Chapter 55 Just Friends (The End)
Given Hong Xuzi's two previous experiences using the Causal Mirror, Yan Shuoyun would never place all his hopes on the "past," so the formation beneath his feet was the alternative.
If possible, Yan Shuoyun would not want to choose this method, since he also did not want to fight with A Yi.
But things have already come to this point, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Yan Shuoyun remained calm. He even gave Ren Yi a slight smile, his face showing apology, "I'm sorry, Xiao Yi, I also had my own selfish reasons."
The apology was very sincere, clearly from the bottom of his heart, but there was not a trace of wavering or regret on his face.
—Acknowledge mistakes readily, but never repent.
Ren Yi: "..."
For some reason, he recalled that day when Yan Shuoyun calmly said, "Yan Er is also a cultivator," while his younger sister was covered in injuries on the arena. For a moment, Ren Yi wasn't so surprised that the other party would do such a thing.
Ren Yi exchanged a few blows with Yan Shuoyun, but due to the limitations of Yan Shuoyun's cultivation level and old injuries, he was temporarily at a disadvantage and forced to retreat several steps.
Ren Yi could certainly forcefully increase his cultivation level just like he did when he dealt with the snake demon before entering the secret realm, but such things can only happen once or twice, and if he did it again, his account would basically be ruined.
It was just a disguise, and Ren Yi didn't seem to care as much as the people in the small world. However, the key was that his cultivation advancement was time-limited, while the formation remained there. As long as Yan Shuoyun avoided that period, he would still be pulled into the formation.
Yan Shuoyun had anticipated this, which is why he was so calm.
Seeing that the formation was nearing completion, Ren Yi realized that things couldn't continue like this. He immediately ordered the system to [Small One, Switch Accounts, Forcefully Disconnect].
Forcibly leaving the small world does carry risks, but Ren Yi believes the risks at hand are greater.
The system understood the crisis at hand and immediately agreed.
Ren Yi frequently switched between his two accounts, and was very familiar with the process, switching to his alternate account in an instant. However, just as he was about to leave the small world from his alternate account, he heard a soft call, "Qing Ran."
Ren Yi!!!
He was absolutely terrified.
There's also Hong Xuzi on this side!
If Xiao Hanzhou's danger stems from the blessing of being the Chosen One, then Hong Xuzi's danger comes purely from himself.
The latter, as the person with the highest cultivation level in this small world, has already vaguely touched upon the laws of the Heavenly Dao, which is the world consciousness of this world.
Ren Yi stiffly opened his eyes, only to see Hong Xuzi just quietly looking at him, his gaze complex, but he showed no intention of making any move.
Ren Yi was slightly taken aback, but his expression gradually relaxed.
—This is his martial uncle.
The other person could have been living a carefree life outside, instead of slumbering in the boundless seabed, "accompanying" him in this illusory past.
Sword Master's alt account never showed much emotion, but Ren Yi's expression softened a little. "Thank you... Uncle Master."
Ren Yi hesitated for a moment, but in the very end, he chose the title that pleased Hong Xuzi.
Ren Yi could sense that Hong Xuzi didn't really care about being addressed as "Uncle-Master" or "Senior Uncle," and was probably just using it to reminisce about the past when the two brothers used to argue.
Hong Xuzi was stunned, staring blankly at the person opposite him.
Even after the figure opposite him became illusory and transparent, and then turned into specks of firefly light that scattered into this space, Hong Xuzi still sat there as if he had not come back to his senses.
After a long, long time, only an old and long sigh remained on the spot.
Thank you?
A slight pang of regret lingered in his heart, and Hong Xuzi couldn't help but wonder if he had truly done the right thing. If it weren't for his intervention, Qing Ran would have ended up...
—Will they eventually let go?
That child would never waver because of anyone else, not even his master back then.
In the end, it will be no different from what happened back then.
Giving up, not wanting, getting.
The world is bustling and full of sorrows and hardships, but it is still better than being in a dark and hopeless prison, day after day, year after year, quietly waiting for death.
Qingran made that choice back then.
Now, it's even more impossible to drag the other person down into that bottomless abyss with no way back.
