"Our goals are the same, because you are me." Shen Mo is good at tempting.

Shen Yebai lowered his head, seeming to be in deep frustration.

Shen Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, feeling the depression coming from Shen Yebai, and felt that it was not serious that Shen Yebai concealed himself. After all, it was normal for his subordinates to have dissent, but he could always make them realize something. is the right choice.

In order to better control Shen Yebai, he decided to give Shen Yebai an irresistible reason: "As long as you complete the plan well, then there will be no need for Honglian Yehuo, and Qin Moyu will be safe, otherwise... once we plan If he fails, he will also be in trouble."

Shen Yebai knew that Shen Mo was right, so...

"I will complete the plan." Shen Yebai whispered.

Shen Mo nodded with satisfaction, that's right.

"But." Shen Yebai suddenly changed the topic and raised his head with a firm expression.

"I am Shen Yebai, not you Shen Mo."

Shen Mo didn't understand why Shen Yebai still bothered with such insignificant things: "I told you, there is no such person as Shen Yebai in the world."

His words were precise and full of confidence.

"But now." Shen Yebai looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"What do you mean?" Shen Mo frowned.

Shen Yebai knew the reason for his existence a long time ago - it was nothing more than to promote the realization of the plan on behalf of Shen Mo, who was born inconveniently.

Whether it was those like Zuo Mei who were afraid of him or those who hated him, what they saw was Shen Mo, not Shen Yebai.

During those days when he followed Shen Mo's orders and implemented his plans, he didn't know who he was. He didn't look like a human being or a ghost, and the world was so big that he couldn't find a place to live in.

——Until he met Qin Moyu.

When he was seriously injured, he thought he was going to die. He didn't want to die with the same face as Shen Mo, so he activated the formation and changed his face randomly.

The days of recuperating by Qin Moyu's side are Shen Yebai's most cherished memories. Only by being by Qin Moyu's side and being watched by Qin Moyu can Shen Yebai feel that he is a human being, a living person named Shen Yebai.

Not his substitute Shen Mo.

But the days of recovering from his injuries passed too quickly, and he had to continue to complete the plan under Shen Mo's urging.

But after he separated from Qin Moyu that day, he began to hate his identity.

There was always a voice echoing in his heart: If I were not Shen Mo, I would be Shen Yebai. Can I stay by Qin Moyu's side forever?

This voice was completely out of control since he met Qin Moyu again and after Guanlan Sect understood his intentions.

——I don’t want to leave Mo Yu.

This idea grew like a weed, and Shen Yebai even tried to hide Qin Moyu's Red Lotus Karma Fire from Shen Mo, which was the first time he violated "himself."

Although the matter was exposed, Shen Yebai had no regrets.

Only the memories with Qin Moyu are unique to Shen Yebai, and this feeling is unique to Shen Yebai.

"You actually know nothing." Shen Yebai said firmly.

"No, I..."

Shen Yebai interrupted him: "You don't know the memories I have with him, or my feelings for him, and I -"

He took a step forward, and his original dejection turned into the same mockery as Shen Mo: "I don't know about your memory either."

He was aggressive and asked the simplest question:

"How can we be considered one person when we are like this?!"

Shen Mo was stunned.

Splitting the soul to become another person was a forbidden technique he found in ancient books. In order to prevent the "soul splitting backlash" mentioned above, he deliberately did not give Shen Yebai all his memories and abilities, but only gave him Partly, he didn't expect that it was precisely because of this that Shen Yebai refused to admit his identity.

Shen Yebai thought of his chat with Qin Moyu that day, and asked, "Mo Yu, what do you think is a person?"

"Well, are you human?" Qin Moyu sat on the swing and swung his feet, swinging up and down, and said with a smile: "If you can run, laugh, eat, sleep, and have time to think about such a mess, aren't you a human? .

"I'm serious." Shen Yebai helplessly pushed the swing for him under Qin Moyu's bright eyes, and received a bright smile from Qin Moyu.

Qin Moyu held the rope of the swing tightly, feeling the gentle wind blowing on his face and the feeling of weightlessness when swinging, he laughed and said: "There is no standard answer in this world. There are beasts in human skin everywhere. Who can tell the difference?" Do you know whether it’s true or not? If you have to say..."

"I think, therefore I am [Note 2] ah——Ye Bai——"

Qin Moyu didn't take the question asked by Shen Yebai into his heart. He just suddenly remembered the philosophical quotes from his previous life. He felt that such philosophical questions must be answered with philosophical quotes, but he didn't want to think about how much this sentence brought to Shen Yebai. My heart was shaken.

This sentence stayed in Shen Mo's heart like a seed. When he suddenly remembered it when he had just fallen into self-pity, Shen Yebai realized that he had fallen into Shen Mo's trap from the beginning.

It's true that Shen Mo said that Shen Yebai was split from him, but Shen Yebai didn't exist just for Shen Mo.

From the moment Shen Mo decided to separate from Shen Yebai, Shen Yebai was already different from Shen Mo.

How could Shen Yebai be Shen Mo when he clearly had two memories and emotions that he didn't have?

After calming down from his self-pity, Shen Yebai quickly figured out Shen Mo's purpose. After all, to a certain extent, he was the person who understood Shen Mo best in the world.

"You keep emphasizing that I am you because you don't even think that I am you." Shen Yebai said calmly, suddenly feeling that Shen Mo was not as unfathomable as he thought, "You have never considered me As you, you don’t think I am you either.”

"Shen Mo, you have stressed so many times, are you trying to convince me, or are you trying to convince yourself?"

Silence, deathly silence.

Shen Yebai raised the corners of his lips. He had never had the upper hand in a confrontation with Shen Mo. This was the first time, and the person who gave him this confidence was Qin Moyu who was waiting for him to go back.

A fire ignited in Shen Yebai's heart, and he eagerly wanted to see Qin Moyu.

"I will help you continue to implement the plan - after avenging Qin Moyu."

After saying this, Shen Yebai turned around and left, leaving Shen Mo alone in silence.

After Shen Yebai left, Zuo Mei entered the box again, but did not speak and stood quietly aside.

Shen Mo was lying on his side on a long stone at some point, supporting his chin with his hand, and unconsciously stroking his hanging hair with his other hand: "Do you think he is right too?"

Zuo Mei heard everything clearly from outside the door, and she told the truth: "I don't know."

Soul splitting is a secret technique, and there are only a few people who can use it from ancient times to the present, let alone a situation like this where soul splitting questions the main body. Zuo Mei thinks that both of them are right.

On the one hand, Shen Yebai was indeed separated from Shen Mo, and on the other hand, their memories were indeed different and they were not the same person.

Shen Mo sighed quietly: "I thought this would happen when the soul was separated, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."

Shen Yebai didn't agree with his identity, but he actually persuaded Shen Mo and almost got Shen Mo involved.

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Mei couldn't help but worry: "Will the young master's words have any impact on the emperor?"

"How can I break through the great avenue if my soul is separated and my soul is incomplete?"

When Shen Yebai was separated, Shen Mo was inevitably affected and had to stay in seclusion for many years to stabilize his cultivation. If Shen Yebai really disagreed with the two of them from the bottom of his heart, the best result would be that Shen Mo's cultivation would stagnate, and the worst would be that Shen Mo's cultivation would stagnate. The soul is permanently damaged, the cultivation level regresses and even the body dies.

"This..." Zuo Mei opened her eyes slightly. She didn't expect this matter to be so serious.

"Your Majesty, do you need...?" Zuo Mei made a gesture with an obvious meaning.

If you really can't control Shen Yebai, the best choice is to get rid of Shen Yebai.

Shen Mo shook his head: "If he dies, I will be affected even more. But you don't have to worry too much -"

He turned to look outside the cave, looked at the clear blue sky and smiled softly: "It will solve this problem for me."

"After all, He really wants me to die."

…

When Shen Yebai found Qin Moyu, he was still reading the reward order.

"We got the news." Shen Yebai whispered to Qin Moyu, Qin Moyu nodded, and the two left Yunqi Tower quietly.

Qin Moyu noticed that someone had withdrawn Yu Lin's reward when he left. After changing his clothes, he mentioned this matter to Shen Yebai: "Did Yunqi Tower just withdraw Yu Lin's reward?"

Shen Yebai nodded: "Yes."

Just after he left the box, he asked someone to withdraw the reward order, and also asked not to release any tasks related to Qin Moyu and Yu Lin.

Qin Moyu frowned. The person who can withdraw the task is usually the person who assigned the task. Mo Yuan is so attached to the box, why did he suddenly withdraw the reward? Did he know something?

"Mo Yu." Shen Yebai took a deep breath and held Qin Moyu's hand tightly with complicated eyes.

Qin Moyu was interrupted by his actions and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Thank you." Shen Yebai said softly.

Qin Moyu was confused by his sudden thank you.

"Shh." Shen Yebai put his index finger in front of his lips.

His brows were soft and he smiled, "This is a secret."

Qin Moyu's eyebrows still had a hint of sadness, like a lingering cloud.

Shen Yebai wanted to heal this sorrow for him, and also wanted to protect him from worries for the rest of his life.

"But I swear, one day I will tell you everything." Shen Yebai and Qin Moyu intertwined their fingers.

"I will protect you," he said.

Even if he has to resist Shen Mo, even if he is his enemy, even if he is shattered to pieces.

Qin Moyu didn't know why Shen Yebai was suddenly so solemn, but he didn't ask any more questions. Since the death of his master, the only person he could rely on in this world was Shen Yebai.

"After taking revenge, let's come back and rebuild the sect." Qin Moyu looked in the direction of the sect with a touch of hope in his eyes.

"good."

They were like ships caught in rough seas, relying on each other to keep warm on the deck in the storm, waiting for the first dawn after the rain.

——Even if the road ahead is gloomy, as long as you are with me, I will have nothing to fear.
