Zhao Liming nodded: "We are all your students. As a teacher, we all hope that our students can grow up."
Zhou Yuandao: "And what I want is not just these. I want you to surpass me and crush me. When one day I am no longer here, you will have no impact on this world."
"Because, you are still here. Not only do you have to surpass me in ability, but you also have to surpass me in all aspects. I am no longer the hard-working me I used to be."
"Everything I am doing now is just to achieve your success."
"People no longer need Yuanlong Zhanzun. What they need is you who are stronger, younger, and more courageous and resourceful."
Zhao Liming replied: "You always like to think about others so much, but I think you should think more about your wife and children. She needs you to protect her more than us."
Zhou Yuandao: "When we are faced with the only choice, I have no way out. I place all my hopes on you because you can do better than me."
"As for Qing Wu, she will understand me."
"Can the child understand?" Zhao Liming asked rhetorically.
"When Yuanqi grows up, she may have her own ideas, but I don't want her to live in her father's world forever. So when the time comes, you have to help her more and get out of the shadow her father has brought to her."
This conversation between master and apprentice seemed like a farewell.
Zhao Liming also knew clearly what Zhou Yuan must have seen in Tianchi.
So, he knows his ending.
Even though he knows his ending, he has not stopped moving towards it, and is still trying to reach it.
This conversation may be their last face-to-face conversation.
Zhao Liming took a deep breath, lowered his head and said: "The five of us will take good care of Yuanqi and the master's wife, but this is what I don't want to see. Your woman should be taken care of by you."
"so......"
Zhao Liming stood up and said: "I remember you once said that any prophecy can be broken. And I, Zhao Liming, swear that I will eventually break this prophecy, because I don't want to take care of your wife and children.
This is your own business."
Zhou Yuan smiled abruptly: "Have you forgotten what I just told you? No matter what happens, don't interrupt our final plan."
"I can add to it that I can abide by the plan, but I also won't let you make any mistakes."
As soon as Zhao Liming finished speaking, Zhou Yuan stood up and punched Zhao Liming in the face.
Then the second punch, then the third punch.
Zhou Yuan punched Zhao Liming three times in total, clapped his hands and said, "I'll set off as soon as the sun breaks. Please guard Longcheng and help me prepare some supplies. I'll go and rest for a while."
Zhao Liming rubbed the face that was beaten by Zhou Yuan.
Ruoli stood up, pinched Zhao Liming's shoulder three times, and then said: "A large part of what he said is actually what you should do."
"Maybe you should think carefully about what the real ending is!"
It's hard to guess the meaning of Ruoli's words.
But Zhao Liming turned around and watched Zhou Yuan and Ruoli leave.
