Chapter 35 (28)
Lu Qian smiled with satisfaction, as if all the troubles in the world had left him, and he was really empty. He leaned his head gently over and said, "I think too much and tired. Now I can die in your arms and have a good sleep. I am satisfied. I have committed so many evils. God treats me... It's still good... These days, I often think about when we first met. At that time, we... didn't have so many intrigues, no such many power struggles, only you and me... you and I will fight stupidly, and we will plot against you and me together. The best time, when I was a teenager, I think more... I want to go back to that... that transparent and spotless era... Xueer, can I hear you call me, 'Brother Lu'?"
Nangong Xue called softly: "Brother Lu...Brother Lu..." Lu Qian's face was filled with an unprecedented sense, which was real joy, a smile that focused on his heart after taking off all the burdens. At that moment, it seemed as if his whole body showed holy light. At that moment, his half-open and half-closed eyes were freely placed, and his palms hung weakly on his side. There was still blood in his palms.
Nangong Xue suddenly felt that her body in her arms suddenly became cold, and it was almost unacceptable for a moment. She tentatively called out twice, "Brother Lu?" Lu Qian was still motionless, and her sleeping face was as peaceful as a newborn baby. Perhaps everyone was born so clean, and it was dust in the secular world that stained them with dirt. For this reason, it took a lifetime to pay off the debt. After working hard for a lifetime, the soul returned to heaven, and the soul returned to the original cleanliness, was saved, and was also liberated.
Nangong Xue didn't think of so many things, but thought of a person who occupies an important part of his life and suddenly left his own world quietly. From then on, his face could only appear in memories, and even in his sleep, it was difficult to see him again. A person's disappearance will never happen again. Even if he is reincarnated, it is another person. Everything that belongs to him is the end.
This sudden heavy blow was like a torrent, almost knocking her down. She cried: "Brother Lu!" and she couldn't help but let out a sad voice, crying heartbroken. Even she herself couldn't imagine that she could be so sad and so many tears.
In her life, Lu Qian is a close enemy. Who would have thought that the one who could not let go of the most was him.
When he was in the Shadow Sacrifice, he witnessed the death of Dark Night, and then he felt as if his heart was tightened. He was burned to the point of ashes in the fire, and he refused to leave even the time to say anything else. When he was gone, life would still be the same, and she could still laugh with others. No one's fate would be disrupted. But there was a young life, buried forever in the cold soil, and all the joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness in the world had nothing to do with him.
The greatest sorrow in life is life and death. Even the death of these two people who thought they were ordinary friendship could make her cry to death. It is unimaginable that if one day, her most beloved master and her dearest senior brother, if they also left themselves and left her alone in this cold world without any care and warmth, how could such a day be called the world? Even hell is not even enough. If there is that day, perhaps all her courage and strength will completely collapse.
Li Yijie chased Jiang Liechen for a long time, but the distance between him became farther and farther, and gradually his body began to turn a little overturned. I remember that the original owner once told him that the true qi in his body was too strong, and even the method of suppression was too domineering, which was a first-class strong and strong guide. This caused great damage to the body. It was okay to use true qi in the short term, but he could not fight with others for a long time. At this time, he was gradually feeling exhausted. He knew it was difficult to catch up, so he had to turn back and look for Nangong Xue again.
Standing aside, he heard Lu Qian say goodbye. Although he didn't intend to eavesdrop, the conversation between the two still came into his ears. When Lu Qian persuaded them to get married, Nangong Xue agreed in an impulse.
This is really nonsense. The guests from all directions have already been invited. A few days ago, the bride disappeared and asked them to temporarily live in a nearby inn. After the incident was eliminated, the ceremony would be immediately made. If the cancellation was announced at this time, it would be a big joke. Why should a dead person always stay among two living people and obstruct their happiness?
But he also knew that Lu Qian had no more time left. He suppressed his annoyance and asked the two to say goodbye in the end. After Nangong Xue cried for a while, he still had no intention of getting up, he stepped forward to support her, patted her back gently, and said, "Xue'er, don't cry, don't be sad. This... this is not something we can change. It's all caused by the Seven Evil Demons, he is the culprit."
Nangong Xue's face was still covered with tears and said, "No, no, I know that this is all my fault. I am an ominous person at all and shouldn't have come back. If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have clashed with the Seven Evil Ghosts, you wouldn't have been so tired that Xuanshuang was taken away by him, and you wouldn't have killed Brother Lu... I really shouldn't have... I shouldn't have, never, I shouldn't have, at Shuiyue Temple, my beliefs should have been stronger. I would have been slandered earlier to avoid all troubles in the future. It's because I am not good, I shouldn't have any concerns or fantasies about this world. I shouldn't have agreed to your courtship because I was soft-hearted..."
Li Yijie's face darkened and said, "Are you regretting this? Because of his dying entrustment, you cannot refuse, or do you no longer love me? You are no longer planning to fulfill your engagement, are you?" Knowing that the final answer of this sentence must be affirmative, but still couldn't help asking more questions. After asking, my heart fell heavily.
Nangong Xue indeed said: "I'm sorry, senior brother, but I'm not not marrying you... I... at least have to wait for this period of time, and when you find Xuanshuang... As you used to say, when the Seven Evil Demons are eliminated, we will talk about marriage. Until now, I have understood the meaning of the saying "Why do the family be the one who has not yet been destroyed?" For men, it is a sense of responsibility that drives him to make progress and fight, because his life value has not been realized and his country has not yet stabilized; for women, it is the happiness she has worked hard to create, which will be easily broken..."
Li Yijie said hatefully: "These are all excuses for you! Even if you eliminate the Seven Evil Demons now, the evil in this world will be eliminated. At that time, there will still be minions rising everywhere, and the strongest and most widely spread is the new generation of riots. Do you understand that if you keep waiting, it will always be a cycle and you will never wait for the day when we get married. Why...what made you give up our feelings?"
Nangong Xue said anxiously: "No... No! I was just suddenly so scared that I had no confidence in our future. I could no longer bear the loss again. I would rather never have it than experience the pain of being deprived of it from my arms. It was incomparable to all pain, just like a layer of being pulled off by a belt and flesh... I hope to give us some time to figure out what we want. Maybe our ambitions are different, just like a civilian couple. The husband cannot pull his wife to the battlefield, and the wife cannot pull her husband into the kitchen;
Let us wait, time can change everything, and it can prove everything. If, after several years, when we defeat the Seven Evil Demons, we can still live and you are willing to ask me, then I will marry you. I just don’t want both parties to regret it, and let an awkward engagement become a burden to the future. But I love you, I will always love you, senior brother, if we are destined to be destined to be together in this life, my heart will still be yours. Please promise me... a more long-term future? Promise me, if you don’t regret it, you will not let each other down."
Li Yijie felt a burst of dryness in his throat and said with difficulty: "Okay, I promise you. No matter how you choose, I will support your decision. Before that, let's try to... not to meet."
Nangong Xue nodded and snuggled into Li Yijie's arms again, feeling farewell. Li Yijie also opened his arms and gently hugged her. The two hugged silently, but there was no passion when kissing, nor the passion for the moment of love when they were in trouble. They only supported each other and the two lonely hearts were close together. Just like two drowning people, they grabbed a driftwood and depended on each other on the undulating sea.
