like.
like.
These two words seem to be both related to "love", but somehow, people have divided them into different levels. The latter seems not as deep and strong as the former, while the former is more passionate and pure than the latter.
Xie Buchen used these two to distinguish their past feelings, which made Jianchou feel a little strangely dazed.
She thought that what he said might not be wrong.
Putting aside grudges, it seems to be true in terms of feelings alone.
But so what
She lost her mother and her husband at a young age, and she saw that all living beings were suffering. She had experienced the warmth and fickleness of human nature countless times. What Xie Buchen experienced later were nothing more than what she had experienced before.
He has experienced the vicissitudes of this world, but still has to ask questions from heaven.
She has experienced the sufferings of the world, so her temperament is more indifferent than that of ordinary people who are ignorant of suffering. This is normal.
Everything that happened yesterday has become who I am today.
She has feelings for Xie Buchen, but as Xie Buchen said, although her feelings are deep, they are limited to the word "like". When she is deeply in love with him, she can't extricate herself, but once she gets the chance to let go, she doesn't think it matters too much.
Maybe I have forgotten it.
Sometimes love arises from pure desire and thought, sometimes from like-mindedness, sometimes from gratitude and respect, and even from close friends who have gone through hardships together.
In Jianchou's view, it is often a mixture of many emotions.
Never pure.
Maybe in Xie Buchen's view, it is just an illusion that confuses people's reason
The more you experience, the deeper your love.
Xie Buchen had only accompanied her through a few ordinary hardships, allowing her to have all the beautiful hopes of a home; but she had accompanied Xie Buchen through life of luxury, escaped the confiscation of his family, and after many hardships, she finally had a home again...
He should love her more deeply.
She has put away her past love and is no longer immersed in the mood of that year. All the unforgettable things in the past will gradually fade away.
I can’t thank you for that.
He held the sword to kill her because he wanted to kill the one he loved but could not. When a person dies, the love fades. No matter how deep the love is, it will slowly let go. Prejudice is sad but it never dies. The love grows with the love, so if there is no day to resolve it, it will always be engraved in the heart, and as the intersection increases, it becomes more unforgettable.
The sorrow at this moment is a calm narration of the facts.
At this moment, Xie Buchen just calmly recounted the past.
At least on the surface, there was a coldness between the two of them, and it seemed that there was not even a trace of the love they once had, and they were both extremely rational.
After a long silence, Jianchou finally laughed and sighed, "In the final analysis, you and I are both mortals, and the word 'love' is not long-lasting compared to other things in this vast universe. Things in the world are often strange, neither in your calculations nor in my expectations. Those who want to get rid of it will get deeper and deeper; those who don't want to get rid of it will have no worries..."
What you want to get rid of, you get deeper and deeper into;
If you don't want to get rid of it, you will have no worries.
This word is surprisingly appropriate to describe the two of them.
Xie Buchen knew what she meant, but when he was about to respond, his calm eyes flickered slightly and he looked towards the door of the torture room next to him.
Some people go and come back.
Jianchou also noticed it, and turned his gaze to look at the closed door.
It’s not Qu Zhengfeng, but Xue Yin.
In the long corridor outside, her light, unobstructed footsteps were heard.
But it didn't come towards Jianchou, but went towards the opposite side.
The torture chamber on the other side of the corridor was equally simple, with bare walls and only a grayish-white three-foot-long column standing on the ground, connected to the rocks underground.
Lu Xiangleng was tied to it.
When Xue Yin pushed the door open and walked in, she saw that the woman who originally had a rather aloof demeanor had turned completely pale, with blood staining her front and blood stains still on her lips. She looked completely miserable and dejected!
"Xiao Mou" held a snow-white soul-catching rope in his hand. He did not do anything to Lu Xiangleng at this moment. Instead, he seemed to have noticed that she was about to come in. He stopped all his movements, turned sideways, and looked at her.
Qu Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.
He coughed, his voice a little strange and cold: "Senior Sister Xue Yin, is there anything else?"
There was a faint smell of blood floating in the air, the unique smell of blood that belongs to living people.
Xue Yin was a little surprised.
In her past understanding, Xiao Mou had always been a person with little sense of existence except for being bullied by Lian Zhao. He was eccentric and taciturn, and even had a sense of submissiveness. However, at this moment, she saw that the female cultivator from the Nineteenth Continent had obviously suffered torture, and she felt a little shocked for a moment.
On the way to the Watchtower Station, no one imposed any punishment on the female cultivator, and when she came to see her before, she was still fine.
How long has Xiao Mou been standing here
This female cultivator with a high level of cultivation had actually fainted and was seriously injured!
However, Xiao Mou, who was holding the soul-catching rope, did not have any extra expression on his face. He looked the same as before, without any change, as if the torture suffered by the female cultivator was not caused by him!
It really makes people feel strangely scared.
The facts of this torture interrogation are different from the impression Xue Yin had of Xiao Mou...
However, since he was able to endure Lian Zhao’s oppression for more than ten years and even made great progress in his cultivation, is he really someone who is easy to deal with
Xue Yin suddenly felt a little more daunted.
She did not suspect anything else, but stood six feet inside the door and said with a smile, "Nothing happened, but I ran into Elder Kong when I was leaving just now. He sent me to tell you that in addition to interrogating them about how they entered and exited the Ghost Gate, it would be best to find out the strength of the cultivators from the Nineteen Continents. If you can find out a plan for deploying troops, that would be even better."
"knew."
There was no trace of blood on Qu Zhengfeng's lips, and a sickly aura always lingered on his face. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like a vicious person.
"Thank you for passing on the message, Senior Sister Lian Zhao and I will definitely do our best."

Xueyin had no intention of informing Ren Zhao at all. Who knows what kind of erotic and obscene scene she would see if she opened the door opposite
After she delivered her message, she planned to leave immediately because she felt that the Xiao Mou she knew in the past seemed to be quite different from the real Xiao Mou. For some reason, she didn't dare to stay for long.
But after taking just one step, he stopped again.
A very subtle feeling suddenly emerged in her heart, which made her recall the various reactions of Lian Zhao when he bullied Xiao Mou in the past...
In her early years, Lian Zhao was radiant and bright, and she could wear a dark black dress with red embroidery, yet she could still exude arrogance. She first met Xiao Mou when he had just joined the Wuchang clan.
Lian Zhao was already being flattered by others at that time and was very domineering.
She and Xiao Mou were walking towards each other. Xiao Mou wanted to give way, but she wanted to go around him. They swayed back and forth twice, but she didn't give way at all.
So she got angry.
Yan Ye raised her face and asked him very rudely: "How dare you, a newcomer, block my way? What's your name?"
Xiao Mou looked sick and timid when he first arrived at the Wuchang Clan. When he raised his head and looked directly at Lian Zhao, he was stunned.
Then came embarrassment.
He lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Xiao Mou."
Lian Zhao then recited it and said to him with a smile: "I will remember you."
Then she left.
Three days later, Xiao Mou, who had just joined the clan, was beaten up by several senior brothers from the Wuchang clan who had been members of the clan for a long time and was seriously injured.
Xue Yin vaguely remembered that she had seen Xiao Mou, who was recovering from his injuries, looking somewhat depressed...
Later, Lian Zhao simply bullied him.
For someone like Xiao Mou who had no sense of existence, only Lianzhao remembered him for a long time because of the conflict on that side. Every time they met ten times, she would always mock him three or five times, and even smilingly called him "consumptive ghost" with others.
It can be said that Lian Zhao is Xiao Mou's nightmare.
But in this oppressive bullying, the lonely and silent Xiao Mou practiced on his own. At first, he was not noticed by others and was unknown. But by the time others noticed him, his practice was already comparable to Lian Zhao, and he was not inferior to him.
From then on, Lian Zhao's targeting became more and more severe.
But the strange thing is that Xiao Mou, who clearly had the power to contend with Lian Zhao, still endured it. He allowed Lian Zhao to cause trouble for him everywhere and did not retaliate.
In the past, everyone, including Xue Yin, thought that Xiao Mou was just a cowardly person, and that Lian Zhao had someone backing him up, so he didn't resist at all and just endured it as usual.
But now I think about it...
Is this the only possibility
Why can't it be something else? Shocking, but reasonable...
The numerous complex details came together in an instant, and combined with some extremely abnormal circumstances today, what was pieced together was an astonishing guess!
At this moment, Xueyin herself couldn't believe it.
But this sudden shock made her completely unable to control herself. The moment she stopped, she looked back at "Xiao Mou" and blurted out: "You like her?!"
"… "
Qu Zhengfeng also thought that she was going to leave, and did not expect that she would suddenly turn around and say such a sentence. When he heard it suddenly, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Deep in his eyes, there was danger bubbling out!
However, it disappeared after only a moment.
Because he realized that the other party was saying that Xiao Mou liked Lian Zhao.
At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Yukine, who was very annoying most of the time, in a different light.
After all, even Jianchou, who had searched Lianzhao's soul, was unaware of this.
This ghost cultivator from the Wuchang clan named "Xiao Mou" who is always bullied by Lian Zhao, does have a secret and humble feeling for this woman who always bullies him.
He was searching for Xiao Mou's soul, so he knew it clearly.
It's just that Xiao Mou hid this kind of feeling very well, and even Lian Zhao, who he liked, didn't notice it at all. As a result, Jianchou, who was very perceptive, didn't notice it when searching Lian Zhao's soul, and naturally others didn't know it. Or generally speaking, normal people would not think about it this way.
Therefore, Qu Zhengfeng did not tell Jianchou about this detail.
First, there is no need;
Second, he and Jianchou each pretended to be one of them. If they didn't know, they would be frank, but if they did, they would be embarrassed.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Mou's feelings would be revealed by Xue Yin!
Does this mean that…
No matter how secretive and subtle the feelings in this world are, as long as they really exist, there will be a day when they will be noticed by those who are interested.
But most of the time, those who are interested are, after all, a minority.
Qu Zhengfeng raised his hand and casually touched the pale sick face with his fingertips, as if he wanted to confirm that he was still pretending to be Xiao Mou, and not someone else.
Then he put his hand down.
His sickly look was no different from when Xue Yin first came in. He smiled calmly and said, "I like... her, it's true. But what does this have to do with Senior Sister Xue Yin?"
