"Well, it's been five years, and your heart has become calm and pure. But every time you come back, your peaceful state of mind will be obviously messed up again. You... still can't get rid of the word 'love' after all." Mr. Long sighed.
Long Zhengyang showed misery on his face: "I can't forget her... I can't forget her from the first time I saw her. These years, every time I go back to Tianlong City, I will secretly see her once. I can no longer see her face, but as long as I can hear her voice, I am already satisfied. As long as she can accept me, I am really willing to give up everything for her as my grandfather said."
"Hehe, to make Yang'er so infatuated, that woman named Shui Mengchan must be an ordinary woman. If I am no longer a person of the world, I really want to go and see it. A hero is sad for a beauty, and you suffer from love. I can't blame you at first, but... a sin!" Master Long raised his head to the sky and sighed deeply.
Long Zhengyang held his forehead with his hands, took a long breath, his face still miserable. Because he's infatuated with a woman he shouldn't be infatuated with. So he came to his grandfather, one for training his mind, and the other for escaping, and trying to forget, but love is like poison. In five years, not only has he not forgotten the slightest thing, but every time he thinks about it, he feels even more painful.
"Yang'er, starting tomorrow, you don't have to stay with me anymore. Go back, five years is enough, if you stay any longer, it will only waste your time and delay your future."
Long Zhengyang bowed his head and responded: "Yes... But, I can't bear to part with Grandpa."
Grandpa Long patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you are reluctant, I will visit Grandpa a few more times in the future when you have time. Yang'er, since you can't forget her and you can't escape, then don't run away. People often say true A real man won't be stumped by love... Oh, what a joke, if you can't even protect your own love and have to give it up, then you are a real failure and a waste man! Do you understand?"
Long Zhengyang nodded solemnly: "Grandpa, I understand. I never thought of giving up."
"Hehe, good. I think Ningxue has another purpose for being a granddaughter. If she arrives in Tianlong City in the future, her snowy hair and crippled appearance will be rejected by others. Such an identity can protect her. And you She is half an older brother, don't let her be bullied, otherwise, I, an old man, will be very upset."
Long Zhengyang nodded again: "Kid, please remember, sister Ningxue is my half sister, I will definitely not let anyone bully her."
Mr. Long nodded, and looked in the direction of the hut helplessly: "That young man won't last until tomorrow. After tomorrow, let Ningxue girl stay with me. When she wants to go out, I will go out again." Let her go to Tianlong City."
His gaze became deep... With his experience and status, why did he recognize relatives so easily. As for the real reason, even he himself was a little confused. It was as if there was a voice in his heart telling him that getting closer to this strange girl would be a correct choice that couldn't be more correct.
But... they still underestimated Ningxue's persistence.
That night, Mr. Long and Long Zhengyang slept in Long Zhengyang's room. Ye Ningxue was always by Ye Wuchen's side. In the middle of the night, a small white shadow quietly opened the door and ran to the west, which was in the direction of Tianlie Mountain.
She didn't let herself make a sound, because she knew that if she was discovered, they would definitely stop her.
However, for the only hope of saving her brother, she couldn't care less about anything. If her brother was gone, she really didn't want to live alone anymore.
Ye Ningxue didn't notice, but at the moment she quietly left, Ye Wuchen's lips trembled slightly... because he wanted to make a sound and call her back.
Although he was in a coma and completely unable to control his body, his consciousness was completely awake. From Ningxue running desperately in pursuit of him, then tripping over his body, pulling him out of the forest with her weak body for several hours, to being rescued by Mr. Long...every sentence they said, He listened to every slight sound. He even felt every tear that Ye Ningxue shed for him, and his heart ached.
Now, for him, she went to Tianlie Mountain regardless of her life, and stole the egg of the Celestial Beast, the Celestial Flamingo, just to extend his life for a few weeks.
The chaotic breath in his body was still rushing, as if he wanted to shatter his body to pieces, causing severe pain in his body, but it was far less than his heartache.
Xue'er... He silently called her name, and his originally indifferent heart was slowly filled with an inexplicable thing.
The full moon is in the sky, and the earth is shining white. The night was as cold as water, and the silence was terrifying, but how could this ten-year-old girl not be afraid when she was alone? She thought of the scene where she slept comfortably in her brother's arms the night before, and her heart ached more and more. faster and faster.
After running for an hour, she was soaked in sweat when she came to the foot of the mountain. Not finding the mountain path, she had no choice but to go up little by little, trying not to make a sound. There are many beasts on Tianlie, and they are all sleeping at this time, if they are awakened, it will be dangerous.
The mountain is neither high nor steep, and the tempers of all kinds of beasts are fairly mild. But neither man nor beast dared approach the top of the mountain, for that was the territory of the flamingos. Although it is said that it will not take the initiative to attack humans, few people are brave enough to risk their lives to try. As for the beasts, the coercion of the heavenly beasts made them dare not approach at all.
The sharp rocks and high or low thorns left nicks on Ningxue's face and hands. With tears in her eyes that were about to overflow due to pain, she moved up step by step. Take a step back yourself.
The god of luck seemed to be on her side. She went up all the way without disturbing or encountering a wild animal. When she finally reached the top of the mountain, she was exhausted, but she desperately suppressed her heavy breathing, lest she would disturb anything.
Ningxue hid her body behind a big rock, watching everything on the top of the mountain secretly. The top of the mountain was very large and flat, and in the center was a huge bird's nest. Instead of a big bird as she imagined, there was only a white ball reflecting strange light under the moonlight.
Ningxue's heart was pounding, she walked out slowly, quietly walked to the side of the bird's nest, then gently hugged the white bird's egg in her arms, finally showing a satisfied smile on her face.
But at this moment, an angry bird chirped, and a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky to cover the moonlight. Ye Ningxue hugged the egg of the heavenly beast that could save her brother, looked up at the sky, and was caught His face was pale with horror.
