After the war, collective injuries were recuperated.

During these days, people from several major fairy mountains not only did not mean to leave, but more and more important figures from the fairy world who were not often born came one after another and gathered to stay.

Taia people, from the final panic to the current vigilance.

On a peaceful night, the fifth elder Hua Qin quietly rushed back to Taia with his junior disciples like Ru Hongzhuang.

A thousand sounds made a sensation in the fairy world.

And when it was quiet before the storm, a fairy girl who had no sense of crisis took advantage of the night to harm countless immortal beasts with a shred of silk.

For a time, the number of fairy beasts on Changliu Xianshan disappeared at a speed like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Finally one day, this incident alarmed Yuan Linuo. Yuan Linuo casually mentioned it in front of Chonghua. Chonghua was silent for a moment and said: There may be a divine beast living in Changliu Xianshan.

Yuan Linuo was overjoyed and hurriedly asked what kind of divine beast it might be.

Chonghua's mouth trembled and he replied: Taotie.

Yuan Linuo was silent.

***

It's night.

Extremely quiet.

Lu Ran, wearing a black robe, knocked on Qianyin's door.

As soon as the door opened, Qianyin's face had not yet been wiped clean. Seeing that it was Lu Ran, she was shocked and smiled with the embarrassment of being caught doing bad things. She wiped away the oily lips without any trace, and looked at Qianxue, who was eating in the room with a big chunk of food in the room, and suddenly she heard the sound of the bowls in the room colliding.

Then he smiled at Lu Ran and said, "It's so late, what's wrong with Master Lu? If he was looking for my master, he would be next door."

Compared to the way he looked when he first met him, Qianyin felt that he had lost a lot of weight. His dark circles seemed to have dizzy too much black ink, and he was so haggard.

"The smell of meat in your room is so fragrant." As soon as Lu Ran spoke, the sound of Qianxue falling to the ground sounded in the room. Qianyin was calm and smiled without any trace: "Maybe the moonlight is so beautiful that it made Chief Lu have hallucinations. The smell of flowers is so fragrant, how can the smell of meat come from?"

Lu Ran was as calm as usual, with a gentle and just smile that did not give people a sense of distantness or a sense of intimacy.

After he smiled, he lowered his voice: "I'm here to find you."

"ah?"

His eyes were calm, but his lips were full of bitterness: "Things about Chihuo." He looked at her tightly: "I want to see her."

"I promised my master that I will no longer interact with the demons..."

"I love her."

Qianyin suddenly stared at him, and he smiled slightly, like the dead leaves swept away in the autumn wind, and was covered in sadness: "I won't make you embarrassed, but please tell her this sentence next time I see her again. Tell her that I have actually always loved her, I have loved her three thousand years ago, and I have thought of her three thousand years ago, and I have never stopped missing her lovesickness."

He turned around and wanted to leave, and Qianyin bent her lips and laughed sarcastically: "You forgot that she has been killed by you with your own hands."

Lu Ran paused and when he stepped on his steps again, his back seemed to be aging in an instant, as if he was dead as a rotten wood.

Qianyin was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Actually, even if you don't kill her, she won't be able to live long."

The figure in front of him trembled suddenly as if he was frightened, and suddenly turned around, but his eyes were covered with bloodshot: "What did you... say?"

Qianyin opened her body sideways, and the forehead made of pearls and jade on her forehead shone with a moist look under the light. She smiled innocently and brightly as usual: "It's for Sister Chihuo's business, Master Lu might as well come in and talk about it."

Lu Ran looked at Chonghua's room and Qianyin said, "My master went to Wenchi to heal his wounds and would not come back at night."

He nodded, thanked him, and walked in.

At some point, hot tea had been set on the table, and Qianxue was obediently lying on the bed. After Lu Ran came in, it raised its eyelids and closed its eyes and pretended to sleep.

Qianyin poured him a cup of tea and said, "Master doesn't allow me to drink tea at night, but I always feel that when I savor tea in the quiet night, it will accumulate dust in my heart for a day, so I drink it secretly. This is the only one here that can entertain you."

Lu Ran chuckled: "It's a strange hobby."

"Actually, I didn't like it a long time ago. It was just that I was too bored when I stayed in the Jiule Palace. One night I cooked tea on a whim. The fragrance of tea attracted my master. Although I scolded me, I was very happy to see him. So I cooked it every night, and it has become a habit." Qianyin took a small sip, swallowed it in her throat for a moment, and smiled: "But now my master is used to cooking tea at night, so I don't bother to scold me. It's boring to cook it alone, but it's been put on some time recently."

The fragrance of tea lingered around the two of them. Lu Ran was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Why do you have to?"

"But I just think of him, even if he is by my side." Qianyin smiled, with no impurities in her smile, which even made Lu Ran suddenly think that he had guessed wrong.

However, she said: "Just like Sister Chihuo always thinks of you."

Lu Ran was silent and drank tea.

Unexpected pain.

Qianyin said, "When I was in the Demon Clan, Sister Chihuo told me that she was thinking of you all the time. She said that she only wanted to hear your answer and tell the truth in her life." She smiled and said, "But I think she would be happy if she heard what you said just now."

Lu Ran filled the tea and leaned over to his mouth, allowing the bitterness to spread between his lips and tongue.

Qianyin said again: "She told me that she had been put into the Soul-Devouring Pill and there would be no more days to come. I think that she would come to see you for the last time with the determination to die."

Seeing that his expression was different, when he heard this, his finger bones holding the teacup were white and trembling faintly, as if they were angry, sad and disappointed. Qianyin thought about it and guessed a few points.

When Chihuo kept silent about the Soul-Devouring Pill, it must be because the person who gave the medicine was the person who was extremely important in his heart in front of him.

The Soul-Devouring Pill is one of the most poisonous poisons in the fairy world. Once you take this medicine, the medicinal properties will be like maggots attached to bones, eroding the soul bit by bit until there is no left.

If you have a high level of cultivation, it will be fine if you have to survive under this Soul-Devouring Pill for hundreds of years. If you have low level of cultivation, it is not uncommon for your soul to be eaten up within a few days.

In fact, what she didn't know was that Chihuo seemed a little dead back then, because Mo Zixiu had put a lot of effort into using many spiritual treasures in heaven and earth to barely suppress the medicinal properties of the Soul-Devouring Pill, allowing Chihuo to live safely for three thousand years. However, the Soul-Devouring Pill has long been integrated into the bloodline and cannot be eradicated, and it has only gradually recovered its medicinal properties in recent years.

She asked, "Forgive me, I'll ask you, why did you expel her from the sect back then?"

"Because of my master."

"Your master? Changliu Immortal Lord?"

Lu Ran never thought that he would sit opposite a junior, talking about the past in the fragrance of tea.

The girl opposite always smiled so innocently, but from that smile, he saw a trace of expectation and helplessness for the future.
