On the day of departure to the southern border.
At the entrance of the Immortal Venerable's Mansion.
To everyone's surprise, there was one more person.
Ji Kongmeng and Zheng Nansheng looked at each other, then both lowered their heads, each lost in thought.
The scenes of our time together are still vivid in my mind. Back then, Zheng Nansheng was a gentle and powerful senior brother, and Ji Kongmeng was an obedient junior brother.
Both of them were equally admired by the public and equally unrestrained in their youth.
Now, their cultivation has been stripped away.
He was also picked up by a powerful figure and re-entered the first tier.
However, their positions are now completely different: one is a celestial cultivator, and the other is a demonic cultivator.
There was no possibility of them standing together again except to become enemies.
But today, we're actually going on a training trip together.
Zheng Nansheng was surprised that Ji Kongmeng would also come. He felt a bittersweet feeling, which was not a pleasant one.
He kept his eyes down, not looking at anyone.
Ji Kongmeng knew all about what Zheng Nansheng had gone through these past few months.
But now that he was determined to sever ties with the immortal cultivators, he didn't intend to put on any more sentimental scenes of brotherly affection with Zheng Nansheng.
Not hating him, and not associating him with that pack of wolves, was already Ji Kongmeng's biggest concession.
The atmosphere instantly turned cold when the two appeared at the same time.
Ye Wan, the warm-up act, appeared and said to Luo Lianjiang with a grin, "Handsome guy! My junior brother wants to go play too, can we come together?"
Her exclamation of "handsome guy!" instantly drew everyone's attention.
The atmosphere between Zheng Nansheng and Ji Kongmeng no longer seemed to matter much.
Xi Louxue: Why does she call Brother Luo "handsome guy"? Does she like him too? What should I do?
Fu Xiao: That's inappropriate. It's very impolite to talk like that.
Du Yu: She seems very happy.
Ji Kongmeng: Heh~, handsome guy, huh?
Zheng Nansheng broke down, and the sadness of the long-awaited reunion was instantly washed away.
With Ye Wan around, even sadness is fleeting.
Five pairs of eyes were fixed on him. Luo Lianjiang briefly calmed his racing heart and readily replied, "Of course, you're very welcome."
Ji Kongmeng tilted his head and stared at Zheng Nansheng, saying sweetly, "Brother Luo, thank you for not minding having another good-for-nothing like me."
These two are indeed from the same school; they both have the ability to turn the tide with a single sentence.
Apart from Ye Wan, everyone's eyes turned to Zheng Nansheng.
Ji Kongmeng's implication was clear: there were two useless people in this team, one was himself, and the other was Zheng Nansheng.
To hurt someone's feelings by hurting them with one's own pain.
Oh dear, this demonic cultivator's way of thinking is truly...
Zheng Nansheng never mistreated Ji Kongmeng, and Ji Kongmeng also lost his cultivation and was expelled from the sect.
In a way, the two were in the same boat.
When they were fellow disciples, they took care of him in every way.
Even brothers can't be this close.
It's really inappropriate for Ji Kongmeng to be making sarcastic remarks about Zheng Nansheng now.
With his personality so twisted, is it really okay to keep him around?
Ye Wan is more likable. Although she says some strange things, everyone knows that she has no bad intentions.
Oh, she wasn't kind-hearted either.
Zheng Nansheng wasn't angry because of Ji Kongmeng's yin-yang personality; he's never been a petty person.
When I learned the truth, I felt even more guilty towards him.
He had thought countless times that if he had stood by his intuition and dared to question Li Yueyun when he heard Li Yueyun's whistle that day, he would have chosen to go down the mountain to save Ji Kongmeng.
Or perhaps, he should have chosen to believe from the beginning that Ji Kongmeng did not harm the elderly and weak.
He should share Li Yueyun's anger with him, so that their brotherhood wouldn't have deteriorated to this point.
He didn't act recklessly, simply because Ji Kongmeng wasn't the most important person in his heart.
Because it's not the most important thing, there are concerns.
This concern led him to willingly deceive himself and choose the option that was most advantageous to him.
Although he was not the mastermind behind pushing Ji Kongmeng into the abyss, he was an accomplice in the whole process.
If he didn't remember this regret now, he would still make the same choice even if he were given a second chance at life.
There are no "what ifs" in this world. Once a mistake has been made, there's no use in regretting it.
If hatred can be easily eliminated through making amends, then it only proves that the hatred is nothing special.
Even if you reconcile, the cracks will still remain.
Ji Kongmeng's current attitude suggests that he still harbors resentment towards him.
He understood this kind of hatred, which is why he felt especially heartbroken.
Ji Kongmeng still has people he can hate, but he doesn't even know who he should hate.
Zheng Nansheng hid his pain in his heart and smiled gently, "Brother Luo, everyone has arrived. Can we set off now?"
Respectful and humble, with no intention of giving orders.
Young people have the highest aspirations, are unwilling to be subordinate to others, and dislike commanding tones.
He always manages to get things just right.
It allows one to express their own views while also making others feel comfortable.
People are only willing to listen to others when they are comfortable.
"Alright! Let's go!"
Luo Lianjiang twisted his spatial ring, and an exquisitely designed flying boat appeared out of thin air.
The glittering, flamboyant, and glamorous design perfectly suits Luo Lianjiang's temperament.
It was practically tailor-made for him.
Apart from Ye Wan, the others had all seen the flying boat before.
Although the airship was a bit too flashy, they didn't seem particularly surprised.
Ye Wan kept exclaiming in amazement, touching the exquisite patterns on the flying boat with great affection, making no attempt to hide her naivety.
Having money is great, really great.
