Two days had passed, and Madam Mu had probably already discovered from certain details that Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi were still alive and in this small courtyard.
But presumably, she would not act against Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi, because Chen Changsheng was already here and the rift within the Demi-human race was already extremely deep.
Only if she truly began to go crazy and no longer cared that the Demi-human race would be burned to ashes in the flames of civil war.
The wind from the river rustled the leaves in the temple of the Celestial Tree, which then fell into the quiet courtyard. The rustling was very clear.
Such a quiet moment was extremely suitable for chatting or handing over a few things.
Especially at this moment, when Bie Yanghong had used some method to make Wuqiong Bi fall asleep.
Chen Changsheng asked, "What does Senior wish to leave behind? Or what do you want us to do? "
Bie Yanghong replied, "In the past, I believed that I would leave behind a descendant, but since there is none now, there is no need to say anything."
When he said this, his expression was very calm, and his tone was also very indifferent, but anyone could hear the deep pain hidden in it.
An expert of the continent, on his deathbed with no one to send him off, to see his son die early, anyone would find it very difficult to accept.
Chen Changsheng said, "It is also good to leave behind some of Senior's thoughts for the common people."
Many people knew that Bie Yanghong was a scholar from Xiling's Ten Thousand Years Pavilion, but his life experiences and cultivation had always been a mystery.
"Just what aspect of my past does the common people want to know the most?"
Bie Yanghong glanced at Wuqiong Bi and sighed, "It's probably why you married her."
Chen Changsheng thought this over, then very honestly said, "There truly are many people who don't understand."
"Although no one has ever dared to mention this matter to us husband and wife, I know that this sort of gossip has always existed in many taverns and inns. There have even been some storytellers who helped us think of many bizarre stories, imagined many scenarios for me. The Bie in those stories truly suffered an extremely tragic fate, and even I felt very sympathetic when I heard it …"
Bie Yanghong smiled and continued, "It's all fake. There are so many things in life that have no choice, much less someone like me."
Chen Changsheng thought to himself that this was indeed the case. An expert of the Divine Domain possessed unimaginable power and authority, not much different from an emperor. How could they possibly endure for so many years because they had no other choice?
Bie Yanghong explained, "This story is really much simpler than all of you think. When I was young, my family was poor. My master took me in and raised me. I grew up together with my junior sister. She respected and loved me, never doing anything that made me unhappy. I naturally also loved and pitied her. When I was a little older, I naturally married her."
Chen Chang Sheng didn't expect the story to be so simple.
Bie Yanghong added, "Although she truly was not like this when I married her, if I think about it carefully, isn't this also my fault?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "If this is true, then senior's arrogance towards her is indeed equivalent to indulging her in evil."
Bie Yanghong replied, "So I'm not a gentleman, nor am I a good person."
Chen Chang Sheng still couldn't accept it and said, "I still don't think this is right."
Bie Yanghong looked at him and said, "If your wife treated you extremely well, but had an extremely bad personality, and was even a great evil and wicked person, what would you do?"
This question seemed very easy to answer, but it was extremely complicated upon further thought. Chen Chang Sheng had never thought about such matters before, so he naturally didn't know the answer.
Wuqiong Bi happened to wake up at this moment. When she heard these words, she naturally believed that Bie Yanghong was talking about her.
She instantly became angry and cursed, "I just killed a few pieces of trash that disrespected their elders, but do you think I'm a great evil and wicked person? You heartless thing! "
The silence in the courtyard was instantly shattered, everything seeming to be thrown into disarray.
Bie Yanghong did not explain. He looked at her and said with extreme seriousness and gentleness, "In the future, don't do this sort of thing, alright?"
Just like the day before yesterday, Wuqiong Bi once more panicked. She mumbled, "Didn't I already promise you? Why keep bringing this up?"
Bie Yanghong smiled at her and said, "Junior Sister, I'm very sorry that I can no longer accompany you."
Wuqiong Bi became even more panicked. She grabbed his clothes and shrieked, "What nonsense are you saying!"
Bie Yanghong sighed and said, "I'm not speaking nonsense."
Wuqiong Bi's face paled. Her nervousness made her tongue-tied, her words somewhat stuttering. "But you still can't speak nonsense."
Bie Yanghong replied, "I'm not speaking nonsense."
Wuqiong Bi yelled in absolute terror, "I forbid you from leaving, or else … or else I'll cut off Guan Bai's hand as well! Or else … I'll throw myself in with the demons! "
"I once thought of asking His Holiness to take me away and only leave you with the letter of divorce. But I know that you've definitely guessed that I'm dead, so it's better to just say it … "
Bie Yanghong tenderly caressed her face and said, "Because you know that I won't abandon you."
Xuanyuan Po stood by the door, constantly wiping his tears with his sleeve, but he couldn't wipe them clean.
He didn't really understand these things, but he felt that his senior's words were rather heart-wrenching.
"Can I trouble you to buy a few steamed buns?"
Bie Yanghong somewhat embarrassedly said to him, "I want to eat the beef and onion filling."
Startled, Xuanyuan Po hurriedly ran out of the small courtyard, completely disregarding the fact that he had only just recovered from his heavy injuries and was still incredibly weak.
In the morning mist and steam, he ran back to the Hu Ji Bun Store, brimming with regret. He thought, why didn't I see that Senior wanted to eat beef buns a few days ago?
Xuanyuan Po carried a tray of steamed buns back to the small courtyard, escorted by ten-some priests and experts of the Bear tribe.
The tray of steamed buns was still scalding hot. If one tore off the soft skin, one could smell the aroma of beef, onion, and chili oil.
Alas, it was a little too late.
Bie Yanghong's eyes were closed, no longer breathing.
Xuanyuan Po froze. The steam from the steamer in his bosom drifted up into the gloomy sky, also falling on his face. It was somewhat hot, somewhat wet.
Chen Changsheng silently lowered his head, his fingers trembling at his side, the sword in his sheath vibrating with them.
Xuanyuan Po kneeled in front of Bie Yanghong, placed the tray of steamed buns in front of him, and then respectfully kowtowed several times, tears streaming down his face.
Wuqiong Bi noticed nothing. She stared in a daze at Bie Yanghong, her eyes gradually growing lax and her body swaying.
Dang dang dang dang! A bell rang out from the Celestial Tree temple.
Wuqiong Bi came to her senses, her eyes reddening and her lips trembling. She finally understood what had happened.
A mournful sob resounded from the small courtyard.
Chen Changsheng walked out of the courtyard. As he listened to the bell from the Celestial Tree temple, he recalled the night before Archbishop Mei Lisha died.
On that night, the capital had also heard the sound of a bell.
Was the bell really the signal to return home?
Was the sea of stars really the homeland of all souls?
Whether noble or lowly, beautiful or ugly?
Just like a sob?
No matter how unpleasant it was to hear, was it still so sorrowful?
… …
