Merit Book·Xinghai

The old man...or the boy Qidan who followed behind Rong Yuan with an adoring face, finally raised his head slowly, turned his head inch by inch, looked at Rong Yuan with a complicated expression, and shouted softly: "... teacher."

"Don't dare to be that." Rong Yuan said coldly: "I didn't teach you much, and you may not respect me as a teacher. So let's forget about this kind of title."

Qidan's fingers twitched.

"Rong...Mr. Rong..." Qidan heard Rong Yuan's indifference and disgust, his lips twitched, and he chose to call him that.

"I...I didn't expect...you would come back...and, after so many years, you really...are still the same...haven't changed at all..."

After all, Qi Dan was already aging to the limit, and every word he said seemed to take a lot of effort. Looking at Rong Yuan with those cloudy eyes, he saw that his face was the same as before, without any signs of aging, and he couldn't control himself. Showing jealousy and greed, even though that emotion was only fleeting, it all fell into Rong Yuan's eyes.

He looked at the unrecognizable student who was completely different from what he remembered, and said, "But you are old, and...you are going to die."

With these eyes of his, he could clearly see the life force rapidly passing through Qidan's body.

"I...I know...my...body...is no longer capable."

Qi Dan clutched his chest, breathing hard, every time the air passed through his trachea, it would bring him great pain.

During the long slumber, his body was not kept in the frozen state, but was still slowly failing.Qi Dan found that the time left for him may be shorter than expected.

He originally wanted to recall a few more words about the past, his father who died young, and his poor sister, so as to arouse Rong Yuan's concern and sympathy for him.But... he didn't have time.

Qi Dan leaned on the wall of the coffin, supported his body with difficulty, looked up at Rong Yuan full of concern, and begged, "Teacher, I... I don't want to die... Can... Can... Please... help me……"

"No."

Rong Yuan rejected him simply and crisply.

Qidan's expression froze, and his face twisted involuntarily, showing a bit of the haze and resentment that had made countless people frightened. But then, he said with sadness, remorse, and pain: "I know... I, I What I did in the past betrayed your teachings to me... broke your heart..."

Rong Yuan slightly looked away.

It wasn't that he was moved by Qi Dan's disguised posture, he just didn't want to see this person in such a miserable state again.

"But at that time... my mind was not clear... my sister died... she died so miserable... my father... also died... my mind was full of hatred... that's why I was bewitched by... Karenby ...actually... delusional...to assassinate you..."

Qidan still spoke intermittently.

"I regret it... Teacher... I really regret it... When you forgive me... I... regret it... I know I was... wrong... But, but you... very Leaving soon... I will never... never have a chance to apologize... I have always... regretted it..."

"I beg you... teacher... please forgive me...for me...the most...precious thing in my life...is being by your side...while studying..."

Qidan spoke with sincerity, with tears streaming down his face as he spoke, and with his messy gray hair and aging face, he looked extremely pitiful.

"Now, I regret two things. Do you know what they are?"

Rong Yuan said.

Qidan paused, and couldn't help but look up at him.

"First, when you came to assassinate me, I was soft-hearted and let you go."

At that time, Qidan came to report the death of his father Qiyang and took the opportunity to assassinate him.In fact, he should have known that it was impossible for Rong Yuan to be injured by such a clumsy assassination, but he still did it without hesitation.

At that time, this young man's face was intertwined with anger, distortion, hatred, sadness... ferocious, but shocking.

Although Rong Yuan was not in good health at the time, he still easily subdued him.The young man fell to the ground, crying bitterly, screaming, insulting, and yelling.

No one has ever survived after being an enemy of Rong Yuan.But at that time, Rong Yuan thought of the companionship he had been with day and night in the past ten years, the sincere admiration and admiration of the young man, and Qiyang's unwavering trust and loyalty for many years, and the cuckoo's cry of blood before the tragic death of Qilin. Confession...

Rong Yuan let him go.

At that time, he did not expect that the evil deeds committed by that young man who was full of hatred but could be regarded as innocent at the beginning were too numerous to write down.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Rong Yuan always moves forward, but rarely looks back... Because when he looks back, it is always easy to find that most of the once pure, beautiful and passionate things have become what he hates.

Qi Dan's expression changed, since Rong Yuan said so, he definitely didn't want to help him, but he still suppressed it and asked, "Then... what about the second one?"

"the second one?"

Rong Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly, and glanced at him lightly.

Qidan felt his heart twitch suddenly, and at that moment, he seemed to have died once.

Although Rong Yuan didn't say it out loud, he seemed to have understood what he meant——

The second thing I regret is coming here and meeting him.

To see him so depraved.

Rong Yuan reached out and patted the freezer, then turned and left.Once he heaved a sigh of relief, he felt that he had saved his life in Rong Yuan's hands for the second time. He was first rejoicing, then proud, and then resented Rong Yuan for not being able to help him.

His father, his younger sister, and even his mother died of depression after his father's death. It can also be said that they died indirectly because of Rong Yuan. Up to now, Rong Yuan is unwilling to help him even a little favor... he How ridiculous it was to worship such a person!

Although he was full of resentment, he knew better than anyone else in this world how terrible Rong Yuan was, but he didn't dare to express his resentment.Qi Dan took a deep breath—his body was actually not as bad as he showed in front of Rong Yuan—then reached out and pressed the button of the freezer.

no response.

The old man who had focused all his attention on Rong Yuan just now realized that Rong Yuan's slap made the freezer go on strike. No matter how he patted or pressed, the coffin-shaped freezer was as silent as the real coffin with.

"No...no...no...it can't be like this..."

Qidan really panicked.This is his last hole card. If there is no freezer, then his current body...may not be able to survive even half a day.

He suddenly turned his head and saw that Rong Yuan had already reached the door, so he hurriedly stood up to catch up, but he fell straight out of the warehouse.He didn't care to stand up, and crawled forward with hands and feet.

"Teacher! Teacher! You can't do this! I don't want to die! Teacher!! I don't want to die! Save me! Please save me!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, tears flowed down his face, he climbed a few steps and then fell down, his nose knocked on the ground, a stream of blood came out.

Standing at the door, Rong Yuan looked back at his embarrassed and pitiful appearance, and said, "Since we met, only now have you spoken the truth."

With a faint hope, Qidan raised his head and murmured: "Old...teacher..."

but……

"I will not take action to prolong your life."

Rong Yuan shook his head and said: "Death is the destination of all people. You who have ended the lives of others countless times should understand this truth better than anyone else."

Qidan's lips trembled, his body trembled, and his hands could hardly support the ground.

"Go to your fucking home!"

Under the huge resentment and despair, Qi Dan roared: "What about you? Why are you an exception? Why don't you die?"

"Yeah, everyone is going to die, do you think I don't know?"

"My sister is dead! My father is dead! My mother is dead! Why can you live forever? Why?!! I buried them one by one in the soil with my own hands, do you think I don't know what death is? ? Just because I don’t want to die like them, I live desperately...I desperately...cough cough cough..."

Qidan let out an earth-shattering coughing sound, as violent as if he wanted to cough up his lungs. Coughing and coughing, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and when he wiped it with his hand, his chin was bright red.

He looked at the blood on his hands, smiled suddenly, and said, "But I know... I knew a long time ago that one day, I will die too! Just like my poor sister!"

Qi Dan tried his best to prop up his upper body, stared at Rong Yuan, and said grimly: "When I went to bury my mother, do you know what I saw? Qi Lin's body was dug out from the ground by wild dogs! The bones were scattered It's all over the place, dense bugs are crawling out of her eye sockets!"

Qidan choked out a sob: "My sister... She always likes to tidy herself up and look good when she's alive, but after she's dead... I can't even find her dead body! Do you know? You don't know anything! You don't even want to know!"

"Rong Yuan! You are superior, we people are just pets you keep on a whim. When you like it, you fiddle with it twice. If you don't like it, you don't even want to look at it! How can you live and die a group of ants? Will you take it to heart?"

"You repeatedly mentioned the deaths of Qilin and Qiyang, just because these two things hurt me the most." Rong Yuan said flatly, "Although... I do feel very sorry for their deaths, but It’s impossible to say how remorseful or self-doubting you are, and it’s even more impossible to feel guilty and compensate you because of this. You have to understand this.”

"What... what?"

Qi Dan froze for a moment, then became furious.

"How could you...how could you say such...so...as if it had nothing to do with you? If it wasn't for you...if you had shot earlier, how could Qilin have died?! In front of you, the moon wolf tribe counts What? You clearly knew that the moon wolf clan oppressed humans, but you still let them go, which led to... and, and my father... my father..."

"Because that's your own request." Rong Yuan interrupted him.

Qidan froze for a moment, a truly bewildered expression appeared on his face.

"Have you forgotten? When I asked your father and his party what they wanted, how did they answer?"

Qidan was stunned for a long time before recalling a conversation from his distant memory.

【My lord, I would like to ask you...to help us master the knowledge on the Tianzhou. 】
