At this mont, Feng Xiao was kneeling in front of Feng Yaoshi's grave, her face expressionless except for sadness. Yang Haoran was sitting beside her, smoking a cigarette, not saying a word, quietly listening to Feng Xiao's story about her and Feng Yaoshi.
"Master's life, he never told about it, but I know Master lived a unhappy life, with many secrets hidden in his heart, and many burdens on his shoulders, so he lived a very tiring life."
"My life was not good, it could even be said to be miserable. Master wanted to walk out of the shadows and gave a clear direction for the future, so he nad Feng Xiao, hoping that I would learn to face any difficulties with a smile. He lived a very tiring and unhappy life, and he didn't want to follow in his footsteps."
As she said this, Feng Xiao wiped away her tears and continued.
"It was because he suppressed too many things in his heart that Master's personality beca eccentric and stubborn. He didn't want to interact with people, as if everyone except was his enemy, so he didn't have any friends and even offended many people."
This point was obvious, even if Feng Xiao didn't say it, Yang Haoran could see it. Feng Yaoshi's personality was indeed eccentric.
Although Yang Haoran understood, he didn't say it out loud, instead, he silently smoked his cigarette, playing the role of a listener.
In this situation, it was better for Feng Xiao to talk more, the more she spoke, the more her heart would be relieved of its pain. Yang Haoran wouldn't be foolish enough to interrupt.
Moreover, by listening to Feng Xiao talk about these things, he could gain a deeper understanding of her, which would be beneficial for their future plans.
At this mont, Feng Xiao didn't know what Yang Haoran was thinking, she was completely imrsed in her own world, how could she notice Yang Haoran?
"Master told long ago that he didn't have much ti left to live, but with his skills in alchemy, he could live for another ten or twenty years if he wanted to. However, he didn't want to do so."
Feng Xiao's words made Yang Haoran's heart sowhat puzzled, but combining them with what she had just said, he roughly guessed the reason.
"I don't know what burdens Master carried, but from his daily words and actions, I know he wanted to leave this world early. Perhaps in his eyes, death was the real liberation, and the burdens on his body would disappear with death."
Feng Xiao's words confird Yang Haoran's speculation and also resolved another doubt in his heart.
Why did Feng Yaoshi, who knew he was under the Exorcist Elder's Soul Destruction Curse, still insist on killing the Exorcist Elder instead of trying to lift the curse and then kill the Exorcist Elder?
At that ti, the Exorcist Elder was already captured by Yang Haoran, and they could have used many thods to torture him and make him lift the curse.
Whether this thod would work or not, at least they should have tried, as there was a possibility of success.
However, Feng Yaoshi's choice was not to try, he directly used violent ans to break the Exorcist Elder's neck, completely cutting off his own retreat!
Yang Haoran had witnessed this scene, and while he saw Feng Yaoshi as a ruthless person, he still had so doubts about Feng Yaoshi's actions. However, Feng Xiao's words had completely resolved his doubts.
Feng Yaoshi did that because he had already had suicidal thoughts and didn't want to continue living in this world, so he didn't care about the consequences and ruthlessly broke the Exorcist Elder's neck without hesitation.
"If I had stopped Feng Yaoshi from killing the exorcist, would he have really been able to survive?"
This thought erged in Yang Haoran's mind, but he imdiately denied it.
Because a person who wants to die can't be saved by anyone.
Seeing Feng Xiao not speaking, Yang Haoran gazed at Feng Yaoshi's grave, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "No matter what burdens your master carried, it's certain that he lived a very painful life. Since he chose to end it in this way, I think you should view this issue correctly."
Feng Xiao shook her head with a sorrowful expression and responded, "My master hoped that I could face everything in life with a smile, but he himself couldn't do it, and I don't know how I can do it either."
"There aren't many people in this world who can do that. Your master knew you couldn't, so he gave you this na to remind you, perhaps also to remind himself. But from the current situation, your na hasn't changed his extre thoughts, but whether it can change you depends on yourself." Yang Haoran said.
Feng Xiao didn't respond, and Yang Haoran didn't know if she understood the aning of his words. Seeing Feng Xiao's silence, he continued.
"Your master has already passed away, and that's a fact. You're still alive, and you need to continue living in this world, which is also a fact. What do you plan to do next?"
Upon hearing Yang Haoran's words, Feng Xiao imdiately replied without thinking, "I'll stay in this valley for the rest of my life to accompany my master. I won't go anywhere, because this is my ho."
Yang Haoran slightly furrowed his brows, shook his head, and said, "No, you can't stay here anymore."
"Why?" Feng Xiao asked anxiously.
"Do you know what happened outside the barrier today?" Yang Haoran didn't imdiately answer Feng Xiao's question, instead asking another one.
"I could see the outside situation when the barrier wasn't visible, but when the barrier appeared, I couldn't know what was happening outside." Feng Xiao replied.
Hearing this, Yang Haoran looked at the barrier, which was still affected by the large fire outside, making the light screen visible to the naked eye.
However, the naked eye could only see the hazy light screen of the barrier, unable to see the outside situation.
"After the barrier was activated, you couldn't see the outside situation clearly, so you don't know how brutal today's battle was. If it weren't for , you would have definitely been captured by now, and as for your master, he would have definitely died, but his body wouldn't have been buried like this."
Saying this, Yang Haoran took a final puff of his cigarette, threw away the butt, and continued, "I'm telling you this not to show how much I've done for you and your master, but to tell you how dangerous this battle was."
This battle was indeed very dangerous, and Feng Xiao could see that without Yang Haoran saying it. If it weren't dangerous, her master wouldn't have died imdiately after entering the barrier, without even leaving a will.
"Your master didn't make this place safe, and now that he's gone, do you think it's safe?" Yang Haoran asked.
Feng Xiao's expression was complex because she knew Yang Haoran was right, so she didn't know how to answer his question.
Seeing Feng Xiao's silence, Yang Haoran continued, "You know in your heart that this place isn't safe. If you insist on staying, not only can't you accompany your master forever, but you'll also beco prey for those with ill intentions. What will happen to your fate then? It's hard to say, except that it won't be good. Don't even ntion the future; this place isn't safe even now."
"Why? Haven't all the bad people who ca today been killed?" Feng Xiao asked.
"They're all dead, but the previous battle made a lot of noise. Who knows if soone has sensed it? If they have, they'll all co here, and do you think this place is still safe?"
Yang Haoran's words weren't ant to scare Feng Xiao, but the situation he described was very likely to happen. If he hadn't considered Feng Xiao's grief and emotional instability, he would have said this earlier.
