Chapter 97: The Moon No Longer Shines Upon the Usual Person (Large Chapter)_5
Seeing the other party's silence, Bian Jingru snorted coldly and swept away in his robes.
He had many matters to handle.
This day's event was only the beginning, not the end!
...
Time ticked away, and the round moon hung high in the sky.
Hao Yi had been strolling with Shangguan Xiao for hours, chatting from daylight into the dark night.
At a certain moment, Hao Yi suddenly stopped.
Shangguan Xiao's expression changed, her body tensing up.
Hao Yi raised his head to look at the moon overhead.
He had once read in a miscellaneous book a theory that the moon is very far away from people; its light, departing from the moon, might take many years to travel this distance before it bathes someone in its glow.
What a strange notion.
But at this moment, as the moonlight shone on Hao Yi, he seemed to truly feel the passage of time.
Many years ago, he, too, might have looked up at the night's moon and seen a ray of light.
He had vowed to change the world.
Time flowed like water, and decades flashed by in a blink.
The light he had seen in the sky all those years ago had finally completed its long journey and now fell upon him...
Li Fei, who had been kneeling and quietly waiting, suddenly felt a strong fluctuation coming from the distant mountains and forests.
This fluctuation was just like the one he had previously sensed from Hao Yi.
This was the power of Refining Objects Divine Power!
"Why is the teacher using Refining Objects Divine Power again? Could it be that he's encountered an enemy?"
Li Fei suddenly stood up from the ground, grasping the newly refined Ghost Slash Blade, and strode toward the source of the fluctuation.
After a moment, he found the place and saw from a distance Shangguan Xiao sitting on the ground, her back leaning against a huge rock, while Hao Yi wasn't by her side.
Li Fei's heart tightened, and he hurried over.
"Aunt Master? What happened? Where is Master?"
As he got closer, his heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
Because Shangguan Xiao was closing her eyes with a serene smile on her face.
Li Fei didn't feel the slightest breath coming from her.
"Aunt Master..."
Li Fei called out tremulously.
He approached Shangguan Xiao step by step and suddenly knelt down before her.
Shangguan Xiao was holding a fiery red bead in her hand, and behind her, the rock was inscribed with words.
Li Fei looked up:
"Xiao Fei, I once promised your master, no matter where he went, to the ends of the earth, I'd accompany him, so I've gone with him.
The bead in my hand is the last thing your master left you; at the last moment of his life, he used the Refining Objects Divine Power to refine his Tao Foundation [Steel Core], thereby condensing it into a Superpower Seed.
If you one day master [Mixed Element Heavenly Gold], this Superpower Seed will fit very well with your Tao Foundation. When you take it at that time, you have a good chance of inheriting your master's Divine Skills.
Xiao Fei, your master's last mention of you, he wished me to tell you, don't let hatred lose yourself, to walk your own path.
Lastly, find a place where you won't be disturbed and bury your master and me together."
Many years ago, that little girl, led away by her father from Datong Prefecture, had met Hao Yi. Later, she accompanied Hao Yi back to Datong Prefecture City to make a name for herself, then resolutely broke with her family to run around with Hao Yi, and finally went together to Xing City.
Now, she had once again accompanied him to a distant place...
Having read the words left on the rock, Li Fei's tears flowed freely.
Then he began to weep loudly.
It was the first time he had cried out loud since he came to this world.
The moonlight shone quietly upon him.
The moon of the present no longer illuminated the people of the past.
From now on, he would walk his path alone.
...
A monthly ticket, please.
Note 1: From the initial design of the character Hao Yi, he only had a few years of life left, so I thought the best arrangement for him was to succeed in his Breakthrough and die in a glorious battle afterward.
A man like him shouldn't die slowly in his bed, watching helplessly as the world grew worse and unable to change anything.
Lastly, this volume will end with one final climax~
