Chapter 586 – His Choice

　　Zhou Ping’s body trembled slightly as he looked at Zuo Qing’s eyes.

　　Zuo Qing cleared his throat, and in Ye Fan’s tone, slowly said, ”Zhou Ping, you don’t need to feel guilty, nor do you need to feel sorry for me, the life exchange, is a decision I made on my own, you don’t need to pay any responsibility for it.

　　After my death, Zuo Qing will block the news of my life exchange, claiming to the public that it was a self-sitting death, no one will know that you are still alive, no one will pay attention to you, and no one will force you to fulfill any so-called duties.

　　You have already died once for me, for Da Xia, now I give you back your life, you can choose to go and be yourself, live the life you want.

　　In this life, you are no longer a Da Xia Sword Saint, you don’t have to live for anyone.

　　Stay in that local food restaurant, at ease as a waitress or not, find a kind and gentle woman, get married and start a family or not, you can do anything you want to do ……

　　If one day, Da Xia really suffers a crisis of extinction, perhaps you can step in and help it once within your power …… if you are willing.”

　　As Zuo Qing’s words fell, Zhou Ping lowered his head and fell into silence.

　　Zuo Qing also no longer said anything, just silently bowed his head and ate, and when the bowl of food and rice was eaten cleanly, he left a few pieces of money on the tabletop and slowly stood up.

　　”Ye Fan’s words, I’ve brought them all, I won’t bother you again in the future, goodbye.”

　　After saying that, Zuo Qing turned around and pushed open the door of the vegetable restaurant, his figure disappeared in the alleyway.

　　Zhou Ping looked at the empty plates and bowls in front of him, didn’t get up to clean them up, just sat there quietly, stunned.

　　He didn’t think that he would come back in this form, and even more so, he didn’t think that in order to save him from coming back, Ye Fan had sacrificed his own life.

　　When he knew what happened from the mouths of several Ying Ling, he only felt that his entire brain had turned into a paste, and his heart was indescribably difficult to say …… Sacrificing Ye Fan to get his life back was not what he wanted.

　　But, everything had already happened.

　　Zhou Ping’s brain was now in a mess.

　　The fragrance of the floating dishes suddenly drilled into his nostrils, pulling his disorganized thoughts back, he turned his head, only to see that his third uncle was carrying two dishes and a soup, standing beside him.

　　”Third Uncle ……,” Zhou Ping spoke blankly.

　　Third uncle unhurriedly placed the dishes on the table in front of him, handed him a pair of chopsticks, and then sat down on the seat opposite him, holding that old cadre teacup and gently blowing on the hot air wafting up from the cup.

　　”Eat, after being away from home for so long, you should miss the dishes at home, right?” He said with a smile.

　　Zhou Ping gazed at the steaming dishes in front of him, somewhat in a trance, he held his chopsticks and gently nodded.

　　”Uh-huh.”

　　”Eat more.”

　　”Good.”

　　Zhou Ping used his chopsticks to clip a few dishes and ate with a stuffy head.

　　Familiar environment, familiar people, familiar flavor …… For a moment, Zhou Ping even felt that he had returned to a few months ago, that time when the years were quiet.

　　”After being busy outside for so long, are you tired?” Third uncle looked at Zhou Ping and asked.

　　”…… Tired.”

　　”The outside world is always more tiring than home.” Third Uncle paused, “Then, do you still want to go back?”

　　Zhou Ping’s hand that was clamping the food gave a slight lurch.

　　”I …… don’t know.” He said bitterly.

　　Third uncle held his teacup, looked at him for a long time, and grinned.

　　”Actually, before, Third Uncle had already mapped out your future path.

　　You don t like to talk, cooking is also clumsy, the future ah this restaurant you are not expected to inherit the …… third uncle have thought well, when I earn enough money, this store is also fast dying time, we will sell this restaurant, and then go to the outskirts of the city to buy two sets of one hundred square feet of small houses.

　　One for you to get married and one for me to retire.

　　With the house, you want to go wherever you want to work, or change the place to work as a waiter, can, we do not need to earn too much money, Xijin is not a big city, earn enough money to spend, enough to marry a wife can also be.

　　By the time I go to find our village before the few matchmakers, to give you a wife, look it does not have to be too good-looking, but must be virtuous, can take care of you, but also filial piety, after all, uncle I have no children, and when I’m old and alone, you can only count on the two of you.

　　In a few years, I will be at home by myself, when I have nothing to do, I will stir-fry two dishes, carry roast chicken and beer to the next door to find you two, let’s have a drink and chat, and help you take care of the children, isn’t it very comfortable?

　　We don’t want to make a lot of money, we don’t want to make a name for ourselves, we just want to live our lives in peace and security. ……”

　　Zhou Ping ate the dishes while imagining that future depicted by the third uncle, the corner of his mouth vaguely surfaced a smile.

　　Third uncle took a sip of tea and continued:

　　”It’s normal for young people to be confused when it comes to things, it always takes time to settle down and think, but most importantly, ask yourself about your own heart.

　　Just said these, are just three uncle’s own fantasies, you are already so big, do not need to be bound by my ideas, the future of your own road, or you have to walk yourself.

　　If you want to stay and live this life peacefully, Third Uncle can guarantee that you will not be wronged in this city;

　　If you want to leave, go outside to intrude, third uncle may not be able to help you, but when you are tired of intruding one day, come back here …… third uncle can still arrange you properly.”

　　Third uncle holding the old cadre teacup, confidently said, as if this moment he is no longer a small vegetable restaurant boss, but a big man in Xijin City who has a hand in the sky.

　　Zhou Ping finished all his meals and put his chopsticks down, for some reason, his eyes were a little moist.

　　He raised his head and looked at the sky outside the door, his eyes flashed with complex colors.

　　The original heart ……

　　He reached out his hand and gently placed it on his chest, as if asking himself, what kind of life did he really want?

　　Is it a peaceful and stable establishment in the suburbs of the city, marrying a wife and having children, and living a life in peace and quiet, and

　　Or ……

　　At this moment, his mind flashed through many images.

　　In the dimly lit underground garage, those few people stood behind him, bowed deeply, and said in unison “Please ask the Great Summer Sword Saint to behead the God.”

　　In the mist, Lin Qiye and the others rode the clouds before the twin gods, smiling and telling him that there was no need to doubt or be afraid because he was the one who walked in the forefront of mankind;

　　In the magnificent atmosphere of the Buddhist temple, that golden Buddha body sitting on the ground, looking at the black coffin, smiling and silent ……

　　His chest, that glazed heart beating strongly, this body built for him, able to carry the power of the law, with the beating of the glazed heart and gently trembling, as if in anticipation of something.

　　After a moment, Zhou Ping’s eyes gradually brightened.

　　The reason why his heart, his body, his Laws, and his sword …… all of this existed was not to allow him to hide in the outskirts of the city and spend the rest of his life in silence.

　　Everything he had was made for the God Beheading.

　　If one just buries his head into the ground, not looking at the crises that are close at hand, and wants to preserve and go through this life alone …… What is the difference between this and escaping reality?

　　His sword heart, with his body of this God Beheading, will not agree.
