Chapter 523: Follow
Yang Ling's words were calm and resolute, and every word was like a knife frozen in ice, cold and sharp. Her voice echoed in the wind, like a deep valley, full of sorrow and wailing. The deep gaze revealed the bitter grief, but the face was forced not to let any tears slip down.
"After that demonic incident, the two of us escaped disaster in Spring City, but he was killed by the demon beast." Although her voice was steady, there was a slight tremor at times, as if she was recalling that terrifying image. Hearing this answer, Ye Ning felt a throbbing pain in his chest, as if he had fallen into that nightmare scene.
I am going to avenge him." Yang Ling's voice was full of determination and determination, as if she was looking at the boundless sea ahead, she looked into the distance, and seemed to see where she would go in the future. She is no longer the gentle maiden, but a general determined to take revenge.
Ye Ning was silent, he looked at Yang Ling's firm back, and his heart was extremely shocked. He had never seen Yang Ling like this, and he never thought that he would hear her say such a firm oath in this situation. The memories of sixteen years ago came flooding into his heart, and he looked at the resolute Yang Ling in front of him, and his heart ached. He knew that a sea change had taken place between them.
Ye Ning didn't mention his relationship status again, he didn't want to stimulate Yang Ling, who was already devastated, but chose to be silent and hide the sourness in his heart. He can also deeply understand Yang Ling's pain and sorrow. That disaster not only took away Yang Ling's boyfriend, but also his own friends and teachers.
"yes, that disaster was terrible." Ye Ning spoke slowly, his voice filled with deep sorrow, "Ma Jiao died in that disaster, in front of my eyes." His words revealed endless regret and pain, as if the terrifying scene was once again sketched in front of his eyes.
"My teacher, Li Yin, also died in that disaster." Ye Ning's voice became a little trembling, as if he had returned to that moment of no return, every word was like a knife stabbed in the heart, and the pain was incomparable.
"Each of us has lost too much, so we must cherish the current hardship." Ye Ning finally said, his voice carrying a kind of pain and sadness. His words are full of mourning and praise for life, as if every word condenses his nostalgia for the past and his expectations for the future.
Their pain and sorrow, their loss and gain, have been deeply engraved in their hearts and become a part of their lives. Now, they can only choose to let go of the past, face the present bravely, and use their own efforts and strength to walk out of their own way.
Yang Ling didn't want to touch those painful memories anymore, her eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and then the topic turned to Ye Ning's itinerary: "Why did you go to the Western Continent alone?"
Her gaze was fixed on Ye Ning, and there was a little worry in her tone: "There are many demon beasts there, and I remember that you still can't drive a boat, can you rely on autopilot?"
Her voice revealed concern and warning to Ye Ning, although in her opinion, Ye Ning was now like a lamb rushing towards danger: "Are you going to die alone?"
This question is more like a reproach, as if questioning his decision. Yang Ling's understanding of Ye Ning was still sixteen years ago, and the abilities of the two were not much different, so she felt that Ye Ning was not much different from herself.
Faced with Yang Ling's doubts and worries, Ye Ning was silent for a moment. He looked at Yang Ling's serious expression, and felt an inexplicable comfort in his heart. In the past, she always cared so much about him, whether it was on the way to growth or when he needed help.
Ye Ning didn't intend to tell Yang Ling the true situation, he didn't want her to worry about these things, and he didn't want to involve her in these potentially dangerous affairs, not to mention that this was a confidential matter, and Yang Ling didn't have the level to contact this matter.
Therefore, he chose to bypass the question, followed Yang Ling's words, and replied in a relaxed tone, "That must be because the entire alliance top brass that it is enough for me to go alone."
He looked at Yang Ling with a smile, trying his best to reveal confidence and calmness in his expression and tone, intending to calm Yang Ling's worries: "Don't worry, the alliance has made the most complete preparations, and the journey from here to the Western Continent will be safe.
」
Hearing Ye Ning's answer, Yang Ling laughed lightly. There was some sarcasm and doubt in that laughter, and it seemed that he didn't fully believe Ye Ning's words.
"I don't know what your abilities, your strength, are?" She raised her eyebrows, looking at Ye Ning as she spoke, using her impression of Ye Ning sixteen years ago to question his conceit with her own opinion, "You are not much better than me. Is it enough for you to go alone?"
Ye Ning was not displeased with Yang Ling's ridicule, but instead smiled, a confident smile on his face. "Yes, it's enough for people of my level, and I don't need those big guys to come out at all."
He replied with a relaxed attitude, his expression full of affirmation and conviction: "Doesn't that just show that there is not much risk in this operation, and they are the most prepared for it. Even my rookie is enough, if you let those big generals come, it will be a bit overkill."
This kind of explanation, the same as not explaining, Yang Ling didn't hear the answer she wanted, but she also saw that Ye Ning didn't want to tell the true process of this matter, maybe this was confidential information, and Yang Ling was not worthy of contact.
Yang Ling understood Ye Ning's distress, Ye Ning finally found a reason to perfunctory her, instead of refusing directly, he really, she cried to death.
Yang Ling nodded in understanding, Ye Ning didn't want to say much, so she didn't want to continue asking. The two of them just walked all the way and chatted about how they were doing, but they didn't say anything about their work.
Yang Ling took Ye Ning to the front of a military ship, the hull was calm and huge, and it looked very spectacular. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the warship, her eyes full of seriousness: "This is one of the few warships that can still be used."
Yang Ling's tone was flat, as if he was telling an unchangeable fact, and he couldn't see any feelings between the two at all, more like two ordinary colleagues.
"I've turned on autopilot, just press the start button when you get on board." Yang Ling then added, his tone revealing a calmness and firmness. Although she was worried about Ye Ning's adventure, she couldn't stop him.
After speaking, she watched Ye Ning step onto the huge warship, start the engine, and slowly sail away from the port. Looking at Ye Ning's back getting farther and farther away, Yang Ling's heart was full of doubts, she didn't know what Ye Ning would encounter on this trip, and she couldn't foresee what his future would be, what she wanted to know more was why Ye Ning wanted to go to the Western Continent, how did he dare to go to the Western Continent, or was he alone!
Ye Ning stood on the board of the boat, looking at the ocean in the distance, his heart was full of excitement and determination. He knew that this trip would be full of unknowns and challenges, but he was not afraid, because sooner or later he would have to face all the difficulties, and it was only a matter of time before he went to the Western Continent, and he had to find out the details of this Western Continent first.
In the past days, on those dark nights, Yang Ling often heard a name named Ye Ning, he was so different that he left a deep imprint in that war-torn world. Ye Ning, he is committed to finding the possibility of peaceful coexistence between demon beasts and humans, and even in the distant Heavenly City, he has truly achieved this.
For Yang Ling, the name brings mixed emotions. She once had a friend named Ye Ning, and their fates were similar, they had both experienced the disasters brought by demon beasts, and they were both full of deep resentment towards it. Therefore, she had always thought that Ye Ning of Amagi was just the same name as her friend, an idealist who pursued peace, not a battle-hardened warrior.
And Ye Ning's strength is definitely not enough to support him to go around the Western Continent. If he dares to go to the Western Continent, he must have enough certainty, or even enough conviction.
So, a guess unfolded in front of her, and she found out that she was wrong. The idealist who pursued peace and friendship turned out to be the same person as the old friend she remembered in her heart. All of this made Yang feel unbelievable, and it also made her think more deeply about the road ahead.
The turmoil in Yang Ling's heart began to stir at that moment, and she decided to go to the mysterious Western Continent with Ye Ning. She knew that the land was full of unknowns and dangers.
However, Ye Ning's persistence and determination, which is "about the same strength as her, and stronger than her", made her feel that Ye Ning must be sure enough
To ensure the safety of the trip, you will decide to go there to seek peace with the demon beasts.
In this decision, Yang Ling clearly saw a new possibility, one that was completely different from fighting, revenge, and anger. She wanted to see what made Ye Ning, who had a similar experience to her and had experienced the baptism of war together, choose this seemingly desperate but bright path.
She wanted to understand what made Ye Ning see the possibility of peace, and what made him willing to take on heavy responsibilities and pick up burdens that others could not imagine. She was full of curiosity and doubts about Ye Ning's behavior, but at the same time, she also hoped to find answers from his experience and find her own way to liberation.
So, a firm decision sprouted in her heart, that is, she wanted to embark on a new journey, to pursue that new idea. It will be another adventure in her life, one that could change her fate.
Yang Ling's eyes were full of expectation, and at the same time, she also had no regrets, because she knew that only by doing this could she see more thoroughly and find her true self.
