Chapter 5 The position of the head
"Senior Sister Yaohua. At this moment, the person who was being talked about came in high spirits.
"Master. Both Chiki and Chika bowed their heads respectfully.
Yaoguang smiled and waved his hand at them, "You guys go play first, I'll talk to your uncle." ”
"Yes, master. ”
After Qianshu and Qianhua left, Yaoguang poured a cup of tea for Li Yaohua, and then found a stool to sit down next to the bed.
She took the tea, but she kept watching him and didn't open his mouth, and he didn't plan to drink it.
"Senior Sister Yaohua, how are you doing all these years?" asked Yaoguang as if he had no surprise.
"Okay?" she asked. The corners of his lips were slightly pulled, and the smile raised was also bitter. She's never been better, it's been a long time, and she thinks she's been bad like this all her life, never better.
Yaoguang's eyes lowered slightly, and he sighed softly, "We cultivators seek a long life, but we really live a long life, but we find that the one who lives in this world is the most bitter." ”
Seeing his true affection, she became a little curious and asked, "What has happened to you all these years?"
Yaoguang suddenly smiled and shook his head, "Life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and I can only talk to people about two or three." ”
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, don't talk about it! But it really doesn't seem like it came out of your mouth, Senior Brother Yaoguang. "She and Yaoguang have a good relationship, the age difference between the peers is not too much, and the entry time is almost the same, they can be regarded as growing up together, so they know each other well, but he has not been in touch for many years since he left the mountain.
"What kind of person do you think I am?" Yaoguang took a cup of tea, motioned to her, and took a sip first.
She pondered for a moment, "It doesn't matter what kind of person you are in my eyes. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Yaoguang chuckled, "In your eyes, only a real person is important. ”
The tea in Li Yaohua's throat was a little bitter, and the relief on her face that she had finally had disappeared at the same time.
"Once upon a time, you only had him in your eyes. ”
"Don't mention it a long time ago. She didn't want to reminisce, recalling the joys and sorrows of being with that person, whether it was sad or happy, comparing the present would only make the present more uncomfortable. "Senior brother, did you take your apprentice just to catch up with me?"
Yaoguang put down the teacup and asked, "Do you plan to succeed as the eighth generation head of Yuhua Mountain?"
She took another sip of tea, and it still didn't get sweet, it was more bitter, and her heart was even more bitter than that.
"I'll do whatever he wants for him. ”
"Okay, then I'll be on your side!"
She looked up at him in surprise, "Why?" They had a good relationship, but they weren't good enough for him to give her the position of head of the house, right?
As if to understand what she was thinking, Yaoguang immediately said, "I never planned to succeed to the position of head of the family. ”
She didn't want to, never wanted to. Comparing Yaoguang with herself, she couldn't help laughing at herself, "Yes, you escaped from the position of head back then." You just asked me what you are like in my eyes, aren't you the most carefree one in Yuhua Mountain? If you don't do anything and run away from the head of Yuhua Mountain, you will flee for so many years, and you don't know whether to be envied or angry. ”
Looking back on the past, Yaoguang also sighed, "I am not suitable to be the head of a faction, and the head master did not plan to ask me to succeed to the head of the house, that incident was just a pretense, from the beginning, the master and the next head he chose was the head of the humble heart." ”
She really thought about it back then, everything was the strategy of the head of Yuxu. At that time, the head of Yuhua Mountain proposed the Zen position due to serious injury, and the successor disciple Yaoguang who was promoted disappeared on the eve of the succession ceremony, but at that time, Yuhua Mountain had already sent a letter to inform several major cultivators of the Immortal Sect to observe the ceremony, in order not to let Yuhua Mountain lose its prestige, the elders unanimously elected the humble Huai who was the elder of Tianshu at that time to become the seventh generation of the head.
Everything was abrupt at the time, but she clearly remembered that Hummy was not surprised at that time, and it seemed that he himself might have known or acquiesced to all this.
"What happened back then was a lot of injustice to the real person of Xuhuai, and now I support you not for anything else, just because I owe the head of Xuhuai, what he wants me to do, I must do it. ”
"What does he want you to do?"
"Humility wants me to come back and support you as the successor. Yaoguang was silent for a moment, and then said, "I know that whether you are Senior Sister Yaohua or the other junior brothers and sisters of Yuhua Mountain, they will all wonder why I happened to come back at this time. Actually, I was called back by a real person. ”
"Respected by the master?"
Yaoguang nodded.
She struck a blow in her heart. Did he arrange it all first? Did he even anticipate his own death?
"I also felt strange when I heard this summons, because you have been expelled from Yuhua Mountain, it is reasonable to let you succeed the head, not to mention that the head of the sect has cultivated the immortal body, it is impossible to be the same as my master, I am worried that there will be changes in Yuhua Mountain, so I hurried back, and the result happened to meet the head of the immortal death. ”
Yaoguang originally wanted to speak, but saw Li Yaohua wave his hand.
"Senior brother, let me be alone again!" she wanted to sort it all out.
"Good. Yaoguang got up and left a message before leaving, "Senior Sister Yaohua, although it is different from the real person of Xuhuai, you still have us." ”
She didn't react as if she hadn't heard Yaoguang's words, and waited until Yaoguang had already left, then she slowly opened her mouth and squeezed out of her throat with a choked voice.
He knew that he was going to die, but he only informed Yaoguang to come back and never told her, and he didn't even give her a chance to see him one last time.
"Master, you are so ruthless! you are really ruthless!" her low murmur ran down with tears.
When he drove her out of Yuhua Mountain, he said that as long as he was in Yuhua for a day, she would not be able to return to the mountain for a day. Now it seems that he really responded to his words - when she sets foot on Yuhua Mountain again, just because he is no longer in this world.
Is it really wrong for her to love him?
She remembered that when he sent her away from Yuhua Mountain, she asked him the last time.
"Master, is it really my mistake that you want to drive me away?"
"You're not wrong. ”
"Then why drove me away?"
He looked at her and said, "One day, you'll understand." ”
His gaze at her at the time was gentle, but it made her feel more cruel and unable to face it.
How long was he talking about, and why did she begin to think that maybe she was really wrong? If she hadn't fallen in love with him, she would have at least been with him for a year, so that maybe she would be able to accompany him for the last moment.
She didn't understand, really didn't. She really wanted to ask him, where was she in his heart, the world was born in his heart, Yuhuashan was in his heart, what about her? Occasionally she always thought that she had a place in his heart, but many times she would suspect that everything was just her illusion, and she had always only been in love with him.
She had been waiting for a suitable opportunity to ask him, but this opportunity was gone with his death, and she would never know the answer again. In the world without him, she can only hold a love that can never come true alone and go on alone.
