Chapter 32 Reconciliation
◎The third time◎
"The photography ball is flying up, why don't you let go?" Shi Hanqiao's expression was indifferent. She first let go of the hand that was pulling Luo Wusheng.
Luo Wusheng pursed his lips, feeling heat creeping up to his ears, but he still didn't let go.
"We are teammates, we have to help each other." He didn't want to let go, because the fog around her was so thick that if he let go he would feel like he would never be able to catch her again.
The light that the phoenix eyes avoided was like the moonlight hidden behind the clouds, which instead had a hazy beauty.
Shi Hanqiao's eyes were dazed for a moment. The silvery moonlight added a layer of cold light to the long golden hair tied behind her ears. The crow feathers on her expectant phoenix eyes trembled uneasily. The moonlight slid down her straight nose and landed on her tightly pursed pale lips.
In an instant, Shi Hanqiao formed an impression of Luo Wusheng. Unlike the indifferent interest he had when they first met, he no longer regarded him as another identity of W, but truly viewed him as an independent person.
Before, when she looked at Luo Wusheng, she was looking at W, who was using the virtual standard image of the Star Realm. Now, what she saw was not the virtual image, but Luo Wusheng's appearance.
Shi Hanqiao said nothing more and walked with him towards the center of the mountain top, but his thoughts followed the moonlight across time and space and returned to the past.
Even after Luo Wei led her away from the pile of corpses, Shi Hanqiao didn't completely let down her guard. She just needed someone to lead her out of the devil's den, and she was prepared to fall into another bloody hole.
But Luo Wei is very gentle. In the world of cultivation where people who are hundreds or even thousands of years old have tight skin and are young and beautiful, she is unique in that she has white hair, wrinkles on her face, and a heart of a saint.
Shi Hanqiao once guessed that she had some shameful intentions, such as wanting to use her blood and physique to regain her youth.
But all the bad things she expected did not happen. Luo Wei's true heart was just like her kind and gentle appearance, just like what people call an elder.
Luo Wei has always treated her as an elder, as if she was just a lost junior.
Shi Hanqiao could not understand her transcendental mind. She just used Luo Wei's soil to practice hard to make herself stronger.
Luo Wei has always let her go and never tried to instill her ideas in her.
While practicing, Shi Hanqiao thought to herself in a self-deprecating way, if she continued like this, wouldn't she be afraid of cultivating a half-human, half-demon monster that would endanger the three realms?
Facts have proved that Luo Wei's indulgence did indeed cultivate a demon, but at most it would frighten the three realms, and would not bring a devastating disaster to the three realms.
It’s more about trust than indulgence on her part.
Luo Wei always has expectations for human nature, but Shi Hanqiao doesn't believe it because in addition to human nature, she also has an innate devilish nature.
However, her kindness and gentleness did become the warmest part of Shi Hanqiao's memory.
Luo Wei has saved more than one child. The other children are different from her. They are not as vigilant, cautious, and have no malicious speculation.
Naturally, Luo Wei should like other children more.
Shi Hanqiao didn't care at all, and she would even coldly reject other children when they showed their affection.
However, Luo Wei did not even treat them equally. She would comfort the other children and then allow Shi Hanqiao to be indifferent and reject her.
The other children only follow Luo Wei for a period of time, because Luo Wei will help them find their families or families worthy of entrusting them to.
Only she stayed by Luo Wei's side.
Later, he met a demon child.
He showed his affection to Shi Hanqiao several times, but she rejected him without exception.
Apart from Shi Hanqiao, he is the child who has been with Luo Wei the longest.
Shi Hanqiao had forgotten who he was or what he looked like. She only remembered that after she rejected him again, he fell to the ground and died.
When Shi Hanqiao stood there at a loss, Luo Wei did not blame her. After burying him, she had a serious talk with her.
"You, why can't you just accept other people's kindness directly?"
Little Shi Hanqiao said indifferently: "I don't like it."
"But you didn't push him away." There's a subtle difference between not accepting and actively pushing him away. Luo Wei looked at the silent girl and sighed helplessly, "You're always so stubborn!"
"It's not that it's bad, but it's easy to miss a lot of beautiful things this way." Luo Wei gently stroked her hair. She habitually dodged to the side, then stopped where she was, frowning and letting her wrinkled hand fall.
"You can reject me countless times, it doesn't matter." Luo Wei put down her hand, "I can wait until the day you take the initiative to accept me."
"But others can't wait until that day."
"Because for some people, even approaching them takes all their energy."
"He's also half-human, half-demon. You're the first of his kind he's met, which is why he wants to be close to you. But he's not as strong as you, and now his life has come to an end. It should be said that you're the only exception. No other half-human, half-demon has survived like you, and you have a cultivation talent that even the most talented people envy. You are the most unique existence in the world."
Luo Wei's gentle tone was filled with lingering sadness, "That's why I'm even more worried."
Heaven is jealous of talented people. The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
But there is another situation that is completely opposite and even more terrifying.
Luo Wei had accidentally witnessed this situation. She did not accidentally save Shi Hanqiao because she wanted to save the children, but she had been looking for her, so she saved the other children.
"I hope you... can be happier." Luo Wei still couldn't express the hope that was carrying invisible pressure. She just poked Shi Hanqiao's expressionless little face and gave her the most plain blessing.
“Rejecting others can prevent you from getting hurt, but it also blocks the happiness you might otherwise gain.”
Shi Hanqiao didn't say anything and didn't make any promises, because Luo Wei didn't make any demands on her.
After that, Luo Wei continued to pick up children, but Shi Hanqiao still coldly rejected their advances.
However, if they continue to take the initiative, she will accept it by the third time.
So when Luo Wusheng grabbed her for the third time, Shi Hanqiao did not break free.
She thought of her conversation with Luo Wei.
When the camera ball caught up, it captured the scene of two people walking side by side.
【Eh, we're back together?!】
[Qiao Mei, are you coaxed into it so quickly?!]
[Can you guys please stop overthinking this couple? Luo Wusheng has his own plans. How can you think of him as just chasing A for love?]
[I don't see how they're a good match at all. Can CP fans please stop overthinking it?]
[That's right, I'm so annoyed. Luo Wusheng clearly arranged it freely, but you insist on saying he's just a love-brained person. I'm really impressed.]
[...Then why don't you guys just stop posting on the CP fan channel? You want to watch and then criticize, what's your point?]
The increasingly tense atmosphere during military training created a conflict between those who originally supported the couple and those who were serious about watching the training. Starnet was abuzz with rumors of scandals, with a constant stream of gossip.
Any single issue can be interpreted in countless ways, and neither side can convince the other. The arguments are heated, but as time passes and new events occur, they start arguing about new points of view.
At this time, no one had noticed the revelation about Shi Hanqiao on Starnet.
【Now that everyone is gone, stop arguing. 】
【Hahaha, I wanted to laugh when I watched Qianxing and the others’ live broadcast.】
Qian Xing is truly amazing, having already taken an absolute advantage. It's just that his teammates won't listen to him, hahaha.
[Qianxing: One can't lead eight!]
I think Qianxing is truly amazing. He saw the situation clearly early on and occupied the easily defendable and difficult-to-attack Lone Peak from the start. It's just that his teammates are just too weak.
[Don't be too much of a fan of Qianxing. He is indeed powerful, but his allies are not weak either.]
[I can only say that Qianxing's allies are too strong and have too many unique personalities. They are not suitable.]
Speaking of personalities, I have to talk about Luo Wusheng and the others. Which of his allies isn't strong?! Which one doesn't have a personality?! There's even a commander! But their team just works so well together!
[I suddenly seem to understand the purpose of Luo Wusheng and the others' camping.]
[Please stop arguing, I'm worried about you!]
"Ahhh! Please stop arguing. I feel like lifting the curtain and taking a look."
[Eh, but then again, why didn't they notice Shi Hanqiao? ]
In the center of the mountaintop, a simple military base was built at some unknown time.
Under the crude tent curtain are the most advanced control panels and reserve robots.
"Manda, go to Houya to take over the shift." Qianxing always felt uneasy. Although they were allied now, they were more like a pile of loose sand.
As a commander, he not only needs to have a control over the situation, but more importantly, he needs to have control over his team.
Unfortunately, among his teammates, only Ulysses was able to accept his command calmly. The other Alphas were too proud and self-centered, and the two Betas were also dissatisfied.
If there was enough time, he could also make the team run in better, but it was impossible to integrate the edges and corners of the Alphas who were strong and of noble birth in less than seven days.
The expected questions followed one after another.
"You might be suffering from paranoid delusions. There's no way out of the cliff face." The tall Manda remained motionless. "We've already sent people to block the only road leading up the mountain. What else is there to worry about?"
Qian Xing took a deep breath. He had already given a series of explanations on why they had to occupy the top of the mountain as soon as possible and the deployment and rotation after arriving.
Although he is a commander, he is also an Alpha. He is not without pride and confidence, but he chooses to consider the overall situation and temporarily suppress the sharp part of his personality to reconcile the team's fit.
【Hahahaha, Qianxing is really about to collapse. 】
[Honestly, even if this kind of teammate is strong, it's still not as good as someone who is slightly weaker but willing to trust the commander and follow his orders.]
"What's there to worry about? Are you serious?! Your teammates are already taken care of, and you're still oblivious and arguing with the commander."
[Looking at it this way, there's actually a problem with the command! The teammates weren't chosen well.]
Please, military training is so tight, and no one knows each other. It's already good enough to form a good team and gain an absolute advantage.
"Yes, Qianxing's command is truly crucial. He recognized the importance of Duxing Peak early on. With the right arrangements, nine people can completely withstand the tens of thousands of scattered soldiers below the mountain."
Manda is really a bad teammate, including those two Betas.
[A bit of both. Ander and the two men named Luo also don't quite obey Qianxing. Except for Qianxing's sister Qianxin and Ulysses, no one seriously follows Qianxing's orders.]
[Hey, where did Luo Wusheng go? Why did he suddenly disappear?]
The intensity of the barrage was directly proportional to the tension in the tent. Just as Qianxing kept reminding himself that his goal was to get first place in military training and chose to suppress his anger, Manda glanced at Ander, who was as steady as a rock, and said nonchalantly, "The summit is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We have sufficient military supplies. First place is a sure thing. There is nothing to worry about."
Qianxing couldn't hold it any longer, and Ulysses' voice suddenly appeared.
"Oh no, there's someone!"
The whip shot out like a snake, swiftly biting Manda's neck. As everyone was stunned, it swiftly slashed through the necks of Ande, Qianxing, and Qianxin, with only Ulysses quickly dodging it.
However, there was no escape in the narrow space, and the dark, cold whip seemed to have a life of its own, chasing him relentlessly. When his path was blocked by the figures of Ander and Manda, the whip wrapped around his neck.
The watches of the five people flashed one after another, and the information of their "death" was determined and conveyed by artificial intelligence.
Shi Hanqiao lifted the curtain and walked in, continuing Manda's words.
"You should still be worried."
