Shen Yebai was definitely more surprised than happy that Qin Moyu was Yu Lin.

Different from Qin Moyu's imagined reaction of Shen Yebai's surprise and acceptance, Shen Yebai's expression was very ugly.

"Ye Bai?" Qin Moyu called hesitantly.

Shen Yebai pursed his lips and did not respond, and stretched out his hand towards Honglian Yehuo without giving up.

Qin Moyu never expected that Shen Yebai would touch the red lotus karma fire directly even though he knew the power of the red lotus karma fire. Even though he took back the red lotus karma fire as quickly as possible, it was still a step too late and Shen Yebai's fingertips froze. A layer of ice.

"Shen Yebai, what are you doing!" Qin Moyu was shocked and angry, and even rarely called out Shen Yebai's full name. He grabbed Shen Yebai's fingers very angrily, and the fingers wrapped in ice were touched by red lotus. The fire was even a little purple, and Shen Yebai was really defenseless.

Shen Yebai was brought back from his thoughts by Qin Moyu's words. Seeing Qin Moyu angry, he felt a little guilty: "Sorry, Momo, I was just too surprised."

Qin Moyu was angry and funny. He let go of Shen Yebai's hand and wondered: "Is Yu Lin's reputation so bad? I scared you like this."

Shen Yebai calmed down and smiled bitterly: "No, it's just that I didn't expect Mo Yu to have the Red Lotus Karmic Fire."

"What's wrong with the Red Lotus Karma Fire? It won't be short-lived if you have it, why are you reacting like this?" Qin Moyu curled his lips. He thought Shen Yebai would praise him for how handsome he was when he was Yu Lin.

Shen Yebai sighed: "Does Mo Yu know the way to heaven?"

"Know."

"Then do you know that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire comes from extremely cold places and is related to the road to heaven?"

"I didn't know it at first. Master Xuanjing told me that day, and I didn't expect that the Red Lotus Karma Fire would involve so many things."

Qin Moyu let out a long sigh and summoned a small red lotus karma fire to spin on his fingertips. He stared at the red lotus karma fire and said in a lonely tone: "I thought Master didn't let me reveal my true identity because he was afraid The Red Lotus Fire was snatched away. I didn’t expect that the extremely cold place was related to the road to heaven, but I just wanted to explore the mystery of my life experience.”

Shen Yebai felt sorry for the lonely Qin Moyu. He knew how much Qin Moyu longed to find his family.

The reason why he was in chaos was because the Red Lotus Fire was related to the way to heaven. Although it was not in that person's plan, if that person knew about it, he would definitely notice Qin Moyu. He was a little afraid that he could not protect Qin Moyu.

"Who else knows about Mo Yu's red lotus fire?" Shen Yebai asked.

"There aren't many." Qin Moyu counted on his fingers. After much deliberation, there were only three people, "Just Master, Master Xuanjing and Ye Bai."

"That's good." Shen Yebai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about how to hide this matter.

After the momentary panic subsided, Shen Yebai felt that as long as he was careful and did not attract that person's attention, Mo Yu would be safe.

——No matter what, I will protect you.

Shen Yebai swore secretly in his heart.

"Mo Yu, don't use the Red Lotus Karma Fire casually in the future." Shen Yebai frowned and warned, "Not only will people come to spy on you, but using the Red Lotus Karma Fire many times will be harmful to you."

Is Red Lotus Karma Fire harmful to me?

Qin Moyu was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled face: "No, I've been using it for so long, and I don't feel any discomfort at all."

"But does Mo Yu know why you have those patterns on your face when you use the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?"

It was not that Qin Moyu had never thought about this problem, but the old Taoist priest told him that most demon cultivators in Xizhou would have strange patterns appear after using their exercises, but those patterns were harmless, so Qin Moyu always thought it was a driving force. The manifestation of red lotus karma fire.

Shen Yebai also guessed why Qin Moyu didn't take the pattern seriously. If he didn't know the inside story like him, he might have thought it was a normal phenomenon caused by the skill.

But actually--

"Because... that's not a pattern, but a seal." Shen Yebai sighed quietly.

"Seal?!" Qin Moyu's eyes widened.

Shen Yebai nodded: "Does Mo Yu know that there are people living in extremely cold places?"

"I know... and it is said that everyone there has Red Lotus Karmic Fire, so I should be from an extremely cold place? But that's not right. There seems to be a barrier in the extremely cold place that prevents people from entering and exiting at will, so how can I do that? Come out?" Qin Moyu asked several questions in succession. He did not expect that Shen Yebai's tone seemed to know many secrets about the extremely cold place.

But this is not consistent with common sense at all. Master Xuanjing knew it because he was just one step away from transcending the tribulation period, and because he had lived a long time, he could find clues from different classics in the Guanlan Sect's library to piece it together, but Shen Yebai He is obviously a helpless casual cultivator, how did he know this?

Shen Yebai smiled bitterly and said, "Because it's not a barrier, but a seal...or, in other words, a curse."

"The people who live in the extremely cold place have no names, but they have advanced cultivation and long lifespan. For some reasons, they cannot get out of the barrier of the extremely cold place. Even if they are lucky enough to escape - indeed some people have succeeded - they will use red lotus outside. After the fire of karma, he was swallowed up and died."

"This is why the world thinks that the red lotus karma fire is very powerful, because it is a magic weapon that can mercilessly devour even its owner. So gradually, people in extremely cold places discovered that the patterns that appeared when using the red lotus karma fire were not Because of the technique, he warned them not to leave the extremely cold place."

Shen Yebai fell into memories, no, or some fragments of memories.

In an extremely cold place with heavy snowfall, even those who wear fur coats and embroidered clothes and have youthful and gorgeous faces cannot hide the suffocating sense of decay in their souls that has been soaked by time. It seems that what is standing in front of you is not a person, but a statue. Antique in human form.

They have no desires or desires, and have no interest in power, money or power. Only when they talk about freedom will their eyes shine with fear.

"Chen Yebai" walked into them and saw the woman who was wearing a light blue velvet skirt and sitting in the corner with her child in her arms, mocking freedom.

The memory stopped abruptly.

"Seal..." Qin Moyu touched his cheek unconsciously. He thought of the remnant soul again. People who possess the Red Lotus Karmic Fire will be cursed, so every time he uses the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it will flash. Has his remnant soul been suppressing something for him?

Moreover, if the red lotus karma fire is really a warning, then they who were trapped in the extremely cold place by the barrier did not abandon themselves, but put their hope on themselves?

"In short, Mo Yu should use less red lotus karma fire. As long as I am here, I will protect you." Shen Yebai recovered from the memory fragments. He had no intention of telling Qin Moyu these things because he could not explain those memories. At the same time, he was even more afraid that Qin Moyu would hate him if Mo Yuan's identity was known.

In the past, he had never cared about the real or fake murders committed against him. Since gaining notoriety could help him realize his plan better, why not do it.

But now, Shen Yebai regretted it.

"I know, I will use it less in the future." Qin Moyu remembered what he saw in the Library Pavilion. The person who "disappeared" after using the Red Lotus Karmic Fire must have been because of the curse.

After receiving Qin Moyu's assurance, Shen Yebai breathed a sigh of relief, but he suddenly became worried about another thing: "Speaking of which...Mo Yu, didn't you buy that box at the Tengwang Pavilion auction house? Is it still with you now? Can you... …”

Shen Yebai hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to ask Qin Moyu for the box.

Judging from what the man explained, the importance of the box is definitely higher than that of Honglian Yehuo, but Qin Moyu was so pressing that day that he liked the box very much. He just said that Mo Yu would get everything he wanted. She brought it to him, but now she was asking him for something, which made Shen Yebai very frustrated.

Qin Moyu became extremely angry when he talked about the Tengwang Pavilion auction. He rambled on about the causes and consequences of that day, especially when Nan Xun took over his identity and was chased by Mo Yuan. He was really worse than Dou E. injustice.

"...I explained to him that someone was taking over my identity, but he just didn't believe me - well, I don't believe it even though it's me, but it doesn't stop me from being angry." Qin Moyu muttered.

Shen Yebai didn't even dare to tell Qin Moyu that he was Mo Yuan.

However, as long as the box is not in Qin Moyu's hands, it will be fine.

Faced with the red lotus fire that suddenly turned from a golden finger to a landmine, Qin Moyu was depressed for a while and then thought about it. It was better to be in potential danger than to have no support. In this case, he would have to work harder to practice spells so that he could have a skill at his side. .

"However, even if you are surprised, you can't directly touch the Red Lotus Karma Fire without precautions. If I hadn't reacted quickly, your hand might have been disabled." Qin Moyu complained and rummaged through the storage bag, looking for some medicine. Give Shen Yebai some treatment.

"At that time, I just wanted to test whether the red lotus karma fire was real. I was so anxious that I didn't think so much."

Shen Yebai pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, Mo Yu. Even if you don't apply medicine, it will be fine. It will be fine after a while."

Shen Yebai has been walking across four continents for so long, and has been on the line between life and death countless times, but he has persevered tenaciously, and this mere frostbite is really nothing.

But Qin Moyu's tossing and turning and earnest search for medicine still made his heart warm.

"Of course I know." Qin Moyu took out bottles and jars, looking at this and sniffing at that.

He said angrily: "But you are also a human being, you will feel pain and discomfort. You don't care, but I feel uncomfortable."

Qin Moyu confidently told Shen Yebai how much he valued him, and this concern left Shen Yebai speechless for a long time.

He has a special status. From the time he can remember, he has been in contact with either his subordinates or his enemies. They either fear, respect or hate him, but they just don't care.

Even that person is like this.

Over time, Shen Yebai forgot that he was also a human being, capable of pain, hatred, and unwillingness.

He was used to disguising and suppressing himself. Only in front of Qin Moyu did he find the feeling of being alive.

Qin Moyu searched for a long time and finally found the medicine to treat frostbite, and motioned to Shen Yebai to extend his hand.

Shen Yebai obediently handed his hand to Qin Moyu.

Qin Moyu lowered his head and concentrated on applying the medicine to him, not seeing the emotions surging in Shen Yebai's eyes.

In no mood.

I don’t want to leave Momo.

Even if...

Resist him...

Even if...

Shen Yebai half-cast his eyes, feeling more unwilling to accept his own existence than ever before.

at the same time.

In a cave listed as a forbidden area in the distant Imperial City of Nanzhou, a person sitting cross-legged on a futon slowly opened his eyes.
