"Of course it is good."
Xiang Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly, "I can see that he has high hopes for you."
"High hopes?"
Wang Tuo smiled bitterly, "In his eyes, there is only this Monster King Valley. I am just a tool in his hands to maintain the survival of the Monster King Valley. All good things are built on this foundation.
If one day, the Demon King Valley faces a life-or-death situation, he will choose to sacrifice me without hesitation! "
The old village chief in the dark no longer had a smile on his face, and his old face was covered with wrinkles. How could this silly boy think so?
Xiang Sheng frowned: "Why do you say that?"
Wang Tuo clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Because that's how my parents died."
The old village chief's pupils shrank slightly. These words were like a knife stabbing into his chest, making him even more hunched.
Xiang Sheng was slightly shocked. "Did the old village chief tell you that in person?"
"Of course not."
Wang Tuo sneered: "How could he have spoken out about such a shameful thing? I went to the place where my parents disappeared and saw images left behind."
Xiang Sheng was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, "You should discuss this matter with the old village chief face to face. The old footage is indeed good, but it's possible that it was only partially taken out of context.
From your personality and behavior, I can tell that the old village chief protected you very well. But blood carries not only family affection, but also responsibility, doesn't it?"
Wang Tuo's body stiffened slightly, "Bloodline... responsibility..."
He covered his ears and didn't want to listen to what Xiang Sheng said anymore, but his reason told him that every word Xiang Sheng said made sense.
He never thought he was wrong, but now, he was shaken.
Xiang Sheng looked at his appearance and sat down aside without disturbing him.
What her family said might not be correct, but since Wang Tuo listened to it, it meant there was still hope. Some things could only be figured out by oneself.
Xiang Sheng waited for a long time, until the tea had gone cold and it was dark, and then Wang Tuo slowly turned around.
He took a deep breath, stared at Xiang Sheng, and slowly said, "Xiang Sheng, do you... hate the demon race?"
"The monks often say that demons are the embodiment of evil and must be killed by anyone."
Xiang Sheng looked at Wang Tuo's pale face and smiled sweetly, "But in my opinion, whether it's a demon or a human, they all have good and evil. There's not much difference."
At this point, Xiang Sheng's eyes flickered with nostalgia. "I once had a tree demon friend. I called him Big Wood. Unfortunately, we haven't seen each other for a long, long time."
Wang Tuo's heart seemed to be injected with strength, and his dark eyes lit up again, "Shengmei, do you really think so?"
Xiang Sheng reached out and patted Wang Tuo, saying firmly: "Even if you are the Demon King, you are still my big brother!"
The first ray of moonlight shone from the sky, illuminating the ground with a silvery white.
Wang Tuo's heart also brightened, tears welled up in his eyes as he laughed heartily: "Of course!"
…
After this in-depth conversation, Wang Tuo did not appear for a long time. He only occasionally asked Wang Yue'er to bring a message, saying that he was busy with important matters in the clan and could not get away.
Xiang Sheng felt puzzled and could not get any specific information, so he could only ask Jian Fengzi indirectly when he met him every day. However, Jian Fengzi always pretended not to understand, so after a while, he had to give up.
In a blink of an eye, three months passed.
During these three months, Wang Tuo came once, and his aura was much stronger than before, so Xiang Sheng felt relieved and focused on his own cultivation.
She must master the Four Extremes Ban to deal with the unknown in Ghost Gorge.
The fourth month, a certain day.
Xiang Sheng sat cross-legged beside her subordinates, and made hand seals with her hands, leaving afterimages. Golden restriction patterns shuttled through her fingers and entwined with each other, eventually forming a huge forbidden character that disappeared into the void.
This secret space and time was immediately locked and suppressed, and could no longer be broken open by force.
“Pah pah pah——”
Crazy Swordsman clapped his hands and walked over, looking at Xiang Sheng with admiration in his eyes. "You've already reached the highest level in the Four Extremes Forbidden Path. I have nothing to teach you. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come here anymore."
Xiang Sheng stood up and solemnly performed a disciple's salute: "Thank you very much for your careful instruction during this period of time."
“Not attentive.”
Crazy Sword shook his head and smiled: "I'm only giving you a hand for our old friend's sake. This little bit of skill alone isn't enough to get you through the Ghost Gorge."
Xiang Sheng's eyes flickered slightly: "Junior understands."
"I understand."
Crazy Sword placed the pot of wine he had brought with him on the stone table. "Drink a few sips with me, and I'll treat it as my fulfillment of my wish for you in advance."
Xiang Sheng sat down as he said and drank and chatted.
In the past four months, she has told almost everything she knows about the outside world, but Crazy Sword never seems to get tired of listening. He always wants to listen to the stories about the ancient city over and over again. It seems that as long as he listens, he can go back to the past and still have some connection with his old friends.
Xiang Sheng was saying the old saying, but he was thinking in his heart.
Some of the words involved secrets, and with her cautious nature, she naturally did not tell Sword Crazy. But after spending some time with him, she also figured out Sword Crazy's temperament. In ancient times, he would be considered an upright swordsman.
Some mysteries may be solved from his mouth.
Thinking this way, after three rounds of drinks, Xiang Sheng pondered for a moment and said tentatively: "Senior, I saw a person in the ancient city. I wonder if you recognize him."
