"Old man, I’ve co to see you..." Looking at the sowhat lonely grave in front of him, Liu Hun slowly walked forward, murmuring softly in his heart.
He lit so incense, burned so paper, and then Liu Hun opened a bottle of sorghum wine and gently poured it in front of the grave.
In his previous life, the old man’s favorite drink was sorghum wine. To this day, Liu Hun clearly rembers the old man once said: In this world, only wine made from sorghum truly has the best aroma.
At that ti, Liu Hun used to mock the old man for not being able to afford high-end alcohol, telling him not to pretend to be what he was not; the result was a heavy scolding in return.
Liu Hun used to find this kind of life sowhat annoying, always complaining about why the old man wouldn’t let him go down the mountain. It wasn’t until now that he realized going down the mountain might not be a good thing; the mundane world is tempting, but how can it compare to this piece of tranquility?
If he could, Liu Hun would even trade everything he has now for the life he had back then, but the old man is no longer here, leaving behind only sadness and hatred.
Without a word, after completing all this, Liu Hun respectfully knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three tis.
Witnessing this scene, Li Dandan couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. This seemingly strong man in front of her, what on earth had he experienced to have changed like this?
And at this mont, Li Dandan could vaguely feel that the person buried in this grave must be soone very close to Liu Hun.
Despite many doubts, Li Dandan instinctively walked up to Liu Hun, knelt down in the muddy ground, and respectfully kowtowed three tis.
Seeing Li Dandan’s actions, Liu Hun frowned slightly but did not stop her.
"You don’t need to kowtow to him." After Li Dandan finished kowtowing, Liu Hun finally said to Li Dandan calmly.
"Though our relationship is fake, the deceased are paramount," Li Dandan replied seriously, looking at Liu Hun.
In the face of Li Dandan’s response, Liu Hun’s gaze turned complicated. He took a swig of sorghum wine from the bottle in his hand, letting the fiery sensation seep down his throat.
"Do you believe that good people get rewarded in this world?" Liu Hun asked Li Dandan seriously after taking a sip of wine.
"I believe it, even though I know the world is dirty, I’m still willing to believe. If a person loses their faith, what’s the point of living?" Although Li Dandan didn’t understand why Liu Hun suddenly asked her this question, she thought for a mont and answered Liu Hun earnestly.
Faced with Li Dandan’s answer, Liu Hun burst into laughter; a laugh so unrestrained.
"Do you know who is buried here?" A man who saved countless lives t such an end, and all of it was due to the selfish desires of others. I, Liu Hun, am not a Saint, but I will make every one of them pay the appropriate price." After laughing, Liu Hun’s eyes were full of murderous intent.
It was the first ti Li Dandan saw Liu Hun show such a ferocious appearance, and she was taken aback in that instant.
Then, as she felt the trace of desolation carried within Liu Hun’s eyes filled with killing intent, she hesitated for a mont but then gritted her teeth, walked up to Liu Hun, and gently held his large hand with hers.
Feeling the tender little hands within his embrace, Liu Hun’s heart suddenly paused, then he slowly closed his eyes, gradually calming the chaotic energy within him.
After a long while, Liu Hun finally opened his eyes, looked at Li Dandan in front of him, and bitterly smiled: "Thank you, Little Dan."
If it weren’t for Li Dandan just now, perhaps Liu Hun would have gone out of control, ultimately leading to his demise from the backlash of his own energy.
"If you’re willing to talk, I’m always here by your side." Li Dandan said softly, looking at Liu Hun with a touch of heartache.
No matter how strong a man appears on the outside, there is always a vulnerable place in his heart, and at this mont, Liu Hun was just like that.
"Do you believe in rebirth in this world?" Liu Hun suddenly turned to Li Dandan and asked.
Since his rebirth until now, it has been almost half a year, and during this ti, Liu Hun has constantly endured the tornt of carrying his hatred; no one knew any of this. Even eting Han San and Yang Yi back then, Liu Hun never revealed a single bit.
But Liu Hun was just one person, and there were things he needed to confide in soone. At this mont, he didn’t even think about what the consequences would be if this matter got out; he needed to heal like an injured fawn.
Li Dandan, hearing what Liu Hun said, inadvertently shook her head.
However, the next mont, she suddenly thought of sothing and looked at Liu Hun with an expression of disbelief.
Seeing the shock in Li Dandan’s expression, Liu Hun said calmly: "In my past life, this is where I was raised, and the old man who died here was my master, the person closest to in this world."
"But...but isn’t your ho in Shanghe Village?" Li Dandan asked shockingly, looking at Liu Hun.
"That’s right, my ho is indeed in Shanghe Village, but this is still my ho. That ti, I was frad and killed, and then I was reborn into this body. Although I don’t know exactly what happened, since I’ve been reborn, I should bear the responsibilities of this life. This is also why, after I established Shanghe Village, I ca to Huaihai Province." Liu Hun said with no trace of concealnt, speaking to himself.
At this mont, Li Dandan didn’t even know how to respond to Liu Hun. Such things were too shocking.
"Originally, I thought those people were targeting only , but later I realized how naive I was; even the old man wasn’t spared. Since I’ve been reborn in this life, I must avenge the old man." As he said these last words, Liu Hun looked ahead at the open space.
This was where he was murdered back then, and if it were just that, Liu Hun might not have cared much. After all, he had been reborn, but the old man’s death was sothing he couldn’t accept.
Therefore, no matter what the cost, he would seek revenge for the old man.
When Liu Hun was establishing Shanghe Village, Li Dandan had unintentionally seen a report that ntioned the various doubts surrounding Liu Hun’s awakening.
But no one could explain these doubts, so it eventually ca to nothing. But now, after Liu Hun’s explanation, she gradually realized that what Liu Hun had said was probably true.
"Liu Hun, if it’s really like you say, if you’re thinking of revenge, have you thought about your family in this life, and what would happen to them if sothing happened to you?" After suppressing the shock in her heart, Li Dandan grasped Liu Hun’s large hand even tighter.
"As soone who has lived two lives, I must bear the responsibilities of both. For them, it’s naturally a responsibility I cannot shirk, but I still bear responsibility for the old man’s death." After Liu Hun finished speaking, he said nothing more.
So principles he didn’t expect Li Dandan to understand; as long as he understood them himself, it was enough.
Just as Li Dandan was about to speak, Liu Hun shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "Why am I telling you this? These matters surpass your imagination, and knowing them is not safe for you."
"Yet I do not regret it." Li Dandan suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of seriousness as she looked at Liu Hun and replied.
Their eyes t, and Liu Hun could feel a mix of concern and defiance in Li Dandan’s gaze.
"Don’t worry. Later, I’ll find a way to temporarily erase these mories for you. It’s also a good thing for you." Although Liu Hun felt a bit touched, he maintained a firm stance on the surface.
"Liu Hun, I said I don’t regret it, so I don’t need you to erase these mories for ." As soon as Liu Hun finished speaking, Li Dandan was taken aback for a mont and then looked at Liu Hun with anger, speaking loudly.
"Since you chose to tell , then I’ll help you share so of the pain. Don’t forget, I am your girlfriend!" Li Dandan didn’t quite know why, but she was particularly insistent at this mont.
Liu Hun didn’t know what was on Li Dandan’s mind, nor did he want to guess. Although he regretted telling Li Dandan these things now, if Li Dandan insisted, he wouldn’t say anything more.
"Whoosh!" Just as Liu Hun and Li Dandan were looking at each other, a piercing sound suddenly rang in Liu Hun’s ear.
In the next mont, Liu Hun’s expression changed dramatically. Without even thinking, he directly pushed Li Dandan down to the ground.
"Psst!" A faint sound rang out, and Liu Hun felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
Seeing the flying knife lightly piercing into his shoulder, Liu Hun’s pupils couldn’t help but contract slightly. Flipping over, he stood up from the ground, staring intently at a middle-aged man in casual clothes in front of him.
"Liu Hun, you’re hurt..." Seeing the blood on the ground, Li Dandan just noticed the flying knife in Liu Hun’s shoulder, and she exclaid in shock.
"This is the danger I was just telling you about. Not everyone can walk into my world!" Liu Hun didn’t turn his head and coldly spoke to Li Dandan, shielding her.
Looking at Liu Hun’s not-so-broad back and the cold-faced middle-aged man in front, Li Dandan’s face was pale, but her eyes didn’t show any regret.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked at the two, then glanced at the incense sticks in front of the grave, coldly asking Liu Hun.
"Mitsubishi Flying Knife, you’re Black Shark!" Liu Hun didn’t answer him directly, instead focusing on the man with murderous intent.
Black Shark is considered a taboo among cultivators, practicing a cultivation technique that focuses on killing people. The more people they kill, the stronger they beco.
Even cultivators feel fear for such a person, and Liu Hun is no exception.
Although Liu Hun didn’t quite understand why such a rumored figure appeared here, recalling his recent investigations from Wenhua’s subordinates about erased mories, Liu Hun instinctively thought the man was part of that force.
"I didn’t expect you to have such keen eyesight. It’s a pity, though. You will both still die here today." Black Shark’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but it quickly faded, replaced by an intense killing intent.
Liu Hun hadn’t expected that after returning for so long, he would encounter such a person. However, he was puzzled. If Black Shark had been guarding this place, Han San wouldn’t have escaped death either.
Yet when he previously t Han San, Han San never ntioned this matter; Liu Hun completely trusted Han San. So, the only explanation for Black Shark’s presence was that he arrived after Han San had left.
