Maybe Qin Jiangli's eyes were too deep, or maybe Ling Xiao was too focused when he looked at the stars all over the sky. In short, when Ling Xiao looked at Qin Jiangli, he was also stunned for a moment.

A piece of rabbit meat exuding a strong fragrance was on his lips, and in front of him was a young man with eyes as deep as a pool of water.

Time stopped.

Ling Xiao looked straight into Qin Jiangli's eyes just like that.

The eyes of this young man are clearly a deep pool, with a bottomless whirlpool inside.As soon as he bumped into the vortex, he was involuntarily attracted by the vortex, following the power in his eyes, before he had time to react, he suddenly sank.

But the vortex wrapped around his body, but it was hot and soft, as if a person took out the softest piece of soft flesh in his heart, and wrapped him up.

Ling Xiao didn't move, just stared at him blankly.

For a moment, neither of them moved.

Snowflakes were blown by the new wind around them, and the horse next to them was scratching their hooves, but these two people stood still in the wind for a while.

Ling Xiao gradually heard his own heartbeat, and it sounded firmly in his ears, with a little noise.

……

It was Qin Jiangli who reacted first.

The sides of his face and neck were a little red, and he raised his hand to condense a barrier with spiritual power, blocking the wind from outside the barrier.His voice was low and hoarse, and he asked, "Master, would you...have a bite?"

Ling Xiao never ate.For monks, this kind of food, apart from a momentary pleasure of tongue, will only add to the monk's body and will not do any good.

But Ling Xiao lowered his eyelashes hastily, raised his hand, took the rabbit's leg over, turned around, and took a bite on his lips.

The delicate taste of burnt fragrance permeated the lips.

Ling Xiao took another bite silently.

It's not that the rabbit meat is so delicious, even at this moment, he doesn't know what he is doing.

But... too soon.

Inexplicably, just looking at each other, his heart beat so fast, so fast that his chest was vibrating, pounding, shaking his eardrums from the inside, making him almost unable to think.

His body reflexively made some movements, as if to protect himself, making the atmosphere less anxious.So, he ate the rabbit meat in his hand bit by bit, but the taste could hardly be tasted on the tip of his tongue.

His neck and behind his ears were flushed red.

When his heartbeat finally returned to normal, the rabbit meat in his hand was almost finished.

As if waking up from a dream, he threw the bone away, the movement was a little big, the bone gurgled on the ground, and rolled to the horse's hooves.The steed lowered its head and sniffed the bone, then snorted and flicked its tail in disappointment.

Ling Xiao was sitting with his back facing Qin Jiangli, his heart was in a mess, and he wanted to meditate and adjust his breath immediately to stabilize his mind.

But...he can't.

So he sat where he was, in the dense night, like ants circling around on a hot pot, even though he wanted to escape subconsciously, he asked himself repeatedly uncontrollably...

Just now, what happened to me?

Why did he... suddenly lose his composure just by simply looking at Qin Jiangli, but the distance was a little close, and his eyes seemed a little dark?

Ling Xiao couldn't ask himself the answer, so he led himself round and round into the horns.

I do not know how long it has been.

"...Master." He heard Qin Jiangli call him that.

Immediately, the melancholy in his heart was like encountering a gust of gentle wind, so lightly swept away, it dissipated and disappeared.

"Yeah." He forcefully responded as if nothing had happened.

He was so confused that he didn't hear it at all, and Qin Jiangli's voice behind him was also a little hoarse and trembling.

It was the thick, complex and fiery emotions that the young man suppressed forcibly, but kept emerging from his gaze and voice.

Qin Jiangli paused.

Ling Xiao's heart rose to his throat.

Did he see his gaffe just now?He thought anxiously.It's impossible not to see that I just looked at him for so long... What would he ask himself?But I think it's easier to explain that I am dressed as a woman at this time, but why did I suddenly...

"Master, good night."

He heard Qin Jiangli whispering like this.

"...Well, good night." He was relieved, he let out a sigh of relief, and responded.

The throbbing just now couldn't be ignored, but at least now, the death row inmate heard the sound of the probation sentence.

He achieves a temporary, self-deceiving peace.

-

The next day, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened, and neither of them said anything unnecessary.That little episode last night seemed to melt and disappear into the sunlight along with the rays of the rising sun and the stars all over the sky.

There are some things, like stars.Although it is beautiful and intangible, it can only exist in darkness. Even if the moonlight is a little brighter, it will be disturbed and dissipated.

However, Ling Xiao still had a little doubt in his heart——

Last night, even though he was so awake and confused, he still fell asleep peacefully.Even in this kind of icy and snowy place, I slept very peacefully, didn't have any dreams, and it was dawn when I opened my eyes.

It must be that the days of mortals are too long.he thought.

Naturally, the system leaning over him did not say that after the host fell asleep last night, he fell asleep leaning on the shoulder of his stone-like apprentice who had been silent all this time.His little apprentice didn't move, and worked hard to make a humanoid cushion all night.

Speaking of which, his little apprentice really respects his teacher.Two days ago, he took advantage of the fact that the host fell asleep while reading a book in the inn, and ran back to report to the main system for two hours of work. When he came back, he saw that his apprentice was afraid that he would not sleep well, so he gently laid him flat on the bed.

The system, who didn't see what happened in those two hours, said with emotion, anyway, the host has to reach a 1V1 ending with the non-original male lead, so it's better to just follow this apprentice.

Although the genders are the same, but... men and men are also delicious!

Especially master and apprentice... I heard that girls like this kind of thing very much now.

Thinking of this, the system was complacent. While thinking about how to persuade the host to consider his apprentice, it also thought about taking this as a staged important work result and reporting it to the leader.

On the other side, Qin Jiangli, who had brought the horse over as if nothing had happened, was silent, invited Ling Xiao to the horse, and sat directly on it himself.

Ling Xiao's ears burned again, and he subconsciously wanted to tell him to go down, but also wanted to avoid it.

——My heart beat faster again, and I wanted to stay away from him.

But in view of the hypocrisy of those actions, Ling Xiao, who puts face first, endured it.

He didn't look sideways, and his neck was a little stiff.

Therefore, Ling Xiao didn't notice Qin Jiangli's deep and hot eyes behind him.

And he couldn't imagine what Qin Jiangli was hiding in his mind at this moment.

...Last night, after Qin Jiangli said "good night" to him, he secretly used the magic breath again to paralyze Ling Xiao's consciousness and make him fall asleep, while feeling him leaning on his body The touch, the breath falling on his neck.While he was breathing, Qin Jiangli raised his head slightly, and all night, the stars in the sky fell into his eyes.

In front of him are the stars twinkling wantonly in the night sky, and behind him... is his whole world.

This is the treasure that has been imprinted in the softest part of his heart and hidden in the deepest part of his memory for so many years.

-

After Ling Xiao and Qin Jiangli got on their horses, they continued to walk in the direction guided by the system.

Fortunately, going forward from here, the road became smoother, and the horse didn't have to strenuously walk.There are still a few pine trees that are motionless in the severe cold on both sides, but apart from the two of them, there are no other living things that are still moving.

It really is the well-deserved edge of the world.

On the third day, Ling Xiao and Qin Jiangli walked to the foot of the mountain indicated by the system.

When we got here, the temperature was already very low, and the oxygen became thinner, and the horse could no longer move forward.Qin Jiangli was about to tie the horse to the pine tree at the foot of the mountain, but Ling Xiao took the horse's reins, raised his hand and let go.

The horse knew the way, planed its hooves, and ran off the same way.

Qin Jiangli was a little stunned: "Master..." The horse let go, and after a while the two returned from here, and they could only walk.

Ling Xiao glanced at the horse's back, and said, "I don't know how long it will take to go down the mountain, and I don't know if the exit for the downhill is here. If it is tied here, what if we don't come back?"

Qin Jiangli was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Master is right," he said. "It's because the disciple didn't think carefully."

Ling Xiao is such a person.You can see that he is cold and has the first-class arrogance in the world, but in fact, under his armor, his heart is very soft.

Qin Jiangli smiled and nodded to him.

The two set foot on the road up the mountain together.

The two sides of the mountain are rocky, but there are various cold-resistant plants growing in the middle, covering the mountain densely, and there is still some magnificent beauty in the distance.

Ling Xiao was walking on the road, still thinking vaguely, the medicine must be sealed in the dense forest on the top of the mountain, or it might be a leftover cave like the real person who ascended to immortality before.

The two walked on the mountain for more than an hour, and they had already reached the mountainside.

Ling Xiao found something unusual.

Although the surroundings have always been surrounded by lush snow forests and jagged boulders, the scenery has not changed, but since they climbed the mountainside, they seem to have been entangled in a strange circle, over and over again, as if circling a circle non-stop Walking is also like getting lost.

But on this mountainside, there is clearly no fork in the road, but there is only one direction up the mountain.

Ling Xiao asked the system: "Do you know where this is?"

The system responded: "I don't know, I can only locate the location."

Ling Xiao: "...." It's really useless.

At this moment, Qin Jiangli, who was walking beside him, stopped.

Ling Xiao looked at him.

"Master." Qin Jiangli said. "We seem to be in a formation."
