As soon as Qingyi left, the room became quiet, or should I say empty.
My heart was a little empty, too.
A cool breeze blew in the room, and Hua Mulan appeared beside me silently, grabbing my sleeve with difficulty, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Xiaotian, you... shouldn't argue with him. I have already said that I will not let the ghost baby be born..."
I turned my head and looked at her, and saw the hesitation and melancholy on her face. She was as cold as a god, as if she didn't eat the fireworks of the world, but when it came to this issue, her expression was still abnormal, and there was still a trace of loneliness between her eyebrows.
I hesitated for a moment and asked her: "Don't you want to be a mother?"
Hua Mulan stopped talking.
She is good at hiding her emotions, but when she talks about this, even if she has a good heart, she can't help but tremble slightly.
It can be seen that she wants to do it, she dreams of it! !
Perhaps, when she made the promise to Qingyi, she really didn't want the ghost baby to come into this world, so, after becoming a yin-yang couple, for a very long time, there seemed to be a gap between her and me...!
An unbridgeable gap!
This gap is life and death, yin and yang, rules, and moral principles!
She couldn't give birth to a child for me, so she has been avoiding it, and our relationship has always been in name only!
However, love is probably the most difficult thing in the world to talk about, and how can you really let yourself do it?
Who wants to fall into the prison of love? But who can escape a fate!
I didn't escape, and she didn't escape either. After all, what was supposed to happen still had to happen.
"Since it has happened, let's do what we want! Ghost baby? What kind of existence is a ghost baby born by a spirit ghost? Who has ever seen one? Since ancient times, spirit ghosts have been rare, and combining with yang people is unheard of. Regarding ghost babies, it's just an unfounded speculation by some delusional lunatics with a serious lack of security. Because they are afraid, the spirit ghosts are already very powerful. If they combine with the extreme yang energy of yang people to produce life, it is the most primitive life form produced by the fusion of yin and yang. It must be extremely powerful, and I am afraid that the life form is far superior to us. Out of fear, those delusional lunatics began to say that the ghost babies were evil. At the beginning, I might believe what Qingyi and others said, but step by step to now, I am no longer the young boy who knew nothing when I first got started, and I have my own understanding of these things. Those lies can't fool me!
Good and evil are determined by fate!
One thought of goodness is Buddha; one thought of evil is devil!
Who can tell the exact boundary between them? "
I gently pulled up Hua Mulan's hand, closed my eyes, and said slowly after a long time: "My father's revenge has been avenged. I don't want to be bound by anything in the rest of my life. They say I'm a devil, so I am a devil. After all... I want to live for myself! No one can put shackles around my neck again, not even Qingyi. His righteous way is not my righteous way. He is willing to die for the peace of the Yin and Yang worlds, but I just want to go forward for the people I love. Our conflict... has been there for a long time. It will come sooner or later, so it's better to come earlier!"
These words have been suppressed in my chest for a long time. Qingyi always tries to put his way on me, but he doesn't know that I also have my way.
We are both right, but we have different beliefs.
Hua Mulan fell silent. After a long time, she finally nodded slowly. Without saying a word, she leaned on my shoulder silently, with a faint fragrance emanating from her hair.
It was the first time she showed such a look. I was stiff all over. I was not used to it at the beginning. After a long time, I finally got used to it and gently held her in my arms.
At least, at this moment, my heart was peaceful.
After staying in the bedroom for a while, the smell of food came from the living room. I guess Lin Qing and others had packed up the food. Thinking that we were about to set off, I didn't know if I could have a hot meal when I entered Zhongtiao Mountain. I didn't want to miss the meal, so I took Hua Mulan out.
She didn't want to at first. I just had a disagreement with Qingyi because of her. She didn't want to appear in front of Qingyi at this time. In the end, I was forced to go out.
She is my wife, no matter what time!
Friendships made in poverty should not be forgotten, and a wife who has lived through hardships should not be divorced. Only in this way can one be loyal and never abandon!
Even if I have to be enemies with the world because of her, I will not have the slightest complaint, because I have no regrets. Forcibly interfering with my feelings is Qingyi's fault!
However, after leaving the bedroom, Qingyi's face was no longer happy or sad. He looked calm from beginning to end, as if the disagreement in the bedroom had never happened.
I know that he doesn't want others to see the brothers' dispute!
So, he didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything either.
In short, the atmosphere of this meal has been quite weird. Qingyi and I didn't say anything, and Yun Zhongzi and Lin Qing didn't say anything either. It was extremely quiet!
After the meal, Yun Zhongzi talked about the issue of joining up with the Cao family, saying that it was getting late and that everything that should be prepared was almost complete, so we could find the Cao family and set off.
Of course, I couldn't call the three grandsons of the Cao family. In the end, it was Qingyi who contacted me. He seems to be the most suitable candidate now. Between me and the Cao family, I really need someone like him to ease the fierce conflict.
After Qingyi called, the Cao family responded very quickly. People came around noon.
However, there was one less familiar face among the three people, and one more new face!
Cao Gui and Cao Lan are still there, but Li Wei is no longer there. It seems that he will not participate in this mission.
I guess he can't participate even if he wants to!
The corpse poison of the blood ghost corpse is not easy to solve, especially since Chen Yu directly pierced the grandson's artery. The corpse poison enters along the artery, and the blood flow is the fastest. Once it enters, it won't take long for the corpse poison to enter the body very deeply. He is incurable and even the king of heaven can't save him!
The Cao family could only swallow this loss. I guess they definitely can't bring it up now because they themselves are too embarrassed!
However, Li Wei is gone, but a strong young man has come to replace him.
When we met again, Cao Gui's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn. He was no longer sarcastic, but lowered his eyebrows and spoke respectfully, as if he really regarded me as the captain. After bringing the strong young man in, he came up to introduce the boy to me.
Cao Gui said that the strong young man's name was Cao Xiaoqi, and he was from their Cao family. He didn't have any skills, but he had a lot of strength. This time he brought eight brothers to help. He couldn't do anything else, but he could do some physical work and obey my orders at any time. His other eight brothers were waiting outside, and they didn't dare to come in without my nod.
This Cao Xiaoqi was the person who replaced Li Wei. The reason for the replacement was very simple-Li Wei was sick and couldn't continue to perform the mission.
This is just bullshit to save face for both sides. We both know what's going on with Li Wei. I don't bother to talk nonsense with Cao Guiduo. My eyes fell directly on Cao Xiaoqi. To be honest, this guy really scared me.
He is not very old and not very tall. He has a typical southern physique. He is less than 1.7 meters tall, but very strong. His arms are very long, almost reaching his knees. It is too contrary to biological common sense. It seems that he has not evolved completely, just like a gorilla. Especially the temples are protruding!
This kind of person is definitely a master of external kung fu, and his hands and feet are very capable!
The most frightening thing is his hands!
What kind of hands are these?
The length ratio of the five fingers is very exaggerated compared to normal people. The thumb and index finger are not long, but they are covered with calluses, especially the base of the thumb. There is a thick layer of yellow calluses, but the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are particularly long.
Lin Qing had told me about this kind of person before. He is definitely an expert with guns!
It seems that Cao Xiaoqi and his eight brothers outside are the ones sent by the Cao family to deal with me?
This is also within my expectations.
Cao Gui and the other three kept forcing me to test me, but I killed one of them and injured two of them. It is impossible for the Cao family not to react. They know that my strength is beyond their expectations. If they don't make a plan for the next step, are they waiting for me to kill Cao Gui, the second in command?
This, I expected a long time ago!
It is obvious that Cao Xiaoqi is the tough guy that the Cao family sent to me!
I sneered in my heart, but I exchanged a few words with the Cao family, and then went out with the Cao family.
When I went out, I saw that there were indeed eight strong men in black standing outside. They were elite at first glance!
Needless to say, these should be the men brought by Cao Xiaoqi.
But since they were here, I wasn't afraid. I smiled and got into the car with Lin Qing. Qingyi and Yun Zhongzi got into the car of the Cao family because there were more cars on the Cao family side.
As soon as we got in the car, Lin Qing slammed the door fiercely, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said to me: "They sent the evil spirit Cao Xiaoqi. It seems that the Cao family is really angry this time and is ready to tear their faces apart and kill us in Zhongtiao Mountain."
