The Forgotten Kingdom had once again regained its peace. It could even be said that it seemed a little deathly still.
Hundreds of cultivators with low cultivation levels gathered one after another. They were all worried and sad, which covered the entire place with a layer of dark clouds.
Standing on the beach, Yang Cheng silently lowered his head. His eyes were unfocused, as if he was thinking about something.
The cold seawater slapped against the corners of Yang Cheng's shoes and pants. A large area had already been soaked, but Yang Cheng didn't seem to notice.
At some point, Qiangwei quietly walked to Yang Cheng's side and gently pulled on Yang Cheng's hand.
"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed." Qiangwei asked with a sweet smile.
Yang Cheng slowly raised his head, and his voice was a little ethereal, "Darling Qiangwei, tell me … Am I doing the right thing?"
Qiangwei's gaze froze. She had known Yang Cheng for a longer time than any other woman. How could she not know what Yang Cheng was referring to? She seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "If you're serious about making a decision, you never ask for our opinions. Why are you asking me this time?"
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, "That's right, indecisiveness is not my style, but this decision is not only related to me, but also to you, everyone, so …" I really feel very confused. "
Qiangwei smiled calmly, "How about this, hubby, I ask you a few questions."
"Speak."
"Hmm... Are you afraid of the gods? "Including Athena."
"No." Yang Cheng shook his head, "There's no harm in telling you the truth. If I didn't have a few trump cards, how could I have gotten to where I am today? Although I might not be able to beat them, it would be very difficult for me to lose. "
"Then if you don't go, will you regret it for the rest of your life?" Qiangwei asked again.
"Regret …" Yang Cheng said blankly, "I don't know."
"Then if, in case you regret it, can you accept it?"
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "Of course I don't want to have regrets. But who can live a life without regrets? What I hope even more is that all of you can be safe."
"Hubby, do you really think that as long as you don't actively participate in the war between the humans and the gods, you can stay out of it?"
Yang Cheng was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Qiangwei sighed and said, "That's right. You can frown at thousands of people, you can ignore the hatred in everyone's eyes, but people are different.
Everyone here, except you, even Lanlan, your own flesh and blood, is a human through and through.
This time, it is a contest between the Protoss and the humans, and you are the key to the final outcome of the humans.
Regardless of whether the Protoss or the humans won in the end, if you didn't participate, it would mean that you would be viewed as an enemy by at least one of the parties.
If the Protoss were to lose, as one of the main gods, it would be wrong of you not to stand on the side of the humans.
If the humans were to lose, whether they were enslaved or slaughtered, they would all see you as a sinner, because everyone would think that you could have changed the situation, but you just watched the humans lose everything. "
"…"
Yang Cheng's mouth was half open, and he couldn't speak. He really hadn't considered this.
Although Qiangwei didn't finish her words, Yang Cheng already knew what the woman meant.
With his special role, it was impossible for him to take it for granted that he could stay out of this!
Yes, he didn't care about the hostility of the Protoss or the humans, but his family, the people around him, everything that was related to him, could he really stay out of it?!
Whether it was the humans or the Protoss, once they vented their anger, the consequences were not something he could absolutely control.
Not to mention others, the simplest example was Hua Xia's Yang Family. Any random cultivator could cause fatal damage. Did he have to protect everyone on the island?
Seeing the uncertain expression on Yang Cheng's face, Qiangwei smiled and held Yang Cheng's arm with both hands. She said firmly, "Don't worry, no matter what choice you make, at least us sisters will have no regrets. No one will care whether your choice is right or wrong, because … such a situation is not something you can control, is it?"
"No!"
Yang Cheng suddenly vetoed. He raised his head, and a pair of hawk-like eyes revealed a blazing brilliance.
"Qiangwei, this time you are wrong. Your man, I … have never liked a situation that I can't control …"
"Hubby, you …"
Qiangwei felt a throbbing in her soul, and she couldn't react. It was as if something had touched a nerve in Yang Cheng's heart that had detonated an explosive.
"I can't tolerate this going on so absurdly. No matter what it is, as long as my people are involved and threatened, they should be stopped. No one can stop me!"
After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he forcefully held Qiangwei in his arms, kissed the woman's ear heavily, and said "thank you".
The next moment, Yang Cheng had disappeared from the seaside and appeared outside the castle.
Lin Ruoxi was holding Lanlan's hand and was about to enter the castle when they were suddenly stopped by Yang Cheng. The mother and daughter and the other women beside them were a little puzzled.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath, bent down, hugged his daughter, and touched Lanlan's face.
Then, he stood up and said to Lin Ruoxi, "Wife, I …"
"Don't go!"
Before Yang Cheng could say anything, Lin Ruoxi had already resolutely shouted to stop him.
The woman's face was gloomy, and there was a rare look of anger on her face. Her cold eyes were bone-chilling, like the goddess of winter.
The other women were also shocked by Lin Ruoxi's expression and shout. When they realized what it meant, they all looked at Yang Cheng in shock.
Yang Cheng looked at his wife with a complicated gaze and said with a bitter smile, "I haven't said …"
"Even if you don't say it, I know what you're going to do. I won't allow you to participate in the battle." Lin Ruoxi said in a tone without any room for discussion.
Yang Cheng frowned. Although he could usually give in to his women, when he seriously wanted to do something, no one could stop him. He said directly, "Lin Ruoxi, I've decided. Take care of the child, I'll come back as soon as possible."
Lin Ruoxi's delicate body trembled. It was unknown whether it was because of anger or grievance. Suddenly, she stepped forward and grabbed Yang Cheng's wrist.
"Don't go, I beg you, for me, and for the child …"
Lin Ruoxi lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Yang Cheng's eyes at this moment.
Lanlan saw that her father and mother seemed to be about to quarrel. She bit her lip and widened her watery eyes innocently, not daring to say anything.
Yang Cheng seemed to laugh at himself. "Just now, I might have been a little hesitant, but now … I feel that I have to go. There are some things that I have to face sooner or later …"
Lin Ruoxi's hand that was grabbing Yang Cheng trembled and gradually loosened.
Yang Cheng exhaled and said, "I'm leaving. You stay at home … and look after the child."
After saying that, Yang Cheng pushed Lin Ruoxi's hand away and disappeared from the castle.
Lin Ruoxi's arm hung desolately. Her back was full of powerlessness and frustration. It was as if she had not let go of Yang Cheng's hand, but … everything.
