"That is to say, some people's plans will come to nothing." Lin looked at her with a smile, "Don't be too stubborn, you two. It's not a bad thing to be stubborn, but you should at least figure out what is really worth doing.
It’s a matter.”
"Reviving Qi State or eradicating monsters are just means." The pink girl calmly replied, "Shuiyun, and Wei Feng. What you want to do from the beginning is... to protect the people you care about."
Shuiyun closed her eyes. She didn't know what Wei Feng's response was, but she nodded slightly.
It suddenly began to rain in the sky, and the fine raindrops fell on the top of her head and arms, bringing a touch of coolness and calming the waves in her heart. The noise in the distance seemed to have faded away, and the surrounding area became quiet, leaving only the drizzle rubbing the leaves.
A soft knock on the eaves.
After an unknown period of time, the sound of rain gradually stopped. With the soft snowflakes rolled up, a group of familiar and unfamiliar people surrounded her. She looked at the faces in front of her in turn and matched them one by one with the people in her memory.
.
There was no blame or complaint in the eyes he cast on her, but only trust and care. Countless words rolled through his chest, but in the end, everything condensed into three short words——
"I'm sorry." She couldn't bear to meet those eyes anymore, "My parents' expectations... everyone's expectations... I couldn't..."
The thin old man approached slowly, opened his hands, and gently held her in his broad arms. It felt a bit like his father, and it was the warmth she had never felt since she became the "King of Mist".
"Thank you for your hard work." She heard the old man sigh softly, his voice slightly lowered, "So, it's time to give up, Shuiyun."
She bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say. She could understand what the old man meant, but she couldn't accept it immediately.
"What happens after that?" Shuiyun murmured, "What will happen to you? Where will the other clan members go... I can't just..."
The old man took a step back and met her eyes again.
"That is not your responsibility alone." He whispered, as serious and solemn as when he was still with his father, "Each of us must be responsible for our own choices."
Another hoarse voice came. The old friend's face was haggard, his expression was still worried, and there was a faint glimmer of water in his eyes.
"We will try to stay in the empire." Yan Qing glanced at her, then looked away slightly, "Go to a city that can accept us, and try to live..." She paused for a moment, as if to calm down, "Maybe then
It will take a long time, but that's not your fault, Sister Shuiyun. Everything is... the price we need to pay for our stubbornness."
Shuiyun didn't answer. She felt her chest was filled with stones, but she forced herself to look at her friend's face. After today, many of the tribesmen outside the city who are monks here may never be able to see each other again for the rest of their lives.
Until someone tapped her on the shoulder, which was a little strong enough to wake her up.
"The matter is not over yet." The blond girl said seriously, "It is a good thing to give up wrong obsessions, but who said we have to leave you to fate - then our work will be in vain!"
"Then what are you going to do..." She seemed to have guessed something, but was not sure about it, "How to do it?"
Lin looked around for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed at the blue sky.
"Look there."
Shuiyun also looked at the sky. The sunlight was a bit dazzling. She squinted her eyes, feeling the warmth falling on her cheeks, and prayed silently in her heart.
At first there was nothing there. After more than ten seconds, a black spot appeared at the end of the line of sight. It quickly approached and gradually grew larger. It looked like a cylinder made of metal, with wide and thin branches extending from both sides and the tail.
Iron wing.
It made a sharp roar, flew over the city walls of Xin'an, passed over everyone's heads like lightning, and then circled and gradually lowered its height.
"Wow." The blonde girl exclaimed happily, "It looks really good. Should we make one too?"
"Take your time." Yuffie laughed, "Speaking of which, I will tell Alphonse again when I see him again."
Two people appeared from under the cylinder and slowly descended to the ground. She knew - and had seen them: the other daughter of "Luo Zhen", who lived in the Alliance's Starry Sky all year round; and the monsters in name...
...No, maybe it is already the actual "King", Anya.
The young 'demon king' wearing a formal dress whispered his thanks to Man Gypsophila, then passed her and went straight to the leader of the 'Tubu'.
"Long time no see, Wei Feng." She said sincerely, "Dispel their spell, Yuffie, thank you."
The pink girl did as she was told. Wei Feng stood up and looked at Anya condescendingly.
"What do you want to say?" The man's eyes were cold and he seemed to have no regrets.
Anya looked at him without showing any signs of weakness. "I know about your past." She said, "Thirty-three years ago, the "Broken Society" attacked Amethyst Town in Agate Territory and killed more than half of the residents in the village.
That includes all of your family."
A kitten jumped out of her arms and turned into what looked like a young child, looking at Wei Feng timidly.
"His name is Fukuhara, and he was once a member of the "Broken Society"." Anya didn't pay attention to the man's suddenly cold gaze, as if he was telling a fairy tale, "And he joined there because it was only six years after he "channelled".
The 'parents' who raised him died at the hands of humans."
Wei Feng clenched his fists, as if he wanted to swing at the monster in front of him, but in the end he just shook his head slightly. Shui Yun swallowed uneasily when he heard the girl's next words.
"However, "Broken Club" no longer exists."
"With the help of all the elders of the alliance and many people, we destroyed it. Most of the core members are imprisoned in Xiyang City. We will gradually release them only if we ensure that no more trouble is caused." Her voice sounded.
A little lighter, but still firm, "Those who still intend to persist in revenge...have returned to the embrace of nature."
Shuiyun took a gentle breath. The girl's words were understated, but the "King of Mist" knew very well how much determination and strength it took to do this in a very short period of time.
"In the future, there will still be monsters killing humans, and humans will attack monsters. That is not a reason to pit the entire race against each other, or to start a war. Those who need to be restrained and punished, whether humans or monsters, are just individuals."
The woman in white looked at Wei Feng, and when she saw the man's iron-hard expression, she finally felt a little shaken.
"Perhaps such an idea is so beautiful that people don't want to believe it-" Anya breathed out softly and stared into Wei Feng's eyes, "But you, who have experienced the pain of separation, like Leia...should yearn for it.
Living in such a world, right?”
The girl shut her mouth, and the garden was silent for a moment. Wei Feng stared at Anya wordlessly for a long time, then turned his back.
"That's right, I don't believe you." The man breathed out and said calmly, "I have to use my own eyes to confirm whether your dream is realistic." He looked at Yuffie and Lin not far away, "Help
I tell the "King of Darkness"... thank you for your continued care."
"Don't worry." Yuffie replied with a smile, "He understands it from the beginning."
The man slowly blended into the earth and disappeared. Anya turned around and came to the woman in white.
"Maybe this is a bit hasty..." the girl organized her words, "As the King of Gipnis, I invite you and all the Yanwu people who are willing to follow you to become a member of the alliance."
Shuiyun opened her mouth slightly, not trusting her ears - even though she had had a similar dream.
"The area of the alliance is the same as that of the empire, but the number of residents is only a quarter. I will find a land suitable for living, and you and your tribe will develop it together." Anya looked at the tribesmen surrounding her, with a look in her eyes.
A bit sympathetic, "But I can't guarantee that you can integrate into the alliance or live in harmony with the monsters. After all, as Wei Feng and I said -" she said softly, "this is a beautiful dream."
Shuiyun stared at that face. The girl was only a teenager, not even half her age. When they first met before, she still remembered the other person hiding behind Yuffie, with an uneasy look on his face. Now a month has passed, this
The 'King' of the famous monster clan is still young, but he has found the path he wants to take.
She looked back at everyone around her again, receiving encouragement and tolerance from every look.
"Are you confident you can make it happen?" she asked.
Anya shook her head, "I'm not sure. Maybe it's very far away and will take longer than my lifetime." She stretched out her hand to Shuiyun, "But I want to try to get close."
Shuiyun stood up straight with the help of the girl's hand. She looked to the south of the courtyard. The towering walls blocked her sight and she could not see the outside scene. Her legs were still numb and the future was blurry... At least she knew what needed to be done now.
What is.
"Please wait for me. Anya, Yuffie, Lin... and everyone." The woman in white raised her hand and chanted a spell in a low voice, "Those tribesmen who believe in me... I am going to bring them back."
