Chapter 171: Reunited with Da Shixiong
“Da Shixiong.”
“I’m leaving.”
Lin Qingyue held Bai Dou, lowering his head, not daring to look into his eyes.
After a long while, Ye Jingxian finally spoke. “Mn.”
There were no superfluous words, just that one sound. Lin Qingyue looked up at him slightly, feeling a little guilty and apologetic.
Although he knew that the two Da Shixiongs were different and had experienced different things, Lin Qingyue still couldn’t bear to hurt this Da Shixiong.
After some hesitation, he continued, “Rest assured, after I go back, I will assassinate Yun Jinzhou immediately. I absolutely won’t let him live. If I can’t kill him once, I’ll kill him twice. If I can’t kill him with my own power, I’ll borrow someone else’s. I definitely won’t let anything happen to Shizun and the others.”
“Have you found a way back?”
“Mn, I found it.” Lin Qingyue nodded. “There was an anomaly at the place where I arrived that day. I think that should be my opportunity to return. I came today to say goodbye to Da Shixiong.”
“I’ll see you off,” Ye Jingxian said.
His expression was calm, just as always. But Lin Qingyue, worried about his injuries, refused.
“Su Shishu said she would send me off. Da Shixiong, just recover well.”
Ye Jingxian’s hands clenched inside his sleeves. Restraining the emotions in his heart, he simply stared at him motionless. “Are you sure?”
Lin Qingyue didn’t know the answer to this question either; he was just giving it a try. However, he had an intuition that he should be able to leave.
“Pretty much.”
Bai Dou couldn’t understand the situation between the two, but it sensed that something was different from before.
It reached out toward Ye Jingxian, and seeing this, Ye Jingxian cooperatively shook its hand.
Lin Qingyue looked at the little guy, wanting to say it had recognized the wrong person, but the words were swallowed back down. He just patted Bai Dou. “Bai Dou, say goodbye to Da Shixiong.”
“Da Shixiong, take your time recovering.”
After the farewell, Lin Qingyue left with Bai Dou. Ye Jingxian watched his retreating figure, the expression on his face finally crumbling.
Su Ling appeared beside him. “Since you can’t bear to part with him, why not keep him?”
“Moreover, he might be a turning point, a hope,” Su Ling voiced her guess.
Ye Jingxian looked at her directly with a cold face for the first time, his eyes full of unquestionable resolve. “One of me is enough.”
He would fulfill his mission and would not fail the expectations of Shizun and the sect.
Su Ling was stunned and wanted to explain.
“I know, Shishu. I know it all.” Ye Jingxian looked into the distance, speaking softly, “But he doesn’t belong here, and he doesn’t belong to me.”
They had only spent two days together, but he knew. Lin Qingyue seemed difficult to talk to, but his heart was kind and soft. He seemed easy to bully, but if something truly went against his inner will, he would rather die than submit.
He wouldn’t stay, nor would he be kept. He didn’t belong to him. If he went back, they would be together—being together with him in another sense.
Sometimes, Ye Jingxian thought he was probably jealous of his other self.
Lin Qingyue waited for Su Ling in front of the city gate.
“Bai Dou, do you think it’s okay for us to leave just like this? But I don’t have any way to help them.”
He talked to Bai Dou on his own, sighing faintly, full of helplessness.
“Bai Dou, I might really miss Da Shixiong. Do you miss him?”
He couldn’t treat the things he saw in the Three Lives Mirror Ruins as real.
He told himself secretly that none of this was necessarily true.
Lin Qingyue looked back. Only after a good while did he see Su Ling appear.
Yellow sand filled the sky before the city gate. The clouds on the horizon pressed down, carrying endless melancholy and loneliness.
Just as Lin Qingyue was preparing to leave with Su Ling and Bai Dou, a sword suddenly appeared in front of them.
The arrival was still clad in black clothes like that day. Ye Jingxian landed beside Lin Qingyue.
“Shishu, let me send him. You are needed here.”
Lin Qingyue wanted to refuse, but meeting Ye Jingxian’s burning and reluctant eyes, the words were stuck in his throat. It was as if a bitter, sour, and astringent candy was stuck there, various flavors slowly moving through his throat.
At the place where they had met that day, a massive vortex of spiritual energy was currently hanging in the air. Its momentum was vast and shocking, carrying a power that could shred a person to pieces.
When Ye Jingxian arrived with Lin Qingyue, no one had approached it yet.
“Lin Shidi.” Ye Jingxian looked at him. “Can I hug you?”
Lin Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The next second, he was pulled into a familiar yet strange embrace.
Is this what Da Shixiong’s embrace will be like in the future?
Lin Qingyue was dazed. His free hand raised and paused, but after just two seconds, he placed it down and hugged the other back.
“Da Shixiong.”
“Xiao Shidi.”
Accompanied by an urgent call filled with nervous worry, Lin Qingyue and Bai Dou were pushed out. Once again, he smashed into someone’s arms.
The warm embrace carried a familiar aura. Lin Qingyue looked up to meet Ye Jingxian’s eyes, which were full of worry.
His eyes lit up, unable to suppress the joy in them. “Da Shixiong!”
Ye Jingxian, who was suddenly hugged, went stiff all over. His heart beat incessantly as if it wanted to burst out of his chest. He couldn’t control it at all; his breath hitched. In a daze, his hands subconsciously held the person even tighter.
At this moment, he wished he could just press the person into his arms, holding him like this forever, letting their breaths intertwine.
Lin Qingyue snapped back from his excitement and realized their posture. His face couldn’t help turning red.
“Cough cough! Da Shixiong, that’s enough.”
His voice was a bit small. Ye Jingxian’s movements didn’t change; he just held him, leaning down to bury his head in the crook of his neck. His exhaled breath reached Lin Qingyue’s earlobe and neck; Lin didn’t dare to move.
“Da Shixiong, calm down a bit.” He was somewhat embarrassed. “It’s unsightly if someone sees.”
“If Xiao Shidi buries his head in my chest, no one will notice.”
Who would do such a self-deceiving thing?
Lin Qingyue pushed hard against his chest, only then realizing that he was wearing the green clothes from that day. It was completely different from the Da Shixiong before—more real and more grounding.
“Wait, where’s Bai Dou?” Lin Qingyue suddenly remembered.
Bai Dou, who had been forgotten by the two, was sitting on the ground, staring at them with a face full of accusation. With both hands on its hips, the anger on its face was expressed vividly even without eyebrows.
Seeing the two hug for ages, it finally realized they had noticed it. It unleashed a torrent of noise at them. “Wuwa! Gulu gulu~~”
“Pfft—!”
Lin Qingyue couldn’t hold back his laughter. He spread his hands, very helpless. “Bai Dou, we don’t understand!”
Bai Dou was so angry its little mouth pouted, tears welling up in its eyes, ready to cry.
He had discovered that Bai Dou was much more delicate when facing him and Da Shixiong.
When it was with him or with Da Shixiong, it was usually strong and obedient.
Lin Qingyue found it funny and gave it another head pat. “Bai Dou, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of Bai Dou!”
“Xiao Shidi, where did you go? Did you encounter anything?”
Lin Qingyue’s hand paused. He looked at him, restraining his expression, and told him everything he had seen.
Only when he mentioned his jade token and the bell did he ask, “Da Shixiong, was this bell refined by you personally?”
