Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"Take them back?" Li Lun's voice had a barely perceptible tremor.

"Yes." Nanzhi affirmed, "Take them back to the Great Wilderness."

Li Lun suddenly asked: "Don't you hate me?"

Whether he broke the Yunguang Sword or planned to kill Bai Jiu, he thought Shen Nanzhi would hate him.

Nanzhi's voice dropped. "I can probably guess why you broke Xiaozhuo's Cloud Light Sword. I don't agree with you. I wouldn't use such extreme means. Similarly, I don't want Zhao Yuanzhou to die."

"It's hard to have both in this world, and looking back is full of regrets."

Shen Nanzhi stood in his shoes and tried her best to understand him?

Looking at the woman sitting upright beside him, with eyes full of compassion and watery light gazing at Tiandu City under the astronomical observatory, Li Lun raised his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he still placed his hand on hers.

Sensing the dry warmth covering his hands, Nanzhi looked at Li Lun.

"I never believe in fate, nor do I believe in reason. I only believe in the path ahead in my heart." Li Lun said, "Destiny is nothing. If you don't want it, then fight it and stop it with all your might."

Nanzhi felt complicated, but she still said, "But you can't do anything you want, and you can't hurt others."

"You don't like it." Li Lun didn't understand, but still said: "Then I won't hurt them again."

His true form is an ancient locust tree. Unlike Zhu Yan, who is a white ape and can better understand human emotions, he is a tree and has no heart. In addition, he never likes the human world, so naturally he does not understand the more special emotions of humans.

Maybe sometimes you can feel it, but you don’t understand what this emotion is called.

As a great demon, he could easily sense happiness, anger, irritation, the pain of being betrayed, rage, and sadness, but he did not understand the meaning of his heart beating when he was excited.

Why does he value Shen Nanzhi and want her to stay by his side?

His special feelings for Shen Nanzhi are enough to make him retreat from all bottom lines and compromise everything for her.

Now, he understands.

That kind of ignorant joy that rose from the bottom of his heart was mixed with a sour feeling. All his joys and sorrows depended on Shen Nanzhi.

……

Demon Hunting Department.

Seeing Li Lun following Nanzhi back to the Monster Hunting Division, Wen Xiao stepped forward and asked Nanzhi, "Did you encounter any danger?"

Nanzhi shook her head: "No."

Zhuo Yichen is in a coma.

Bai Jiu was busy making medicine for three wounded soldiers by himself and was too busy to handle everything else, so Nanzhi went to help.

Bai Jiu took the freshly prepared medicine to deliver to Zhuo Yichen. He originally wanted Nanzhi to go, but after delivering the medicine he had to take Zhuo Yichen's pulse again, so he could only give Pei Sijing and Yinglei's medicine to Nanzhi.

There are many ancient books left by the Bingyi tribe in the collection library. Wen Xiao is looking for ways to repair the Yunguang Sword.

Because of the previous evil spirit, Zhu Yan looked after Zhuo Yichen in his room and took the time to recover his own demonic power.

He handed the medicine to Pei Sijing and watched her drink it, then handed her a candied fruit. Pei Sijing took it and felt warm in her heart.

Nanzhi handed another bowl of medicine to Yinglei.

Sitting on a small stool, she watched Yinglei on the bed finish drinking the medicine. She took out a piece of candied fruit and handed it to him. Yinglei took it with a smile and put it in his mouth.

"Are you feeling better?" Nanzhi asked.

Yinglei's injury last night was indeed scary.

"Hey, I'm okay!" Ying Lei scratched his hair embarrassedly, "Thank you for taking care of me, Nanzhi."

As he spoke, he took off a ball of hair from his braid and handed it to Nanzhi: "I don't have anything valuable on me. This... this is what I value most. It was braided for me by my grandfather."

Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand: "It's so valuable, I can't accept it."

"But I have nothing to thank you for." Seeing that she didn't accept it, Ying Lei lowered his head in disappointment.

Nanzhi said, "Yinglei, there's no need to express gratitude for our relationship. We, the demon-hunting team, rely on each other. Now I bring you medicine, and in the future you will bring me medicine..."

Ying Lei blinked and suddenly became anxious: "Don't talk nonsense! You won't keep drinking bitter medicine. Xiao Jiu is a skilled doctor and will definitely find a way to make up for the loss you have suffered!"

"Yeah." Nanzhi nodded with a smile.

She took the ball of fur from Yinglei's hand and said, "I'll tie it back together for you. The love that Grandpa gave me cannot be lost in the slightest."

"it is good."

Yinglei turned his back while sitting on the bed and felt a pair of hands gently lifting up the braid on the back of his head and tying the hair back into place.

……

Zhuo Yichen was in a coma for a day and a night.

Everyone was at a loss. They knew nothing about Bingyi and the Yunguang Sword, and had no idea how to repair the Yunguang Sword.

All members of the demon hunting team gathered in Zhuo Yichen's room to discuss solutions.

Bai Jiu suddenly remembered something. He suppressed the fear in his heart and looked at Li Lun who was leaning against the pillar: "Didn't you say that Xiao Zhuo Ge wouldn't die? Do you mean to let Xiao Zhuo Ge lie half-dead on the bed like a living dead?"

Li Lun looked at Bai Jiu with indifferent eyes.

Facing everyone's focused gazes on him, he, who wasn't sitting with the demon hunting team, told them, "The five-colored stone can repair Zhuo Yichen's Cloud Light Sword."

He planned to listen to Nanzhi.

He had previously broken the Yunguang Sword in order to prevent Zhuo Yichen from killing Zhu Yan, and he also wanted Zhuo Yichen to be turned into a demon by the demon blood in the five-colored stone.

After turning into a demon, Zhuo Yichen naturally would not kill Zhu Yan again.

But now, he will not let Zhuo Yichen turn into a demon. After repairing the Yunguan Sword with the five-colored stones, if Zhuo Yichen wants to kill Zhu Yan again, he will stop him.

Hearing that there was a way, and a definite way at that, Pei Sijing looked at Li Lun and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier if there was a way?"

She suspected a conspiracy.

Li Lun's expression was indifferent: "You didn't ask me."

He looked as if he didn't believe it, which made everyone silent for a moment.

At the very beginning, Li Lun said that Xiao Zhuo could not die, and it was they who lost their composure. They have always ignored the deeper meaning of Li Lun's words.

"Where is the five-colored stone?" Wen Xiao asked.

Before Li Lun could answer, everyone's expressions changed as they heard a sound like boiling water coming from the Demon Hunting Bureau.

In the indoor pool of the Monster Hunting Bureau, a five-colored stone with strange colors in the sunlight rises from the pavilions and towers in the pool.

"Is this... a five-colored stone?" Nanzhi was unsure.

The knowledgeable Zhu Yan confirmed: "It is a five-colored stone."

"It turns out that the Five-Colored Stone is in the Demon Hunting Bureau. Lord Xiao Zhuo can be saved!" Ying Lei was happy and raised his hand to high-five Nanzhi.

"Great!" Wen Xiao ran over and looked at the five-colored stone in front of him, overjoyed. "Xiao Zhuo, he's saved."

She turned to look at Zhu Yan and Li Lun: "How can we use it to repair the Cloud Light Sword?"

As soon as Wen Xiao finished speaking, the five-colored stone seemed to sense something and suddenly vibrated restlessly.

Looking at the five-colored stone that was shaking, as if something wanted to rush out from inside, Nanzhi felt a sudden unknown emotion in his heart.

Before she could think about it, the five-colored stone suddenly shattered.

Then a drop of red blood flew into Zhuo Yichen's room and landed between his eyebrows.

In an instant, complex ice-blue demonic patterns spread from his fair neck.
