Outside, Xiao Yifeng listened to the whispers inside and left quietly.
"Why don't you go in?"
Huangfuchen walked over, Xiao Yifeng shook his head, Huangfuchen glanced inside and understood.
"Yifeng, Lingxi is here." Huangfuchen suddenly said, "Are you still planning to avoid her?"
Xiao Yifeng's eyes flashed slightly.
Huangfu Chen sighed, "In the past few days, you have been shutting yourself up in your room. You have also ignored Lingxi's summons. Do you really plan to... just go on like this?" Huangfu Chen looked at him.
Like a blade, it seemed that he could see through the most hidden parts of his heart at a glance.
"Yifeng, what are you struggling with? You..."
"Enough!"
Suddenly Xiao Yifeng interrupted him with a low scolding, and his face turned a little pale.
This was the first time Huangfu Chen saw Xiao Yifeng showing this expression.
They have been together for so many years, how could Huangfu Chen not know what he was thinking?
Huangfu Chen continued, "You should know what Lingxi's temperament is. Do you think she will change herself because of what you are like now? Do you not believe in yourself, or do you not believe in her? You have experienced so many ups and downs together, do you think she will change herself?
Are you willing to give her even this little trust?"
"What if it were you?"
"What?"
Yifeng's eyes were heavy, "If it were you and your cultivation was completely lost and you were completely reduced to a useless person, what would you do?"
He was startled, "I..."
"Is it just that when I stay with her, I can only watch and do nothing when she is in danger? When she is bullied, I can't protect her and seek justice for her? Or when she is in pain and helpless, I can only
Can you feel sorry for yourself like a loser but can't do anything for her?"
"You are not me, don't make decisions for me." Yifeng turned around, with a lonely back but with an inexplicable desolation, "This is the only thing I can do for her now. Since now I have
If we have no connection with the Mysterious World, then she, I, and...you are people from two different worlds. Instead of letting her suffer with me, it would be better to cut her off completely, and it would be better for her to be implicated by me in the future and live in despair all day long.
among.”
Huangfu Chen was speechless for a long time.
It felt as if a stone had been pressed against my heart, it was so heavy that I couldn't breathe.
Looking at his back, his eyes felt a little sore, but he didn't know why he couldn't shed tears.
Perhaps, as early as that night, his tears had dried up.
Yes, if he were in a different place, could he really be calm and be the Huangfu Chen he was before?
Huangfuchen smiled bitterly, maybe he would make the same decision as Xiao Yifeng.
That being the case, what qualifications does he have to say these high-sounding words?
"...Are you really planning to do this?" Huangfu Chen's voice was slightly hoarse, "Lingxi is just like her. It's hard for anyone to change her mind about anything she decides. Even if you avoid seeing her, she probably won't.
give up."
Xiao Yifeng was silent for a long time.
After a moment, he said, "Then let her give up completely."
Xiao Yifeng's voice was extremely calm, but there was a hint of coldness and desolation in it.
Huangfu Chen's heart skipped a beat, as if he vaguely knew what he wanted to do, and his heart gradually sank...
****
Lingxi was sitting in the hall, and a disciple of Guangming Hall was pouring tea for her, but he was quietly looking at her from the corner of his eye.
You can't blame this disciple for being rude.
It's really because this girl has been in a daze from just now to now, and for some reason she keeps looking at the door of the temple without moving. Those who don't know think she is a statue!
"Wait a moment, miss. We have sent someone to pass the news. I believe Mr. Xiao will be here soon." The disciple greeted him very politely.
But there was still no response from Xiao Lingxi.
The disciple scratched his head and retreated.
Lingxi looked at the door quietly. After a long time, the figure that made her miss her so much still did not appear.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
…
Until sunset, the disciples who were guarding outside couldn't bear it any longer. They sent people to pass on the news time and time again, but the news they brought back was all at a loss, with no response.
The disciples sighed, what do you mean by this? No matter what, such a beautiful girl has been waiting here for so long, and she looks like she has just recovered from a serious illness, and her face is very bad. I don't know what this Mr. Xiao is.
What do you think...
In the distance, Huangfu Chen walked over and his disciples saluted.
"She...is still in there?" Huangfuchen asked.
"Yes, it's been a whole day, and she's just waiting there without eating or drinking. Mr. Huangfu, why don't you go in and try to persuade her? We've tried to persuade her to no avail!"
"Thank you for your help. Leave this to me. You go ahead and do your work."
"yes."
The disciples left, and Huangfu Chen walked to the door. When he heard the noise, Ling Xi stood up in surprise, but when he saw Huangfu Chen coming in, the light in his eyes dimmed.
Huangfu Chen couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart when he saw this scene, but he smiled and said, "What? I'm not happy to see you?"
Lingxi raised his head, "...He still doesn't want to see me?"
He paused on his feet and sighed.
Huangfuchen walked up to Xiao Lingxi, worry flashed in his eyes, "His face is so ugly, why do you look at him like this?"
Xiao Lingxi subconsciously touched her face, feeling a little at a loss, "I... don't know..."
"Follow me and go rest first."
"But……"
"If you want to see him, just listen to me."
"Can you let him see me?" Xiao Lingxi's eyes lit up and she immediately followed. Huangfuchen slowed down and said, "Go and rest first. Don't even look at your appearance now. Your face is as white as a ghost."
"I'm going to rest! I listen to you! Then when will you let me see him?" Xiao Lingxi stared at Huangfuchen closely, as if he would not give up until he got a definite answer from his mouth.
"soon."
"How fast is soon?" Xiao Lingxi said reluctantly.
Huangfu Chen sighed, "Tomorrow, are you ready? Stop it, don't ask me again, or I won't take you there!"
She finally calmed down and nodded honestly, as if she was well-behaved, "I will listen to you, but you must keep your word!"
While talking, Huangfu Chen took Xiao Lingxi to a room, "Okay, I will keep my word. Now you can go and rest, right?"
"Hmm. By the way, how is Xuewei?" Xiao Lingxi suddenly asked.
"Do you always think of Xuewei now?" Huangfuchen glanced at her.
Lingxi blushed a little and scratched his face in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, her vitality is still strong, her condition is quite stable, and she should wake up soon."
"Then I'll go see her!"
"Not now! Your main task now is to have a good rest, otherwise, you won't see anyone!" He was deliberately fierce.
Lingxi immediately wilted when he saw it. He nodded obediently and went to rest.
This look made Huangfu Chen feel sour in his heart, so he turned around and planned to get her something to eat.
"Senior brother."
Xiao Lingxi suddenly stopped Huangfuchen. (To be continued)
