Su Mu's indifference made Du Ye choke on his words. Over the years, although Du Ye wanted to ease the relationship with Su Mu, Su Mu has always been resentful of Du Ye replacing his father Su Yan. This time

She won't even listen to his obstruction.

Ling Huayin looked at the two people who were at war with each other and couldn't help but frown slightly and said: "I can't agree to this condition, otherwise I will harm you."

Su Mu opened his mouth, frowned and said hurriedly: "Why don't you keep your word? You just promised me!"

"I agreed to you just now because you helped us and we should repay you. If I don't agree now, I don't want you to die for it. It is moral." Ling Huayin said.

"Who said I would die? Do you think I am them? I am different from the monsters in this city." Su Mu sneered.

Ling Huayin looked at the stubborn young man, frowned slightly and said nothing.

Situ Yan stood up at this time and said to the young man: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

Ling Huayin looked at Situ Yan in surprise, and saw Situ Yan looking at the young man with a smile on his face.

At this time, Su Mu turned his gaze to Situ Yan, his gaze was firm, and he said without hesitation: "A man, what's the fear of death? Besides, life and death are fateful. Instead of being imprisoned here forever, I would rather go back to where I should be.

I want to see when God will take away my life."

"Okay, since you are so ambitious, I will promise you on behalf of Linghua." Situ Yan agreed without hesitation.

Ling Huayin couldn't help but shout: "Situ Yan, you haven't asked for my consent yet! How can you make the decision for me without permission?"

But she saw Situ Yan smile at her, touch her head tenderly, and say something in her ear. Ling Huayin, who was still a little annoyed at first, immediately lowered her head because of his ambiguous move.

There seems to be an intention to compromise. Even others can see that the relationship between the two is somewhat unusual.

Ling Huayin remained silent, and soon Su Mu spoke: "As long as you take me away from the Sea of ​​No Return, then what I just said will count. Come with me, I think there is a place where I will find the one you are talking about."

People." After saying that, Su Mu turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, are you going to take us across this desert on foot like this?" Situ Yan said with a smile behind him.

Su Mu stopped and turned to look at Situ Yan with a smile on his face.

"If you don't mind riding the same horse with me, we can go faster." Situ Yan suggested.

"Are you really going to take Su Mu away?" Du Ye glanced at Su Mu and asked.

Situ Yan smiled slightly and said, "Master Du, don't worry. Since I dare to take him away, I will definitely find a way to save this child."

After hearing this, Du Ye looked at Ling Huayin again. Seeing Ling Huayin nodding, he said: "I hope what you said is true, but this child...has no relatives in the human world..." Du Ye frowned

A flash of worry passed through.

"If this child is willing, we will be his relatives." Ling Huayin said.

Su Mu hugged his arms impatiently, looked at the three people who were talking to themselves and said, "Are you guys done yet? Are you leaving?"

Du Ye said goodbye to Ling Huayin and Situ Yan: "I can't leave the City of Fantasy, so I can only send you here. Sumu will leave it to you for the rest of the way. If anything happens, please feel free to come find me."

Me." After saying that, he took two steps closer to Su Mu, as if he wanted to say something to say goodbye, but when Su Mu turned his head and looked away, he finally didn't say anything.

Su Mu walked quickly towards Situ Yan's horse without saying a word.

"It seems we have another little friend on the road." Situ Yan smiled and extended his hand to Su Mu as a sign of friendship, but Su Mu just gave him a sideways look and touched Situ Yan's hand coldly with the back of his hand.

, and jumped onto the horse's back with great agility.

Situ Yan, who was still smiling at first, suddenly changed his face as soon as he touched Su Mu's hand. He frowned and put his right hand on his forehead with a painful expression. Ling Huayin was shocked to notice his change and walked away quickly.

He stepped forward and asked with concern: "Situ Yan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

Situ Yan rubbed his eyebrows with two fingers, soothed himself a little, and said to Ling Huayin: "Somehow, some strange pictures suddenly flashed through my mind just now, which seemed to be my previous memories."

Ling Huayin quickly asked: "What did you remember?"

Situ Yan shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet. Let's go find someone first and talk about this later."

Seeing Situ Yan's worried look, Ling Huayin suddenly felt worried, but she had to put aside her doubts when business was at hand.

After saying goodbye to Du Ye, they began their journey across the desert under the leadership of Su Mu. Along the way, Su Mu, who had not spoken to anyone for many years, seemed to suddenly open up the conversation and asked about Ling Huayin.

He seemed to be quite interested in her, a stranger whom he met for the first time and fell in love with at first sight.

"Hey, how old are you?" Although it seems impolite to ask someone how old they are when they meet for the first time, Su Mu is not very good at communicating with others and just asks whatever comes to mind.

Fortunately, Ling Huayin didn't mind and replied calmly: "More than a hundred years old."

Su Mu looked surprised and said in disbelief: "You look only 20 years old. Are you the immortal that my father told me will never grow old?"

"A hundred years ago, I transformed into a fairy."

Su Mu asked again: "Then which immortal family are you from?"

"Zhonghuang Mountain, Xianze Palace."

Su Mu looked envious, "I once heard my father mention it when I was a child. I heard that there are three palaces in your Imperial Mountain, Wa Palace, Xianze Palace and Yushu Palace, which respectively protect the three sacred artifacts passed down by the three emperors. Xianze Palace

The palace is guarding one of the sacred weapons, the Black Soul Sword."

Ling Huayin glanced at him and asked casually: "I see you are young, why isn't your mother by your side?"

Su Mu replied: "I don't have a mother. My mother passed away after giving birth to me. I have always been dependent on my father."

Ling Huayin was silent for a while, turned her head and continued to look ahead, and said softly: "Sorry, I asked too much."

"Why are you sorry? I don't have any memory of my mother, so you don't have to worry that I will be sad because of it." Su Mu said nonchalantly.

Seeing that Ling Huayin was silent again, Su Mu glanced at her secretly and suddenly said: "Hey, don't think I'm young now. In fact, I'm almost a hundred years old, not much younger than you."

Ling Huayin turned to look at him and said calmly: "Even so, you are still my descendant. Don't keep yelling. According to seniority, your mother and I are about the same age."

Su Mu grinned, "My mother? The most troublesome thing in the human world is seniority! Then what did he call you?" Su Mu blinked and pointed at Situ Yan behind him.

Ling Huayin looked at Situ Yan, who was sitting behind Su Mu, and found that he looked distracted. He hadn't spoken a word during the whole journey, which was very unusual. Ling Huayin said: "Situ Yan and I are the same generation, and we usually treat each other as

The name matches."

"Then I will also call you by your first and last name." Su Mu did not wait for Ling Huayin's consent, but decided on his own.

"...It's up to you." Ling Huayin was too lazy to argue so much with a child who was isolated from the world.

After receiving the permission, Su Mu immediately beamed with joy and pointed to the oasis in front of him: "We are ready. The land ahead is the land of illusion. If humans or monsters from the human world do not have enough cultivation to get lost in the illusion, most of them will

They will stay here until one day they can get out of the illusion in front of them, or someone rescues them from here, otherwise they will stay here forever." With that, Su Mu pulled the reins of the horse.

The horse stopped, his eyes darkened, and he said to Ling Huayin: "Not many people can get out of the land of illusion. Even if they get out, they will die of thirst and starvation because they are lost in the storm of the Sea of ​​No Return.

They were buried under the yellow sand forever. Throughout the ages, there is no exception. Ever since I became a sea-crosser, I have never seen a single person cross the Sea of ​​No Return."

"The place of illusion... also means the place of illusion. If you insist on one thought, even if you know it is an illusion, you will still choose to believe it." Ling Huayin suddenly sighed.

"You can't get what you can't get no matter how hard you force it. Obsession is just the self-deception of stupid people." Su Mu was a little disdainful.

At this time, Situ Yan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "Those people come to the sea of ​​​​no return just to go to the Fantasy City to seek the art of eternal life?"

"Not necessarily. Many people don't know about the art of immortality or even the existence of the phantom city. Most of them are people or monsters who come to the sea with no return, either in search of hopeless things, or they wander in by mistake, and there are you

Such." Su Mu replied.

"In the fantasy realm, you can achieve things you cannot achieve and see what you want to see. As Du Ye said, this is another form of dreamland. I don't know what Bai Yi is doing here?" Ling Hua

Yin muttered.

"Let's go to the city for a walk." Su Mu said and took the lead to walk forward.

The three of them came to the oasis in the desert, and saw that it was very different from the Fantasy City. After entering the town, they saw that most of the people on the street had gray hair, chaotic eyes, and walked like wandering ghosts. Occasionally, they saw a few younger people.

, also talking to himself in the air.

Su Mu was not surprised and explained: "This is different from the Fantasy City. People will age naturally just like in the human world. These young people are new here."

Ling Huayin observed the people around her as she walked and asked, "Can people here still hear us?"

Su Mu stopped and said, "You might as well give it a try."

Ling Huayin walked towards a woman not far away with doubts and asked: "Auntie, have you ever seen a young man wearing similar clothes to me?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head to look at Ling Huayin, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "Girl, I have never seen the person you mentioned, but if you can help me

Maybe I will tell you a secret about that person."

Ling Huayin frowned slightly and blurted out: "Secret? What do you want me to help you with?"

The woman glanced at Situ Yan beside her and said mysteriously: "I have a daughter in my family who is beautiful and good at embroidery. She is only 17 years old, but she has never found a good family. I see these two girls.

My friend has a handsome appearance and a strong body, but the one next to him is too young. I think this young man is very attractive to me, but I wonder if he is a match for him?"

Ling Huayin's face turned red and she glanced at Situ Yan, not knowing how to reply.

With a smile on his face, Situ Yan replied to the woman: "I'm not married yet, and my family is also urging me hard. I wonder if Madam would like me to meet your daughter? If we are in love, it will be regarded as a blessing from God.

What a kindness."

Ling Huayin's eyes widened immediately, unable to believe that this was what Situ Yan said.

The woman was overjoyed and said with a warm smile: "That's what I meant, that's what I meant. My house is at the end of the alley. Master and two other friends, please come with me."
