Chapter 1307 If I Hadn’t Met You (9)
Before the demons could force a smile and adjust their mood, the little human girl, no, the little lady had already jumped down from the top of Lipdos's head and landed steadily on the back of Lord Zhulong.
The demons: “!!!”
Good guy!
Everyone knows that Lord Zhulong has the worst temper. Except for Lord Mingtong, no demon is allowed to approach him.
This young human actually jumped directly onto Lord Zhulong's back?!
It's over.
The fight is about to begin!
Unexpectedly, Zhulong just flicked his tail lightly and tacitly allowed the young human to approach.
The demons looked at each other, as if they were a little confused about the current situation, until this gentleman spoke.
"Master, Little Master, are you all right?"
Ming Tong sighed softly, walked up to Ji Wushuang, and asked, "Why did you come?"
Ji Wushuang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted me to live freely? I wanted to come, so I came."
Mingtong's eyes were slightly red: "You... don't you know the consequences of coming here?"
"I know."
"I knew you'd still come! Those guys... Anyway, get out of here!"
Mingtong's expression turned cold, and she wanted to drive Ji Wushuang away, but Ji Wushuang grasped her hand and whispered, "Master... I thought a lot about why you came to me, why you accepted me as your apprentice, why you devoted yourself to teaching me swordsmanship, etc. Did you... see something? About me, right?"
Ever since he knew that Mingtong was the demon Wentian, Ji Wushuang had thought about it a lot. There were countless pieces of information and speculations, but in the final analysis, Ji Wushuang guessed that it should be about her "future".
She also doesn't know what kind of person she will become in the future, maybe a good person? Or maybe a villain?
But whether good or evil, they will never be "mediocre".
Just like she is now, she has entered the realm of semi-saint and has the power to easily kill void monsters and influence the outcome of battles.
But even though she helped the Demon Realm drive away the invasion of Guixu, Mingtong still looked unhappy...
This means that her future may not be very good.
Mingtong stood there in a daze, speechless for a long time.
"Master, why don't you just tell me directly? I can accept it."
"..."
After an unknown amount of time, Mingtong finally gave a wry smile and said, "You are indeed a smart child..."
She set up a formation around her to ensure that her conversation with Ji Wushuang would not be overheard by others, and then she whispered, "Do you know the situation the world is facing now?"
"You mean the Guixu invasion?"
"Yes."
Mingtong slowly raised her eyes and whispered, "The three sacred trees have vanished, the human continent has crumbled, a Guixu rift has appeared on the demon continent, the spirit world is closed and sealed, the Guixu Sea is boiling again, and so on and so forth... everything points to an inevitable end. And we... yes, I mean all of us who ask the sky, have seen the same figure. When all the stars are extinguished and all living things fall, only that figure stands amidst the torrent of death and the ruins of Guixu..."
Ji Wushuang was stunned for a long time, then said in a hoarse voice: "You mean... that's... me?"
Mingtong said hoarsely: "You do have the same aura..."
Ji Wushuang: "..." There is no doubt that Mingtong was referring to the special aura on her body after she returned from the Nether Sea.
So when she was at Ji's house before, Mingtong didn't come to see her.
Instead, she only "confirmed" her after she returned from the Nether Sea.
"Will I... destroy everything?"
"No!" Mingtong gritted her teeth and interrupted her, "No! No one can be sure of the future!"
"But you are not..."
"No, it was just a phantom. No one can be sure of the truth." Ming Tong held Ji Wushuang's hand tightly and said solemnly, "Compared to that illusory future, I would rather believe my eyes and believe in the you that I truly see, Wushuang! I believe in you, and you should also believe in yourself. No matter what, as long as you are determined in your direction and keep moving forward, you don't need to pay too much attention to other things."
Ji Wushuang was silent for a long time, then held Mingtong in his hand and said, "Master, how about you take another look at me?"
Mingtong shook her head decisively: "No, there is a connection between you and me. We are master and disciple, so I can no longer see your future. But these things are no longer important. You should leave here quickly."
Ji Wushuang smiled: "Master, since you believe in me, why do you want me to leave? I want to fight alongside you."
Ming Tong suddenly tightened his grip on Ji Wushuang's hand: "Don't you know how some hypocritical guys would covet your power..."
Ji Wushuang nodded: "So the elixir you gave me was indeed to protect me. Also, the other people who asked about the sky didn't find me again because of you, right?"
Mingtong wanted to say something, but Ji Wushuang spoke softly, "Master, I'm not a fool. You haven't come to see me for so many years, and you haven't let me look for you. Are you afraid that I'll see your power withering away bit by bit..."
As Ji Wushuang spoke, he raised his hand and stroked Mingtong's temples, so gently and tenderly.
Her stunningly beautiful and talented master actually had white hair on her temples.
This means...
Master's power is fading away bit by bit.
For example, at this moment, facing these void monsters.
If the master who taught her swordsmanship was so strong, how could he let himself fall into such a situation?
Ming Tong pretended to smile and said, "How could that be? You're overthinking it. Master's hair has turned white because he's getting old. It has nothing to do with you..."
Even though Mingtong tried his best to deny it, Ji Wushuang still found out the answer.
At this moment, Ji Wushuang's inner entanglement and struggle disappeared.
Perhaps Mingtong did come with the intention of "killing" her at the beginning. After all, if she were to put herself in Ji Wushuang's shoes, she would also choose to "nip the danger in the cradle."
A dangerous person who could destroy the world, of course, should be eliminated as soon as possible while she is still weak.
But Mingtong protected her, taught her, and even Mo Mo exchanged his own strength and life for her, just to give her a future and hope.
With such a master, what else could she have regrets about?
She, she... Even though she was not expected or loved at birth, she still met a soft-hearted master.
With her master around, her trip to this world wouldn't be in vain, right?
