In the flames, an icy blue light of water was seen.
The imaginary shield and the heavily made-up woman standing inside it reached out to them and shouted in a commanding tone, "Come here!"
Chu Shangli didn't want to fall behind Chu Moyin, so the two of them held the woman's hands at the same time and were pulled into the shield at the same time -
"You're being reckless," the woman said in a blaming tone. "No one told you there were any treasures inside. You rushed in with the fire burning from within—even though Tianhe just said that, I don't agree—"
She paused, then continued, "I believe that no matter what kind of treasure it is, it cannot compare to life. Given enough time, after accumulation, it will become a new treasure - but when life disappears, nothing can replace it. Even reincarnation and rebirth are the only miracle that cannot be replaced..."
“…”
"So, stop trying to save him and leave here as soon as possible." The woman smiled faintly. "As for me, I still want to see you defeat my child in front of everyone."
"You're really strange—" Chu Shangli said softly, "Don't you think that if I defeat Young Master Gongyi, the Gongyi family will be embarrassed?"
"What kind of person would have such an idea..." she said slowly. "The idea that only the Gongyi family can achieve first place is completely incorrect. In fact, I have also achieved many encouraging results in martial arts competitions, but I am not born into the Gongyi family - nor are my disciples. Besides, if you can't meet an opponent, you can't break through - only a strong enemy can truly enable a person to break through. Tianhe... Although I have never seen the same scenery as him, I understand very well that no matter how invincible he is now, it can't change the fact that he is actually stuck in a bottleneck period - if he can't be defeated again, he won't even know how to become stronger..."
She paused and placed her hand on Chu Shangli's shoulder. "While there's no one else here and no one else can hear what we're saying, I beg you—please defeat Gongyi Tianhe—you must defeat the future young master of the Gongyi family."
"That's a bit too strange." Chu Moyin gently interrupted: "It's not like there's no one else here. Am I not standing here now?"
"Indeed—but, I don't think you can't listen to what I asked Xiao Dongxia—after all, you were more decisive than me in entering the fire. Tianhe might have been doing it out of duty as the future head of the family, while Shuiqing was doing it out of duty as the head of the family. My being able to step into it, no matter how I explain it, can't change a certain understanding—that is, I didn't rush in of my own free will, I only rushed in to protect them—"
"But..." Chu Moyin showed a half-smile: "That's not the whole truth, is it?"
“…”
"I know—though no one has told me, this is the result of my observation—that the reason you protect Gongyi Tianhe and Gongyi Shuiqing is certainly because of kinship and blood ties, but more importantly, you can no longer find anything you must protect beyond the obligations imposed on you by the outside world. However—you want to protect Dongxia with your own will—"
Chu Moyin gently placed her hand on Chu Shangli's head: "Because, in your eyes, she is undoubtedly an irreplaceable miracle..."
