The Most Generous Master Ever - Chapter 829
829 A Heavy Story
“A bright path!”
When the veteran heard this last sentence, a trace of emotion flashed across his eyes, as if it touched his heart. The eyes of the young man in front of him were as firm as his master back then. He carried the ideals of many people and advanced with difficulty.
“Understood…” After a long time, the veteran let out a long sigh. He finally understood his master’s intentions. “Child, you have a gaze similar to my master’s. I firmly believe that in the future, you will definitely become a hero like my master.
“Perhaps this is the reason why my lord chose you. Back then, we brothers followed our master to sweep through the Dark Forbidden Area and resist the heavens. The last time he came back from the forbidden area, Master disappeared. He completely disappeared from our world.
“At that moment, the faith in our hearts completely collapsed, leaving only a soulless, incomplete body dragging a heavy body out of the forbidden area. None of us know where Master went. His departure without saying goodbye indicates that our distant dream has been completely shattered.”
The veteran recounted the story back then with tears in his eyes. Ye Qiu was speechless as he listened to such a heavy and sad story.
Ming Yue’s emotions seemed to resonate. There was a tear in the corner of her eye and she couldn’t help but clench Ye Qiu’s hands.
Just like how the veterans back then were bitterly searching for the figure that supported them in the dark world.
Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu’s disappearance completely shattered their faith. All their previous efforts were gone.
In the end, dust to dust, sand to sand.
The lonely hero was finally buried on this Netherworld Path and became a sleeping skeleton here. He had held on for countless days and nights, wanting to see that figure again, walking over from the other side and seeing the veterans one last time.
Unfortunately, this wish was destined to become a regret.
However, to his joy, Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu was not dead. He was still alive, but he was still in the darkness, fighting against the strangeness.
This was the best news the veteran had heard in so many years. As long as his master was still alive, it proved that their ideals had yet to perish. When his emotions reached the depths, tears flowed uncontrollably. The veteran told many stories about what they had experienced.
Ye Qiu listened silently as a listener. He didn’t interrupt the veteran. Because perhaps in this long period of time, he was too lonely. He had many things to say in his heart. Ye Qiu happened to be a good listener.
After an unknown period of time, the veteran finally finished his story and his emotions gradually eased.
However, Ye Qiu understood that although his story was over, his own story was far from over. History was as vast as the sea. The legend of the Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu stopped at the upper reaches of the long river of history, but this era belonged to Ye Qiu.
His story had just begun!
Ye Qiu didn’t know what kind of difficulties he would encounter in the future, nor did he know what kind of outcome would be worthy of this journey.
As long as one was determined, the day would definitely come when the clouds parted.
“Whew,” The veteran let out a long sigh of relief. His eyes seemed to have become much dimmer. He looked at Ye Qiu and begged sincerely, “Child, I’ve never begged anyone in my life, but today, I want to ask you for something.”
“Senior, please speak.”
“If one day, you can really grow to the point where you can resist the injustice of the world and break the darkness. I hope you can not forget your original intention and continue our seemingly unreachable and humble dream.”
Hearing these heavy words, Ye Qiu’s body trembled and he was a little moved. The veteran’s sincere plea made Ye Qiu unable to refuse. This group of men who had fought their entire lives for an unreachable dream were filled with romanticism.
What was extreme romance? Perhaps this was extreme romance, a romance that belonged to a group of men alone. For an impossible dream, a group of like-minded men gathered together and fought for half their lives.
Although this outcome was regretful, the mental impact their experience had on the future generations was indelible.
“Alright!” Ye Qiu agreed and only replied with a single word. It seemed like a simple answer, but it was so heavy.
The veteran smiled. At this moment, he seemed to see hope. He saw a rising star taking this rod that symbolized inheritance from them.
What other regrets did he have?
“Haha!” Laughing loudly, the veteran’s regret was truly relieved. After a long time, he looked at Ye Qiu and Ming Yue, who was holding Ye Qiu’s hand tightly, and silently nodded. “Good, very good. A perfect match.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ming Yue blushed slightly and felt a little embarrassed.
Ye Qiu happily accepted this evaluation and was very proud. He was thick-skinned and didn’t think much of it.
The veteran continued, “I saw that you were inseparable and accompanied each other along the way. When you encounter danger, you could consider each other’s safety immediately. I’m very gratified. I hope you can always continue like this. No matter how stormy the future is, you will never leave each other and be each other’s most trusted support.”
“Senior, don’t worry. We will.”
This time, it wasn’t Ye Qiu who answered, but Ming Yue. Her eyes were incomparably firm in response. Because they had already experienced many hardships along the way. There were no more difficulties in this world that could separate them.
Ye Qiu looked at her in a daze and didn’t say anything. However, he was already indescribably touched. What could make this stubborn and incomparably proud girl say such things?
“Yes, I’m sure you will, because I can already see the answer I want in your eyes. Child, although I can’t see your past clearly, I can vaguely guess that you’re also a person with a powerful background. Perhaps in the future, you can really help him. Only you can help him. I hope you can remember what I said today.”
After the veteran finished speaking, he stopped talking about this topic. These words were silently left in Ming Yue’s heart and fermented.
Am I the only one who can help him? Ming Yue looked up at Ye Qiu’s clear eyes and fell into deep thought.
“Alright! Let’s cut the crap and get back to the topic. Do you know what this path you’re walking on leads to?” After a while, the veteran finally broke the stalemate and spoke.
“Netherworld!” Ming Yue frowned and replied.
“That’s right, it’s the Netherworld. The end of this path is the end of death. You should be glad that you met me here. Otherwise, what awaits you will be endless darkness.”
