(3) Choice
The night is so cold. Although there are brilliant lights at night in the magic capital of China, no matter how dazzling the light is, in the face of the boundless darkness, it is like fireflies.
On the rooftop of the Dragon Club Building, Ren Tianxiang sat alone on the edge of the rooftop, sitting quietly and thinking quietly. He was wondering what he was going to do. Do you want to leave and get a new life, or do you want to stay and protect your dear mother and sister. It's really hard to decide.
"What should I do?"
Ren Tianxiang looked up at the starry sky above his head. There is no moon tonight, but there are countless stars. The stars, just like him, exist and exist, but once the sun or the moonlight appears, they will be overshadowed by that light. In the Dragon Society, he was indeed named the "strongest individual soldier", but once he left the equipment of the Dragon Society, he was nothing. No, even with the equipment of the Dragon Society, he is just an ordinary person.
He also wants to have special powers! He also wants to protect his mother and sister! He also wants not to be ridiculed by others!
He used to be, but he was a genius that the Dragon Society would rarely meet in a hundred years! He used to be the pride of heaven who was predicted to be able to reach the god level by awakening ability! He used to work hard for ------ he used to. But now, except for his own family, except for the ink tree and the blood splash blade, no one did not look at him with a mocking eye, and in the Dragon Society, where strength was the standard, he was like a joke.
So, how do I choose? Leave or stay?
He didn't know why he was so entangled. If it was another task, he might have refused without even thinking about it. But this mission is different, and what he will get is the ability he has always dreamed of!
"I searched for most of the building but didn't find you, but it turned out to be as Qing'er said, you are here. β
Ren Tianxiang's body stiffened. He had indeed told them before that no one was allowed to come to him. But this rule does not apply to this person.
He turned and looked respectfully at the comer.
It was a woman. Her long inky hair fluttered gently in the evening breeze, and her blue eyes gave people the feeling that the temperature of the rooftop had dropped by several degrees. She is tall and fair-skinned. She looked to be only eighteen years old, but the smell of a mature woman could not be changed. On top of that, she was also wearing the same white robe as Ren Tianxin, and there was a second-level white-robed elder.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Ren Tianwen smiled, walked straight to Ren Tianxiang's side, and sat on the edge of the rooftop with him.
The night breeze gently blew through her hair. However, she didn't say anything, just smiled and stared into the distance. Ren Tianxiang looked at her, and he saw a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
"Mom, you ......"
Ren Tianwen shook his head and said softly, "The first time I met him, it was here. At that time, he was three years old and I was two years old. β
Ren Tianxiang didn't speak, he didn't want to disturb her emotions. He also knew who Ren Tianwen was referring to by "he".
"Later, he proposed to me, and it was here too. β
There is an unwritten rule in their family that Ren Tianxiang's father cannot call him by his first name, but can only use him instead.
"The last time we saw each other when he left, it was here. β
Ren Tianwen lowered his head, and a few tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, she is not the white-robed elder of the Dragon Society, she is just a woman trapped by love.
Ren Tianxiang didn't speak, he didn't know what to say. He knew nothing about the grievances of the previous generation.
At this time, Ren Tianwen handed Ren Tianxiang a ring and said, "Take it, he left it for you." β
Ren Tianxiang took the ring. This ring is not the storage ring they use, but a photography ring that was introduced more than a decade ago. These rings were popular more than a decade ago.
"I have to go back, there's a lot going on. Ren Tianwen got up and prepared to leave, "Tianxiang, stick to your dreams, I support you." β
Listening to Ren Tianwen's departing footsteps, Ren Tianxiang put the ring in the palm of his hand.
"Drop. β
With a soft sound, the gem on the ring projected a holographic screen. A man's face appeared on the screen.
The man had long, inky hair, but within the ink, there were two strands of gold. His eyes are golden, but they have a pale blue hue. He is Ren Tianxiang's biological father, Ren Tianxing.
"Tianxiang, I know that when you see this video, you have already encountered the most difficult choice of your life. β
The man smiled bitterly and continued, "I don't know how to persuade you, but there are two things I want you to remember. β
"Don't let down the opportunity I left you. β
"Right now, you don't have the power to protect Tianwen and Qing'er. β
"I respect your decision. β
End of video.
Ren Tianxiang held the ring tightly and closed his eyes.
Thank you, Father.
"How long will you see? Come out, I have something to tell you. Ren Tianxiang stood up and said.
Ren Tianqing, Blood Splash Blade, and Mo Hu walked out from behind the door with embarrassed expressions.
"Brother......" Ren Tianqing looked at Ren Tianxiang worriedly, it had never happened to stay on the rooftop for a night like this.
Ren Tianxiang turned around and looked at his partner and dear sister who got along day and night, but he no longer had the same hesitation in his heart as before.
"I told you before, if I figured it out, I'd tell you about it. Ren Tianxiang said softly. There was a hint of sadness in his tone, and he was actually the most reluctant to be his sister.
He took a deep breath before he said resolutely, "The Chief Elder just came to me and gave me a task. Level 0, after which he was exceptionally promoted to CEO. β
"That's a good thing!" said Bloodsplatterblade happily. Even Ren Tianqing looked at him with a happy expression.
They all knew in their hearts that although Ren Tianxiang could become the strongest individual soldier, in the Dragon Society, where abilities were respected, he would stop when he reached the reserve level executive officer without abilities. And now, there is a chance for him to fulfill his dream, if it were them, they would not even think about it, just agree!
Only Mo Huan, after listening to Ren Tianxiang's words, was stunned. Immediately after, her eyes were misty, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Tianxiang, you...... Are you leaving?"
Ren Tianxiang was also stunned, he didn't expect that Mo Hua would guess it at once.
Ren Tianqing and Blood Splash Blade also stared at him with wide eyes, they couldn't believe what Mo Hua said.
He sighed and said, "That's right, this mission requires me to return to the Chaos Dragon Era and go to the Dragon God Continent. β
The two were silent. Back to the Chaotic Dragon Era? That's a nice thing to say! Just ask a member of the Dragon Society, how many people have gone in order to "support the past" plan over the years? How many people have returned? Maybe I don't know how many people have gone, but how many people have returned, but everyone knows! Three! Three third-level black-robed elders from the headquarters! Three saint-level powerhouses!
"Brother!"
After a long time, Ren Tianqing also said firmly, as if she had made up her mind: "I'll go with you!"
"No!" Ren Tianxiang's attitude was very tough.
"Why?"
"You and your sister are the hope of the new generation of the Ren family's descendants, and I think you know very well how many side branches are coveting the position of the descendants. And then there's ...... I need someone to keep my mom company. β
"Brother......
"That's it, I've made it clear, it's time to go. β
