Chapter 123: Give Up
As Ling Xuan's words fell, my expression became dull again.
According to what he said just now, the person who brought me to the Black Stone City in the first place, and then erased my memories with Chunting, would actually be my father who is now struggling to find his whereabouts!?
How is this possible?
How could my father have done such a thing, and what good would it do him to do so?
If it had been someone else who dared to slander my father in such a way, I would have already had an argument with him, and I would probably even have a big fight with him.
But now, it was Ling Xuan who said this to me.
Looking at the group of people around me, we have been walking together for so long, and have experienced so many unbelievable things together, to be honest, I have long regarded everyone as my brother and as one of my few friends.
Because of this, I didn't turn my face right away, but tried to control my emotions, and despite the gloomy expression on my face, I waited for him to give me a reasonable explanation.
Perhaps it was because he saw the changing expression on my face, so at this time, Ling Xuan hurriedly spoke again, trying to calm me down.
"Han Chuan, you calm down first, don't get excited, listen to me."
Since I didn't choose to turn my face at the first time, it proved that Ling Xuan was already a rare friend to me, so after hearing his words, I endured the countless questions in my heart, stared at him with wide eyes, and waited for his explanation.
"Han Chuan, as early as in Yang Guang's well-dressed mound, Brother Ting and I once told you that Han Ying is a generation of talents, and no one in the world can be said to be outstanding, although he will not fight in the south and the north, but he has also done his best for Guan Shan, and has never complained, for Guan Shan is as important as Zhuge Kongming is for Shu Han."
"In fact, Han Ying should have inherited the position of leader, so although the matter of the statue is a secret, he also has the right to know a thing or two, after inadvertently knowing some scattered news from the mouth of the previous leader, he actually pieced together a guess close to the truth from the ancient books."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but nod.
Indeed, as early as in Yang Guang's well-dressed mound, the two of them had told me these things without omission, and I naturally remembered them.
"And when you were born, a vision fell from the sky, the broken army was dim, the greedy wolf was lightless, the emperor star was alone in the north, the seven stars were dislocated and connected in a row, like a sharp sword pointing directly at Ziwei, and the left and right sides all appeared like the hilt of the sword, these things are all related to you, I believe you must remember it very clearly."
Seeing my expression, Ling Xuan knew that I remembered that conversation, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief before continuing to explain to me.
"The vision of your birth combined with the prophecy from a thousand years ago, so Han Ying decided that you were the prophesied person of destiny, he was pleasantly surprised, so he was ready to train you, hoping that when you grow up, you can truly solve the fate of these two forces that have been entangled for thousands of years."
Looking at my bewildered appearance, Ling Xuan turned his gaze to Xue Nan and said in a low tone.
"As for what happened later, you already know, the people in the weak water found Han Ying's traces, not only for the sake of the world, but also for your safety, after luring away the people in the weak water, Han Ying and Xue Nan's father rushed to find the rest of the statues in the weak water, and they still haven't returned."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but nod my head again, but the confusion on my face was even worse than before.
What Ling Xuan said now was something I already knew, and if that was the case, why did he bother to repeat it to me.
Is there anything else I have overlooked?
Just when I was deeply puzzled by this matter, I saw that Ling Xuan's face in front of me was straight, and the tone in his mouth became serious.
"The turning point of the whole thing may be here."
By this time, everyone's attention had been completely attracted by Ling Xuan, and everyone held their breath when they heard that he was about to say the turning point.
For a while, apart from the footsteps of everyone, there was no other sound, and the scene was extremely quiet.
Seeing everyone's expectation, Ling Xuan didn't pretend to be profound, but asked me softly.
"Han Chuan, you all already know that Guan Shan is a powerful force that has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is undoubtedly an extremely honorable thing to be the leader of such a force, but Han Ying voluntarily gave up the position of leader, don't you think this matter is a bit unreasonable?"
"Ling Xuan, isn't my father doing this for me?"
Although Ling Xuan's question was a little inexplicable, I still patiently responded to him.
"As you said, my father decided that I was the so-called fateful person from the vision of my birth and that rumor, and in order to raise me up and end the thousands of years of grudge between Guanshan and the weak water, he gave up the position of leader, is there anything wrong with this statement?"
"Han Chuan, I actually had the same thoughts as you before, and it wasn't until the speculation that arose in my mind just now that I suddenly reacted when I re-examined the whole thing, this matter is completely unreasonable."
Ling Xuan shook his head without hesitation for my answer, and his tone was full of deep meaning.
"It stands to reason that there is no contradiction between Han Ying raising you and him becoming the leader of Guanshan, he can inherit the position of the leader and continue to train you to grow up, but he did not do this, but resolutely gave up the position of the leader and took you to live in seclusion among the mountains and forests."
Hearing Ling Xuan's explanation, I couldn't help but be stunned.
I have always firmly believed that my father gave up his position as the leader in order to raise me as an adult, because I have always felt a great sense of guilt in my heart for him.
But now, when Ling Xuan opened his mouth, I suddenly realized that he was right, my father's succession to the position of leader and his raising of me were not contradictory.
That being the case, then why did my father give up the position of leader that made countless people want to wear it?
"Han Ying undoubtedly knows better than you what the identity of the leader of Guan Shan symbolizes, and there is no problem in wanting to inherit the position of the leader with his skills, but he still did not hesitate to give up the position of the leader in the end when these two things are not contradictory."
After seeing my gaze become dull, Ling Xuan naturally knew that what he said had made me think deeply, so he didn't let me wait too long, but directly told me his final conclusion.
"This means that Han Ying must have something more important to do than becoming the leader, so he will choose to give up the position of leader!"
