Lights on the other side

"My lord, if you want to fall in love, then you..."

"To shut up."

Li Ruoci glanced at Jin Xiaoxue, and Jin Xiaoxue immediately stopped talking tactfully.

He had a dull pain in his head, and looked at the leisurely man in white clothes in front of him with infinite worry.He was really curious how Jin Xiaoxue snatched her back.It stands to reason that he may not be able to succeed if he makes a move himself.

Pei Shi was still talking and laughing with Sheng Wuxia over there without any scruples.Li Ruoci lowered his voice and said, "Have you finished?"

"Okay." Pei Shi raised his eyes.

At that moment, Li Ruoci's breathing was stagnant, as if he had just appeared in front of him.The brows and eyes are light and cloudy, and the corner of the mouth is faintly smiling.

Why do you still laugh when we meet again?

When he smiled, those past days always appeared in front of his eyes, bit by bit wearing away Li Ruoci's will.

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. There are beautiful girls who are willing to be with me. I wish for nothing."

"Pei Shi, do you still want your face?"

"What? You don't agree?"

Li Ruoci forced a hypocritical smile and said, "If I agree, will you be with her?"

Pei Shi looked at Jin Xiaoxue with affectionate eyes.

Jin Xiaoxue's body softened at this glance.When she first glanced at him on the street, she thought this man was really good-looking, and made her feel that peach blossoms were the most beautiful color in the world.

She immediately decided to snatch him back.She did this kind of thing a lot in the past, but most men resisted for the sake of their personal dignity. Unexpectedly, this time the accident went smoothly, and that young master Jia came back with them obediently.

She was very happy in her heart, but she didn't expect that someone would be seen by her son.Based on the current situation, this person has an inexplicable relationship with her son, and it's not that she has never heard of Pei Shi's name.Jin Xiaoxue is not too weak to bow down for a beauty, so she immediately escaped from the drowning eyes, turned to Li Ruoci and said, "No, no, I still think you are better, my lord."

"you shut up."

Jin Xiaoxue shut up again, it seems that Young Master is not in a good mood today, so she should not mess with him.

Li Ruoci slightly adjusted his posture on the chair, folded his legs together, propped his head up, thinking of ending this farce as soon as possible.

"Pei Shi, read that we have been together for such a long time, and we have some affection after all. I won't make things difficult for you. If you want to leave now, go quickly."

He spoke briefly and didn't want to get entangled.

Pei Shi looked at him without speaking.

Li Ruoci sneered, and said, "If you don't leave, I can't guarantee that I can do anything. I'm not as kind as you are."

He stood up, adjusted his neckline, turned around and went to the back, Jin Xiaoxue hurriedly followed.

"Young Master, Young Master, how do people deal with it?"

"Let him go."

Li Ruoci didn't want to see Pei Shi, when he saw him, more or less, he felt that he shouldn't be here, he would think of his sins, to Tang Yuanchu, and to many people.Rather than saying it was a sin, it was better to say that it was born with him, and it would be with him for the rest of his life.However, all of this has nothing to do with Pei Shi.

When he thought of this, he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

It was getting late outside, he walked back to his room, Jin Xiaoxue was still standing in the yard.

"Has Pei Shi left?"

"No."

"..."

"Sir, what should I do?"

"Throw him into the woodshed, there is no place for him here."

Li Ruoci suppressed the emotions in his heart, opened the quilt and fell asleep.But within an hour, he rolled over and sat up again.

The night ended here, Li Ruoci couldn't sleep anymore.There was something stuck in his chest, and he couldn't get up or down, which made him uncomfortable.He hurriedly dressed and came to the woodshed.

Moonlight shone in through the tattered paper window, pale silver.

The person lying on the woodpile was not sleeping comfortably, his brows were slightly frowned, and his hair was a little disheveled. The firewood room was too cold, and Pei Shi was wearing thin clothes, so he curled up slightly to keep out the cold, which made him feel a little pitiful Xi, like an abandoned cat.

Li Ruoci stared at Pei Shi coldly. He wanted to kill such a Pei Shi and bury him. He could neither be a friend nor an enemy.In the coming year, he can bring him a bouquet of small white flowers, and touch his name on the tombstone.

This kind of thought was just a flash, Li Ruoci immediately came to his senses, he strode into the woodshed, and directly grabbed the man on the ground by the collar.

Pei Shi woke up, his eyes met, Li Ruoci said bitterly, "I think we need to end it."

He grabbed Pei Shi's collar and pulled him up from the ground.Pei Shi didn't resist, so he let him pull him and walked out of the firewood room.

The two walked out of the yard. There was a big lake behind the house. Lingzhou was to the north, and flowers were blooming in the south. The lake here was still covered with a thin layer of ice.

Li Ruoci pulled Pei Shi to the top, let go of his hand, and said, "Pei Shi, take out your sword now, you can avenge Tang Yuanchu, and you can also avenge other San San or other sects. There are quite a few decent people under my command. However, whether you can take my life or not depends on your ability, but if you die by my hands today, don't blame me."

After speaking, he looked at himself complicatedly when he saw Pei Shi.

"Don't think about it, are you still afraid?"

Li Ruoci spread out his fan, and without waiting for Pei Shi's answer, he took the lead and struck Pei Shi's throat.Sui Yu immediately formed from Pei Shi's hand, blocking his fan.

The two fought on the lake like this, the sword energy smashed the thin ice on the soles of their feet, and wet the corners of their shoes and clothes.In the beginning, there was a long distance between the two of them, only various swords and fans passed by, and the light they brought was chaotic.Later, when they got close to each other, Li Ruoci's fan swept across Pei Shi's face sharply, leaving a bloodstain on it.Pei Shi took this opportunity and injured Li Ruoci's left arm in a serious way.

When you come and go between me, your eyes are red, and each of you wants the other's life.After a long time, both of them were somewhat exhausted. Li Ruoci knocked down Suiyu in Pei Shi's hand with a wave of his hand, but Pei Shi didn't pick it up. Instead, he reached out and locked Li Ruoci's wrist, pressing him on the ice.Unwilling to be restrained, Li Ruoci bent his knees and pushed against Pei Shi's abdomen.The two rolled around on the ice, and Pei Shi's fist directly greeted Li Ruoci's face. Li Ruoci had no time to block, without hesitation, he counterattacked, and hit Pei Shi's rib hard with his elbow.

Li Ruoci could hear the sound of bones breaking, and could also see the other party's expression of enduring the pain, and felt a distorted pleasure in his heart.When Pei Shi thought about it, Li Ruoci hugged his waist and pressed him firmly to the ground, preventing him from getting up.Next, Li Ruoci flipped over, directly pressed Pei Shi under him, and then used his knees to support him, freeing his hands to pinch his neck.Pei Shi gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand, and broke the wrist of the person opposite him with a force.

In an instant, a heart-piercing pain spread to Li Ruoci. With a muffled grunt, he stood up and kicked Pei Shi's body fiercely.Pei Shi couldn't recover from being kicked for a while, so he quickly protected his abdomen, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and felt the cold air invade his lungs, causing his entire chest to ache.With blood in his mouth, he stretched out his hand to grab Li Ruoci's leg, causing the person to kneel on the ice. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he got up, grabbed Li Ruoci's collar, and brought him down to the ground.

Pei Shi didn't leave Li Ruoci any room to relax, grabbed his head and smashed it on the ice.The ice behind him cracked inch by inch, and the moment Li Ruoci's head touched the ice, his eyes were dark and he lost consciousness.But Pei Shi still didn't let go, and pressed him down desperately, and the ice water woke him up again.

Li Ruoci's eyes were covered by his palms and he couldn't see anything.But he could feel that the ice on his neck was cracked, and his head was gradually being pushed into the ice water, starting with his ears, then his mouth, and finally his nose.The icy water constantly stimulated his senses. He struggled subconsciously due to choking, and grabbed Pei Shi's wrist dyingly, but Pei Shi didn't give him a chance. His wrist was as unshakable as steel.

"Well……"

Li Ruoci was forced to open his mouth because he couldn't breathe, but only water poured in.A feeling of drowning flowed through my body like an electric current.

A black void surrounded him.

After an unknown period of time, Li Ruoci lost his strength and his hand slipped down little by little. At this moment, he was lifted up and thrown on the ice.He lay on the ice and coughed desperately, his lungs hurt like they were being pierced, and he couldn't get over it no matter what.

Li Ruoci looked up weakly, while Pei Shi was looking down at him.

Although his health is not very good, Li Ruoci still insisted: "Why don't you kill me?"

Pei Shi's eyes darkened: "After all, you saved my life, so I'm not as ungrateful as you."

Li Ruoci on the ice smiled palely.

"Leave them." Pei Shi said to the people on the ground who looked like water ghosts.

"Leave them? Where am I going? Besides, do I have a reliable shore? There are three thousand roads, you and I have different paths, why bother?"

"I'll leave with you."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding air seemed to be sealed up.

After a while of silence, Li Ruoci said coldly, "Pei Shi, don't be too self-righteous."

"Self-righteous? That's how it is." Pei Shi smiled lightly, as if mocking himself, but also with imperceptible sadness.

"If you don't kill me, I will kill you. Kindly remind me that showing mercy to the enemy is the worst thing in the world."

After Li Ruoci finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

He is a soul from the past, and no one can give him flesh and blood.

In the end, only death will go hand in hand with him.

But after waiting for a long time, Li Ruoci didn't get the cold blade.

He raised his eyes and saw Pei Shi unsteadily picking up the Suiyu sword that had fallen aside, and walked forward without caring about himself behind him.

Pei Shi was covered in blood, which fell mixed with the water.

Li Ruoci turned her head sideways, silently watching the blood along the way, watching them finally disappear into the boundless night.Then he turned his head, faced Chang Tian, ​​and lay down on the ice without moving, until Jin Xiaoxue came to look for him.
