Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Flimsy and Stupid Hope
"Ah, that's right. No one can judge the future. Maybe it's really as you said!" Hearing Chen Liang firmly say such confident words, Li Yuqi not only did not feel any concern, but instead smiled inexplicably, with wisdom that had seen through everything in his eyes flashing in his eyes.
Chen Liang didn't want to reply because it was meaningless. For these humble existences, it was enough to just use the final result to show it. He gradually settled down the somewhat messy thought and felt the quiet surroundings now.
Li Yuqi kept silent at this moment, but just slowly raised her head and looked up at the top. The clear and bright eyes covered by the night were looking up at the night sky above her head through the layers of branches and leaves. I don’t know what kind of night sky she saw through the prosperous branches and leaves, but it must be the intoxicating beauty. Her calm face showed an obsessive look.
Involuntarily, she stretched out her slender hand and tried hard to hold it up, as if she wanted to grab everything that she saw now.
"Hey, Taoist, do you think there are really gods in this world? They can meet gods who satisfy all wishes!" Li Yuqi murmured and said softly, still in the warm tone, but it seemed as if asking Chen Liang.
Chen Liang glanced at her and said nothing. The actions of this Confucian scholar, without any conspiracy, would have been boring and childish, and those words were just idiots and stupid words.
How can there be gods in this world? If we talk about the power of gods in this world that has never existed, only the Taoist sect in the inner sect.
In the end, Chen Liang jumped onto a big tree and rested somewhere, and did not say these sarcastic words to Li Yuqi.
After waking up the next day, Li Yuqi was no longer in the future. Chen Liang didn't want to do this anymore. He focused on practicing beside the big tree for a while, and then found his Taoist boy squatting aside with a frown, and then sighed and complained one after another.
Last night, Leng Li's reception was not inappropriate, but was particularly enthusiastic and hearty. Qing Ning enjoyed a treatment she had never had before going to bed and ate a lot of delicious snacks. But as soon as she opened her eyes and washed up, Leng Li arranged for her servants to prepare a sumptuous snack, which were extremely delicious.
But after she enjoyed these delicious foods, she went back to Jiangyang Temple to stay. Every night she thought of these delicious foods, she couldn't sleep.
Chen Liang smiled knowingly at this greedy Taoist boy, then reached out and touched her little head, and comforted her seriously.
After spending several hours absorbing the spiritual energy around the tree, Chen Liang walked towards Leng Xunyun's house with Qing Ning with a look of sorrow. While practicing here, Leng Xunyun sent people to invite Chen Liang several times, but every time he saw him practicing in front of the tree, he did not dare to disturb him. He did not dare to come forward and invite him respectfully after practicing.
"Thank you for saving my life yesterday. Xunyun is really grateful!" Seeing Chen Liang again, Leng Xunyun still insisted on thanking him again, and struggled with the help of others.
Sitting beside Leng Xunyun encouraging her, the girl in a light and thin long dress was Li Yuqi that Chen Liang saw last night.
In this place with plenty of light, Li Yuqi's appearance and posture can be clearly seen. This peaceful lady from An Xian is indeed enough to make the secular ants marvel at the crazy existence.
"Hmph!" When she saw Li Yuqi, Qingning quickly pulled Chen Liang back and snorted at her for some reason.
Seeing Chen Liang coming, Li Yuqi still smiled at him. After comforting Leng Xunyun a few words, she stood up slowly, dragged the light, thin long skirt, and walked out.
"I'm really sorry for disturbing Taoist, but because the matter is urgent, I have to bother Taoist." Leng Xunyun said with apologies while lying on the bed. She had been carefully instructed to the strange-tempered person in front of her, so she kept a humble attitude as much as possible. "I should have told me when I woke up yesterday, but because of my physical weakness, I was dragged until now."
"I have saved you, and the agreement with Leng Li has been completed. Even if you are at the cost of incense and belief, I will not make an exception because of you." Chen Liang refused directly without any hesitation.
"If I am cunning, the Taoist should be completed by the Taoist, because it is related to my life and is still in the agreement with my father. But the Taoist tried hard to save him yesterday, so I dare not be so unreasonable, so I came up with this matter." Leng Xunyun thought for a moment and then responded slowly: "And this matter is also related to the person who gave me unrivaled strength. I believe the Taoist is interested, so I might as well listen first."
Leng Xunyun was very conscious and knew how to advance and retreat! Since it was related to the real person Wenshui, Chen Liang planned to listen.
"Ten years ago, the Taoist man agreed to my request and warned me. If one day, I would let my life be out of his control because of fear of death, and he would appear and kill me the next night. As the price of punishment, all the people I close to will die." Leng Xunyun said slowly with the request, "So, I want to beg the Taoist to take action and help me again."
If Leng Xunyun's words were true, then the soul of Wenshui Zhenren would appear tonight, and Chen Liang was interested in this matter.
However, no matter how interested he is in appearing in the real person Wenshui, he cannot agree to Leng Xunyun’s current request. The so-called promise should be strictly abide by the extremely arrogant Taoist. Then, the arrogant Taoist cannot actively destroy the agreement made by both parties.
"That Taoist has never forced you to agree to his request, and has indeed given you invincible power and has never violated his promise. Then it is natural to let you obey his wishes and die slowly." Chen Liang said seriously, rejecting Leng Xunyun's proposal.
Leng Xunyun seemed to have expected Chen Liang's answer.
She did not make any excuses, but continued to maintain a respectful attitude and explained to Chen Liang: "What the Taoist said is right. If that person just wants me to have all this, he will naturally not hesitate to obey his instructions. But... I will say something that is long and long next, maybe a bit cumbersome and boring. If the Taoist feels boring, he will tell me and I will stop immediately."
Chen Liang nodded and signaled Leng Xunyun to continue talking, whether he was interested, he had his own choice.
"The Taoist must have known the incident that happened to me ten years ago. For me, it was always a desperate and helpless day when I was a child. In that cold home, we never felt the warmth. Everyone had no good eyes on us, and they were always scolded and made things difficult for us. Even when we were scolded and insulted, and were injured by the whip, they would only sarcastically mock our brothers and sisters, and even put in the insult. So that night I begged for the gods in front of the big tree of the Leng family that I don't know if there was any existence. After seeing the Taoist appear, I immediately agreed to his request."
"The Taoist must have heard that I vented all the anger I had accumulated for a long time and attacked everyone who had hurt and mocked me and my brother. No matter how severe they were, I deliberately left them a breath. In fact, I didn't have any merciful thoughts at that time, because after feeling the invincible power, the only thought in my mind was to kill everyone. The reason for keeping them in one breath was just to wait for the final judgment."
"The so-called final judgment is that I tell all the evil things these people have done to me in front of my father, and then see my father make a choice. But when I stand in front of my father and say everything, I have already made a decision in my heart. As long as my father scolds me loudly and says any fierce words, I will make no living person in the yard."
"When I was a child, my father was busy dealing with matters in the city rarely appeared. Once he appeared in front of us, he spoke in an extremely stern tone with a majesty that no one could violate. At that time, I had this impression of my father. I believed that he was indifferent to us siblings and didn't like us at all."
"I thought so, that final judgment was just a trace of illusory expectation, a proof of my childish weakness. But at that time, I never expected that my father heard me stand up and talked about his past painful experiences, and saw my bloody hands, and did not say a word of punishment."
"At that time, I kept watching my father, so his burly body shook suddenly. His serious face showed a request of sadness and regret, and he seemed to have grown old for a while and became extremely powerless. Then, he slowly walked towards me and hugged me tightly in his arms."
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! My father kept saying sorry to me at that time, and suddenly burst into tears when he hugged me. That was the most apology I've ever heard my father say in my life, and it was also the first time I saw my father crying."
"Because after my mother died, he was busy with nothing about Anshi City. This neglected to take care of us, causing us siblings to suffer so much, and finally forced me to this point. Since then, my father has been feeling guilty towards us siblings. He gave the matters in the city to others, and he would definitely take time to accompany us every day to meet our various requirements, hoping to make up for it a little bit."
Leng Xunyun said slowly. Even though she was weak and unable to speak for a long time, she tried her best to express what happened ten years ago with a happy expression.
Shen Liang sat calmly, listening to Leng Xunyun telling the past without any action.
"I heard from the servants that for my strange disease, my father respected the Taoist, and even knelt down and kowtowed to be grateful, and also said some offensive words. These things that self-destruction are extremely disrespectful to the city lords of Anshi City in all dynasties. So I know that my father is still guilty and is trying every means to make me live."
"Even though I am brave enough to make great contributions, I don't want to fulfill my promise with that Taoist. I want to live with my younger brother whom I have misunderstood, even if I only live a few more years. I want to see my younger brother grow up and marry and have children, and grow up to be able to take charge of the entire Anshi City. I want to see my father forget about the past, write down the burden on him, no longer feel guilty towards us siblings, and spend the rest of his life peacefully and happily."
"Without the agreement with that person ten years ago, I would have missed the ten years of happy life with my father and brother, so I never thought of breaking the agreement, nor did I hope that it would affect my family. What I hope now is that I can live for a few more years until everything I hope can come true. By then, no matter how that person takes my life, I will not refuse even the most painful way."
