Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
Yin Yang wandered aimlessly through the streets, where he saw joyful smiles from the crowds, and the most discussed topic was immortality.
All these changes stemmed from the empty promise of immortality that Cangmu had given them. They were complacent and carried away by it, and even began to give up on themselves, waiting for immortality to arrive!
Yin Yang looked at them. How ignorant were the humans! How ridiculous were their oaths! He never imagined that so many people would believe them.
Yes, it is indeed ridiculous, but if we ask ourselves honestly, Yin and Yang would also hope that it is true!
In this way, he wouldn't have to go through reincarnation with Xuan Qing'er, nor would he have to suffer alone while facing Xuan Qing'er's amnesia. Instead, he could stay with her until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, until eternity.
But if that's the case, he'll probably have to betray Gu Liyan's trust!
Yin Yang had never faced such a choice between affection and duty before!
Yin Yang stood amidst the passing crowd, listening to his own sighs. He was afraid that one day someone would force him to make a choice. He was afraid that if he made the wrong choice, he would not be able to bear the consequences, let alone get the desired result!
At this moment, he felt lost and confused, unable to find his destination.
Looking up at the Sky City in the sky, Yin Yang took a deep breath, recalling the past, and spoke with a bitter smile:
“Gu Liyan, I can’t compare to you. You can tolerate your lover forgetting you again and again, but I… can’t do it.”
—Forgive me for my cowardice; I truly lack the courage to continue fighting.
Perhaps from the moment when someone, having grown accustomed to solitude, is suddenly willing to share his joys and sorrows, and even to live and die with him, the concept of Yin and Yang gradually ceases to be the same as it once was.
This kind of loneliness is far more terrifying than the sea of death.
The Yin and Yang are incomprehensible. This shouldn't be the first time Gu Liyan has been searching for Hua Baixian's reincarnation. Why, after experiencing hardships, pain, and separation, does he still search again and again, tracing her footsteps time and time again...?
Even though it will hurt terribly, to the point that your soul trembles with pain, why choose the most painful ending?
—Our fates shouldn't be like this!
Thinking of this, Yin Yang sighed helplessly. It was a matter of love and loyalty; which side should his fate take? He truly didn't know how to choose.
Just then, a commotion arose from not far away...
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?" The young man in black, carrying an older man, arrogantly pushed aside the crowd blocking his way. However, most of the people's attention was not on him, but on the stunningly beautiful young man covered in blood in the arms of the young man in gold behind him.
Yin Yang looked over curiously, and when he saw the white-clad, blood-soaked youth in the golden-clad youth's arms, he was taken aback:
"Gu Liyan?"
At this moment, Xiaolong, who was behind Xiaohu in the crowd, frowned slightly. He really couldn't get used to being surrounded by humans, but for safety's sake, he could only swallow his anger and said to the increasingly impatient Xiaohu:
"Alright, Xiaohu, let's find a place to settle down."
Xiao Hu pouted. Compared to Xiao Long, he couldn't stand the human's gaze even more. Hearing Xiao Long speak, Xiao Hu could only suppress his anger and walk ahead.
Yin Yang stood still, his gaze fixed on Gu Liyan in Xiao Long's arms. He noticed that Gu Liyan's aura was weak at the moment, and he wanted to go forward to check on her, but he held back.
Standing there stunned for a long time, I suddenly heard a reprimand in my ear:
"Hey, you trying to block our way too?"
The voice that came from Xiaohu was questioning, and his tiger-like eyes were staring at him with a hint of ferocity.
Yin Yang glanced at Little Tiger, then at Little Dragon behind him with a gentle expression, and said nothing. Instead, he stepped aside to make way for him.
Since there was no choice, since there was no courage, since they were all incapable of fighting anymore, then...
Let's not get entangled with them!
Xiao Hu curled his lip and looked at Yin Yang with a mocking expression. "Hmph, you're smart enough to know what's good for you!"
Yin Yang watched calmly as Xiao Hu and the others walked past him.
Xiao Hu carried An Qianshan and swaggered past, while Xiao Long followed closely behind, carrying Gu Liyan. However, at the moment they passed Yin Yang, a sudden change occurred. Gu Liyan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her hand fell limply to her side, and a painful expression appeared on her pale face, which made everyone who saw it feel sorry for her.
Yin Yang immediately cried out in worry, "Gu Liyan!"
Xiao Long and Xiao Hu turned their heads at the same time, looking at Yin Yang with curiosity. Yin Yang was slightly taken aback, realizing that he had exposed his relationship with Gu Liyan. He looked at Xiao Long and Xiao Hu with an embarrassed expression and said, "You... come with me!"
Xiao Hu looked at Xiao Long questioningly, while Xiao Long gave Yin Yang a deep look, thought for a moment, and then followed Yin Yang.
——
At this moment, Xuan Qing'er sat in the courtyard with a resentful expression. "Yin Yang must be hiding something from me, but how should I tell him? Sigh..."
After thinking for a long time, I could only sigh helplessly, not knowing where to begin!
Just then, Yin Yang led Xiao Long and the others in.
"Follow me." Yin Yang led the way, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Xuan Qing'er standing helplessly in the courtyard. He then said to the people behind him, "Go into the second room, it used to be his room."
After saying that, Yin Yang walked towards Xuan Qing'er. Xiao Long didn't ask any more questions, but instead carried Gu Liyan into the room.
When Xuan Qing'er saw Yin Yang walking towards her, her gaze darted away, but she still called out softly, "Yin Yang, you're back."
Yin Yang nodded, a little embarrassed, and said, "Mm."
"Um... I just saw those people bring Gu Liyan back. Is Gu Liyan alright?" Xuan Qing'er asked, pursing her lips.
