The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 508 No regrets
No one expected that Yuan Mu, who has always been unambiguous in this kind of matter, would suddenly say something similar to letting water go. As his words fell, the expressions of several people in the room changed.

Yang Yang naturally didn't understand the meaning, he just felt that what Yuan Mu said made him feel a little wrong.And Ning Yuan heard that he wanted to have a good talk with the other party, which is actually nothing, you know, if it is not necessary, he does not want to turn his face.

Especially when Wu Zhongwu was not around, after all, he hadn't forgotten the man they met when they just came in.Although the man never said a word or expressed any hostility from the beginning to the end, but for some reason, Ning Yuan just had a feeling that this man was not a kind person.

When it was very possible to face two enemies, but Yuan Mu was the only reliable combat power on their side, Ning Yuan felt that the best way was of course to avoid confrontation.It's a pity that Yuan Mu's words didn't just mean avoiding conflict.What he meant was that even if this matter really had nothing to do with Wu Mingtuo, if it wasn't necessary, he still didn't want to hold him accountable, which made Ning Yuan very unhappy.

You know, before they came, they basically all had one thought, that this matter could not be done well, at least not just let it go.After all, those are two treasures that are very precious to monsters.What's more, this also led to their internal conflicts. If this matter is not resolved, let's not talk about what will happen to Lu Axe. Based on Ning Yuan's understanding of Xiaochen, she probably has to explode on the spot.

Therefore, after Ning Yuan listened to his words, his expression changed instantly.

But Lu Ax, when he heard Yuan Mu call Wu Ming an "old friend", for some reason his expression loosened for a moment, as if he remembered something.However, considering his long-term cooperative relationship with Wu Ming, this is also understandable.After all, he was not such a cruel person in the first place. For him, this time is of course contradictory.He is naturally happy to find out the truth, ask the whereabouts of things and the whole story, but if this can not hurt Wu Ming, he is not unwilling.

On the one hand, he wants to question why Wu Ming betrayed him, and wants her to be punished.On the other hand, he couldn't bear to think of the relationship between the two of them for so many years, and the storms they had gone through together before that.

Compared with the different expressions of the people here, Wu Ming seemed much calmer.She didn't even show a smile, it seemed that to her, Yuan Mu's words, which were obviously meant to show kindness, didn't have any meaning.

She nodded with her usual expression, and said to several people: "Indeed, it's just that Mr. Bai Ze may not have an impression of me, right?"

"It's true that I don't have any impression." After hearing her words, Yuan Mu nodded and admitted: "However, I should have met your clansman. Are you... Jinwu?"

The Golden Crow is a divine bird in the legend, but their identity is even more noble. According to the legend, they are the sons of Emperor Jun and Xihe. Wu, the sun god bird that can fly.

For example, in "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Nan Jing", there is "Xi He, the wife of Emperor Jun, who was born ten days old"; Living in the water, there are big trees, which live in the lower branches for nine days and the upper branches for one day"; "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing" also said that "there is a buttress on the Tang Valley, which arrives in one day and comes out in one day, all of which are recorded in Wu."

As soon as Yuan Mu mentioned Wu Ming's prototype, Yang Yang knew the origin of Wu Ming's name.At the very beginning, he thought that this Wu Ming was a boy.After all, no matter from her occupation or her name, she should be a boy.

Even if she is a girl, she is no worse than a man.It's just that girls can be strong, and they can do whatever they want. Yang Yang finds it unacceptable to cheat, betray and deceive people who believe in him.But speaking of it, even if it's not a girl, Yang Yang won't like anyone who does this.

Of course, people probably don't really care about his liking.

"Yes, I really can't hide from Master Bai Ze." Hearing Yuan Mu reveal his prototype, Wu Ming immediately admitted with a smile, as if a secret that had been guarded for many years finally came to light.There was relaxation and relief in her smile, she looked at several people, and said in a low voice: "I know, you are here this time to ask me about the things that Lu Ax lost."

"Do you know what you lost?" Seeing her say such words, Ning Yuan immediately knew that the matter was about to get to the point, so he asked.

"I know, of course I know." Hearing his question, Wu Ming nodded slightly and admitted, "It's the fire essence and the undead tree."

After she finished saying this, she smiled at Ning Yuan, then relaxed her entire back and leaned back on the chair, and said in a low voice: "Because I found these two things for him, this No one in the world knows better than me who owns these two things."

Because she handed over these two things with her own hands, how could she not know who had these two things?

Her words made Yuan Mu slightly frowned, and just when he was about to say something, an abrupt voice came in.That voice was a little hoarse, like sand, with the taste of rock grinding.

Only said three words.

"why?"

Lu Ax looked at Wu Ming, staring at her for a moment, as if he wanted to see her prototype through her human form, and then look into her soul. He asked, "Why?"

These three short words are as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold to Wu Ming. If possible, she also wants to answer, why?
Why did she betray Lu Fu?
Was Lu Ax treating her badly?Of course not, Lu Ax's cooperation conditions, even if you look at the entire Black Sun, you may not find a second one.Moreover, this employer will not appear by your side all day, telling you to do this and that, he just appears in a small amount of time and gives her something.Then leave a manifest, tell her what she wants, and then leave it alone.

He doesn't care how she sells it, how she buys it, and how much it costs.All he cared about was what he got, whether it was what he wanted.He doesn't care about other things, whether it's the price or the method.

This is simply a more ideal employer, especially between her and this employer, there is a very long time as the basis for their cooperation.Time has always been the alchemy stone of everything, which is especially important for trust.

It is a pity that some things cannot be measured by time, and some things are doomed from the moment of birth, and there is no way back.There is no regret at all, if that person doesn't show up, Wu Ming thought, she will be very happy to cooperate with Lu Fu, and become a pair of partners that the whole black day admires.

It's a pity, no matter what, it's not perfect.

However, even so, she still has no regrets, and she will not regret anything she does for that person.

Lu Ax watched Wu Ming lower her head amidst her questioning, and after a while, she raised her head, looked into Lu Ax's eyes and said word by word: "I'm sorry."

The question is three words, and the answer is still three words.It seems that the six words between the question and the answer have exhausted all the love and happiness of these two people for so many years.Between the two of them, there are only these simple and well-organized two sentences, six words.

why?
I am sorry.

What a ridiculous thing this is!

Thinking of this, Lu Ax smiled wryly, picked up the cup in front of him, and drank the bitter tea in it, as if this could suppress the bitterness in his heart.Seeing his action, Yang Yang glanced at him worriedly, then turned to look at the other protagonist.

The other person lowered her head, as if she didn't want to see Lu Fu's expression, she whispered, "I'm sorry, but I don't regret my decision."

After she finished saying this, before everyone had time to react, she continued: "I know that I am a traitor to you, but I want to say that all these years, all the days I have been in the world It’s not as happy as these days.”

"I will never regret my own decision, and when I called the fire spirit and the undead tree to Lu Axe, I already knew the end of the matter. I don't contact you either, but I think..." Wu Ming raised his head to look into Lu Fu's eyes and said, "I think I still owe you an apology, not because of what you think, my so-called betrayal, but It's for your trust and the things we've worked hard together."

"But..." Wu Ming reiterated again: "I don't regret it."

I don’t regret following that person’s wishes and teaching Lu Ax the Fire Essence and the Undying Tree, and I don’t regret cooperating with that person to take the Fire Essence and the Undying Tree away from Lu Ax after knowing Lu Ax’s whereabouts, and I don’t regret once Meet Lu Ax again.

In her whole life, she had too many unavoidable things, but when she was about to die, she was able to do a few things she wanted to do, so what could she regret?
Wu Ming's words sounded like he would not admit his mistakes, but to the few people present, there was a kind of lingering sadness.Such sadness made Ning Yuan and the others frowned.

At this time, except for asking why, Lu Ax never spoke again. He looked at Wu Ming and said, "Let's go."

As soon as he spoke, everyone fixed their eyes on him. He met the eyes of several people, smiled wryly and said: "You were the one who found those things for me, now it's nothing if you take them back." It's just that I don't know, why didn't you tell me.

If you really trust me, if you really regard me as a companion, why won't you tell me?

He didn't ask the last sentence, and he felt that he might never have a chance to ask it in his life.However, just like what Wu Ming said to him before, he has no regrets, never regretted it.
