Chapter 1259 We Help You One Last Time

The room was dimly lit and filled with the smell of dust. If there had not been movement beside the bed, no one would have thought that someone was living in such a shabby house.

When Pei Luobai saw the person lying on the bed, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He remembered that the last time he saw him, although his situation was bad and he was stuck in a quagmire with an uncertain future, he was still full of hope for the future, had an optimistic attitude, and was positive and enthusiastic.

But I didn't expect that after only seeing him again after a few years, he had become so haggard, his face as pale as paper, his whole body withered, his cloudy eyes filled with despair and struggle, as well as unwillingness and regret, all the complex emotions intertwined together.

Pei Luobai walked over and supported his struggling body as he tried to get up, and helped him lean against the edge of the bed.

"Nightingale, it's great to see you at this time. I thought I would stay in this shabby house with no one passing by, watching my life disappear bit by bit, and finally die lonely and desperate."

"Xiang Jiang, what happened? How did you become like this?" Pei Luobai asked.

"I took the wrong road." Xiang Jiang said this, shaking with excitement, and tightly grasped Pei Luobai's arm: "I took the wrong road!"

As he became more excited, he began to cough violently and was about to pass out. Ye Linglong and Hua Shiqing rushed forward to give him medicine and spiritual power to help him recover.

Xiang Jiang took a breath and looked at Ye Linglong and the others, his eyes widened as he asked, "Are they the fellow disciples you've been looking for? Did you find them and leave?"

"Yes, I found them." Pei Luobai said.

"No wonder you took off the mask on your face. Okay, okay." Xiang Jiang nodded while crying, "You didn't go the wrong way like me. You persisted to the end and got what you wanted. Okay! You did what I couldn't do, you did it!"

As he spoke this excitedly, his tears had already flowed down the wrinkles on his face, covering his entire haggard face, and even his voice was choked with sobs.

"What happened?" Pei Luobai said, "If you need help, I can help you."

After hearing this, the excited Xiang Jiang calmed himself down, looked at the dirty top of the bed tent, and spoke slowly.

"You know, I was just like you back then. I couldn't get what I wanted, and I was in a lot of pain."

Pei Luobai nodded. When the bad news came one after another in those years, he was indeed trapped in painful self-blame.

"But later, I couldn't hold on in this pain. In extreme confusion and self-hatred, I chose to go under the acacia tree."

Hearing the three words "Acacia tree", the others suddenly became excited. So, he was the victim of the Acacia tree?

"There, I had a brief moment of happiness. I seemed to have found my former high-spirited self and obtained everything I had been seeking but could not get in reality.

When I went there for the first time, I told myself, I'll just give it a try, and I'll come back after one try. Anyway, my situation was already so bad, so what's the harm in giving it a try? Maybe there will be a turnaround.

Needless to say, after I came back from the acacia tree for the first time, I was really changed. Because I had been depressed for a long time, my will was gradually depressed, but after that short-lived happiness, my mentality became better.

I seemed to see hope again, I started practicing like crazy, I kept going out to gain experience, I got my strength back, I am really much better than before. "

Having said this, the smile on Xiang Jiang's face gradually disappeared, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"But the reality is that it is so difficult. When I was confident that I had done it again, I suffered another setback. This setback made me fall into a worse state than before.

Because I was so confident that I could do it, but the truth was that I couldn't. This huge failure was like a powerful fist that shattered all my expectations.

In order to regain my fighting spirit, I went to the Acacia tree again.

Every time I go back to the Acacia Tree, I tell myself that it will be the last time. I just need to regain my good mood and sort out my emotions, and then I will leave. I will never indulge.

I only use it to make myself better, and I will never become its slave."

Having said this, Xiang Jiang gave another bitter smile, and as he smiled, he couldn't help crying again.

"I was confident that I could control the degree, but I didn't expect that I couldn't control it at all! Every time I was frustrated in reality, I would go for it when I thought of a simple and direct way to find happiness again!

Although I did regain my happiness and confidence every time, the next time I encountered a setback, I would be more devastated than the last time.

So, in the past few years, I have been in this state of self-doubt and regaining confidence, jumping and walking over and over again, trying to break free, and finally..."

Xiang Jiang cried so loudly. For a grown man to cry like this in front of so many people, it was obvious that he was emotionally broken and his will had been completely worn out.

It’s like going back to the stage when I was a child, unable to control my emotions at all, and would easily break down and cry at the slightest thing.

"In the end, I became like this! The acacia tree sucked away my energy, damaged my body, and destroyed my spirit.

I no longer have the strength to stand up. Not only have I failed to accomplish things in reality, I don’t even have the ability to go to the Acacia Tree again!

I can only watch my life slip away bit by bit in this hopeless and painful reality, looking at myself who is incompetent and humble, and regretting the choice I made.

I took the wrong road!

It’s all because of that acacia tree! Nightingale, you must not touch it, it is really poisonous, it is very poisonous! ”

Xiang Jiang held Nightingale's hand tightly, and the long nails on his dry fingers scratched Pei Luobai's skin uncontrollably.

"You have found your fellow disciples. Take them away from here, away from Yusha City! As long as the Acacia tree is there, Yusha City will be destroyed sooner or later! It will definitely be destroyed!"

Xiang Jiang screamed and collapsed, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

Ye Linglong and Hua Shiqing quickly walked to his side and attacked him again, stabilizing his body.

But they couldn't calm his emotions, he was still breaking down and crying, grabbing his senior brother while crying.

Seeing this, Ye Linglong could only choose to use his spiritual power to invade his soul sea and force him to calm down.

Fortunately, Ye Linglong had already cultivated her spiritual power many times when she was in the Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Abysses, so this was not very difficult for her.

Even though Xiang Jiang's soul sea was in chaos, her soul power was strong enough.

Soon, Xiang Jiang's emotions gradually stabilized, his crying became softer, and eventually he stopped crying, leaving only uncontrollable sobbing.

"Now that things have come to this, let us help you one last time."
