In fact, Isaac himself was not clear about what he was trying to express.
It was a hazy emotion, like a pupa undergoing transformation, whose brief, hazy presence could only be vaguely captured before it completed its metamorphosis.
During this time, the two of them lived in a small room in the Taichang Temple, studying the Book of Poetry, which had been passed down from ancient times.
The sentences, with their exceptionally neat format, were easy to read aloud, but Isaac's attention was entirely focused on the constantly opening and closing of the Lord's thin lips.
He has never been a big fan of reading.
But no matter what the sentence is, it takes on a different meaning when it comes out of Yun Wei's mouth.
Verbal expression is a process of sharing, and he appreciates Yunwei's sharing.
But when he stood on the ring today, he was moved by the inexplicable sword intent and recalled the glory of the Temu Browne family.
That glory was so revered and ancient, as if the entire continent of Zhuyuan was in his hands.
But at that very moment, he realized one fact with absolute clarity—
It seems that the entire Zhuyuan Continent combined cannot compare to Yunwei.
This idea is too absurd and crazy, yet it is also the truth that comes from the bottom of his heart.
It is precisely this surging contradiction that constantly stirs and ferments, eventually bursting forth as poetry.
Using the language of the past, and the sounds and forms of the heart, they uttered a solemn oath.
But Yun Wei's mind was entirely on the man in black robes. He seemed to have heard Isaac say something, but the words were too difficult to understand, and he couldn't hear them clearly at the moment.
He couldn't help but look at his follower and asked with amusement, "Did you just say something to me? There are only the two of us here, why didn't you just say it directly?"
He was truly afraid that one day they would both develop the habit of communicating with their hearts, to the point that their language skills would both deteriorate.
His follower glanced at him silently, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
He recognized that expression all too well; it meant that Isaac had definitely said something to him just now.
And it will definitely be the super cheesy kind.
His lover loved to say sweet nothings to him with an extremely serious expression and a solemn tone, words that made him feel embarrassed just thinking about them.
Yun Wei stared at Isaac suspiciously, about to say something, but was kissed by the tall man in time.
"Hmm!" Yun Wei couldn't help but pat Isaac's arm, but he quickly succumbed to the other's resolute gaze. No matter how much dissatisfaction he had, it eventually turned into a barely audible sob.
...
"Alright, we need to hurry back." Yun Wei said through gritted teeth, his back to Isaac who hadn't changed his clothes yet, but his tone remained nonchalant and calm.
His entire face was burning red, just like his swollen lips, which even magic couldn't completely conceal.
"Just a moment, wait for me." Isaac replied with a smile, glancing at his master's reddened ears.
Knowing he was in the wrong, he quickly took out his clothes and changed, afraid that Yun Wei would really get angry and leave without waiting for him.
"Hurry up," Yun Wei urged.
He leaned against the doorpost, tapping absently on the red paint on the door with his fingertips, and finally lowered his eyes and said, "Isa, I'm a little hesitant... Now I feel that remaining neutral is the best choice for Azure City."
Although this city, built on a vast expanse of mudflats, is exceptionally beautiful, it has very few truly powerful individuals.
If the Abyss were determined to destroy this city, it would only take the blink of an eye.
The reason the Abyss didn't do that must be because it had ulterior motives.
What it desires is a magnificent city that can control the lifeline of the entire continent's industries, not a desolate wasteland.
Therefore, even though the four swords battle agreement has been finalized, Yunwei still has time to plan and strategize.
Whether it was his status as an outsider or the current situation that was on the verge of boiling over, he had to pull himself out of the joy of victory and calmly analyze the entire battle.
It's like standing on the edge of an abyss, like walking on thin ice.
He couldn't help but think that if the Abyss didn't destroy Bili, it was because it needed Bili as a fulcrum to move the entire Zhuyuan Continent—
But what if Bili City stood on the opposite side of the abyss?
"If you can't have it, destroy it" seems to be the more sensible approach to the behavior of the Abyss.
Yun Wei doesn't consider himself a very decisive person, and finds it difficult to take responsibility for his choices.
“Maintaining neutrality requires a lot of confidence.” Isaac had already changed his clothes and came to Yun Wei’s side unhurriedly, gently massaging his master’s stiff shoulders.
"Ouch—it hurts a little, be a little gentler." Yun Wei couldn't help but grimace.
He was actually a little itchy, but he was too embarrassed to admit it.
Isaac slowed down as instructed, helping Yun Wei relax while saying slowly, "When the Chaos Plane first invaded, many ministers in the court believed that we should strive to remain neutral."
Yun Wei asked, "And then?"
“They’re all dead.” Isaac’s tone was unusually flat, as if he were stating something trivial.
Yun Wei was speechless for a moment.
Seeing his master fall silent, Isaac explained in a low voice, "But I think they deserved to die. If they hadn't had illusions in the first place, many confused people might not have lost their lives in vain."
“But that’s exactly what I fear,” Yun Wei answered honestly. “I’m afraid that my decisions will change the fate of others.”
Before seeing the final result, he didn't know if he was one of those short-sighted courtiers from eight hundred years ago.
But after saying that, Yun Wei clearly felt Isaac's large hand on his shoulder stop moving.
“But you have already changed the fate of someone.” His servant whispered in his ear, “And you must learn to take responsibility for him.”
Yun Wei: "..."
He believed that he was quite confident and had a say in this matter.
He was already an exceptionally competent master, and his treatment of his followers could no longer be described as lenient; it was downright indulgent.
But after being interrupted by Isaac, Yun Wei really relaxed a lot.
He realized that he had once again fallen into a vicious cycle of self-limitation and self-denial.
“Admittedly, you wish their fate were in their own hands. But the truth is, those you hope to redeem are often blind,” Isaac quickly added when Yun Wei didn’t answer.
Yun Wei curled the corners of his mouth and said self-deprecatingly, "Of course I know, but perhaps... I'm not that noble."
If he could, he would only want to spend his whole life digging for monster cores in the forests of the south.
Isaac patted Yun Wei on the shoulder and said, "Let's take it one step at a time and see what happens. I'll be with you anyway."
"Hmm." Yun Wei couldn't help but smile and sincerely praised, "Isa, you are indeed very different today."
Isaac raised an eyebrow. Although he couldn't see Yun Wei's expression, he knew that the man in front of him was smiling.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oh? How is it different?"
"You've grown up," Yun Wei commented objectively.
