Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

168 unsheathed

Ling Linhan had fantasized about the reunion countless times.

Perhaps Ling Yao would look at him indifferently, questioning why he made such a stupid choice back then; or maybe he would smile and talk about other things, without giving him any chance to explain and repent.For this reason, he rehearsed countless times in his mind how to speak, so that Ling Yao could hear his own explanation and apology.

But when he saw Ling Yao calmly appearing in front of him and greeted him naturally, it seemed that everything he had prepared was in vain.If it weren't for the restraint of an adult, he would probably really cry all at once.

Although it was obvious that he had nothing to wrong, it was even his fault in the first place.

Although obviously, no matter how natural it is, it is different from before.

He was still very happy.

"I won't comfort you, pretending that everything in the past doesn't matter anymore, I don't care anymore. But...it seems, that's all. I don't hate 'Ling Linhan', it's just you that I hate The identity of the "Heaven's Blessed One". It is a thing of heaven that is higher than the laws of this world, so it also changes the fate of everyone...including me and you.

"If we must find the culprit, it should be that higher existence, not you. These years, you have always been obsessed with the benefits you get from relying on this identity, and the consequences of the choices you made... It's all because I'm too weak, so I can't admit that my enemy is the "destiny" that I can't defeat now, so I can only put my resentment on you.

"It makes me feel petty. I'm sure you'll think I'm petty too, if you know what I mean."

——However, he felt that he was farther away from Ling Yao.

"But now. I think, I should go one step further. Of course, I'm not at the point where I'm putting my hopes on you - it sounds a lot like a character from the protagonist's camp inserts himself a 'You must help me Fulfill the last wish' flag.

"I hope that I... can look directly at the existence of 'Destiny'. It is there. And I can't change it. So now, I have to try to change it. Thinking about the good, at least it can't help me now, no Is it? Haha!"

——Obviously he is now the famous "Honor of the Five Elements" in the world of Mangsheng, a great power in the True Yuan Realm who can compete with Tian Xi, and even has the confidence to break through the ordinary saints, and even challenge the super gods...

"Ah! However, I don't mean to hinder you, as long as you don't go astray. What I mean is, don't be obsessed with the concept of being blessed by heaven. I won't become a person like Tian Xi, and I won't change. Become someone like Ling Xingran. I will find other ways to prove myself.

"So, just do what you think is right. With this talent, this luck, go and make this world a better place. I will... watch over you until I die. So, Don't be too disappointing!"

……

"In the future? Let's make an appointment again. But you don't work? Venerable Five Elements, how can you have so much free time to chat with me! Let me tell you that Xiao Liuhan is not so clingy since he was five years old."

"Whatever you want, that kind of thing. Anyway, they have been scolding for so many years, do you think Yueyao Peak has become shorter? It's the same if you want to use public opinion war against Tian Xi. Unless you can [-]% but you don't work? Five Elements Venerable, how can you have so much free time to chat with me! Let me tell you that Xiao Liuhan is not so clingy since he was five years old." "Whatever you want, that kind of thing. Anyway, they have been scolding him for so many years to defeat him Otherwise, no matter how bad his image is in the field of public opinion, what can he do? In a duel of this level, public opinion is always used to establish a reputation after the fact. Winners and losers, strength is the last word. "

"Wedding? Then forget it? Do you want to get married again? Good guy, you just want to have another wedding! I won't travel thousands of miles to eat dog food. What's wrong with me!"

—but he always seems to be just behind him.Even if you don't pay attention, you will be far behind.

But it's fine.very good already.

……

Five years later.

"Master. Master? Master!"

"Ah... hey! What's wrong?"

"You've been in a daze for a long time! What are you thinking?"

Ling Yao's vacant eyes finally retracted and fell on Xiao Liuhan.He drew with his hand, and suddenly laughed:

"Little devil, I didn't expect you to be fifteen in a blink of an eye. This is too fast. It feels like I'm already old—"

"Master, wake up, you are [-] to [-] this year, and you haven't reached [-] yet, so why worry!"

"Haha, who knows? You have to prepare early, future Little Peak Master."

"...Master."

"Ok?"

"Can't you wait for Tian Xi to die before thinking about those things? The fact that he colluded with the demons has been proven. Didn't Ling Linhan say that he is now fully sure that he can bring him down? You don't want to see his Is it the end?"

Ling Yao froze for a moment, smiled and shook his head:

"I can already guess the ending, so what is there to wait for?"

"I knew that even if my father couldn't persuade you, I certainly couldn't either."

Xiao Liuhan angrily sat down opposite Ling Yao,

"And you just want to go to the Demon Race to try the power of the sword array you created, don't you? You idiot."

"Hey! I'm your master! It's fine if you don't bring honorifics, how dare you scold me!"

"Master, you idiot!"

"Xiao Liuhan!"

"Master, you are a big fool!! You don't think about me, you should also think about my father! You two have been brothers for so many years, how could he accept that you ran to die!"

The 15 years of Xiao Liuhan's life went smoothly and happily.He has loving parents, teachers who love him, and reliable partners.Maybe it was because life went so smoothly, when he suddenly realized that his master's time was numbered, he even felt that his master was joking.

In fact, he should have guessed it a long time ago. It is a miracle that a person whose dantian is damaged can survive.His master's ability to live until he was 15 years old was already the result of nourishing it with holy springs and repairing it with heaven and earth treasures.

If it wasn't for the serious injury and the fear of the sword energy causing secondary damage to the body, as the master of Yueyao Peak of Changling Sword Gate, how could his master have never picked up the Chengying sword since he was born? Sword, have you never used a sword technique again?

But he still couldn't accept it. His master wanted to give up the last period of his life and go out to fight the demons in his last and peak state.

Cool is cool.But death is also death!

So is his dead father.Why didn't he stop his master a little bit!

Looking at the teary-eyed little apprentice, Ling Yao hesitated to speak for several times, and finally turned his head away:

"I'll say goodbye, brat. It's the last time we meet. Be more obedient."

"Be obedient! I'm going to dance on your grave next year!"

"Who did you learn this from!"

"You didn't say that yourself! The dead are not qualified to decide what the living want to do! You deserve it!"

"..."

Ling Yao flicked his little apprentice on the forehead angrily and amusingly,

"Okay! You choose a nicer one for me, I beg you!"

After finishing speaking, he stuffed a letter into Xiao Liuhan's arms:

"After it's over, you take it to Ling Linhan, and you've given me an explanation. You see how kind I am to you, at least I met you in the end. You still scold me!"

"Master, you are a big fool!!"

"Okay, okay, stop messing with your master."

Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, pinching the nape of Xiao Liuhan's neck and lifting him up,

"Smelly brat, I'm done chatting with your master, it should be my turn."

"Dad, you are a big fool!"

"All right, all right, I'm an idiot, and my whole family are all idiots."

Xiao Ji Nian rolled his eyes, carried Xiao Liu Han and walked out the door, and then - he had to throw his son out like trash.

"Dad, you super invincible idiot—"

Xiao Liuhan's voice gradually dissipated, Xiao Ji Nian clapped his hands, and couldn't help sighing:

"Hey, this bad temper, who did you learn from? Oh, follow me."

"You know that too."

Ling Yao glanced at him, already accustomed to this guy's shamelessness.

Xiao Jinian shrugged, and sat where his son had just sat.After a brief silence, he gritted his teeth and finally spoke:

"You really have decided..."

Ling Yao couldn't help but touch his forehead:

"Xiao Liuhan can't understand, so you can't understand it either. I admit that after knowing that I will only go downhill in the future, I don't want to wait any longer. Even if I don't try, I don't have a few years left; if Give it a try, maybe I can leave Mangsheng Great World and survive in the world Ling Xingran fled to. Although it's a bit selfish to say that..."

"No. Of course I do."

Xiao Jinian interrupted Ling Yao's words,

"You're not selfish at all. Because I too... No matter which world you live in, I hope you can survive. Really. Even if I can't see you.

"But... how sure are you? If it's a fatal attempt, if you don't go, you'll have at least five years to live! I just hope you..."

His voice grew louder and more urgent, but finally it gradually subsided and disappeared.

In fact, this is all in vain.He had known for a long time that no one could change Ling Yao's decision.

And, in fact, it was he who was selfish.Although he said that he only hoped that Ling Yao would survive, it didn't matter if he said that he would never see him again.But he still hopes that his best friend can stay in this world longer, longer.

Because even if Ling Yao might really be in another world or, as long as he didn't pick it up with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel that it was just a white lie that Ling Yao comforted him.

But he can't be that selfish.because……

"Ah Nian. I'm just... a little tired. And, unlike Ling Linhan, if I stay in this world forever, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to become stronger again.

"But there is no more power and no more channels, so whether it is to understand who Ling Xingran is, or to explore where the so-called 'plot' and the so-called 'system' come from, it is clear that all these operations are based on No matter what the law is, I can't push forward by half a point—let alone break the 'Mandate of Heaven'.

"I want to move forward, how can I just talk and not act?

"What's more... I'm a sword repairer. But I haven't touched my sword for... 18 years.

"I can bear not touching my sword for 18 years, but I can't bear it. The rest of my life can only be worn down and rusted a little bit, and I will never show a sharp edge.

"Because the meaning of its existence is to bloom the most eye-catching brilliance when it is at its sharpest."

Xiao Ji Nian did not speak.Or it should be said that he no longer remembers what he said in the end.He only remembered the sharp light in Ling Yao's eyes when he finished those words - this made him finally, silently watching Ling Yao's back leave.

So he knew that what Ling Yao was talking about was never about his sword, but about himself.Because sword cultivation is not only about cultivating swordsmanship to the extreme, but also cultivating oneself into an upright and extremely sharp sword.

And now, this sword finally had a chance to unsheath, showing his last and most dazzling edge.

He should be happy for the other party.

should be happy...

"What a big man. He's gone before you remember to cry."

Xiao Ji Nian lowered his head, only then did he see that Liu Yuya had walked up to him, looking at him with disgust.

"I……"

"He said he won't die. Just believe him, why think so much, cry!"

Liu Yuya frowned, stretched out her paw and patted Xiao Ji Nian's head, and finally opened her arms,

"Here. Don't be ashamed. Let me hide for a while, don't let Xiaohan see his father crying so ugly."

"……it is good."

Xiao Jinian bent down and hugged that soft and warm body,

"it is good."
