The cemetery at dusk appeared exceptionally desolate.
With Jiang Xinxin's downfall, the Huang family's great grudge has finally been avenged.
Huang Ziming knelt before Huang Anxiong's grave for a full half hour before slowly standing up.
Even with a thousand unbearable memories and countless regrets, life must go on.
"Brother Lin, thank you!"
Huang Ziming said sincerely to Lin Yu.
The mastermind behind the entire incident was Chen Yu, a member of a powerful clan.
If Lin Yu hadn't intervened, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
And I will eventually live out my life in a vegetative state, feeling miserable!
This heartfelt expression of gratitude encompasses a thousand words.
However, Lin Yu just smiled calmly and shook his head, saying, "What I did was all within my capabilities! There's a saying that goes, 'A friend in need is a friend indeed.' The most precious relationships are those where someone stands firmly by your side and protects you even knowing they will get hurt, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Ziming trembled and looked towards Lan Ling, who was not far away.
She stood there gracefully amidst the blue sky and white clouds, wearing light-wash jeans, looking like the girl next door—gentle, kind, and reassuring.
At this moment, Lan Ling was already in tears.
She was happy for Huang Ziming, and happy for her friend!
Lin Yu knew the two had a lot to say and didn't want to disturb them, so he patted Huang Ziming on the shoulder and led everyone out of the cemetery.
After Lin Yu left, only Huang Ziming and Lan Ling remained in the empty fields.
Huang Ziming walked over step by step, as if he was about to fall, and Lan Ling quickly stepped forward to support him.
After regaining his balance, Huang Ziming said with red eyes, "Lan Ling, I owe you a thank you! Thank you! Actually, you've been with me a lot these past few days, and I could feel it. I've made many friends throughout my life, but I never expected that after this incident, you would be the only one who truly cares for me!"
Lan Ling smiled and said, "Since we're friends, there's no need to be so formal. Although I, Lan Ling, am a woman, I know how to write the words 'trust and righteousness'! Besides, my Lan family owes its current success entirely to the support of the Huang family. My grandfather often taught me to be grateful and repay kindness. I'm doing this to put my mind at ease!"
Huang Ziming was deeply moved, his blood boiling. He grabbed Lan Ling's arm and said, "Lan Ling, since God let me live, it's so I can see the true colors of the people around me! I was so foolish, not choosing such a wonderful girl like you, but falling for Jiang Xinxin's tricks! Lan Ling, we've known each other for quite a while now, so why don't you give me a chance, I..."
Before Huang Ziming could say anything, Lan Ling quickly pressed her finger to his lips. Huang Ziming stopped abruptly, looking at her with a surprised expression.
Lan Ling slowly lowered her hand, shook her head and said, "Ziming, some things lose their meaning once they're said. I helped you purely out of my own will, without any other intentions, and I don't want you to misunderstand anything! In this life, all we need is peace of mind. Now that you're better, I'm at peace. You are the young marquis, the future glory of the Huang family. You can find any kind of woman you want, so why cling to this and change the relationship between us? Besides, I already have someone I love!"
In the end, Lan Ling was somewhat joking.
Huang Ziming took it seriously, "You have someone you like? How come I didn't know? You usually have the best taste! You're lying to me!"
He was telling the truth. There were many wealthy young men from top-tier families who pursued Lan Ling, and some even spent a fortune on her, but Lan Ling never gave him any attention!
Lan Ling shook her head. "Life is unpredictable. I once thought that one day I would leave this world alone, without marriage! I never thought that some people would appear in your life so suddenly!"
As Lan Ling spoke, she couldn't help but look out towards the outside of the cemetery.
Upon hearing this, Huang Ziming seemed to understand something.
He then shook his head and smiled.
"No wonder, Brother Lin is indeed an outstanding person. Even if I cultivated for eight lifetimes, I'm afraid I would still be unable to catch up with him!" Huang Ziming couldn't help but sigh.
He would definitely disagree with anyone else, but he was completely convinced of his defeat to Lin Yu.
Lan Ling was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face flushed red. "What did you say!"
Huang Ziming chuckled and shook his head, but then his expression turned serious. "Lan Ling, I don't blame you for not choosing me! As a friend, I also hope you can be happy. However, Brother Lin, I advise you not to make any moves on him! After all, he's already married!"
Lan Ling's pretty face stiffened, and then she gradually became cold and distant.
She said softly, "I know! He's an open and honest person; he told me everything as soon as we met! But when it comes to love, you don't know where it starts, and once it begins, it runs deep. There's nothing I can do about it!"
"However, I'm not a greedy person, and I won't break up other people's families. I, Lan Ling, still have that much dignity!"
"You know, liking and getting are two different things!" Lan Ling smiled gently, her face in the sunset as beautiful as an angel's.
Huang Ziming was stunned.
But I also feel sorry for this friend.
Whether you're carefree or accepting of things, the pain of unrequited love is still the pain of unrequited love.
In the common experience of unrequited love, who isn't the pitiful one?
Just like him and Jiang Xinxin.
In this life, who can guarantee that they will not make the wrong choice? Even if they do not make the wrong choice, who can guarantee that their original intention will remain unchanged? Even if their original intention remains unchanged, who can guarantee that they will stay together until they grow old?
Saha is the name of Earth in Buddhist scriptures. In Sanskrit, it means "regret".
Yes, life is full of regrets!
...
Lin Yu had no idea that he had become an obstacle to his brother Huang Ziming's pursuit of happiness.
He was already on his way back.
The affair between the four major families and Jiang Xinxin has come to a complete end.
His worries only deepened.
Two things. One is about the flying corpses. The flying corpses are heading north, and they can't just fly without eating, they'll definitely grow and evolve!
If we don't capture and eliminate him, it will be a huge disaster if he becomes a drought demon!
As soon as the drought demon comes out, the red ground will be thousands of miles away.
This is a record from ancient books, not a joke!
Once this happens, there will be widespread starvation, followed by war and disease!
That would be terrible!
He now wishes he could personally go into battle to stop the flying corpses.
However, firstly, the flying corpse's whereabouts were unpredictable and difficult to ascertain. By the time they received the news and arrived, it was already too late.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate for him to make a move only when the encirclement has been narrowed down to a certain extent.
Another thing is that his great enemy, Luo Wuchen, is about to come to the pass to participate in the martial arts tournament.
Therefore, I must go and attend for a while!
