The cave was extremely cold.
"Junior Brother Meng, let's go out first.”Zhou Changkong sighed.
Xiao Yu's expression became more and more unsightly. Meng Xiu Ming bit his lips and nodded.
Meng Xiuming supported Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu's body was completely out of control. Just as he stood up, he fell down again. He had no strength to support his body.
"Xiao Yu, how are you?" Meng Xiuming crawled over and was brought along by Xiao Yu to fall to the ground.
"Little Meng, I'm fine." Xiao Yu said very reluctantly.
"I'll carry him. Let's leave this place first. We'll talk about other things later.”Zhou Changkong was indeed the most reliable of the Seven Stars Shadow Killer. He was more thoughtful than anyone else.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Meng Xiuming said with tears in his eyes.
Zhou Changkong carried Xiao Yu on his back while Meng Xiuming looked at Dongfang Mingyue." Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, please help Miss Dongfang and…" Meng Xiu Ming's gaze fell on Tang Xue Su who was lying on the ground. The woman's eyes were filled with anger." My sister."”Meng Xiuming still called her sister, even though he didn't have much memory of her.
Fang Poxiao carried the unconscious Dongfang Mingyue, Bai Chuanyun and Bai Fantian carried the injured Tang Xuesu, and Su Miaoyi walked forward to support Meng Xiuming." Senior Brother, are you alright?"”Meng Xiuming's expression was also not very good.
"I'm fine." As soon as Meng Xiuming finished speaking, an aura began to run amok within his body. Meng Xiuming clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to suppress this chaotic aura, but it was all in vain.
Meng Xiu Ming felt his vision turn black and Su Miaoyi exclaimed,""Senior Brother…"
Everything turned dark in an instant.
A ray of sunlight shone straight into the room and landed on the side of Meng Xiuming's pale face. Shen Chenchen was sitting at the side, waiting for Meng Xiuming to wake up.
Meng Xiuming's eyelashes fluttered as he opened his eyes. He saw Shen Chenchen sitting on the side of the bed with a tired face. When Shen Chenchen saw that Meng Xiuming had woken up, he said,""Junior Brother, you're awake. How do you feel?”
Meng Xiuming smiled faintly when he saw Shen Chenchen and asked,""Senior Brother, why are you here?"
"You fainted yesterday. I was very worried, so I waited here for you to wake up.”
"You've been guarding me here all night?”Meng Xiuming stared at Shen Chenchen with heartache.
"I'm afraid that once I leave, I won't be able to see you again, so I can't bear to leave.”Shen Chenchen's gentle voice echoed around Meng Xiuming.
Meng Xiuming did not dare to look into Shen Chenchen's eyes. He looked around and asked,""Where is this place?"
"This is a farmhouse. We arranged for you to rest here for the time being. We gave the owner some money, and the owner took us in.”
Shen Chenchen held Meng Xiuming's hand, which was still as cold as before.
"Your hand is still so cold. The first time I held your hand, I couldn't believe it. It's still the same now.”
Meng Xiuming trembled slightly. Shen Chenchen was still so protective of her, but Meng Xiuming could not talk to Shen Chenchen without any scruples like before. There was finally a gap between the two of them.
Meng Xiuming withdrew his hand." Senior Brother, the matter is already in the past. Don't bring it up again.”
Meng Xiuming lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Shen Chenchen stopped him." Your body is still very weak. You need to rest more."”
Meng Xiuming insisted on getting up.”
Shen Chenchen's hand stopped in mid-air. At this time, Meng Xiuming was still thinking about Xiao Yu. Shen Chenchen had already lost the reason to stop Meng Xiuming.
Meng Xiuming's hair fluttered in the cold wind. Perhaps he had broken out in a cold sweat. Some of the hair on his forehead was stuck tightly to his forehead, making him look a little disheveled. Shen Chenchen supported Meng Xiuming." I'll take you there."”
The two of them walked around the first straw hut on the left. Xiao Yu lived opposite.
Through the window, Meng Xiu Ming saw that Xiao Yu had already woken up, but she didn't go in because Tang Xue Su was inside.
"Xuesu, don't deal with Little Seven anymore. She's your sister.”Xiao Yu said.
"Xiao Yu, do you only have Xue Yu in your heart? We've been practicing martial arts together since we were young. Why do you only have Little Seven in your heart?”Tang Xuesu asked with slight sadness.
"Junior Sister." Xiao Yu called out to her gently,"I remember that you also doted on her when we were young, didn't you? You didn't even let me get close to her, saying that she was your younger sister, and even I couldn't take her away from you…"
"Enough." Tang Xuesu interrupted Xiao Yu," When I was young, Father and Mother gave her all their love. Father and Mother couldn't even spare a bit of the world to accompany me, Eldest Sister, and Second Sister. My love for her is only on the surface, it's just an illusion. I want to snatch back Father and Mother's love, snatch it back from Tang Xiaoqi's hands, snatch back everything that I should have that was taken away. Everything that I had was taken away by her, including you.”
Xiao Yu was startled.
The more Tang Xue Su spoke, the more sorrowful she became. Her sorrow seemed to flow on the ground, flowing to Meng Xiu Ming's feet. Meng Xiu Ming wanted to dodge, but Tang Xue Su's hatred had already surrounded her.
Meng Xiu Ming looked at Tang Xue Su. This familiar yet strange elder sister, when she was young, she was punished by her father for stealing the Green Ruyi. She was beaten to death by her father, and her third sister, Tang Xue Su, was badly mutilated. Was all that love fake? No, definitely not. There must be a reason for all of this.
"Xuesu, everything you have belongs to you. No one can take it away from you.”
"But why is it that everything I want is in her hands?”
" Master and Mistress, it's the same for Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, you and Little Seven. You're all their children. I remember when I was young, Master and Mistress would always take you to the back mountain to play. I was really envious when I saw the six of you happy and harmonious. At that time, I thought that if I had such a family, it would be great if I had a father and mother who loved me. I didn't. My father died and my mother remarried. Only Master and Mistress took me in." That's why I had a place to settle down and didn't become a beggar on the streets. Later, everything changed. I'm still alone. You're also alone. Little Seven is also alone. We didn't know about each other and lived alone. It's only now that we realized that we're still alive. Isn't this great news?”Xiao Yu recalled the past, and Tang Xuesu fell silent.
The past slowly impacted Meng Xiuming's mind as Xiao Yu narrated. The four sisters of the Tang family, the Tang Sect's Sect Master, the Tang Sect's wife, and the happy and cheerful childhood were all gone.
"Xiao Yu." Tang Xuesu called out in a low voice," When I was young, I really envied Xueyu. I envied her for having you protect her so much and treat her like the bright moon in the sky. I really wished that someone would dote on me like that.”
"You will find your true love.”Xiao Yu replied.
"Have you ever loved me?" Tang Xuesu stared into Xiao Yu's eyes. Seeing Xiao Yu startled, she added,"Even if it's just a little bit, or just for a moment?"”
"It's me." Xiao Yu wanted to say something but hesitated. Meng Xiu Ming's heart was already hanging high, afraid that he would hear something he shouldn't have heard, but he couldn't bear to leave. She wanted to know what Xiao Yu would say.”
Tang Xuesu smiled bitterly when she saw Xiao Yu's expression,"Little sister, hehehe, what a good little sister. I knew it, I'm asking in vain. Your heart is all on Little Seven, and you can't spare any space for me. But I love you. I've fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you when I was eight years old. But when I saw you and Little Seven together, I began to hate her, hate her, and even don't want her to stay in the Tang Sect. I can't control myself. She's my little sister." I can't let her live on the streets."
" You're Little Seven's sister. You definitely wouldn't have the heart to hurt her. Now, it's not easy for you two sisters to reunite…"
"I won't give her the antidote.”Tang Xuesu turned her head away. Her cold expression could even freeze Xiao Yu in front of her. Tang Xuesu sat beside Xiao Yu and spoke again with anticipation," If you can forget her, I won't let you die."”
Meng Xiuming clenched his fists, and Shen Chenchen also clenched his fists. Their actions were the same, but their emotions were completely different.
"I can't forget her, and I can't forget her.”Xiao Yu's soft words made Tang Xuesu very unwilling.
Tang Xuesu closed her eyes. The tears in the corner of her eyes slid down her porcelain white face. Her tears were hazy, reflecting the light of unwillingness.
Outside the window, Meng Xiuming felt as if her heart had been ruthlessly grabbed. It was so painful that her breathing became rapid. She frowned slightly and placed her hand on her chest. This place was so painful that she could not stand properly.
Shen Chenchen stood behind her. Her expression made her heart ache. She had never had such an expression before. Even when she almost died, she looked very relaxed. She was moved and her heart softened. She loved the man inside. After all, she was a woman.
Meng Xiu Ming didn't want to continue watching. He gritted his teeth and left. It was better not to let them know.
"Young Master Meng." A sharp voice came from behind Meng Xiu Ming. Meng Xiu Ming stopped in his tracks. Dongfang Mingyue ran over from the end of the road. With this shout, Xiao Yu and Tang Xue Su both looked out the window. Meng Xiu Ming originally wanted to leave quietly, but this time, Dongfang Mingyue ruined things again. Meng Xiu Ming looked into the room, and their gazes collided in the air.
Meng Xiuming looked at Dongfang Mingyue and said faintly,""This woman is really incompetent.”
"Little Meng." Xiao Yu cried out in alarm and fell off the bed.
Meng Xiuming turned around and left quickly. Shen Yangchen quickly followed.
Meng Xiuming ran all the way to the top of the mountain, facing the rising sun, which emitted a bright red light. Meng Xiuming raised her head slightly. Although it was winter, the sunlight was still so piercing that she couldn't open her eyes.
The wind on the mountaintop was cold and unbridled. Meng Xiuming's red robes fluttered behind her. She raised her head and let her tears flow back. Who was the one who said that crying was a sign of cowardice? She could not cry anymore.
Shen Chenchen followed her. She did not speak, and neither did he.
"Senior Brother, you can go back first. I'm fine. I want to enjoy the wind here alone.”Meng Xiuming said to the empty canyon. She breathed in a breath of cold air, and her body turned cold.
"I won't disturb you. I'll just watch you quietly from behind.”
"Senior brother, you've been guarding me for the whole night and you're tired. If you want me to be at ease, then go back and rest.”Meng Xiuming crossed his arms, his face full of apology, but he could not refuse.
Shen Chenchen understood Meng Xiuming's temper. Since she had said so, he could not refute her. He took a deep breath and said," Alright then. Take care of your body. It's too cold on the mountain. You should leave the mountain early."”
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I understand." Meng Xiuming's voice drifted through the empty mountain, desolate but not mournful.
Shen Chenchen left. Meng Xiuming was like a red phoenix standing proudly on the peak of the mountain, flamboyant and arrogant. Only the endless deep valley knew her sorrow.
With Dongfang Mingyue's support, Xiao Yu stumbled along the path Meng Xiuming had taken and chased after him.
In the mountains, he bumped into Shen Chenchen, who was returning.
"Young Master Shen, didn't Young Master Meng come back with you?”Dongfang Mingyue's face was frighteningly cold when she saw Shen Chenchen return from the mountain alone.
"Yeah, why don't I see Little Meng?" Xiao Yu also asked.
Shen Yangchen's face darkened." Do you still care about her? In order to save you, she did not hesitate to trespass into the Seven Stars Hall's forbidden area and almost lost her life here. However, you made her so sad.”
"I know it's my fault. It's all a misunderstanding.”Xiao Yu explained.
"Misunderstanding? You actually said that this was a misunderstanding? Then you have to explain yourself properly.”Shen Chenchen was impatient." It seems that we need to have a good talk."”
"About what?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Then please let Miss Dongfang go back first. I'll have a good talk with Young Master Xiao.”Shen Chenchen's eyes swept over Xiao Yu.
"Why do you want me to go back? Brother Xiao hasn't recovered yet.”Dongfang Mingyue was displeased.
Shen Yangchen sneered." Don't worry, Miss Dongfang. I won't do anything to Young Master Xiao.”
"Ming Yue, be good. You can go back first. Young Master Shen is just talking to me.”Xiao Yu persuaded Dongfang Mingyue.
Dongfang Mingyue toot and turned her head back three times with every step she took. She then reluctantly went down the mountain.
"Young Master Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it.”Dongfang Mingyue's figure had already disappeared at the end of the mountain path.
"Then I'll be frank. I love Junior Brother Meng as much as you do.”Shen Yangchen said," My love is no less than yours. I accompanied her for ten years, but you only accompanied her for eight years. Her memories of you only stopped before she was eight years old, but with me, it was after she was eight years old. After she changed her identity, the person you loved was either Tang Xue Yu or Tang Xiao Qi, but the person I loved was Meng Xiu Ming. The person standing in front of us now is not the Tang Xue Yu you loved, but the Red Specter, Meng Xiu Ming.”
"No matter what her name is, she is still her, the Little Seven in my memory, the person I love.”
" If you hadn't appeared, Little Meng wouldn't be in so much pain. I thought that I could bring her happiness by sealing her memories, but I was wrong. Some things can't be stopped. For example, you. Little Meng said that if no one appeared in three years, she would wander the world with me. At the last moment, you appeared and completely captured her. I was unwilling, but I saw that she didn't care about anything for you. She was about to give up. As long as she was happy, I didn't care. But you, what did you do to him?"
"You love her, but I have never given up looking for her. In my heart, she is my only bride.”Xiao Yu said very solemnly.
"The only bride?" Shen Yangchen sneered, then his voice gradually turned furious." Do you know what she's been through in the past ten years? Do you know the pain she's going through?"
"It's me." Xiao Yu was speechless for a moment. He didn't know anything.
"Since you don't know, then let me tell you about her past, my past with her.”Shen Chenchen raised his eyebrows." We've been through more than you can imagine.”
Xiao Yu did not say a word, and Shen Chenchen began to talk about the past ten years ago.
Meng Xiuming from ten years ago was an eight-year-old child.
