Chapter 138: Their end, our beginning

There are always some memories in life that we don’t want to face. There is no rule for how many or how few there are, but if you look closely at your own heart, will you find at least one memory that you really don’t want to face?

I believe that this is the memory that Daotongzi is most unwilling to face… even though I have seen this scene for the second time.

The top of a mountain, a solitary cliff, in the midst of clouds and mist… a face covered in tears… eyes that went from joy to despair.

“I thought you would disappear forever, but I never thought you would really come.”

“Were you angry that I left suddenly last time? How could you be angry?”

“If you hadn’t come, I was determined to wait here forever… I knew you wouldn’t fail to come.”

“Why don’t you say anything? Are you upset that I’m wearing the veil again? Yes, you once said that it’s the human heart that’s hard to see, not the human face, so why bother with the veil? Don’t be upset. I just don’t want any strangers to see my face except you.”

The Taoist priest stopped less than 10 meters away from Wei Chaoyu. The wind on the lonely cliff blew the clothes of the two people fluttering… and also blew Wei Chaoyu’s white veil flying in the wind, revealing the smiling lips under the veil.

No matter what expression this person has, whether he speaks or not… the fact that he came here is a happy thing. Wei Chaoyu is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions. He cries when he cries, and he laughs when he laughs… she has always been like this.

She chattered on and on, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time and was about to erupt. This was a volcano of love, in Tao Tongzi’s heart and in Wei Chaoyu’s heart. This meeting between the two of them was just a rekindling of it.

Why else would Wei Chaoyu be so excited? And why did Dao Tongzi’s hand, hidden in his sleeve, almost pierce his palm?

One is happy, the other is sad… and the cause is nothing more than love… I actually don’t want to see this anymore, because this picture scroll of memories, now that it has reached this point, how obvious can the ending be? I always think of Ruoxue… but in a relationship, what is more cruel than separation is mutual destruction.

Dao Tongzi chose this path.

10 meters, 8 meters, 5 meters… What a short distance! Wei Chaoyu was getting closer and closer to Daotongzi, just a few steps away. She might have thrown herself into his arms. She said he didn’t like her wearing a veil, and in the process of walking over, she was also in a hurry to take off her veil.

“I want to fight with you.” I already know the lines… I want to close my eyes in despair. I and Dao Tongzi are one. How could I not know what Dao Tongzi was thinking at this moment? He felt that this relationship was his doing, so the way to end it was to use such a cruel method to make both of them sad and desperate.

If they fight, won’t all the affection be gone?

At this moment, I felt for the first time the innocence of Daotongzi. In the matter of love, he was even more innocent than the most naive child. He thought that two people fighting would turn their backs on each other, which is something only young children would do. But what he didn’t understand was that young children who fight would no longer hold a grudge and would still play together.

Lovers may be more hurt… but sometimes, even if the heart is broken to death, love is still love… although there is nothing more tragic than a heart that has died, this kind of sadness is definitely not caused by a fight.

“If I fight mercilessly later, she will also despair of me, right?” Dao Tongzi’s heart was bitter, and the pain cut his heart like a knife… Because at this moment, Wei Chaoyu, who was running towards him, heard this sentence and stopped, looking at Dao Tongzi with disbelief.

Fighting magic… the concept here refers to a method that people with irreconcilable differences would choose. After fighting magic, regardless of the outcome, they would generally choose to never see each other again.

Why did Tao Tongzi have to fight her when he came? At this moment… a touch of sadness appeared in Wei Chaoyu’s eyes. After so many days of getting along with each other, so many memories… and the night on this cliff, with the stars in the sky, the ending is that he has to fight me? Or is the result he wants to break this friendship through fighting? From then on, they will never see each other again?

I really can’t bear to watch anymore, but here… I can’t even close my eyes. I know what’s going to happen next. Indeed, the ending will not be rewritten. The Taoist monk stepped forward and said with unchanging determination, “I want to fight you in a battle of wits.”

At this moment, the wind blew and the clouds surged… Thick clouds piled up, and the sky was dark… But this sadness from heaven was no match for the sorrow in Wei Zhao Yu’s eyes, which seemed to have been frozen for a thousand years.

Her body involuntarily took two steps back… facing the expressionless Tao Tongzi, she only softly said two words, “Good,” “good.”

The Taoist monk thought that he would not be sad, and she had agreed… Didn’t that mean that she was also willing to cut off all ties with him? Wouldn’t that be good? But, it still hurt and made her feel sad for no reason! In addition, there was also an indescribable anger. How could she say yes? What the Taoist monk never understood was that love came from his heart, and no matter what Wei Chaoyu did, whether he loved him or not… had nothing to do with his own feelings.

He was like the monk who said he had taken a radical path, but he didn’t know it.

But in the midst of such complex emotions and inexplicable anger, Dao Tongzi had no way out. He just lightly clasped his fists, and the next moment, he struck out…began to perform hand gestures… While Dao Tongzi was doing this, Wei Chaoyu just looked at Dao Tongzi in despair. She looked at Dao Tongzi deeply for several seconds, and then she began to perform hand gestures as well.

When tears flowed down Wei Chaoyu’s face… Dao Tongzi closed his eyes…

I had no interest in watching the battle, just watching the white clouds drifting over the mountain, the misty fog… waiting numbly for the end… In fact, isn’t the end of Tao Tongzi the beginning of me? And Tao Tongzi looked at Ru Xue and shouted out a sentence. Is the end of Wei Chaoyu also the beginning of Ru Xue?

Although I didn’t intend to watch… I could still feel every move of Dao Tongzi. In this battle, Dao Tongzi chose all fierce attacking spells, while Wei Chaoyu only defended, defended, and defended… She never took the initiative to attack Dao Tongzi, and her eyes never shed tears.

This heartache… stirred the Taoist boy to madness. An inexplicable rage almost consumed him. He couldn’t figure out who he should hate. He just shouted, “You fight back? Why don’t you fight back? Do you look down on me? Or don’t you understand what I’m saying? I want you to fight me! If you don’t fight back, I’ll fight you to the death!”

A life-and-death struggle! That is the way enemies choose to fight… For the first time, Wei Chaoyu’s sad eyes showed a kind of despair that made people’s hearts cold.

“Okay, I’ll fight back.” Finally, the veil fell from her face in the midst of the fierce battle… and she said those words.

“That’s good…” The Taoist boy kept on chanting, in absolute rage and anger… He had forgotten that his own methods were becoming more and more fierce, and even I could feel that Wei Chaoyu had been injured and shocked by his defenses, but he was completely unaware of it.

Wei Chaoyu said he would fight back, and his hand gestures changed… They often practiced their magic together, and they were very familiar with each other’s methods. The Taoist boy immediately realized that the method Wei Chaoyu used was almost her most powerful one.

“She really doesn’t have any mercy left, that’s good.” Under the intense pain, Dao Tongzi had such a thought in his heart. He thought it was a relief… but he didn’t expect that he would be shocked. Under this shock, a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and he swallowed it down.

A person who is so angry that he vomits blood, and so hurt that he vomits blood… is definitely not fake. If it doesn’t reach this level, it’s just that he’s not sad enough, angry enough… Dao Tongzi was too lazy to think about these things. In terms of strength, he was stronger than Wei Chaoyu… he was just looking for a suitable technique to counter Wei Chaoyu’s so-called most powerful technique, and then give her some minor injuries. Will that be enough? Will the two of them be completely finished?

But what Dao Tongzi did not expect was that if this technique could not be countered, then the technique he was using now was enough to kill a cultivator.

The hand movements were quick… In such a battle, it was soon time for the spell to be completed… Dao Tongzi finished the last hand movement and released the spell, thinking only one thing in his mind: Is this the end?

But the next moment, when he looked up at Wei Chaoyu, he suddenly shouted in despair and madness, “No!”

Because Wei Chaoyu smiled at Dao Tongzi, he suddenly let go of the hand seal at the last moment, and the backlash of the spell caused her to vomit blood… Then Dao Tongzi’s spell came crashing down.

It was too late. Everything was too late. When Dao Tongzi held Wei Chaoyu in his arms, even though he had also absorbed half of the magic, it was still too late… Wei Chaoyu lay in Dao Tongzi’s arms. She said, “Cheng Dao, do you know? There is a kind of despair called, if you can’t see each other again, if you can’t be together, then every day of life will lose all meaning. I, I love you so much, from the first moment I saw you.”
