Chapter 144: Thirty Years of Nangong Lian
The atmosphere in the side hall was quiet and a little weird. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Elder Lan looked at the son-in-law in front of him, who was completely different from usual, and seemed to have some words on his lips, and his own smile stiffened a little.
Elder Lan had a very bad feeling in his heart, he seemed to have guessed what Nangong Lian was going to tell him, but he didn't want to think about it anymore. There were things that had been hidden for many years, and he didn't want to reveal them.
All along, Elder Lan had a kind of apology for the person in front of him.
"Ah Lian, what's going on with you today, you always talk weirdly. Elder Lan's smile became a little strange, and he tried his best to make himself appear calm and natural, but in Nangong Lian's eyes, it didn't have such an effect.
"Dad, in fact, I know all about Xun Changfeng. Nangong Lian said softly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, talking about an inconspicuous person, but when these words fell on Elder Lan's ears, they could cause a burst of turbulence.
The old man sat stiffly in his chair, unable to recover for a moment.
"Over the years, you have hidden some things, but in fact, I know very well in my heart, but I just pretend not to know. β
"I remember the first time I saw Xun Changfeng, at that time I didn't know Xie Yu, at that time my father had just died, I was promoted by the president because of my father's relationship, and I was fortunate to go out with the elite team in the club to do tasks, when I heard that it was Xun Changfeng who led the team, I didn't even fall asleep all night when I was excited. β
Nangong laughed twice in a row, recalling the picture of the past thirty years, and felt that he had experienced some vicissitudes. Elder Lan didn't speak, listening to him alone.
"At that time, Xun Changfeng was not only in the Doushi Club, even if he looked at the entire Yunran Continent, his reputation was very great, and he was an idol in the hearts of our young people, how many amazing things he had done. I remember that the girls in the club hated going on missions, after all, running back and forth, and their lives were in danger during the battle. But one of the exceptions is that when he leads the team, the girls will go crazy and try to squeeze in, at that time, a girl came to me and gave me a Shengyao treasure, at that time it was still a peaceful era, the Shengyao treasure was already very precious, and she paid such a big price just to make me feign illness and withdraw from that mission, and then she had a good chance to replace me. β
Elder Lan laughed and said, "Interpretation is like this, I did a lot of stupid things when I was young, but that's all in the past, you should also understand that there will always be some naΓ―ve and unrealistic fantasies when you are a girl." β
Nangong Lian smiled and said, " At first, I thought this idea was really ridiculous, because the mission was originally a very serious matter, so it would seem like a child's play, but in the end I actually agreed, maybe because of the persistence of the interpretation, or maybe because I also felt that I could go out on a mission with Xun Changfeng all year round, and it was nothing to be absent once in a while, but it was during that mission, our team was ambushed by evil cultivators, and suffered heavy damage, I was absent at the time and was fortunate to escape the catastrophe, at first I felt lucky, but then I felt very unluckyγ β
"In that battle, it was almost by his own strength that he was able to repel the strong enemy and save most of the people's lives. Later, my uncle felt that it was too dangerous to go out with the team to do the mission, so he transferred me to the military deacon, and I stayed there for thirty years. β
"I never thought that I hadn't seen Xun Changfeng again in the past thirty years, although we were both in the Doushi Club, I just heard that he continued to get stronger and stronger, and completed one incredible task after another, which was impossible to complete even if he was another person. β
Then I found out that I was actually in love with the girl who was only a one-sided relationship, and then I began to inquire about her in many ways, and finally learned that she was the daughter of the vice president of the presbyterian association, and after hearing the news, I ran to the presbyterian meeting to find her as soon as possible. β
Nangong Lian raised his head, looked at the hall where the Elders' Council was located, and said with a smile: "At that time, the Elders' Council had not been relocated, and the conditions were naturally not as good as now, I saw her in front of the Doushen Statue in front of the Elders' Council, and I also saw you." Speaking of which, it was the first time I saw you, and you had a very bad face at that time, and it seemed that you were arguing with Xie Yu, and the scene was very stiff. β
Elder Lan thought about it, but found that he couldn't remember that scene at all, because of that person, he had quarreled with his daughter many times over the years, and he really didn't remember it anymore.
"I was too timid to step forward, I could only watch from a distance, until I ran away crying alone, I dared to muster up the courage to catch up and comfort her, but she was regarded as ill-intentioned and slapped in the face. β
"Then I began to muster up the courage to chase her, perhaps it should be said that it was more appropriate to be nice to her, she was very irritable at first, but she really couldn't resist my entanglement, so I could only choose to ignore it completely, and I didn't dare to confess to her, but I had already guessed that she belonged at that time, and I could guess that the person was roughly him. β
"Then you saw my feelings for Xie Yu, found my mother, and planned to marry her to me, of course I was very happy, and then the marriage was held naturally, of course, I also knew that Xie Yu was unwilling to marry me, and I had trouble with you many times, and I also considered not to be difficult, but I really loved her, so I selfishly pretended not to know anything, and then finally got married. β
"Over the years, you have been hiding from me, and I have pretended not to know, in fact, it can't be called hiding from me, after all, it's all in the past, and there is no need to hold it on. Besides, Xie Yu has been very concerned about me over the years, and she has not done anything to be sorry for me, for that person, I used to hate, but since I had Yingying, that hatred has gradually faded, and I don't even know when it started, every time I think of that person, I feel that he is still the legendary person in my heart, and I have done a few tasks with him, and the only intersection with him is Xie Yu, but now there is one more intersection. β
Elder Lan had been listening to these words quietly, when Nangong Lian raised his head, he was already in tears, because of this incident all these years, the relationship between him and his daughter has not been good, and he has no taste in his heart, now he knows these things when he hears his son-in-law say these things, Elder Lan even feels like he is actually living in his own world.
"Ah Lian, I'm sorry for you all these years. Elder Lan's eyes were full of sadness.
Nangong hurriedly held the old man's hand and said: "Dad, I told you today that I have no intention of complaining, on the contrary, I am very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to take care of and love Xie Yu, in fact, I can feel it, Xie Yu has come out of that relationship a long time ago, she sometimes thinks of those things, it is just a memory of the past, since she is no longer attached, then why should you be obsessed." β
"Am I persistent?" Nangong Lian was stunned and puzzled.
Nangong Lian nodded and said, "I said before that Ying Ying is not the same as his mother, she is not a child who will accept the arrangement, and the story between Xie Yu and that person can be regarded as a better ending for the next generation to be together in this way." β
"Of course, I'm not pretending to be a gentleman's generosity, nor am I going to you to talk nonsense because I have some mental problems, but because I love my daughter, I had someone I loved deeply at that time, I tried to pursue it, and then I was able to marry her, and now I also hope that my daughter can do the same, I feel this feeling. β
"But that kid is too showy, and has become the target of public criticism, Yingying is too dangerous to be with him. Elder Lan sighed and said with great concern.
Nangong Lian shook his head and said indifferently: "The current situation, how can there be danger and safety at all, everything changes in an instant, and how many things are we can grasp, Ying Ying is different from Xie Yu, she is a cultivator with extraordinary talent, and Xie Yu is a quiet and gentle lady, their paths are different after all." β
"I heard others talk about things in Youyun Valley, which reminds me of the time when I was on a mission with that person, they are worthy of being father and son, they are really too similar, but that man's son is more powerful than him, and he can accomplish more impossible, just like the public opinion dominated by the Six Dao Alliance is suppressing him now, but how many young people worship him as a god and are crazy for him. β
"Sometimes I think that if I had to switch to Jie Yu or Yingying, I might have made the same choice. What could attract a woman more in this world than a fight like that. β
Elder Lan was still a little reluctant to change and said, "It's because the authorities are obsessed, so I have to think about her happiness, lest she regret it in the future, or leave the tragedy of that person's wife's family." β
"There is no if in the world, why is your idea not a big gamble, in fact, what I want to see the most is more what Xie Yu wants to see, because I love her, so I accommodate her. She wanted her daughter to be happy, and I wanted to see her smiling face, so I made the decision. β
"Actually, some things are easy to understand when you think about it, just like when I was chasing the words, don't talk about danger, even if I die for her immediately, I won't frown, if I told you at that time that I wouldn't love her because of danger, would you still be relieved to hand her over to me?"
Elder Lan didn't even know how to answer this question at this moment.
So the person we are looking for her should be someone who can share the hardships in danger, not someone who can only enjoy peace with her. β
"But I still think it's like that multiple-choice question thirty years ago, when I made the right choice, like an explanation, can you say that she is not happy? Why are you sure that Yingying will not meet a person like you in the future!"
"Then how can you be sure that it will. β
Nangong Lian stood up and said a word slowly, and this sentence made Elder Lan's whole body freeze there.
"My Nangong is not as good as Xun Changfeng, but at this point, I believe that there are few people in this world who can compare to me. β
"I'll go out first, and I ask you to keep today's incident a secret from the interpreter. β
The door of the side hall slowly closed, and Elder Lan's thoughts returned, looking at the closed hall door, the whole person was slightly stunned again.
It's like being in a dream.
