Chapter VIII Objectives
Gu Qingluo was sitting in the corner of the library by the window, holding a book and looking at it carefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and her expression was focused and solemn.
The sun shone through the window on her, and it reflected a holy light on her face.
"Light Radil!"
The soft call moisturized things silently, but it woke up the pensive girl like thunder.
Gu Qingluo's delicate body trembled slightly.
Gently raising the head of the mantis, at that moment, the two looked at each other, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Su Shen looked at Gu Qingluo motionlessly, Gu Qingluo also looked at Su Shen in a daze, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
After a while, a smile finally appeared on Gu Qingluo's face: "You're here." ā
The simple greeting set off a storm in Su Shen's heart, but he said quietly: "En." It turns out that you also came to the Hidden Dragon Temple. ā
Gu Qingluo put down the book: "I am Longxi County, and I am participating in the Longxi County Examination." ā
"So, you left Linbei in a hurry for the county exam?" Su Shen asked casually.
It was as if Gu Qingluo's departure was just a passing moment for him.
Youthful vigor, probably like this, even if you see your beloved, you still have to insist on your stubbornness and dignity.
"Hmm. Gu Qingluo lowered her head and replied in a voice as light as a mosquito: "I'm sorry, things came in a hurry, and I didn't tell you in advance." ā
Su Shen was annoyed in his heart: "I didn't know that your county exam was in such a hurry. ā
There were other people in the library, and when they saw them talking, they glared at them a few times impatiently and shushed them a few times.
Gu Qingluo sighed and put down the book.
She knew she wouldn't be able to read the book today.
Returning the book, Gu Qingluo said, "Can you go out for a walk with me?"
Su Shen didn't speak, just walked out behind Gu Qingluo.
Walking straight along the boulevard in the courtyard, Gu Qingluo said softly: "I left in a hurry last time, I didn't say a word to you, it was mine or not, I apologize to you here." ā
Su Shen listened bitterly in his heart: "You know that what I want to hear is not this. ā
"You want to know why I just left?" Gu Qingluo chuckled. She paused, then replied, "Because it's impossible between us." ā
"Why?"
"Actually, you know the answer, but you just won't admit it. ā
Su Shen felt a pain in his heart: "Because of family background?"
A beautiful smile bloomed on Gu Qingluo's face: "Look, aren't you clear? The gap between the bloodline nobles and the bloodless family, you shouldn't need me to explain, you should also understand, right?"
Of course Su Shen understands!
When he saw the Sanshan County exam that day, he understood.
The difference between the bloodline nobles and the bloodless family is like the gap between Su Shen and his family's subordinates.
This disparity is formed by the aristocracy of human blood over thousands of years, and is not affected by the will of individuals.
In order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, the nobles only intermarried with the nobles!
Do the bloodless have successful intermarriage with the bloodline nobles?
Yes!
But those who succeed are rare, and most of them are not blessed.
The relationship between Su Shen and Gu Qingluo was unruly from the beginning, and it did not conform to the distinction between superior and inferior in this human race bloodline system.
So Gu Qingluo rejected him.
She didn't even say no, and left.
Perhaps, in her opinion, this is the best choice.
Su Shen also had fantasies, he fantasized that love could transcend hierarchy and system, and fantasized that Gu Qingluo had another reason, not such a realistic factor. But when he saw Gu Qingluo again, when he heard Gu Qingluo explain the reason for his departure, his heart still hurt uncontrollably.
It turns out that the truth is that simple?
Actually, that's the real thing, right?
In fact, he and Gu Qingluo have never really been in love, so why should Gu Qingluo sacrifice for herself?
Su Shen knew that it was not Gu Qingluo's fault.
However, my heart still can't help but hurt.
Holding back the pain in his heart, Su Shen smiled: "Of course I understand, it was originally my wishful thinking, and the toad wanted to eat swan meat." It's good for a woman like you to be friends, and she even wants to go further. I'm really ......."
Su Shen scratched his scalp: "But you really are, since you don't want to, just say it, why bother to leave without saying hello." Even though you were also admitted to the Qianlong Academy, you didn't tell me? Are you afraid that I won't give up and pester you?"
Gu Qingluo lowered her head: "It's mine, no, I'm sorry." ā
"It's okay, I understand. Don't worry, since you refused, then I won't pester you anymore. Su Shen smiled and said, "Will you be friends in the future?"
Gu Qingluo nodded: "Of course you can." ā
Su Shen raised his head and laughed a few times, and then he said, "By the way, what are you doing in this county?"
Gu Qingluo shook her head lightly: "I'm not as good as you, but twelfth." ā
"Twelve, I didn't make it to the top ten, it's a pity. However, the Gu family's bloodline is still very strong, and you are also very good, and you will definitely be better in the future. ā
"Then thank you for your good words. ā
The two of them talked as they walked, and their tones gradually became polite and distant.
After chatting for a while, Su Shen suddenly said, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have one more thing, I have to take a step first." It's a pleasure to see you again today, and the opportunity to get in touch again?"
"Hmm. Gu Qingluo replied softly.
The two said goodbye.
Gu Qingluo looked at his departing back, two lines of tears quietly flowed from her eyes, and murmured, "I'm sorry, Su Shen, I don't want you to die......"
Leaving Gu Qingluo, Su Shen hurriedly walked towards the grove on the side.
He walked fast, as if something was chasing him from behind.
He walked faster and faster, and at last he simply ran away.
Running wildly in the forest, no matter what was in front of him, he crashed headlong into it, hulala broke many trees all the way, until he was exhausted, and then he fell in front of a mountain rock and cried.
I cried so much, I cried like no one.
All the strength was torn apart at this moment, and only the unforgettable pain remained, piercing into the heart like a needle.
Release the weakness and powerlessness in your heart to the fullest, in this uninhabited forest.
I don't know how long it took, the depressed emotions were vented thoroughly, and the calm Su Shen gradually returned.
He stopped crying and got back up.
He took a long breath, straightened his shirt, and said to himself:
"Okay, I've cried and cried, it's soft enough, it's time to regain consciousness. ā
"Before, I just wanted to be strong, but I didn't know why. ā
"But now, I understand. ā
"I understand the path I want to take in the future!"
"What bullshit bloodline, it's just some mutant orcs! What we have to fight against are those beasts that run rampant in the wilderness, and the power gained by relying on the bloodline of the beasts is destined to never surpass the beasts!"
"I want to break this bloodline system and create the Terran race's own cultivation system, so that the human race will no longer rely on the bloodline to practice, and let the human race rise!"
"Achieve the supreme divine seat of my human bloodline!"
Su Shen impassionedly talked about his life's pursuit.
Just as the words fell, an old voice came:
"Bullshit, fart, foolish dreams!"
