Chapter 418: The Middle Way Collapses
"Sister-sama?"
Yan Ya, who had been guarding the bedside, was stunned for a moment, and then opened her hands and pounced on Xinlan and hugged her tightly, with tears in her eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Great, sister, you're finally awake. β
"I'm sorry. β
Xinlan said guiltily, of course, it was Yan Ya who accompanied her to chase Yang Yu, and she fainted after returning the dragon heart to Yang Yu, it is not difficult to imagine how worried Yan Ya and the others are about her.
It's all her fault.
Yan Ya quickly stopped crying, after all, it was a joy for Xinlan to wake up. She put on an expression that was both angry and serious.
"Sister, I won't blame you for taking risks, but promise me not to hide everything in your heart. β
She was ignorant and used to feel that Xinlan helped her so much, so she should give everything, even her life, for it.
But she later understood that death is a very simple thing, but it is the people who are left behind who suffer, and she finally got relief from the pain with the help of Xinlan, how can she make Xinlan feel pain?
"Whether you go up the knife mountain or go down to the sea of fire, I will be by your side, as long as it is the path you choose wholeheartedly. β
"Hmm. β
Xinlan nodded.
This is not a casual response, but a deliberate response...... I want to laugh when I tell a lie.
"What's wrong with Brother Yang Yu?"
"Brother Yang Yu hasn't woken up yet, but my sister's treatment is very successful, and the rest is just cultivation......"
That's good.
The moment she saw Yang Yu two days ago, Xinlan had actually made up her mind.
β¦β¦
There is such a big thing happening in the country, of course it is impossible for Lei Gang and Fang Wenxuan not to know, in the past few days, the two of them have managed to break through the martial law of the academy and come to Xiangyue City, fortunately, Yang Jing did not stop them, and it happened that Xinlan also came back, so they let them stay in the house and wait for Xinlan to wake up.
So on this day, Xinlan's room was quite lively, with a mixed stream of people and dragons, and finally it was Hua Shuangyun who ran angrily and drove these guys out.
"I didn't expect you to go?" Liu Tian was strolling in the courtyard and reading a book, and found a young man in a white robe standing under a snowy tree, the picture couldn't be more dramatic, "Recently, I listened to a song called What is a Cut Plum, do you want me to hum it to help you with background music." β
"I calculated that Xinlan's health is better, so there is no need to go out of his way to visit, and the air is too turbid for his health. Chen Duyun smiled slightly, skillfully filtering out the second half of Liu Tian's words.
"The courtesy is light and affectionate, you guy is really not interesting, anyway, Xinlan is obviously a sage, how can you detect her situation?"
"Xinlan didn't shield us, even if it's a sage, there will be times when you need to report safety to your family. β
"You actually use the word 'we', are you so afraid that others will think that Xinlan treats you specially?" Liu Tian grinned.
Chen Duyun patted Liu Tian on the shoulder with his hand.
"Unfortunately, that person is not me. β
After speaking, Chen Duyun floated away, and there was no sign of care on his face.
"Phew, pretending to be a force...... Okay, me too, but that's because I'm stronger!" Liu Tianchong stuck out his tongue behind someone's back, and continued to read the book after finishing, just now he was only moderately relaxed, even if the sky fell, it couldn't affect his mentality of learning, and the most important thing was that he was still practicing while studying.
However, Xinlan didn't come to someone for the first time.
"This is the first magical snow of the year. Yang Jing, who was standing in the backyard, slowly turned around, "You should have a good rest." β
Yang Jing's voice was very soft, and as the snowflakes fell, it inexplicably made people feel sad and sad, and with such an imperceptible guilt.
"Father. Xinlan bowed lightly, and then stood aside, without a superfluous word.
Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, Yang Jing was famous for his rebellion when he was young, and he had no respect for his elders, and now that he is a parent, he naturally does not require his children to be too restrained at home, so Xinlan's gift does not seem to be heavy, but it is of great significance.
"Is it thanks to me for adopting you?" Yang Jing sighed.
Xinlan didn't answer.
"Apparently not. Yang Jing smiled bitterly.
It's not that Xinlan doesn't care about this matter, but Xinlan has already expressed her gratitude with more practical actions, but Yang Jing is just beating around the bush.
"Growing up is a terrible thing. After a long time, Yang Jing spit out such a sentence again.
When I grew up, I realized how much responsibility I needed to bear, when I grew up, I realized how immature my rebellion was, and when I grew up, I realized that I needed to think about more people.
Yes, he regretted it. More than five years ago, the scene of war and the end of the world made him regret everything he had done in the first half of his life.
If he had matured a little bit at first, there wouldn't have been so many sacrifices.
No, the word sacrifice is so shameless, those people don't want to die at all.
The world praised his stubbornness as a sign of loyalty, and he told himself and others the same, but he knew in his heart that the biggest reason was guilt for the deceased.
So after the birth of the cloud dragon, he worked hard to turn the tide. But when he came out to mix, he had to pay it back, and his slackness in the past caused today's mistakes and omissions, and in the end, he relied on his son and Xinlan to help solve the problem.
So he grew up again, and he was old and tired.
He didn't do anything, he just stayed in his territory, even to rescue his friend, he only walked half the way and turned back.
"I'm sorry. Yang Jing said, he understood that Xinlan had made up his mind, but he didn't want to make the world chaotic again.
"Father, you received the news from Di. Xinlan said in a tone as gentle as a mother caressing a child lying in her arms.
Hey, it's tears?
Yang Jing touched his face blankly.
It's so useless to cry in front of a child.
"Don't come. β
On the way to Luoyang with his troops, he received such a message before Xinlan returned.
That guy is stupid, what's more important than being alive.
Then, he continued on until Xinlan was sent by the gold medal.
"Father, it's because of me that I didn't continue to march, I'm sorry. β
Seeing the gold medal power attached to Xinlan, Yang Jing instantly understood Sima Di's choice.
If there is anything more painful than not being able to live, it must be the moment when one's dreams are shattered.
Is a coward like him qualified to ruin his friend's dreams?
"No, it's me who should say I'm sorry, I'm not a good father. β
Yang Jing hid his face and wept.
What's the use of a so-called dream if it makes your family cry!
So what's the use of the so-called persistence!
Even the smile of his family can't protect him, what else does he use to protect the world!
"Xinlan, just do what you like. β
"Thank you. β
Xinlan hugged her father.
But her answer was no, because the Yang family had always supported her arbitrary behavior, and if it weren't for Sima Di's order, her father would have accompanied her north without hesitation.
However, that is wrong.
She didn't want to ruin the dreams and persistence of that man and her father, but at the same time, she wouldn't let herself grieve anymore.
After all, sadness is contagious.
β¦β¦
The news of Xinlan's recovery also reached Sima Longji's ears, but he only sneaked a glance at the door surrounded by everyone and left quietly.
That's good, after losing the status of the emperor's grandson, he is just an ordinary royal child, maybe he can't even guarantee this in the future, and he must live an incognito life.
That's good, the moment the imperial grandfather chose to abdicate to the second imperial uncle, he should have thought of his ending, if this is what the imperial grandfather expects, he will do it, and work hard to do it-
But why, he always felt like his chest was blocked, could it be that he was unwilling?
The distracted Longji slipped on the soles of his feet and fell to the ground, but because of the power of the jade ring, he didn't even have a little bruise, looking at the jade ring in his hand, Longji's mood was even worse.
If he wasn't the emperor's grandson, would Xinlan still give this thing to herself?
"At the end of the day, does the meaning of my existence only come from my identity?"
Longji lay on the ground weakly, looking at the hairy snow, gradually becoming sad because he didn't feel the slightest cold.
But soon, he was picked up.
There was no wrong name, and when he smelled the faint orchid fragrance on the man's body, he knew who it was, and he didn't even look at the man until he was placed on the stone chair.
"I can't die. Sensing that the man had no intention of leaving, he sat down beside him and muttered.
"The heart is dead. β
"Then why did you let Grandpa Huang die!"
Suddenly remembering what Liu Tian had said, Longji couldn't help but shout.
"I'm sorry. β
Longji lowered his head, the answer he wanted to hear was not this, and he did not have the right to question others, after all, he was a person who had nothing but the identity of "imperial grandson".
Ah, by the way, I am now under the fence, and I must apologize.
"No, I'm too excited, don't take it personally. β
Longji didn't know what expression he used to say these "mature" words, because the next moment his heart seemed to crack.
It's not someone else who really can't let go, it's himself.
Knowing this, his eyes blurredβ
"Do you know Dee's dream?"
Longji didn't understand why the man was saying this suddenly, but when he looked up at the other person's face, he saw that the man was laughing.
"It must have been a beautiful dream. β
Even if he was in a situation where he would cry at any time, after seeing the man's smile, he subconsciously said this feeling.
Because Xinlan's smile is so beautiful, her expression is so intoxicated, and her gaze is so far away.
If that dream has a height, its top must be above the gray sea of clouds, between the brilliant stars.
Unfortunately, he was only halfway there. β
Xinlan retracted her gaze.
