Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Shen Yichen and Yixuan are actually the same; they both walk their own paths, whether someone tries to stop them or no one accompanies them.

However, Yi Xuan only had the Ji family's world in his heart, while Shen Yi Chen had the Ji family and the world in his heart!

"Shen Yichen, do you wish your heart were split in two, one half in the Ji family and the other half in the martial world?"

Yi Xuan was pretending to be drunk again, or rather, he was already drunk. He had drunk a lot of Ning Menghuan's wine and was currently leaning on Shen Yichen's back.

Shen Yichen was frustrated, but he didn't want to argue with Yixuan. Yixuan had a fire of anger burning inside him, and the source of that anger might be him, because he had compromised again, just like he had compromised with the Ghost Chief Bei Meng!

With the purple-robed man Ji Xuanren present, the four of them should be able to cross the valley. Even if they couldn't, Yi Xuan wanted Shen Yichen to back down after making his move.

Because in Yixuan's eyes, Shen Yichen is the young master of the Ji family!

"Sister Huan, how much further do we have?"

"Shut your stinking mouth! Why did I have to run into such an unlucky guy like you!"

Ning Menghuan was also unhappy; her old dreams had shattered without a trace.

Without a doubt, Xiaoshan Jun appeared because of Shen Yichen.

"You two, who am I supposed to reason with?"

"If you're weak, don't blame others. When you encounter a mountain, pave a road; when you encounter a river, build a bridge. You're the young master of the Ji family, what are you afraid of? Even if the dead are resurrected, so what? The Ji family will still destroy them. If you're afraid, will they no longer have any grudge against the Ji family? Only by killing them until they have no grudge against the Ji family in their hearts will they submit to the Ji family, regardless of life or death!"

Shen Yichen and Ning Menghuan were both shocked upon hearing this!

Ning Menghuan turned around and looked at Shen Yichen and the other person.

"Yi Xuan, so you're also a member of the Ji family! You're more suited to be the young master of the Ji family than Shen Yi Chen!"

"No, no, no, Sister Huan, Yichen is more suitable. You don't understand him at all. The ruthlessness and viciousness in his heart have just been forgotten and hidden. I believe he will find them again!"

Shen Yichen remained silent for a long time!

"Yixuan, I'm really doing great right now!"

"Is it good? If it's good, why have all the women in the pamphlet disappeared? If it's good, how come even a small place like Beimeng Mountain can bully you to the point of hiding? You're upset, your path is blocked, and your feelings are hard to express. Tell me, what's so good about it? Stop deceiving yourself. If you just keep a low profile and compromise, will all those problems and conflicts disappear?"

Yi Xuan really seems like Shen Yi Chen's master or parent; these words don't sound like something a peer would say.

Shen Yichen frowned and pondered deeply. He seemed to be afraid of death, but what he was really afraid of was change. He was afraid of changing the person he had come from in Guanxing Mountain, or perhaps what Shen Yichen was really afraid of was being forgotten.

Shen Yichen suddenly stopped in his tracks, letting out a startled cry:

"Could he be Ji himself?"

Shen Yichen shuddered. He was referring, of course, to the version of himself under the Emperor Tree, the version of himself whose body was filled only with the true essence of the Holy Emperor Technique.

"Hey, do you remember what you were like when you were little? Do you remember who I am?"

Yi Xuan hugged him very tightly, her face almost touching Shen Yi Chen's.

"Stop flirting, you two! If we can't get out of the mountains before sunset, we'll be in trouble!"

Ning Menghuan looked at Shen Yichen and the other person, feeling something was off. She got goosebumps all over, shook her head, and sighed inwardly.

Am I really getting old? I understand young people less and less!

Shen Yichen did not respond and continued walking forward. His mind was in turmoil. He planned to find an opportunity to go back to the Emperor Tree for another look.

"Yixuan, promise me one thing!"

"Needless to say, I won't agree. He's doomed. His burial place will be in Luowu Ancient City, and it's going to be shown to the Lord of Luowu Ancient City!"

Before Shen Yichen could speak, Yixuan silenced him with a kiss, guessing that Shen Yichen was going to plead for Ji Xuanren.

Aren't you afraid he'll kill you right now?

"Hmph, do you think he's Ji Xuanfeng? Let me tell you the truth, since I entered the martial world, the only person who could kill me is Ji Xuanfeng, but he has the strength, not the courage!"

"With the Heavenly Jade in your hand?"

"Hey, once you remember who I am, you'll understand everything!"

Shen Yichen became more and more frightened. If Yixuan really wanted to deal with him, wouldn't he be able to die at any moment?

"Yi Xuan, now that we've arrived at Luowu Ancient City, shouldn't we part ways?"

"Oh, you're quite considerate of your subordinates, even breaking with me for him. Don't worry, it wasn't my men who killed him. Let me tell you a secret: the Ji family actually has ghosts, five of them! I heard that the five ghosts of the Ji family have also come to Yanquan!"

Shen Yichen obviously didn't understand, but the purple-robed man, Ji Xuanren, suddenly appeared and blocked Shen Yichen and Ji Xuanren's path.

Shen Yichen was startled.

Ji Xuanren wrote on the ground:

"Is this true?"

"Five ghosts snatch the soul, senior, you'd better watch yourself! Your death is the key for the Ji family to open the ancient city of Luowu. I think you should understand that even in death you are honorable and have no regrets. For the sake of your young master, you know what to do, right?"

Shen Yichen tried to put Yixuan down, and even loosened his grip, but Yixuan wouldn't let go, clinging to his neck and refusing to let go.

"Hey, you three members of the Ji family, why don't we split up? I don't want to spend the night in the mountains!"

Ning Menghuan was really annoyed!

"Let's discuss your matter after we leave Beimeng Mountain, okay?"

Shen Yichen looked at Ji Xuanren, the purple-robed man with a solemn expression, and didn't know what to say.

He really didn't know Ji Xuanren well, and didn't even know why Ji Xuanren would protect him and be so loyal to him, but this loyalty was really inexplicable.

The man in purple, Ji Xuanren, left, leaving behind one sentence:

"You can't hurt him, that's my bottom line!"

Shen Yichen carried Yixuan on his back to chase after Ning Menghuan.

"He seems so confident he won't die, what bottom line? Pah! Does he even deserve that?"

"Hey, Yixuan, you're really suited to be the young master of the Ji family, or even the head of the Ji family! I think you'd be perfect for that!"

"Young Master, I'm your little follower, and I'm doing everything according to your wishes!"

"I……"

Shen Yichen chose to keep quiet. He had to get rid of Yixuan, and he did it in a subtle and reasonable way.

Shen Yichen finally understood that Yixuan, Ji Xuanyan, and Jiutian Xuannv were really similar; they were the same kind of people, and there would always be a moment when they sent chills down one's spine.

Shen Yichen and his two companions traversed countless ridges and deep valleys in the Northern Meng Mountains, where desolate graves were everywhere.

As the sunset painted the evening glow red, the three stood on a solitary cliff, admiring the dreamlike sunset together.

"Sister Huan, you still need to stick to the right path from now on!"

"Ouch, ouch..."

Ning Menghuan grabbed Shen Yichen's ear!

"Say it again, am I not on the right path?"

"Yes, yes, yes, let go first!"

"You should learn from Yixuan. Think more and sweat less when you speak and act. Look at Yixuan, he didn't break a sweat. How many women have you slept with? Your body is so weak. You're drenched in sweat after just a few steps!"

Yixuan laughed so hard he bent over.

"Sister Huan, there are more than a dozen women in his booklet!"

Is this the one?

Ning Menghuan actually pulled out a booklet, and it was the second edition.

Yixuan snatched it away and began to look through it carefully, his smile gradually fading.

"Damn it, Sister Huan, you're going to kill me!"

"Ouch, Sister Huan, be gentle, be gentle!"

"Say it again!"

"Sister Huan, I was wrong. You were doing it for my own good. I was wrong!"

"What good am I doing for you?"

"You did it for me, for me..."

Shen Yichen struggled for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.

"Silly boy, a man can be hurt by love, but he can't like another man. Don't you think you and Yixuan are disgusting? I've had goosebumps all the way here. Let Yixuan see the woman you like, and your relationship will naturally break down!"

Shen Yichen's heart aches!

"Damn it, I died even more unjustly than the loyal souls of Bei Mengshan!"

"Sister Huan, I was wrong, please let go!"

"Young Master, so you entered the martial world just to seduce women? You should have said so earlier! I would have supported you wholeheartedly. You slept with one, and I killed one. I guaranteed to make you happy, and no outsiders would know you were a womanizer who abandoned her after starting a relationship!"

Ning Menghuan released her grip and pointed at Yi Xuan, saying in shock:

"You...you haven't really fallen in love with Shen Yichen, have you?"

Shen Yichen lay down on the ground, letting out a silent sigh:

"Hey!"
