"In other words, some people's plans are going to fall through." Lin leaned down and stared at her with a slight dissatisfaction, "Don't be too stubborn you two. A tendon isn't a bad thing, but at least you should figure out what is really worth doing—"

"Reviving the Qi Kingdom, or destroying the monsters, is just a means." The pink girl calmly spoke, "Water clouds, and Wei Feng." From the beginning, you joined the purpose of the pale...... It's about protecting the people you care about. ”

Shui Yun knelt on the ground and closed his eyes. She didn't know how Wei Feng responded, but she nodded slightly.

Suddenly it rained in the sky, and the extremely thin rain fell on her head and arms, with a hint of coolness, soothing the waves in her heart. The noise in the distance seemed to have faded, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the drizzle of the leaves and the soft sound of the eaves.

I don't know how long later, the rain stopped. With the gentle snowflakes rolled up, a group of people who were both familiar and strange surrounded her. She looked at the faces in front of her in turn, matching them with the people in her memory.

The gaze cast at her was not reproachful, nor complaining, but only trust and care. Countless words rolled through his chest, but in the end, everything condensed into just three words.

"I'm sorry." She hung her head, unable to bear to look at them again. The responsibilities of the parents, the expectations of the clansmen, and the waiting and persistence for more than ten years have finally failed to exchange anything. "I'm sorry ......"

The thin old man approached slowly, opened his hands, and gently embraced her in his broad arms. It felt a bit like her father, a warmth she hadn't had since she became the "Lord of the Mist".

"Thank you for your hard work." She heard the old man sigh lightly, his voice a little low, "So, it's time to give up, Shui Yun." ”

She bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say. She could understand what the old man meant, but she couldn't accept it immediately.

"And after that." Shui Yun stared at her feet and choked in a low voice, "I can't just ...... like this" The clansmen who are not in front of her, what the fate will be in the future, she doesn't even dare to imagine. "You shouldn't ......"

The old man let go of the arm that was wrapping around her, took a step back, and slowly straightened up.

"That's not your responsibility alone." He said in a deep voice, as serious and serious as he was when he was still with his father, "Each of us must be responsible for our own choices. ”

Another hoarse voice came, and the face of his former friend was haggard, trying to hide his uneasiness, and there was a faint glint of water rolling in his eyes.

"We'll try to stay in the Empire." Yan Qing glanced at her, and then looked away slightly, "Go to a city that can accept us and find a way to live." She paused for a moment, as if to calm down, "Maybe it will take a long time, but it's not your fault, Sister Shuiyun." Everything is ...... Our stubbornness, the price we have to pay. ”

Shui Yun did not answer. She felt like her chest was full of stones, but she forced herself to look at the face of her childhood friend. Farewell at this moment, many clansmen inside and outside Xin'an may not be able to reunite for the rest of their lives-

Until someone patted her on the shoulder, and the strength was a little strong, just enough to make her sober up.

"It's good to give up wrong obsessions, but it's not over yet." The blonde girl glared at her, and said, "Who said you should be left to your fate—then we will not be in vain?" ”

"And what are you going to ......," she seemed to guess something, but was not sure of it, "how?" ”

Lin looked left and right for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed to the clear and cloudless blue sky.

"Look there."

The water clouds also look at the sky. The sun was a little harsh, and she squinted, feeling the warmth of her cheeks, praying silently in her heart.

At first there was nothing, and after a dozen seconds, a black dot appeared at the end of the sight. It approached rapidly, growing in size, and looked like a cylinder made of metal, with wide, thin iron wings protruding from its sides and tail.

It let out a shrill whistle, flew over the walls of Xin'an, swept over the heads of the crowd like lightning, and then ran to the other end of the city.

"Wow." Lin Mu sent it away and poked Yuffe, "It's better than I imagined, should we make one too?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a faint boom came from afar, followed by a loud bang.

"—forget it." The blonde girl held her forehead, "Grace can't fly that fast, but at least she won't explode." ”

Shui Yun didn't have time to pay attention to their conversation. She pursed her lips as she watched as the two men emerged from beneath the cylinder and descended slowly but steadily to the ground.

She knew—and of course she had seen them: another daughter of "Luo Zhen", an envoy of the Alliance, who lived in the starry sky of Xiyang City all year round; And the youkai nominal...... No, maybe already the actual "king", Anya.

The young 'Demon King' in a ceremonial dress softly thanked the stars, then walked past her and walked straight to the head of the "Earth".

"Long time no see, Wei Feng." She said sincerely, "Remove their spells, Yufie, thank you." ”

The pink girl did as she was told. Wei Feng slowly straightened up and looked at Anya condescendingly.

"What do you want to say?" The man's eyes were cold, and he seemed to have no remorse.

Anya looked at him without showing any weakness. "I know your past." She said, "Thirty-three years ago, the Broken Scattered Society attacked the town of Amethyst in Onyx, killing more than half of the village's residents, including all of your family. ”

A kitten jumped out of her arms and turned into a seemingly young child, looking at Wei Feng with some timidity.

"His name is Fushihara, and he was one of the members of the "Breaking Meeting." Anya didn't care about the man's sudden cold gaze, as if telling a fairy tale, "And he joined there because only six years after the 'psychic', the 'parents' who raised him died at the hands of humans." ”

"He's the demon you hate. And I, as a human being, are also on the side of the Alliance. Anya walked up to the boy, less than two feet away from the Earth King, "If you can calm down because of this, you can kill us now." ”

Wei Feng clenched his fists, as if he wanted to swing at the two people in front of him, but in the end he just shook his head slightly. Shui Yun swallowed uneasily and heard the girl's next words.

"Wei Feng, "Breaking the Meeting" no longer exists."

"With the help of all the elders of the Alliance, and many others, we destroyed it. Most of the core members are imprisoned in Xiyang City, and they will only be released gradually if they ensure that they do not cause any more trouble. Her voice was softer, but still firm, "Those who still intend to hold on for revenge...... All returned to the embrace of nature. ”

Shui Yun took a soft breath. The girl's words were an understatement, but the "King of the Mist" knew very well what level of determination and strength it would take to do this in a dozen days.

"In the future, there will still be youkai killing humans, and there will also be humans who will attack youkai. That is no reason to pit an entire race against each other, or to start a war. Those who need to be restrained and punished, whether humans or youkai, are just individuals. ”

The woman in white looked at Wei Feng, and finally wavered a little when she saw the man's iron-solid expression.

"Maybe it's too good to be believed—" Anya took a light breath and stared into Yu Feng's eyes, "but you, who have experienced the pain of parting, are just as ...... as Leia You should yearn for such a world, right? ”

The girl closed her mouth, and there was silence in the garden. Yu Feng stared at Anya wordlessly for a long time, then turned his back.

"I don't believe you." The man snorted lightly, his tone cold, "If you go against what you say at this time, even if you are human, I will take your life with my own hands." ”

He turned to Yuffie and Lynn not far away, "Help me tell the Dark King...... Wei Feng is incompetent and has a negative trust. ”

"Don't worry." Yuffie smiled and replied, "She understands." ”

The man slowly melted into the earth and disappeared without a trace. Anya turned around and came to Shui Yun.

"Perhaps this is a bit hasty......," the girl organized her words, "as the King of Gipnes, I invite you and all the Yanwu who are willing to follow you to become a member of the Alliance. ”

Shui Yun opened her mouth slightly, not quite believing her ears—even if she had a similar idea...... Or a dream.

"The Union was about the size of the empire, and the number of inhabitants was only a quarter. I will find a suitable land to live in, and you and your people will work together to develop it. Anya looked at the people surrounding her, her eyes sympathetic, "But I can't guarantee that you will be able to integrate into the alliance and live in harmony with the youkai...... After all, as I told Wei Feng—" she said softly, "it's a beautiful dream." ”

Shui Yun stared at the face. The girl was no more than a teenager, not even half her age. When they first met, she still remembered that the other party was hiding behind Yuffie, and his face was full of unease. Now, a month has passed, and the 'king' of the demon clan is still young, but he has found the path he wants to take.

Once again, she looked back at everyone around her, and received encouragement and tolerance from every glance.

"Are you confident that you can achieve it?" She asked.

Anya shook her head, "I'm not sure, maybe it will take longer than my life to make it happen." She held out her hand to the water cloud, "But I want to try to get closer." ”

Shui Yun stood up straight with the girl's hand. She looked south of the courtyard, where the towering walls obscured her view from the outside. His legs were still a little numb, and the future was blurred...... Anya's promise seems beautiful, but since it is called a dream, there may be a time to wake up.

But at least she knew what needed to be done now.

"Please wait for me. Anya, Yuffie, Lin...... And everyone. The woman in white raised her hand and formed the familiar seal, "Those who believe in me, clansmen and subordinates...... Let me bring them back. ”
