After getting the expected answer, Li Fenglan was not only relieved, but also had some joy that he didn’t realize.
Ling Buyan did not choose to deceive himself.
——No matter who, after experiencing all kinds of betrayals, they would cherish this kind of magnanimity.
The wind and snow in snowy Meizhou rested for a while, and Li Fenglan’s long hair also slowly fell down.
He pursed his lips and asked: “Then you… Then when did you know about it? Was it at the beginning, or a while ago.” When Li Fenglan asked this sentence, he was extremely nervous.
After getting along for this period of time, Li Fenglan already knew what kind of person Ling Buyan was.
When he didn’t want to answer his own question, or when it was inconvenient to answer, he would still speak directly.
And as long as it was what Ling Buyan said, it will never be mixed with fake stuff.
Such a discovery made Li Fenglan very relieved.
Obviously they haven’t known each other for long, but unconsciously, Li Fenglan already trusted him very much.
Ling Buyan sighed softly, looked towards the snowy field, and said after a while: “I knew it since before.”
Ling Buyan’s voice was not loud, but these words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Li Fenglan’s heart.
To be able to ask this question, Fenglan must have been mentally prepared.
But after hearing the answer, his mood was not calm at all.
From the day of his rebirth, Li Fenglan seemed to be in a fog. The calm was calm, but this calm made a person particularly disturbed.
Ling Buyan admitted that he knew that he was Li Fuyue, it was like a sharp sword piercing through this fog.
Li Fenglan had too many unknown things that he was curious about, and now he didn’t know where to start.
There seemed to be a mess in his mind, and Li Fenglan could only ask questions instinctively.
“…Then the past five years?”
“I was indeed retreat,” Ling Buyan finally showed a smile, “But I also left my spiritual consciousness by your side, if you were in danger, I would naturally come to help you. “
Sure enough.
Thinking about it carefully, the previous few appearances by Ling Buyan were all to help him out.
——Whether it was the death of Cheng Duan’s avatar, or Jiang Yichang’s investigation to himself after Cheng Huang’s sudden appearance.
“When Cheng Duan’s incident happened, I saw that you passed out, and the situation didn’t seem to be very good, so I wanted to help you.”
Ling Buyan’s tone was too calm. He said these words, as if he was just helping his disciple and cleaning the room, he didn’t think it was a big deal at all.
After a long silence, Li Fenglan spoke again: “Then why did master help me? Since you know that I am Li Fuyue, you must also know that I… am not a good person.”
Li Fenglan thought that when he said this, his tone was cold and hard.
But he didn’t know that when these words fell into Ling Buyan’s ears, it felt a little bit like he was wronged.
What’s more, Li Fenglan’s grievances for more than a thousand years seemed to have been integrated into this sentence.
“Good person?” Hearing Li Fenglan’s words, Ling Buyan shook his head suddenly.
He took two steps forward, blocking the wind and snow behind his back.
“I don’t know how to be a ‘good person’ and how to be a ‘bad person’. But even if you use the worldly rules to judge, you have never wronged anyone.” When Ling Buyan said this, his expression was extremely serious.
This sentence resounded loudly.
And hearing Ling Buyan say that, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but feel inspired.
It was the first time in a millennia that someone said he had “never wronged anyone”.
“I…”
Ling Buyan put his hand on Li Fenglan’s shoulder slowly, and he interrupted the other party’s sentence before he could finish.
“Even if you fell into qi deviation, Li Fuyue was still able to suppress his instincts, he never indulged himself. Even if he was misunderstood and doubted by everyone in the cultivation world, he never changed.”
While talking, Ling Buyan carefully moved the snowflakes falling on Li Fenglan’s clothes.
He smiled and continued: “Remember, I once said that if I were you, I would really wreak havoc on the world for them to see. This sentence was not a joke. If others were reduced to such a situation, they would also give up on themselves. But you didn’t.”
Li Fenglan laughed at himself: “Maybe I didn’t have that courage.”
“No,” Ling Buyan shook his head, and he put his hands lightly on Li Fenglan’s shoulders, “Fenglan, you are a very special person. Even more so for me. “
Special person?
Ling Buyan’s words… What did he mean?
Li Fenglan could feel that the “special” that the other party said should be just “special”.
Yet when the words of Ling Buyan came out, Li Fenglan’s face turned red with a “swipe”.
He hurriedly looked away and nodded in a panic.
Ling Buyan’s hand also slowly dropped.
Li Fenglan, who finally adjusted his mood, quickly pursed his lips and said: “I still have a few questions that I would like to ask master.”
—Unknowingly, he changed the address to Ling Buyan back to “Master”.
“En, you can ask.” “Ling Buyan nodded lightly.
The snow-covered Meizhou was located between two rivers. Although the two rivers had floating ice, they were not frozen all year round. There was indeed a big temperature difference within the snow-covered Meizhou.
Therefore, seen from a height, snowy Meizhou was covered by the mist rising from these two rivers for more than half of the year.
Li Fenglan felt that this river was very much like his mood all the time, always shrouded in a cloud of fog.
Today, he finally had a chance, so Li Fenglan asked all of it in one go: “I want to know who revived me. Why are you being so nice to me? Who are you…”
Li Fenglan spoke extremely quickly, but as soon as the voice fell, he became anxious again after realizing it.
“I don’t want to owe anyone anything.” He added this sentence with some stubbornness.
Li Fenglan didn’t know that his nervous appearance was extremely cute in the eyes of the man opposite him.
He only saw that when he finished speaking, Ling Buyan suddenly smiled.
“I don’t know how to answer the question you asked…”
What! Ling Buyan can actually be perfunctory?
As if seeing what Li Fenglan was thinking, Ling Buyan shook his head quickly and said, “I don’t intend to skimp on you.”
“Then why didn’t you answer me?” Apart from cultivation, Li Fenglan was rarely so attached to anything.
“There are some things that I haven’t dealt with yet. After I’ve dealt with them, I will say everything I can say.”
“But…”
“Don’t worry, you don’t owe anyone, including me. In the future, I may also need your help, so restore your cultivation well and don’t be burdened.” Ling Buyan’s current tone was as if he was really Li Fenglan’s master.
At the end, Ling Buyan smiled and added: “After all, you are Li Fuyue.”
From the moment he fell into qi deviation, Li Fenglan had some resistance to the word “Li Fuyue”.
However, hearing this name from Ling Buyan’s mouth at this time, he actually felt pretty good for the first time.
Hearing his words, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but think—Ling Buyan seemed to have told himself that his purpose was to restore his cultivation.
Thinking of this, Li Fenglan smiled instead.
It’s strange to say.
Most of the people in the previous life approached him or betrayed him for a purpose. Ever since he was reborn, Li Fenglan hated words like “purpose” and “use”.
But when he thought of Ling Buyan saying these two words frankly, Li Fenglan’s heart, which was still extremely entangled just now, miraculously calmed down.
At this moment, Ling Buyan looked at Li Fenglan, suddenly smiled and said: “We are the only ones in this world.”
What does it mean… we are the only ones?
Could it be that Ling Buyan also experienced the same things as himself?
Ling Buyan was always mysterious, and Li Fenglan knew that he would never give an answer to the question he didn’t want to answer.
The snow in the sky grew bigger again. There was fog and heavy snow, covering the entire Xianyun Palace.
Not to mention the dead branches of the foggy plum below, even the towering snow-capped mountains were gone.
At this time, in Li Fenglan’s world, there was only flying snow and Ling Buyan.
Although he didn’t understand the meaning of Ling Buyan’s words, at this moment Li Fenglan felt that the world really seemed to be just like what Ling Buyan said, only the two of them were left.
The atmosphere became a little strange.
Just when Li Fenglan was thinking about what Ling Buyan said just now, the man standing opposite him suddenly pulled him back.
“Why—” Before Li Fenglan finished speaking, he saw a flash of sword light in the distance, and Lin Chaochen once again appeared in the sky above snowy Meizhou with a sword. After a pause, he headed towards the secret room again.
But at this moment, Li Fenglan had no time to pay attention to that misfortunate junior!
Because at this moment, he was hugged tightly by Ling Buyan…
It wasn’t until this moment that Li Fenglan realized that Ling Buyan was half a head taller than himself.
The man looked thin, but his frame was a whole circle bigger than him.
At this moment, his whole body was wrapped in Ling Buyan’s arms.
He could even feel the thin muscles on Ling Buyan’s body and the powerful beating of his heart.
If Li Fenglan’s feeling was correct, Ling Buyan’s heartbeat at this moment was also abnormally fast.
As for why he said “also”? Naturally, it was because Li Fenglan’s heart was beating crazily.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Buyan finally let Li Fenglan go.
Li Fenglan coughed unnaturally twice and said, “Ahem… why was Lin Chaochen here again?”
At the same time, he saw that Ling Buyan’s ears had turned red.
… his master also knows how to blush!
Ling Buyan seemed to have noticed what Li Fenglan was looking at, he suddenly turned around.
Ling Buyan didn’t know that, when he turned around, his red ears became more and more obvious.
Li Fenglan: ! ! !
The next moment, Ling Buyan changed the subject: “When you came to snowy Meizhou just now, did you see someone?”
Since many days ago, his disciple Meng Linzhou had been digging in snowy Meizhou. When Li Fenglan passed by here just now, he seemed to have seen Meng Linzhou’s figure…
No way? Meng Linzhou?
After hearing Li Fenglan’s words, Ling Buyan finally turned around.
His face became a little normal, and he saw Ling Buyan smile and nod without feeling guilty at all: “I just made a little noise at Meng Linzhou’s place, and Lin Chaochen rushed over. Now those two people should have exchanged blows at least once.”
At this moment, Li Fenglan suddenly sympathized with the rebel disciples…
In the next few days, Li Fenglan would still go to snowy Meizhou to meditate.
However, after learning from the experience and lessons of last time, he finally left a back-up man——Meng Linzhou.
Seeing Meng Linzhou digging soil outside snowy Meizhou every day, Li Fenglan gave him one thing to do, which was to help notify him.
It might be unreliable for the rebel disciple to do other things, but he did a good job in this.
With Meng Linzhou’s cooperation, after half a month, Li Fenglan’s dao heart finally completely melted back into his body.
At the same time, another wave of ferocious beasts broke out.
If Mu Hantao, who had been studying ferocious beasts for many years, was right, this wave of ferocious beasts was the largest in the history of the cultivation world.
For this reason, all the cultivators in Tianmian Palace who were not in retreat and could be called were all called to the main peak.
Li Fenglan survived two tribulations in succession and gained some fame in the cultivation world, but he still didn’t have the qualification to go to the main peak, so he was happy about it.
After Ling Buyan went to the main peak, Li Fenglan fed Cheng Huang in Miguang Mountain as usual.
——It took care of the elixir that Lin Chaochen and Qiu Wanyou sent recently.
“Why do I feel that you seemed to have grown up?” Li Fenglan whispered while feeding the elixir to Cheng Huang, “Or did you gain weight?”
Cheng Huang was just a juvenile beast. According to Li Fenglan’s calculation, it would take at least a thousand years before it could really grow up.
Hearing Li Fenglan’s words, Cheng Huang tilted his head to look at his master as usual, and let out an innocent “woo woo” a few times.
Seeing this, Li Fenglan stretched out his hand and touched Cheng Huang’s head: “Forget it, eat, master said that you can eat it, so there should be no problem.”
Li Fenglan didn’t think about it, the accident happened at this moment.
Before he could stuff the elixir in his hand into Cheng Huang’s mouth, the little guy suddenly howled “Aw–“.
Cheng Huang’s back suddenly arched, and the whole beast suddenly became extremely restless.
“Cheng Huang, what’s wrong with you?” Li Fenglan asked with a frown.
He saw that Cheng Huang’s blue eyes suddenly flashed blood red. It was still showing off its cuteness to Li Fenglan just now, yet now it suddenly didn’t recognize its owner.
Cheng Huang took a few steps back and bared his teeth at Li Fenglan.
And Li Fenglan, who was squatting here just now, also slowly stood up straight.
The current appearance of Cheng Huang was almost the same as when he first saw it thousands of years ago.
“Cheng Huang—” Li Fenglan tried to call it again while backing away.
But as soon as his words fell, Cheng Huang immediately rushed towards Li Fenglan and bit him.
It seemed that it was no longer afraid of the Dingyan spell!
One must know that the Dingyan spell was engraved on its soul…
At this moment, Li Fenglan thought of the recent tide of ferocious beasts, the appearance of Cheng Huang, and all kinds of past events thousands of years ago.
He can feel that these things were definitely related!
Cheng Huang was his spirit beast, and it was only as big as a fox. Of course, Li Fenglan was reluctant to draw his sword at it like he did thousands of years ago.
Just when the little guy came towards him and bit him, Li Fenglan immediately dodged.
However, Cheng Huang, who lost his mind, did not intend to stop.
Although it stayed by Li Fenglan’s side all day to show off its cuteness, it can’t change the essence of himself – it was an ancient beast.
This time, Cheng Huang’s voice changed.
It lowered its head, looked at Li Fenglan, and screamed under its throat, “Woo–“
After a pause for a few seconds, it rushed towards Li Fenglan’s position again.
Most of the furnishings in the room were also knocked down by Cheng Huang.
In fact, even if Li Fenglan didn’t use a sword, he could trap it with spells. But if he did that, Cheng Huang was bound to get hurt.
Although it was just a spirit beast that did not understand human language, to Li Fenglan, Cheng Huang had a different meaning.
It was simple and cute, and it was one of the few positive connections between Li Fenglan and his previous life, and was even his only partner at one time.
But Cheng Huang’s state this time was really too strange.
After all, it was a natural ferocious beast with extremely strong physical fitness. If Li Fenglan did not use spiritual power, it could not be compared with Cheng Huang.
So not long after, Cheng Huang bit Li Fenglan’s arm.
——Then the Dingyan spell took effect, and a dazzling golden light flashed, and it went towards Cheng Huang.
“Hiss… are you hungry, do you want to eat meat?” Li Fenglan finally grabbed the flesh of the back of its neck while Cheng Huang was biting his arm.
In the past, Li Fenglan probably wouldn’t be able to bear Cheng Huang’s mouth.
Fortunately, now he had merged with his Dao heart, and the Dingyan spell had taken effect, and Cheng Huang’s attack had also been interrupted.
Apart from the pain, Li Fenglan had no other worries.
After tasting the bloody smell in his mouth, Cheng Huang was stunned for a moment, and then the red threads in his icy blue eyes finally dissipated slowly.
It slowly opened its mouth, and its expression suddenly became a little confused.
After a few more breaths, the little guy finally looked up at Li Fenglan, and then looked down at his master’s arm.
“Woo?”
What’s the situation, why am I here?
“You are finally fine.” Li Fenglan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly put Cheng Huang on the ground.
Li Fenglan reached out to press the wound on his arm, and walked quickly to the table.
Cheng Huang, who hadn’t figured out the situation yet, was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed his master and walked into the room.
Now Li Fenglan’s cultivation had recovered a lot. If he was bitten by an ordinary beast, with his strength, the wound would heal itself without taking too long.
However, Cheng Huang was not an ordinary beast.
Even if the attack was interrupted, it still cannot be underestimated.
After Li Fenglan returned to the room, he took out the wound medicine from the Qiankun bag, and carefully sprinkled it on his arm.
At this time, Cheng Huang seemed to have remembered what happened just now.
It walked over limply, rubbed against Li Fenglan cautiously, saw that his master didn’t hate him, and then jumped onto the table.
“Woo~” Cheng Huang gently rubbed his head against the back of Li Fenglan’s hand, while its owner sighed, touched Cheng Huang’s head and said, “It’s okay, I don’t blame you.”
At this time, Li Fenglan’s wound medicine had also been sprinkled.
He picked up Cheng Huang, tapped the tip of the little guy’s nose and asked, “What happened to you just now?”
Even though the two of them didn’t speak the same language, Li Fenglan still judged from Cheng Huang’s reaction—it probably didn’t know what happened with him.
Cheng Huang became extremely guilty because of his behavior just now.
After rubbing against Li Fenglan for a while, it suddenly turned around, laid down on the table, and covered its face with its long tail.
“What are you doing?” Cheng Huang’s appearance made Li Fenglan laugh.
More than a thousand years ago, in his last life, he was completely invincible in the cultivation world, and he was hardly injured.
If he was bitten by a fierce beast at that time, Li Fenglan might really be depressed for a while.
However, in the last few years, Li Fenglan was not uncommonly injured.
Just being bitten by a fierce beast had no effect on him at all.
After a pause, Li Fenglan pulled Cheng Huang up. Then he discovered an extremely astonishing thing—Cheng Huang, lying there with his head buried just now, was crying!
At this time, there was actually a small puddle of water on the table.
After being pulled up by Li Fenglan, Cheng Huang became even more sad all of a sudden, and even started to twitch, looking really aggrieved.
Li Fenglan: “…”
Why does he feel that he bullied Cheng Huang?
Before Li Fenglan hugged Cheng Huang to comfort him, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the room. Li Fenglan didn’t close the door just now, so when he looked up, he saw that there was a lot of people coming.
“Fenglan, what’s wrong with your arm?” Ling Buyan saw at a glance that half of Li Fenglan’s sleeves were already stained red with blood, and there was even a lot of blood on his hands.
Ling Buyan walked in without any pause in his footsteps.
And Cheng Huang, who was extremely guilty, saw Ling Buyan entering the door, he let out a “woo”, turned around and got into Li Fenglan’s quilt, leaving only a big tail dangling outside.
It was really terrified.
But Ling Buyan ignored Cheng Huang, he walked over and gently rolled up Li Fenglan’s sleeves, frowned and said: “Why didn’t you treat the wound properly and just spray the medicine on it?”
When Ling Buyan spoke, there was no smile on his face. Although his tone was calm, Li Fenglan really felt a little guilty by what he said.
“Uh… it’s just a matter of course. Anyways, I’m not seriously injured, and I’ll be fine after a while.”
Ling Buyan shook his head. He conjured a glass of water out of thin air, and took out a silk handkerchief to clean up Li Fenglan’s wound carefully.
Ling Buyan’s movements were very light, and the edge of the silk handkerchief fell on the uninjured skin of Li Fenglan’s arm, and a tingling sensation also spread along the nerves and all over the body.
But no matter how lightly Ling Buyan moved, Li Fenglan’s wound still hurt a little.
“Hiss—” Li Fenglan couldn’t help but gasp.
When Li Fenglan sprayed the medicine himself, he didn’t even blink his eyes. But when the person who dealt with the wound was Ling Buyan, Li Fenglan subconsciously showed his weakness of “fearing pain”.
It was like Cheng Huang who would gently turn his belly out in front of him.
Hearing Li Fenglan gasp, Ling Buyan paused his actions and finally said: “Sorry.” There was also a bit of self-blame in his tone.
Then the movements of his hands became lighter.
But maybe because Ling Buyan’s movements were too gentle, Li Fenglan actually felt that the atmosphere in the room had become a little strange.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for his wound to be cleaned up. At this time, it can be clearly seen that there was a big tooth mark on Li Fenglan’s arm.
Ling Buyan frowned suddenly, sighed and said, “No wonder it got under the quilt as soon as it saw me.”
“It didn’t do it on purpose—” Li Fenglan hurriedly explained.
“En, I know,” Ling Buyan said softly while carefully spraying medicine on Li Fenglan’s wound, “If I’m not mistaken, Cheng Huang should also be affected by the tide of ferocious beasts.”
Hearing the words “tide of ferocious beasts”, Li Fenglan’s expression immediately became serious.
When they were in Xihou City last time, they also encountered a wave of ferocious beasts, but Cheng Huang didn’t respond.
If the wave of ferocious beasts this time had already affected Cheng Huang, then its scale was indeed unprecedented…
Ling Buyan seemed to have guessed what Li Fenglan was thinking. He continued to move his hands while saying: “The ferocious beasts in the mortal world have been gathering since a few days ago,”
“En.” Li Fenglan looked at Ling Buyan seriously, waiting for his next words.
“…Do you know where they gathered?”
“Where?”
Ling Buyan put down the wound medicine in his hand, and said, “It’s Tianmian Palace.”
