Chapter 295: How Many Tears Can the Old Feelings Bring?

"Fellow Daoist Huan, what you said is wrong. It is normal for men of our generation to have three wives and four concubines. Since you like them all and they are all interested in you, just marry them all. Why bother so much?" Helian Zhi felt that Huan Yin's idea was a bit strange when he heard that he had a childhood sweetheart. In his opinion, there was nothing contradictory about marrying Shu Shu.

After all, all the cultivators on the land of Jiuzhou came from the secular world, so many customs and styles are inherited from the secular world.

For example, marriage, polygamy is common in the secular world. Even Huan Yin's father, Duke Huan, married three wives and later took Huan Yin's mother as a concubine.

However, Huan Yin's idea was not known when it was established. The beautiful wish in his heart of "winning the heart of one person and wishing to stay together" was like his ambition, and it had never wavered.

So, Huan Yin smiled and said, "It's enough for me to marry one woman. If there are more, I'm afraid I can't handle it."

Hearing Huan Yin say this, Ji Cangqiong and Helian Zhi were stunned. They could all hear that Huan Yin seemed to want to be faithful to one person, and such an idea was really a bit strange to them.

"Brother Huan, I didn't expect you to have such a unique view on love, but if you insist, then according to your personality, you really won't be able to be with Miss Ruan Shushu. But, do you know that such an idea is also selfish?" Helian Zhi spoke again.

Huan Yin has always believed that being faithful to one person is to be dedicated to one person. After all, husband and wife are wholeheartedly devoted to each other and treat each other fairly, which is a beautiful thing. But how could Helian Zhi say that this is also selfish?

"I would like to hear more about it." Huan Yin said to Helian Zhi.

Helian Zhi took a big sip of wine and said, "If you are with that childhood sweetheart, it is equivalent to betraying Miss Ruan's love. She will be heartbroken and depressed. In this case, do you think it is good for her or not?"

Huan Yin also took a big sip of wine and sighed heavily, "This is why I have never told her all these years. However, I am afraid that she will fall more and more in love with me, which will be a great sin in the end."

"Brother Huan, what sin?" As soon as Huan Yin finished speaking, a gentle voice sounded behind him. It was Ruan Shushu who was speaking to him.

Huan Yin was startled and sobered up a little. He turned around and stood up and saw the beauty in front of him. He immediately took two steps back and asked, "Junior Sister Ruan, what's the matter?"

At this moment, Ruan Shushu's face was obviously drunk. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked more beautiful than usual. She said to Huan Yin: "Brother Huan, can you... accompany me for a walk?"

Before Huan Yin spoke, Helian Zhi stood up and bowed to Ruan Shushu: "We neglected Miss Ruan. Miss Ruan is new to my White Tiger Tribe and is unfamiliar with the place. We pulled your closest people here to drink and neglected Miss Ruan."

"Brother Huan, go accompany Miss Ruan and show her the vast stars and beautiful night scenery of our Far North."

Ji Cangqiong also reacted quickly: "Yes, I was busy drinking, but I didn't know that the most intoxicating thing in the world is the good time and beautiful scenery. Brother Huan, the three-day celebration has just begun, and there is no rush to drink. We will keep the wine for you here. You can drink it when you come back after accompanying Miss Ruan."

Their words were so obvious that Ruan Shushu lowered her head in shame. As for Huan Yin, he stood by with a stunned look on his face, watching his two brothers waving their hands to drive him away, feeling quite helpless.

Huan Yin smiled awkwardly and said to Ruan Shushu: "Junior Sister Ruan, let's go out for a walk."

...

The moon was high in the sky, and the stars were shining. Under the beautiful sky, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu walked side by side, slowly walking on the snowy plains of the Far North, and slowly walked towards the direction of the Holy Mountain.

Both of them were drunk, but fortunately they had a solid foundation, so they had no problem walking all the way. But neither of them spoke, and they walked silently.

Huan Yin's heart was naturally a little confused, especially in this state of being a little drunk, the contradiction in his chest was even more intense. So, he didn't know what to say, and seeing that Shushu didn't speak, his heart kept beating.

Suddenly, a pair of hands held his arm, and when the familiar feeling appeared again after many years, Huan Yin's heart couldn't help but tremble.

In the ruins of the witch clan, it was also these hands that held him with such a familiar feeling, accompanied him, protected him, and kept him alive.

Huan Yin looked at Ruan Shushu and found that Ruan Shushu was also looking at him.

"Brother Huan, shall we go sit on that hillside?" Ruan Shushu said with a slightly drunken and light tone, pointing to a small hillside at the foot of the holy mountain not far away.

Huan Yin nodded and walked over with Ruan Shushu.

This small hillside is really in an excellent location. Because it is covered, the snow is not thick. Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu cleaned it up a little and found a place to sit.

Not only that, when Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu sat on the hillside, they could take in the bright moon and the brilliant stars in the sky with a slight tilt of their eyes. In this way, resting while looking at the starry sky, even if they stay quietly for ten days or half a month, I am afraid no one will feel bored.

After Huan Yin sat down, his body and mind relaxed immediately, and the intoxication began to surge into his head. He looked at the beautiful galaxy in the sky, and suddenly felt that he had never been so relaxed and happy before.

He turned his head and looked at the beautiful woman beside him, and saw that she was looking at the sky with an intoxicated look on her face. She looked as moving as the fairy looking at the moon described in the book, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Junior Sister Ruan, you are so beautiful." Maybe it was because of the intoxication, or maybe Huan Yin had wanted to say this to Ruan Shushu for a long time. At this moment, Huan Yin was a little distracted when he looked at Ruan Shushu, and blurted out this sentence.

After hearing this, Ruan Shushu's whole body trembled. She looked at Huanyin shyly, then lowered her head and said faintly: "Then, brother, is there any woman in the world more beautiful than Shushu?"

Huanyin saw Ruan Shushu's shy face, and suddenly her appearance became more charming. With a sway in his heart, he said: "Of course not."

Ruan Shushu's shy face showed a sweet smile: "Then, brother, are you willing to be with Shushu?"

Ruan Shushu, a girl, could not say such words, because such words are too direct, usually said by men.

However, Shushu obviously likes Huanyin very much, and there has been no progress with Huanyin in the past ten years. I don't know what Huanyin means, and I am afraid that he is a little confused. Now that she is drunk, under this charming moonlight, when she is alone with Huanyin, she hears Huanyin's words as if he is talking about love. Finally, she can't help herself and asks the words just now.

The moment Huan Yin heard this, he seemed to see Lan Yu appear in front of him, looking at him with disappointment, saying that he was a heartless man.

So, he sobered up immediately, and his spirits were lifted. He was in a mess, regretting why he had said those nonsense just now.

Ruan Shushu lowered her head and waited for a while. She thought she would hear Huan Yin's affirmative words, or be directly embraced by him, but she didn't feel any reaction from the people around her, so she looked at Huan Yin with a puzzled look.

At this moment, Huan Yin's face was full of struggle and hesitation. He was no longer unable to help himself and intoxicated like before, which made Ruan Shushu feel inexplicably nervous.

During these ten years, Huan Yin had been hinting at her. In fact, with her intelligence, how could she not hear that Huan Yin had someone else in his heart and wanted to reject her. However, she was a beautiful fairy, and everyone in the world was chasing after her. Although she was never proud of this, she never felt that she could not compete with anyone and could not fight for her own happiness.

Therefore, she pretended not to understand Huan Yin's indirect attacks, just hoping to buy herself more time to let Huan Yin think about it. Little did she know that ten years had passed in a flash, and Huan Yin had never changed his mind.

Ruan Shushu saw that Huan Yin's current hesitation and struggle were all because of the woman in his heart. However, she still refused to give up, so she said faintly: "Does Senior Brother Huan not like Shushu?"

At this moment, Ruan Shushu's tone was already full of bitterness, how could Huan Yin not hear it? However, he always regarded principles as more important than life, so how could he let others say that he was a heartless man? Therefore, he hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't even say a word of "no".

Ruan Shushu looked at Huanyin with more and more disappointment and helplessness, so much so that tears were already falling from her eyes.

Not answering means rejection, isn't that obvious enough? Moreover, a woman like Ruan Shushu actually took the initiative to court a man, but failed in the end, how could she accept it?

Ruan Shushu could no longer suppress the disappointment and sadness in her heart. She suddenly stood up, covered her eyes with her hands, looked at Huanyin again, and ran towards the mountain.

Huanyin looked at the beautiful woman going away, and a voice kept echoing in his heart: "I lost her, I finally lost her. I rejected her, and she will never be with me again."

However, no matter how many times that voice was repeated, he watched Ruan Shushu disappear in his sight, but did not get up to chase her.
