Chapter 168: A Long-cherished Wish

Yang Xiaoling didn't know, and at the same time, he also knew, not only did he not know, but the eldest brother himself didn't know. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that moment, seeing Yang Xiaoling's expression in pain, and there were still words in his mouth, Murong Ke asked puzzledly, "What are you muttering about?"

Yang Xiaoling was startled, immediately came back from his contemplation, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing...... It's nothing. Uh, by the way, where did you say just now, so let's go on."

As he spoke, he quickly and deliberately turned his face to the side, for fear that Murong Ke would notice that his expression was different just now.

Murong Ke always felt that Yang Xiaoling was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it in his heart, and continued: "Maybe Duanmu Jing thought that I was certain to die at that time, so he threw me off the top of the Ethereal Peak. You must know that in this thousand-year-old valley, some wild beast may eat my corpse, and no one will come down to look for a valley like this, which has never been visited since ancient times. Or even if someone wants to come down, there is no way to get down, so I can really say that I can't see anyone alive or dead. My whereabouts have since become a mystery that no one knows, and it is in his best interest that way."

Yang Xiaoling said disapprerovingly: "It's a pity that Duanmu Jing probably never dreamed that you were still alive, senior."

"Yes, it's ...... to be alive", Murong Ke said with relief: "Anyway, it's always a joy to be alive, right?"

Yang Xiaoling's expression was cold, neither nodding nor shaking his head in denial, and he didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations.

Indeed, it is a joy to be alive, especially if one foot has stepped into the ghost gate and can come back to life again. But for Yang Xiaoling at this moment, being alive is just making him sad.

Murong Ke finally smiled again this time. He smiled and said, "It stands to reason that I only had my last breath left, and I was thrown down from the top of the Ethereal Peak by Duanmu Jing, in that case, there was absolutely no way out." But perhaps it was the branches and vines that grew across the cliff that slowed me down, and when I reached the bottom, I fell on the crown of a large pine tree, which is why I am still alive."

Yang Xiaoling smiled sadly: "It seems that the luck of the two of us is really good, and the experiences of the two of us are also strikingly similar."

"Maybe, this is fate......", Murong Ke smiled bitterly: "But what about luck, in this desperate valley, what is the difference between living and dying."

Yang Xiaoling obviously didn't want to talk too much about this issue, so he changed the topic and said: "Since you were already seriously injured at that time, I don't know how you survived in this desperate valley for a full nineteen years?"

A little frustration flashed on Murong Ke's face, and he said indifferently: "Under that circumstance at that time, I was indeed certain to die, but I really resented it in my heart. If I die like that, then what will happen to my hatred, so I want to live, and I will make Duanmu Jing pay for what he has done."

Yang Xiaoling was silent, thinking that at the beginning, he was not also for revenge, but if a person lives just for revenge, then is it too sad for him to live.

Sighing, he said lightly: "What about now, after so many years, are the seniors still unable to let go of the hatred in their hearts?"

Murong Ke didn't answer immediately, and after being silent for a while, he said blankly: "You see that I am like this now, what revenge do I have...... Haha......".

With a bitter laugh, Murong Ke turned his head to look at the dark night outside the cave, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you take revenge or not."

The old man had already figured it out and looked away. However, among these thousands of sentient beings, how many people still can't see it.

In other words, no one can see the grievances and hatreds in the world, and those who think they have let go are just tired of it.

Yang Xiaoling couldn't help but have a little more respect for the old man in his heart. Just imagine, how many people in this world can have such a mind as him, and how many people can really let go of the past right and wrong.

Isn't it worthy of respect for such a person?

At that moment, Yang Xiaoling asked respectfully: "Then I don't know if at this time, there are any unfulfilled long-cherished wishes in the hearts of the seniors?"

"Long-cherished wish ......", Murong Ke was slightly stunned, and said after a long time of silence: "If I want to say that I still have any unfulfilled wishes in my heart at this time, there is really one."

Yang Xiaoling immediately said: "In this case, the seniors may wish to tell me your wishes to see if I can help you."

Murong Ke was overjoyed, but he didn't immediately say what he wanted, but hesitated for a while before saying, "Are you serious?"

Yang Xiaoling's heart couldn't help but sink, looking at the old man's appearance, thinking that this wish must have a very heavy weight in his heart. He really didn't know if he could help the old man achieve it, but he didn't want to ruin the old man's interest, so he nodded firmly.

Murong Ke was overjoyed when he saw Yang Xiaoling nodding, but his face suddenly became melancholy, and after a while, he said: "In fact, the reason why I have been living tenaciously in this desperate valley for so many years is that in addition to wanting revenge at the beginning, there is another more important reason."

"What reason"?

"My family ......", Murong Ke smiled kindly, and said slowly: "The main reason why I have persevered for so many years is because I can't let go of my family, and I always look forward to one day being able to go out from here alive to meet my wife and daughter."

The more the old man spoke, the more energetic he became, and he gushed endlessly: "You don't know, my wife is the best woman in the world, she is not only gentle and virtuous, but also understands me best. And my daughter, who is the smartest girl in the world, who was just six years old when I had an accident."

Listening to the old man's words, Yang Xiaoling suddenly smiled, and laughed for a while. He suddenly felt that his mood was much better. Although he has not yet started a family, as a man, he fully understands the mood of the old man.

It was one of the warmest feelings in the world, a feeling that only husbands and fathers could understand.

Yang Xiaoling calculated carefully in his heart and asked, "Senior, you have been here for nineteen years, and your daughter was just six years old at that time, that is to say, your daughter is twenty-five years old this year"?

As he spoke, he muttered again, "Isn't that the same age as me."

This year, Yang Xiaoling also happened to be twenty-five years old.

"Yes, count the age, my daughter is indeed twenty-five this year, but she is just ......", speaking of this, Murong Ke's face suddenly swelled with a deep look of pain, and he said in a low voice: "I just don't know if she is still alive."

"Ah......", Yang Xiaoling was shocked and said in surprise: "Why do seniors think so"?

Murong Ke laughed miserably: "Under the nest, how can there be eggs, since Duanmu Jing has taken action against me, how can he let my family go!"

Yang Xiaoling felt sad for a while, but he still smiled reluctantly, comforted the old man, and said: "Having said that, the seniors should still think more about the good side, after all, although Duanmu Jing treated you like this, how dare he make a move again and again." Come to think of it, your daughter should have grown into a big girl by now, maybe she is already married, and maybe even gave birth to two eldest grandchildren."

"Haha......", Murong Ke was amused by Yang Xiaoling's words, and felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Borrow your auspicious words, if this is the case, I will have no regrets in this life."

"It will definitely be, as long as you believe in it, your wish will definitely come true......", Yang Xiaoling's tone was firm, and then he asked again: "Senior, but I don't know what your daughter's name is"?

Murong Ke suddenly said proudly: "Murong Yan."
