As the two spoke, they moved further away from the night market.
After turning into an alley, there was not a single person in sight; the night was dark and silent, with the sounds of the bustling market far behind them.
Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from behind.
A voice shouted, "Hey, stop right there! Stay and play with us, or no one will come to save you this time!"
It was the three thugs who had been thrown away by Xu Xiaofei at the night market.
Each of them had bruised faces and dirt on their clothes, but they looked quite pleased with themselves as they approached the two from behind.
They had chosen their moment well. With no one else around, how could they be stopped by this ordinary, weak husband?
At the night market, they might have just made a few casual remarks to Shen Jinglan and were beaten up by Xu Xiaofei. Anger had risen in their hearts, and they decided to lie in wait at the exit of the night market, following the two into this alley. Surely, that Daoist Robe-wearing figure wouldn’t come to save the day again?
Spirit Sword Destiny: "..."
To bolster their courage, each of the three held a large wooden stick.
Hey, in a cultivation game, isn't your style a bit outdated?
Shen Jinglan sighed softly and murmured, "That Xu Shaoxia has indeed shown some mercy. If we let them go, who knows how many good women will be harmed."
"Yes," Spirit Sword Destiny replied, "I'll go right now..."
Shen Jinglan gently grasped his arm.
Their murmurs grew quieter, and a thug at the end of the alley shouted, "Speak up if you're begging for mercy; we can't hear you!"
Before the words fell, Shen Jinglan turned around, his lowered eyelids slowly lifting as he looked at them squarely.
—His changed appearance had surprisingly long eyelashes.
This glance was nothing remarkable at first.
However, the grins on the faces of the three suddenly froze, and immense fear erupted from their open mouths, which could not produce any sound, silently screaming. It was as if they had witnessed the most terrifying sight in the world in that instant.
"Thud."
One person collapsed to the ground, while others ran away with their heads held tightly.
Spirit Sword Destiny knew that their souls had been captured by evil spirits, and they would never awaken from this nightmare in their lifetime.
The autumn wind blew, sweeping the fallen leaves into a pile on the stone path.
The bright moonlight illuminated the white road surface. Everything finally quieted down again.
"The leader won't even give me a chance to act," Spirit Sword Destiny said.
"There's plenty of time in the future." Shen Jinglan said.
In the future, you will have plenty of time to face the wind and rain alone. While I am still here, let me do a little more for you.
This statement did not come out, but Spirit Sword Destiny could hear it.
A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, and he smiled, saying, "The more you take on for me, the more unreasonable I will become."
"Why do you need me to teach you?" Shen Jinglan replied. "Many years ago, when I first met you, you were already very sensible, far more so than many who are older in age. I can see that you are hiding some secrets."
"What?" Spirit Sword Destiny was taken aback!
Looking at his astonished expression, Shen Jinglan seemed to find it quite amusing.
"You certainly disguise it well; there are almost no flaws exposed. It took me a long time to gradually figure it out. I never asked what kind of person you are or whether you came from Soul Possession because those things are irrelevant. I only know that when you came to me, I had nothing left except for half my life; you definitely did not come for any ulterior motives. Even your own life was precarious at that time."
He continued, "For this reason alone, I have always absolutely trusted you."
"So the leader had already discovered it... Well, I've been with the leader day and night; how could I hide such a thing from you?" Spirit Sword Destiny couldn't help but sigh. In fact, he should have thought of this earlier and been honest about it; since the leader didn't bring it up, he kept it hidden in his heart.
"I came to you back then because I knew that the leader is someone who can accomplish great things and is worth being loyal to. Over the years, the leader has never disappointed me!"
"Is that so? I always thought I was quite good myself," Shen Jinglan said.
He revealed that bright and gentle smile again, one that brings joy to anyone who sees it.
No matter what he looks like, his smile always remains unchanged.
"Master..."
"However, after hearing you say that, I feel a bit ashamed."
"Why should the Master feel ashamed? No one below can compare to you... None of the elders or brothers below can be as dedicated and guiding as you are."
Even if someone could be gentler than you, no one is stronger; even those stronger than you cannot be gentler.
—Moreover, there truly is no one stronger than you.
Shen Jinglan: "..."
He was not a man of few words, yet this time, he found himself at a loss for words.
He turned his gaze away and said, "Yan, let's go."
Although his face didn't flush, he seemed somewhat embarrassed.
"Master..." Spirit Sword Destiny caught up with him and walked alongside him for a while before speaking again.
"Mm?"
"You can probably guess what I want to do to that Xu Shaoxia. You seem to have quite a fondness for him? But I know he will be our lifelong enemy in the future, so we must not let our guard down around him."
"I see," Shen Jinglan said. "Alright, what do you need me to do?"
"Not yet," Spirit Sword Destiny shook his head. "Not just yet, let me handle him for now."
The face of Xu Xiaofei appeared before him again.
That face, filled with tears yet smiling, full of hope.
Unfortunately...
The people the leader has feelings for, he would also like.
But fate is at odds.
