Chapter 32
In the evening of the world, there is less glitz and busyness in the daytime, and more peace and silence. The clouds in the sky glowed with a warm orange-yellow glow, and they were surrounded by a golden halo of light, and the sun slowly sank as it came to an end of the day.
After yesterday's battle, although Zhang Aiqi was seriously injured, after some healing by the divine doctor sent by Lingye, he has also recovered a lot. She had to admire the wonder of mana in her heart, but its magic was impossible for an ordinary human like herself to possess in a lifetime.
"Aiqi, your wound is just getting better, don't walk too long, beware of cracking it again." Li Moxue carefully supported her friend beside her, not daring to be careless.
"Mo Xue, you don't have to worry too much about me. You see, on such a good evening, it's good for me to go out for a walk. Zhang Aiqi said to Li Moxue with a smile. Even though her face was still a little pale because of her injuries now, her smile was still so warm and pure, like the most beautiful scenery in the world.
"Fortunately, your family is not here these days, and you are so seriously injured, I don't know how to explain it to them, they will definitely be very worried about you." Li Moxue said, and couldn't help but feel a burst of self-blame in her heart. After all, it was indeed because of her reappearance that Aiqi was in danger.
"Mo Xue, why do you always take things on yourself?" Zhang Aiqi pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, "All this is voluntary by me." Since we are friends, I have no reason to stay out of your affairs. β
She was speechless and stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed: "Of course, it seems that I have caused you a lot of trouble, and now I want you to take care of me who is injured." Sometimes, she also wishes that she had the power to do nothing else, just that when danger comes, she may have the opportunity to assist Mo Xue and fight side by side.
"No, Aki, you protected me. If it weren't for your willingness to use your body to help me block Tong Yiran's attack before, the person who was injured now should be me. Li Moxue said to her, "Thank you." β
Zhang Aiqi was slightly stunned, it was the first time she was so solemnly thanked for the first time, and she was still a little embarrassed in her heart.
"It's nothing, you've saved me many times." Zhang Aiqi waved her hand generously, "But it's a pity that I'm just an ordinary human being, and I don't have the same powerful potential as you God Realm people, so I can't really help you in battle." When she said this, her mood was a little low.
"Who said that?" Stopping from Mo Xue's footsteps, she looked at Zhang Aiqi carefully.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhang Aiqi's innocent and clean face was covered with a golden veil, and her eyes also looked at Li Moxue.
"In my heart, it doesn't matter if you have mana or not, what kind of identity you are at all, I don't care. Aiqi, what you have given me is something that no one can replace. There is simplicity and innate goodness in you that those with great power do not have. If it were possible, I'd really like you to live happily ever after on earth. The kind of power struggle in the divine realm is really not for you. Li Moxue said earnestly. Although she had always been in the human realm, she could vaguely see what that place looked like from Ling Guang and Ling Ye's bodies. She really couldn't bear the innocence of Aiqi's body to be tarnished by that kind of place.
This is the first time Zhang Aiqi has heard Li Moxue say this about herself. I still remember that when they first met, the girl sneered at her. Zhang Aiqi looked at Li Moxue's beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but think that when they first met, they were clearly full of coldness and suspicion. She still remembered how cold and suspicious Moxue was at that time. Exactly, when did the once arrogant girl be willing to melt the ice and have heart-to-heart fellowship with her?
"I know I don't belong there, but, Moxue, do you belong there?" After a period of silence, Zhang Aiqi finally asked the words that had been buried in her heart all these days.
"I ......" was speechless for a while, although she had been living in the world since she was a child, her innate strength and long life made her different from the mortal world.
"Actually, you also know that no matter how much you deny it, you don't belong here after all." Zhang Aiqi whispered, "So, you said that the divine realm is not suitable for me, I think, the world is not a place where you can settle down, it is better to leave here." "These days, she thinks a lot. The appearance of Ling Guang, Ling Ye and others in the God Realm made her have to realize that there is a difference between people and gods. Once, Li Moxue said that she had gone through a hundred years, and the normal life span of ten years was just a snap of her fingers, and she had seen all the warmth and coldness in these long years. The joys and sorrows of the world, for that girl, it is difficult to arouse the emotions in her heart.
Zhang Aiqi thinks that this is the biggest difference between them. Time is only ten years for her, but for Mo Xue, it is endless. Such a gap, death will eventually separate them. Aiqi can't imagine that a hundred years later, things in the world are human and wrong, and only one girl still looks the same, wandering here alone, and it is difficult to find a trace of the deceased. She didn't want to see Limoxue who was still lonely like that. But if this girl returns to the divine realm, there are many people like her, and they can be with them forever, how nice would it be.
However, Li Moxue didn't understand Zhang Aiqi's thoughts for her sake, she only thought that this was what Aiqi wanted to drive away. As a result, her eyes instantly became cold: "You want me to go?" β
Zhang Aiqi lowered her eyes and clasped her hands tightly. After a long time, she whispered, "Yes." β
Although, how much she hoped in her heart that Mo Xue could stay. She finally made a friend who had experienced the test of life and death, and naturally she was reluctant to separate. But she couldn't be so selfish.
Li Moxue looked at Zhang Aiqi with cold eyes, she thought, she was really naΓ―ve. After being in the world for so long, haven't you already seen the so-called friendship here? All friendships are built on profit. Once, Zhang Aiqi was only curious about her identity and origin, so he approached her. Now, after that person learned the truth, he was afraid of being involved in some grudge again, so he wanted to drive himself away.
"I thought you were different from the hypocrites I'd seen before. But now, I understand, there is no difference between you and them. Li Moxue said coldly, "You're still scared at this time, aren't you?" Although you always say that you are not afraid, you are still afraid of being implicated by me, so you want me to go! β
"Moxue, no, I'...... I ......" Zhang Aiqi tried hard to defend herself, how could she be the kind of person who was hypocritical and wronged?
"I've seen so many different people in the world, and I've seen all the joys and sorrows, and I don't want to have any more emotions as a bond. But your appearance did make me believe in the existence of true feelings, but now, you are no different from those mortals in the world. I found that your acting skills are too good. Li Moxue's sharp words were as sharp as knives. She had no idea what she was saying or doing, and she just wanted to cover up her inner emotions with the harshest words.
"Mo Xue, how can you say that about me?" Zhang Aiqi asked loudly. They have been through so much together, does she still not believe in her own person?
"Am I wrong? Then why are you letting me go? Li Moxue asked.
"I ......" Zhang Aiqi was speechless for a while, if she said the words, would it be possible for Mo Xue to leave with peace of mind? She has to let Mo Xue leave without worry, and no longer worry about everything in the world.
Li Moxue regarded Zhang Aiqi's hesitation as a kind of acquiescence to what she had just said, she thought that Zhang Aiqi admitted that she was afraid of being affected by her, and Li Moxue's heart sank suddenly.
Seeing that Aiqi was silent again and again, she no longer had any hope. She closed her eyes, then opened them again: "You don't need to say more, I already understand the answer to the question." I have a special identity in the world, and it is definitely not my intention to involve you, I just go. β
As she spoke, a golden light gathered between her fingers and disappeared in the orange glow, except for a pure white flute on the ground.
Zhang Aiqi stared blankly at the empty street in front of her, and asked herself in her heart: Zhang Aiqi, is this the result you want? She slowly picked up the flute lying on the ground, which she had given to Moxue. She still remembered that the girl received the gift with a happy face, but awkwardly refused to show it. The man had promised himself that he would cherish this gift of friendship for the rest of his life.
And now, she has easily broken her promise and abandoned the gift.
In the sunset, Zhang Aiqi couldn't help but shed tears.
Her heart was suddenly full of remorse, why did she drive away Mo Xue with the wrong mouth? All along, what I hope most is that she will stay in the world forever and can be with her for a lifetime?
She looked up at the sky above her, the glow of which burned the clouds red. From time to time, a few homing birds crossed the air, and she suddenly remembered that under such a sky, Mo Xue had said to her:
"I like to look at the sky, because only then can I forget everything in the world. But at this time, I can't help but think that the world is so vast, and everyone, even the birds that return late, have their own place to go after all. But where does I belong? β
Zhang Aiqi remembered that it was the first time Mo Xue confided her heart. Of course, it was also the first time that she discovered the loneliness hidden by the coldness in Mo Xue's eyes. Indeed, what it would be like to be a person who has gone through a hundred years and is still the same, not knowing where his return is.
Of course, Zhang Aiqi also remembers that she told her at that time that from now on, she will not be left alone. She will use her friendship to dispel Mo Xue's loneliness for a hundred years.
However, at this moment, she drove Mo Xue away by himself. Aiqi couldn't help but wonder, could she have done something wrong? Regarding the matter of returning to the God Realm, she hadn't heard Mo Xue's thoughts in person, so she decided for her on her own. Perhaps, Mo Xue doesn't want to go back, or...... She is also willing to stay in the world.
Thinking of this, Aiqi suddenly ran into the distance, she wanted to find Mo Xue from Li, and she wanted to explain her original intention to her.
In the sunset, I saw a girl running fast down the street, holding a flute tightly in her hand. Her shadow was stretched long, long......
