Chapter 54: Escape
Actually, I myself fell into the misunderstanding.
Since ancient times, the word "feelings" has made sense, after all, this kind of thing is a matter of two people, how can outsiders tell whether it is worth it or not?
No matter what other people think, for Xue Nan now, all this is undoubtedly worth it.
And as long as she thinks the relationship is worth it, then nothing else matters.
Thinking of this, a hint of relief suddenly appeared in my heart.
In such a long period of contact, I found that in addition to being well-informed and highly cultivated, the biggest characteristic of Chunting is the kind of loneliness that no one can understand.
Obviously, the loneliness exuded by Chunting is not the loneliness that the teenager made up for the sake of giving new words.
Come to think of it, since I can already be sure that Chunting has appeared in the land of Shenzhou as early as the Tang Dynasty, and he is a person who doesn't know how long he has lived, then a person like him, after seeing his friends pass away one after another, the feeling in his heart will naturally be different from ordinary people.
Therefore, even though we are now on the same road, no one can really know what happened to Chunting, which is why Chunting feels so lonely and mysterious to us.
It's not that he's posturing, it's that we simply don't understand it.
It is precisely because of this that unconsciously, even though Chunting is now walking with us all the way, we always feel that Chunting seems to be outside of us, and there is no way to completely communicate with anyone.
But Xue Nan is an exception.
Even though Chunting had kept a distance from her before, she always insisted on her decision without hesitation, no matter how cold Chunting was, she never gave up her persistence.
It's also amazing to think about it, Xue Nan, a vigorous and resolute woman, is willing to become a weak woman who washes her hands and makes soup for the sake of Chunting.
There is no doubt that Xue Nan is not like those women who have no opinions, and she is not anyone's subordinate, she is assertive and capable, she can not only fight with people with a long whip, but also retreat behind to wash her hands and make soup for Chunting.
And Chunting actually needs such a woman, and with a woman like Xue Nan by his side, he is undoubtedly lucky.
Xue Nan used his patience to warm Chunting's eternal heart, and it was precisely because of Xue Nan's existence that Chunting was gradually moved by her, and slowly gained a trace of human temperature in front of us.
For Chunting, there must not be many women who can tolerate such indifference as him.
And for Xue Nan, being able to find a man who makes her so fond of is no longer possible.
In that case, these two people are really destined to be together, so why should I think about whether they are worth it or not?
Thinking of this, I suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.
In vain, I am still here to seriously think about the relationship between Chunting and Xue Nan, but I forget that I also have such a woman by my side.
That's Qi Zhi.
Although Qi Zhi is curious about everything like a child, and everyone can't help but want to love her, there is no doubt that she does not hide her feelings for me at all, even compared to Xue Nan, who dares to love and hate.
But I have never dared to face up to this relationship, although the two of us have a doll agreement, but I will always look for all kinds of reasons to turn a blind eye to Qi Zhi's affection.
Actually, it's not that I'm so hard-hearted, it's because I really don't know what my future holds.
There is no doubt that when I first set foot on this road, it was simply to find out my father's whereabouts, and at that time I could be said to be ignorant and fearless, and as long as I could get any trace of my father, I could go on a desperate track.
But now, after experiencing so many unbelievable things with everyone, my heart has changed unconsciously.
Whether it is the Chunting and Yihe around me, or the Yebai who sees the beginning and the end of the dragon, or even the Faru monk who has only one side in the Thousand Buddha Temple, each of them told me unmistakably that I am not as simple as myself.
According to them, my existence is involved in a plan from a thousand years ago, and even they are part of it, and I myself am the most important part of it.
Such an unbelievable idea, no matter who suddenly hears it, naturally it will not be easy to believe it, but along the way, as we see more and more, the more I can easily doubt this matter.
The five mysterious statues that have been handed down in Guanshan since ancient times.
Legend has it that Mu Gongzhen Qin Jian, who was able to suppress the national fortunes of the Qin State.
The ancient water monsters in the Vientiane Shrine have survived from the mythological era to the present day.
The legend of the Demon Ancestor Rahu who came from the chaos and has long been invincible in the world.
The true body of the legendary god Houtu.
The fact that the Emperor of Xudu and the King of Yama once went to Shenzhou in person.
Where we are now, this secluded capital that is independent of the Netherworld of Shenzhou and does not belong to the two realms.
……
All of this tells me a fact.
That's what everyone told me, it's not a lie, it's really a certain senior master who has been through the world for a long time, and he has done all the plans a long time ago.
The reason why this plan was carried out across thousands of years was to fight against the Demon Ancestor Rahu, who was bent on returning the world to chaos.
And we are the ones who are here today who are the ones who have come to complete the execution of this plan by fate.
Under such circumstances, even if I can find my father's whereabouts tomorrow, can I really give up the rest of my journey and ignore the safety of Shenzhou?
The answer is undoubtedly no.
And in this case, under the premise of the safety of China, how can I have time to think about the relationship between men and women?
On top of that, I wasn't sure what I would be like in the future.
There is no doubt that the road is not smooth, the road is full of bumps and bumps, and at the critical moment we are in no less situation than a sea of swords and fires, or even more so.
It is precisely because I don't know what kind of tribulations I will encounter on this road and whether I can succeed in the end, so I have always turned a blind eye to Qi Zhi's feelings.
Because I am afraid that I am not a good person, Qi Zhi's enthusiasm will eventually be entrusted to no one.
Since I can't be sure of the final outcome, it's better not to start at all, which is why I've been so evasive about this feeling.
