"Gu Han …" Jun Moxie was speechless. After a while, he said, "Why did Miss Qiao suddenly ask this?"
"I hope to hear the truth from Manor Lord, because I know there must be something fishy about this!" Qiao Ying's voice was low and deep, but her words were clear. "That day, when you came to the Holy Land's camp, you wanted me to cooperate with you in the battle. Your original intention was probably because of my All Seeing Eye, and you hoped that I would be able to display my strength in the battle against the Supremacy Enduring Heavens of the foreign races. Am I right? "
Jun Moxie nodded helplessly. "That's right."
"But in all the battles after that, I did not make a move! It's not that I did not have a chance, but … but Xue Yan had been deliberately stopping me, not letting me go forward. My All Seeing Eye … was not used even once in this battle. For this battle, I, the Holy Land's secret weapon, was not of any use at all! "
Qiao Ying said indifferently, "That must be because you changed your original intention. That's why Venerable Mei did not let me go to the frontlines to kill the enemy! The only reason he left me behind was to protect me and ensure my safety. Am I right? "
"That's not bad." Jun Moxie nodded calmly.
"But why did you change your original intention? I really can't think of anyone or anything that could change your decision! " Qiao Ying suddenly raised her head and stared intently at Jun Moxie. "The only explanation is — during your conversation with Master Gu Han that day, he must have said something to you that won your approval, so you changed your original intention!"
Jun Moxie was dumbfounded. Qiao Ying actually thought of this from this aspect. But this question was really hard to answer. No matter how she answered, it would not be right!
Qiao Ying took out the jade pendant from her bosom and placed it on her palm. She said softly, "So, I want to know, what … did my Master say to you? I believe that he must have made plans for my future. I want to know, what are his plans for me? I know that I shouldn't rashly ask Manor Lord this question, as this might put Manor Lord in a difficult position. However, I really want to know. To me, Master is not only a person who teaches and dispels questions, but also an existence like my own father. Manor Lord, please, please tell me! "
"Cough cough cough … Miss Qiao, are you thirsty? Would you like a glass of water first? Someone, bring me a cup of tea. " Jun Moxie suddenly felt a little awkward and was speechless for a moment. He had no choice but to change the topic.
He couldn't help but curse Gu Han in his heart. F * ck, you old brat, you sure are quick and nimble, but how am I supposed to clean up the mess you left behind?
Or you could have just not told me about your relationship with Qiao Ying. But now, isn't he just roasting me on the fire? What do you want me to say? A father figure? Bullsh * t, that old ghost is your biological father!
But looking at Qiao Ying's pitiful appearance, if he really told her that Gu Han was her biological father, she might collapse on the spot! But if he didn't tell her … wouldn't she have to go back to her roots for the rest of her life?
"If not for the fact that Manor Lord has something difficult to say, please tell me. I will definitely be able to bear it." Qiao Ying hugged the jade pendant tightly in front of her chest as she looked at Jun Moxie.
Jun Moxie looked at Qiao Ying's trembling body and pursed his lips. Can you really bear it? It would be great if you can bear it. But the problem is that you definitely won't be able to bear it!
She had always thought of herself as an orphan, an adopted orphan. Over a thousand years had already passed like this! But now, someone was telling her that she was not an orphan. She also had a father and a mother, and her father was a Master who had raised her and was like a father figure to her …
Who knew how big of an impact this news would have?
Furthermore, this father and Master of hers had already died in the War for Seizing the Heavens …
From nothingness to existence, and from existence to nothingness …
Not to mention others, just putting himself in her shoes, Jun Moxie felt that if he encountered such a thing, he would probably go crazy on the spot! Fate made fools of people, but it wasn't like this …
But right now, Qiao Ying's gaze was fixed on him, waiting for his reply. How should he reply …
"Manor Lord Jun, please speak directly." Qiao Ying said softly. "As a disciple, I have to fulfill my Master's dying wish! Otherwise, what face do I have to continue existing in this world? "
Qiao Ying turned around, a mournful look on her face as she said in a low voice. "So many of my uncles have already left me forever after that battle, sacrificing their lives for a noble cause! If not for the fact that this matter has been lingering in my heart, I'm afraid I would have followed them a long time ago … Jun Moxie, you don't know, but the three Holy Lands had a total of close to 100,000 people! Just like that, not a single one of them left. Do you know this kind of feeling? Are you able to experience it?! "
Without waiting for Jun Moxie to say anything else, Qiao Ying laughed bitterly. "Others are orphans, but they still have their own relatives, or the people who adopted them, or neighbors, or even … even if their parents died, they would still have some relatives and friends, uncles and elders, close friends … But for me, in a single day, all of these are gone! Everything is gone! "
"What does it mean to have nothing? Right now, I, Qiao Ying, am truly … "Qiao Ying raised her teary eyes and said in a deep voice." … Nothing, no relatives. "
Jun Moxie was silent. Qiao Ying's words were extremely desolate, but it was the truth. Right now, in the entire world, Qiao Ying was perhaps the loneliest person without any relatives! There was no one else who could be more desolate and helpless than the current Qiao Ying!
"If Manor Lord is still not willing to tell me my Master's dying wish, then I will continue living like this …" If that's the case, then I'll just live like this … "Qiao Ying said mournfully," … But there's really no meaning in it anymore … "
"Cough cough, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I really don't know how to say it. Those words are really …" Jun Moxie coughed a few times and made up his mind. Sigh, shameless … I'll just be shameless for once.
After a few more years, decades, and decades later, when Qiao Ying's state of mind slowly calms down with the passage of time, I'll tell her everything. Let time wash away all the sadness, until she can accept it …
Qiao Ying clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white from excessive force. She tried her best to calm her emotions and make her voice sound more indifferent … But she still couldn't help but say in a trembling voice. "Thank you, Manor Lord Jun, please speak. I can confirm that I can accept any grievous news."
"Grievous news? It's not any grievous news! Actually, it's like this … "Jun Moxie put on an embarrassed expression and stammered." En, how should I put it? Cough cough, cough cough cough … Senior Gu Han had already made up his mind to die for the Holy Lands before the great battle. But he was most worried about a weak girl like you, so he called me to the side … cough cough cough … "
"What did he say?" Qiao Ying asked even more nervously.
"En, at that time, Senior Gu Han said: Manor Lord Jun, this old man has something that I'm worried about. So I asked: What is it? " Jun Moxie said. "Senior Gu Han said: Qiao Ying, this lass, ah, although this lass has some cultivation, she's too honest, too pure, and doesn't have any scheming thoughts. This old man is really worried ah, this is this old man's only worry. So, today, I'll solemnly entrust this girl to you, kid … "
"Ah?" Qiao Ying exclaimed.
"… At that time, I said: Please rest assured, Old Gu. Jun Moxie will naturally take care of Miss Qiao, and ensure that she doesn't have to worry for the rest of her life!" Jun Moxie was sweating profusely. "… But unexpectedly, Senior Gu Han said: This little guarantee is meaningless, if you can promise to marry her after the battle, then this old man will really be at ease. You don't have many benefits, but you treat your wife really well …"
What did it mean to be shameless without limits? Wasn't that it! Such a shameless argument was truly deafening!
"Ah!" Qiao Ying exclaimed when she heard that. She had already made countless guesses, but she never expected that her teacher's "last words" would be like this. Her face flushed red, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in and never come out again. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that when she came to ask Jun Moxie with such a heartbroken heart, she would hear such an explosive news from this fellow's mouth!
[If my teacher's last words are true, then it's reasonable that Jun Mo Xie didn't explain it to me. But, if it's so embarrassing … Ah, I was in such a hurry to ask him. It's as if I can't wait to marry him … This … This … What kind of explanation is this?]
A certain shameless fellow also did not expect that his words would have such a good effect, causing everything to turn out to be correct by a fluke. However, it was precisely this sentence that caused the sorrowful atmosphere to suddenly turn into bashfulness and awkwardness …
Jun Moxie said in his heart: I'm not speaking carelessly. It's true that your father handed you to me before he died. It's a pity that there are no voice recorders in this world, otherwise I can record it as evidence in court … Even if it's a lawsuit, this virgin girl would belong to me …
"You're spouting nonsense!" Qiao Ying was embarrassed for a long while before she angrily rebuked.
"How can this be nonsense? I originally did not want to say it, but you forced me to say it! "Jun Moxie cried out in grievance." This is the absolute truth! That day, when your teacher was talking about you, his face was filled with guilt. For the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens, the Holy Lands sealed your youth for a whole 1200 years. Speaking of this matter, Senior Gu was filled with guilt. So, at the last moment, he chased you out of the Holy Lands and betrothed you to me. "
Jun Dashao's skin was obviously thick to a certain extent. Speaking of marriage in front of a young lady, he still acted as if he was in the right. It was as if he was saying, "You forced me, and now you're not admitting it? Didn't you say that you can accept any consequences?! "
