Chapter 15: Jinlan's Invitation
"Jinlan, you ......" Luo Lin had never seen such a beautiful Jinlan, and he was really surprised.
In Luo Lin's impression, although Jinlan was born beautiful, she didn't like to dress up very much, she almost always wore simple disciple clothes with a sword, and almost all of her time was spent on cultivation.
"Luo Lin, I'm sorry!"
"Ahh
"A few days ago, it was my bad attitude, I shouldn't have talked to you like that!" Jinlan looked at Luo Lin, looking very apologetic.
"Oh, that thing...... Actually, it's my fault, it's because I want to stop Jiang Wen that guy too much, so my mentality is a little unbalanced...... However, if you come to apologize for that incident, you will look down on me too much, I will never hold a grudge against you!" Luo Lin said and laughed.
Jinlan didn't have a smile on her face, but suddenly a trace of worry appeared, she looked up at Luo Lin seriously, and only after a while did she ask, "Luo Lin, are you willing to give up the graduation meeting for me?"
"What......? Why?" Luo Lin was really taken aback by Jinlan's words, and didn't know why Jinlan said this, "Jinlan, please believe me, I will definitely be able to defeat Jiang Wen, and I will never let that guy have a chance to enter the Zhantian Alliance and get close to you, and I must enter the Zhantian Alliance with you!"
Jinlan shook her head, "This has nothing to do with Senior Brother Jiangwen, but ...... I'm not going to be attending this year's graduation meeting, so I hope you don't take any risks either!"
"What? Could it be that Jinlan has to wait another year or two? In fact, with your current strength, even if you don't cultivate, you can definitely advance after two years, so why wait any longer?"
Luo Lin thought that Jin Lan was afraid of the fierce competition in the graduation conference, so she would have to wait for an extra year or two, after all, they were only sixteen, and most of the disciples of the sect chose to participate in the graduation meeting at the age of eighteen, so the chances of winning the competition would be greater.
If you get the top ranking in the final meeting, you will be matched with the opponent who ranks lower among the finalists in the next selection meeting, so as to have an advantage, get good results, and be favored by the Battle Sky Alliance.
"No, I'm not going to attend this year's graduation meeting, not to wait an extra year or two, but to all the graduation meetings...... I won't be participating!"
"However, if you don't participate in the graduation meeting, how can you enter the Battle Heaven Alliance, what a pity do you suddenly give up now?" Luo Lin persuaded very puzzled.
Jin Lan shook her head in frustration, "Everyone has a fate that he must experience and a responsibility to bear, the Battle Heaven Alliance has never been my purpose and choice, there is no giving up, and there is no pity ......"
"But since you were a child, you have cultivated so hard, isn't it to enter the Battle Heaven Alliance......?
"For ......" Jin Lan didn't say any more, "Luo Lin, if you want to attend the graduation meeting because of me, are you willing to give up the graduation meeting for me, are you willing to go with me?"
"Where are you going?"
"To a faraway place, my hometown, the land of the moon!"
Luo Lin was really surprised, surprised that Jinlan's choice was like hers, and he didn't react for a long time.
After all, in the current society of the Terrans, the Zhantian Alliance is the political and military group at the top of the Terrans, they protect the Terrans, and at the same time control everything, enjoy all taxes and resources, and each sect also sends the top disciples to them, and the disciples are also proud to enter the Zhantian Alliance.
As long as you enter the Zhantian Alliance, you will become a respected Zhantian warrior, your status is naturally noble, and you will enjoy richer cultivation resources, receive higher-level teaching, and even have the opportunity to enter the realm of Shenwu, and in life, as a Zhantian warrior, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and there is also a monthly salary equivalent to a year's money for a people's husband.
And if you can't enter the Zhantian Alliance, there are only two paths, either to become a folk man who works hard in the fields, or to become a ranger who sleeps in the open and sleeps around.
In fact, most of the disciples in the academy will return to work in the fields in the future to become folk husbands, or wander around for a living, and there are still very few who can become warriors in the sky.
In this last age of the human race, living is a test, let alone living with dignity, which is a truth that everyone understands in their hearts.
If it weren't for the existence of the Zhantian Alliance, countless children might have been chased by the demonic claws and the big sword of the demon Shaluo from the moment they were born, and it would never have been possible to study in peace without worrying about food and clothing.
For hundreds of years, for everyone, the ten years of study are simply a paradise of life, and once it is passed, there is no shelter, and you must make a choice about the fate of life, and the so-called fate choice is the graduation meeting of the sect.
If not, why is the competition so fierce, even at the cost of killing and shedding blood.
And even if you desperately make a choice, the result is actually not happiness.
Even if you pass the sect graduation meeting and fail to win in the Battle Sky Warrior Selection Competition, you will still fall off the list, then in the end, you still have to return to the field to become a people's husband, as a field man, you have to work hard, otherwise you will lose your fertile land and your family will starve to death;
And those who have gone through hardships to become warriors in the sky only look noble and enjoy the glory of nothingness, as warriors in the sky, they need to fight for their lives, resist the invasion of demon beasts and demon demon army legions, and bloody the battlefield until they die.
And for those who choose to become exiled rangers, starvation is the most basic thing, and the Zhan Tianmeng's care for them is only twelve words, that is: no land and no land, fend for themselves, and they will be punished for evil!
This is the reality that this world sees when it opens its eyes, and the cruelty that it cannot be concealed, but the entire human race can be maintained for so long, and the Zhantian Alliance is indeed indispensable.
"Are you willing to give up the graduation meeting for me, and will you come with me?"
This was Jinlan's invitation, and Luo Lin finally understood why she came dressed so costumely, and naturally understood what it meant.
Luo Lin's heart suddenly trembled, and he reached out and gently touched Jinlan's pink and beautiful cheeks, like touching a delicate flower, and he didn't dare to exert any more strength.
"If I had a choice in my life, I think I would probably ...... I am willing to rest at sunrise and sunset, lead a lifetime of ploughing cattle for you, or become a wandering ranger for a lifetime, carrying you to the ends of the earth, as long as I can accompany you, I am willing to do anything...... But, I don't have a choice......"
Jinlan looked at Luo Lin, her eyes suddenly moistened when she heard this, and her voice was a little choked.
She still remembers when she was a child when the two of them frolicked by the stream and lake, she pretended to be her bride, he pretended to be his groom, he picked an autumn orchid and put it in her bun, and since then it has become her favorite flower...... He must have forgotten all about it!
Bean-sized tears, one by one, couldn't stop falling from the eyes full of expectations.
"Luo Lin, are you ...... Didn't you want to attend the graduation meeting for me? Didn't you argue with Senior Brother Jiang Wen because of me?"
"Yes, it's true that because of you, I want to participate in the graduation meeting, and I also want to participate in the selection of the War Sky Warrior, because I want to enter the War Sky Alliance, and I want to be with you!"
"Then why are you ......?"
"But that's only half of the reason for me! There is another half of the reason why I can't go with you. ”
"The reason for the other half? What is that?" asked Jinlan, crying.
She thought that her status in Luo Lin's heart was more than everything else, but Luo Lin's answer made her feel ridiculous.
Luo Lin looked at Jinlan seriously and said, "As you said, everyone has a fate that he must experience and a responsibility to bear, and my other half of the reason is that I must enter the Zhantian Alliance as quickly as possible, which is my responsibility and destiny, and it is also a commitment." ”
"Promise?" Jin Lan repeated Luo Lin's words, she didn't know that many years ago, when he wore that Qiu Shan Lan in her short bun, the sentence he said, "I must marry you", was not a promise.
"Because I have a promise to save the rise and fall of the human race with my best efforts, I must do my best to enter the Battle Heaven Alliance......!
Saying this, Luo Lin showed an exaggerated smile on his face, but behind the exaggeration, there was the same exaggerated and deep helplessness, he knew that this was an unconvincing reason, although it was a real reason.
"How? Doesn't it sound funny? Hahahaha, I'm lying to you again......" Luo Lin laughed even more exaggeratedly.
Jinlan looked at Luo Lin who was smiling, tears poured down in an instant, she couldn't say that she didn't believe it, although he was still so good at lying, but she really couldn't help but say that she wasn't disappointed......
But even if you say it, what if you beg for sympathy?
The unconcealable sadness and loss on her face became more obvious, but she had never been a crying girl, and wiping away the tears on her face, Jinlan suddenly laughed easily.
Although it was a stubbornness that could be seen through at a glance, Luo Lin didn't want to debunk it.
"On the eve of this year's graduation meeting, the clan will pick me up and leave the place where I have lived for eleven years, no matter what, we have been good friends for so many years, I can't cheer for you at the graduation meeting, really, it's a pity......" Jinlan tried to make herself look like nothing, but she couldn't calm her trembling voice.
If the path of fate has meeting points, then there must also be forks in the road, but everyone can't predict their arrival.
"Good friend for many years...... "The distant country of the land of the moon is her hometown, and the Zhan Tianmeng is my must choose, maybe friends, really have the best feelings for each other, and the final annotation."
"It's okay! at least I'm here to finally wait for you, and finally be able to send you away, as a friend, it's complete, right?" Luo Lin still smiled.
When Jinlan heard this, she tried to hold back the tears, and in an instant, she burst the embankment again, and she couldn't help covering her snort, turned around and ran away crying......
Luo Lin looked at Jinlan's lonely back, and his eyes were finally moist.
