"Why don't you save her? It's very easy for you to heal her body now. You can do it easily without even me." The system asked in some surprise.
Sitting in front of the wooden house, Yu Sheng lit a bonfire. He struck a match, and the flames appeared and disappeared.
After a long while, he finally answered, "I just want her to give up. There is no point in curing her because she will definitely use the alchemy formation again. But Qiu Xiongyi also helped me a lot. Seeing his daughter torturing herself like this, even I would still feel uneasy."
The system said speechlessly: "Then why don't you just rescue Qiu Xiongyi? Trouble!"
However, this touched Yu Sheng's sensitive nerves. Yu Sheng secretly shook his head and said, "Maybe most people will act on their emotions. But I can't. I have my principles in my life. You should know that. If even I don't abide by my own principles, then how can I live with myself?"
During the first fusion, the system obtained Yu Sheng’s memory and analyzed it carefully. It was found that principles were indeed very important to Yu Sheng.
The principle of the rest of my life is very simple, that is, to survive by any means necessary. The seemingly simple principle is actually the most complicated and full of difficulties. And participating in meaningless fights is obviously in conflict with this principle.
It’s not that we don’t have the ability to take action, but that we can’t take action.
He has survived until now only by relying on this principle. If he abandons even this principle, he will really have nothing.
The system was somewhat helpless: "Is this principle really that important? You are no longer the Yu Sheng you once were. Principles need to be flexible sometimes. After all, you are also growing up."
Stirring the flames, Yu Sheng said calmly: "Perhaps this principle really doesn't mean much to me anymore. But I still can't throw it away. I can still live without it, but what will happen to everything I did before? I can accept having nothing, but I absolutely cannot accept that I no longer even own myself."
System: "But you also want to save her! If it's just because you feel uneasy, you seem to have done a lot of uneasy things in the past. She is very similar to Ling Yue'er, and you saved Ling Yue'er back then. You will almost certainly save her now."
"The same? I saved Ling Yue'er entirely because of her courage and ruthlessness! But Qiu Ziling has none of these, and she is not of much value. She does not have outstanding abilities, decisive judgment, and even a random passerby may be more valuable than her," Yu Sheng examined.
However, the system did not think so and said, "You are wrong. You saved her out of love, her love for her mother. You saved her because you could not understand. And what happened to Qiu Ziling was because you wanted to prove that you were right, just like you relied on hatred to get to where you are today. You wanted to verify it in her that the so-called love does not exist at all. So..."
“Shut up!” An ominous aura burst out from Yu Sheng’s body.
Seeing Yu Sheng's heart fluctuate so much for the first time, the system flashed silver light and continued to say to Yu Sheng: "I just want to tell you. It's time to make a break. Maybe you have accepted everything in the past. But you forgot to make a break with your past self."
"I didn't! Since I have already accepted it, what's the point of ending it!" Yu Sheng immediately denied.
But the system didn't give up and said, "Why don't you go home? You never mention your family. It's good to have hope, but don't you think it's ridiculous to look for hope in despair?"
"I told you to shut up!" Yu Sheng said angrily.
He held the system in one hand and attacked it frantically with all his strength. The system said helplessly, "Look at you. You should know how important I am to you. You even attacked me. Do you still say that you don't have anything you need to end?"
"Shut up!" Yu Sheng shouted.
Boom!
With a roar, everyone had something they didn't want to mention in their hearts, but the system just brought it up at this time. Yu Sheng grabbed the system and punched the ground with a heavy punch in anger. The ground trembled immediately, and Yu Sheng fell down exhausted.
He used strength far beyond his current body's capacity. In an instant, every cell in his body seemed to feel his anger. He fully exerted his potential, and then his exhausted body fell into hibernation.
The system in his hand flashed silver light and appeared above his neck again.
As an auxiliary system, the essence of the system is to make the host grow. Although it is not optimistic about the rest of its life, it still performs the duties of the system. Not only the growth of strength, but also the growth of the soul. Only individuals who continue to grow can go further and eventually reach the distant starry sky.
Hearing the noise, Qiu Ziling quietly opened the door. He was shocked to see Yu Sheng lying outside the door and hurried over.
"Yusheng, we're going to climb the mountain this weekend, are you coming? What, you're going to work again? You're such a weird person, why do you like working so much?"
"Yu Sheng, what are you doing? How come you only have so little money this month? Is it easy for your mother and I to support you and your brother? As the eldest son in the family, all you do is play all day long."
"Studying? What a joke. A prestigious university? You've grown wings, haven't you? Is it great to be admitted to a prestigious university? Don't you know that your younger brother will have to pay sponsorship fees to go to high school in a few years? Where will the family get the money? It doesn't matter whether you read books or not."
"How dare you tear up my paper airplane (workbook) and scribble on it (doing homework). I'm going to tell mom and kick you out of the house."
He accepted these long forgotten memories naturally. But there seemed to be a hint of expectation. As for what he was expecting, Yu Sheng had already figured it out. Maybe it was just a smile. However, maybe it was just like what the system said, it was like looking for hope in despair. His expectation was just a fantasy, a luxury. He might still be waiting, waiting for someone to prove that he came to this world for a reason, not just an accessory...
A tear rolled down the corner of his eye unconsciously, and he opened his eyes. At this time, Qiu Ziling was dozing off beside him.
He moved his body, and Qiu Ziling woke up suddenly. She looked at Yu Sheng who had woken up and said quickly, "Master husband, you are awake. Wait, I have made the soup. I will bring it to you."
With that she left in a hurry.
"Sorry!" Yu Sheng said lightly.
Qiu Ziling was stunned and said, "Nothing? I forgive you. After all, this has nothing to do with my master husband."
System: Apologies are useless. If you really want to apologize, please speed up your efforts to make money. My repairs have been completely delayed by you.
The two had their own understandings, but what neither of them expected was that Yu Sheng's apology was not addressed to the system or Qiu Ziling. He was speaking to himself, or more precisely, to his past self. At this moment, he chose to draw a clear line.
He has also made a break.
He walked out of the door and looked at the surroundings that were destroyed by his punch. Compared with Qiu Ziling's, the destructive power was simply earth-shattering.
At this moment, he clearly saw that he was no longer the same Yu Sheng as before. His strength was growing, but his heart had always stayed in a certain corner. His existence no longer needed the recognition of others, because he could prove that his existence was unique.
At this moment, his heart was already planning to fly out of that corner; the vast world was where he should go.
Suddenly Yu Sheng stretched out a finger, and a small golden crow appeared. Then the golden crow spread its wings and flew away, as if it had more spirituality, and disappeared into a distant place that Yu Sheng did not know.
