Chapter Forty-Eight: Goodbye Spring City (Part I)
In the half month that Lan Chengyu rescued Shangguan Yufei, he had been living in the senior ward of the city hospital, and in the past few days since his injuries had recovered, he had tried to cultivate but made no progress. He could feel that there was always a poisonous cold qi in his body consuming the true qi he had condensed, and he could roughly guess that it was caused by the magic needle of the black mirror.
When cultivating now, the true qi in the dantian cannot be mobilized, and the true qi cannot be operated, and the breathing exercises cannot be cultivated at all. Lan Chengyu hoped that this situation was only temporary, and that it would not affect his cultivation progress and selection.
This attempt to cultivate made him stop in dizziness, and when he just opened his eyes, the door of the ward was pushed open, and he saw that the person who came was Shangguan Yufei's father, Shangguan Jin, and followed by the black-clothed bodyguard Yan Jiu.
"Hello uncle, how is Shangguan Yufei?" Lan Chengyu got up and asked with concern.
"You don't have to get up, you better lie down and rest. Thank you for your concern, she has just woken up not long ago, but her body is very weak and needs to recuperate for a few days. How are you?" Shangguan Jin said.
"I'm much better, but I always feel that my body has no strength and I feel a little dizzy from time to time. Shangguan Yufei, she shouldn't be in any big trouble, right?" Lan Chengyu felt so bad knowing that she had only been hit by one injection, not to mention that she had been hit by forty-eight injections!
"She shouldn't be in any big trouble, but you have to pay more attention to rest, and your face is not very good. Shangguan Jin looked at the young man in front of him, and he really didn't know how to say the task given to him by Shangguan Yuan.
Shangguan Jin was preoccupied, hesitated for a while and said, "Lan Chengyu, I still want to thank you for this matter, you are the great benefactor of our Shangguan family." ”
"Uncle, where did you start talking about this, Shangguan Yufei was found by Miao Sanli because of me, I just did what I had to do. Lan Chengyu said nervously.
"You just happened to be implicated in this matter, without you, Miao Sanli would have found us. This time it was you who sacrificed your life to save Yu Fei, and we dare not forget your kindness, but ......" Shangguan Jin was a little difficult to speak.
Looking at Shangguan Jin's embarrassed expression, Lan Chengyu knew that he must have something to say, "Uncle, if there is anything you can say, as long as I can do it." ”
"Lan Chengyu, I hope you can agree to a request from us, I hope you can leave Shangguan Yufei, it's best to forget her, and let her forget you, it would be better if you could leave Spring City, I know this request is a bit excessive. Shangguan Jin finally said his ultimate purpose of coming to visit Lan Chengyu, and looked at Lan Chengyu with concern.
After hearing this, Lan Chengyu's heart was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and his heart instantly cooled, what was going on? He actually heard Shangguan Yufei's father and his enemy Miao Sanli say the same thing, they wanted to leave Spring City by themselves, was this a joke played by fate?
"Uncle, can I know why?" Lan Chengyu had already imagined this countless times in his heart, the Shangguan family was based on money, status, and family background...... and so on to refuse him to be with Shangguan Yufei, it is too easy to reject such a young man who is inactive and penniless.
"You're a selected cultivator, right?" Shangguan Jin said.
Lan Chengyu was stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly ask this? He nodded lightly. Shangguan Jin glanced at Yan Jiu, and Yan Jiu retreated and closed the door.
"For your good, and for Yufei's good, I want you to leave her. Shangguan Jin said helplessly.
"Uncle, I don't really understand what you mean, does this have anything to do with whether I am a cultivator or not?" Lan Chengyu asked incomprehensibly.
"You also know that Miao Sanli kidnapped Shangguan Yufei for Xuanyue Liuyunzhu. Some cultivators are unscrupulous in order to improve their cultivation, Yu Fei and her uncle were both killed because of this bead, and in the future, she will inevitably fight and hurt you with you, and I will not allow her to be full of danger in the future. Shangguan Jin said.
Lan Chengyu suddenly understood, and remembered that the black mirror was indeed going to take some beads from Shangguan Yufei, which was also the reason why she was kidnapped and hit by the Soul Removal Technique.
"Uncle, I will do my best to protect Shangguan Yufei, I won't do anything dangerous in order to improve my cultivation, how can there be any fight for no reason?" Lan Chengyu retorted.
"It's not that I don't believe you, but in the face of great power, we sometimes have a hard time choosing, if you don't do it now, will it be in the future? If you don't fight with others, others won't fight with you? Ten years ago, my younger brother Shangguan Rong was also a cultivator, and his affairs caused us to flee in all directions, and we were homeless for several years, and he disappeared and has not been heard from until now. Your world is full of competition and challenges, even with the cost of one's life. Shangguan Jin said.
It was the first time Lan Chengyu had heard that cultivators would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives in order to improve their cultivation, and neither the Mentor Dao Ran nor Feng Lingyu Pei had ever told him that he had worked so hard to cultivate and that he was going to live a life full of dangers without security, and even to lose his beloved for it!
Shangguan Jin looked at the complicated expression on Lan Chengyu's face, and knew that the words were too heavy, "Don't be discouraged, challenges and opportunities always exist at the same time, those immortals with strong immortal spells are also the envy of mortals, you should be brave to pursue your immortal path." It's just that I don't want to put Yufei in danger again, this time it's good to have your immediate rescue, what about next time? I want her to stay away from danger, so I hope you leave Shangguan Yufei, you can't protect her, and she also has her way to go, I hope you don't interfere in her life anymore. ”
Lan Chengyu didn't know what the cultivator was going to do in the future, he didn't even know what was going to happen after the selection, he didn't know how to assure Shangguan Jin that Shangguan Yufei would have a safe and happy life.
"Uncle, can it be that my cultivation path and love can only be incompatible?" Lan Chengyu looked at Shangguan Jin with red eyes, and then looked at the ceiling helplessly.
"Maybe not, I hope you understand a lot of things I can't explain to you. Yufei also has her own future, I only hope that her future path will be smoother, she can stay away from danger and threats, separation is the best choice for your future, I hope you can understand. Shangguan Jin said.
Lan Chengyu really didn't understand the specific reason why Shangguan Jin wanted him to leave, but he understood that for the sake of Shangguan Yufei's future, for Shangguan Yufei's safety, and for his own not to drag Shangguan Yufei down, he needed to leave her.
Lan Chengyu was silent, yes, he also hoped that she would have a happy life in the future. Does he want to be selfish with her and put her in danger again?
After thinking for a moment, Lan Chengyu looked at Shangguan Jin and said with a little choked up, "Uncle, I promise you, leave Shangguan Yufei!
Shangguan Jin stood up and looked at Lan Chengyu, he understood that although he was very tactful, he still hurt the young man in front of him, but for the sake of his daughter, he could only do this.
"Thank you! Here are two million, a small reward on behalf of my Shangguan family, which is nothing compared to your kindness, I hope you don't refuse. Shangguan Jin took a bank card and handed it to Lan Chengyu.
"Uncle, I don't want it, I won't sell my love for money. I promised you to leave her, and you promised me not to measure us by money...... Uncle, can I meet Shangguan Yufei again, at least let's say goodbye!" Lan Chengyu's voice trembled a little, and he said with the pain in his heart.
"Okay, I'll take it back, you can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future, and we will help you without reservation, but you don't want Yu Fei to know about all this. And this is the elixir that relieves the poisonous needle demonic energy, and it is understandable that you still want to meet her, but you wait a minute, I want to ask her Grandpa Yuan's opinion. Shangguan Jin handed Lan Chengyu a bottle of elixir.
At this time, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and Shangguan Yuan said with a calm face: "There is no need for this, you are almost fine, just leave as soon as possible." ”
Shangguan Yuan's eyes showed great contempt and disgust for Lan Chengyu, which made Lan Chengyu feel uncomfortable.
"Isn't it okay to say goodbye as an ordinary friend?" Lan Chengyu asked.
"No, remember that from now on you have nothing to do with Shangguan Yufei, and you are not qualified to see her. Shangguan Yuan said that he had already thought about the plan to make Shangguan Yufei completely forget Lan Chengyu, how could he easily disrupt it.
Lan Chengyu suppressed the anger and grievances in his heart, and reached out to take out a necklace made of space spar from his arms, this spar was the largest space spar he had, with a storage space of 512 cubic meters, and he originally wanted to give it to Shangguan Yufei at the right opportunity, and by the way, tell her the magical secret of this spar.
At this time, it seemed that there was no chance, so I had to hand it to Shangguan Jin and ask him to transfer it to Shangguan Yufei, "Uncle, please transfer it to Yufei, since we can't meet, then this should be my parting gift." ”
Shangguan Jin frowned and just wanted to reach out to pick it up, but was picked up by Shangguan Yuan in advance.
"Space Crystal!" Shangguan Yuan took it in his hand and looked at it and said with a smile, "I took it for her, but she doesn't need it and won't see it, if she wants to break it, she will break it completely." ”
Shangguan Yuan held the space spar in his hand and clenched his fists hard, and when his hand was unfolded again, the space spar had turned into powder and was scattered on the ground.
"Grandpa, you...... Can't you even give a gift?" Lan Chengyu looked at Shangguan Yuan in surprise, not only surprised by his profound internal strength, but also surprised by his ruthlessness. Lan Chengyu's heart suddenly felt like it was being crushed!
"You are a little selected person, even if you really become a cultivator, you are a nameless ant, you are not qualified to have anything to do with the Shangguan family at all!"
Shangguan Yuan stretched out his right hand, and his palm pressed towards Lan Chengyu in the air. Lan Chengyu immediately felt that an irresistible force was pressing him hard, and the things in front of him fell into darkness, and his consciousness seemed to have fallen into the abyss of darkness.
Immediately, he wanted to use his internal force to resist, but found that his meridians were restrained by demonic qi, and he couldn't mobilize the qi of his dantian at all, and he felt that his body and consciousness were failing.
Fortunately, he didn't have the internal strength to resist, otherwise he would have to break the meridians under Shangguan Yuan's internal force, and his cultivation would be completely useless! Shangguan Yuan waited for a while, and found that Lan Chengyu didn't use his internal strength to resist himself, but he couldn't kill a selected cultivator so easily, so he had to withdraw his hand.
It took a while for Lan Chengyu to wake up from the dim abyss, the moment just now was really terrifying, as if he had walked on the edge of life and death, this Shangguan Yuan was too bullying!
But he didn't know that the danger just now was not to fall into the darkness of the abyss, but that he was almost secretly cultivated by Shangguan Yuan!
"Listen, you are not allowed to see Shangguan Yufei again, otherwise you will ......," Shangguan Yuan said after Lan Chengyu eased up.
"You want to bully the weak and force me to fail, you are really majestic! Then I won't agree, I want to see if you can manage it!" Lan Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily in his heart.
"Even if I'm a bully, you're not even weak, an ant! You don't deserve to compete with the Shangguan family! If it weren't for Shangguan Yao's intercession for you, I would have killed you at this moment. If you still dare to entangle Shangguan Yufei at all, this space spar will be your end. Shangguan Yuan pointed to the dust scattered on the ground and turned away solemnly.
Shangguan Jin also shook his head helplessly and left, this was not the result he wanted.
Leaving Lan Chengyu alone on the hospital bed to reminisce about the sad past, he thought of the mystery of the Shangguan family, since Shangguan Rong is a cultivator, then Shangguan Yuan must also be too, and he is not an ordinary cultivator, in the end, Lan Chengyu's sadness turned into a self-deprecating laugh, but he really fell in love with her beyond his strength!
Especially what Shangguan Yuan said in his mouth, Lan Chengyu is not qualified to have anything to do with Shangguan Yufei! Could it be that the Shangguan family is so high!
Lan Chengyu couldn't help but think back to everything that had happened recently, the first time he and she met, the first time he talked, held hands, and kissed......
