At this moment, Yu Sifeng only felt as if there were knives stirring in his chest, and his head was full of cold sweat from the pain. A strong fishy smell of sweetness in his throat was suppressed by him. There was a sense of emptiness in his heart, starting from the moment Xuanji let go of his hand.
He had said that he would not regret it anyway, but maybe he still had a little bit of hope in his heart: maybe…she wouldn’t care if she knew the truth; maybe she didn’t take it seriously, and smiled and said it’s no big deal . Later, he also thought about finding a suitable time to confess everything, whether she can accept it or not, anyway, he is such a solitary person, there is nothing to regret.
But imagination is imagination after all. Once the truth comes, he can’t imagine that he doesn’t even have the courage to look back.
Brother Liu said: Why do you suffer an empty joy?
Empty joy… really an empty joy. The apprehension, the lingering, the heart pounding – it looks like thin shadow puppets, in and out of the play, from beginning to end, he was the only one afraid.
He really wants to go back and ask her, why do you let go? Didn’t you say that you want to be together forever? She said: Sifeng, if you don’t come back, I will die! If you don’t care that I will die, just leave!
Very good, really good. In fact, it is him who will die, and it will never be her.
His chest seemed to have been hollowed out, and then filled with spicy chili, it was so hot and painful that it was about to crack. He finally couldn’t help it, and groaned softly, suffocating the blood in his mouth, and slowly slipped down.
The man who had been carrying him suddenly stopped. He was gently hugged in his arms, pillowed on the man’s knee, and the man’s hand gently touched his cheek to wipe the blood from his mouth.
Yu Sifeng heart burst with ecstasy and muttered: “Xuanji…Xuanji!”
The man sighed, his voice low, but he was a man, and he said, “She is your demon, you are too deep in the demon, child.”
It’s Master! Yu Sifeng tried his best to open his eyes, and the Grand Palace Master’s face was in front of him, and he looked at him with heartache and kindness. This look is not unfamiliar to him. When he was a child, if he did something wrong and was punished, he was beaten all over until his body was blue and purple. Master looked at him like that when he was applying medicine for him.
“Master…” He closed his eyes and whispered, “Am I going to die?”
The Grand Palace Master said softly: “Don’t worry, I will never let you die. This is the effect of the lover’s curse. To be honest, Sifeng, to be honest, you have never trusted that girl’s love from beginning to end, right? ?”
Yu Sifeng’s eyelashes trembled slightly and did not speak. The Grand Palace Master sighed: “Wrong…You can’t even bet on a desperate move like this, you can have a lonely courage. If you doubt her, why do you continue to struggle? Listen to the master’s words, forget her and throw her whole into the back of your head and don’t think about it in the future. The lover’s curse, Master will help you solve it. Master will arrange everything for you in the future, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”
Yu Sifeng only felt that the pain in his chest seemed to gradually spread to his whole body. He was burned by the fire, and then fell into the ten thousand years of ice. But his heart was always empty. Empty, everything is empty, he really has nothing.
He whispered: “Master… She said she can’t do without me, and if I leave, she will die.”
The Grand Palace Master said quietly: “Are you still lying to yourself? The person who dies will not be her, just you, a fool.”
Yu Sifeng trembled slightly, and under his long eyelashes, two big teardrops flowed out, and they fell into the palm of the Grand Palace Master’s hand, cold. This cold feeling pierced him, making him a little dazed, and for a moment seemed to think of a long-ago memory.
“Master, is it true that Li’ze Palace…is behind everything?”
Yu Sifeng pulled him out of his deep thoughts with a question. He laughed and said proudly: “Yes, everything is your master’s majestic talents. Those mortals still dream of cultivating immortality and set many foolish rules. I want to teach them how ridiculous they are!”
Yu Sifeng gasped for a few times before saying: “You…Don’t…Master! They…have nothing to hinder you…”
The Grand Palace Master said sternly: “Not in the way? The crimes committed by them are too numerous to document! All day long they boast of their righteousness, telling others what to do, accusing them at the slightest, or killing them at the heaviest! Not in the way? If not, how could your mother have died?”
Yu Sifeng body shook, looked at him inconceivably, and trembled: “You…what did you say? My mother…?”
The Grand Palace Master seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and remained silent. After a long time, the subject suddenly changed: “You don’t have to worry about the lover’s curse. The pain will only be there for a while. Master will take you back to Lize Palace immediately, and you will be well soon.”
“Master!” Yu Sifeng called.
The Grand Palace Master exposed a rare slightly awkward expression, and after a while, he said, “There are some things I didn’t tell you. Now that you are older, you should really hear them. But I have a condition, you must agree to go back to Li’ze Palace and promised that you would never see that girl.”
Yu Sifeng said sadly: “Master…I…can’t…”
The Grand Palace Master said coldly: “To this day you are still thinking about that cold-blooded and heartless girl! If she really cared about you, why doesn’t she catch up? Why did she leave you immediately after she knew you were a demon?! You could have died in front of her and she wouldn’t have felt sorry for you either! Maybe in her heart she will be glad that you, a demon, died!”
His words were actually groundless, but Yu Sifeng was heartbroken, and when he used these unpleasant words to stimulate him, it was worse than death. The backlash of Lover’s Curse seemed to be getting more and more severe. Yu Sifeng felt that his whole body was hollowed out by a sharp knife, and he was only half-awake from the pain.
The Grand Palace Master hugged him and whispered: “Good boy, go back with Master. There is no more pain.”
Yu Sifeng was anxious and in pain, unable to catch his breath and passed out.
He walked a few steps, and the Deputy Palace Master who had been standing next to him suddenly said, “Do you really want to bring him back to Li’ze Palace? That’s not how personal love is handled! His heart is not here at all! You forcibly taking him back will only add to the chaos!”
The Grand Palace Master said coldly: “It is not your business to worry about my affairs. Do you think I don’t understand what’s in your mind?” He saw that the Deputy Palace Master was lingering and sneered, and said: “Do you want to do something bad while I am not prepared?”
The Deputy Palace Master spread his hands immediately, seeming to smile wryly, “Big Brother! You are too unfeeling!”
As soon as the voice fell, the two of them suddenly became alert and jumped back at the same time. When they looked back, they saw Xuanji and Liu Yihuan chasing them from a distance. The Grand Palace Master gave a ‘tsk’, and the Deputy Palace Master smiled: “Why, are you afraid of that girl? its true, lost to her earlies…”
“Shut up.” The Grand Palace Master’s expression sank, and while speaking, the two of them had already reached them.
Xuanji saw Yu Sifeng half-dead, being held in the arms of the Grand Palace Master from a long distance, and the anger in her heart could not be suppressed, and she sternly said, “You put him down!” Shengsheng stopped.
“Don’t be impulsive.” Liu Yihuan shook her hand at her, turned to look at the Grand Palace Master, and said for a long while, “If I remember correctly, we have already said very clearly when I went to Lize Palace that day. Yu Sifeng is already not a person from Lize Palace, why would you snatch him away?”
The Grand Palace Master said indifferently, “You are not one of Sifeng’s people, why should you snatch him away?”
Liu Yi smiled and said, “You little Palace Lord, you are a good talker! Then I tell you, Yu Sifeng and this girl Chu Xuanji have already had a engagement ceremony. The Shaoyang Sect knows it from top to bottom. You have no reason to separate the young couple, right?”
Xuanji stayed in a daze and said anxiously, “Brother Liu…” When did she receive the gift of engagement?
“Xuanji, is Brother Liu right?” Liu Yihuan asked loudly, winking at her secretly. Xuanji took a breath, reacted suddenly, and nodded hurriedly: “Yes…Yes!” After all, she was still a little girl, her face flushed with shame.
The Grand Palace Master said coldly: “Engagement ceremony requires both elders to recognize it. I don’t remember having admitted it.”
Liu Yihuan exclaimed: “What kind of shit elder are you! Yu Sifeng is no longer a person from Li’ze Palace! I count as a half father, and I am the proper elder, right? I and Sect Leader Chu will decide on their matters. , What do you want to say?!”
The Grand Palace Master didn’t speak for a while, and seemed to be a little relaxed. After a while, he said, “Senior’s kindness to Sifeng, I really appreciate it.”
“I don’t want thanks for the troubles! In a word, return the person to me!” Liu Yihuan’s eyes were rounded.
The Deputy Palace Master suddenly laughed out loud, and said leisurely, “The real father hasn’t spoken yet, what is your fake father who jumped out halfway?”
Liu Yihuan looked at him with displeasure, and immediately cursed: “Fuck you! Am I talking to you, you’re not a man or a woman, what are you talking about?! What real father? Has he ever called his father?!”
The Deputy Palace Master became agitated by his scolding, and said in a deep voice, “Show some respect! He has never called you father! Marriage matters are originally the parents’ decision, without a name or part, it is equivalent to adultery!”
What he said was tantamount to scolding Xuanji, and her face instantly turned pale, with no self-confidence.
The Grand Palace Master suddenly said, “Miss Chu, thank you for your caring about Sifeng. But I don’t agree with the engagement ceremony. You also know that Sifeng is a demon, and humans and demons can’t e together. Give up earlier. , It’s good for you and him. With such a character, Sifeng won’t be worthy of you if you marry a famous disciple in the future.”
Xuanji’s lips trembled slightly and said slowly, “But he promised me…we will always be together…”
The Grand Palace Master smiled and said: “You are young and frivolous, and everyone will make mistakes. Why take these promises seriously.”
Xuanji looked at him as if she didn’t know him. She looked at him from his feet to the head, and suddenly saw a scar on his wrist. She gave a tremor and said, “You…wait! You hold your hand… show me. !”
The Great Palace Master lowered his head, saw the scar on his wrist, his face changed slightly, and finally raised his head and smiled: “Good eyesight. You have recognized it.”
Xuanji pulled out Beng Yu silently, pointed the tip of the sword at his face, and whispered: “You are Haofeng! A Palace Master actually pretends to be a disciple!”
Liu Yihuan shouted dazedly, “What?…Wait, wait! Little Xuanji! You mean he is that gluttonous bastard?!”
The Grand Palace Master said indifferently: “It’s me. I wanted to get rid of you through the Zanhua Conference. Miss Chu, your existence is a scourge, a great scourge. Both big and small things are hindering our way. But it’s a pity that you have a good spirit beast… even my original body can’t defeat him. The plan to cleanse the Fuyu Island failed. You are good! Who are you?”
Xuanji’s sword shook, and she reluctantly said, “I am nothing! Anyway…you can’t take Sifeng away!”
As soon as the words fell, she he heard Yu Sifeng groan and wake up.
He whispered: “Xuanji…” Xuanji was so surprised and happy that she quickly stepped forward, wanting to see him, but was stopped by the Deputy Palace Master, “Don’t come near! Unless you want him to die!” Xuanji swung her sword to attack. , but listened to Liu Yihuan’s stern voice, “Observe! Xuanji, don’t go over! He has a lover’s curse backlash!”
