I couldn't refuse my arch-nemesis' courtship today.

This strange and strange feeling came suddenly, which aroused Shen Shimian's usually well-hidden hostility. The red light in his eyes went out, and he managed to suppress the hostility in his heart by relying on his strong self-control, but he refused to let it go any further. Approaching the Nightmare.

Xuan Ying leaned relaxedly at the entrance of the cave, putting one hand on his forehead to prop up a pergola to watch Shen Shimian explore the way. Seeing Shen Shimian stop still, he suddenly felt some inexplicable panic. It seemed that the guy would really fly out of his field of vision like this.

He struggled for a moment, staring at the red line on his little finger, and tugged it back mysteriously, with little strength, but Shen Shimian fell back without any resistance, just as obedient as a kite.

Xuan Ying and the translucent Shen Shimian stared wide-eyed, and it took a while before he recovered his voice, and said awkwardly, "Why are you back again?"

Shen Shimian stared at Xuan Ying without saying a word, with an obvious intention to explore, and the panic feeling at that moment just disappeared without a trace, as if it was his illusion.

He has always been thoughtful, so he quickly calmed down his strangeness, and said hesitantly, "The red line... seems to restrict my range of activities, but I don't know if it's because of my body or...you, senior brother."

As he spoke, he raised his slender fingers again. One end of the red thread was tied to Xuan Ying's little finger, and the other end stretched out, bifurcated into two and tied to Shen Shimian's body and soul respectively.

Xuan Ying felt guilty and thought of the original function of the mandarin duck line, but he couldn't say it, so he could only blame it without changing his face, "It should be that the soul can't leave your body too far."

Shen Shimian nodded and apparently agreed with this guess, and then asked the most realistic question they had right now, "Brother, is there a way to leave the territory of Qingmao?"

Previously, the matter was urgent and he was too concerned about the bald mandarin duck line. Xuan Ying really didn't think about it carefully. Seeing Shen Shimian asking for his opinion, his old habits reappeared for a while, "The little junior brother of Lingxiao Pavilion will be caught by this A little trouble?"

It hasn't been a day or two since he targeted Shen Shimian, he has already gotten used to Xuan Ying's tone, and he still replied with a good temper, "Now I only have a soul body, I can't use my spiritual power, I can't use many methods, and I still need to rely on my senior brother."

It was the first time he had enjoyed such treatment after being against Shen Shimian for so many years. Shen Shimian, who was provoked in the past, mostly pretended not to hear him, and if he couldn't avoid it, he would just act coldly like a machine Treating it like a puppet, Xuan Ying found it quite new and interesting, even looking at this person's face was not so annoying anymore.

"The Green Nightmare monster is not difficult to deal with," Xuan Ying admired enough of the enemy's forbearance, "It is very possessive, and it will become angry and mad when I snatch you as its prey, and it will naturally be quiet when you are returned. .”

Shen Shimian showed a little helpless look, knowing that Xuan Ying was taking advantage of his lips, he suddenly remembered the problem that had troubled him, and couldn't help asking tentatively, "Senior Brother Xuan Ying, since the first day I entered Xiushan Courtyard, you have treated me I was hostile, but I was only five years old at the time, so I really didn't know where I offended senior brother."

When Xuan Ying was questioned, he naturally couldn't say that this beam was formed from you when you were a baby, which would damage the image of his senior brother, so he raised his chin, "You don't like it."

Shen Shimian knew that he couldn't ask the truth. When Xuan Ying rescued him, his consciousness was already blurred, and he didn't know the cause and effect of provoking the Green Nightmare. What Xuan Ying said indirectly revealed that he was the prey of the Green Nightmare. Knowing this Things are much easier to handle, "Since that's the case, can senior brother get something from my mustard bag?"

Today's Shen Shimian is too easy to talk to, he didn't argue with him even once, Xuan Ying was wary of his playing tricks, while cautiously replied, "What?"

"A simulated puppet can attract the attention of Qingmao instead of me, so that we can take the opportunity to escape."

Xuan Ying squatted down to the side of Shen Shimian's body that fell on the ground, endured the awkwardness and stretched out to grope around his waist. During the inner activities of lamenting how thin the waist was, he found the unremarkable blue mustard bag. Use your spiritual sense to rummage through it.

The simulated puppet is easy to find. After Xuan Ying took it out, the puppet turned into a human-level appearance and stood there dumbfounded. Shen Shimian was in charge of commanding, "Please, brother, drop my blood on its forehead, and it can transform into a puppet." My appearance can also carry my aura, so I can fool the Green Nightmare in a short time."

Xuan Ying resisted the instinct to choke him, and roughly grabbed the finger of Shen Shimian's body, took a drop of blood and threw it into the puppet's brow. Shi Mian's body was held onto his back, and he grabbed the puppet with one hand, opened the barrier and flew out of the cave.

Qingyan instantly sensed the aura of his lost prey, roared and rushed over, Xuan Ying shook his hands and threw the puppet to Qingyan, and then fled in the opposite direction without looking back.

Shen Shimian, a translucent soul, was behind him. Xuan Ying turned his back to him and couldn't see his expression, but at this moment, Shen Shimian's eyes were deep and dark, and he no longer had the patient and gentle appearance just now.

Finally escaping from the territory of the green nightmare monster, Xuan Ying heaved a sigh of relief and threw Shen Shimian's body on the ground in disgust. Shen Shimian was not angry, and the soul floated slowly to lie on his body.

Xuan Ying was surprised, "Do you think you can be resurrected like this?"

Shen Shimian lay down calmly and shook his head, and then under Xuan Ying's hellish eyes, his body that should have lost its vitality really stood up staggeringly, but his movements were a little stiffer.

Xuan Ying: "..." Why did he carry Shen Shimian on his back for so long just now?

As if seeing his question, Shen Shimian calmly wiped off the blood from the corner of his lips and explained, "This is just a superficial appearance. It can easily manipulate the body but cannot really use spiritual power. When we leave the secret realm, we must join the team from Xiushanyuan , if the senior brother takes my 'corpse' back, there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles, not to mention that the person who knows my whereabouts and plots the assassination is likely to be in the team, and pretending to return safely will allow him to show his flaws."

He was right, Xuan Ying had to admit that he hadn't signed up for the trip to the Ruannan Secret Realm, and suddenly appearing here with the body of Shen Shimian, who had always been difficult to deal with, would definitely arouse suspicion.

Xuan Ying accepted this explanation, and squinted at him leaning on two spirit stones and a broken flying sword bought by the roadside, "It's rare to hear you talk so much, do you want me to send a signal?"

Shen Shimian responded to his question by opening his arms and revealing the mustard bag around his waist. Xuan Ying came here privately, so of course he didn't bring a signal symbol.

Xuan Ying clicked his tongue, went up familiarly, bowed his head and groped, took out the signal symbol of Xiushanyuan and input spiritual power, the signal symbol would help his companions locate them, once used it meant it was dangerous.

While waiting for the teacher from the same school to find him, Xuan Ying sneaked a sneak peek at Shen Shimian from time to time. He was leaning against a tree with a seriously injured and weak appearance, diluting the usual indifference and arrogance. Looking back at Shen Shimian's various performances today, Xuan Ying couldn't help but realize that There is something strange - Shen Shimian, who is in a soul body, is a bit strange compared to usual.

This guy definitely has a conspiracy. As a lifelong enemy, Xuan Ying has never been afraid to speculate on the other party with the greatest malice, not to mention that Shen Shimian, who has always refused to allow anyone to approach him thousands of miles away, is willing to let himself touch him today. It's really abnormal, but he's not sure if it's the "credit" of the mandarin duck line, and he dares not ask in guilty conscience, for fear of being noticed by Shen Shimian, where will he put his face as an old enemy?

After pondering over and over again, Xuan Ying still pretended not to notice it until the Elder Dongli who led the team from Xiushanyuan hurried over.

Elder Dongli is the resident elder of Xiushan Academy. This time he was in charge of the trip to the Ruannan Secret Realm. Because there was an outstanding disciple like Shen Shimian in the team, he was always on the lookout. He arrived soon after receiving the distress call, but after he arrived The first one to see was not Shen Shimian, but Xuan Ying who shouldn't be here but was still waving at him with an innocent face, his forehead twitched.

Why is Xuan Ying here?Did he trouble Shen Shimian and hurt someone?Or did he want to grab Shen Shimian's things and force people to call for help?

Fortunately, Shen Shimian interrupted Elder Dongli's rich thoughts in time, "Elder, this disciple was seriously injured when he encountered the Green Nightmare monster. It was Senior Brother Xuan Ying who saved me."

However, the effect of these words was that Elder Dongli and the other disciples following behind him showed horrified expressions.

Elder Dongli was in a complicated mood, so he said dryly, Xuan Ying leaned over with a smile, and scratched Elder Dongli's white beard, "Grandpa Dongli, I am very close, don't be so surprised."

Dongli slapped his paw away angrily, "Are you not coming? You sneaked here again, and I will settle accounts with you when I go back."

Xuan Ying didn't care, he had such a great reputation as a big brother of Xuanjiangmen, so he wasn't afraid of it.

Elder Dongli didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and it was more important to take the injured Shen Shimian away right now. He just wanted to step forward to help Shen Shimian, but in the short time he spoke to Xuan Ying, Shen Shimian had already slowed down by himself. He walked to Xuan Ying's side and grabbed his arm, and said very calmly, "I'm injured and my spirit veins are stagnant and I can't control the sword by myself. Please, brother Xuan Ying, give me a ride."

The other disciples were even more horrified. Let Xuan Ying take you to control the sword, and I'm afraid they will throw you down halfway and smash you into meat sauce!

A junior who usually admired Shen Shimian volunteered, "Senior brother Shen, why don't you let me take you, and don't bother senior brother Xuan Ying with such a trivial matter."

Xuan Ying's arm held by Shen Shimian was numb, feeling uncomfortable, just about to refuse, Shen Shimian moved closer and whispered, "Brother, my hands are very cold."

Following these words, Shen Shimian's fingertips inadvertently brushed across his bare wrist. The cold feeling made Xuan Ying think of the other party's situation. No matter how normal his activities seemed, Shen Shimian's body was close to death In such a state, close contact with other people will definitely reveal his secrets.

Although Shen Shimian's voice was low, but he couldn't use his spiritual power to hide it, and the other people present were all immortal cultivators with sharp eyes and ears, everyone could hear clearly, and the eyes they cast on Xuan Ying became more and more complicated.

Xuan Ying: "..." I am not, I am not, let me explain.
