Chapter 122 Return
Chen Li took Shen Shi and Ling Chunni to the other side of the house, and the other disciples of the Fairy Society dispersed along with it. Halfway down the road, Xiao Hei, who had not seen a shadow just now, was from Pi Dian Pi Dian. He got out and caught up with Shen Shi in a trot. Then he still looked lazy, looking around and following him to the side door.
Along the way, Ling Chunni didn't say much, but occasionally gave Shen Shi a sneak peek. When the three of them bypassed several big houses and passed through a garden, they came to a small closed door. There was no one around and it seemed very quiet.
Chen Li stopped and turned back to Shen Shi and said, "Master Shen, this is the side door. From here, the door is separated from the gate by a street, so people like Jiang Shaoyuan may not find it for a while."
Shen Shi nodded, thanked him, walked over to open the door, and took a look at it. As expected, there was a quiet path with few pedestrians outside the door, which didn't seem dangerous. He turned his head and greeted Ling Chunni, and when she let her walk over, Chen Li suddenly spoke again:
"Master Shen, that Jiang Shaoyuan is the head of the local'Iron Tiger Gate'. Xiang has a fierce reputation, and there are nearly a hundred disciples of his followers. Although the realm of Taoism is not too high, he himself is just a high-level monk of Ning Yuan. The big faction is of course incomparable. It’s just that this person has made some fox and dog parties many years ago, and now they have some status and status, and each has their own situation. There is the name of a beast in the name of the school. On weekdays, they watch and help each other. In addition to not dare to provoke the famous sects, they have always been domineering, and no monks dare to provoke them. A little bully in Cloud City."
He paused, with a little more concern on his face, and said softly: "Young Master Shen is naturally not afraid of such a villain, but if he really confronts these people on weekdays, he should be careful."
Shen Shi didn't expect that the ugly black man had such a back/view. After listening to it, he slowly nodded, and when he looked at Chen Li, his eyes were a little more gentle, and he clasped his fist and said, "Thank you brother Chen for your guidance. Shen Shi thanked you here."
Chen Li smiled and said nothing. The friendship between Shen Shi and Gu Da's shopkeeper was obviously different from that of ordinary people. These things were just lip-synching to him, but they were able to create affection for Shen Shi. He has been in this fairy club for many years. , Other talents dare not say how to excel, but this kind of human relationship is exquisite, but it is naturally proficient.
Ling Chunni walked out the door and looked at the street for a while, and then his nervous expression calmed down a bit, although he was still a little scared in the depths of his eyes, or he was a little more at a loss about the future life. But no matter what, it seemed as if it had passed the test temporarily. She turned around and whispered to Shen Shi: "Master Shen, then I'll leave."
Shen Shi nodded, then frowned slightly, and said, "Are you going back alone?"
Ling Chunni hesitated for a while, her expression seemed to hesitate, but in the end she still whispered: "It should be all right." After speaking, she turned around in silence and walked down the steps.
Shen Shi watched the woman walk into the street with a mess of hair and a pale face, and walked forward alone. His back looked exceptionally desolate and weak. A pedestrian passed by her after not taking a few steps, but it seemed that she suddenly took her Shocked, his body shrank subconsciously, but then he realized that he was just a malicious stranger, and he was relieved from the tension.
Shen Shi shook his head, stayed silent for a moment, and suddenly turned his head and said something to Chen Li. Chen Li's face seemed to be a little bit astonished. After asking, Shen Shi just shook his head, and then took Xiao Hei down the stone steps and walked to it. On this street, he quickly caught up with Ling Chunni, facing Ling Chunni's surprised gaze, Shen Shi said indifferently:
"Forget it, a good person will do it to the end, and I will send you back, so that if there is any accident on the road, I am a good person."
Ling Chunni hesitated, and said, "Then...what about the auction at the Fairy Club?"
Shen Shi shrugged, showing a bit of helplessness, and said angrily: "I didn't go, I looked at the things there, and there is nothing I can afford. Anyway, there will be opportunities like this in the future, It does not matter."
Ling Chunni let out a "huh", his gaze lingered on the man's face, then quickly retracted, then lowered his head and continued walking, Shen Shi was walking beside her. Looking from a distance, the image of the woman who was miserable not long ago suddenly straightened up, as if she was finally no longer so afraid and desperate.

"Where is your home?"
After Ling Chunni walked along the streets of Floating Cloud City for more than half an hour, Shen Shi finally couldn't help but ask her. Ling Chunni was obviously still very careful on this road. Most of the secluded streets she chose include some small back streets. Even if she had to walk through the lively streets, she often walked over quietly and without showing her head. However, he walked from Nanbaofang to the east of Floating Cloud City, and was already a bit close to those of the vassal family.
Hearing Shen Shi's question, Ling Chunni raised her head. At this moment, they were walking to the entrance of a long street. Seeing that the pedestrian traffic was very lively, Ling Chunni whispered: "It's almost there, not far ahead."
Shen Shi nodded and walked forward side by side with her. He just walked a few steps. He suddenly thought of something, but he frowned and said: "I just heard that Chen Li from the Fairy Society said, the surname Jiang seems to be An aboriginal bully here in Floating Cloud City for many years, he is very familiar with this city if you want to come here, since you are... follow him in front, will he also know where you live, so what should he do if he comes to the door later?"
When Ling Chunni heard the hint of concern in his words, there was a warmth in his heart for no reason. He glanced at him and said in a low voice, "The place in front of me is my godmother’s residence. I usually live in another place in the city. In order to be afraid of such things, people generally don’t know about this place."
Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "That's good." He was about to move on, but at the moment his gaze just swept across Ling Chunni, but he was suddenly startled. He walked all the way to here from just now, thinking over and over in his heart. I was distracted and paid attention to the surroundings, watching if someone from the Iron Humen would catch up, so I didn’t really take a closer look at Ling Chunni, but instinctively only remembered that this woman had gone through the hardships. It looks very miserable.
Just looking at it at this moment, only to see Ling Chunni faintly changed a little, the original messy and miserable appearance has been slightly cleaned up by herself, including the hair that had been dropped in a mess before, and it was also put together and sorted. , Although it looks a little casual, the whole person still looks much cleaner.
There are still some scars on the corners of her mouth, but the blood has been wiped off by her, and there is also a ray of red in her pale complexion. Seeing that her complexion has improved, it seems to be a natural softness, in the flow of her bright eyes like water. , It is spilled out inadvertently.
It was like the gleam of light that appeared during the occasional wipe after the pearl was dusted, but it was fascinating.
Under the white neck, the originally beautiful clothes had some lacerations, but she tried to pull them more neatly, and as she walked, the unconcealed plumpness and snow revealed alluring scenery, and a deep canyon was under her dress. Vaguely visible, there is a dry beauty.
Shen Shi suddenly looked away, looked forward, and walked slowly. Behind him, Ling Chunni glanced at him silently, his eyes seemed to be a little blurry, but there seemed to be an indescribable faint light. He pursed his mouth slightly, and then followed gently.
When this long street was about halfway through, Ling Chunni stopped at a place on the side of the street. Shen Shi glanced around and saw that there was a narrow alley between two tall buildings on the side of the road. There was a lot of piled up near the mouth, and sewage flowed across, which looked very dirty.
He glanced at Ling Chunni strangely. Ling Chunni walked to the side of the alley and whispered: "My godmother’s residence is in this alley. It’s dirty and messy on weekdays. Almost no one comes here. Only our family lives in a broken house, so it should be safe."
Shen Shi nodded and said, "It turns out that this is the case, then you go."
Ling Chunni walked two steps into the alley, suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Shi, as if he wanted to say something, but then he stopped talking.
Shen Shi was a little strange, and said, "What's wrong?"
Ling Chunni thought for a moment, but still apologized, and said in a low voice: "The alley is messy and has an unpleasant smell. It's really not a good place, and the house inside is also in dilapidated condition. Don't ask the son to go in and sit down."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "A few small things, don't worry about it, all right, you go."
Ling Chunni took a deep look at him, wondering if he wanted to remember his face more deeply, maybe after today's parting, is there no time to see each other again?
After all, he and he have never looked like the same person.
She gently bent over to face Shen Shi, then turned around silently, and walked quickly towards the depths of the alley. The deep and dark shadows filled the alley and soon drowned her figure.
Seeing Ling Chunni's back disappear into the depths of the deep winding alley, Shen Shi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt inexplicably melancholy for no reason. This mood is not strong, maybe it's not even a loss to be plain, maybe it's just that he saw a beautiful woman like Ling Chunni, but he sighed slightly after being contaminated by the dust.
After thinking about it carefully, Shen Shi was actually a little fortunate, even though he had experienced many hardships and twists, but he grew up in a fairly stable family, and in the future, he will worship the great sect of Lingxiaozong. Compared with I don't know how much embarrassment and hardship in the world, and I am really lucky to be a casual cultivator who has been running around for a little spiritual crystal all day long.
A woman like Ling Chunni, who has no strengths, can only go this way if she wants to obtain spiritual crystals for cultivation?
He couldn't figure it out for a while, but his mood suddenly wasn't very good, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Maybe life is such a harsh reality?
Some people sit on top of everything, and some people are born humble and struggling, but in the end they can only be shattered into nothing?
Then what is oneself?
He walked forward in some silence, full of stunned thoughts, but didn't notice that two men in front of him walked up blankly and passed him by, when he walked outside the dirty alley, Their footsteps paused for a while, and then they made a turn and walked into the alley at the same time.
In front of the street, Shen Shi was walking, suddenly as if he felt something, he stopped turning and looked behind him, only to see that the place behind him was empty and there was nothing.
He stood there, silent, as if he wanted to recall something in a trace of hesitation, but he didn't get anything. Then he looked at the street farther away with a little hesitation, and he was out of his gaze. At the entrance of the alley, it was as dirty as it used to be, with darkness all over it.
