"You don't know how happy I was when I found my first storage bag... Those things could have fed and warmed many ordinary Gui people... But I didn't even have the ability to protect them. That time, I thought... I was going to be completely buried in that strange land, but Senior Sister... you saved me. Watching you... killing the enemy so cleanly and efficiently, the moment I saw you... I felt it."
The dampness and heat in the neck became more and more obvious.
"You... are the first outsider cultivator I've ever met, the first person to save me, the first person to have any kindness towards me... I'm grateful for Heaven's mercy on me, and on the Gui Clan. At that moment, my original fear and timidity suddenly lessened, and I wasn't even afraid of death anymore, because... in this world, besides the Gui Clan, there are other human races, and other Confucian cultivators..."
Shen Qingyi's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
"Si Qing, you..."
"Senior Sister, Si Qing is useless. He can neither protect you when you are in danger, nor lend a hand to Master when he needs help. Senior Sister and Master have always been my pride... I like to see others talk about you with admiration and excitement, and I like to hear them praise Master and Sister..."
Even if he lives a transparent life, perhaps not many people remember his existence.
"Senior Sister...I want to cultivate magic..."
Shen Qing suddenly stood still, his hands suddenly clenched.
"Si Qing... do you know what you are saying?"
Shen Qingyi’s sudden serious tone made Si Qing sniff.
"Sister, I know what I'm doing. I also understand my choice at this moment. There has never been a clearer moment than this. I want to cultivate magic."
Shen Qing gritted his teeth.
No one knew better than her and Huo Shen the persistence in Si Qing's pursuit of the righteous path of Confucianism.
Even in a place like the Meteorite Flame Realm, even though there was infected gas in his body, he still persisted.
But now, he said he wanted to cultivate magic and give up what he had been holding on to for so long?!
"Okay, we'll be out soon. This matter..."
Si Qing broke free from Chen Qingyi, and Chen Qingyi had no choice but to let him down for fear of aggravating his injuries.
"Senior Sister, I want to cultivate magic."
Si Qing's eyes were firm, firmer than ever.
"I... have no destiny for the Great Dao, nor can I save innocent beings. Now... this place is treacherous, and I don't even have the ability to protect myself. Only by cultivating the devil... can I become stronger... and escape alive. Senior Sister, I know my own body well. If I continue to persist, I will only die..."
Shen Qingyi clenched his fists.
"I can protect you with strange fire..."
"Sister, it's not easy for us to get to this point. I can't stand by and watch you continue to divert your strength for me. The road ahead is dangerous, and I can't become a burden to you."
"You have never been a burden to me."
Si Qing gently hugged Shen Qingyi.
"Sister, I want to survive. You guys go ahead. I'll be waiting here. Once the passage to the Giant Pillar Abyss is opened, you'll come and take me home."
Master Yi looked at Si Qing, opened his mouth, and his eyes were complicated.
Pull Shen Qingyi.
"Qingyi, it might be... safest for him to stay here. If he goes any further, he won't be able to withstand the sinking energy there. Once the passage is opened and the sinking energy around him dissipates, we will... come and pick him up."
Shen Qingyi looked up at Si Qing and grabbed his shoulders.
"Trust me, Senior Sister. These things will protect you from the effects of the gas here for a while. Just wait here for me."
The split fire of the strange fire swayed in Shen Qingyi's hand. Si Qing wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Shen Qingyi.
"I've said before, you've never been a burden to me. I strive to move forward, not just for the so-called righteousness and love, but also to protect those I love and those who love me. Even without this branch of strange fire, I can still break out of this world!"
Si Qing choked and nodded.
"I believe in you, Senior Sister. I've always believed... you will succeed..."
“Boom!”
There was another earth-shaking tremor, and the energy around began to become unstable.
Wen Yinghan seemed to sense something and his expression suddenly became serious.
"The surrounding space is a little unstable... Maybe... something happened outside!"
Several people thought of something, and Luochen looked at the two of them.
"We are running out of time. We need to enter the Giant Pillar Abyss!"
Si Qing took a step back.
"Senior Sister, go ahead."
Shen Qingyi felt a little uneasy, but the situation was pressing.
"Si Qing, remember my words. If we see the passage open, we can go home!"
Si Qing nodded slightly.
"I remember."
Shen Qing gritted his teeth and set foot on the road leading to the abyss of the giant pillar.
Worry looked back and saw Si Qing giving her a bright smile.
Watching Chen Qingyi and his group walking further and further away, the scene in front of them suddenly became a little blurry, and Si Qing hurriedly wiped away the tears in his eyes.
I'm sorry... Senior Sister, I lied to you.
Due to the energy riot in the abyss, countless residual souls tried to rush upwards.
The noisy wailing made Si Qing close his eyes.
Perhaps all this was already destined, but this is not fate, it is his choice.
Fengshan, the place that changed everything.
In the Memory River world, he saw it!
The world is changing drastically, and they cannot avoid this catastrophe.
The cause and effect of many years ago have accumulated layer by layer and have long been a tangled mess.
The sky, the earth, the mountains, the rivers, and the grass were all covered in blood red.
