As if the silent soul was awakened by something, and as if desperate, moths fluttering into the fire.
"If you make up your mind, I can't stop you." Chu Zhan coughed twice, and Twilight cast a deep and shallow shadow on his face, "But no matter what you choose to do, you must understand it clearly. You know what you have to pay."
"I know." Chu Yao stared at her father, whom she respected for more than ten years. She has only violated her father's decision twice in her life.
The first time was to practice on the Sword Peak, and the second time was now.
"If you don't do it."
"I won't be reconciled."
Chu Zhan's voice was old: "If you go, the result is not what you want to see?"
"If I believe in someone, I will believe it to the end."
Chu Yao brushed her hand across her chest and said, "I believe in my eyes and I can see my heart clearly."
"It doesn't matter if the result is what I want."
Chu Zhan said: "You will regret it."
"Father." Chu Yi said every word in a firm voice.
"If I don't do it, I will regret the rest of my life."
Regret for the rest of your life
Chu Zhan closed his eyes. At this moment, it seemed that he had returned to a long time ago, when he was still the young master of the Chu family. I don't regret it, but in the end, I lost her.
Silly boy.
The rest of my life is so long.
"Let's take a look at the sacrificial spirit of Chu Dao." Chu Zhan didn't stop him, but closed his eyes and said tiredly, "Sacrificing the Chu Dao to the spirit can test your heart."
"If you've got it acknowledged and you're ready to pay what it might pay, go for it."
Chu Yao got down, turned and left.
Chu Zhan opened his eyes and looked at the back of Chu Yi's departure. In his old eyes, there was a vague sadness.
For the past five hundred years in the Chu family, no one has been able to pass the experience of the Chu Dao offering spiritual sacrifices.
He's going to give this kid one last lesson.
Chu Zhan stood up trembling and took out the suicide note from under the pillow.
He made a vow back then, and his heart was higher than the sky, and he did not get the recognition of Chu Dao's sacrifice.
Sure enough... Later, he was the one who lost his love after all.
Probably no one can really inherit it.
but…
If this child can really get its recognition, then his little obstacle can't stop her.
He looked at the suicide note that had not yet been written, and there was a trace of relief in his eyes.
At that time, the sea will be wide and the fish will leap, and the sky will be high enough for the birds to fly.
"Father."
The girl's voice was soft.
Chu Zhan raised his eyes, the butterflies scattered, and he saw Chu Yi.
The girl's eyes were dull, and the smile on the corner of her lips was shallow, "Have you made up your mind?"
Chu Zhan coughed twice and said tiredly.
"… nature."
He owed the mother and daughter too much.
No matter what she does, she is her daughter after all.
"I know you do everything." Chu Zhan looked at Chu Yi, his eyes gradually softened, "But I... don't blame you."
"I don't understand what father is talking about." Chu Yi took the pen and came over with a kind and gentle voice, "Yiyi didn't do anything, Yiyi just came to see father."
"Father, don't you leave a few words?"
"Stay, of course you have to stay."
Chu Zhan didn't care, he took the ink-stained wolf cents and laughed at himself, "Just take it as..."
Just take it as it is, and repay the debt owed to them.

Chu family ancestral hall.
The stars twinkled in the sky, and early summer insects began to sing diligently, and the faint sound of frogs burst forth.
Chu Yao slowly entered the ancestral hall.
Except for the one time she came with her father when she just came back from Lingxi Peak, she has not been to this place for a long time since then.
There was a noise of insects outside the ancestral hall, but it was very quiet after entering, and there were still tablets standing in front of them, and the snow-white wedding dress with dragon patterns hanging in front of it.
Chu Yao looked at Chu Dao to sacrifice to the spirit.
This is the thing I hated to see when I was a child. Once I made a mistake, I would kneel here and regret this dress.
In fact, she has never made any big mistakes, but she really hates people raising her eyes in front of her eyes.
The first time I knelt down on the Chu Dao to sacrifice to the spirit was when a child rushed up to scold her, saying that everything she got was because of those eyes, and without them, she would be a prostitute who was nothing.
She was very angry at the time, and she went up to fight with the child, without the demeanor of a lady.
When her father came back, he punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Later... She knew that what she had beaten was her younger sister, Chu Yi, who was despised at the time. I also vaguely understood the special meaning behind the flattery of others.
Her eyes took away the brilliance that belonged to Chu Yi.
From then on, whoever said that she was reincarnated as King of Chu and was unparalleled in bravery, she would beat everyone to the ground.
Later, because of this, he knelt down countless times in the ancestral hall.
Her father also said to her, "If others abuse you, I understand if you beat me up. If others praise you, why do you bully them?"
"Because they are defiant," she said.
They are praising her on the surface, but in fact they are mocking her openly and secretly, and they are mocking her for taking the shadow of the King of Chu. Without these eyes, she, Chu Yao, would be nothing.
The father sighed and said to her, "Ayao, you are too arrogant."
She knelt on the ground without saying a word, her back straight and stubborn.
She also secretly went to see her sister.
The little girl stayed quietly in the corner every time, holding the dagger given to her by her father, and could sit all day without saying a word.
The maids also despised her, and they didn't call her to eat when the meal was over. She also sat there stupidly, as if she didn't feel hungry.
Gently caressed by the breeze, Chu Dao Ji Ling moved the corner of his clothes slightly.
Chu Yao paused, retracted her thoughts, thought about the abnormal accounts of the Chu family, closed her eyes, and stopped thinking about it.
- Take it if you want, she was not uncommon at first.
She raised her eyes to see Chu Dao offering sacrifices to the spirit.
It waits here quietly and silently, day after day, year after year.
Now father let himself come to see it...
Chu Yao touched its fabric.
Silky and soft, the golden dragon stitches are fine and perfect.
It can be seen that the person who embroidered this dress put a lot of effort into it.
According to legend, a hundred years ago, the King of Chu had a beloved person, but when she was about to ask for marriage, the beloved person was no longer in the world.
The sad king of Chu sewed this wedding dress.
Chu knife sacrifice to the spirit.
With remorse, with love, with separation, with loneliness, sacrifice to the spirit of heaven.
The past of the old man has become ashes.
"Father said that you can test your heart." Chu Yao said in a shallow voice, "As the saying goes, sincerity is the best way to go, I don't know if my superficial thoughts can impress you."
The sound of the wind was light, and the black silk cloth hanging down in the ancestral hall was disturbed, but the sacrificial spirit of the Chu Dao seemed to be still, not moving at all.
long time.
It seems to be closed.
It doesn't matter though.
"It doesn't matter that this little thought can't impress the aloof ancient clothing charm." Chu Yao put down her hand, and a happy smile opened on the corner of her lips, "After all, only I know whether I will keep going with my own decision. down."
Life is in your own hands.
The road is also at her feet, and how to go is her own business.
She released her hand, turned and walked away.
However, there has been no step forward!
"Bang!"
The open door was slammed shut, and all the tablets in the ancestral hall began to tremble violently!
Chu Yao's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously wanted to draw a sword, but she did nothing, because it was her own ancestral hall, and she did not have a sword. The next moment, five icy and wide silver light cards with a height of 30 feet and a width of 30 feet suddenly came from all around, and the edges were connected to form a pentagonal array, which instantly trapped her!
Chu Yao's eyes became cold, and she pinched the sword in her hand. The next moment, the abundant spiritual energy instantly condensed, turning into thousands of sword blades around her, icy and unmatched. The small ancestral hall will definitely be worn into a sieve by her!
Chu Yao looked at the ancestors of the Chu family outside the light card, the corners of her mouth twitched, and the movement of changing the sword came to a halt.
The light card that trapped her also did not move.
Just when Chu Yao was thinking about whether she could protect her ancestors while wearing the broken light card, she saw a pale white dress embroidered with dragon patterns slowly drifting down from it, so leisurely floating. in front of her.
Chu Yao looked at it silently.
The broad hem knocked on the light card, and actually made two loud "bangs" sounds.
After it finished knocking, he put his hem behind his back and slowly circled the pentagonal light card twice.
Like an old man patrolling the land.
Chu Yao: "..."
"I know you've made up your mind."
Chu Yao was slightly startled, and soon knew who was talking.
Without the charm of the master's clothing, it is possible to communicate with people entirely by means of other powers.
It's just that the Chu knife has been sacrificed for hundreds of years, and I have never heard of any ancestors listening to it.
"I heard the voice in your heart." Chu Dao Ji Ling's voice was soft, she was not as eccentric as Zhenhun Wushuang, she could even be said to be gentle, "I also know that you won't do anything that will make you regret it again. matter."
"I've been with this family for a hundred years, and I've seen people similar to you, but their choices are different, and the final outcomes are also different."
"If you are desperate, you will either get nothing and die alone, or you will get what you want, but you will be greedy and greedy for more."
"It follows the rules and is plain, and it is engraved on the family's sign after death, and you can't see it at a glance."
"After a long time, even I will slowly forget that there was such a person in the Chu family."
"You are the same and different from all the juniors I have met before."
"I see your desperate will, but don't want to count your chances."
Chu Yao paused, looking at the Wujiaoguang card that trapped her, and the clothing charm outside the Heguang card, the sword array was put away.
"Then I passed your test?"
Chu Dao Ji Ling said, "Many people can pass my heart test, and people's will is the strongest when they are impulsive."
After a pause, it smiled again, "So when you regret it, it is also the most painful."
Chu Yao didn't want to talk nonsense with it, "I know I won't regret it, you can let me go."
Chu Dao sacrificed to the spirit and said, "You can't beat Su Chuan alone."
Chu Yao frowned, "Do you know Su Chuan?"
Chu Dao sacrificed Ling for a while, "It's not important."
"The important thing is that without me, you can't step into even an inch of the Demon Sect." Chu Dao Ji Ling's voice was shallow, "You need me."
Chu Yao: "...what do you want?"
"I want you."
Chu Yao: "..."
"I was born from the grief of the emperor's nostalgia and the blood and tears of remorse."
"My former master never fought an uncertain battle."
"But you're desperate, you've got nothing, and you've asked for nothing."
"I'm disappointed in you."
The former owner, the King of Chu.
Chu Yao sneered, "She? An uncertain battle? Do you mean she killed herself?"
Chu Dao Sacrifice Spirit was suddenly silent.
It will never forget the feeling of its owner's warm blood flowing on it shortly after its birth.
At that time, it didn't understand much, but it always remembered the scalding blood and the pain of remorse in the owner's heart.
"You are the one who doesn't understand anything." Chu Yao said indifferently, "I ask for nothing because I want to give her what she wants."
"What she wants is the most important thing."
Chu Dao Ji Ling said, "You are very similar to her."
Chu Yao's brows immediately wrinkled.
"I know you don't like hearing this." Chu Dao Ji Ling said, "But I'm not talking about your eyes."
Chu Yao sneered, her eyes indifferent, "Let me go, you, I can't afford it."
