Chapter 2 Long time no see

[You held A-Ruan's hand in front of other children and told everyone that A-Ruan was your best friend. This move began to make other children take the initiative to accept A-Ruan. ]

[At the age of eight, you got the news. A-Ruan's family was leaving here and going to a faraway place. A-Ruan told you that they were going to deep space to conduct research on life sciences, which was the work of Aunt Mei and Uncle Ruan. You told your parents about this and said that you wanted to go with them, but they firmly disagreed with your request. ]

[So, on the day before A-Ruan left, you gave her a hand-made Ruanqin with plum blossoms carved on it. ]

[At the age of nine, A-Ruan was gone. Although you always felt empty in your heart, you also set a goal at the same time—to become a life scientist and have the opportunity to work with A-Ruan in the future. ]

[At the age of ten, you asked your parents about A-Ruan while working towards your goal. ]

[At the age of eleven, you graduated from the private school with the first place. A swordsman saw your talent for swordsmanship and wanted you to learn swordsmanship from him. You wanted to refuse, but he deceived you by saying that he had countless books at home. If you learned swordsmanship from him, he could find someone to help guide your research on life sciences. ]

[At the age of twelve, your swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds under his guidance. ]

[At the age of thirteen, you defeated your fellow disciples and became a famous young genius. Your master gave you an ancient sword, which you named "Nameless". ]

[At the age of fourteen, you joined the army under the recommendation of your master and honed your character in the army. ]

Before that, your life had been smooth sailing.

However, all this changed when you were fifteen years old.

[At the age of fifteen, a star core landed on this land, and then a large-scale antimatter army also came to this planet and began to slaughter all living things indiscriminately. Your mother was killed by the army in this disaster, and your father's arm was cut off by the army in the riot. ]

[After the initial chaos and turmoil, the army began to organize resistance. Your father sold all the property he had earned from business over the years and donated it to the refugees and the resistance army in the disaster area. Then, despite your opposition, he joined the spontaneously formed resistance army. ]

[At the age of sixteen, the battle between the two sides lasted for a long time. But those antimatter legions were like insects that could never be crushed to death, constantly attacking the remaining territory of mankind. ]

[One day, you saw your father's name on the list of casualties on the front line. The resistance army he was in was formed by local militia. In a battle to defend the city at the border, they all died in order to hold on until the support arrived. ]

[At the age of seventeen, you found the source of this disaster - the star core. The master who led you into the sword path was ordered to destroy the star core. But when you saw him again, you found that he had been bewitched by the star core and became another person. ]

[Many of your fellow brothers were killed by the master. You stood in front of him, looking at the stumps on the ground, thinking of the past, your heart was broken. As his direct disciple, you are familiar with his swordsmanship and know his swordsmanship, so it is reasonable for you to end it all. ]

[Even if you created your own swordsmanship and are invincible in your generation. He is just a young genius, and you still have no power to resist the contemporary sword master. There are only two choices left in front of you. Either avoid his edge, the price is that your master will kill countless people during this period. Or fight to the last moment, but the result is likely to be death, and the hero will never die. ]

[The time left for you to choose is very short. In the end, you followed your sensibility and chose the latter. ]

[The setting sun is like blood. Even if you know all the moves of your master, your lack of experience still makes you lose. ]

[The long sword pierced your chest, and the strong suffocation and stabbing pain almost paralyzed your nerves. But you still held the sword, trying to delay even for a second. ]

[At the last moment of his life, blood kept dripping down the blade that had already been stained red. ]

[In a trance, you were in the void, and the "protecting" Amber King cast a glance at you. ]

[The golden energy made you unable to feel the pain of being pierced through your body for a short time. You coughed up a mouthful of blood, used up the last bit of your strength, raised "Wuming" above your head, and slashed forward...]

...

Bai Heng knelt on one knee on the sea of ​​blood and corpses piled up by the remains of the antimatter army and the corpses of his former comrades and brothers. His vision was completely obscured by blood and became blurred.

He held the long sword embedded in the ground tightly with both hands, and his body trembled constantly. Every time he gasped, blood would flow out of his internal organs.

Bai Heng knew his physical condition, so he did not pull out the sword that pierced his chest, but just silently waited for the arrival of death.

Looking back on the past three years, he lost his parents, friends, comrades, and even all his loved ones, and finally... killed his master with his own hands.

In the end, he was the only one left.

Gradually, Bai Heng felt a little tired, his eyelids were heavy, and he could no longer open his eyes.

His thoughts began to drift, and he seemed to have returned to his childhood.

In the warm little house, there was snow in the yard, incense burners were lit in the corridor, and plates of exquisite snacks were placed in wooden boxes.

Bai Heng would shake plum blossoms in the yard, and his father would hold a broom and chase him who was disobedient.

He got into his mother's arms under the corridor, made faces at his father behind him, and slightly stuck out his tongue.

When his father didn't even care about his mother's face, Bai Heng grabbed the plum blossoms he had just picked up from the tree, ran to A Ruan's house, and pinned the plum blossoms to A Ruan's long hair.

He remembered again the bastard master who fooled him that there were many scriptures hidden in his home, but in fact he couldn't read a single word, and his home was full of various comic books.

There are also those brothers who always like to take him to dig bird nests, practice swords for five minutes, and play for two hours.

In the revolving lantern, Bai Heng seemed to have returned to that carefree time.

Until, a light and elegant Ruan sound rang in his ears.

Bai Heng opened his heavy eyelids, his body was still weak, and there was a stabbing pain in his chest.

His eyes stayed on the bed curtain above his head, a little erratic.

"I... am not dead?"

"Where is this?"

He covered the bandage on his chest, supported the edge of the bed with one hand, and barely sat up.

After looking around the environment, he realized that he seemed to be in a woman's boudoir.

The Ruan sound outside the house was still playing.

Bai Heng endured the pain, walked forward, and pushed the door open.

And in the courtyard facing the gate, a girl was stroking the Ruan.

She was dressed in green, with two jade hairpins tying up her hair. She had a gentle and elegant temperament. Her bare hands gently supported the strings of the Ruan. Her eyes, as deep and clear as jade, were clearly looking at the plum blossoms falling in the courtyard, but they seemed distant and ethereal.

As if she noticed Bai Heng pushing open the door, the girl came back to her senses, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face that seemed to be untouched by worldly things:

"Long time no see."
