15. Chapter 15 Parting
Regarding this matter, the elders tried every means to keep him. Unfortunately, no one could keep him.
At this moment, everyone was gathering in front of the mountain gate to say goodbye to him. It is said that almost all Xuantian Sect came. Even if an elder was about to travel far, there might not be so many people coming.
Chu Tianyao has always respected Gong Tianying very much, so he naturally would not miss it. Ye Shuo also took the opportunity to be lazy and pestered him to bring him with him.
In front of the mountain gate.
"Tianying, do you really have to leave? Can't you think about it anymore?" A gray-bearded elder held Gong Tianying's hand and persuaded with great thought. "If it was because of An Yun, I'll persuade him, just stay here with peace of mind."
Gong Tianying, who was still wearing a black robe, stood in front of the mountain gate. His figure was tranced and merged with the floating clouds and distant mountains behind him, as if he would return by the wind at any time. And the eyes of the elder in front of him were even more bleak.
Although he was looking at the elder, his eyes seemed to have passed the elder and stayed in an unknown distant place.
"Elder, you misunderstood. This is not about An Yun's business. But I have encountered some bottlenecks in my cultivation recently. I hope to go down the mountain and take a look at the natural path, and maybe find an opportunity to break through."
"You...ah, okay! If there is anything wrong with you outside, remember to come back!" The elders looked like they were saying goodbye to a wanderer who was about to travel far away.
"I can do it, elders, take care of themselves." Gong Tianyingqing smiled faintly. Thinking of the smile on this familiar handsome face, it would soon be impossible to see it, which made the elders sigh again.
After the elders left one after another, a thin male disciple walked forward and handed a bag-like thing on both hands.
"Senior Brother Tianying, thank you for your care over the years. I have nothing to give you. This storage bag is the most precious thing on me. Please be sure to accept it! Even if it is kept as a souvenir!"
After this disciple, all kinds of men and women came forward one after another: "Senior Brother Tianying, this is a purse I sewed with myself."
"Senior Brother Tianying, this is the amulet I asked for..."
"Senior Brother Tianying, this is my usual magic weapon. I will give you a souvenir."
"Senior Brother Tianying..."
After these disciples left, Ye Shuo, who had been holding them in for a long time, couldn't help but speak, "Senior Brother Tianying, although you have encountered some bottlenecks in your cultivation and went down the mountain, we all know that you want to leave for An Yun, right?" Seeing Gong Tianying silent, Ye Shuo was even more excited: "Why? Although you promised him that the loser left the Xuantian Sect from now on, even the Great Elder said that your competition will not be determined by the outcome. Take a step back, even if there must be one person leaving, he should be the one who left! It's not you!"
After hearing Ye Shuo's words, Gong Tianying's eyes became dazed for a moment, and then they were as cold as usual, but the traces of sadness remained like a shadow: "This is what I owe him. In fact, even without this battle, I had already planned to leave. But I didn't expect that he would die with me for the sake of his junior sister...
The grudges between us cannot be resolved in a short while. If I stayed in Xuantian Sect for a day, An Yun’s hatred would not be eliminated for a day, which would be detrimental to his physical recovery. I never thought that the so-called halo of genius could bring so much torture to the people around me. Perhaps only when I am gone, it would be better for everyone.”
"That's all right, Senior Brother Tianying, everyone is reluctant to part with you! Although I have just officially started to enter the Xuantian Sect recently, I admire you very much. And Senior Brother Chu, he has always respected you very much!" Ye Shuo said anxiously.
Gong Tianying ignored Ye Shuo's comfort and looked up at Chu Tianyao: "Tianyao, after I leave, I will take care of An Yun on my behalf."
He knew the worst in the spiritual world better than anyone else. Although An Yun had also shocked the audience in the sect competition, it was just his glory in the past. Now An Yun is just a useless man who can no longer practice any spiritual skills, but he still lives in the Xuantian Sect. The treatment he will be treated soon can be imagined!
Chu Tianyao nodded: "Senior Brother Tianying, don't worry. As long as I have been in this Xuantian Sect for one day, I will never let anyone treat Senior Brother An Yun unfairly!"
Gong Tianying nodded with relief, then added in a low voice: "Don't let him know what I mean."
Chu Tianyao was stunned and a burst of unspeakable sadness surged in his heart. Knowing that Gong Tianying said this, he agreed to An Yun’s hatred for him. If An Yun knew that Gong Tianying asked someone to take care of him, he would definitely not accept it. But in order for An Yun to be taken care of by someone, Gong Tianying would rather give up this opportunity to repair the misunderstanding and leave silently.
"I understand that they are all fellow brothers from the same mountain gate. Even if they don't care about anyone's face, they should have taken care of each other." Chu Tianyao finally said.
Gong Tianying raised his hand and pressed hard on Chu Tianyao's shoulder. If possible, why don't he want to stay and take care of An Yun himself? Even if he has to endure his eyes and hatred, as long as he can see him getting better day by day, he will be satisfied. However, if he continues to stay in the Xuantian Sect, even if others respect An Yun, they will definitely be for his sake. With An Yun's fragile and sensitive self-esteem, they will inevitably think that he is giving him a gift, which will make him live more painful than death.
The moment he bent down and picked up his bag and stood up, Gong Tianying's eyes involuntarily glanced at the direction of Xuanze Peak. Without surprise, the familiar figure did not appear. He smiled with a self-deprecating smile and turned around and walked down the stone steps step by step. He completely threw all the past, along with the mist and clouds surrounding the mountains.
An Yun, no matter whether you can understand it or not, you may never have the opportunity to explain to you in person in your life. But I just hope you understand that no matter what has happened, no matter what is about to happen in the future. Whether you hate me or blame me, you have always been my good brother, and you have always been.
After seeing Gong Tianying away, Ye Shuo and Chu Tianyao were walking back, and Ye Shuo felt a little lost along the way.
Finally, Ye Shuo and Chu Tianyao stopped in front of a lush tree.
"What's wrong? I've been worried all the way. Just say whatever I want." Chu Tianyao looked at Ye Shuo.
"I'm just thinking about spiritual power. Sometimes, I can't control my own power. Will Senior Brother An Yun be injured like that? If it were me, then I would be so sorry for Senior Brother Gong Tianying." Ye Shuo said a little guiltyly.
Chu Tianyao laughed and said, "Where are you thinking about? An Yun was backfired by the forbidden curse at that time, and he was already at the end of his strength. Even without your attack, he would definitely not last long. Don't take it seriously."
"Ah...so..." Ye Shuo nodded, as if he was reluctant to say something, "Senior Brother Chu, I will only say this to you... Sometimes I feel that I am very similar to Senior Brother An Yun, because we are both people with mediocre qualifications and hardships around geniuses. Although I don't agree with his approach, I understand his ideas. I am really afraid that one day I will follow in his footsteps!"
Ye Shuo paused, his eyes seemed a little confused, "For some reason, when I saw Senior Brother An Yun practicing the forbidden spell, I became, well, so powerful, at that time I was only concerned about resisting with all my strength and didn't think about anything else. But these days, when I was practicing hard but there was no progress at all, I would think, I obviously worked hard, but... if there was a shortcut.
Hey, how do you say that, I actually yearn for that kind of evil magic very much. But my reason tells me again that this is not right! I have clearly watched Senior Brother An Yun destroy himself, but why can't I control myself? I dare not tell the consultant these words, but I feel like I am standing on the verge of depravity! Senior Brother Chu, I... is it very dangerous for me to have this idea?"
Ye Shuo said this, while carefully peeking at Chu Tianyao's face, preparing to stop immediately if he was unhappy, but until he finished speaking, Chu Tianyao did not show any reproach. At the same time, Ye Shuo didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he actually felt that there seemed to be a deep desire in Chu Tianyao's eyes.
"As long as you can become stronger, there is nothing wrong with evil. People will only respect you because of your powerful power, but no one will ask you about the process of gaining power! The so-called moths to the fire and destroy themselves is just because they are not strong enough!
Look at the thunder and floods that day, it is no different from a disaster for the tiny mortals! But for spiritual practitioners, it may be just a kind of spiritual skills and a battle. It is precisely because we are strong enough and we are above mortals, so we can control the real power! As for the use of evil magic to divide too powerful spiritual skills, it is just the fear of some secular ordinary people for powerful spiritual skills. They cannot understand the real pursuit of our strong people. They are afraid of the power they cannot control, and they are even more afraid to face the self who is always in the same place!
I am ashamed to be with these short-sighted people!"
When Chu Tianyao said this, it was very different from his usual gentle and elegant image. It was a bit like An Yun who was on the ring that day, drawing the sky and the earth, and was surrounded by evil spirits.
Looking at Chu Tianyao like this, Ye Shuo didn't understand. He didn't know why the warm senior brother in the past was like this. However, Ye Shuo still persuaded him that everyone might have different ideas and different ideas. Ye Shuo did not notice that his heart began to have a small gap with Chu Tianyao at this moment, and that his attitude towards evil magic had undergone subtle changes.
