Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 73 Never See You Again
Lu Guanchang saw Zhao Hongxia stop in her tracks and lean in to listen, so he sat back down as well.
"After I found you, I realized that those things weren’t important anymore. To see you once again, to talk to you, to chat with you, to say I’m sorry, that’s all I could ask for..." Lu Guanchang said solemnly.
Sun Dacheng knew Zhao Hongxia was too proud to relent, so he took the initiative to walk over and pulled her back.
Sure enough, Zhao Hongxia did not struggle and sat back down in her original spot.
"So many years have passed, what’s the use of saying sorry now?"
She looked at Lu Guanchang with a complex expression.
Lu Guanchang said, "I know it’s useless, it’s just that I can’t get over it in my heart. Life is a one-way street; once the past is behind us, it’s too late for anything. It’s not so much an apology to you as it is to my conscience, to give it so peace..."
"You’ve always only thought about yourself, just like before, and it’s the sa now." Zhao Hongxia couldn’t help but retort angrily.
Lu Guanchang was not angered by her words. Looking at Zhao Hongxia before him, it was as if he could see the shadows of her childhood self, how every ti she was angry, it always took a long ti to coax her...
Back then, he loved her so much, but why did he suddenly beco so heartless, abandoning her and her mother?
Now looking back, he couldn’t understand it himself. In the end, he could only co to one conclusion: he was not a good man, not a good father.
Just as his daughter said, he’d always only thought about himself.
However, at this mont, he didn’t feel any regret. Everything was his choice; he had let everything go.
So he looked at Zhao Hongxia with a calm expression and said, "I need to leave."
Zhao Hongxia’s lips quivered, wanting to say more, but she couldn’t find the words.
A faint blue glow flickered at Lu Guanchang’s chest, and his body began to collapse around the center of the blue light...
"Dad... Daddy... goodbye..." Zhao Hongxia said, her eyes red, her voice sowhat choked up.
Lu Guanchang raised his fading arm, smiling and waving goodbye to Zhao Hongxia.
It seed like a distant mory of a morning, her mother carrying a package, taking her hand, saying they were going to visit her grandmother.
She looked back to see her father standing not far behind, watching them with an indescribable expression.
She waved her little hand with a smile, saying, "Daddy, goodbye~"
And from then on, she never saw him again; from that day forth, she was without a father.
Her mory ended there; she couldn’t rember what her father’s expression was, whether he had responded to her, everything was a blank...
But at this mont, this segnt of her forgotten mory resurfaced.
Her father had waved at her with a smile and said goodbye, just like now.
Having fulfilled his wish and let go of everything, Lu Guanchang no longer harbored any anger or resentnt. Maybe he felt that all of this was the retribution he deserved.
As for his wealth, whether Zhao Hongxia wanted to fight for it was now her business, whichever way was fine.
-----------------
Shen Siyuan did not confine Lu Guanchang’s soul, so after fulfilling his last wish and letting go of all his attachnts to this world, his soul should have dispersed.
Yet the mass of blue light inside him absorbed these dissipating souls, then shot up into the sky as a blue gleam and vanished from sight.
So a blue light fell from the sky onto Shen Siyuan, who was on his way back to the company after lunch. Because it happened so fast, no one noticed it.
But Shen Siyuan felt it—a stream of pure Soul Power fed back into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
This Soul Power was incredibly pure, devoid of any desires or distractions.
So there was naturally no need for Shen Siyuan to refine it, and thus no worry about contaminating his spirit with desire and distractions, making it directly usable for repairing the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
"Indeed, there’s no rit."
Lu Guanchang confird his suspicion.
Yet, unexpectedly, the acquisition of such pure Soul Power was a pleasant surprise.
"What are you thinking about? Let’s go?"
Ding Youguang slapped Shen Siyuan’s shoulder, rousing him from his daze.
"Nothing much, let’s go. It’s almost ti to start work," replied Shen Siyuan casually.
Ding Youguang had invited lunch today mainly to inquire about the specific progress of the project Zhou Zhengdao was working on, and to see if there were any difficulties to solve together.
There weren’t any significant issues at present, but so equipnt support was needed.
Because for set-top boxes, even though they all use the Android system, versions vary among brands.
Hence, it’s necessary to purchase set-top boxes from different brands and conduct compatibility testing for the ga.
This process is rather troubleso, and also involves a sizable investnt.
As the driver behind the project, Ding Youguang expressed his determination to resolve this.
Of course, not by buying the boxes. It’s not about being reluctant to spend the money, but rather because there are too many different set-top boxes, and even with purchasing, it’s not guaranteed to acquire them all.
His plan was to reach out to a friend working in the mobile departnt to help obtain so set-top boxes.
In the afternoon, Shen Siyuan revised and adjusted the fishing ga’s design plan based on the issues raised by Zhou Zhengdao during lunch.
Then he chatted with Jiang Wenxin on corporate WeChat for a while.
She was mainly trying to find out from Shen Siyuan about the blind date he had the previous day.
Shen Siyuan didn’t hide it from her, opting to tell the truth.
What he didn’t know was that Jiang Wenxin had already learned about it through Ruan Hongzhuang’s social circle.
Nevertheless, she had to admit that Ruan Hongzhuang was indeed a capable and beautiful girl who could make any man’s heart flutter.
Seeing that Shen Siyuan had made up his mind to date her and give it a try, all Jiang Wenxin could do was sigh in her heart, lanting the twists of fate that her cousin didn’t have such luck.
Just like that, a day passed.
Yin Xingyue and Dou Dou had vanished sowhere, unseen all afternoon.
After returning ho, Shen Siyuan cooked himself a large pot of egg noodles. After a satisfying al, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and began tonight’s plan.
The newly acquired strand of rit Shen Siyuan decided not to use for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but for practicing the Great Arhat Eighteen Forms.
After all, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is an external object, and one’s true strength cos from within.
The strand of rit from two days ago allowed him to directly advance the Great Arhat Eighteen Forms to the Second Stage, second layer. He wondered how far today’s strand would take him.
As this strand of rit turned into a cool sensation spreading throughout his body, Shen Siyuan hurriedly assud the pose for the Eighteen Forms’ Third Layer.
Then, a severe pain spread throughout his entire body, especially the nerves around his mouth and teeth, extending over the top of his head. His temples throbbed, his head felt like it was splitting open, and in this process, his consciousness seed to magnify several tis, becoming even more vivid.
Following that, the teeth in his mouth started to loosen and fall out, mixed with blood, which he spat out one by one.
During this process, his muscles continuously tore and healed, his skin cracked and dried out rapidly, peeling off in large patches, making Shen Siyuan wish for death...
At this mont, Shen Siyuan’s phone rang, but he had absolutely no spare energy to answer it...
