On Jueming Cliff, a young man wearing a white background and blue pattern disciple uniform is practicing sword.
The swordsmanship is ruthless, and every move is fatal.
Sweat ran down his cheeks, soaking a large area of his back, but he didn't seem to feel tired and refused to stop.
Yu Shaozhi stood not far away and looked at him, wanted to open his mouth several times, but in the end he still didn't make a sound.
quietly waiting for him.
A sword light suddenly hit him directly, but Yu Shaozhi didn't move, looking calmly at Lin Liaoting who was holding the sword.
When the sword was an inch away from him, it was nailed to the tree behind him.
As if Lin Liaoting didn't see him, he pulled out his sword, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Yu Shaozhi followed behind him.
"Qingru is here and wants to see you." Yu Shaozhi spoke first.
Only then did Lin Liaoting's silent eyes react, but he didn't look at him, and gave a faint "hmm".
Seeing his reluctance to talk, Yu Shaozhi fell silent.
Ever since Yu Shaozhi saw Lin Liaoting again, he had already become like this, wrapping himself in indifference, making it difficult for anyone to get close to him.
In fact, he can also understand that the Lin family was destroyed first, then tortured in the dungeon for so long, and then...
He also watched Jian Xiuyun choose Kan Wenxiao with his own eyes.
He still remembered the day when Jian Xiuyun came to say goodbye to them, Lin Liaoting's eyes were full of collapse and despair.
For the first time, even looking at Jian Xiuyun was full of hatred.
"Master, he is Kan Wenxiao! Can you disregard tens of thousands of lives from my Lin family and the Eighth Gate sect?"
Jian Xiuyun didn't look at him, but turned his head to look out the window, obviously his shoulders were trembling, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry."
I don't know who I'm talking to.
Lin Liao Ting laughed loudly, and stepped back with red eyes. He held the jade pendant by his side with his hand, pulled it off and fell to the ground, and the jade pendant made a cracking sound when it touched the ground.
It was a gift from Jian Xiuyun when he made the crown ceremony.
"Then from today onwards, I will not have you as a master." Lin Liao Ting said, striding out.
Between the opening and closing of the gate, only the wind and snow are desolate, that is the sound of parting.
Jian Xiuyun watched his back disappear, but did not chase him after all.
There were only the two of them left in the house.
Jian Xiuyun sighed lightly, then turned to Yu Shaozhi and asked, "You blame me too?"
Yu Shaozhi looked at him, with indescribable emotions in his eyes, "What position do I have to blame you?"
Jian Xiuyun paused, and said: "Junior Brother, Liao Ting will leave it to you."
Yu Shaozhi didn't respond, his eyes fell on his wrist, where a thin red rope was tied at some time.
He remembered that his senior brother never liked these bright colors.
Who fastened this? Who is it for
Yu Shaozhi's throat was a little bitter, he thought, he was never the one who could make Jian Xiuyun tainted with the world.
Yu Shaozhi raised his head, with a warm smile on his lips as usual, "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of him."
Take good care of the rivers and mountains that Kan Wenxiao gave up, and take good care of your apprentice.
I also hope that Kan Wenxiao can take good care of you as well.
He didn't say what he said later, and he probably will never say it again.
After Jian Xiuyun and Kan Wenxiao left, Lin Liaoting never smiled again, nor gave him a good face.
He knew that Lin Liaoting was dissatisfied with him.
In this way, he easily accepted Kan Wenxiao's "sweet food", as if those things had never happened at the beginning.
Yu Shaozhi never argued.
He said that he didn't even believe that there was no hatred in his heart, but the cultivation world had already been hit so hard, and Kan Wenxiao was willing to back down, so why bother to make waves again.
It's not that Lin Liao Ting doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't want to understand.
After Jian Xiuyun and Kan Wenxiao left, all the hatred in his heart seemed to be transferred to Yu Shaozhi.
Yu Shaozhi didn't care, and accepted them one by one.
He thought, one day, time will make everything disappear.
But then Lin Liao Ting seemed to have no feelings at all.
I became more and more silent, but practiced the sword harder and harder.
Yu Shaozhi looked worried, but didn't know how to persuade him.
But Lin Liaoting suddenly took the initiative to find him.
Said that he wanted him to be his master.
It was only then that Yu Shaozhi realized that it was not that he had no feelings, but he just kept them in his heart.
He is simply cultivating Yun.
He also missed Jian Xiuyun.
Yu Shaozhi understood what he meant, held a grand ceremony of apprenticeship, and announced it to the entire cultivation world.
Lin Liao Ting was visibly restless on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, but Jian Xiuyun arrived at the last moment of Li Cheng, instead of stepping forward, he just hid in the crowd.
Yu Shaozhi knew that Lin Liaoting had seen it, and was about to take back the token, but saw him glance in Jian Xiuyun's direction, and then took it decisively.
"Li Cheng." Li Guan said.
But Yu Shaozhi knew in his heart that nothing had been achieved at all, and Jian Xiuyun was still the master in Lin Liaoting's heart.
Sure enough, Lin Liao Ting never called him Master.
"Senior sister." Lin Liaoting looked at the woman standing not far away, and strode over.
Song Qingru straightened her hair and said with a smile, "It's really hard to see you."
Lin Liaoting hooked the corners of her lips, and looked down at the child in her arms.
The child, who was just one year old, was sleeping soundly in her arms.
The child was raised very well, his skin was fair and tender, his face was round, and he bulged with his breath.
Lin Liaoting's eyes softened a little, and he raised his hand to touch his face with his fingertips.
Carefully, as if touching fragile porcelain.
"The child is so young, Xie Tan doesn't know how to accompany you." Lin Liaoting said while leading her into the house.
At the beginning, Kan Wenxiao placed Song Qingru alone in a single place, and sent guards to guard her, both to restrict and protect her. Xie Tan was one of the guards.
But I didn't expect that the two would fall in love for a long time. Later, Yu Shaozhi regained power, her restrictions were lifted, and they married Xie Tan.
It's just that Xie Tan is from Fusang, so Lin Liaoting's attitude towards him is very ordinary, and he never called him brother-in-law.
Lin Liaoting hurt Kan Wenxiao back then, and Xie Tan couldn't understand him, so Song Qingru kept avoiding the two of them meeting.
"It's okay, I'm still a monk no matter what, so don't worry about anything."
Stepping into the house, Song Qingru looked at the deserted room, and knew that there were no permanent residents here, and there was even dust on the table.
Song Qingru turned her head and asked, "How do you usually live?"
Lin Liaoting looked a little embarrassed, and said, "I'll clean it up."
Song Qingru smiled helplessly, and put the child on the bed, "Can you work? Let me do it, and you help me look after the child."
With that said, he started packing up.
When I was sweeping the dust on the cabinet with a duster outside, I didn't know what I touched, and a black package fell off.
You can tell at a glance that it has been left for a long time, and it is covered with dust.
Song Qingru first swept it with a duster, then pinched his nose and opened it, revealing a silver mask with black belts scattered around it, and there were traces of real fire on it.
Song Qingru froze for a moment, then picked up the mask.
There seems to be only one person who has worn this mask for a short while.
She vaguely remembered that at that time, the master took the junior brother to participate in the Fairy Sword Conference, Lin Liaoting refused to accept it, and secretly followed.
But within a few days, he came back angrily holding a mask.
She happened to meet her and asked what was going on
Lin Liaoting said that he took off Kan Wenxiao's mask in public.
After Song Qingru heard it, she was so angry that she grabbed his ear and talked about him for a long time. Finally, Lin Liaoting got tired of hearing it and slapped her hand away, reluctantly saying: "Okay, senior sister, don't say it, the master has already punished me to copy ten After reading the "Heart Sutra", can I repair the mask again?"
"Young junior brother will apologize to him when he comes back."
"Okay, okay, apology." Lin Liaoting vowed.
But only Shizun came back later.
Holding the mask, Lin Liaoting looked behind Jian Xiuyun a few times but did not see Kan Wenxiao. He frowned and asked, "Where is he?"
Jian Xiuyun said: "He may not come back."
She remembered that Lin Liaoting's expression changed instantly.
He grabbed Jian Xiuyun and asked the ins and outs, then silently held the mask and turned back to his room.
She thought that Lin Liaoting had already thrown away the mask, but she didn't expect that he still kept it.
"Hey!" Song Qingru sighed, wrapped the mask with a new cloth, and put it back on.
When she came in, the child was already awake, and Lin Liaoting was playing with him.
Seeing her coming in, Lin Liaoting quickly got up and poured her a glass of water, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Song Qingru smiled and said: "You can't go on like this, why don't you find a Taoist companion."
Lin Liaoting didn't respond, and turned around to continue playing with the child.
"Has he seen the child?" Lin Liaoting suddenly changed the subject.
Although he didn't say it clearly, Song Qingru immediately realized who he was asking.
"Master has already seen it. The longevity lock was given by Master."
Hearing this, Lin Liaoting's eyes fell on the small longevity lock, and he stroked it lightly with his fingers.
"Master and... Xiao Xi'er and the others are..."
"Needless to say, I don't want to hear it either." Lin Liao Ting interrupted her.
Song Qingru curled her lips, she didn't want to ask if she didn't want to hear it.
But having said that, Song Qingru had no choice but to change the subject, "I heard they said that the head treats you very well, maybe you will be the next head."
Lin Liao Ting heard the words, said lightly: "He won't."
"Why?"
Lin Liaoting turned to look at her, and said coldly: "If I am the head of the sect, the first thing I will do is to kill all Fusang people."
Song Qingru retorted, "You won't."
She stood up, walked in front of Lin Liaoting, and patted him on the shoulder, "We grew up together, and I know who you are."
Lin Liao Ting lowered his eyes, "Senior Sister, people change."
Song Qingru nodded, "But some things are hard to change after all."
Lin Liaoting didn't speak, picked up the child and started playing with him.
After sending Song Qingru away, Lin Liaoting tidied up briefly and lay down on the bed.
As usual, he forced himself to close his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, the gate of Wuyuyuan seemed to appear in front of him, and he stepped forward to push the door and walked in.
The senior sister is practicing swords, and the master is sitting on a chair eating freshly baked pine nut lily cakes, and giving instructions from time to time.
Seeing him coming in, he asked lazily, "Why are you late again?"
Lin Liaoting walked in front of him, and just called out "Master", his eyes turned red.
Jian Xiuyun was stunned, and handed over the pastry in his hand, "As for it? I didn't scold you, eat a piece of pastry to calm down."
Lin Liaoting held back tears, picked up a piece of pastry, and before he ate it, he heard a commotion outside.
The little follower ran in bluffing and said to him, "Master, the Patriarch and Madam are here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a noble lady walking in with an extraordinary middle-aged man on her arm.
The tears that Lin Liao Ting had just held back fell down all of a sudden.
He threw himself into the woman's arms and cried, "Mother."
Seeing this, the woman asked anxiously in a gentle voice, "What's wrong with Ting'er? What wronged you? Tell mother."
Jian Xiuyun stood up in embarrassment, and murmured: "It's not because of me, I haven't started scolding yet."
"Yes, Ting'er, what's the matter?" Father Lin asked as he touched his head.
Lin Liao Ting was speechless, but shook his head desperately while crying and said: "I just... miss you... I miss you so much..."
He made the woman uncomfortable, picked up the handkerchief and began to wipe away tears, "Then let's go home for a while, shall we? Mother will take you home."
"Okay... I want to go home... I really want to go home..."
Lin Liaoting buried himself in the woman's arms and cried for a long time before he calmed down.
Jian Xiuyun led them into the room and sat down.
Lin Liaoting held Mother Lin's hand tightly and refused to let go for a moment.
Suddenly there was a slight noise outside the door, Lin Liaoting heard the sound and looked around, only to see a small person hiding behind a pillar not far away.
He only poked his head out a little, looked at them cautiously, and looked at Mrs. Lin who was holding him, with envy in his eyes.
Lin Liaoting immediately recognized that it was Kan Wenxiao who had just arrived.
Still only a few years old.
Lin Liaoting looked at him from a distance, hesitated for a moment, got up and walked over.
Seeing him coming, Kan Wenxiao turned around to leave, but was stopped by a voice behind him.
Kan Wenxiao turned around and looked at him timidly.
Then I saw Lin Liao Ting stretching out his hand to him, with a piece of pine nut and lily cake in his palm.
"For me?" Kan Wenxiao asked in disbelief.
Seeing Lin Liaoting nodding, he took it.
Put it on your lips and take a small bite, the sweetness spreads in your mouth, it is delicious.
"Thanks!"
Lin Liaoting shook his head and looked at him quietly, as if looking at another person through him.
Kan Wenxiao looked at him with some puzzlement, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Liao Ting smiled, but there were tears in his eyes.
Knowing that he didn't understand, he still said, "I won't bully you, so don't kill them, okay?"
Kan Wenxiao followed his gaze, and there was a pair of rich and well-matched bi people sitting there.
Although I don't understand why Lin Liaoting said that.
But he still showed a sweet smile to Lin Liao Ting, stretched out his hand to hook his little finger and said, "Okay."
Just after hearing his answer, Lin Liaoting opened his eyes.
It was already bright outside, and it was another dream.
With a cold face on his face, he raised his hand and wiped away the wet tears with his sleeve, got up and walked out.
It's another day, and he's still alone.
