Chapter 24 The real murderer is him
Lizhi Yuhui and Xigua Yueguang left without saying goodbye, and they met again at Xigua Yueguang's wedding.
Xigua Yueguang invited all the friends and relatives he had ever made, and one of them was him.
At the wedding banquet, the tables and chairs were mainly made of watermelons cut in half, with the red flesh and black seeds facing upwards, serving as tabletops and stools, while the watermelon rind faced downwards, embedded in the ground, providing support.
Perhaps because the guests came from all over the world, there were many kinds of food, including apple pancakes, pineapple roast duck, blueberry peanuts, red grape fish, mulberry cauliflower, etc. It was dazzling to see everything.
The plates, bowls and chopsticks used to place food are extremely plain white, without a trace of engraved patterns.
Against the backdrop of a tabletop that blends intense red and black, this touch of white appears exceptionally fresh and refined, brightening the eyes, lifting one's mood, and stimulating one's appetite.
New people are coming.
As the pure white door opened, Lizhi Yuhui saw the two protagonists of today's theme. Their wedding dresses were exactly the same, with bright red as the main color and pure black as the secondary color, which was beautiful beyond words.
According to the custom of the Watermelon Tribe, at the wedding ceremony, the hero and heroine must hold hands and gradually step onto the platform under the watchful eyes of the crowd. This process is inevitable, which means that they will work together to live together.
On the platform, there is a large round watermelon with a radius of one meter. On both sides of the watermelon, there are two kitchen knives.
The two protagonists walked up to the platform, each holding a kitchen knife, and waved it at the big watermelon in front of them, cutting the watermelon into pieces like doing juggling.
When the big watermelon is cut into just enough pieces for ninety-nine small pieces, which means the couple's love will last forever, the wedding ceremony is officially over and everyone can do their own thing.
Lizhi Yuhui also met Xigua Yueguang's sweetheart, Xigua Taiyang.
She was not a woman with particularly outstanding appearance, but she had a sharp gaze and extraordinary temperament. Just one encounter, Lizhi Yuhui knew that this woman should not be underestimated.
Lizhi Yuhui believes that she is not like a woman who brings warmth to people like the sun, but more like a sharp knife, and Xigua Yueguang is her sheath.
Thinking of this, Lizhi Yuhui couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart:
He shouldn't have believed Xigua Yueguang's description of his sweetheart. How many layers of filters did he add?
How could this woman be as warm as the sun? Apart from her name, he couldn't see any resemblance to the sun.
"Lychee regrets."
Just as his mind was full of thoughts, the voice of Hamigua Hehuai came to his ears.
Hamigua Henhuai smiled faintly at him. "Or should I change the subject to the most powerful and youngest top assassin in the history of Chiguo Pavilion, 'Shabi'?"
"It's 'Wall Kill'! There's a barrier to strength, killing people invisibly. Hamiguahenhuai, you must have called it wrong on purpose."
Hamigua Henhuai feigned surprise, his eyes filled with sincerity:
"How could that be? I really don't know."
Lizhi Yuhui snorted coldly. If he believed it, then his name could be written upside down.
The atmosphere between the two was exceptionally silent, in stark contrast to the noise around them.
After a long while, Hamigua Henhuai was the first to speak: "Are you coming back?"
Lizhi Yuhui did not give a direct answer.
Hamigua Henhuai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this. It seemed that he had no intention of returning to them.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you still angry?"
Lizhi Yuhui shook her head, thought for a moment, and gave him an answer:
"When I tried to make my own way, I realized that I had always been under your protection. Although life seemed to be full of ups and downs, it was actually all within your control."
Hearing this, Hamiguahenhuai frowned, misunderstood:
"Do you think Xigua Yueguang and I are restricting your freedom?"
Lizhi Yuhui quickly retorted: "Of course not!"
"What is that?"
Lizhi Yuhui turned around, looked directly at Hamigua Hehuai, and said seriously:
"I just feel that I need more time to be independent. My martial arts skills are no worse than yours and Xigua Yueguang's, but my knowledge and perspective are completely inferior to yours."
Hamigua Henhuai was puzzled. "Wouldn't it be possible to expand your horizons and knowledge more quickly by following us?"
Lizhi Yuhui shook her head and said, "The five years I've spent with you have been enough to make me grow. But it also makes me realize that I'm still lacking something."
"What?"
“A way of thinking that is unique to me.”
Lizhi Yuhui turned his gaze away, looked into the unknown distance, and said slowly:
"If I had always been with you guys, my way of thinking would have been completely the same as yours and Xigua Yueguang's, without forming my own way of thinking.
If this continues, I will drift further and further away from you as time goes by, until my steps can no longer keep up with you.
I need to be exposed to more different new perspectives and understand other people's thinking patterns. Under the impact of a large number of different ways of thinking, I gradually formed my own unique thinking pattern.
Only by repeatedly breaking myself down and reshaping myself in this way can I be qualified to fight alongside you all."
Hamiguahenhuai frowned. He disagreed with Lizhiyuhui's opinion. He said, "We are friends, friends for life and death! We don't need any qualifications to be friends."
"I need it."
Litchi Yuhui retorted, his tone filled with a paranoia that Hamigua Henhuai could not understand at all:
"If a friendship cannot maintain its level within a consistent range and the gap is too large, then no matter how deep and unforgettable the relationship is, it will inevitably go astray."
Hamigua Henhuai was furious. He couldn't control his temper for once. He yelled:
"Are you crazy?! You are so stubborn!"
Lizhi Yu regretted it no less, and said coldly:
"I'm not crazy. I'm sane."
Hamigua Hehuai wanted to say more when he suddenly felt a force of gravity on his left shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Xigua Yueguang's hand, pressing tightly on his shoulder.
Only then did he notice that because the quarrel between him and Lizhi Yuhui was too loud, all the guests' attention was attracted by them. Everyone looked curious and looked forward to hearing more.
Hamigua Hehuai shut up instantly and said no more.
"Let him go. He will figure it out one day."
Xigua Yueguang looked at Hamigua Henhuai with a gentle smile and spoke softly.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lizhi Yuhui again and said softly:
"If you want to leave, we won't stop you. But I hope you always remember that no matter what happens, you're always welcome back."
Hearing this, Lizhi Yuhui felt warm in his heart, nodded, then looked around and said:
"Happy wedding to you."
"Thank you very much."
After blurting out what he wanted to say most, Lizhi Yuhui didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.
Many years later, Lizhi Yuhui still regretted that if he had listened to Hamigua Henhuai and stayed with them, would the ending be different?
After the farewell at the wedding, Lizhi Yuhui never thought that it would be his final farewell to Xigua Yueguang.
When he heard news about Xigua Yueguang again, it was the news that the Xigua tribe had been destroyed.
And the organization that destroyed the Watermelon Clan was actually the organization he belonged to.
This news surprised him.
He didn't understand. He was clearly in Chiguo Pavilion, so why had he never known that Chiguo Pavilion was planning to destroy the Watermelon Clan?
Moreover, the Watermelon Clan was renowned for its power. How could a mere Chiguo Pavilion possibly defeat the feared and powerful Watermelon Clan that had stood firm for so many years?!
Could it be...
Lizhi Yuhui suddenly had an idea and began to search his entire body.
No, absolutely not!
No, maybe he put it somewhere else.
Lizhi Yuhui strode towards the closet with shaky steps and began to search desperately. The dazzling array of clothes completely covered the floor, but he still couldn't find what he was looking for.
Where? Where on earth?!
He turned almost his entire room upside down, even prying up the floors one by one, as if he wanted to dismantle the room he lived in.
Time passed by little by little. Although he was a martial arts master, at this moment, Lizhi Yuhui was kneeling on the ground with weak legs and lifeless eyes.
Back then, Hamigua Henhuai seemed to have destroyed all the notebooks he had written, but in fact, Litchi Yuhui had secretly left one for himself and did not hand it in, and had kept it privately.
That was the first book written by Lizhi Yuhui. Although the writing style was immature and the handwriting was sloppy, it was full of his emotions.
There has always been a little secret in Lizhi Yuhui's heart.
During the time he spent with Xigua Yueguang, his curiosity about Xigua Yueguang gradually turned into admiration, and later from admiration to adoration.
Especially against the strong backdrop of Hami melon, the watermelon is even more dazzling than the sun.
Because of this implicit admiration, Lizhi Yuhui's first creation was entirely based on his observation and analysis of Xigua Yueguang. As a result, he also wrote down the characteristics and possible racial weaknesses of the Xigua people in the book.
He always kept this notebook carefully on his body. Whenever he missed Xigua Yueguang and Hamigua Henhuai, he would take it out and look at it, thinking of them.
But now, his notebook is missing.
The notebook disappeared in Chiguo Pavilion.
He almost never left Chiguo Pavilion, so it was impossible for such important information as the expedition against the Watermelon Clan to pass him by.
There was only one truth: Chiguo Pavilion had concealed from him the fact that they were planning to attack the Watermelon Clan.
He always carried the notebook with him, so it was impossible that he lost it accidentally. Considering that the Watermelon Clan was so powerful, they were all wiped out overnight.
The conclusion is obvious enough:
Chi Guoge stole his research results on the Watermelon Clan from him, and without his knowledge, took ruthless action against the Watermelon Clan.
As he began to figure out the truth of the matter, Lizhi Yuhui's heart began to ache violently, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He fell into deep regret and self-blame.
In an instant, he finally figured it out.
Why did Hamigua Hehuai choose to disregard their years of friendship, completely anger him, destroy all his five years of research, and warn him not to write again?
The demise of the Watermelon Clan seemed to be the work of Chiguo Pavilion, but the real murderer who caused the demise of the Watermelon Clan was...
It’s him, Lizhi Yuhui!
