Chapter 27 You Met a Group of Good Friends
Zhuidao jumped down from the overpass, and Zhuidu quickly stretched out his hands to catch him to prevent Zhuidao from falling and getting hurt.
After catching Zhuidao, Zhuidu held Zhuidao in both hands, sat on the ground, and told him about his experiences over the years.
Zhuidao listened patiently most of the time, and only occasionally raised questions or inquired about details once or twice.
Rather than listening to Zhui Du's past, it focused more on Zhui Du's facial expressions, observing every reaction on his face when Zhui Du described the process of events.
After its death, even though Zhui Du tried his best to beautify those painful experiences, Zhui Dao still tasted the pain in it.
A heart-wrenching pain emanated from the bottom of his heart. Zhui Dao felt particularly distressed for the pain Zhui Du had suffered.
Fortunately, in the later part, it noticed that when Zhui Du talked about the start of this year's Jiucai Kingdom Martial Arts Competition, Zhui Du's eyes were shining.
Time passed quickly, and when Zhui Du talked about how he successfully entered the Insect Sacrifice Tower and met Zhui Dao, he completely relaxed.
"This has been my experience for the past ten years, Chasing Dao, and I've been doing pretty well."
Even if you are not around, I can still live well on my own.
Zhui Dao stared at Zhui Du with burning eyes and simply said "hmm" in response.
"I know that during the time I was away, you made a lot of new friends who share the same interests and abilities as you, right?"
Zhui Du was stunned and subconsciously read two words: "Friend?"
"Yes. Friends, you like them very much. They warmed your long and cold ten years, especially the human named Mo Youli. You cherish your friendship with him the most."
Zhui Dao said affirmatively.
"I..." Zhui Du's eyes were filled with surprise, his brain was a little out of control, and he could only unconsciously continue to repeat:
"Do you cherish your friendship with Mo Youli and the others?"
"Yes." A gentle gaze stared at Zhui Du quietly. Zhui Du reported the names it heard one by one and said:
"Mo Youli, Liu Roulei, Xu Ren'er, Tang Qiuyue, Tang Beiju, Shangguan Jieshu, Shangguan Shujie, Nie Erfeng, Nie Mufeng.
When you mention these people's names, your eyes become especially gentle and kind.
In the past, there was an lingering gloom between your eyebrows and eyes. Even with me and your master around, you still felt lonely in your heart.
Because, in fact, you still long for the emergence of a peer who is equally talented and can understand you, and you hope to have such a person to walk with you.
However, the world of the Wuya tribe is too small, and the tribe cannot provide you with the kind of friendship among peers that you desire.
And now, not only do you have people who understand you, but there is more than just one.
Now, the gloom between your eyebrows and eyes has almost dissipated."
Having said this, Zhui Dao paused for a moment, a smile spreading from the corner of his mouth, and then he continued:
"Crybaby, I'm really happy for you. You've made some great friends."
It has always been worried that after it died, the crybaby would become lonely again. That feeling is too painful, and it doesn't want the crybaby to experience such a life.
Fortunately, the crybaby made his own friends and he could finally rest assured.
Zhui Dao's words stirred up a wave in Zhui Du's heart. He smiled and said softly:
"Yes, Zhui Dao, I've made some great friends. But don't worry, no matter what, you will always occupy the most important position in my heart, and that's unshakable."
Zhui Du's words did not make Zhui Dao feel relieved. He shook his head and refused:
"That's not right. Crybaby, the most important place in your heart shouldn't be reserved for me, but for those living beings in this world.
I don't want to leave such an important place in your heart, and you shouldn't stop for me.
You have to move on, crybaby...
I just need you to remember me, a little bug. That's enough. If you can leave a little space in your heart for me to move around, I will be very happy.
Having more positions and more responsibilities will only make me feel more burdened. Crybaby, after all, I am no longer in your world...
Those extra spaces may be used by people or things that are more important to you in your future life, and that is the place you should reserve for them."
Zhui Dao said this with extraordinary sincerity.
——
When Zhui Du came out of the Insect Sacrifice Tower, everyone clearly felt that Zhui Du seemed a little different.
The person was still the same person, and the aura was still the same, but inexplicably, he seemed to have completely relaxed and opened up, and the little bit of depression that remained between his brows had completely dissipated.
This is a feeling that is hard to describe. It is as if all the difficult points in his life have suddenly become clear, and he is unwilling to worry about them anymore.
"Drug chase, shall we go back?"
When Zhui Du walked to Mo Youli's side, Mo Youli asked.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask too much about what Zhui Du said in the Insect Sacrifice Tower.
If Zhui Du wants to speak, they are willing to listen carefully. If Zhui Du does not want to speak, they will also respect Zhui Du's personal wishes.
"We've accomplished our goal this time. What are we still doing here?" Tang Beiju frowned and urged, "Let's go back quickly!"
He could hardly bear it any longer. He wanted to rush back to the inn immediately, take a shower, change his clothes, and transform from the dirty Tang Beiju into the fragrant Tang Beiju.
"Let's go! Look at the eyes of those people around us, they all say get out of here quickly. We are their uninvited guests, there's no point in staying!"
Nie Erfeng glanced at the group of people from the Wuya tribe around him and directly told everyone else's inner thoughts.
"Let's wait a little longer." Mo Youli glanced at Zhui Du. Being a sharp-minded man, he quickly noticed that Zhui Du was still a little hesitant, so he immediately said.
"What are you waiting for? Aren't all the things dealt with?" Tang Beiju couldn't help but wonder when he heard that he still had to wait.
"Nai...Zhuidu, wait a minute!" Li Huozi rushed forward and attacked Zhuidu directly, while shouting:
"Zhuidu, don't even think about leaving! We still have an old score to settle, don't even think about just walking away!"
This sudden attack was completely unexpected by everyone present. Even the Wuya tribe themselves could not understand the purpose of Li Huozi's actions.
Seeing that Li Huozi was unreasonable and attacked directly, the others were dissatisfied. Just as they were about to go up to help, Mo Youli stopped them.
"Just let them go! Zhuidu will come back safe and sound."
"Chief, I'm going to teach that brat Huo Zi a lesson right now. He's completely lawless and doesn't even take us seriously. It's all my fault for spoiling this evil disciple too much!"
When Master Li Huozi saw Li Huozi's actions, he was filled with anger and spoke angrily to the leader of the Wuya tribe.
Hearing this, the chief of the Wuya tribe looked at Li Huozi's master speechlessly, as if he had seen through his little thoughts.
Under Master Li Huozi's feigned vicious gaze, he closed his left eye, opened his right eye, waved his hand, and said:
"Go ahead! Make the lesson last as long as possible, otherwise you won't learn much."
——
Li Huozi and his master besieged Zhui Du together. Zhui Du could not resist and retreated one after another. Under the relentless pressure of the master and apprentice, Zhui Du was led to a sparsely populated area.
Seeing that there was no one around, the master and disciple immediately stopped.
"Master, please go ahead. I want to have a word or two with Zhui Du. I'll take him to see Master Ximen later."
Li Huozi said to his master.
The master looked at Li Huozi meaningfully, said nothing, and followed Li Huozi's request to go ahead.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhui Du knew that these two people had no ill intentions. Their moves seemed to be lethal, but they always managed to avoid the key parts just right.
After thinking about it, Zhui Du had a rough guess in his mind, so he went with the flow and cooperated with the two of them to get away from the crowd.
"Don't you want to see your master? Now that you're here and have seen the deceased insects, shouldn't you also meet the living ones?"
After saying this, Li Huozi pointed in a direction and walked straight in that direction, letting Zhui Du look at his back, and said:
"My master means that whether you like it or not, he has to make you go see Uncle Ximen. After all, Uncle Ximen is his most beloved friend, and he is very concerned about Uncle Ximen's mental state.
But I won't force you. If you go to see Master Ximen unwillingly, it will only make him more sad.
If that is the case, I would rather bear all of Master's wrath and apologize to Master Ximen than force you to see him."
Li Huozi really did what he said. He really didn't look back at all. He just walked forward at a normal speed, leaving Zhuidu some time to think.
Zhui Du, after a heart-to-heart talk with Zhui Dao, had obviously let go of many things. He didn't even hesitate and directly followed Li Huozi's steps.
When Li Huozi heard the rustling sound of footsteps behind him, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up and a satisfied smile flashed across his eyes.
"Zhuidu, how do you understand the word genius?"
There was still some distance on the road, so Li Huozi simply started a conversation with Zhui Du.
Out of gratitude for Master Li Huozi's assistance in meeting his master, Zhui Du decided to be patient and sincere, and honestly expressed his thoughts:
"You can be very capable and excellent, but if the people around you are all out of sync with you and you can't resonate with them, you'll easily feel lonely and feel that being at the top is lonely."
"Is that your answer?"
"right."
With his back to Zhui Du, Zhui Du could not see Li Huozi's expression. He could only move the back of Li Huozi's head up and down, and guessed that Li Huozi should be walking while looking up at the sky and watching the clouds.
Li Huozi did not judge whether the answer to the drug chase was right or wrong, but slowly expressed some of the insights he had gained over the years:
"Zhuidu, you and I grew up together since we were young, so I know better than anyone how powerful your talent is. You are a well-deserved genius of the Wuya tribe.
And because I am the only one of your age who often hangs out with you, I am forced to be compared with you for a long time. My talents, in the light of yours, seem increasingly insignificant.
For a long time, I couldn't figure it out and felt very painful. Why, I'm not a genius like you..."
