Xuan Shuang said, "Forget it. What kind of tacit understanding do we have? I don't understand you, and you don't understand what I'm thinking and what I want. You only want to cultivate a disciple who can inherit your legacy and surpass your master. But I want to kill you for revenge … Why bother? Why bother with a fuse that can explode at any time? Why don't … we stop here and don't make both sides suffer. I'll go back to the palace and won't take revenge on you. I … I'll forgive you, okay? "
This was no different from finding an excuse. The two of them had been together for a long time as master and disciple. He really couldn't bear to kill him. In the end, he wasn't a cold-hearted person through and through.
Jiang Liechen's expression changed. He said, "No! The path you chose, even if you have to kneel and crawl, you have to walk it to the end! You should be firm in your beliefs. What's the point of learning martial arts? Even if it's not for other pursuits, you should take revenge and kill me wholeheartedly. Unless I die, you can obtain true freedom. Otherwise, you'll always be shackled with heavy shackles, unable to free yourself. Kill me and realize your dreams. This is your choice, and also your destiny! You want to draw a line with me without saying anything? Don't even think about it! You haven't even asked for my permission! "
Xuan Shuang said, "Aren't I asking you right now? Forcing others to learn martial arts is one thing, but why force others to kill you? We … "Perhaps they could be friends. But because the two of them had been enemies for a long time, it was difficult to say this sentence.
Before Jiang Liechen could answer, he suddenly saw a woman walking over from afar. Her clothes were ragged and tattered, and her head was wrapped in a floral scarf. Her head was buried deep, and she dragged her feet as she walked slowly. She looked like a terminally ill person. A long braid trailed loosely behind her back. The setting sun was setting, and there wasn't the slightest bit of vitality. She hugged a cloth bag tightly to her chest. It was like all of her wealth. Even if she had to throw away the entire world, she would not give it up.
The Xuan Shuang frowned and said, "This area is forbidden. Why did that Auntie break in? Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be visiting her husband in the fields. That cloth bag probably contains the food he brought with him. "
His heart was vexed, but when he thought of the past, his heart softened like cotton. When he felt the pain of others, he would empathize with them. She took the initiative to greet her and asked tentatively, "Oh … Auntie, are you alright? Where do you want to go? I'm familiar with this area, so I can show you the way. It's very dangerous to run around alone. "
The woman let out a cold chuckle and said, "Thank you, little brother. You're really a kind person. This was the forbidden ground of the Blood Fiend Sect, wasn't it? But the current me, why would I be afraid of any danger … "He slowly raised his head and said," I've traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived here with great difficulty. There's no reason for me to shrink back. I … I'm here to find my husband. "
The Xuan Shuang suddenly saw the face covered by her long hair. Although she looked haggard, she was still delicate and pretty. It could be seen that she must have been a great beauty in the past. At first glance, her face was full of vicissitudes as if she had gone through seventy or eighty years of wind and rain. However, upon closer inspection, she was only a young woman in her early twenties. He instantly sympathized and comforted her, "Don't be anxious. Why, is your husband a servant in the sect? What's his name? I can bring you to find him … "
The young woman raised her head and looked straight at Jiang Liechen. There was some pleading and some confusion in her eyes. It was as if there were thousands of words hidden in her heart that she could not speak. Jiang Jianchen had cast an impatient glance at her, only to see that her watery eyes were now covered in a layer of dust and dim without light. He was instantly shocked and said with a frown, "You are Ji Qiannian? You … Why are you here? "
The Xuan Shuang was also shocked and said, "Ji Qiannian? The Hierarch of the Five Poison Sect? I … I have always admired you the most. Everyone says that you are a great beauty … "
That young woman was indeed Ji Qiannian. Hearing his question, the smile on her face became even more bitter and said, "The current me is only the ugliest ordinary woman. I no longer have the qualifications to be the Hierarch of the Five Poison Sect. Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you … Even my husband, I don't know if he can keep him … "After Jiang Liechen's initial shock, he changed into a cold expression and said," What are you up to? "
Ji Qiannian said, "You once promised that you would take me as your wife. Do you know that from then on, I've been living my life because of that one sentence. Even if it was a lie to me, it was the most beautiful lie I have ever heard. Originally, I would be entangled with people and things that I did not want to let go of for the rest of my life. However, recently, I changed my mind and came to see you for the last time. In the future, I will not bother you anymore. I want to say a few words to you. It won't be long. Consider it my … last request. Can you accommodate me for the last time? "
The Xuan Shuang heard her pitiful words and was moved by sympathy. He said, "Go! You have caused her to be so miserable. You should have a good talk with her. You have to take responsibility for everything. "
Although Jiang Liechen was full of impatience, even if she died in front of him, he would not have the slightest bit of pity. However, looking at her attitude, it seemed that she had really suffered a great blow. Compared to more than a year ago, when she was overbearing outside the Snow Song Palace, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. There was no harm in giving her a chance. In any case, it would not be a big hindrance to him. He said indifferently, "Okay, then I will listen to what you have to say."
Ji Qiannian said, "Thank you … for your last kindness to me." After saying that, she turned around and walked away. The Xuan Shuang was still not at ease. He warned Jiang Liechen, "Treat her better. She is already pitiful enough. Don't say any more nonsense to provoke her."
Ji Qiannian walked forward in silence. The mottled leaves on the ground rustled under her feet, but she did not say a word. After walking for an unknown period of time, Jiang Liechen said impatiently, "Hey, have you had enough? If you have something to say, then say it quickly. If you still want to make up for it, then please don't open your mouth. I can't be with you. "
Ji Qiannian sighed, "Do you really hate me that much? Even if you spend a moment with me, it will still make you upset, right? "Jiang Liechen said," It's not that I hate you. It's just a waste of time. "
Ji Qiannian smiled in understanding. She said, "I can't bear to abandon you. If you want me to spend all my time with you, I am also willing. If a person is willing to … give up her most precious thing for another person, then she must love him deeply … To be able to stay with you, even if we don't talk to each other and just stroll silently, is also a kind of happiness. Do you know? I miss how we used to be. Although the few days in Miaojiang passed quickly, they were the happiest days of my life. It was as if my entire life existed for those few days. I know that the one you love the most is still Menglin. No one can replace him. But … you loved me after all, didn't you? Even if it's just a little bit? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Don't deceive yourself and others. You should know better than me that the reason why I played along with you was to cut off my love. Once I got it, you would be useless. Letting you live is already merciful. Don't be ungrateful. I have never loved you before, and I will never love you in the future. There was nothing between us in the first place. From then on, we should have completely severed our ties. "
Ji Qiannian smiled bitterly, "You make it sound so easy. But we won't be even. You and I are destined to be tied to each other by fate. Especially since that day, our fates are closely intertwined. We can't be separated anymore. " Jiang Liechen heard her lingering words, but there was an indescribable sadness hidden in them. He said unhappily, "What do you mean?"
Ji Qiannian held up the cloth bag in her arms and gently unwrapped the top layer of cloth. She handed it to him and said, "If I insist on being entangled, I can use this as evidence. But in this year, I have thought a lot and decided to leave you to fulfill your great ambition. But my love for you will never change until the end of my life. I still have to thank you for giving me something worth remembering … "
Jiang Liechen had always been calm. When he heard her words, his expression was slightly moved. He glanced at the cloth bag. He saw that it was a thin and weak baby girl. Her eyebrows were like the moon. Her small red lips were lightly pursed. Her delicate nose was high and her cheeks were pink and tender. She was sleeping soundly. Although she was just a baby lying in swaddling clothes and waiting to be fed, her face was already very beautiful. With one look, one could tell that she would be a beauty in the future.
Jiang Liechen focused for a moment. His gaze suddenly became as sharp as lightning as he glanced at Ji Qiannian, "Why are you showing me this?"
Ji Qiannian said softly, "I want to show it to you. This is our child. She's only a few months old. She's so small and so cute. Looking at her, it's as if all the pain in the world is gone, and only happiness and beauty are left — "Jiang Jianchen cut him off." What happened? Didn't I tell you to abort the child? "
Ji Qiannian didn't expect to be able to move his heart with the child. But to be questioned so heartlessly from the start still made her heart hurt. She said, "Yes, I did promise you. But I … how can I bear to do that? This child is growing in my body bit by bit. She is my flesh and blood. She is all my love and sustenance. What kind of suffering is ten months of pregnancy? Those who haven't experienced it will never understand. How miraculous! The two of us, who have always slaughtered for a living, are actually able to create a little life together. When a woman becomes a mother, her heart is the softest. She is even willing to give up everything in exchange for her child to grow up peacefully. Unlike you, I selfishly want to keep her because this is a single line. Once it was severed, they would be separated from each other at the ends of the world. I don't want to end things with you like this. Even if we can't be together forever, as long as I know that you are the father of my child, we will always be the two closest people. Even if I can't get your heart, to be able to keep some status with you is my most humble wish. "
Jiang Liechen's face twitched slightly. It was obvious that this move was out of his expectations. After a while, he said, "Why do you have to do this? Since ancient times, if you gain something, you lose something. Now that you have everything, it will only become a deeper layer of pain when you lose it. I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life. I don't deserve to love, and I don't deserve to be loved. No matter how much you give me, I still won't have anything in return. Other than making you sad and sad, I am useless. Why do you still cherish me? "
Ji Qiannian shook her head. She brought the child closer to him and said, "Don't say so much. You … Look at her, isn't she very beautiful? That is natural. How can our child not be the most perfect in the world? I think she will definitely learn from our strong points to make up for her weaknesses. She will inherit our strengths and avoid those unsightly weaknesses. My life is already terrible, so I might as well just let it go to waste! I only hope that my daughter can live again in my place and realize my ambitions. Say, when she grows up in the future, will she be as strong as you? Will she be as beautiful as me? "
