After the natural disaster caused by the landslide and the man-made disaster outside the castle, the crumbling Bai Castle finally returned to its former tranquility after the two brilliant sword rays cut through the demonic clouds in the sky.
The earth-shaking earthquake had disappeared without a trace, as if it was just an illusion. The mountains were as tall and majestic as before, but the ruins were telling the truth. All of this was real.
Low moans sounded in the ruins. Those who were lucky enough to escape looked around blankly. After hearing the cries for help, they shivered. After a moment of hesitation, they went to save people.
The Jianghu swordsmen and the guards of the Bai Family looked at each other in dismay. One side put down their weapons, and the other side did the same.
Some things in this world were interconnected. They had all seen the two earth-shattering sword rays cut through the sky. Even if they did not know the cause and effect, they suddenly extinguished the desire to fight.
Sun Lang held Bai Yuwei's body in his arms as he stood quietly in the heart of the Bai Clan Fort's Shovel Sword Garden. He waited until the old man's body turned into pure light and merged with the Golden Luminous Sacred Sword.
His expression was very strange, as if he was sad and relieved. In the end, it all turned into a gentle smile, and the reborn Holy Sword floated quietly in the air and floated in front of him.
Sun Lang stared at the sacred sword that was right in front of him. This sacred sword was no different from the Golden Radiance Sacred Sword in his memories. However, there was a new meaning to it now. He stared at this imperial weapon and felt the calling of his bloodline.
He stretched out his hand, and then the Holy Sword meekly fell into his hand. The resplendent sword light was activated, and the Holy Sword, which held a strong murderous aura, blossomed with a sharp light, enveloping him in the sword light, but it did not hurt him at all.
There was no need for the holy sword to choose its master, and there was no need for the imperial weapons of the imperial court to assist the ceremony. There was no doubt that he was already the master of the holy sword … This was Bai Yuwei's gift, his apology, his blessings, his expectations, his inheritance, his everything, everything, was in this sword.
Sun Lang's other hand was still holding Ji Du. The sword spirit in the sword asked excitedly, "Is the sword spirit of Gold Star …"
Sun Lang was silent for a moment. Then, he shook his head slightly. "No … he's already tired. He has no regrets."
The other Lu Shu-jen also fell silent, and then said softly, "If that's the case … that's fine too."
Xie Wei slowly walked to Sun Lang's side.
Sun Lang turned around and looked at her. The little demoness also looked back at Sun Lang. This time, there was no hatred, because at some point, the hatred and confusion in Xie Wei's heart had faded a lot.
She even felt relieved. Looking at everything around her, everything seemed to have a new meaning in her eyes. She had gone through unimaginable things when she went down the mountain this time. She had witnessed the pain and redemption of the two heroes of the Heaven's Origin Sector. The two streaks of sword light shining in the sky would become an unforgettable memory for her.
She was so lucky to be able to personally participate in the story of the two of them …
Suddenly, Xie Wei laughed. She stood up straight and said in a soft but serious voice, "I'm sorry — I'm saying this on behalf of my parents."
Sun Lang also laughed. He said with a smile, "I'm sorry — I'm saying this to you."
The two of them laughed together.
Sun Lang held the Ji Du Demon Sword horizontally and handed it to the little demoness. "Here."
The little demoness was stunned for a moment. She hesitated. "Don't you … need Sister Lu's help?"
Sun Lang smiled and waved the Gold Star Sacred Sword in his hand. "I already have one … Although it's better to have more of the best equipment, Aunt Lu likes you very much. So, you can keep it first."
The little demoness was still a little hesitant. Her hand touched the edge of the Ji Du Demon Sword and her communication with the sword spirit lasted for a moment. Then, Xie Wei's face turned red. She secretly glanced at Sun Lang and then bashfully took the demon sword. She said softly, "I know."
Sun Lang was a little confused, but he still smiled and said softly, "It's finally over. This trip was not in vain. I'm very happy … Xie Wei, I also have to thank you this time."
He calmly thanked Xie Wei. His tone was very normal and natural.
Xie Wei looked at Sun Lang's smiling face. There was sincerity in the warmth. Suddenly, her heart seemed to be hit by something. Her heartbeat became very fast.
At this moment, she realized that Sister Lu said that Sun Lang was once regarded as a reincarnated sage and was unswervingly followed by the soldiers of the six armies. It was probably not a lie … She saw the shadow of this person's past in Sun Lang's smile. The person who worked hard to raise his head and bathe in the light.
Her face was a little red. She looked at Sun Lang and said softly, "You seem to be … a little different."
Sun Lang did not deny it. He looked at the sacred sword in his hand and said slowly, "Maybe. Before he left, he taught me a lot of things. Some things that had been forgotten or thrown away before may be picked up by me again. This is all thanks to him …"
— — He forced himself to stand up with a body riddled with holes. He burned his life's glory and reforged everything into a new Gold Glorious Sacred Sword. This shining figure would be engraved in his heart forever.
— — Bai Yuwei was still the person in his memory. It was really great.
Xie Wei showed a clear smile and said softly, "Then, there are no regrets?"
Sun Lang's eyes were in a trance. He seemed to have thought of something, something very, very far away. Then he shook his head and said, "There are still some."
His words were calm but there was a trace of sorrow in his soul. The nightmare that had haunted him for his entire life, the nightmare that had haunted him for six years, the desperate situation in the Great Desolate Mountain, and the betrayal of Bai Yuwei that had bound Sun Lang in the darkness.
Looking at Sun Lang like this, Xie Wei's heart ached.
She took two steps forward and hugged Sun Lang.
Then she felt Sun Lang's body shake and let out a surprised sound. "Huh?"
Xie Wei's heart also beat wildly. She felt all the blood in her body rushing to her face.
— — Wahhh, what am I doing!
Why am I doing this!
How can I do this to him!
Master said that only husband and wife can do this kind of thing, ah, ah, ah, ah!
She lowered her head, not wanting Sun Lang to see her blushing cheeks. Her body was trembling because she had never done such a bold thing … But even so, she still stubbornly hugged Sun Lang and stammered, "No … … Don't misunderstand, this is … … This is a victory hug, I … … I just … … just want to comfort you a little … …"
After she stuttered, she felt Sun Lang's tense body slowly relax. Then, her shoulder became warm and a hand hugged her shoulder. Sun Lang's calm voice sounded. "En … … Thank you."
After hearing this sentence, Xie Wei suddenly felt the shame and anxiety in her heart recede like a tide. She slowly relaxed and arched her head to a more comfortable angle. She buried her head in Sun Lang's arms. She felt that her whole person was surrounded by a peaceful and tranquil aura. It was very peaceful.
She was also tired.
These ten days of running and tiredness, these days of anxiety and confusion, and today's events were unforgettable.
The young girl's ignorant thoughts, the blood feud of her parents, the dilemma of the world, the truth of history, the hero's end and redemption … … These heavy burdens were not something a little girl could bear. But in the end, she bravely faced everything, walked through the clouds of suspicion and hatred, and came to the light.
Today, she had truly become an adult and grown up. She was no longer the carefree and innocent little girl of the past.
Because in one day, she learned the cruelest truth of the world. She also saw a hero at the end of the road walking towards the light. The Battle of the Great Desolate Mountain that shook the world and forever changed the universe was a despicable conspiracy. The Gold Radiance Sword Saint, who left his name in history, was just a chess piece in the hands of the emperor. However, at the last moment of his life, Bai Yuwei, who was covered in wounds, gathered his life into a holy sword that illuminated the world and found the meaning of being a hero again.
The beauty in the darkness and the hope in the desperate situation made her understand what true kindness and justice were. They were not empty slogans, nor were they empty insistence. Instead, they were choices and beliefs in the face of adversity, fearlessness and courage in the face of despair.
Perhaps the world was like this. Darkness and light danced together, justice and evil coexisted. When darkness shrouded the earth and sorrow descended, there would always be things worth remembering, heroes worth remembering … … There would always be people who treasured those things and passed them down, so the light continued.
Xie Wei hugged Sun Lang tightly and whispered, "You said that hatred will devour a person."
Sun Lang replied with a grunt.
The little fairy said slowly, "It's really like this. I was almost swallowed by hatred. Many people are like this, so I don't plan to take revenge … … I don't hate you."
Sun Lang smiled and said, "That's great … …"
Xie Wei gathered her courage and raised her head. She hugged Sun Lang and looked up at him. Her cheeks were bright red. The shy girl had a different kind of charm. Her eyes were a little blurred as she whispered, "Being swallowed by hatred is not a good thing, so can you also … …"
Sun Lang was silent.
The little fairy's expression was a little sad. She smiled bitterly and said, "It really can't … … It shouldn't be an easy thing … …"
Sun Lang said slowly, "Yes … …"
Xie Wei raised her head and looked straight at Sun Lang. Her tone was very solemn. "Then, are you willing to give it a try?
Just like today, just like now. This world is very good. In addition to hatred, there are many things that can be done … … "
Her voice slowly lowered and her face was red, but she still continued, "I … … I can be with you. I can cook very well, do housework very well, and learn everything very quickly. We can also go back to the place where I grew up. It's very quiet there, and there are many friends … …"
Sun Lang raised his hand and rubbed Xie Wei's head. His face was full of smiles. "I have a home, but you can also go and have a look. There are many good people in Mingzhou, and there are also people you know. He has a Daoist name, Bai Xue … …"
Xie Wei was stunned for a moment and then said in surprise, "The one you mentioned before, is it Wu … …"
At this point, she seemed to feel that it was very impolite and immediately covered her mouth.
Sun Lang smiled and his tone was very distant. His thoughts had also drifted far away. "There are also many people waiting for me there. There's a guy who's very compatible with your temperament. I've been away for a while, so I can go back. I'll tell them a lot of things, the story of Bai Yuwei, what happened today, and I'll tell them the most important thing … …"
Xie Wei was puzzled. "What?"
"I want to tell them that a stupid little fairy walked into a trap and took the initiative to hug me as if nothing had happened, and nothing happened, but I … …"
Sun Lang looked at Xie Wei with a smile that didn't have a trace of haze.
"— — I actually didn't want to do her."
