Big Moon Ballad

"I……"

Ying Baoyue wanted to say something else, but Lin Shubai's serious expression made her shut up.

She let Lin Shubai pull out the door in silence, and Xiao Li Ji chased after her in a panic, "Sister..."

A bamboo basket flew towards him, Xiao Li Ji caught it, and stared blankly at the basket full of beans.

"Little brother, after peeling these beans, your mother will be back."

Lin Shubai dropped these words at the beginning, dragged Ying Baoyue and disappeared into the forest.

Ying Baoyue only had time to take a look at Li Ji who was sitting on the threshold peeling beans, and the next moment the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

Lin Shubai took her to the deepest part of the cloud forest.

There are towering ancient trees growing on all sides, covering the sky and the sun, with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

Lin Shubai dragged her directly to the tallest tree.

Ying Baoyue looked up at the tree with a complicated expression.

Just as the two of them walked under the tree, another tall woman in black suddenly flashed out of the void, her vertical pupils were full of doubts, "Shubai, what are you calling me in such a hurry?" ?”

Seeing this woman, Ying Baoyue subconsciously grabbed her wrist.

There was a blood line there that was aching.

Lin Shubai not only brought her under the tree alone, but also called Teng Snake.

It's just that the Soaring Snake that appeared in front of her at this time was the Soaring Snake that had not been deprived of its wings.

Compared with the Soaring Snake clone who traveled with them before, the aura of this black-clothed woman with vertical pupils was colder and deeper, exuding a terrifying majesty.

Lin Shubai dragged Ying Baoyue in front of Teng Snake, raised his arms, as if he was about to hold a three-party meeting.

"Of course something serious happened." Lin Shubai's eyes were cold, and he pouted towards Ying, "Look at this child."

Ying Baoyue's scalp was numb, and she felt like she was holding a parent-teacher meeting.

Teng Snake brought her up since she was a child, and she is considered her half mother, which is why Lin Shubai suddenly called Teng Snake.

"Holding the moon? What's wrong with holding the moon?"

Teng Snake looked at Ying Baoyue suspiciously, and the snake's eyes suddenly widened, "Wait, you are..."

"You've been staying in Yunmeng Lake before, so close, didn't you notice anything?" Lin Shubai looked at Teng Snake with a bit of annoyance.

"No," Teng Snake gritted his teeth, "This girl probably set up a strong barrier."

"Forget it, she really wants to hide it, but there's nothing you can do about it. God Suzaku didn't respond at all." Lin Shubai was so angry that his chest heaved, "Ji Mo didn't tell me anything either."

Ah, it seems that in the short time just now, Lin Shubai not only notified Teng Snake, but also contacted Ji Mo remotely.

Ying Baoyue was a little dumbfounded, wondering if Ji Mo had been scolded.

But obviously now is not the time for her to worry about others.

"Say."

Lin Shubai's face was frosty, and he pressed her shoulder.

"what have you done?"

Ying Baoyue opened her mouth, and just about to say something, a warm current flowed into her body.

A more powerful true essence seeped into her limbs, repairing her damaged meridians.

"Master, no, I don't want your true essence..." Ying Baoyue took a step back abruptly, trying to get out of Lin Shubai's grasp.

However, Lin Shubai's palm was firmly stuck to her shoulder, and he stared at her expressionlessly.

"You don't want my true energy, so why don't you just let me watch you make yourself into this half-dead state?"

Teng Snake stood aside and sighed.

After meeting this pair of master and apprentice, the good beast god learned to sigh.

"Yue'er, don't make your master angry, just explain it obediently."

Ying Baoyue smiled wryly, and she turned her head to look at the towering tree behind her.

"I didn't do anything, I just did the same thing as you."

She faintly understood why Lin Shubai brought her here.

This tree was exactly where Lin Shubai picked her up.

According to Lin Shubai, when she strayed into the depths of the cloud forest, she saw a swaddling baby hanging on this tree.

So Lin Shubai has always regarded this tree as her "mother", and every time she wanted to teach her that her body, hair and skin should not be damaged by her parents, she would bring her to this tree.

"Things I've done..."

Lin Shubai was stunned by the question, and when he came back to his senses, he was speechless, "I just saved you back then, but it didn't cost me my life."

Ying Baoyue didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly.

Lin Shubai couldn't make it up anymore, she was not good at words, after a moment of silence, she let go of Ying Baoyue's shoulders.

"You are like this, what are you going to do?"

"What else do I need to do?" Ying Baoyue smiled, "Anyway, I've already done it, neither dead nor retired."

"You're not dead," Lin Shubai gritted his teeth, "But that doesn't mean you're fine!"

"Do you know, in case your enemy finds you now..."

"Aren't you still here?" Ying Baoyue interrupted her, "If I'm really in danger, I will definitely ask you for help without any hope."

No matter where she is on this continent, she believes that her master will be able to rush to her side.

"But I can't protect you all the time!" Lin Shubai suddenly shouted at Ying Baoyue, his eyes were a little red.

Ying Baoyue was stunned.

She didn't notice anything at first, but now she realized something was wrong.

"Master," Ying Baoyue looked at Lin Shubai firmly, "What happened?"

Lin Shubai's reaction was a bit unusual.

She remembered Lin Shubai joking about her death before, and a bone-chilling chill completely enveloped her whole body.

It was she who forgot.

Now it was nine years ago, and there was only one year left before her death, and only two years left before Lin Shubai passed away.

Did she and Lin Shubai really not notice anything before they died?

impossible.

Ying Baoyue stared into Lin Shubai's eyes, and finally saw a trace of guilt in the eyes of the master who was good at hiding emotions.

"Nothing happened, don't you know?" Lin Shubai forced a smile, "Your master and I have so many enemies, maybe someone suddenly plotted against you that day?"

But how many people in this world can plot against you?
Ying Baoyue restrained her emotions, "Master, did something happen in court?"

Although he was only in an illusion, he did not return to the past.Ying Baoyue still couldn't help thinking, if she had chosen a different path back then, for example, instead of living in seclusion in the cloud forest, but staying in the court to help, would the ending eight years ago be different?
"Nothing serious happened," Lin Shubai's eyes flickered. "It's just that His Majesty has not been in good health recently, and the ministers mentioned that His Majesty should establish a crown prince as soon as possible. Your Majesty Long Yan was furious, and there was a lot of trouble."

Speaking of which, Emperor Ying's lifespan is only one year left.

Ying Baoyue's eyes darkened, "Master, do you need me to return to court?"

Lin Shubai was taken aback, "What did you say?"

Looking at her reaction, Ying Baoyue suddenly realized that the real her would not have said such things nine years ago.

At that time, her heart was ashamed, and she did not untie her knot in the forest of the dead.Even if he heard Lin Shubai mention the court affairs, he would never want to intervene.
