"Heh, so can you guarantee that after she's resurrected, she'll live happily instead of being immersed in pain every day? Have you thought about your parents? Have you thought about your relatives and friends?"
"Some of them gave you selfless love, some placed high hopes on you, and some treated you as a lifelong friend. Can you really do that?" The old man's face contorted and his voice became hoarse as he spoke.
Sui Xin was taken aback upon hearing this, thinking of Ye Hao and Lu Yeling, her two masters, and Brother Tie, before letting out a bitter laugh: "...But do I have a choice?"
"Yes, do I have a choice?" the old man said, looking at the sky, as if asking Suixin or himself.
Let me tell you a story.
"Long ago, there was a human cultivator named Li Xian, of mediocre talent, who thought he would never achieve anything great in his life, until he met the girl who would change his life."
The girl's name was Lin Xi. She came from a wealthy family and was exceptionally intelligent. Both she and Lin Xi belonged to the same sect, and during a sect mission, they were fortunate enough to be assigned to the same group.
Li Xian stared blankly at the beautiful woman before him, but quickly composed himself in the next second. He knew that such a privileged woman was not on the same path as him.
Lin Xi was very lively and enthusiastic towards Li Xian, so the two got along very well on their mission. However, it was precisely this pleasantness that caused Li Xian immense suffering.
He wanted to express his feelings, but he was afraid that the other person would reject him and they wouldn't even be able to remain friends.
So he didn't say it until the mission was over.
Later, the two returned to their sect. Without the constraints of missions, they rarely interacted. Li Xian, unwilling to be unworthy of Lin Xi, began cultivating day and night.
Three years passed, and Li Xian seemed to have unlocked his full potential, his cultivation speed advancing by leaps and bounds, surpassing all the geniuses in the sect and becoming a true prodigy. Yet, he still dared not express his love to Lin Xi.
During a large-scale demon-slaying mission, the two were ordered to eliminate a demon stronghold. However, the intelligence was wrong, and the demon leader of the stronghold was far more powerful than they had imagined. The two were no match for him and were eventually captured.
The demon leader looked at the two people in front of him and said to Lin Xi, "Plant the demon seed and join my demon clan, and Li Xian will live. Are you willing?"
Lin Xi agreed. Before planting the demonic seed, she turned to Li Xian and smiled, saying, "I have always loved that tenacious Senior Brother Li."
Li Xian was stunned. The happiest thing is that the person you love also loves you, but the saddest thing is that the happiest thing is just a fleeting moment without a future.
And so, Lin Xi became a demon, and the demons, contrary to their usual practice, kept their promise and released Li Xian.
Another decade passed, and the demon race launched a massive attack on the sect.
At that time, Lin Xi had become a ruthless leader of demons, while Li Xian had become a sect elder.
On the battlefield, the two met again. Lin Xi no longer remembered Li Xian, but Li Xian still loved Lin Xi deeply and couldn't bring himself to hurt her. Thus, the two fought for three days.
Finally, the sect leader couldn't stand it anymore and said that if she wasn't killed within a day, he would do it himself.
Li Xian couldn't bear it, and thought of that kind of technique, a technique that could transfer the demonic seed of others into one's own body.
Without hesitation, he lured Lin Xi outside the battlefield, knocked her unconscious, and tried to extract the demonic seed from her body and implant it into himself.
However, the sect leader discovered the plan, but by the time he arrived, the demonic seed had already been removed from Lin Xi's body.
The sect leader told Li Xian to stop, but he didn't listen.
Then the sect leader said what I just told you.
Li Xian's reply was also: "But do I have a choice?"
That's where the story ends...
The old man was in tears, covering his face and weeping bitterly.
That's right, he is Li Xian.
