Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The waning moon sinks into the water and becomes broken in the water, while the sorrow lingers in my heart.

The night is as cold as water!

Sima Lifeng stood beside a deep pool, looking at the waning moon in the water. He was looking at the past, thinking about the present, and looking forward to the future.

For nearly a hundred years, the love between him and Han Ningshuang was like the waning moon in the water, close at hand and clearly visible, yet actually far away, unreal and unreal!

Sima Lifeng has been living a drunken and dreaming life for half his life. What he hoped for was that his love would come true and what he wanted was not to end up living alone in the Cang Yun Sect. Now it seems that all of them have come true!

The love had a result - Han Ruoya, Sima Lifeng no longer had to live out his life alone because he had a daughter, Han Ruoya.

But this is not the result Sima Lifeng wanted. This seems to be the best result. This is what his master exchanged for his life. If his master had not gone to Yanquan, Sima Lifeng’s lifelong pursuit would probably be just a dream!

"Master, I thank you, but this is not the result I want. I want to fight for it again!"

Sima Lifeng sat by the pond, he was unwilling to give up. Han Ningshuang was still there, and the love in his heart was still there, just like the waning moon in the water, although it was out of reach, it still existed.

Sima Lifeng slowly stretched out his hand and touched the waning moon in the water. Han Ningshuang came to Yingzhou, and Sima Lifeng was thinking about how to keep her.

In the pavilion deep in the courtyard, A-mei and Ling'er stood in front of the window, seemingly admiring the moon, but actually feeling sad.

Lao Cang left. He left on his own initiative. He didn't want to make Ling'er embarrassed. His identity as a person from the Demon Realm was exposed. Lao Cang knew that he could no longer travel with them. The Demon Realm was not the same as the Demon Sect. He was an outlier in the eyes of the world.

"Sister, are you thinking about Brother Chen?"

Banmian Ling'er looked at Sima Lifeng who was squatting down with tears in his eyes. Her heart was beating, but she couldn't tell what that feeling was!

"Ling'er, I was thinking about Lao Cang and that hexagram. Sima Lifeng's hexagram has already appeared. It's the two of us next!"

A'mei felt very heavy, really very heavy, even heavier than when Shen Yichen fell into Hailing Lake!

"Didn't he say that our fate would change because of Brother Chen?"

Ah Mei was silent and thought for a long time, then sighed:

"Someone once told me that the art of heaven's secrets cannot change fate. I never believed it, but look at Sima Lifeng. His fate was determined decades ago, and my hexagram is the same as his!"

Ah Mei felt powerless. Sima Lifeng's deep affection would eventually turn into ruthlessness. Deep affection and ruthlessness are both empty! What about her? Will ruthlessness eventually turn into deep affection? Will deep affection and ruthlessness eventually turn into emptiness?

"Sister, you're asking for too much. We only ask for one of the ending and the process!"

Banmian Ling'er looked at the waning moon and light clouds with deep eyes. Perhaps she herself didn't even know what she was thinking.

A-mei was startled when she heard this and said softly:

"What about you, Ling'er? What are you asking for?"

"I will accompany Brother Chen for a while. I am not qualified to be with him. I just want him to accompany me!"

This is the true thought of Banmian Ling'er. Her ending has been determined, which is to sit alone in Lingchenju in the ancient capital of Mingxiu. Ling'er just wants to have some past that she can reminisce about when she sits alone in Lingchenju.

A-mei murmured to herself:

"What should I pray for? I prayed for love in my heart before, and now I have love. Is there anything wrong with the result of my prayer for love?"

"Senior Sima is also seeking results, but everything has its cause and effect. Not everyone is qualified to seek results!"

After Banmian Ling'er finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the bed. She ignored A-mei's surprise.

Ah Mei looked at Ling Er who was about to lie down and said softly:

"Ling'er, Lao Cang is gone, why didn't you react at all? He took good care of you all the way!"

"Humph, he is not what I want. What do you think Brother Chen wants? Is it me?"

"There is a Lingchen Residence on Guanxing Mountain. Was your marriage destined in your previous life?"

Banmian Ling'er blushed, turned her head, closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but how could she sleep?

Ling'er was actually very sad inside. In just a quick meeting, Shen Yichen didn't even have her in his eyes. Ling'er didn't blame Shen Yichen. Every woman around Shen Yichen was prettier than her. What's more, she didn't look like a human being at all!

A-mei looked at Ling'er. She was very worried about Ling'er's safety, not only because of the God and Demon Sect, but also Lao Cang!

A'mei couldn't understand why people from the demon world would hide in the Mingmo Sect and be interested in Ling'er!

Ah Mei didn't know that Ling'er's other half was the Holy Bones of the Demon Emperor, she only knew that it was half a skeleton.

A-mei thought for a long time and sighed inwardly:

"Maybe I shouldn't have brought you to Yingzhou!"

The place where several people were was a deserted house. At this time, the bad chess player was sitting in a pavilion on the top of a rockery next to a deep pool, playing chess alone, but he only played one chess piece, because his heart was all on Sima Lifeng.

The lousy chess player really regretted that he should not have given Sima Lifeng to his senior brother. However, the lousy chess player knew his senior brother's intention. His senior brother did not want Xingluo Pavilion to have a successor because the secret of Cangyun Sect was in Xingluo Pavilion. Without a successor to Xingluo Pavilion, the secret of Cangyun Sect would disappear forever, and then the calamity of Cangyun Sect in the founder's will would no longer exist!

The bad chess player looked at Sima Lifeng's sad expression and sighed in his heart:

"Brother, you already knew that Han Ningshuang came for the secret of Cangyun Sect, but you just couldn't bear to leave Li Feng. I know you treat him as your own child, but is it really right for you to do this? Is living with a broken heart really better than dying?"

The Nine Peaks of Cang Yun have the responsibility to protect the Xing Luo Pavilion, and the Xing Luo Pavilion has the mission to inherit the secrets of the Cang Yun Sect!

The person who cracked the secret of Cang Yun Sect was probably Sima Lifeng, because Sima Lifeng entered Cang Yun Sect from Xingluo Pavilion, but Sima Lifeng himself didn't know this!

There is a disagreement between the rotten chess player and his senior brother. The rotten chess player wants to crack the secret of Cang Xuan Sect, and even if he cannot crack it, he wants to pass it on. But his senior brother wants the secret of Cang Yun Sect to completely disappear in the time!

Therefore, no one in the Cang Yun Sect really knows the secret of the Cang Yun Sect!

The bad chess player looked at the chess piece on the chessboard and pondered what he should do next. Sima Lifeng was also a chess piece, a chess piece that could be black or white.

When Sima Lifeng and his master made the appointment in the Cang Yun Sect, there were actually bad chess players involved as well, but Sima Lifeng just didn't know it!

The bad chess player's senior brother traveled to Yanquan to cut off the thoughts in the God and Demon Sect's heart and convey a message that no one in the Cang Yun Sect knew the secret of the Cang Yun Sect!

Then Han Ningshuang would let Sima Lifeng go. The bad chess player thought at that time that it was his senior brother's wishful thinking, but his senior brother insisted on doing it. Now it seems that his senior brother was really wrong!

"Uncle Master, are you worried?"

Sima Lifeng sat opposite the chessboard, the tears on his face not yet dried.

"Li Feng, we haven't seen each other for decades, right?"

The bad chess player handed a box of chess pieces to Sima Lifeng.

"Uncle Master won't see me. Every time I go back to Cang Yun Sect, I play chess with you. But you won't let me enter Xingluo Pavilion, and you won't leave Xingluo Pavilion either!"

The bad chess player smiled slightly when he heard this!

"Didn't your master tell you that your uncle is also a wine lover? I didn't let you enter Xingluo Pavilion because I didn't want you to be contaminated by worldly wine!"

What the bad chess player said was true, but of course his reason was false.

Sima Lifeng made his move!

"When I stop drinking, I will play chess with my uncle in Xingluo Pavilion every day. This day won't be long!"

"The Daoyuan Sect has surrounded the Cangyun Sect. Will the Xingluo Pavilion still be there when we return?"

Sima Lifeng was shocked when he heard this! He really didn't know about this.

"Then, then why don't we go back to Cang Yun Sect?"

After Sima Lifeng asked this question, he realized that there would not be much point in them going back. His uncle must have other plans. If the Daoyuan Sect really wanted to destroy the Cangyun Sect, their going back would only cause more casualties!

"The Daoyuan Sect now regards Yunxu Mountain as its leader. I'm afraid the Cangyun Sect is in great danger!"

"You, what did you say? How come I didn't know anything about the change of the Daoyuan Sect's leader?"

"No one in Yingzhou knows about this. I only received the news not long ago!"

The bad chess player and Sima Lifeng were playing chess, and their hearts were heavy!

"Uncle Master, what is the secret of the Cangyun Sect? Is Daoyuan Sect also for this secret?"

"I don't know. Daoyuan Sect joined the Ji family in Zhongzhou. What is their purpose? I don't understand it even more!"

Sima Lifeng looked up at the bad chess player, feeling shocked and a little confused!

"Don't look at me like that. The Yingzhou chess game was planned by the Ji family. As for the secrets of the Cangyun Sect, I am just the inheritor. I really don't know what they are!"

Sima Lifeng frowned, made a move, and said softly:

"Uncle Master, please explain clearly!"

"I can't tell you that you still have unfulfilled feelings in your heart. When you made a covenant with your master, I promised your master that if you still have unfulfilled feelings in your heart, you will be responsible for protecting the Cang Yun Sect. If you don't have feelings in your heart, you will inherit the secrets of the Cang Yun Sect!"

Sima Lifeng's hand stopped on the chessboard again and he said coldly:

"Han Ningshuang fell in love with me for a purpose. She came here for the secret of Cang Yun Sect, right?"

Upon hearing this, the bad chess player shook his head and sighed:

"Fool, you are really confused once you enter the game. With Ruoya, it means that Han Ningshuang's love for you is real. It doesn't matter whether there is a purpose or not. It's just that something must have happened to Han Ningshuang!"

The bad chess player actually really hoped that Han Ningshuang's love was fake, so that after his senior brother's death, Sima Lifeng might forget about love. But now that Han Ruoya exists, Sima Lifeng is destined to never be a person who forgets love in this life!

The lousy chess player felt really sad. The secret of Cang Yun Sect might really disappear forever. The Xing Luo Pavilion had been passed down for generations, but in the end it was all in vain!

"Uncle Master, you lost. Please help me take care of Ruoya. I will find a way to save her. I..."

Sima Lifeng didn't continue talking. He still wanted to find Han Ningshuang. He wanted to know the answer!

Sima Lifeng returned to Han Ruoya's room, where Han Ruoya was still in a coma.

Li Hongxu with a crooked mouth was in the room. He was drinking. There was an inexplicable fear in his heart that could not be shaken off. He came to seek results, but he was afraid of the unknown results!

Sima Lifeng looked at the drunk Li Hongxu, shook his head helplessly, walked to the bed, and gently stroked Han Ruoya's forehead.

Sima Lifeng smiled. This was his daughter. Han Ruoya looked like Han Ningshuang, but her personality was very much like him when he was young!

"Ruoya, when daddy is done with his work, he will take you back to Cangyun Sect. It's really beautiful there!"

Sima Lifeng decided to take Han Ruoya back to Cangyun Sect. No matter what Han Ningshuang's answer was, he had no intention of letting go. He wanted to spend the rest of his life protecting this daughter whom he had not seen for twenty years!

Sima Lifeng left alone without telling A-mei and Ling'er.

In Jianying City, everyone has their own things to do and everyone wants their own results. Sima Lifeng doesn't want A'mei and Ling'er to be involved in the affairs of the Gods and Demons Sect.

Li Hongxu knew that Sima Lifeng had left, but he didn't say a word. He just looked at Han Ruoya who was unconscious on the bed. She was the future princess of Cangyun Sect, a princess who was high above everyone else!

Li Hongxu walked out of the room and flew onto A'mei's roof. Li Hongxu wanted to wait for his elder sister, who would take him to find the princess in his heart!

The bad chess player came to Han Ruoya's room. The answer to Cangyun Sect was in Sima Lifeng's heart. He wanted to protect this only variable for Sima Lifeng!

"Li Feng, you don't have much time left!"

The waning moon disappears into the light clouds, and the sparse shadows are slanted and disorderly!

In a forest near the courtyard where A-mei lived, Lao Cang was drinking alone. Of course, he would not really leave Banmian Ling'er. That was his hope, and he was also a guardian.

In fact, Lao Cang didn’t know what the result he was looking for would be!

"You must protect Miss Ling'er in secret, and there must be no mistakes!"

After Lao Cang finished speaking, he left. He thought for a long time and decided to go look for the copper plate with the secret of heaven. He wanted to know the result. To be more precise, he wanted to know the answer, an answer that had troubled him for hundreds of years!

There seems to be a shadow in the shadow of the tree, a shadow that is uncertain whether it is real or not!
