In less than a quarter of an hour, Tantai Cong walked in with a pot of tea and a smile on his face.
The tea was bitter, but it had a refreshing effect. After drinking a bowl of tea, Tantai Guang's expression became serious and he said, "Brother Wutian, can you promise me something?"
"Go ahead."
Tantai Guang said, "With Xianling's personality, if she knows that she's going back to the Ancestral Land alone with you, she definitely won't agree. So, I want to ask you to keep it a secret for now and tell her when we reach the Ancestral Land."
Tantai Cong nodded and said, "Yes! The little girl has lived with us for more than ten years and has a deep relationship. If she knows the truth, I'm afraid our good intentions will be wasted. "
Wutian took a sip of tea and frowned. It was indeed bitter, but after tasting it carefully, he found that there was a sweet taste.
This was just like how Tantai Cong and his father treated Tantai Xianling. On the surface, they wanted her to leave the home she had lived in for more than ten years and leave the family she had been with for many years. However, in reality, they cared for her and hoped that she could live longer, live happier, and see more.
Back then, his grandfather had done the same to him. He had made up a lie to deceive him, but in reality, it was all for his own good.
Wutian didn't answer and only nodded.
"Thank you for your help, brother!"
Seeing this, the father and son stood up and bowed. Tantai Guang smiled and said, "My three brothers, we will never be able to go to the Ancestral Land. Can you tell us about it? If so, our years of anticipation won't be in vain."
Although he said it with a smile, the melancholy on his face was obvious.
Countless years of anticipation only to be disappointed in the end. Tantai Guang and his father were open-minded, but they couldn't help but yearn to know what the Ancestral Land was like.
They chatted for the whole afternoon. Seeing that it was getting late and Zhang Ting still hadn't returned, Wutian couldn't help but worry.
"You guys talk first, I'll go out for a while."
Wutian walked out of the house and flew up into the sky. Immediately, a series of exclamations came from below. The little ones of different sizes opened their eyes wide and looked up curiously.
"That white-haired brother can fly! What a powerful feeling. "
"Truly amazing. This is the first time in my life that I've seen someone capable of flying."
"He seems to be even more powerful than Grandpa Patriarch. I really want to take him as my master and have him teach me!"
The little guys were all extremely surprised, and their big eyes flickered with little stars.
"It's not that he's still powerful, but that he's already more powerful than your Grandpa Patriarch," a woman corrected.
"Really? Then was the white-haired brother a big shot? Yes, it must be! In the future, I'll definitely become a big shot like Brother White Hair. I'll be able to fly into the sky and catch birds, "a Snot Frog said seriously.
"Yes, we can also go dig for bird eggs. I've been wanting to eat the little balls of that big fire bird in the Black Forest for a long time. Snotty kid, you have to help me!" A chubby, white, and tender little guy said while wiping his saliva.
"No problem, leave it to your snot bro. Ten years later, I'll definitely dig out that little egg for you and roast it for you to eat." The snot bro patted his chest with his tender little arms, looking like the king of the children.
A big man unintentionally heard this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
That so-called big fire bird was actually a Blazing Bird. It was over a hundred feet long and was extremely ferocious. Even the patriarch didn't dare to provoke it. And the little balls that the group of little guys were talking about were as big as millstones. Speaking of which, even if you guys obtained such little balls, would you be able to move them?!
The big man's face darkened. He gave each of them a slap and shouted, "A bunch of scoundrels. You haven't even learned how to walk, yet you want to fly? Hurry up and cultivate for me, or else I'll roast your * * * first, do you believe me?!"
"Aiya! Don't! Our * * * doesn't taste good! If you want to roast it, you have to roast it yourself! Although it tastes bad, it's good that there's enough of it! "
For a moment, the place was in chaos. Sounds of joy, laughter, and curses rang out. It was very lively.
Even Wutian could hear it. He shook his head and looked around. Finally, halfway up a cliff, he saw the yellow figure.
With a whoosh, Wutian cut through the void and landed on the cliff. However, Zhang Ting looked ahead as if she didn't see him. She didn't care about him at all. On her tender face, there were still two streaks of tears that flickered under the moonlight.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Wutian felt a little guilty. The pain today was brought about by his indifference. However, he didn't regret it because he had to do it. There was already someone in his heart, and it was really difficult for him to accept another person.
In fact, how could he not know that Zhang Ting was interested in him? It was just that he didn't expose this layer of paper in the past. He was afraid that such a thing would happen. One side would be sad and the other side would feel guilty and blame themselves.
Wutian didn't say anything. He just sat beside her and looked at the distant horizon, thinking about how to deal with it to minimize the damage.
After about an hour, Zhang Ting finally said, "Do you hate me that much? Why don't you comfort me or ask me if I'm okay? "
"Seeing that you were lost in thought, I was afraid of disturbing you."
"This excuse is very difficult, do you know?"
With a faint smile, Wutian decided to go straight to the point. "Zhang Ting, I'm sorry. My previous actions were a bit excessive, but you should know me better. Other than her, I will never fall in love with another woman in my life."
"I know that you only have senior sister Chu in your heart, but she's already dead. She doesn't exist anymore. Do you want to live in a dream for the rest of your life? Do you want to betray the people who love you for a dead person? "
As she spoke, she couldn't help but cry again. She had cried for so long that her voice was hoarse. Her thin body was curled up, trembling slightly. It was as if she was very cold, as if she was lonely, and as if she was very helpless.
"She's not dead. She still lives in my heart. In the near future, she'll appear again. At that time, I'll make the world, the mountains, and the rivers pale in comparison to her smile. At that time, I'll use my entire life to soothe the pain and helplessness in her heart …"
"Is that so? If a dead person can make you so infatuated, then what about a living person? Do you have the heart to hurt her? Is this fair to me? "
Her voice was filled with despair and desolation. In fact, she had long known that this was a relationship that would not bear fruit, but she could not control the original intention in her heart. She believed that one day, she would be able to melt that frozen heart and have a place for herself.
In fact, she didn't want much. As long as he cared about her a little, she would be fine.
She didn't want to replace senior sister Chu's position in his heart.
However, these words were like a sharp thorn that fiercely stabbed into her heart, causing endless pain.
She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. In front of her was a pitch-black darkness, without a ray of light to guide her.
At this moment, she finally understood how naive and stupid her previous thoughts were.
"I know it's unfair to you, and I also know that my answer will hurt you deeply, but I have no choice but to do this. If I choose to escape now or remain silent, the ones who will be hurt the most in the future will be the three of us. "
Silence. It was silent again.
The moon slowly rose. It was no different from the moon in the Samsara Continent. The bright moonlight spread down, covering the earth with a layer of light silver.
Under the moonlight, a gentle breeze blew past, curling up her soft and silky hair. Her clothes fluttered like a butterfly flapping its wings. At this moment, she looked like a fairy from the moon who was about to leave with the wind.
However, if she raised her head, she would find that her white teeth were biting her red lips so hard that a trace of blood could be seen faintly. Her eyes were full of sorrow and pain, as well as a touch of struggle.
As for her tears, they never stopped. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. The rocks below were all soaked.
Wutian didn't disturb her. At this time, she needed to calm down. He also hoped that she could think it through. Some things were destined, and couldn't be changed.
"Maybe you're right. Knowing that I'll only get hurt in the end, why continue? But I've already given my feelings, and there's already a shadow in my heart. It's really hard to forget."
After an unknown period of time, Zhang Ting raised her head and looked at the full moon. It was as if she was talking to the man behind her, but it was more like she was talking to herself.
Wutian opened his mouth, but in the end, he chose to remain silent. He just quietly looked at her back.
She just looked at the night sky like that, as if she was reminiscing about the past. Gradually, a smile appeared on her haggard face, but it was very complicated and difficult to distinguish …
After a while, Zhang Ting finally retracted her gaze. She turned around and smiled at Wutian. In an instant, the moonlight paled in comparison.
"I will try to forget you and chase you out of my inner world, but I can't guarantee the result. As for now, may I ask this unhandsome and bad-tempered fellow, can you give this little girl the love of a brother to a sister? "
"Of course," Wutian said with a smile. "Then I'll have another beautiful little sister."
"Am I really that beautiful?" Her eyes were wide open, her long eyelashes trembling, and her pure white jade-like face was filled with anticipation. Right now, she really looked like a cute little girl.
Wutian nodded and said with certainty, "My little sister is naturally beautiful."
"Eh!" I almost forgot that you have a younger sister. But seeing how much you care for Shishi, I think it wouldn't be bad to be your younger sister. Then, this young miss will make do for now! "
Zhang Ting rolled her eyes, walked forward and held onto Wutian's arm, and said coquettishly, "Big brother."
"What?" Wutian was stunned and immediately became vigilant.
"Can you carry your sister back?"
"This …" That's not good! "Wutian hesitated for a moment, then said," If Fatty and the others see us, they will misunderstand again. "
"What does it matter!?" Isn't it normal for a brother to carry his sister? Moreover, as the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. We didn't do anything, so what are you afraid of! "Zhang Ting continued to act coquettishly, coaxing and pestering, as if she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.
"Alright!" "Only this time. Also, when we reach the entrance of the tribe, you have to come down." Wutian pondered for a moment, and finally compromised.
"Alright!" I got it! Hee hee … "It feels good to have a brother."
