"Little brother... do you think you will be chosen as a disciple by those major sects in three days?" The sun set and dusk came quietly, adding a nice blush to the face of the woman squatting on the ground.
Shen Ruyan's voice contained a hint of hope that he had never heard before.
Shen Zhengtian's mood after receiving the clan sticker was no longer as disheartening as when he was rejected by Shen Zhengxian, so Shen Ruyan didn't notice anything.
Knowing that Shen Yan had received the clan title and was going to participate in the sect selection ceremony held every sixty years in three days, Shen Ruyan's face put on a smile that he had never seen before. The biggest smile in that smile was... Hope.
This is a longing for the future. If Shen Yan is really chosen as a disciple by any major sect, maybe he will be able to reach the level that Shen Zhengtian was eight years ago.[
By that time, the lives of the three of them will be much easier in the future.
Shen Ruyan didn't think too much. Her thoughts were as simple as that. If her little brother could succeed and live a good life in the future, even if it cost her her life, maybe she would be happy with it.
Ana Shen's heart trembled slightly when he saw the girl's relaxed smile that he had not seen in a long time.
In his previous life, he was so confident, so arrogant and unruly. In his life, there was never such a thing as retreat or failure.
But seeing the hope hidden in Shen Ruyan's smart eyes, and the beautiful face that was only fifteen years old but already weathered, Shen Yan suddenly found that his self-confidence was somewhat shaken.
He was afraid... This emotion appeared in Shen Yan's heart for the first time, panic and fear that she had never experienced before. He was afraid that he would not be chosen as a disciple by those sects and would live up to Shen Ruyan's expectations.
"Little brother...what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Shen Ruyan's expression showed a trace of doubt, and he looked so cute and beautiful under the afterglow of the setting sun.
She reached out and found out that she had become a little rough after years of hard work in housework, but in Shen Yan's heart, it was Rouyi, the most beautiful woman in the world, who gently touched Shen Yan's forehead... The fingertips were a little warm, and Shen Yan's heart palpitated inexplicably. Suddenly blocked.
"No...sister, after three days, I will definitely be selected by the best sect in Cangyun County, for sure!" A smile appeared in front of Shen Yan, and then he took Shen Ruyan's hand and put it on his chest. , the way to do things solemnly.
"Sister, I believe you!" Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded.
Ana Shen took a deep breath, and he couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
He knew how likely he was to be selected. Not to mention those big sects, even a small third-rate sect, the chance was very small.
But he couldn't bear to tell the truth at this moment and let Shen Ruyan down. For the first time in his past life, Shen Yan lied to Shen Ruyan.
"Little brother... do you think my sister is useless? She can't do anything... she can't practice, she can't support this family!" Shen Ruyan suddenly turned his head and looked at the red clouds in the sky.
Ana Shen did not answer.
"...Really...you think so too!" For a long time, Shen Ruyan didn't hear Ana Shen's answer, and then she said, but her voice sounded unusually lonely.
If Shen Yan hadn't been behind her, Shen Ruyan felt that she would have cried.
How many times did she hide in bed and cry alone at night...but she always showed a strong look in front of her brother and father? She was just a girl, and she also wanted to be loved, understood, and loved by others. People care!
But all these are just extravagant hopes. From the moment Shen Zhengtian's cultivation was completely abolished, they were destined to be extravagant hopes.[
The evening in early spring should be warm, but Shen Ruyan felt a little chilly for no reason, which came from deep in his heart.
…
"Sister...you are the best!" Shen Ruyan's shoulders trembled, a pair of hands suddenly placed on her shoulders, and then turned her body around.
What caught his eye was Ana Shen's eyes that were as bright as stars.
"...If it weren't for you, I would have lost hope!" Shen Yan recalled that every time he failed to make any progress in his cultivation, and when he was bullied by Shen Pang and others, Shen Ruyan endured a hard day's work and smiled for him. A scene that explains and makes him happy.
"...If it weren't for you, how would I have such a complete childhood!" The corners of Shen Ruyan's mouth gradually curved, but the corners of his eyes couldn't help but sparkle.
"...It is precisely because of you that Banxian is complete and this family is complete!" Shen Yan pulled Shen Ruyan into his arms, her voice choked with sobs.
"Sister...are you tired? These years...cry, cry if you want...from now on, everything is mine!" Shen Ruyan's thin shoulders began to tremble slightly, and her face was buried deep in the The expression in Ana Shen's arms was unclear.
Ana Shen remained motionless, looking at the sunset in the distance, the light in her eyes was brighter than the sunset.
Shen Ruyan's delicate body trembled more and more... She did not cry out, but the moisture in her arms made Shen Yan understand how big the girl's mood swings were.
Everything is mine! Shen Yan gently stroked Shen Ruyan's black hair and said in his heart.
The setting sun finally fell over the distant mountains, and the two overlapping shadows gradually disappeared on the ground... Shen Ruyan finally slowly raised his head, his jade hands gently caressing Shen Yan's pale face, the corners of his eyes Jingying has long since disappeared.
"Exiled Immortal...go and rest! My sister believes that in three days, you will be proud and proud, and enter a powerful sect, letting everyone see your style!"
"Definitely!" Ana Shen nodded, his voice solemn and decisive.
Shen Ruyan suddenly smiled, and at that moment, the night seemed to bloom.
The blue long skirt rippled slightly with the breeze. Shen Ruyan walked into her room and closed the door.
Ana Shen felt disappointed.
…
"The day after tomorrow is the grand event...the sect selection! Although dad said it's all about chance, I don't think my luck is that good..." Shen Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the night sky with no moon but bright stars. , his brows knitted together tightly.
Shen Yan felt that he had never been as sad as he was now in his past life.
It's not because of myself, but because of my promise to Shen Ruyan.
If Shen Yan himself could not pass the selection process and enter the Dharma eyes of those sects, he would definitely turn around and leave.[
But it was not just that at this moment, he was not only burdened with the question of whether he could enter the sect, but also with Shen Ruyan's hopeful eyes.
"It's embarrassing... It's really embarrassing!" Ana Shen couldn't help but sighed in frustration.
"Who!?" Ana Shen was suddenly startled and almost fell down from the bed.
"Duantian... is that you?" After a moment of silence, Ana Shen asked uncertainly in her heart.
"When we were in Thunder Hall, it was you...right?" At this moment, Ana Shen had determined where the vague confidence that he had when he was in Thunder Hall came from.
It was precisely because of this confidence that he dared to act recklessly. The Heaven-Ending Sword could not speak. Shen Yan was not at the fifth level of health cultivation and could not see the soul of the Heaven-Ending Sword in his body.
Just when he gave up, a strange rhythm spread throughout his body through his Dantian. This was the rhythm of the soul of the Sky-Ending Sword trembling in his body.
Ana Shen understood the meaning contained in it. It was a feeling of blood connection.
