Chapter 86: who do you choose between me and him
Tao Jingyi held Duan Feibai's hand. There was a thin callus on his tiger's mouth, which was left by holding the sword all year round. His martial arts were completely destroyed, his meridians were reshaped, and the world only saw his glory, but they couldn't see the dedication behind him.
It took ten years of bitter silence and coldness to exchange for this invincible swordsmanship. Others may not have the patience.
Tao Jingyi gently stroked the thin calluses on his hands, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Brother Feibai, I have something to ask you."
"you say."
Tao Jingyi hesitated, became ruthless, and gritted his teeth, "Su Xiyan is your enemy. When you look at my face, do you feel a sense of shock?"
Duan Feibai was taken aback for a moment, then a gentle arc appeared on the corner of his lips, he cupped her face, and pressed a kiss on the center of her brow.
Tao Jingyi froze, staring at him with black bright eyes: "Brother Feibai, what are you doing?"
"I'm kissing your soul." His voice was soft and soft, almost blending with the night breeze, "It's just a surface, if the soul under this surface is filthy, this surface will naturally be disgusting ; If the soul under this surface is pure and kind, this surface is the icing on the cake."
Tao Jingyi muttered, "I still don't understand."
"You don't need to understand, you just need to remember that I love you, I love your soul, no matter whether you are wearing the appearance of Su Xiyan, or the appearance of a beggar on the roadside, as long as we meet, I will still love you."
Tao Jingyi was shocked: "It turns out that Brother Feibai is already so detached."
Duan Feibai heard it right, when she called "Brother Feibai", she was indeed teasing her a bit. He couldn't help reaching out and poking her forehead: "I also have a question to ask you."
"Um?"
"If Feng Linzhi hadn't practiced the "Flower God Jue", would you be with him?"
Tao Jingyi looked into his eyes and wanted to answer "No", but he couldn't say the deceitful words, so he shook his head honestly: "I don't know, because he didn't give me a chance to choose."
When she learned that he had abandoned all emotions and desires and turned into a god, she felt very sad. Maybe, she had been tempted by him, but before she knew her mind clearly, he resolutely uprooted everything.
At the beginning, I felt heartbroken, but after a long time, the wound slowly healed, and when I think about it again, I feel more regret.
Hearing this answer, Duan Feibai's eyes didn't know whether it was loss or other emotions. Because it has been expected, it is not so difficult to accept.
It was like he knew from the beginning that it was a fair competition between him and Feng Linzhi. But fate always likes to joke. He forced her to death with his own hands, and Feng Linzhi pushed her away with his own hands. It was their choice that made their love life extremely bumpy.
Everything is just self-inflicted and self-sufficient.
"Assuming that the relationship between you and me was not hostile from the beginning, assuming Feng Linzhi didn't push you away, and we pursued you at the same time, who would you choose?" Duan Feibai was still a little unwilling.
"You." The answer Tao Jingyi almost blurted out.
If she didn't dress up as Su Xiyan and met the real Duan Feibai, she would definitely like him. Because, when he was just a bunch of words, she already liked him.
"Then I still won." Duan Feibai laughed softly, raised his hand and hugged her into his arms.
The stars in the sky are chaotic, intertwined into a bright light.
Tao Jingyi leaned in Duan Feibai's arms, Duan Feibai's chest was very warm, and the night wind was cold, blowing against her cheeks, but because of being held tightly by him, Tao Jingyi not only didn't feel the cold, but felt cold. A bit hot and dry.
"Brother Feibai."
"Um."
"You used to ask me where I came from, why don't you ask me now?"
"No matter where you come from, you are my Duan Feibai's wife."
Tao Jingyi raised his head: "My hometown is far away, are you willing to go back with me? The journey is very long, maybe if you go, you will never return to the world you know."
Duan Feibai was silent for a while, and said in a warm voice: "Thousands of mountains and rivers, I will accompany you."
"No, it's farther than thousands of mountains and rivers." Tao Jingyi shook his head, frowning slightly, not knowing how to explain it to him.
"People in the world say that husbands sing and women follow, but I, Duan Feibai, wish to 'women sing husbands follow'. Wherever you want to go, I will follow you, even if it is the blue sky and the yellow spring."
Tao Jingyi's heart was warm, but he said stiffly, "Shameless, who is married to you!"
Duan Feibai kissed her on the top of the head: "You and I have been married before, before the dragon and the phoenix red candle, the word 'husband' was called by you yourself."
Tao Jingyi recalled the night when she got married in Hongfeng Villa, she stood in the candlelight and called Duan Feibai "Husband", her cheeks could not help but feel slightly warm.
"I want to hear you calling again." Duan Feibai whispered close to her ear.
"No!" Tao Jingyi shook his head like a rattle.
"lady…"
"Who is your wife!"
"Whoever agrees will be."
"Duan Feibai, you are so naive."
…
…
Tao Jingyi leaned on Duan Feibai's arms and watched the stars in the middle of the night.
There was a plum fragrance in Duan Feibai's arms, and there was a burst of warmth in his chest. In order to prevent her from catching a cold, he even took off his robe to wrap her around her.
In the middle of the night, Tao Jingyi lay in his arms and fell asleep drowsily.
Duan Feibai wrapped his robe tighter, carried her on his back, and walked slowly down the mountain.
Afraid of waking her up, he walked very lightly and slowly, and every step was very steady.
Tao Jingyi had gained weight by his side recently, and her cheeks had rounded a lot, but for a martial arts practitioner, even if she gained another fifty catties, she wouldn't feel anything on her back.
When Tao Jingyi woke up, she found herself lying on Duan Feibai's back, with Duan Feibai's robe still wrapped around her body.
The surroundings were silent, and even the sound of the wind could not be heard, and the sky was covered with starlight. With her on his back, Duan Feibai walked down the mountain step by step on Xinghui.
Tao Jingyi leaned against Duan Feibai's back, and lightly sniffed the plum fragrance on his body.
"Are you awake?" Duan Feibai was very alert, and the change in breathing rhythm could not be hidden from his ears.
"En." Tao Jingyi yawned in response. She had just woken up, her mind was still a little dazed, and Duan Feibai's body was so warm that she didn't feel like moving for a while.
"There is still some way to go, let's sleep for a while." Duan Feibai couldn't help laughing when he heard the sleepiness in her voice.
"Are you tired, let me down, I can go by myself."
"I'm not tired, just carry Tao Tao on my back like this, and I won't be tired for the rest of my life."
Tao Jingyi snorted softly: "When I get old and my legs and feet are inconvenient, you can carry me on my back."
"That's it..." Duan Feibai imagined the pale hair of the two of them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up in a happy arc, "It's also very good."
Duan Feibai sent Tao Jingyi to the door, and the night breeze blew the lantern hanging on the corridor, and a light halo fell down, covering Tao Jingyi's cheeks.
"Go to bed early, don't kick the quilt when you sleep at night." Duan Fei gave Tao Jingyi a firm look, raised his hand, and gently smoothed the messy hair on her temples.
Tao Jingyi nodded his head lightly and said "Mmm".
"I'm leaving." Duan Feibai said with a light smile.
"It's getting dark, be careful."
"Understood." Duan Feibai turned around and left along the long corridor. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard Tao Jingyi calling from behind, "Brother Feibai!"
As soon as he turned around, he saw her lifting the hem of her skirt and galloping towards her.
Duan Feibai was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed to him, stretched out her arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, tiptoed, and a slightly cool kiss was printed on her cheek.
A very shallow and soft kiss.
"Goodnight kiss." Her cheeks were a little red, her voice was low, she lowered her eyes and dared not look at him.
"Your clothes." She lowered her head and took off her outer robe, and put it on him, "Your illness is cured, don't catch a cold."
Duan Feibai leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and a slightly smiling voice sounded in her ears: "Madam's order, I dare not refuse."
***
Ever since the dead leaves on the branches fell, the weather was getting colder every day, Xia Mingyuan wrapped his clothes tightly around his body, and urged Xiao Maolu to leave quickly.
It took almost half a month to walk this way, and seeing that the clothes he brought when he went out were almost insufficient, Xia Mingyuan thought to himself, he had to go to the Tianshan School as soon as possible, and Tao Jingyi should be waiting impatiently.
But the more anxious the more useless, Xia Mingyuan found himself lost. Surrounded by wilderness, no one could be found at a glance.
He sighed, climbed off the Xiaomaolu, led it forward, and looked around as he walked, hoping to find a family.
The setting sun was sinking along the outline of the mountains, and the sky was getting later and later. After walking for a long time, he didn't see any trace of people. Xia Mingyuan couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Just as he was wandering around in a hurry, a figure caught his eyes.
The man put his hands behind his head, leaned against the tree, leaned against the trunk, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
He was a handsome young man in his twenties, wearing a purple dress that was baggy, revealing a section of fair skin on his chest.
He held a sword in his arms, the blade was three parts out of the sheath, the silvery white blade reflected the setting sun, it was not stained with blood but had a seven part murderous aura.
It's like someone who is not easy to provoke.
Xia Mingyuan hesitated, whether to ask him for directions.
If you ask, if the other party is extremely vicious, you are not rushing up to seek death; if you don't ask, he can't find a way around here for a long time, and if he doesn't leave here, he will die when he encounters wolves when the sky is completely dark. deal.
It's really not reconciled to just miss such a big living person.
Xia Mingyuan let go of the rope on the small hair stove, and approached the young man step by step. Before he could speak, the young man suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at him.
His eyes seemed to be soaked in a layer of ice, with a icy light shining through them. The moment he looked at him, a strong killing intent flashed across his eyes.
Xia Mingyuan was frightened by this killing intent, took a step back and looked at him warily.
But the young man just glanced at him, did not move, not even changed his posture, because he found that the young man dressed as a scholar in front of him had sloppy footsteps and no internal strength at all.
Seeing that the young man didn't move, Xia Mingyuan became more courageous, greeted him, showed a row of white teeth, smiled politely, and said, "Hello, may I ask, how can I get to the Tianshan School?"
The young man rolled his eyelids, glanced at him lazily, and asked, "What are you going to Tianshan School for?"
The young man's voice was hoarse, as if his voice had been worn down by something, and it sounded a bit uncomfortable.
Xia Mingyuan was really surprised, because most of the good-looking people have good-looking voices. This hoarse voice should not be the original voice of this young man.
He was on guard in his heart, and he lied casually: "I have a relative who is a disciple of Tianshan Sect, so I will join him."
The young man gave him a sideways look, and said coldly, "I don't know, get lost."
