Ye Shu and Yan Changlan never thought that Tai Sheng would come to summon him again not long after he left. After reading the summons, the two couldn't help but look at each other and thought it was a coincidence.
It turns out that among the sect master's several named disciples, the second most powerful one, Senior Brother Zhai Yiming, had a mortal lover who was only a few days away from dying. The barrier is extremely deep and unbreakable, and it is extremely difficult to eliminate it in the short eight hundred years of life in the Nascent Soul realm.
Yan Changlan was a little sad. When he looked at Ye Shu, there was indescribable joy in his expression, and he said: "Ah Zhuo, fortunately we both have spiritual roots and can be with you on the journey to immortality, otherwise..."
Ye Shu's expression was gentle: "I am indeed very lucky."
If one of them has no spiritual roots, they will never meet in the past life, let alone this life.
By then, maybe Yan Changlan would have already lived and died with the city lord's mansion where he was, or maybe Ye Shu would be a mortal and be raised rich by his grandfather.
In short... there will not be the current hand in hand.

After a while, Tai Sheng came in with a haggard male cultivator. Just as he walked this way, Tai Sheng smiled heartily and said, "I'm here again. You two junior brothers, please don't think I'm disturbing you."
Ye Shu and Yan Changlan stood up to greet each other, both saying: "I'm so happy, I wish I could come again a few more times."
Because the matter was quite urgent, no one on either side was too polite.
After Tai Sheng introduced Zhai Yiming to Ye Yan, Zhai Yiming hurriedly asked about Shouxian peach gum.
Zhai Yiming said: "Junior Brother Ye, Junior Brother Yan, do you really have that peach gum? Can it extend the life of a mortal without damaging his body?"
Ye Shu's expression was calm, but his movements were agile. With a flick of his hand, a jar appeared on the stone table, filled with amber-colored peach gum. Its color ranged from light to dark, exuding a faint peach fragrance.
Yan Changlan picked out a few peach gums from inside, pointed at them one by one, and said: "roughly, the ones that can last two to three hundred, four to five hundred, six to seven hundred, and one thousand lives. But except for the one that has a thousand lifespan, the other peach gums can last for a thousand years." The lifespan can only be estimated roughly, not accurately. Some of the two or three hundred can extend the life by two hundred and two, and some can extend the life by two hundred and five. There will even be a few years difference between years." When he said this, he To quote, "So the quotation can only be roughly estimated. The prices in order are three hundred, five hundred, seven hundred and one thousand medium-grade spiritual stones."
In the early years, Ye and Yan sold Biqiong jelly brewed in the sacred stone in the lower world. The product could ignore realms and mortal monks. As long as you take an inch-long cup, you can extend your life for a hundred years. If this thing were sold in the spiritual realm, even if it was priced at tens of thousands of medium-grade spiritual stones, many monks would be willing to do so. However, although these longevity peach gums can extend life for longer, they can only be sold to mortals. Monks have no use for them, so the price must be much cheaper.
After the quotation, Yan Changlan said again: "If Senior Brother Zhai wants it, it would be better to use an uncommon refined material to estimate the transaction. If there is no refined material that A Zhuo likes, it can also be traded with a medium-grade spiritual stone."
Ye Shu added on the side: "If you trade it with a mid-grade wind-attributed spiritual stone, the amount can be halved."
When Yan Changlan heard this, he knew that his lover was doing it for him, and he felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but glance at Ye Shu, and there seemed to be a glimmer in his eyes.
Ye Shu noticed something and looked back.
Although the two people looked at each other very quickly, there were all monks present, so how could they not notice it?
Tai Sheng already knew that the two junior brothers came from the lower world at the same time, and they were a Taoist couple. Now that they saw them, they just felt that the young people had a deep affection, which made people feel happy. However, I am also a little worried about Zhai Yiming's mood - the junior brothers' actions are slight and restrained very quickly. It is obvious that they have revealed something unconsciously, but in the eyes of junior brother Zhai at this moment, I am afraid that they are a little sad.
Zhai Yiming is indeed a little sad, but more of a nostalgia and self-blame.
Back then, when he accompanied Zizhe to swim in the small world, the two of them had a tender relationship, with traces of nostalgia in the corner of his eyes and brows. Life was really happy. However, in the spiritual realm, he had to go into seclusion and escape because of the imminent breakthrough. Afterwards, I was always busy with cultivation or other things. The more I thought about it, the more my heart felt like it was bound and tightened by silk threads. It hurt so much and made me feel so guilty.
In fact, if you want to have both, why can't you do it?
Although Zhai Yiming cannot stop practicing at a critical moment, he can find a way to create a formation to protect Zizhe. Zizhe can enter and exit the cave on his own. Even if he cannot speak to Zizhe, his physical body can always call Zizhe to see him. Yes, it may not be a comfort to Zizhe. After being in seclusion, as long as there is a formation to protect Zizhe, he can still be in the same place while meditating and practicing and Zizhe is reading books. What's wrong with leaning on each other? He was going out to do something, something not too dangerous, so why couldn't he take Zizhe with him? After going outside the sect, why couldn't he take time to accompany Zizhe to visit the local scenic spots after doing business?
After all, he was too careless in the past and took everything for granted.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, but the most important thing was to buy the Shouxian peach gum.
·
Zhai Yiming suppressed his emotions forcibly and took out many things from the storage ring. Among them were a large number of refined materials, some of which were spiritual. In addition, there were more than a hundred middle-grade wind-attributed spiritual stones - in the spirit. There are many more such things in the realm than in the lower realm, but they are not easy to encounter.
Ye Shu didn't want to delay Zhai Yiming's time with his lover, so he wanted those Wind Spirit Stones and spiritual materials. In addition, there was some price difference, so he took some materials with corresponding prices.
After collecting these into the Hunyuan Pearl, he took out one of the darkest-colored Shouxian peach gum and gave it to Zhai Yiming.
Both parties were monks and there was not much gossip. After the transaction was completed, Tai Sheng and Zhai Yiming said goodbye to Ye Yan and hurriedly left the disciple residence.
·
Tai Sheng still sent Zhai Yiming back and stopped disturbing him.
And Zhai Yiming hurriedly brought the peach gum to the room where Mo Zizhe was sleeping. Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, which was the same as when they first met, he did not immediately put the peach gum into his mouth.
Because he suddenly remembered that although he really wanted Zizhe to accompany him for another thousand years, Zizhe, who was awake intermittently, was always very open-minded. Is he... still willing to continue living? Or is it that although he is still worried about himself, he is already tired of this kind of life and already wants to sleep forever?
At this moment, Zhai Yiming had many thoughts. He felt cold all over his body, anxious and uneasy, and frightened at the same time.
Finally, he walked to the bed, half-knelt down, took Mo Zizhe's hand, and put it against his face.
Nonchalantly, Zhai Yiming softly confessed all his thoughts.
He murmured: "Zizhe, you are always by my side quietly. I forgot to ask you, are you happy? Are you willing? I exchanged it for peach gum that can extend your life for thousands of years. But for mortals, a thousand years may be too long. I have not been able to tolerate you all these years, and you...are you still willing to eat this peach gum?"
Zhai Yiming felt a lot of pain, but he already thought clearly that he didn't want to force Mo Zizhe any more. Of course, he is still afraid of being left behind by his lover, but he has done very poorly before and will not resent being left behind.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. I won't show such an embarrassed look anymore, and I won't ask you to worry about me in the dark. It's just that I may miss you very much... If you don't want to, there will be nothing." Don’t worry, I really won’t force you…”
Zhai Yiming's voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't move at all.
He was thinking, just waiting here, Zizhe would wake up for a short while every day. When he woke up, he would ask again gently. You have to control your tone. You can't make Zizhe a little unhappy, and you can't always ask for things as a matter of course.
Just listen to Zizhe's most sincere thoughts, nothing else matters.
He will never be the same as before. He should be the person who can make Zizhe feel most comfortable.
Zhai Yiming's mind was filled with random thoughts, and he tried hard to think about how to talk to Mo Zizhe in the future.
And at this moment, the hand he was holding and covering his face moved slightly.
As if struck by lightning, Zhai Yiming opened his eyes wide and looked at Mo Zizhe on the bed.
Mo Zizhe did not open his eyes, but his lips moved slightly.
Zhai Yiming quickly moved closer to listen to Mo Zizhe's words.
Then he heard the faint voice.
"……fool……"
"Why do you...think I don't want to?"
