Chapter 233: The Hope of Departure

Yang Xiaoling forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "I just met with my predecessors, why did you give me such a valuable thing for nothing?"

Murong Ke smiled and said, "If I say that I see you as a decent person and have clear grievances, so I want to give you this set of martial arts cheats, do you believe it?"

Yang Xiaoling didn't think about it, so he replied directly: "I believe it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 But I also know that there must be other deeper intentions for the reason why my predecessors did this."

"It's really ......", Murong Ke didn't deny it, and said with a simple smile: "I do have another intention."

"That's ......"?

Murong Ke looked up into the distance again, for a long time, and said lightly: "Because, I also want to leave this place."

When he said this, his eyes suddenly welled up with a look of fanatical anticipation.

It's just that what is he expecting?

"After 20 years of being trapped here, I've almost forgotten what the outside world is like, but that doesn't mean I don't want to go out. Anyway, there are two other people out there that I've always been concerned about."

"Your wife and daughter"?

"Yes, it's my wife and children. In this world, how many fathers can let go of their daughters, and there are those who are husbands who can let go of their wives"?

Yang Xiaoling's body shook violently, and his expression suddenly became painful. It's like Murong Ke's bland words, but it touches the heaviest pain in his heart.

But it's just a sentence, why does it cause such a strong emotional contrast among him.

Murong Ke was startled for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

After thinking about it again and again, he thought that he hadn't said anything wrong, but Yang Xiaoling's reaction couldn't help but put a layer of fog in his heart.

Is it that the young man in front of him still contains too much bitterness and anecdotes.

He was really curious about what kind of experience Yang Xiaoling had had.

Yang Xiaoling took a deep breath, his face turned blue for a while, as if his heart was so painful that it was even a little difficult to breathe. But he smiled effortlessly and said, "It's nothing."

Is he really nothing?

Murong Ke looked at Yang Xiaoling, as if he wanted to figure out something from his expression, but after a long time, he found nothing after all. He could only take his eyes off Yang Xiaoling, and then sighed with a little regret.

Yang Xiaoling's expression was indifferent, as if he had completely hidden his inner world.

I don't know when he never showed his heart to others again.

Perhaps, he has long been accustomed to loneliness and to hiding himself.

However, he was only one person after all. As long as it is an individual, there will be feelings, love and hate.

But he could only desperately suppress and hide his emotions.

This feeling was about to drive him crazy.

But he could only laugh, pretending to laugh. In fact, everyone laughs, and no one has ever laughed, but is laughter really just an expression?

Perhaps here in Yang Xiaoling, laughter is a means for him to disguise himself, a mask.

He smiled and said, "Why do you sigh seniorly"?

Murong Ke sighed and said, "I sigh just because I can't see through human nature."

Yang Xiaoling said lightly: "The most complicated thing in this world is human nature, how many people can see through it"?

I don't know when, Murong Ke looked up at the ethereal peak in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Do you know, for so many years, the reason why I have been struggling in this desperate valley is that in addition to not being able to let go of my wife and children, there is another equally important reason."

"Although the predecessors have fallen to this step, you still can't let go of the ethereal peak in your heart"?

"After all, that's the sect that raised me."

"I know ......", Yang Xiaoling smiled lightly: "Everyone will inevitably have some obsessions in their hearts, some for themselves and some for others." People who only care about themselves, in order to satisfy their greed and ambition, will do whatever they can to grab what they want, even if they hurt many innocent people, they don't care at all. And those who can't let go of others will choose to give and sacrifice."

Murong Ke sighed and said, "Perhaps, this is the difference between good people and bad people."

Yang Xiaoling said coldly: "There is no difference between people, therefore, there is no so-called good and bad people in this world, only the boundary between good and evil."

"Perhaps".

Yang Xiaoling asked again: "After so many years, who have you ever resented in your predecessors?"

Murong Ke was silent for a while, and after a long time, he smiled faintly and said, "It's false to say that there is no." After all, I'm just a mortal, and I naturally have mortal feelings, but it's been so many years, and I've long since let go."

Yang Xiaoling asked: "Then if Duanmu Jing is standing in front of you now, do you want to take revenge?"

"Revenge ......", Murong Ke smiled bitterly: "I'm a person who is dying, so what else do you want to take revenge." If there's anything I can't let go of in my heart right now, it's my wife and children and the Ethereal Peak. After all, Duanmu Jingxin is not right, and he doesn't know what Ethereal Peak has been made of by him over the years."

A worried look gradually appeared on the old man's face. It turned out that even though all these years had passed, he still cared about his sect and had not forgotten that he was once the head of the Ethereal Peak.

Yang Xiaoling looked at Murong Ke and suddenly sneered: "I really want to know, whether Duanmu Jing led Ethereal Peak astray, or whether the general environment of Ethereal Peak created Duanmu Jing's vicious femme fatale heart"?

Murong Ke was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean"?

Yang Xiaoling said coldly: "The predecessors have always said that the Ethereal Peak is chivalrous and righteous, and everyone in the door is a benevolent, righteous and high moral gentleman, but after so many years, do the seniors think that the current Ethereal Peak is still the original Ethereal Peak? Otherwise, how can there be a villain like Duanmu Jing who is ungrateful and can't even be said to be as good as a beast?"

Murong Ke was silent, only a wry smile.

It turns out that things in the world are always changing, and they are not changing from moment to moment.

And, of course, people. Isn't the human heart the most fickle and complex thing in the world?

Yang Xiaoling suddenly raised his gaze, and then quickly glanced at Murong Ke, and said, "Since the seniors have some concerns in their hearts, why don't they want to go up after so many years?"

"Go up to ......", Murong Ke kept repeating, and then sneered: "You mean, go out from here"?

"Of course".

"You just said that there are cliffs on all sides here, and there are more than 200 zhang, how to go up"?

Yang Xiaoling said in surprise: "Although there are cliffs on all sides here, with the martial arts of the predecessors, it is not difficult to get out of here."

"Martial arts ......", Murong Ke smiled miserably, and laughed at himself: "Take a closer look, where does I look like I have a little martial arts on my body"?

Yang Xiaoling couldn't help but be surprised, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Murong Ke suddenly complained a little: "Back then, I was thrown from the top of the Ethereal Peak by Duanmu Jing and broke my tendons, although I didn't die, my martial arts have long been lost."

In the morning breeze, in the cold snow, the old man told the past:

"At that time, although I was not killed on the spot, and I struggled to survive for so many years, I am now a wasted person. Besides, I'm afraid I don't have many days left."

The winter snow is sad enough, but the old man's state of mind at the moment seems to be a little more sad than the remnant snow in winter.

It's just that when he saw Yang Xiaoling, two dazzling looks suddenly appeared in his eyes that were almost shriveled, and he said with a smile: "Fortunately, after struggling for so many years, I finally waited for you." Maybe it's God's mercy that gives me hope to leave this valley in my lifetime. You have a tough temperament and a lot of talent, and with your qualifications, if you work hard enough, I think in less than a year and a half, you will be able to understand all of this ethereal method. At that time, not to mention the hundred-foot cliff in front of you, even if it is ten times higher, it will still be able to walk on the ground."

Yang Xiaoling stared at the object in his hand, and gradually, the resolute color on his face became stronger and stronger.

A cold wind blew, rolling up a burst of snow and hitting people's faces, only scratching people's cheeks and causing them to feel pain.

In the cold mountain wind, Yang Xiaoling stood in the cold and said lightly: "Please rest assured, senior, one day, I will definitely take you out of here, take you back to the Ethereal Peak, and reunite with your wife and children."

"Maybe, maybe there really will be this day".

"There will definitely be this day".

"Yes. It's just that I don't know when this day will come"?

"As long as the heart desires, I believe it will never be too far."

Yang Xiaoling's words are so firm, without a trace of hesitation and hesitation, let alone doubt.

After listening to him, Murong Ke suddenly smiled with relief. He laughed because he finally saw hope in this moment.

He believed in Yang Xiaoling as much as he believed in himself.

"Let's go in......", Murong Ke said, turned around and walked slowly towards the cave, and at the same time did not forget to remind Yang Xiaoling: "The hare you caught yesterday must be roasted almost ripe by this time."

Yang Xiaoling smiled slightly, and then turned around and followed.

In the cold air, it seemed that a faint fragrance had wafted from the cave.

In the sky, snowflakes gradually drifted again, sprinkling all the sorrow and joy in this sky.
