C269 A Clear Conscience
"I can't deny that it was beyond my expectations. " Guxing rubbed his chin and looked at the two tigers of Luoan running in front of him. They were almost nowhere to be seen. He was filled with emotion for a moment.
Who would have thought that a mighty Peak Late Period of Spirit Cultivating Stage warrior from the previous generation would be so powerful? At least, Guxing had never thought that he would run away in front of a junior who had just entered the Spirit Smelting Realm.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them. Do you really want them to run away?!" Seeing this comical scene, Xiao Yue was somewhat dumbfounded, but she was still a person who had seen a lot of things. In just a split second, she regained her senses, and when she saw that Guxing was completely indifferent, she immediately snapped.
"There's no hurry. You see, he still has some conscience. At least he didn't let his brother down when he was running away. " Guxing pointed at the two of them running for their lives and clicked his tongue.
"What? Could it be that the Sword Master was deeply touched by their brotherly love?" Xiao Yue said mercilessly: "Heh. It turned out that the Sword Master had such an understanding of human nature. It's really rare to see such a side to him. "
Guxing shook his head and said, "Ms Yue, you don't have to provoke me. You should know that I am not a pedantic person. "
"Then why did you let them go?" Xiao Yue was puzzled.
"I didn't mean to let them go?" After Guxing said that, he pursed his lips and revealed a smile that made Xiao Yue's hair stand on end. He said, "I just want to let them experience the feeling of being hunted, that's all. "
Xiao Yue was stunned, and couldn't help but mutter: "Pervert, madman. . . "
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Guxing returned with his bloodstained sword. With his current speed, catching up to a person who was running away with a burden was not a difficult task. Without a doubt, the remaining two were easily taken care of by him. A martial artist who had lost his will to fight was like a fierce tiger that had lost its fangs and claws. It was not much different from a cat. As for the idiot beside the cat. . . Naturally, it posed no threat to him. He raised his sword and swung it down. His head rolled to the ground. Everything had gone so smoothly that it made him feel like it wasn't real.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he had been depressed ever since he came back, Xiao Yue asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. " Guxing only focused on reinforcing the saddle, then turned around and sat on it. However, he did not urge the horse to run. He just allowed the horse to leisurely pace on the wasteland. Guxing, who was riding on it, pursed his lips and looked like he had a lot on his mind.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue opened her small mouth and wanted to ask something, but after thinking for a while, she tactfully chose to remain silent.
"Ms Yue ~" In the end, it was Guxing who spoke first.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yue sat on the horse and looked at him doubtfully.
"I. . . Am I a very bloodthirsty person?" Guxing looked like a child who had done something wrong. He lowered his head and said in a stuttering voice, "I seem to be used to killing. When I killed, I did not hesitate or panic. All I have is the pleasure of seeing others bleed. This kind of me. . . Isn't it very scary? "
"People who walk the martial world are people. Rather than saying that the martial world is dangerous, it is more accurate to say that people are unpredictable. If you have a clear conscience in fighting and killing, what is there to be afraid of? As for the bloodshed, if it is for the sake of righteousness, what's the harm in slaughtering a million? "
Xiao Yue glanced back at him and smiled like a blooming flower. "Idiot, do you remember what I said?"
Guxing couldn't help but be stunned. He smiled bitterly and was touched. "Didn't I say this before? I didn't expect you to remember it, Ms Yue. "
"Of course I remember. I will remember every promise you made. If you want to go back on your word, you won't even have a door. " Xiao Yue raised her small fist in a threatening manner. She was not intimidating enough, but cute enough.
Guxing was amused by her childish side. He felt much better in his heart. He could not help but feel that he was not as open-minded as he was when he was young. There was no harm in killing. A man should kill when holding a sword. He did not care how others talked about his judgment. He just had a clear conscience.
When he thought of this, the rock that was pressing down on his heart finally loosened a little. When Guxing was breathing, he could not help but want to touch Xiaoyue's head. However, when he met Xiao Yue's eyes that could speak, he immediately withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Because the meaning of that gaze was clearly that if he didn't want to die. . . You brat, just try it.
Guxing wasn't stupid enough to question her. On the contrary, He subconsciously held Cann Yue tightly in his arms, afraid that it would suddenly cause trouble. Then he would have intimate contact with his own head. After all, that was not an ordinary pain. Once he took a hit, even with his current constitution. . . It would take at least two days for the swelling to completely disappear. It had to be said. . . Xiao Yue knew her limits. After all these years, she had hit the same place. There had never been any deviation, which made Guxing want to cry but have no tears.
"Haha ~" It was rare for Xiao Yue to see him being defeated, so she laughed out loud. Her laughter was like a silver bell that washed away everything in an instant.
At this moment, Guxing was lying on the horse with his head resting on the back of the horse. Feeling the waves of bumps and comfort coming from his neck, Guxing closed his eyes in satisfaction.
"I don't want to kill people, but I don't want to be killed either. My dream is very simple. I want to live an ordinary life like now, but it seems to be very difficult. "
"The heavens have given us great responsibilities. We must first make our minds suffer. I have to work hard on their muscles and bones, so I have to bear with it. It will increase what we can't do. " Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Ordinary people may not necessarily be happy, but extraordinary people are not necessarily all bad things. The reason why you have gone through so much hardship is because you will be a person with great achievements. Compared to the glory in the future, your current suffering might only be temporary. "
"I don't care if the future will be glorious or not. I don't expect myself to have great achievements. I just want to find out my background, then return to my grandfather and uncle's side. I will protect them for the rest of my life. But now, the clue of the Yeh family has been cut off. . . "
Speaking of this, Guxing sighed. He said with regret, "Sometimes, I really don't know what I am living for. Now that I think about it, Life is really boring, Bao said. Wherever there were people, there would be martial arts world. Wherever there was martial arts world, there would be grudges. Along the way, although there are people who think of the good deeds I have done, But most of it is still the resentment and cold treatment of others towards me. I don't know what I have done wrong. As a result, those unexplainable suspicions are always so heart-chilling. "
"Everything has its reasons, and there will always be a day when the truth is revealed. Before that, you should always keep an optimistic heart and patiently wait, right?"
Xiao Yue heard his words and said disapprovingly, "Even if you are really the Son of Misfortune they were talking about, so what? Idiot, let me ask you, have you ever thought of destroying this world?"
Guxing shook his head and said: "Of course not. "
"Then that's it. " Xiao Yue said with a smile and suddenly became serious. "Little Guxing, can you promise me one thing?"
