Chapter 158 The Road To The Future Is Bright And Bright
Chapter 158: A Bright Future Lies Ahead
Zhang Chi came clean and revealed his feelings of betrayal towards his master. Jiang Qingyun was also prepared to come clean and share her own past.
She could have chosen to keep it hidden, but she didn't want to.
Deep down, she knew that if she kept silent, no one would ever know about her past.
But when a woman becomes emotional, she loses all rationality.
That's how love works.
She knew that Zhang Chi might have a hard time accepting her past, but she was stuck in a dilemma. She felt that if she couldn't show Zhang Chi her true self, their relationship would not be genuine.
A relationship built on lies can never be true love.
She was always anxious about her past, but deep down, she had a glimmer of hope.
She hoped that even after knowing everything about her, Zhang Chi would still love her the same.
She never considered that if she revealed everything, Zhang Chi would be in a difficult position.
Leaving aside everything else, just the matter of Sword Sect, if Zhang Chi pretended not to know the truth, he could continue leading his junior disciples in their fight.
But once the truth was exposed, how could he lead them with any dignity?
So, when Jiang Qingyun was about to speak, Zhang Chi suddenly reached out and embraced her.
"Master, don't say it."
"Why? Are you afraid?"
Jiang Qingyun's heart sank. Zhang Chi's resistance made her feel that if she spoke up, she might not get the outcome she hoped for, and it might even be the outcome she feared.
Zhang Chi couldn't accept the real her.
"What do you think is real?"
"Real is..."
Jiang Qingyun thought that real was quite simple, but when she tried to explain the definition seriously, she didn't know how to describe it.
"Real is the opposite of fake. The you I'm holding right now, is it fake?"
"Of course not."
"Then the current you is real. I can feel your soft waist, your heartbeat, and your affection. They are all real."
Zhang Chi led Jiang Qingyun into a logical trap, but before she could figure out the flaws, Zhang Chi's words made her feel both embarrassed and annoyed.
What soft waist? You rebel, how dare you take advantage of this moment of disobedience.
"Let go of me!"
Jiang Qingyun struggled in shame, but Zhang Chi held onto her hand and placed it on his chest.
"Master, you can feel my beating heart, and it's also real."
Zhang Chi was smooth-talking.
Today, I'm going to charm everyone to death.
Only Jiang Qingyun didn't find it greasy. She could feel Zhang Chi's heartbeat, and her own heartbeat gradually sped up. Their heartbeats gradually synchronized.
"Everyone has their own past, and from the moment a person is born, they are not in control.
Perhaps the master has committed serious mistakes in the past, but that doesn't mean the current you is not real.
The past cannot be changed, but the future is bright. Master, let's not dwell on the past and focus on the present, okay?"
After a series of sweet talk and a heartfelt confession, Jiang Qingyun was starting to lose her bearings.
She felt that Zhang Chi was right.
The past is in the past, and there's no need to bring it up.
Zhang Chi likes the present her, so why force him to like the past her?
But... the future may not be so bright.
Her path is destined to be filled with bloodshed and carnage.
Calculating against the downstream Four Sects and fighting against the Water Monster, condensing the demonic heart, is just the first step.
In the future, she will do even more terrible things.
Jiang Qingyun knows right from wrong, but she has no choice.
People on the righteous path can choose to continue on that path or fall into the demonic path.
But once someone has fallen into the demonic path, it's hard to turn back.
If she had met Zhang Chi decades earlier, maybe she could have turned back.
Zhang Chi was right. It's pointless to overthink. The most important thing is to grasp the truth of the present.
Zhang Chi didn't give her much time to think and ponder. If she had more time to think, what if she figured it out?
He lowered his head and kissed Jiang Qingyun's forehead.
Jiang Qingyun felt shy in her heart and wanted to dodge, but in the end, she just closed her eyes.
"Master, I'm so happy."
Just kiss and be done with it. Why do you need to express your thoughts?
Do I, as your master, have to encourage you to continue?
Hey, don't bite my ear!
[I parked a car here.]
[Alright, the car has left.]
Why is Zhang Chi so skilled at this?
How much did that woman, Tang Ruoling, teach him?
Two hours passed, and Zhang Chi used various techniques. In the end, both of them were exhausted and lying on the bed, looking up at the sky.
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Qingyun pondered for a moment and decided to bid farewell to Zhang Chi.
She had considered leaving without saying anything, but that would be too cruel to Zhang Chi.
Speaking up might be better.
Sure enough, Zhang Chi did not try to keep her, he just asked, "You have to leave?"
"Sword Sect is too small, Western State is also too small. After you break through the Divine Ability, you should go out and see the world. It's a big world out there."
In Jiang Qingyun's eyes, breaking through the Divine Ability seemed like something that didn't cost anything.
In reality, most cultivators can't even touch the threshold of the Divine Soul.
Being able to break through the Divine Soul realm is already very talented, but there are also many Divine Soul cultivators who are trapped in this realm and can never break through in their lifetime.
It can be seen that Jiang Qingyun is really confident in Zhang Chi.
"I will, Master, take care of yourself too."
"Don't worry about me, we will meet again in the future."
Of course, Jiang Qingyun hopes to see each other again in the future, but if they can't, she won't be so regretful.
Life is full of surprises, especially for someone like her who lives on the edge, it is difficult to determine the future.
Her words are just words.
However, Zhang Chi took out a small knife, cut off a strand of his own hair, and then cut off a strand of Jiang Qingyun's hair, dividing them into two parts and intertwining them together.
"In the mortal world, there is a custom in weddings to tie hair together to symbolize unity of hearts. Tying hair together signifies being husband and wife, with unwavering love."
Zhang Chi took out two sachets from his storage ring, put the hair inside, and solemnly gave one to Jiang Qingyun.
"We are not husband and wife."
Jiang Qingyun denied it arrogantly.
Zhang Chi remained calm and said seriously, "In my heart, we already are."
Jiang Qingyun accepted the sachet, still being arrogant.
"You may not think so, but I have the final say. But the gift is your intention, so I will accept it."
She carefully put the sachet into her storage ring, but Zhang Chi approached her again.
"Master, I'm leaving tomorrow. Can you accompany me a little longer?"
"..."
[...]
Jiang Qingyun's departure did not alarm anyone. She left before the first ray of dawn arrived.
She didn't wake up Zhang Chi when she left, so as to avoid any difficult farewells.
Finally, she took one last look at Zhang Chi's sleeping face before using her escape technique to leave the room.
"This journey is complete. I can leave here without any worries."
Jiang Qingyun took out a magic mirror and had a conversation with it.
The person in the magic mirror had a numb expression and coldly commented, "It's complete, and it's also fulfilling."
"???"
Jiang Qingyun didn't understand at first, but when she realized it, she became red with anger.
She thought the magic mirror would give her some new directions, but instead it started with harsh words.
How could she face the word "fulfilling" in the future?
"After experiencing all this, it is indeed a good thing. I hope you won't be entangled in worldly love in the future. Let's go to the Eastern Continent next. Central State is too complicated. You have stayed in Central State before, so you should know that the world you have encountered is just the tip of the iceberg."
Jiang Qingyun deeply agreed with this point.
Central Continent is the most prosperous place among the five continents, with countless Immortal Gate sects and cultivation families.
Because there are so many, the areas controlled by individual families and sects are actually not large at all. They can't control as much territory as the Dragon River sects.
Western State is vast but sparsely populated, while Central State is densely populated.
Just this point alone, it's not easy to survive in Central State. Everyone is going crazy competing with each other.
In fact, they could choose to develop in the three northeastern states, but with the strength of people from Central State, it is not difficult to achieve this.
But they don't want to go. Central State is prosperous, while other states are relatively quiet. Even if they know that living and cultivating in a smaller place would be more comfortable, many people still want to enter Central State.
They don't mind a little hardship as long as there is an opportunity.
With more people, it's easier to hide one's true abilities.
Jiang Qingyun is not as arrogant as Jin Mian. She dared to challenge anyone below the Dao Integration Realm and even assassinate them, which led to her own demise.
Jiang Qingyun was no longer there at that time, so she didn't experience it firsthand.
She learned about this after Zi Mian appeared.
Stormwind Tower was destroyed, but Zi Mian is still alive and well.
This guy doesn't thank his luck and instead causes trouble everywhere.
She left a letter for Zhang Chi, as well as the bell. With Zhang Chi's intelligence, he will know what to do.
"Let's go to the Eastern Continent."
Jiang Qingyun also knows that she can't always protect Zhang Chi. They have to go their separate ways.
Hopefully, they will take different paths and meet again in the future.
At this moment, Zhang Chi is reading the letter left by Jiang Qingyun.
Someone like Jiang Qingyun wouldn't leave love words in a letter, which slightly disappointed Zhang Chi.
However, the words in the letter were enough to express Jiang Qingyun's concern for him.
It's good to have someone who cares for him like a master.
However, the soul-calming bell is useless to Zhang Chi. Zi Mian has already been enslaved, and having another bell would be a waste.
Unfortunately, he can't take off the bell and give it to someone else. Jiang Qingyun personally refined it and enchanted it onto Zi Mian. Only she can remove it.
Well, it can be considered a decoration.
Thinking this, Zhang Chi burned the letter. At that moment, the door was suddenly knocked with great force...
