Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 22 The Final Sound of the Bone Flute
Inside Jufengli, the north wind was howling, as if it was crying and complaining about the upcoming changes.

Linghu Shenyi pushed open the door, but saw only an empty room. His heart sank immediately and he walked quickly into the room. The bed was still warm, but the person was gone.

"Bone flute, not good!" Thinking of what he had said before about the love murder, Linghu Shenyi did not dare to delay and immediately turned around and walked out of the room. However, in the courtyard, his eyes were reflected in that sad and beautiful red. But for some reason, although he clearly saw someone, Linghu Shenyi's uneasiness became more and more intense.

"Fan Qiliang, where did you go just now?" Linghu Shenyi asked.

"Don't you already have some guesses in your mind?" Fan Qiliang was unusually calm at this moment, which made Linghu Shenyi feel something was wrong.

"There's a pawnshop!" Linghu Shenyi frowned, "They've come looking for you too."

Fan Qiliang smiled and shook his head, "You are wrong, Linghu Shenyi, it wasn't them who came to me, but I who came to them. Anyone with desires will have the opportunity to enter there."

"then you……"

"Prepare the tea." Fan Qiliang brushed off her dress lightly and said calmly, "It's been a long time since I had tea made by you."

"...Okay." Linghu Shenyi looked at Fan Qiliang in front of him. She seemed both strange and familiar. In a trance, he seemed to see some shadows of the past in the woman in front of him.

The small stove was lit, and Linghu Shenyi took out a box from the room. He opened it carefully and took out one piece of tea set after another that had been covered in dust for a long time.

"I can't believe you still have this thing."

"After all, it's a gift from an old friend, how can I bear to throw it away?" Linghu Shenyi said as he began to make tea. Perhaps because he hadn't made tea for many years, his movements seemed a little unfamiliar and stiff. Fan Canliang didn't urge him, but just watched quietly.

The fire roared, emitting waves of fragrant aroma. The two of them faced each other in silence, which seemed to be somewhat harmonious.

After a while, Fan Qiliang finally asked first, "Where's Xian girl?"

Linghu Shenyi looked at the fire and replied, "The affair between the love murder and the pawnshop transaction was exposed. Qin Juexian was heartbroken and left, and the love murderer pursued him."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qiliang smiled and said, "Xian girl, you may be innocent, but you don't know the truth that if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. If Xiangsihai had made up with Qingsha at the beginning, things wouldn't have developed to this point."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Shenyi simply shook his head slowly: "Everything was decided by me out of passion, and Qin Juexian was also a victim."

Brothers perished at the hands of an ominous sword. Linghu Shenyi, for his only flesh and blood, thought he had done everything he could, yet he never imagined things would still escalate to this point. A man who thought he had left room for maneuver, ultimately left with nothing.

After a sigh, Linghu Shenyi pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Fan Qiliang. Looking at the red-clothed woman in front of him, he slowly said, "You've gone the wrong way in your passion for love. I don't want to see anyone else get hurt by that pawnshop. Now's the time to turn back, Fan Qiliang."

"Look back?" Fan Qiliang laughed out loud when he heard that, and took a sip of the tea in the cup. Fan Qiliang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Linghu Shenyi, "Linghu Shenyi, do you think I'm your stupid nephew? Gu Xiao has been roaming the martial arts world for so many years, and I know what he wants better than you."

Hearing Fan Qiliang say this, Linghu Shenyi raised his head, his eyes filled with complex expressions: "It seems that you have already made a deal with that pawnshop."

"Of course." Fan Qiliang put down the teacup. There was no regret in his eyes, only endless pleasure.

"When I learned from the pawnshop that He Changling had pawned his love in exchange for the power to kill me, I understood that in his heart, I had ultimately won. Naturally, I must completely and completely satisfy his hatred for me."

Linghu Shenyi was speechless, staring at Fan Qiliang. While he appeared calm, he was likely completely mad inside. "What did you pawn? What did you trade?" Linghu Shenyi asked in a deep voice.

"Pawn?" Fan smiled sadly and charmingly, "I'm not that brat. Now that I have what I want, I'll naturally choose to put everything on the line."

"All? You!"

"Why are you so surprised, Linghu Shenyi?" Fan smiled sadly, without any regret or remorse on his face.

"Human desires, how difficult it is to achieve what one wants and wishes. Now that the road to heaven is before us, how can we not do it? Being able to pay a small price to achieve what we want in our hearts, you and I have both been in the martial arts world for many years, we should know how worthwhile this deal is."

"The more tempting something is, the more likely it is to be poisonous. Linghu Shenyi will never agree to such a practice of using human nature as a bargaining chip. You..."

Linghu Shenyi was interrupted by Fan Qiliang's laughter before he could finish his words. The two looked at each other, and after a moment, Fan Qiliang pushed the teacup in his hand in front of Linghu Shenyi.

"Linghu Shenyi, why are you being so pretentious? Fan Qiliang isn't telling you this to gain your approval, nor to gain your sympathy, nor to seek your consent. It's just that time is limited, and it's a rare opportunity to find an old friend to chat. Now that the time has come, it's time for me to leave."

"Fan Qiliang..." Linghu Shenyi looked at the blood-red dress in front of him and sighed for who knows how many times today. Why did the gentle lady from the past become like this now?

"By the way, I don't like to owe favors to others, so after I leave, the poor old woman will come back as a way to repay the kindness of Xian girl and you. However, the old woman only has half of her soul left, so you must guard Qin Juexian and Qingsha well. If she ends up sitting in that pawnshop again, even the gods won't be able to save her."

"What?" Linghu Shenyi was shocked when he heard what Fan Qiliang said. Feng Ma also went to the pawnshop to pawn her things, and Fan Qiliang exchanged his own pawned things for Feng Ma.

"Fan Qiliang, you." Linghu Shenyi wanted to say something else when a bell suddenly rang in the room.

"Oh, it looks like my time is up."

When Fan Qiliang heard the bell, he stood up with a smile. Just as Linghu Shenyi was about to reach out his hand, a gust of wind and sand suddenly blew up in the room, blocking his five senses and six perceptions.

Linghu Shenyi immediately used his true energy to try to break through the wind barrier in front of him. However, the power of the wind barrier was beyond Linghu Shenyi's expectations. The master swung his sword, but it was completely swallowed up by the wind and sand. When the wind and sand dissipated, Fan Qiliang had disappeared without a trace, and opposite Linghu Shenyi, sat an old man with only half of his soul left.

There was also a broken Jinghuan Xiao on the table...

"Linghu Shenyi, when Xiao Ling'er dies in the future, please bury this famous Jinghuan Xiao along with the leather drum he carried with him in the twelfth level of the Heaven of Love. This will be your token of gratitude for saving this old woman."

Fan is desolate...

The person disappeared without a trace, leaving only a broken piece of the flute, silently telling of the person's existence.

And at this moment, a roar echoed in Jufeng!

At the same time, inside a pawnshop, Li Xuanxiao raised his hand and put the pawned items into the pawnshop system. After a series of Tongbao points went in and out, the aura around Li Xuanxiao became more and more profound and unfathomable.

"This farce of four people is about to come to an end. Calculating the time, the first employee of the pawnshop, you don't have much time left to move around freely."
