310 The Rise and Fall of the Royal City (Chapter 39)
After examining it closely, I still had no clue what to do. I whispered, "What's going on? Do I need help?"
Piaomiaoyue and Yunsu exchanged a glance, a hint of awkwardness in their expressions, unsure how to begin. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, their cheeks flushed slightly, their lips curved into a gentle smile, and they hesitated, unable to speak further.
She lowered her head slightly, wanting to speak several times, but found it difficult to speak. Yun Su's face was slightly red, like a peach blossom in early spring. Her eyes sparkled with a subtle smile, yet also seemed to carry a hint of shyness that was hard to detect. Suddenly, she gently leaned against her ear.
A refreshing floral fragrance, delicate and elegant, wafted in, accompanied by a faint whisper: 'Master and Miss Han are in love. Generally speaking, diluted elixirs wouldn't have such a potent effect…'
With her ears flushed, she gently explained the matter in general terms, without going into too much detail, ultimately leaving the choice to the Master and the others.
Some people and some things require different choices. For example, some choices, even if they lead to burning flames, are not necessarily wrong. Others laugh at my madness, but I laugh at their ignorance! The path of life is always filled with various choices!
Perhaps they're intoxicated in the mountains and forests, enjoying leisure amidst the white clouds. Or perhaps they laugh at the mortal world, always caught up in love, hate, greed, anger, and delusion. Some can't bear to see the suffering of the common people, nor the hardships of their lives. They always want to accommodate everyone. Their hearty laughter will always be an endless memory for some!
Some live a carefree life, sitting alone in a secluded bamboo grove, playing the zither and letting out long sighs, enjoying a leisurely existence. Because they know that some things are not suitable for them, and that when paths diverge, whether there is a fork or not remains to be seen.
Piaomiaoyue nodded slightly. Ultimately, since this matter involved others, it was their own decision.
A gentle breeze carries a subtle fragrance, like a fairy descended from heaven. At this moment, my mind is filled with many conflicting thoughts. Who exactly are all the people in my heart? Quick impressions flash through my mind, and finally, I must make some decisions.
After listening to Su'er's words, he nodded slightly in agreement, "Okay, if it's too far, I'll deliver it. I'll go and collect the ashes here first."
Then, with a swift movement, he arrived at the stone village ablaze with lightning and fire. His divine sense spread out, silently searching the entire area. He chose a beautiful spot, its scenery picturesque, and intuitively determined that this was the place. He gently cracked the earth and placed the object inside. Then, he gently closed the lid.
Select a six-foot-long boulder, make a gentle cut, and the cut surface is smooth and flat. Carve a few simple words on it: "Shijia Village Tomb!"
I imagine that if distant relatives were to return, there would be a place to long for them; if not, I imagine that if someone were to pass by, they would know that there was once a village here, that it existed, and that it vanished. Like many villages and people that have disappeared, I vanished without a trace.
He carefully and meticulously buried the ashes. There was no youthful vigor, no high spirits, no roaring to the sky, no lofty ambitions. He simply watched quietly, just as his adoptive father had died and turned to ashes, remaining in his heart.
Yun Su and Piao Miaoyue didn't pay much attention to their lover's reaction. Watching him clean up the mess, they felt a strange touch of emotion, a sense of warmth and gratitude.
If I were in that situation, I suppose I would at least have a place to be buried.
The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Ultimately, the matter needed to be resolved; they couldn't just stand by and watch their lives end!
He gently called to the two women, and they struggled to wake up. Their faces were flushed, their temperatures had spiked as if they had a fever, and their eyes were filled with struggle, as if they were having trouble making a decision.
Piaomiaoyue and Yunsu each took one person and separated, their voices soft and gentle.
Looking at the Master, who was currently suppressing his emotions, Piao Miaoyue noticed his slender waist, upright neck, and beautiful curves. The glistening beads of sweat on his forehead only enhanced his captivating charm. She whispered softly, "Does the Master have someone he loves?"
Upon hearing this, Jingzhai blushed instantly, her graceful figure trembled slightly, and she straightened up even more, exhaling sharply, trying her best to control her distracting thoughts, and shook her head slightly and elegantly.
For a moment, Piaomiao Yue was at a loss for words. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Does the Master have any plans?"
Jingzhai smiled gently, a smile that was both pleasant and melodious, like a gentle breeze. "If this is fate, then so be it. Yue'er, don't worry about it. From now on, you'll need to take good care of yourself."
A few words, yet so many lingering feelings and a touch of reluctance. At this moment, there's also the unwillingness to compromise; pride can sometimes be too heavy a burden.
Han Linling, pale-faced and with her hair soaked, was supported by Yun Su, who spoke softly, "Sister Han, do you have someone you love? If so, let's set off now."
Her eyes sparkled, a hint of restraint welling up in her heart. She shook her head slightly, then suddenly began to tease him, a graceful curve forming at the corners of her lips. Her eyes gleamed with a light that seemed both real and unreal, and she spoke in a low, bell-like voice, "If my sister is willing, would you lend me your lover for a moment?"
I'm afraid my sister won't be able to bear to part with him! Such a handsome young man is rare indeed; he must be the envy of countless young ladies.
His words revealed an indescribable emotion, as if he was expecting a response he didn't know if he truly wanted, or perhaps he himself was inexplicably nervous at that moment, with all sorts of thoughts running through his mind, and he smiled slightly.
Yun Su watched and listened attentively. After a moment's thought, she nodded earnestly, a complex emotion lingering on her face, yet her expression was firm: 'If Sister Han doesn't mind, I'm willing, but it would be unfair to Sister Han.'
He opened his mouth slightly in surprise, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He seemed to have forgotten what he had said. He had an expression of disbelief mixed with a hint of joy. At that moment, time stood still, as if the chirping of insects had stopped, and everything had disappeared, leaving only the word "willing." It was truly unbelievable.
She lowered her head slightly, her face flushed, and her delicate hands gently kneaded the hem of her clothes. Her soft, shy demeanor and the blush on her face spread to the back of her neck. It was a rare sight indeed. She nodded softly in response, just like a young girl.
The sound was faint, like a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves, as soft as a mosquito's buzz, almost inaudible. Yun Su gently supported Han Linling and held her close, as if in quiet stillness, she was smoothing out the ripples in her heart.
A light rain falls, a gentle breeze rustles, and with unwavering devotion, love truly can be intoxicating!
Looking at the Chief Judge who had made the decision, Piao Miaoyue felt a strange pang of heartache, yet she was also helpless. Sometimes, no matter how difficult things are, they are still hard to solve. Sometimes, even if you know there is a shortcut, you are still unwilling to take it.
That's what it means to be human, after all, there are many animals that can't compare. Although we have instincts, we can also control them. What we think about is not just living. Everyone yearns for a better future, but at this moment, we are cutting off our present.
Whether I regret it or not, though I am extremely reluctant, I cannot make the decision for others at this moment, and can only watch quietly.
