Chapter 1273 Persuasion

Looking at the backs of Feng Bujue and Lin Yan going away, Xu Huaishang let out a long sigh.

Then, she restrained her fighting spirit, looked at Juanmeng and Bi Laoshi, and said: "You two... do you want to go to the tavern for dinner together?"

"Huh?" Juanmeng was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect... Xu Huaishang, who was just an "opponent", would ask this question.

"I guess there is still a while before the end of the script, but this time is probably not enough to complete the side quests, so..." Xu Huaishang saw the other party's doubts, so he added another sentence.

At this point, Juanmeng seemed to understand it a little bit belatedly.

If "Heyang Xinci" still allows players to maintain the fantasy of "one or two people can fight", then Lin Yan is at the level of "even if a strong five-man team comes, it may be wiped out".

As long as Feng Bujue stays near Lin Yan, even if Xu Huaishang, Juanmeng and Bi Laoshi join forces to assassinate... the chance of success is very small.

But if he doesn't kill Brother Jue, then in an hour, he can win the script through the "main quest".

In summary, Xu Huaishang and his team now have an extra hour of "junk time in the script". This time... is definitely not enough to do the side quest, but if you force yourself to quit the script, you will have to accept the punishment.

So, the only thing left to do... is to play soy sauce.

Anyway, an hour is not a long time, and it is not enough to be judged as a passive game in this long-term script with "days" as the time unit.

"Ah... that's right." After thinking for a few seconds, Juan Meng scratched the back of his head and said, "At this point, even if we fight to the death... it's meaningless."

"That's not necessarily true... If you really want to make full use of the remaining time, we can also go to a place with fewer people and fight a few moves without hurting each other's lives..." Xu Huaishang said, "This way you can more or less brush up some skill points, but... I personally don't like that approach."

"Oh... that kind of gameplay, I used to work overtime to do this when I was in Corpse Blade." Juan Meng shrugged and said, "In fact, the efficiency of obtaining skill points in that way is not high... Although the Dream Company does not explicitly prohibit the behavior of obtaining skill points in this way, the system has obviously greatly weakened the base of skill points obtained in this way. In my personal opinion... it's better to match an opponent who really hits you faster."

As he spoke, he put the [Chonglou] on his shoulder into his bag.

For Juan Meng, it didn't matter if he lost the script; because he had used the previous day and night to do several side quests and a hidden mission outside the town, and this [Chonglou] was also obtained through the mission.

He dared to rush out and confront the two Zhan Guos head-on, also out of this "even if I am killed out of the script, it's not a loss" mentality.

"Anyway... let's eat and talk." Juan Meng said this, looking at Bi Laoshi beside him, which was asking Lao Bi's opinion.

Bi Laoshi was originally a soy sauce king, and his teammates agreed, so he followed: "Ah, good, good." He agreed with a silly smile, and was still thinking happily in his heart-I'm really lucky today, I can eat at the same table with Goddess Xu, um... although it's in the game.

…………

Soon after, outside Linlu Town.

Although the road is a big road, there are not many pedestrians on this road today.

There are only two people and a horse.

Although the two were traveling together, they kept a subtle distance between each other, as if they were not "walking together" but "just walking in the same direction".

"Since you want to rely on me for protection, why do you have to be wary of me at the same time?" After a long silence, Lin Yan was the first to speak.

"Hehe... I saw it." Feng Bujue smiled embarrassedly.

"I saw a lot of things." Lin Yan paused, and then said, "The 'deal' between you and Wang Qiong is actually about that sword manual, right?"

"That's right." Feng Bujue nodded and said bluntly, "I promise that as long as he cooperates with my actions, I will hand over the 'Sword Dance Grass Notes' with both hands afterwards."

"But I think... you will not fulfill this promise." Lin Yan continued.

"It's not that I don't want to give it to him, but..." Feng Bujue thought that it didn't matter if he told Lin Yan this, "I might suddenly disappear and leave this world in a while; and I have to carry the 'Sword Dance Grass Notes' with me until a short time before I leave..."

"I'll give the sword manual to him for you." Lin Yan interrupted him before he finished speaking, "As a person, it's better to try to keep your promises."

"Oh, okay, if you don't mind..." Feng Bujue continued.

"No trouble." Lin Yan replied, "And... you still haven't answered my question just now."

Feng Bujue's attempt to change the subject failed, and he smiled again: "Hehe... Then I'll be frank, I'm on guard against you because..." At this moment, his smile was still there, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Actually, I don't believe... you 'want to go outside the pass and just happened to pass by this town'."

"Oh?" Lin Yan said, "Then in your opinion... why am I here?" She glanced at Brother Jue, "Did I come here specifically to save you?"

"I don't know about that." Feng Bujue also glanced at her eyes, "Or... tell me?"

"Humph..." Lin Yan lowered her head and smiled softly. The afternoon sun shone on her white hair and snow-skinned skin, creating a dizzyingly beautiful scenery. "The last time I saw you, I was actually already forty. How old are you, do you know?”

"I generally know something about it." Feng Bujue couldn't figure out why she suddenly changed the topic, but he didn't mind going along with what she meant.

"Well." Lin Yan groaned, and then continued, "I have grown up and lived in an abnormal environment since I was a child, so...although I was older than you back then, I was inexperienced in worldly affairs and inhumane. He is like a child in mind and temperament.”

"That doesn't match your appearance and age." Feng Bujue complained without thinking.

"Ha..." Lin Yan smiled knowingly and took it as a compliment, "Feng Bujue, I know... you and I are not from the same world. I also know that after that, the years you have experienced, It’s not nearly as long as what I experienced.” She paused, “In my eyes now… you look like a child.”

"According to your wishes...should I call you ancestor?" Feng Bujue continued.

"Look...that's how you are." Lin Yan said, "When someone says something you don't like to hear, don't want to hear, or are embarrassed to hear...you will beat around the bush and think of ways to argue with others."

"Then you should focus on the key points, ancestor." Feng Bujue proved with his actions that he probably can't get rid of this problem.

"I didn't have much to say. Ultimately... I don't know you." Lin Yan said, "I just see that you have something on your mind... something very heavy."

She was right, Brother Jue was indeed carrying huge pressure and burden in his heart.

The "gamble" related to the survival of all mankind, the dilemma caused by "destiny" and "twenty-three", as well as the future of the derivatives led by Root... All kinds of burdens that ordinary people can't even imagine, he has been Just carry it on your shoulders silently...

But his appearance in front of others was still the same.

People only saw him playing, laughing, getting angry, cursing, being foolish, mad, crazy, and mad, but they never saw him cry, be afraid, or really lose his temper.

Feng Bujue is also a human being. Regardless of his seal, he also has the right to fear and be afraid.

He has the right to be sentimental, he has the right to be indecisive, he has the right to be vulnerable, he also has the right to let others share his worries and stress, or to avoid those things and responsibilities that people are afraid to avoid.

But he didn't.

Because he is Feng Bujue.

Sometimes he himself feels as if he is the protagonist of a novel; he carries too much people's attention, admiration, speculation and fantasy, and in order not to let those expectations fail, he lives so tired and unhappy. reality……

Real people are ordinary, complex, and contradictory. Even if they achieve great things, there will always be a dark and humble side in their hearts.

What's sad, yet valuable at the same time is... Feng Bujue is not that kind of person, never will be.

"Although we don't know each other very well, you are my benefactor after all. As an elder who cares about you, I would like to advise you..." Lin Yan saw that Brother Jue did not raise any objection this time, so he continued, "Let all the people in this world There is no way to live a life that satisfies most people. Even if you can satisfy most people, it is still physically and mentally exhausted. So... sometimes, people might as well live a little selfishly and make themselves happy more than anything else. "

"Ha..." Brother Jue smiled bitterly after listening to Lin Yan's words, "My ancestor... you have been a Taoist for many years, and in the end you have realized such a 'broken jar, broken jar'-like philosophy of life... Is this really good?”

"Whether it's good or not...you won't know until you try it." Lin Yan responded with a smile.

Feng Bujue was silent for a moment, thinking for a moment, and then he spoke again: "You didn't answer my previous question." He seemed to be planning to end the current topic, so he paused for half a second and asked, "You showed up today. What is the real reason for Linlu Town?”

Lin Yan took a deep look at him, then sighed softly and replied: "One day ten years ago, a girl named Lu came to me and said to me, you will appear in Linyan today, ten years later. Lu Town, and... may need my help."

Before she finished speaking, Brother Jue's expression changed slightly. When he finished speaking, Feng Bujue immediately answered: "Lute?"

"Yes, it's Lute." As Lin Yan spoke, he suddenly stopped and activated a spatial ability similar to a "player's bag", which he took out from a subspace that Brother Jue couldn't see using the data perspective. "She asked me to tell you - 'Kongtong Seal can help you find those things you lost.'"
