Chapter 82(1/2)
Jiang Chaoge patted Yu Renshu on the shoulder: "You should think about it first, don't react in a hurry."
Yu Renshu nodded, buried his face in his palms, and rubbed it vigorously. The third prince, who used to be high-spirited and high-spirited, has experienced a series of changes. Although he is no less heroic now, he has a restrained and steady temperament.
He looked a lot, and there was always a trace of sadness between his eyebrows that could not be brushed away, adding a melancholy to his handsome face. He sighed: "Let me... be quiet."
Tianrong stood aside with his arms crossed and whispered: "If you want to find him, I can try."
"Do you have any idea?"
"There is some scent of him left in the courtyard, which has not completely dissipated. Maybe I can find him by following the scent."
Zuiyou said: "After so many days, that taste...is difficult."
Jiang Chaoge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tianrong pinched Yu Renshu's shoulder: "If you want to find it, it won't be difficult."
Yu Renshu patted Tianrong's hand: "What Chao Ge said makes sense, let me think about it, you can go out first."
Seeing that he looked tired, everyone couldn't bear it and walked out one after another. Jiang Chaoge shouted and just stepped out of the threshold, Yu Renshu suddenly said: "Chaoge... you stay."
Jiang Chaoge was startled and retracted his feet.
Zhi Xuan frowned and looked at him. Jiang Chaoge winked at him and asked him to go first.
Tianrong slowly turned his head to look at Yu Renshu, his eyes dimming little by little.
Jiang Chaoge closed the door, walked back to Yu Renshu and sat down, looking at him quietly.
Yu Renshu sighed: "Actually, I know you are wary of my elder brother."
"Oh? How did you know?"
"You showed it when I was falsely accused of assassinating the Grand Imperial Master. You seemed to be more jealous of my elder brother than Yu Renkui."
"You are the only two brothers who have a conflict of interest with you. The murderer of the Grand Imperial Master has not yet been revealed. I suspect that he is reasonable."
Yu Renshu nodded: "Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about it... After growing up, the eldest brother and the second brother have changed. They are not like they were when they were young. I don't know if I have also changed in their eyes.
But I never thought about competing with them for the throne. Unfortunately, even if I have no interest in the throne, my existence will block their way. Being born in the royal family is really boring."
Jiang Chaoge said with a smile: "What you said is really irritating. There are so many people in the world who want to be a prince. You are really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes."
"Blessing? That's only twenty-four years of blessing."
"That's better than others not having a day at all."
Yu Renshu smiled bitterly and said: "For the blessings of these twenty-four years, I have to bear the injustice all my life. Is it worth it?"
Jiang Chaoge patted his shoulder: "This is your fate, just accept it."
Yu Renshu's shoulders shook, and he suddenly grabbed Jiang Chaoge's hand.
Jiang Chaoge was stunned for a moment, but did not move.
Yu Renshu exerted a little force on his hand. He looked up at Jiang Chaoge and said hoarsely: "Chaoge, you have been with me all the way from Tian'ao City to here. If you hadn't taken me away at that time, I might have been there now.
died."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "You are destined to be rich and noble, and God will never dare to accept it. Isn't this just God sending me down to help you?"
"You don't understand what you mean to me." Yu Renshu hesitated: "If it weren't for you, I might not have the courage to carry all this and come here."
"Shu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get here. I would probably have turned into bones somewhere." He felt quite sympathetic to Yu Renshu. Yu Renshu was a pure man, with a certain temperament.
He is courageous and responsible. Although he has some flaws in his character, it cannot hide his spirit. He admires such a person because he himself cannot be black and white.
Yu Renshu took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Chaoge with deep eyes without blinking, hesitated again and again, and said, "I have a question I want to ask you."
"Say." Jiang Chaoge felt Yu Renshu's hand tightening on his, a little painful.
"Did he force you to form a contract with Zhi Xuan like that?"
Jiang Chaoge was stunned. He didn't expect why Yu Renshu would suddenly ask this question. Haven't they been talking about Yu Renshu? He calmed down and tried his best to hide his embarrassment and said, "No."
Yu Renshu's voice increased unconsciously: "Did you do it voluntarily?"
Jiang Chaoge chuckled twice: "Is it weird?"
Yu Renshu's Adam's apple twitched up and down: "I...can't believe that a person like you, a childish and arrogant beast like Zhi Xuan..."
Jiang Chaoge felt that there was no need for the two of them to continue this topic. He thought that Yu Renshu should be able to understand. After all, Yu Renshu also had a soul beast that lived and died together. Maybe Zhi Xuan's performance was too unsatisfactory, so he stood up
Get up: "He is not as naive as you think. Moreover, we live and die together and are inseparable. I think there is nothing wrong with this. You have a good rest, I will leave first."
The moment Jiang Chaoge stood up and withdrew his hand, Yu Renshu stood up suddenly, grabbed his shoulders, and pressed him against the wall.
A trace of surprise flashed in Jiang Chaoge's eyes. Yu Renshu's movements were a bit rough, which gave him the illusion of being attacked. At that moment, he reflexively wanted to take action, but he held it back. He frowned and looked at Yu Renshu, feeling in his heart
I have a vague feeling of bad premonition.
There was also a hint of panic in Yu Renshu's eyes, and he took a deep breath: "Don't we live and die together, and are inseparable?"
Jiang Chaoge's eyes widened in surprise. He thought he was quite thoughtful. Could it be that he had always ignored Yu Renshu's other thoughts about him? He was obviously still not used to the "customs" of Tianling Continent.
Everyone took it for granted that people of the same sex should avoid same-sex feelings. If Yu Renshu fell in love with him for a long time, there seemed to be nothing to make a fuss about. It was just... He swallowed and gently pushed Yu Renshu away, his expression a little embarrassed.
.
Yu Renshu also lowered his head, his ears turned red: "I just... I just regret that I didn't tell you earlier that I had been attracted to you."
Jiang Chaoge calmed down and said calmly: "Shu, think about it carefully, the two of us are actually less suitable than Zhi Xuan and I."
Yu Renshu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "He is a beast, but we are both humans."
"Humans or beasts are not important. Zhixuan and Tianrong will accompany you and me until the last moment of our lives, but we may not love each other." Jiang Chaoge sighed, "Zhixuan and I are the same as Yu Renkui and Suhan.
Different."
"I know." Yu Renshu lowered his head in frustration, "But in my opinion, you are different from Yu Renkui, but there may not be any difference between Zhi Xuan and Su Han."
"Why do you think so?"
"They are alien beasts." Yu Renshu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how peacefully we coexist with alien beasts, no matter how spiritually connected we are, there are still two extreme differences between us: humans and beasts, life and death.
There will definitely be no happy ending in the end. Chao Ge, I'm worried that you have completely forgotten the existence of 'backlash'?"
Emotions flashed through Jiang Chao Ge's eyes, and he felt like he was being slapped in the face. If Yu Renshu hadn't reminded him, he had indeed forgotten. He had forgotten that when a soul soldier gave the soul beast too much soul power, the soul beast would slowly
Taking back control of the body, he even reversed the positions of the Soul Soldier and used the Soul Soldier's soul power to be reborn, while the Soul Soldier became a puppet that could be killed or not.
Jiang Chaoge now finally understands what Yu Renshu means. It's no wonder that Yu Renshu doesn't trust Tianrong as much as he does Zhixuan. That's because he was born in Tianling Continent and was educated as a soul soldier since he was a child.
When Yu Renshu grew up, he must have been taught all his life how to get along with and balance the relationship between mutual benefit and mutual defense with strange beasts. Under such circumstances, Yu Renshu would never be able to trust Zhi Xuan like him.
But he knew Zhi Xuan and knew Zhi Xuan's unique feelings for him, so he dared to invest his trust and affection in him. If he were Yu Renshu, he would also be on guard against the wild and unruly Tianrong and develop feelings for strange beasts.
The entangled soul soldiers feel incomprehensible.
Jiang Chaoge took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a little heavy, with backlash... Zhixuan absorbed enough soul power one day, would he also want to be reborn in the world? He is so proud, I am afraid he does not want to be a human summoner forever, and he also hates it.
Such a restraint. He felt a little uncomfortable, because he originally thought that he could trust Zhi Xuan wholeheartedly, but Yu Renshu's words made him, who had always been suspicious, come to a conclusion.
Yu Renshu looked at his changing expression and said softly: "You really didn't think of it, did you?"
Jiang Chaoge didn't want to admit it, but Yu Renshu had already seen through it. He had to nod his head and said helplessly: "Isn't it too far to worry about this? Doesn't it mean that it takes a long time for the soul beast to absorb enough soul power?"
"It is very long, but it is usually not as long as human lifespan." Yu Renshu said sadly: "In another two years, when I reach the strength of the sixth-level soul warrior, I will start to be in danger, and sooner or later you will too.
arrive."
Jiang Chaoge said solemnly: "I don't think Tianrong would treat you that way." He said this so naively that he was obviously not defending Tianrong.
Yu Renshu sighed: "Maybe not now, but how can I say for sure in the future? If it were you, would you be willing to be dominated by a creature that is much weaker than yourself for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Chao Ge Dan said: "Zhi Xuan is different."
"What's different?"
Jiang Chaoge opened his mouth, wanting to say that Zhi Xuan really liked him, but he felt that it would be a bit ridiculous to say it out loud. I'm afraid Yu Renshu wouldn't believe it, but that's what he thought. Since when did he start to believe in such an idealistic person?
Something? He shook his head, "I'm afraid you won't understand."
"The only thing I understand is that I can grow old with you. I understand all your thoughts as a human being, but Zhi Xuan cannot." Yu Renshu stared at Jiang Chaoge, his eyes so hot that they seemed to ignite the air.
Jiang Chao Ge looked at Yu Renshu without hesitation: "Shu, Zhi Xuan and I are far better than the soul soldiers and soul beasts. Can you understand that we will go on like this and I regard you as my dead brother?"
, but nothing else.”
Yu Renshu lowered his eyes in disappointment, his eyebrows knitted together, which made people look a little unbearable.
Jiang Chao Ge took a step back, then another step, and finally turned around and walked towards the door.
"Chao Ge, thank you." Yu Renshu whispered, "From the time you took me away from Tian'ao City to now, I owe you a lot of thanks."
"I also owe you a lot of life." Jiang Chaoge pressed his slender fingertips against the door and slowly pushed it open a crack. Suddenly, his movements stagnated: "Exactly, if it were the me before, I would never say this.
I would say, but now... you might try to temporarily forget about the 'backlash' thing, and then look at the relationship between Tianrong, the soul soldier and the soul beast, whether it is friendship or anything else, there may not be only one ending.
"
Yu Renshu was stunned.
Jiang Chao Ge pushed the door open and left.
