NOVEL NEXT Chapter 37: I want to hear the truth.
Behind the Xingling Scroll is the Lord of the Xingling. When it helped her, it was actually the Lord of the Xingling who was helping her. Lan Zhi couldn't think of what to pray for at that moment, so she silently recited in her heart, "Lord of the Xingling, thank you. May the Filth Abyss be free of filth and may the Xingling be peaceful forever." Almost instantly, Xing Zhi heard her prayer. He knew that she probably wouldn't pray for wealth, power or cultivation level. But when he heard her make such a wish, he was still a bit surprised. "May the Filth Abyss be free of filth, and may the Xingling be peaceful forever..." He turned his head to look at her. The Sentiment Tower stood tall. Against the backdrop of the Sentiment Tower, Lan Zhi's figure looked so tiny. Even the memorial archway in front of her, the incense burner, and even the candles on the incense burner were much bigger than her. But as a being with a spirit of all things, her consciousness surpassed all these things that were bigger than her. She saw the world. He slightly closed his eyes and then opened them again. There was a faint power of heaven and earth in his low whisper: "May your wish come true." After Lan Zhi finished burning the incense and turned around, she unexpectedly met Xing Zhi's gaze. He was standing under the ginkgo tree beside her, looking at her with a deep and mysterious gaze, as if he could see deep into her heart through her eyes. Lan Zhi was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" Xing Zhi lowered his eyes and said, "I was wondering what wish you made." Lan Zhi casually said, "World peace." Xing Zhi asked, "Why?" Seeing that he was asking seriously, Lan Zhi couldn't help smiling and said, "When you don't know what to wish for, you can wish for world peace. This wish is never wrong." Xing Zhi wasn't quite satisfied with this answer and said, "I want to hear the truth." Lan Zhi fell silent. The two of them stood under the tree, watching cultivators constantly coming to the incense burner to burn incense, pray and then leave. After a while, Lan Zhi let out a soft sigh and said, "Once, I wanted to pray for a lot of things during the time when I was doing tasks... That was really a lonely time. I couldn't even find anyone to talk to. The only thing that accompanied me was the scroll totem. So I would pray to it whenever I had the chance." She shook her head, a bit sentimental and said, "Now that I think about it, my praying to it is actually no different from everyone burning incense and praying at the Sentiment Tower." Xing Zhi showed that he didn't understand and said, "You should know that the gods won't respond to you." Lan Zhi smiled and said, "It's actually better that they won't respond. Then we don't have to expect their responses and won't be in pain because we don't get any responses. But the gods know everything and are everywhere. So we subconsciously think that even if they don't respond, they can still hear us. In this way, we can freely vent our inner desires and firmly believe that they will silently help us get everything." Xing Zhi seemed to be deep in thought and asked, "Is it the same for you?" Lan Zhi paused for a moment and tapped the fallen ginkgo leaves on the ground with the tip of her shoe and said, "Me... It's pretty much the same." She was outside the Xingling Continent. No matter how powerful the Lord of the Xingling was, it was impossible for Him to hear her prayers. So, her prayers were more like self-comfort. But these words weren't suitable to be said out loud. Since Xing Zhi hadn't heard her speak for a long time, he realized that she didn't want to talk much about this aspect. He didn't force her and instead asked, "May I know what you prayed for during that time?" If possible, He was willing to fulfill her wishes. As a way to help her. Lan Zhi had originally wanted to change the topic to avoid it, but accidentally met Xing Zhi's eyes. His eyes were full of tolerance. At that instant, she somehow felt that it seemed that everything that fell into his eyes could receive his absolute care. At this moment, she was in his eyes.
