Chapter 507: A broken mirror is hard to be reunited with
Chu Zewen turned to look at Wan Xiaoqing. Although she was also a superpower, she was still a little behind in cultivation and had not yet broken through the foundation-building stage. At this moment, under the reflection of the fireworks, there were traces of time on her face, but her stubborn look overlapped with the girl in his memory, which made Chu Zewen dazed for a moment...
The other party said, "...Can you understand how angry and embarrassed I was when I found out that my brother and parents had been asking you for money behind your back? My parents favored my brother over boys, and I had gotten used to it. I kept telling myself that complaining was useless and that I had to walk the path step by step on my own. But at that moment, I really hated them! Meeting you... was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life, and they wanted to destroy my only comfort. They sucked my blood bit by bit like a vampire..."
"I was also wrong about this matter. I didn't tell you the truth at the beginning."
Chu Zewen said, "Because they are your family, I want to help them and also reduce your burden."
Wan Xiaoqing smiled and shook her head: "This is not your fault. I know you have good intentions. And my uncle and aunt, knowing that I have such a family background, still treat me like their own daughter..."
As she spoke, a bit of bitterness appeared on her face. "But I was too young at that time. I had a strong sense of self-esteem and was easily inferior. I always thought that my family took money from you, so our relationship was no longer pure. I couldn't put myself on the same level as you. I was not worthy of you..."
Chu Zewen didn't expect Wan Xiaoqing to say such frank words. Back then, her family asked the Chu family for money. Chu Zewen knew that Wan Xiaoqing had a lot on her shoulders. During college, she had been working outside and gave all the money she earned except for basic living expenses to her family.
But Wan Xiaoqing had a strong sense of self-esteem. Except for occasionally going out on a date, she never spent his money, so Chu Zewen supported her family without telling her.
At first, Wan Xiaoqing didn't realize it until one day when she returned home and saw her brother showing off his car with a group of gangsters, she learned the truth. From then on, the relationship between the two began to crack, and this first love was exhausted in constant quarrels...
"...Xiaoqing, I have never looked down on you because of your family. In fact, I really admire your perseverance and stubbornness because you can still excel in such an environment. There are too many people who go with the flow, but you are one of the few who dares to go against the tide..."
Chu Zewen looked at her seriously and said, "...We were just too young to handle the conflict between us at the time..."
Wan Xiaoqing felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She raised her eyes, revealing a hint of intoxication and anticipation, and stared at the person in front of her: "So... now! Zewen, can we start over?"
The light of the fireworks was reflected on their faces. They stared at each other silently. An ambiguous atmosphere flowed quietly between them. Finally... Chu Zewen turned his head away first, avoiding the other's sight, and said softly: "...I'm sorry."
After speaking, Chu Zewen stood up and left, his back to the fireworks, disappearing into the darkness...
After a while, Wan Xiaoqing heard the sound of the door closing behind her. She looked up and stared blankly at the brilliant but short-lived fireworks in the night sky. She forced a smile, but although she wanted to laugh, the tears in her eyes fell silently...
The youth of youth, that innocent and beautiful first love, finally ended completely at this moment, and it is difficult to mend a broken mirror...
The twelfth year since the founding of the Holy Land Alliance——
More than half of the bases in the entire Source Star have joined the Holy Land Alliance. The situation faced by the Alliance and the A City Headquarters Base has completely changed from offense to defense!
Pei Yun estimated that in three years at most, the Holy Land Alliance would be able to capture the base headquarters in City A. After absorbing the power of time and space over the years, the "Flower of Hope" has already bloomed more than halfway. It will only take some more time for it to bloom completely, and then she will be able to return to Haoyu Continent!
Now is the time for a showdown!
Chu Zewen happened to be at the Holy Land Alliance headquarters during this period. She found a time and the two of them came to the training room alone. She handed the ancient book of the Jidao Patriarch to Chu Zewen:
"...This is why I came to this world. Now, under the leadership of the alliance, the various bases have gradually restored the living environment of the source star to that before the end of the world. It is no longer threatened by strange beasts and radiation. This can be regarded as surviving the disaster..."
Chu Zewen looked at the ancient book seriously. He was shocked at first, but when he saw the last page, his heart tightened because he felt that Pei Yun was telling him that she was going back!
He stared at the person in front of him carefully, his deep eyes showing a sense of attachment and reluctance to part. Suddenly, a strong impulse rose in his heart. He, who had always been introverted, could no longer hide his inner admiration and called out, "Pei Yun, can you..."
Just after saying a few words, the ancient book in his hand burst into a dazzling white light. Pei Yun and Chu Zewen were both shocked. They saw the ancient book escape from Chu Zewen's hand and transform into a vague figure of consciousness, which instantly entered Chu Zewen's mind...
Chu Zewen closed his eyes subconsciously, felt a sharp pain in his head, and then passed out.
"Chu Zewen!"
Pei Yun was stunned for a few moments. After he came to his senses, he hurried to his side and used the Breathing Technique to investigate, but his consciousness seemed to be forcibly closed and his Dantian was restricted, which even Pei Yun could not break.
However, Pei Yun breathed a sigh of relief, because Chu Zewen's current state was not a state of being possessed by someone else. She guessed that it should be an opportunity given to him by the Jidao ancestor, and this opportunity could only be opened by the natives of Yuanxing. She had held this ancient book for so many years, and such a thing had never happened.
When he was on Bixia Island before, Pei Yun had asked around, but neither the natives on the island nor treasure hunters like the old couple had found the treasure of the Jidao Patriarch. Now, he saw that the secret was in this ancient book!
Chu Zewen’s luck is really good!
Although the concentration of spiritual energy in this world is much better than that of Blue Star, it is still far behind that of Haoyu Continent. Natural treasures must also grow in an environment rich in spiritual energy.
Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for the cultivators of Yuanxing to reach the realm of ascension, but Chu Zewen has the opportunity given by the Jidao Patriarch, so it is not necessarily the case...
It's just a pity for myself. I thought I could find the treasure of the Jidao ancestor with the treasure map, but I didn't expect that I was tricked by him and came to this Yuanxing. Not only did I not get the treasure, but I also had to resolve the disaster of Yuanxing and send the opportunity to the destined person.
What an injustice this is!
Pei Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself, sighing helplessly while sitting not far away to protect Chu Zewen...
