Supreme Forgetfulness...
Xihe stared at Yan Ke blankly, his whole body cold as if a basin of ice water had been poured on him.
'How do you know?' She wanted to ask him this, opening and closing her mouth, but no words came out. She knew that the supreme forgetfulness he spoke of was not a technique, but the state of being in harmony with the Tao.
To be in harmony with the Tao means to be in harmony with the Way of Heaven. Since it is the Tao, why should there be petty emotions and loves?
What Xihe seeks is immortality.
And only Tao can be immortal in this world.
There are three thousand great ways in the world, but the divine way can only be enjoyed by one person. If Xihe seeks the way, she will be the only one who can stand above the clouds. 009... can only be a discarded pawn.
Xihe's expression gradually subsided, his eyes calm, "I want to merge with the Dao."
009 raised his hand and gently stroked her face, nodding calmly: "I know. I also know that you are using me as a test... Xihe, what I mean is that I am willing to do it."
It is not easy to be in harmony with the Tao. You have to experience all the joys and sorrows, ups and downs, and bitterness and sweetness.
Xihe's ambition was stronger than he had imagined, to become a god. No, perhaps a powerful seed had been planted in her heart when she first came into contact with him, and she worked tirelessly for it.
Becoming a god and leaving the Universe Systems Company is only her first step.
Her ultimate goal is to be in harmony with the Tao and achieve immortality.
009 could even imagine that if the Universe Systems Company had not let her go, she would have destroyed the company even at the cost of both sides suffering losses. The Universe Systems Company saw things more clearly than he did.
009's eyes curved: "I will always be with you until you no longer need me."
Xihe suddenly didn't know what to say. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his slender white fingertips: "009, it's not that easy to merge with the Dao."
"I suppressed my temper and completed the mission, indeed for the sake of seeking the truth, but..."
"You showed up."
She stared blankly at the crescent moon and said, "If you really leave without saying goodbye, I think I will devote myself to seeking the truth."
But he came back.
Surround her in such a strong way.
It's true that she seeks the truth, but that doesn't mean she has no heart. Xihe raised her head and looked at the silver-haired man: "009, a saint will not leave trouble for himself, you, and our... child."
She laughed: "Do you really think that my cultivation has made me cold-hearted and emotionless?"
If she abandons her husband and children, what is the difference between her and Qingle?
Xihe leaned over, held the man's face, lowered her head and pecked him gently: "It's too cold above the blue sky, I still want to be with you." And she also has to keep a good eye on those little guys.
009 blinked, a little unsure: "You, don't plan to merge with the Dao?"
Xihe's eyebrows curved: "I don't want to think about it now."
"Immortality was my initial desire when I created the Star Art. You're naturally gifted, so you can sense it. But..." She curled her fingertips and pointed at his forehead. "Now, things are different."
A gentle force invaded his sea of consciousness, gentle at first, then slowly seeping through his awareness.
After an unknown amount of time, 009 opened his eyes.
Xihe's lips curled up slowly. "Although I've given up the idea of merging with the Dao, I've realized another way to practice the Star Art. The Great Dao is simple, and the Great Dao returns to oneness. 009, how much you can comprehend depends on you."
Although they practice the same technique, how high they can reach depends entirely on each individual.
She used to admire the strong and was courageous by nature, so the way she practiced was naturally extremely strong. Killing, destruction, and annihilation were her original intentions for the Tao, but she later changed her mind, and her intentions for the Tao naturally changed.
The highest good is like water, moistening everything silently. This is her current philosophy.
009 looked at her, then suddenly pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly: "Xihe..."
He was actually very scared. He loved her and was willing to do anything for her, but he felt insecure deep down. He was really afraid that she would abandon them. Even if she would not be as cruel as killing her husband and children, it was very likely that she would treat him as a stranger.
009 apologized deeply: "I'm sorry."
Xihe patted his back gently: "You really should say sorry."
009 froze.
Xihe's hand found the soft flesh on his waist and twisted it hard: "If anything happens, you can ask me first, take the initiative, there will be no guessing process, and there will be no misunderstandings."
She misunderstood that he didn't want her, and he misunderstood that she didn't want her, and they missed so many years in vain.
009's heart softened and he kissed her: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Xihe hummed: "Fortunately, there is still time for everything."
After everything was explained, the two of them suddenly felt relieved, and there was finally no barrier between them. Holding each other's face, their hearts unconsciously softened, and their eyes were filled with stars: "Yan Ke~"
009: "Luanluan~"
Hug each other tightly, filled with joy.
So throughout the winter vacation, the two of them spent almost every day together.
Yan family: "..."
We can’t keep this child!
During this period, the Tan family called Xihe and asked her to take care of herself outside, but they did not ignore her.
Xihe also asked whether they were in good health, and then gave the original owner's parents more than a thousand yuan to use for the New Year. The two elders were very happy and kept saying that she had made progress.
After the New Year, the two started school.
Yan Ke promptly arranged for Xihe to attend school as a day student and also encouraged him to do the same.
Xihe: "...No need for that, right? School is fine."
Yan Ke hugged her waist and rubbed his face against hers: "No! What if there is someone in your school who is blind and pursues you? Besides, I can't sleep without holding you~"
Half dragging and half pulling Xihe back to the dormitory to pack his things.
