In the shadow sea, Zhang Yifeng and his team worked together to strangle dozens of sea beasts again.
After several times of cooperation, Lan Yun now no longer thinks about dividing the sea beast's body among Zhang Yifeng and the others.
Because he knew that even if he opened his mouth, Zhang Yifeng would ask him to take back the bodies of these sea beasts.
Also because of this, the relationship between Lan Yun and Zhang Yifeng is quietly getting closer.
"It turns out that you are also carrying this kind of blood feud."
Lan Yun sighed, turned his head and looked at Lei Ao beside him and said.
After cleaning up the sea beast's body, he asked Zhang Yifeng some questions he was curious about because he had become closer during this period.
For example, why they came to Sihaizhou and why they wanted to go to the Imperial Treasury.
At the same time, he was also curious about how Lei Ao, a human race boy who was obviously young, followed Zhang Yifeng and others into the dangerous place of Beihai.
Zhang Yifeng gave straightforward answers to the previous questions.
However, regarding Lei Ao's matter, Zhang Yifeng still chose to let the person involved decide whether to tell Lan Yun.
Perhaps because he had been with Lan Yun for a while and knew that his nature was not bad, Lei Ao told him his experience without much resistance.
After hearing what Lei Ao said, Lan Yun also had mixed feelings in his heart. He understood how Lei Ao was feeling now.
"You...do you think this has something to do with your parents?"
"After all, if it weren't for them, your family wouldn't have been slaughtered by those evil people."
Lan Yun pursed his lips for a while, then asked Lei Ao in a low voice.
He knew that asking this question would definitely arouse Lei Ao's resentment.
But when he thought about his situation in the Sea Clan and all the things he thought about day and night, he couldn't help but want to ask this question.
Just because he felt that Lei Ao was too similar to him in some aspects.
The question he asked was actually more like seeking an answer or recognition.
When Lei Ao heard what Lan Yun said, just as he expected, anger rose in his eyes.
But soon, Lei Ao remembered Zhang Yifeng's previous instructions to him, and gradually suppressed his anger.
He stared carefully at the blue cloud beside him, and gradually noticed a bit of sadness in his eyes.
Thinking back to the past experiences of the Sea Clan, Lei Ao had vaguely guessed the intention of Lan Yun's question.
"No, I have always resented only those guys who ruined my family."
"My parents made their decision at that time, and I will never resent any of my family members!"
Lei Ao raised his head and gave the answer in his heart with firm eyes.
When Lan Yun heard this, he couldn't help but froze on the spot for a moment.
Zhang Yifeng, who was listening to Lei Ao's answer, also nodded slightly. After all, this kid has lived up to his cultivation.
Some things are like this. If Zhang Yifeng explains it too clearly, it will not be of much help to Lei Ao.
But as long as the parties involved are allowed to slowly understand it, they can always find their own path.
"Is this so..."
Lan Yun took a deep breath, his expression changed several times, and finally became calm.
For some reason, his mind recalled the teachings of his adoptive father Hai Wen.
"Hate is not a chain that binds you, but a driving force that drives you forward. Don't let hatred cover your eyes."
In the past, he had not taken these words seriously, and only regarded them as words used by his adoptive father to educate him casually.
But now looking at Lei Ao with firm eyes, he had a deeper understanding of these words.
"Let's find a place to rest first."
Lan Yun came to his senses after a while and walked straight away.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yifeng also led others to follow him silently. No one said a word along the way.
Soon Lan Yun found a safe area outside the Shadow Sea as a resting place, took out a gem and threw it on the ground.
Suddenly, a burst of light emitted from the gem, isolating all the surrounding seawater within a hundred meters.
After doing all this, Lan Yun just found a place to sit down blankly and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Yifeng saw this and did not disturb him. He meditated and rested not far from him.
In this way time gradually passed.
"Actually, I have always resented my father in my heart, why did he save those sinister human races."
"I'm just like other sea people. I never thought too much about anything. I just resented them from the bottom of my heart."
"The reason why I came to participate in this sea hunting ceremony and tried my best to win the championship was just to wash away the humiliation I thought I had."
Lan Yun suddenly spoke to himself and told what he thought of his father.
Although he never confided his thoughts to anyone, these things never disappeared and always existed in his heart.
Now he doesn't know why, but he just wants to tell these things.
Now that he has spoken out all the worries that were suppressed in his heart, Lan Yun feels a lot better.
He didn't know why he had to reveal his feelings to a group of guys he had never met before today, but he did it anyway.
"There is nothing wrong with General Lan thinking so. After all, this is an established fact."
"But from my perspective as an outsider, this matter may not be that simple."
"The fact is that facts cannot be changed, but when General Lan's father rescued people, he had no idea what would happen next."
Zhang Yifeng spoke quietly and expressed his thoughts.
When Lan Yun heard this, he slowly lowered his head and savored the true meaning of his words.
Zhang Yifeng didn't say anything else, it was better to leave some more time for Lan Yun to think.
"Let's go, Mr. Zhang, let's go hunt sea beasts!"
After a while, Lan Yun suddenly stood up from the ground and said firmly.
At this moment, there was no trace of confusion on his face, and his face was no longer as distant and distant from Zhang Yifeng and the others as before.
Just as Zhang Yifeng nodded in response and prepared to set off together.
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came from behind him.
"Um?"
Zhang Yifeng frowned and said suspiciously, then turned around quickly and grabbed the incoming object with one hand.
Looking down, he saw a water arrow in his hand.
With a slight exertion, Zhang Yifeng crushed the water arrow to pieces on the spot.
"This is... If you don't hunt sea beasts in your own waters, why do you want to attack us!"
Lan Yun, who was regaining his energy at the side, also noticed the crushed water arrow in Zhang Yifeng's hand, and immediately shouted sharply in the direction where Shuijian was coming.
"Oh, he is indeed a traitor from the Hai Clan, and he has become friendly with these human tribes so quickly."
"You still use the word "us". You are indeed the son of a sinner. Even after what he has experienced, he still refuses to change his ways!"
"What a nest of snakes and rats, I will let you die in this sea of shadows today."
