"Disciple, I'm leaving!"
At Ye Qiu's command, the three disciples retreated, leaving only Lianfeng and Ye Qiu at the scene.
Looking at their backs, Lianfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"Well... time flies so fast. Before I knew it, more than ten years have passed."
When she first met Lin Qingzhu, she was just a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Now, she has grown into a capable abbot and even has her own disciples.
"Yeah, it's really fast..."
Ye Qiu agreed with this statement very much. Among these disciples, except Linglong who had not changed at all, the rest had changed a lot.
They have all grown up, but in Ye Qiu's heart, they are still the naive girls of seventeen or eighteen years old that he had just met, naive and inexperienced in the world.
Therefore, no matter how often, Ye Qiu was worried about letting them go through the world alone and guarded them all the time.
However, as they grow more mature, this situation will change sooner or later, and they will have to experience something.
"What are you going to do next?"
Looking at Ye Qiu, Lianfeng's eyes were tender and a little worried. She was worried about him but didn't know how to start.
Ye Qiu looked at her, saw the worry in her heart, pinched her cheek ambiguously, and said: "Haha...you don't have to worry about this, let's talk about you first."
"How about it! Can you ignite the other two sacred fires in three months?"
This is the most serious problem Lianfeng is facing right now. If she cannot ignite the three sacred fires and break through to the realm of sacrifice in the next three months, then she will miss the showdown in the realm of sacrifice.
Although this is not a bad thing for her, Ye Qiu hopes that she can stand on the same side with him and fight side by side.
So far, among this group of people, except Ye Qiu and Mingyue, the rest have only ignited one divine fire.
People like Ye Qingxuan, Ling Tian and others are all like this.
However, Ye Qiu believes that these big clans will start to exert their strength in the future, and we must not underestimate the strength of these big clans.
They have been accumulating wealth for millions of years and there are countless treasures in the clan.
At this most critical moment, as the hope of the clan, they will definitely put the most resources on these people.
For example, Ye Qingxuan, as the nominal successor of the Ye clan, the son of clan leader Ye Wuhen, and has such a high talent.
I believe that as long as the Ye family members are not fools, they will definitely take out real treasures to help him.
Moreover, after the last rebellion, the Ye family was now completely under the control of Ye Wuhen. How could he possibly let his beloved son down when he was so powerful?
As for Ling Tian, he is the best among the best. His family has placed all their hopes on him and his resources are definitely indispensable.
Therefore, in this comparison, Ye Qiu and Lian Feng, who do not have the support of a large family, seem a little down and out.
Three months may seem short and fleeting, but for those big families, it is enough time to change many things.
The Bu Tian Divine Mountain today may seem calm, but in fact, it is undercurrent and filled with murderous intent.
Lianfeng is very clear about this problem. As one of the heirs of the Goddess of Bu Tian, she cannot escape this dispute.
After thinking calmly for a long time, she finally said: "Qiu... I want to give up my identity as the heir to the goddess."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why she made such a decision, but from her eyes, Ye Qiu saw an extremely determined look.
This was a decision she made after careful consideration.
Ye Qiu respected her decision, but was a little puzzled, and asked: "Why?"
Lianfeng smiled slightly, walked to the small pavilion on the edge of the cliff, sat down quietly, and poured a cup of tea for Ye Qiu.
Then he said, "Inheriting the position of the goddess means that you will be tied to this sacred mountain for your entire life. This is a fate that cannot be escaped, and it is also a bond."
"The Great Elder said that the Bu Tian Pavilion was born because of the Bu Tian Goddess. The one who inherits the Goddess also inherits the Bu Tian Pavilion. This seems to be a supreme honor, but in fact... it is an invisible shackle."
"One day, this world will no longer have room for us, which means we will leave here and look for a wider world."
"By then, this seemingly supreme honor will become a fatal shackle that will lock me tightly and trap me for the rest of my life."
After these words were spoken, Ye Qiu fell silent.
Lianfeng thought more than him because she was in the situation and was very clear about the cause and effect relationship involved.
This sacred mountain, which is built to repair the sky, towers into the clouds, like a towering mountain pressing down on the nine heavens and ten earths. But in fact, it is a tomb that you will find it difficult to escape from in your lifetime.
Inheriting the goddess's power means that you will never be able to leave this mountain for the rest of your life.
Lianfeng knew clearly that Ye Qiu would go looking for a wider world one day, and she wanted to accompany Ye Qiu to conquer that world instead of being trapped here for the rest of her life.
The previous conversation with Mingyue made her deeply understand this truth, although Mingyue did not point it out, and she did not talk about this topic either.
But it was this inexplicable conversation that made her feel a deep sense of crisis. If she inherited the throne of the Goddess of Repairing the Sky, then... the person who would accompany Ye Qiu and fight together in the Nine Heavens in the future would no longer be her, but Mingyue.
Therefore, when she returned to Zixia Dojo, she thought about this issue carefully and analyzed the gains and losses seriously.
If she had not yet obtained the inheritance of the Lord of Yaotai, she might have chosen the same path as her senior brother did and compete for the so-called position of the goddess.
Because she knew that her path was just this one.
But after inheriting the path that the Lord of Yaotai had spent millions of years exploring, she understood a truth.
Her journey goes far beyond this!
She still has a long way to go on this long and endless road. For the Lord of Yaotai, for Ye Qiu, and for the faith in her heart, she wants to keep going.
This is her biggest hope now.
Among them, more importantly, it is to realize the lifelong wish of the Lord of Yaotai, the master she has never met.
Although she had never met the Lord of Yaotai, in her heart, the other party had become the person she respected the most.
She wanted to prove that the lifelong efforts of the Lord of Yaotai were not wrong, but a true supreme path.
This is the power of faith! Ye Qiu had already felt it from her eyes.
I support her and believe in her in my heart.
"Okay! Lian'er, no matter what decision you make, I will support you and stand behind you unconditionally and accompany you."
Ye Qiu was very happy. Once upon a time, he had been confused and thought that one day he would lose the person he loved.
But now, this hesitation is gone, instead there is a kind of peace of mind and incomparable inner tranquility.
