Chapter 1822: Chapter 93: As If the Moon Were Here (Part 2)
Yue Tiannu seed struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze for a long ti, speechless.
The gray robe concealed her fra.
Her face, with a brass-colored sheen, was truly a masterful puppet creation, showing nothing different from a human.
anwhile, Jiang Wang had already shifted his gaze to Zuo Guangshu in the palm of Mohuluojia’s right hand, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Why are you just standing there?”
The speed of awakening also sowhat revealed the difference in spirit between Zuo Guangshu and Yue Tiannu.
Yue Tiannu claiming her spirit to be strong was no re bragging. No wonder she couldn’t accept the major flaw in her spirit.
The youthful innocence on his face was what distinguished Zuo Guangshu from others in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He was the youngest and had the least experience.
At this mont, freshly awakened, sitting in the massive palm of Mohuluojia, he had a sense of helpless innocence.
Despite his regal attire and the puppet’s majesty.
He looked down at the familiar figure standing on the sea surface, tears almost welled up, but he forced them back.
“I held you back… Brother Jiang.” He said this.
This proud young man was clearly deeply impacted by this expedition in the Mountain and Sea Realm. When encountering foreign beasts, he could only flee, when trapped by Hudou, he could only rely on Jiang Wang to divert the chase. When eting Dou Zhao, all he could do was wait for Jiang Wang to rescue him. Not to ntion during the ambush by Wu Ling and Ge Fei, he was still unconscious…
After finally waking up, wanting to save his brother, he was easily crushed by a random stranger he t!
He found it hard to convince himself he could ever “be like him”…
He felt a trendous frustration, doubting the courage and beliefs he always had.
Jiang Wang lightly stepped on the sea surface, leaping up gracefully, landing in front of Zuo Guangshu.
Mohuluojia’s palm was truly large, enough for him to stand.
He bent down, smiling, tapping two fingers on Zuo Guangshu’s smooth forehead, knock knock.
Then he tilted his ear, pretending to listen earnestly. Then frowned and said, “It doesn’t sound right, why don’t I hear the water sound?”
Zuo Guangshu’s feeling of crying instantly disappeared.
“What on earth!” He couldn’t help but flick Jiang Wang’s hand away.
“Do you know how old I am this year?” Jiang Wang looked at him exaggeratedly, “I’ve been working hard since I was little until now, much older than you! How dare you even think of keeping up with my steps now, not holding back, isn’t that underestimating , the destined first Inner Mansion whose na will be known in history, hmm?”
Zuo Guangshu was montarily speechless.
“If you ask , you really have nothing to feel bad about,” Jiang Wang continued proudly, “There are so many people under Brother Jiang than you! From south to north, east to west, hundreds of years, what Wang Yiwu, Qin Zhizhen, Yellow Sheri, Xiang Bei, Wu Ling… Can’t even count them! They were all geniuses of the nation, young heroes, yet none seem to have vanished!”
“So smug!” Zuo Guangshu gritted his teeth, “Sooner or later, I will surpass you!”
Bang!
Jiang Wang smoothly flicked his forehead with a snap, smiling, “Deal.”
Zuo Guangshu vowed to flick back in the future.
He couldn’t help but grimace, feeling his forehead hurt.
But inside, he felt very warm.
…
…
If there were a bright moon in the Mountain and Sea Realm, tonight would indeed be a wonderful evening.
Walking on the water as smooth as a mirror, Wang Changji thought inexplicably.
“By calculation, you should have entered the Inner Mansion in the sa batch as him, should be quite familiar, right?” He asked casually.
“Ah, yes, very familiar.” Fang Helling still followed behind Wang Changji, stepping on water, making a very slight sound that spread in the quiet night.
When not using his Heart of Hatred divine skill, he was like this.
His appearance wasn’t unattractive, but not outstanding either.
No unforgettable aura, giving off a silent, reticent feeling.
He slowly said, “Back then I once regarded him as an enemy, soone I must defeat. Always striving towards that goal.”
Even soone like Wang Changji paused.
Perhaps considering, this was too unrealistic.
“He and my cousin Fang Pengju were sworn brothers. There were five of them in total, one oldest, like a good guy, called Ling He. One addicted to alcohol, with a violent temper, called Du Yehu. One who looked very handso, called Zhao Rucheng. They were known in the Daoist School’s Outer Sect by a na, ‘Maple Forest Five Heroes.’
As Fang Helling spoke, he shook his head, a hint of an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth: “Very cliched isn’t it? Like they’re minor roles quickly glossed over in a storyteller’s tale.”
Wang Changji didn’t speak for a mont.
Back when he was in Fenglin City, living in seclusion, ignoring everything, he hardly knew anything outside the Wang Clan grounds, nor cared.
Wang Changxiang would often tell him various things, but always intentionally avoided matters related to the Daoist School.
Maple Forest Five Heroes…
Indeed, as Fang Helling said, sowhat clichéd.
But also possessed a youthful spirit.
He could almost sketch from Fang Helling’s depiction what Jiang Wang was like back then.
Just as Jiang Wang said himself, he was very naive and easily deceived then.
Including Fang Helling behind him, how much had changed by Bai Gu Evil God…
“But I admire them.” Fang Helling didn’t know Wang Changji’s thoughts, continued speaking: “I really wanted to join them…”
At this point, he paused.
As if at this mont sorting through ti, he finally saw clearly his younger self.
Then he said, “So actually at first I didn’t find that na clichéd, I thought it was powerful. I wanted to beco one of the Maple Forest Six Heroes.”
“But they often ignored , no matter how I tried, I couldn’t jump into their circle. I couldn’t beco them, so I made myself look down on them. So later when I entered the Inner Mansion, I told myself I must make them look at straight.”
He spread his hands, seemingly saying, turns out I was like that then. I accept I was like that.
“And later?” Wang Changji seed interested in such not particularly interesting things.
“Later…” Fang Helling lowered his eyes but didn’t continue, veered: “Now thinking back to those things, seem pointless, youthful pride insignificant. If those could all not happen, I’d rather be forever ignored by them…”
Youthful pride actually weighs heavily.
But people differ.
Wang Changji especially understood. Even if Fang Helling willingly lowered himself to the dust, his choice wasn’t ignoble.
Thinking for a mont, he asked, “Why did they ignore you?”
“Who knows?” Fang Helling shook his head: “Perhaps they looked down on for my insufficient talent, or maybe they wanted to vent for my cousin?”
“Vent for your cousin?”
“The clan leader was my father then.” Fang Helling’s voice lowered: “He loved very much, really loved . All he did was for my sake. He favored with the clan’s resources, rather than my more gifted cousin. My cousin thus distanced from .”
“They five had deep bonds, thus held hostility towards , thinking now, it was normal.”
“Before your cousin distanced from you?” Wang Changji asked: “Didn’t you say they always ignored you? Before your cousin distanced, why was that?”
“I don’t know.” Fang Helling shook his head, smiled: “Probably because I was useless.”
Wang Changji stopped walking, slowly said: “You still don’t know well enough, if you knew , you’d know I can’t find pleasure in belittling you. More than that, accurately speaking, no matter what you do, it can’t affect my emotions. Do you understand saying this?”
“Sorry.” Fang Helling promptly bowed and apologized: “I’ve grown used to degrading myself, nothing to do with you. I will change, definitely.”
“Why don’t you ask yourself?” Wang Changji said.
Fang Helling paused, then said: “Ask what?”
“Ask Jiang Wang and the others why they ignored you back then.”
Fang Helling looked down at the water reflection: “I never thought of that.”
“You don’t seem to want to face Jiang Wang.” Wang Changji said.
“I don’t know.”
“Do you dislike or hate him?”
Fang Helling was silent for a while, then said: “Probably jealousy.”
There was faint wind at the ti, but it quickly dissipated like ripples on water.
