Chapter 794: Take Care, Little Junior Brother
On the other side,
After returning yesterday,
The atmosphere between Lin Feng, Jiang Yanxi, and Li Changye had become somewhat stiff and oppressive.
On one hand,
All three were worried about the safety of Old Six Feng Muzhen.
On the other hand,
The Senior Brother’s mind was clearly in disarray,
Since Master’s departure, as the Senior Brother, he should have taken on the responsibility of looking after his junior brothers and sisters.
But in reality,
Everything was in shambles now.
In such a short time, they had not only offended the Yaoguang Sacred Ground, but now they had also offended Star Gate… As for the Sword Gate, although Hao Tian said he didn’t mind before leaving, that path was undoubtedly closed as well!
He was once a proud genius,
He was once headstrong, fearless, and decisive, but with the passage of time, he had somehow acquired constraints, and his heart had become filled with concerns…
Thinking of this,
A surge of bitterness suddenly welled up in Senior Brother’s heart.
What had become of himself?
“This world is cruel. Some choose to fight head-on, while others go with the flow… Neither choice is wrong, only the results differ.”
Lin Feng walked closer and said softly.
“Perhaps, but sometimes making choices is the most painful thing.”
Senior Brother seemed unwilling to discuss this further and changed the subject, asking:
“Did Elder Bei Xuan say anything when taking Little Lian away?”
“He spoke some philosophical words… essentially saying that to move forward, one inevitably loses many things… one must endure loneliness, bear sadness, and withstand pain.”
Lin Feng replied.
Senior Brother’s expression froze upon hearing this, then he sighed:
“Elder Bei Xuan also has his untold past. I heard from Master that years ago, he abandoned the woman he loved most to become immortal. Ten thousand years later, when he awoke, his beloved had passed, and time could not be reversed.”
Lin Feng gazed at the vast starry sky in silence.
He certainly knew about that incident,
After all, back at the Chen family in Yun Chuan,
He had personally seen the farewell letter left by Elder Bei Xuan…
The letter’s content was brief, guilt-ridden, yet resolute… beginning with asking the woman named Xiao Ya to forget him.
But becoming immortal,
Was it really that important?
If one loses their most beloved person, what meaning is there in achieving immortality?
After tens of thousands of years,
Sitting alone in the clouds, looking back, only oneself remains…
“Some people, once lost, can never be found again. Senior Brother… I actually think you and Second Sister are quite compatible. In her heart, your position is very, very high…”
Lin Feng suddenly said.
Senior Brother’s expression froze, then he smiled:
“Is that so? Yesterday you flew into a rage for your beloved, I thought you had feelings for her, and she had some affection for you too. Compared to that, I seem rather ugly, trying to use her to please the Sword Gate. Thinking about it now, it truly feels terrible.”
“It’s actually different. Her slight affection for me is more about admiring strength. But for you, it’s a deep emotional bond… I once asked her about this, she watched you from afar, sighed softly, with a complicated expression, as if hiding something…”
Lin Feng said.
“What about you?”
Senior Brother asked.
“Me?”
Lin Feng smiled self-mockingly,
He looked at the distant starry sky, his gaze growing more profound, and said:
“Senior Brother, you should leave here with Second Sister later. I will resolve the remaining matters one by one…”
“What are you saying? The people from Star Gate and Harmonious Joy Sect are restless, and Old Six is still missing. How can I leave at a time like this?”
Senior Brother’s tone became much more serious.
“There’s no point in you staying here! Stop being indecisive, go search for the other three ancient talismans, then come back to help me…”
Lin Feng looked straight at Senior Brother, speaking word by word.
Senior Brother clenched and unclenched his fist,
Indeed!
Without realizing it,
He had already fallen behind his little junior brother…
In the past, he could step forward strongly, clearing all obstacles for his little junior brother,
But now he seemed to have become a burden to his little junior brother.
“Go! Find your own path. When tomorrow comes, I don’t want to see either of you…”
After speaking,
Lin Feng turned and returned to his room.
Senior Brother stared blankly at Lin Feng’s closed door, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart.
At this moment,
Second Sister suddenly grabbed his hand from behind, saying softly:
“Actually, Little Junior Brother told me a lot too. He’s right, the two of us staying here serves no purpose anymore. To put it bluntly, we’re just burdens…”
“Take care, Little Junior Brother!”
Senior Brother said heavily.
After taking one last look at Lin Feng’s room, he resolutely took Second Sister’s hand and disappeared into the vast night sky.
…….
Lin Feng leaned against his door, feeling a tightness in his nose.
For some reason,
He suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart, as if something precious had been lost. This feeling was unbearable, like a bone-deep ache that couldn’t be driven away…
“Perhaps, this is the best decision…”
Lin Feng smiled bitterly,
He walked to the bed and sat cross-legged, wanting to start cultivation, but couldn’t concentrate. Instead, he opened his long-unused phone and began reading the downloaded web novels.
He read through the night, and his depressed mood improved somewhat.
……
Early the next morning.
Outside the inn, clear sounds of commotion could be heard.
“Lin Feng, come out and face death…”
A cold voice spread across half of Star City, reaching Lin Feng’s ears.
The crowd outside grew even more tumultuous.
Countless whispered discussions rose and fell, as if every cultivator in Star City had gathered there.
“Have they come?”
Lin Feng wasn’t surprised,
He turned off his phone, his expression calm, and walked out of the inn.
The moment he stepped out,
“Boom!”
A terrifying pressure swept toward him, like imperial might, possessing an matchless momentum, seeking to sweep away all enemies under heaven, making all beings bow and submit under this pressure!
……
