Chapter 1118 Don’t Leave Me Again
Feng's mother and the others nodded in deep agreement. Having been in the business world for many years and having seen many big scenes, these elders clearly thought more deeply than Gao Min.
Everything has its gains and losses; sometimes, sacrifice is necessary for a better outcome.
Especially given that so many lives are involved, it's unfair to call them cowardly, selfish, cold-blooded, or incompetent.
On the contrary, it is precisely because they are so selfless and responsible that they are more mindful of the overall situation.
Unlike those who hide behind the scenes and spout empty rhetoric online, they are willing to sacrifice themselves without hesitation if necessary. This is a kind of perseverance and an extraordinary sense of responsibility.
That is why they chose to clarify the situation instead of concealing it or letting it go, which surprised them even more.
In fact, not only Feng's mother, but Ye Wanxi was also very surprised when she found out about this.
"Weren't these things kept secret before? Why were they all suddenly made public?"
Feng Tianyu didn't see anything wrong with it: "We didn't make it public before because we were afraid of causing panic and being exploited by those with ulterior motives. Now, what could be more frightening than Wu Yequan?"
Even without Wu Yequan, there are plenty of illogical and unscientific things that have happened since the spiritual energy revival, so a few more won't make a difference.
In fact, making these things public can better reassure ordinary people, letting them know that even if the sky falls, there are still powerful people who can protect them, so there is no need to panic.
However, even those in higher positions probably didn't expect that the opportunity to finally make these things public would come now.
Ye Wanxi pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed as she looked at the online praise that lauded her as a hero.
"Actually, I only mentioned the North City incident casually back then; I didn't even give them a definite answer. They found the place themselves and came up with their own methods to evacuate people before the natural disaster. Those people are the real heroes..."
She was just an insignificant part of this whole affair, and now this situation made her feel like she was stealing the credit from others.
Feng Tianyu saw through her thoughts at a glance and chuckled, "That's what they say, but if you hadn't casually mentioned it, no one would have noticed it at all. How could they take something they wouldn't notice seriously, let alone try to find a solution and turn it into reality? Their contributions cannot be denied, but yours are equally undeniable. Otherwise, those heavenly tribulation lightning bolts wouldn't have struck you, but someone else."
It would have been better if Feng Tianyu hadn't mentioned this, but as soon as he did, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.
Even back when she was struck by lightning, she was too embarrassed to admit that she had been struck by lightning. The fact that they let her off so easily made her, the person directly involved, feel uncomfortable and seriously suspect that she might have accidentally used connections.
"Whatever your initial intention in doing these things, at least the results are good. Sowing good seeds will reap good fruit; it is only natural."
Ye Wanxi's eyes brightened slightly. Yes, sow good seeds and reap good fruit. No matter what the initial intention was, as long as the result is good, that's enough.
She just didn't expect that the good deeds that happened so long ago would continue to this day.
The result was unexpected yet reasonable. After calming down and thinking about it, Ye Wanxi could roughly guess that Xiao Baihui must have played a significant role in this matter.
If I hadn't acted out of momentary pity and risked divine retribution by revealing a secret to Xiao Baihui, perhaps they wouldn't have had so much interaction.
The things she does afterward won't go smoothly, and the good deeds she reaps won't be as plentiful as they are now, so much so that it's unbearable to sacrifice her to appease the conscience of a heinous person.
Thinking of this, Ye Wanxi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "They have done everything they can to make things turn out well, and we also have to do our part."
Feng Tianyu nodded, then, as if he had thought of something, looked down into Ye Wanxi's eyes and said, "Before that, you have to promise me that you won't do anything foolish."
Ye Wanxi was slightly taken aback, realizing that Feng Tianyu was referring to the desperate act of sacrificing herself to the formation in her previous life.
If forced to do it, Ye Wanxi would definitely do it without hesitation if it were useful, but...
"The reason we succeeded back then was because Wu Yequan didn't expect us to choose such a drastic way to break the formation, and he also didn't expect that I had a subtle blood relationship with him. Given his personality, he wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Now that he has re-set up this Heaven-Slaying Formation, he must have a way to prevent us from using the same trick again. I'm not that stupid."
Although that's what he said, Feng Tianyu didn't completely believe it. He stared at Ye Wanxi for a long time before finally saying, "It's best not to do it, but if we really have no other choice..."
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly as she looked up at him in surprise.
"Take me with you, don't abandon me again."
Ye Wanxi's heart felt as if it had been pierced by something, a little painful yet a little hot, making one unconsciously sink into it.
"……good."
The two embraced each other face to face, neither speaking, enjoying the final moments of tranquility.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wanxi suddenly looked up and glanced at the distance.
Feng Tianyu noticed her unusual behavior and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"
"When you saw Miss Shen, did she look alright?"
Feng Tianyu was taken aback, not expecting Ye Wanxi to ask this question at this moment.
“She… wasn’t doing very well.” Feng Tianyu organized his thoughts. “When I met her, she was already in her fifties.”
Shen Yunniang was not a cultivator; in her fifties, she was considered old for an ordinary person in ancient times.
Therefore, even though she was raised in the most magnificent place in the world, living a life of luxury and taking good care of herself, she still showed signs of aging.
Not to mention, her childhood experiences almost ruined her life. It's a miracle she didn't die young and was fortunate enough to survive.
"She appears aloof and distant, and is very guarded. She can't fully trust even those who have been by her side for a long time. The third brother's uncle once said that he has rarely seen her smile since he saved Miss Shen."
"She rarely smiles, but it's not that she never smiles." Ye Wanxi turned to look at the portrait of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall not far away.
Jun Wuduan said that this picture was drawn by his cousin after Shen Yunniang died.
Before Shen Yunniang died, he didn't even dare to reveal his feelings in the slightest, and he didn't even dare to draw a picture casually.
Only after her death did he dare to indulge himself and leave this painting to be buried with him.
When Feng Tianyu met Shen Yunniang, she was already in her fifties, and she would only be older when she died, but in this painting, she is only in her early twenties.
Perhaps, in Jun Wuduan's uncle's heart, she will always be the gentle woman he fell in love with at first sight.
But what Ye Wanxi cared about more was what situation she was in, or what she remembered, that made her laugh so happily, since she had long forgotten how to laugh because of her past experiences.
