I met Jing Yi when I was seven.
That day was Mother's death anniversary, and also the anniversary of the Great Xia Dynasty. When we first met, Jing Yi's sword was in my throat.
His sword was as steady as a person's. Regardless of whether I was about to collide with the sword's edge or narrowly dodge it, he didn't move at all. Seeing that I had stopped, he didn't make another move. Instead, he neatly sheathed his sword.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at me, her voice light and clear."Just stand there."
I was stunned for a moment before I understood. He almost killed me because he didn't want me to get too close. I was a little dumbfounded. So there were people in this world who were inexplicably domineering.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, he stared into my eyes and didn't ask a question."Lanshan doesn't have any children."
I was stunned for a moment before I said,"I'm not."”
He was much taller than me. I looked at him with his head slightly raised. I realized that other than being good-looking, his gaze was also very special. A pair of pure black eyes. I couldn't tell his emotions or his emotions. He just stared at me, deep and dense, making it impossible for people to look away.
Perhaps it was my slightly red eyes that gave him a hint. He suddenly chuckled."I didn't think that there would be someone in Qingcheng who would cry from fear.”
I couldn't deny that he looked even better when he smiled, but I felt a little wronged. I usually didn't like to talk much, but before I turned around and left, I still opened my mouth and bit my lip to mention my mother's death anniversary. Thus, I heard him ask,"Did you pay your respects to her?"
I turned around and nodded at him.”
I then pointed to the northwest."She's over there."
He paused for a moment and looked in the direction I pointed. After a while, he said,"At least you can still pay your respects."
I didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't explain. I didn't know why, but I kept feeling that there was a hint of sadness in his eyes that were as steady as a rock just now. It was just that I felt that when I looked carefully again, it suddenly disappeared.
"Are you sad?"”
He was stunned, but he smiled. He didn't deny it directly, but he expressed his resistance by looking away.
If his previous smile was a kind of bright and beautiful brilliance, no matter how unpleasant the words he said were, it would still give people the urge to covet or flee from that face. However, at this moment, that feeling had completely changed. He had completely betrayed him, and it also made something in my heart suddenly tremble violently.
After I grew up, I often thought about this moment and how I could see his sadness and loneliness in that ordinary smile.
I think, perhaps it was because at that moment, we were both sad about the same thing. We both tried to hide it, but we didn't hide it well enough. We walked through our own tragedies and met each other. We were destined to have a moment where our hearts were connected.
I frowned, annoyed by his contempt.”
"If you don't laugh, do you want to cry?" He slowly moved his eyes back to her." Don't laugh. Even if you're silent, don't cry. When there are other people around, crying will highlight your cowardice and uselessness. When you're alone, crying will only make you feel worse.”
I repeated his words word by word in my heart. After a long time, I asked,"Who are you?"
He had completely recovered to his original state. He turned his head away from me calmly and coldly."You don't need to know."
Only when Tang Jie and Lan Shan rushed back to take him away did I know that it was Jing Yi, the Emperor of Jian Xuan who ascended the throne at a young age.
I never thought that he would have such an identity, nor was I too surprised. Only such an identity was worthy of such a gorgeous and dazzling youth. It was the only explanation why he had such deep and enduring emotions at such a young age.
At the same time, I also understood that I had guessed correctly. He was indeed grieving. This was the day he lost both his parents, the day he turned from the most honorable and worry-free child in the world into a lonely young emperor.
Qingcheng's biggest secret was her relationship with the royal family of the Xia Dynasty. The martial arts of the past emperors were taught by Qingcheng, and Jing Yi was no exception. Tang Jie had been teaching him martial arts for the past few years, and Lan Shan's mission was to protect him when he left the palace and help him do things that he could not or was inconvenient to do personally.
It didn't take me long to make that decision. When Lan Shan returned from sending Jing Yi back to the palace, the first thing I said to her was,""Lanshan, I want to be you."
Luo Ying was originally my mother's name, but in an instant, it became my dream.
This is the second year of Jianxuan. Jing Yi is twelve, and I am seven.
Ever since Emperor Jian De passed away, Tang Jie hadn't taken in any disciples for many years. Besides me, there were only Jing Yi and Shen Lin. At first, they always came and left together, but later on, Jing Yi came less and less, sometimes not even showing up for a few days. After his wedding at the age of sixteen, we even had to go to Prince Rui's residence in the capital to see Jing Yi.
That's why I've been seeing Shen Lin more often these past few years. Compared to Jing Yi, Shen Lin is much gentler and more polite. This handsome man has a relaxed temperament and a straightforward temperament. As he grew older, he became even more refined. Tang Jie liked him a lot, and only he inherited Tang Jie's medical skills apart from martial arts.
Jing Yi and I didn't learn much in this area. Tang Jie said that doctors were indifferent, Jing Yi had to be ruthless because of her identity, and I was too eager to become a Luoying. We each had our own reasons, so if we couldn't learn it, we didn't have to waste time.
To become a Fallen Shadow, my homework was extremely heavy. Other than learning the four major and four minor sword styles from Tang Jie, the most important thing was the many complex martial arts that Lanshan taught me. From internal force weapons to poison healing hidden weapons, and even the strengths and weaknesses of each branch of the Fallen Shadow Sword Style. She said that this was what a character like Lanshan had to have. To become the totem of a city, one had to be stronger than anyone in it. If one did not make a sound, then it was fine. If one stood out, they would be able to hold up the entire battle.
From the moment I picked up the sword, I was no longer the little girl who was doted on. I had to always remember that the harsher I was to myself, the longer I could pass on Qingcheng's secret and mission, and the closer I could get to him.
I never complained about the hardships that ordinary people would have to endure. Jing Yi and Shen Lin didn't have much time to learn martial arts because of their identities, but I was different. I had given up all my identities and used all my time and energy to improve myself. Only in this way could I feel at ease when I didn't see Jing Yi.
Jing Yi is the root of my tenacity. When he was around, I would often stare at him, even if it meant wasting a lot of precious time.
She didn't dare to face him directly. Not only would she be discovered by him, but his face was too cold. It was the kind of coldness that could make one feel cold with just one look. It made people flinch. She didn't want to be behind him. When she couldn't see his expression and only his back, she would feel that his body was too hard. It was a kind of firm stiffness that kept people a thousand miles away.
Therefore, I preferred his side profile, especially when he was solemn and silent. I could see the perfect outline of his straight lines. His facial features were sharp and exquisite, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. There was a faint shadow under his long eyelashes. When the sun was bright, he was dazzling. When the dark clouds were dense, he was also outstanding. He had an imposing style that could make people look up to him calmly. When I looked at him, everything around me would be overshadowed.
I improved very quickly. After four years, I had learned everything they could teach me and started to pick up the Dark Night. This was two years earlier than when my mother and Lanshan had been there.
Tang Jie had said before that I had the unique physique and talent that Mother had left for me. My inner energy cultivation was ten years better than ordinary people. When I first met her, she wanted to choose me to be Lan Shan's successor. However, Mother stopped her at that time, saying that she didn't want me to be like the sisters who had my fate arranged by others since I was young. She hoped that when I grew up, I would have my own choice.
He had mentioned several times, Yanyan, don't waste your talent.
When I heard this, I just felt happy and nodded fiercely. I knew that this meant that I had a higher status than others. I could fulfill my own wishes, see him often, and stand by his side in a few years. I never thought of asking why I had such talent, nor did I think that the weight of it was not as light as Tang Jie casually mentioned.
Even my mother's words to let me return to my father's side were simply ignored by me in the days when I could often see that figure.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 12PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
