Under the purple moonlight and the crashing of the waves, the young boy's whimpers grew louder and eventually turned into cries of pain.
It had been a year, but Tang Ling had never allowed himself to be sad.
It had been a year. He had made many new friends, traveled many roads, and seen a lot of the outside world.
However, he had no grandmother or sister.
Once upon a time, all he wished for was to live a peaceful life with them in Safety Sector No. 17. He wanted to eat simple meals, rely on each other, and sleep peacefully at night.
"You guys … come back!" Tang Ling screamed in his heart as he cried uncontrollably.
Tang Long looked at Tang Ling quietly with his fists clenched tightly. He had mixed feelings about not being able to face the past.
Did Draconic Twelve do something like this? Yes, Draconic Twelve did, so Tang Ling would never lie about it.
Tang Long thought about all the things that Draconic Twelve had done over the past few days. He remembered how Draconic Twelve turned into a monster in the end.
It was not just Draconic Twelve that he did not understand. He might not even know the entire Stardust Council!
Hmph, Young Master Long? The heir of the Stardust Council? Her past was getting more and more ridiculous compared to Tang Ling's sadness.
Tang Long's heart was also rippling with sorrow. His past life was like a show that someone purposely set up for him, but he did not know it.
The firewood made a crackling sound, and the flames danced, still exuding a strong sense of warmth in the night.
Tang Long stood up and walked to Tang Ling.
He wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say. Thousands of words came out of his mouth and turned into two words. "Don't cry."
Tang Ling wiped his tears and looked up. "You sure are a busybody! I like to cry! "
Tang Long frowned. "Smoking, drinking, and cursing. You've picked up a lot of bad habits over the years."
"What does it have to do with you?" Tang Ling raised a brow.
"I'm your brother!"
The words stunned Tang Long and Tang Ling. The sea breeze blew between the two of them, and the whooshing noise silenced everything.
"Hmph, you want to kill my brother?" Tang Ling grabbed his shirt and wiped his face. His expression was full of mockery.
Tang Long looked at the dark sea. "I'm sorry."
Tang Ling was quiet.
"I'm very ignorant. Just like how I didn't know Draconic Twelve was such a bloodthirsty person, maybe the Stardust Council is the same, but I don't know either.
"My life is boring. I don't have as much to tell as you do. "
"Ever since I can remember, cultivating, becoming the number one, and inheriting the Stardust Council have been my life.
"And there is only one reason for all of this. That is to surpass Tang Feng and prove how foolish it was for him to abandon me … "
"Yes, ever since I was young. Countless people told me that I was Tang Feng's abandoned son, a son he hated. He doesn't even acknowledge my existence. The whole world knows that Tang Feng has a son, and that's you. Although you disappeared mysteriously after that, people thought it was a form of protection. "Tang Long then turned around to Tang Ling with a calm smile on his face.
Tang Ling opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say at that moment.
"So, I've hated you for many years. I'm sorry."
"Forget it. It's fine." Tang Ling turned his head away awkwardly.
"I have a mother, but she's not as good as your uncle, aunt, and mother-in-law. She never hugged me. She only likes to observe me from a distance. Yes, observe me. Can you imagine how a mother would observe her son? It's like observing a work of art.
If I perform well, she'll think that I'll be stronger than Tang Feng in the future, and she'll be happy. Otherwise, she'll hate me. "
As he spoke, Tang Long also lit a cigarette.
"You smoke and drink too, don't you? You're a bad person, aren't you?" Tang Ling glanced at Tang Long and grumbled.
Tang Long squatted down and looked at Tang Ling. "Do you believe me? It's all because of you! "
Tang Ling pouted.
Tang Long mocked himself. "Yes, I remembered it wrong. It's not like she never hugged me before, but there was one time. Why? I can't remember. All I remember is that she hugged me for less than ten seconds before she remembered something and strangled me.
"I felt wronged. But that time, I wanted to prove something, so I stubbornly didn't struggle. I just looked at her. I wanted to see if she would really strangle me to death. She didn't. In the end, she threw me to the ground. "Tang Long looked at Tang Ling and took the bottle from his hand to take a sip.
"That's because you asked for it." Tang Ling suddenly said, "If I had a mother by my side, I'd try my best to hold on to her."
Tang Long was stunned. Was this his little brother? They shared the same bloodline and shared the same feelings?
He did want to hold on to her, the woman he never understood, the woman he called his mother.
Even though he had never felt her love, he still wanted to hold on to her.
But he still wanted to catch her because she was his mother, wasn't she?
Tang Long's eyes turned red as he lowered his head and said, "Yes, I asked for it. It didn't matter how much she despised me. Unfortunately, even so, I couldn't hold on to her. She disappeared.
After that, I only had one godfather in my life. I didn't even see his face. Then, I had a master named Qi Dou.
"I grew up with them. After that, the Stardust Sixteen, who were still kids, appeared. The people around me told me that the kids would follow me and become my first batch of men.
"Because Tang Feng has the Dragon Army, right? Shouldn't I … "Tang Long did not continue. He realized that his life was not all drama. The only truth was Tang Feng, and he was comparing himself to him in every aspect.
"But I can't face them. I'm afraid that I'm just a chess piece in my godfather and master's hearts.
As for the Stardust Sixteen, I never knew them. They didn't grow up with me either. Look, Draconic Twelve is such a bloody monster, and I don't even know him.
"As for me, I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm going to a place where death is certain. Before I leave, I realized that the only person I can face is you. In your heart, I'm not a chess piece. You're facing me with your own eyes … "
"I know everything now. You told Higan that you don't want it. Your ring … "Tang Long placed his hand on Tang Ling's shoulder and gripped it tightly.
"Take it away. Are you pretending to be touched? " Tang Ling glanced at Tang Long and sounded rather displeased. He then looked up at the sky. "You want me to be so touched that I'll die for you when you call me big brother? That's impossible."
"I just think that Tang Feng is being unfair to you. I might not like him, but I've received his kindness, haven't I? Since we're both his sons, I should repay him for the sake of fairness. "
"Because of that, I can't do it."
"But I did, didn't I?" Tang Long sat beside Tang Ling. Just when he wanted to say something, Tang Ling interrupted him, "What kind of place are you going to? If you want to die that badly, why don't you jump into the sea? "
"Do you want me to die that badly? I'm not going to die! "Tang Long looked at Tang Ling in amusement." It's Elder Black who wants to bring me there. I don't want to know the reason. Without hatred, I feel like my life is empty. I want to find something to give my life some meaning. Maybe a journey of death will help me understand something.
That's why I'm here to bid you farewell. I don't know what to say to you. Now that we've talked, I know what I want to say. "
"What do you want to say?" Tang Ling looked at Tang Long.
"First, if I die, you can remember that you have a brother. It's not that you've acknowledged me, but I've acknowledged you. "Tang Long's gaze was serious.
Tang Ling's heart suddenly sank. It was not a heavy feeling, but when the word 'brother' was added to his heart, it suddenly became heavy.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Tang Ling pouted.
"Second, I want to find the meaning of my life. You must find it too. "Tang Long's eyes were filled with moonlight, looking serious and serious.
"What meaning of life?" Tang Ling lowered his head. He was right. After taking revenge, Tang Ling felt like he was emptied.
Even though he still had a lot of people he cared about, like Su Siao who was still frozen, Higan, and his friends, there was still a hole in his heart.
How did Tang Long know so much?
"You don't have to hide it from me. I'm your brother."
"You really know how to take advantage of me."
"We are similar because we are both Tang Feng's sons. Our lives are lacking him, so we're like little monsters that he created. Even after you took revenge, your grandmother and sister won't be back. You'll lose your support, so you must find it. That's the meaning of life, understand? "Tang Long patted Tang Ling's shoulder with a relieved smile on his face.
"Can I not go? Aren't we supposed to be a pair of prides? Shouldn't I … Shouldn't I fight all the time and grow up? "Tang Ling suddenly muttered softly.
"No, I can't. Fighting with you can't be my motivation anymore. "Tang Long passed the wine to Tang Ling.
He suddenly asked, "Am I your brother?"
"Did you get the date of birth wrong? Am I actually your brother? "Tang Ling asked in a serious tone.
"Do you want to get beaten up?"
"I'm not afraid of you. You can't beat me! "
"Take care of Higan."
"What?" Tang Ling was stunned.
Tang Long looked at Tang Ling with a serious expression. "Higan used to be the meaning of my life. Do you know that? Unfortunately, she's free, so I can't put this burden on her.
"But, I will always like her. We are still young now, so maybe we still don't know what love is.
But one day, I'll come back and Higan will grow up. Higan will grow up and maybe she will understand when she grows up. "
"Before that, you must take care of her for me. Understand? My little brother. "
