As soon as I arrived at the door, I knew that what Zhang Wuliu said was not bad. The guard at the door bowed to greet me when he saw me and said that the four elders had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.

Sure enough, what is coming is finally coming?

With a nervous heart, I walked into the living room of Murong Villa, which I had long been familiar with. Things in the mortal world have nothing to do with demons and immortals. Even the affairs of the Murong family, which has a deep connection with Changbai Mountain, cannot shake the demons and immortals' heart that is far away from the world.

He stepped into the lobby alone and looked back unconsciously with the light of his eyes. Zhang Wuliu had indeed avoided it. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, looked at the four old men standing and waiting in the hall, and tried hard to calm himself down.

After the four of them looked me carefully, they looked at me again and bowed to me: "Little Miss!"

I sideways and avoids it.

A trace of praise flashed in the eyes of the four people, and at the same time, a trace of worry was also brought.

"Four elders, please sit in!" After that, I walked to the main seat and sat down. From the moment I entered the door, I vaguely guessed the purpose of their visit. I was inexplicably upset and felt unwilling to say more hypocritical and polite words, so I went straight to the point: "The four elders came to Japan this time, don't know what the matter is?"

I gently plucked the tea foam floating on the cup with the tea lid, and the tea cup in front of me just covered the corner of my uneasy lips.

"Miss is almost fifteen years old this year!" the old man in charge spoke.

"Yeah!" I nodded, my heart was even more nervous but no trace was revealed.

"Miss Lan Ruo's only child, and now he is the heir to Dragon Soul. The four of us discussed it and hoped that the lady could go back to China for a tour and a wedding ceremony!"

I slapped my hands, put the teacup back on a few, and asked back: "Go back to China? I am bluntly, what four of you mean..."

The four of them looked at each other again, as if they had made up their minds. The person who was still in the lead spoke: "We, I hope, the little lady can return to the Murong family."

Sure enough... I lowered my head, showed no emotion, and remained silent, but my heart was full of twists and turns.

"I... need to think about it! I have lost my companion, please give me your own advice!" After saying this hurriedly, he returned to the small courtyard where he usually lives.

That night, I sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the crappy moon in the sky, feeling upset. Once, I thought I wanted to go back to the Murong family because it was my root. But now I waited around and finally waited for the person who took me back, but I was timid. I was not as brave as I thought, and could resist the lives of more than 2,000 people in the four families without hesitation; I was not as firm as I thought, and could have the courage to face the ups and downs of the future. Perhaps, I was a timid and cowardly person. When facing real dangers and burdens, I was like an ordinary person, and the first thing I thought of was to retreat.

"The night dew is deep, so I'm not afraid of catching a cold when I'm blowing outside?"

A leisurely sound came, and I didn't look back.

"Zhang Wuliu, you said, am I useless?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Wuliu sat down beside me, and took out a pot of wine from the back of his waist and started drinking it.

"When facing the indifference of the world and the difficulties of the Ito family, I was determined to go back to the Murong family. But now, I can finally go back, but I became scared again. Although I had known the price of inheriting the Dragon Soul, I really felt scared until I faced a choice. I was afraid that I would not be able to bear such a burden, I would disappoint everyone, and even be afraid of death..." I immediately stopped when I noticed that my tone of voice was trembling obviously, and I immediately quit.

Zhang Wuliu still poured the wine into Baiyu's cup in an elegant posture and said carelessly: "What's the point of fear of death? If you are a human, you will die. Not to mention those mortals, even the demons and immortals who practice and attain enlightenment in the mountains only live longer than ordinary humans and beasts. In the end, they become immortals and are truly ranked in the immortal class and can live forever?"

"But, I'm different, I can't die! If I die, then the people of the four major families will not be able to escape the curse of fate, and they will..."

"What will happen to them? That is their destiny! If a person does not even have the power to die, then how can he be called a human? Only after experiencing birth, old age, illness, death, and feeling the seven emotions and six desires can he be a complete person. Only those who live and do not die are immortals!"

When Zhang Wuliu said this, his smile seemed to be as beautiful as illusory.

"But...but I'm really scared... A family with a history of thousands of years cannot have no dark side. When I think of the things recorded in the history of the family, it is very likely that they will be repeated from me in the future. I, I... I don't want to become that person, and there is nothing except supreme power..."

"For kings, thousands of people respect it. One word of death, one word of life! One word of the word can determine a person's fate, life and death. How many people desire? How many people have fought for this supreme power? Once upon a time, I didn't understand why people had so many obsessions, such as power, like love. But what I don't understand even more is why what everyone wants is placed in front of you, but you are afraid?"

Zhang Wuliu asked very bluntly, but I didn't know how to answer.

I stared at him blankly for a while, and turned to look at the waning moon in the sky.

"Zhang Wuliu, do you think the moon is beautiful?"

When Zhang Wuliu heard this, he looked up at the sky, curled up the corner of his mouth, but the words he said were: "It's not as beautiful as Changbai Mountain."

"But the real moon is not as perfect as we see now. On the other side of this bright moon is the wasteland covered with gullies, the desolation without people and life... There is no Guanghan Palace, no laurel, no Chang'e, no Wu Gang, nothing..."

"Is that true?" Zhang Wuliu's face did not change, but just responded lightly: "But, the moon is still the moon."

I glanced at him and said, "Yes, the moon is still the moon, but the real moon is not the moon that people imagine. Just like everyone wants to be kings, but never knows that the real king is actually like this moon. It looks beautiful in the eyes of outsiders, but behind it, it is so unbearable."

Zhang Wuliu also lowered his head and looked at me and said, "So what? The king is still the king, you are still you, Murong Ziyun will still be Murong Ziyun."

I was stunned for a long time after listening to his words, but in the end I still couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe, you're right, but..."

Zhang Wuliu smiled and said, "No hurry, you are still young, slowly realize it. One day, you will figure it out."

I also laughed: "Maybe, but now there is not so much time to make me think!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Wuliu glanced at me and continued to pour the wine from the wine glass into his mouth.

"How much do you know about the inheritance of Dragon Soul?" I took the wine pot in his hand and found that there was no cup, so I snatched the one in his hand while he was stunned and thought.

"Isn't it enough to have inherited bloodline?" Zhang Wuliu thought for a while, and then changed another cup.

After a glass of wine, I exhaled a sip of wine: "It's not that simple. The families that inherited the Dragon Soul are all royal families, and the four major families that have always been loyal to the royal family have just had different family talents."

"Those four old men?"

"Well!" I nodded and counted one by one: "The Jun family has extraordinary force. Anyone from the Jun family must have too ordinary martial arts and military talents. The Cang family has been in charge of economic power since the founding of the Dayan country. The Yu family is a Yin-Yang family, which is in charge of divination and sacrifices of the Murong clan. The Hai family has been practicing medicine for generations, and is currently unmatched in medicine. The talents of these four families are exactly the cornerstone of a stable development of a country. It can be said that only by mastering the power of these four families can the entire country gain a foothold in the world and develop steadily. However, the abilities of these families are not without cost. God is fair. While giving them these too ordinary abilities, it also issued terrible curses to them. In order to avoid these curses fulfilled in them, these four major families were loyal to the dragon soul and used the power of the dragon soul to resolve these curses."

Zhang Wuliu said thoughtfully: "No wonder, loyalty that has not changed for thousands of years has indeed not been possible in humans. Human life is very short and naturally recognized the seven emotions and six desires. It is never like our demons and immortals who recognize one thing for life. Therefore, although the spiritual consciousness of mortals is the first of all sentient beings, for thousands of years, we demons and immortals can live forever, but no one can become an immortal after all."

I sighed: "Yes! I have recognized the seven emotions and six desires, but I have many troubles. Sometimes I really feel that it is best to know nothing!"

After a quiet moment, I continued: "In fact, inheriting the dragon soul is not without a price. The dragon soul chooses bloodline, so when there is a choice, he is very picky about the heirs. The prince's scrambling for the throne is one of the ways he chooses his heirs. So in the end, the emperor inherits the dragon soul, there will be no one around him who can trust... Just like this moon, although he can only look up to him, he is cold and lonely after all."

"But won't those four old men be loyal to you all the time? Can't you even believe them?"

"Yes, but they will only be afraid of me."

"Fear? Where to start?"

"Those who inherit the dragon soul must enter the genealogy to use the power of the dragon soul, and only by using the power of the dragon soul can they resolve the curse of the four major families. However, once the power of the dragon soul is used, it means that I can control the life and death of the four families at will. With just one thought, I can instantly stop breathing."

Zhang Wuliu frowned: "He is so domineering, he deserves to be the ancient dragon soul..."

"Only in this way can they not betray them. This means that as kings, they cannot trust anyone unless they can control their life and death..."
