The cold moon hung high in the sky, the night wind rustled, and the hanging lanterns swayed in the wind, shrouding the small hill in a chill.
Let's take a look at the current situation.
In the sky, there was a peanut with a shell hanging on to the shell of another peanut.
As for the peanuts on the ground, they were divided into two distinct factions.
The peanuts in the south are Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
There are more peanuts in the north. We named them by code names, namely Xun, Huang, Milk, and Gou.
There is also Housekeeper Xu, who insists on coming to make up the numbers.
There is also Empress' peanut noodle stall.
These women have different social statuses and roles, and their attributes are also very different. Some are old lovers, some are best friends, and some are new lovers. They did not know of each other's existence before. Judging from the rules of Bai Xue and the Shuraba, once these women gather together, something extraordinary will definitely happen.
Therefore, it is natural that a wise philanthropist would put avoiding this situation as the first thing in the management of the harem.
If this situation really happens, then the philanthropist would have to choose countermeasures according to the situation. Generally speaking, running away is shameful but useful.
Therefore, when a philanthropist discovers the clues and trend of the Shuraba, not only does he not decisively take countermeasures, but he does the opposite. He actually gathers the harem together and openly appears in the world. This kind of behavior can undoubtedly be described as unwise.
But Sun Lang, who did this, did not look like he was unwise at all.
His expression was calm, his eyes were calm, he did not smile, and his steps were steady. Every movement carried a strong sense of oppression and aggressiveness, making people involuntarily look at his figure.
After all, he was the Commander of Heaven's Origin, whose name shook the six armies in the past. After all, he was now the number one in the world. He controlled the most powerful armed force in the world and fought a world war for the future of the race with a terrifying enemy. Countless strong soldiers and fierce generals served him, and one sword could defeat a million soldiers. This legendary life and experience was enough to polish an ordinary soul into a peerless divine sword.
Just as everyone felt that it was scary when an honest person got angry, when a guy who was always smiling and messing around suddenly became powerful and domineering, people who were used to his arrogant look would be shocked and not dare to speak.
Therefore, it was clearly such a terrifying situation, but Sun Lang directly appeared and gained the upper hand by a show of strength. It actually allowed him to seize the initiative and temporarily control the situation.
With his aura alone, he firmly suppressed the threat of the Asura Field. Looking around the entire place, it could be said that he was like a hawk looking at wolves. It was as if he was looking at a group of generals respectfully waiting for him to give orders, and not a female Asura who could cut him into pieces at any time.
Yinluo and the others had never seen such a serious Sun Lang before. It was as if they had discovered a new world, and they actually felt that it was very cool. But then, a strange thought flashed through everyone's mind. Strange, he was clearly in the wrong, and we were the ones who came to catch him in the act. Why was he the one who was showing off and shouting? It was completely the other way around, wasn't it?
What kind of person was Sun Lang? Once he got the opportunity, he would not give the enemy a chance to recover!
He paced two steps on the spot and said calmly, "These few days, everyone must not have slept well. It's the same for me. I always wanted to say something to everyone, always wanted to find someone to talk to. But there has to be an end to this … Let's talk about my experience first. You may have heard of my story more or less …"
A trace of sadness flashed in Sun Lang's eyes. Then, he smiled. "Simply put, I've been a failure in my life. I've been fighting for six years. I've lied to myself for six years. In the end, everything turned out to be fake.
Falling out with his comrades, reversing the blade of his sword. A brother who had been through life and death was gone just like that. After I climbed out of the Great Desolate Mountain, I didn't even know what I was going to do next. I also didn't know what I had done in the past six years … "
He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't show that expression. Alright, don't glare at Her Highness Empress. She is a guest, so don't feel sad for me. I've been sad for a long time. I've already cried what I should cry. It's meaningless to keep mentioning it.
However, there was a period of time when I often thought, damn it, why did it have to be me? "
"At that time, it was really hateful. I didn't like anyone. I would use my sword qi to attack randomly. I was temperamental and lost my temper. Sometimes, when I was walking, I would find a mountain in front of me. I could even destroy the mountain in one breath."
"But later, slowly, the anger in my heart calmed down a little. Because I realized that it wasn't too bad. In fact, it wasn't that I didn't get anything.
Force, plunder, lies, betrayal. Although my life was full of these things, at least, it wasn't too bad. Although I had a deep relationship with the traitors, but, but … "
He looked at the girls present one by one. Of course, Empress was an exception. Then, he said with a smile, "I think, in addition to those bad things, I can also easily meet very, very good girls."
The girls were slightly stunned. Looking at the sincere smile on Sun Lang's face, and the gratitude and joy in his eyes, they didn't know why, but they felt suffocated in their hearts. That little bit of unhappiness disappeared.
Sun Lang looked at Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai with soft eyes and said softly, "Sister Lin and Sister Baochai, they are my cousins for the time being. When I was fighting in the army, the grandmother of Rongguo Mansion was concerned about my life. You all know that the old lady was looking forward to having a great-grandson. So, she picked these two girls that she liked the most and asked them to come to the army and let me meet them …"
"But at that time, I didn't seem to have graduated from the second year of middle school. I was always thinking about random things and was very resistant to the marriage arranged by the elders. So, when my grandmother sent these two cousins to me, I refused at first. But you all know me. I definitely couldn't take the initiative to refuse such beautiful girls. Even if I didn't want to marry them, it was also good to keep them by my side for the time being …"
It seemed to be the first time that he was so honest. Coupled with his sincere tone, not to mention Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, even Yinluo and the others couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing.
"As soon as I asked them to stay, they directly joined the army. No wonder they were good girls picked out by my grandmother. I thought they couldn't hold on, but I didn't expect that they gradually gained a foothold and made contributions on the battlefield and became famous … At that time, my marriage plan hadn't been implemented yet, so I didn't respond to their feelings. I always wanted to finish the war first. But, after the war …"
Sadness and sighs appeared on the girls' faces. They already knew what was going to happen next.
— Their emotions were stirred up by Sun Lang.
"In the battle of Dahuang Mountain, I died in the war. That's what the official file said. The news that they, Rongguo Mansion, and the comrades in the army received was also the same." Sun Lang said softly, "What happened on earth?
I never knew. I've been wandering outside for the past two years. I didn't want to see anyone, didn't want to see anyone, and didn't want to hear anyone's news. Why?
Because I was afraid that if I saw and heard, my heart would soften. "
He only said half of what he wanted to say, but everyone present was either extremely intelligent or knew Sun Lang very well … Everyone knew what Sun Lang meant by softening his heart.
"When did I finally receive news of Sister Lin and Sister Bao?
It should be Ping Yidao who told me. That old man, at that time, didn't care about anything else and told me the news of Rongguo Mansion. I didn't even have time to stop him. Then, I heard that Sister Bao and Sister Lin heard the news of my death and rushed back to Rongguo Mansion from the army. They first had a big fight, then decided to mourn for me together.
"Two silly girls, there wasn't even an engagement. Grandmother only wanted to try. At that time, I even pretended to be crazy, and … but you still did such a stupid thing. You were still so young, and your future could have been very, very good, but you wanted to do such a thing for a dead person …"
He said softly, "Two years, two years. If I don't come back, I'm afraid they'll wait until I'm in my coffin … They'll definitely do that."
Sun Lang smiled again, but there was a hint of embarrassment in his smile. The girls were shocked to find that Sun Lang's eyes were a little moist. He laughed embarrassedly. "How should I put it? I'm a very strange person. You could say that my heart is already twisted. Even if hundreds of thousands of people died in front of me, I probably wouldn't even blink. But if someone were to treat me well regardless of everything, I'm afraid I'll be so moved that I'll cry.
"I'm just such an awkward person … The unique life experiences in my early years created this strange antisocial personality of mine. This bad habit can't be changed in this lifetime."
Sun Lang sighed. He looked at Master Lu, Zhang Yinluo, and Zhao Feihuang. "There are already so few people who are truly good to me in this lifetime. Now that I'm dead, there are two more. What more can I ask for?"
Lu Shu-jen and the others were slightly shocked.
Lin Xue and Zhao Feihuang did not understand the subtext of this sentence, but how could they not?
Lu Shu-jen and the others' purpose was not only to meet this legendary old lover out of a sense of competition, but also to untie this knot in Sun Lang's heart.
Sun Lang learned about this from Courrier. Now, this was his answer.
In order to repay Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, who had silently sacrificed so much for him over the past two years, he would rather be his old self for a while than let them know the truth so hastily. Even if the two of them would still be deeply in love with him after knowing the truth, he did not want them to be shocked or at a loss.
Master Lu clenched his teeth. This guy would rather expose himself and put himself in the current situation. He had been yelling about the Asura Battlefield all day long, but for the sake of those two women, he would actually turn around and step into it himself!
For a moment, not only Master Lu, but also Yinluo and Miss Zhao could not help but feel bitter. They even had the urge to turn around and leave.
Sun Lang looked at them with calm and gentle eyes. He said softly, "I was wondering why I made such a decision to gather all of you together, face you calmly, and resolve the matter between us.
I was wondering what gave me the courage. It should be all of you. It's because I met you when my heart was at its coldest … "
He turned his head and looked at Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai. He said softly, "A few months ago, I came back from abroad and entered Mingzhou. By chance, I met Hu Shouxin, so I stayed. There, I met Yinluo …"
