Fighter of the Destiny

The sun in the distance hung very low on the edge of the grassland. From the black line formed by the beast tide, many flying monsters flew out, blocking the light, and the world gradually darkened.

On the high platform of the mausoleum, among the green sycamore leaves, mottled shadows fell on them, as if the night had arrived early.

Night often symbolizes death and the end, but many times it also represents safety. Under the cover of night, people dare to do things that they usually dare not do, dare to express feelings that they usually dare not express, and dare to say many things that are usually inconvenient to say.

Those words are often the truth and are spoken from the heart.

At this time, they could no longer see each other's faces clearly, they could only see each other's eyes. Fortunately, their eyes are clean and bright. Chen Changsheng looked into her eyes and was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: Actually, I lied to you about something.

Xu Yourong was a little surprised and asked softly, What's the matter?

Chen Changsheng did not answer directly and said, The reason why I chose to lie to you was because... I was engaged.

After saying this, he felt a lot more relaxed, and he knew for sure why he felt relaxed.

After Xu Yourong heard these words, he was silent for a long time. He didn't know why, but he felt a little disappointed, but he didn't know why he was disappointed.

Once something like courage is taken out of the bag, it begins to bloom with countless brilliance and edge. It is difficult to put it back into the bag, and it is also difficult for it to become dim again.

Chen Changsheng looked into her eyes and continued: But I don't want to marry her, I will break off the engagement.

This is a supplement, an explanation, a declaration, a commitment. Although nothing happened between him and her, and he didn't know what the other person was thinking, but since he was tempted first, he had to do all these things cleanly, just like what his senior brother said, only by doing Only by doing things cleanly can you get beautiful results.

Xu Yourong felt that his eyes were too bright, so he lowered his head and thought a little annoyed in his heart, what are you talking about to me?

Then strangely, she thought of her fiancé. That guy tried every means to marry her... Yes, now, she had to admit that her fiancé was very good, even better than she imagined, but that guy This guy is too scheming and too hypocritical to be as sincere and reliable as this Snow Mountain Sect disciple.

Why would you compare him with that guy?

She suddenly thought of this, felt slightly flustered, and asked, Why don't you want to marry...that woman?

She asked this question because she wanted to hide her emotional changes and not think about those embarrassing things. She also really wanted to know what kind of woman he liked and what kind of woman he didn't like.

Chen Changsheng was silent for a while and said, My fiancée is very famous in our area.

Xu Yourong thought to himself that in the bitter cold land of the northwest, the once aristocratic families had declined. It was because of their intolerance that no matter how famous they were, they were just that, and he didn't understand it.

She's...proud.

Chen Changsheng thought about it seriously. Although he hated that woman, he didn't want to say too many bad things about her in front of other women. After considering his words, he continued: Maybe it's because of his family background. The environment he grew up in was different. , so she is really proud, not that she is arrogant or bossy, but that she is used to handling everything from a condescending position...including me.

Xu Yourong never liked those arrogant ladies from aristocratic families, so he said, You mean she looks down on you?

Chen Changsheng nodded.

Xu Yourong thought to himself that this man's talent was so outstanding, his knowledge was so extensive, and his temperament was so sincere. Even his fiancée looked down on him. He must be so proud and stupid, and his vision must be so bad.

He said: Actually, what I dislike the most is her pretentious attitude. She grew up eating whole grains, and she is not a god who eats wind and dew.

Xu Yourong agreed with him very much. Whenever she saw those senior sisters who liked the outer gate of Nanxi Zhai, their faces were covered in white gauze, they walked quietly, their skirts did not waver, and they did not show false colors to the world and did not eat the fireworks of the world, she felt that She felt uncomfortable, so she often sat alone on the cliff. Every once in a while, she would go to the small town to play cards and find some joy in life again.

But then for some reason, she agreed to the engagement.

Chen Changsheng continued: Actually, I know her thoughts very well, she just wants to take advantage of me.

Xu Yourong thought to himself that it was probably after he entered the Hidden Sect of the Snow Mountain Sect and began to show off his talents that his fiancée changed his mind when he saw a promising future. Thinking of this, her evaluation of the woman was even lower, even a little shameful - pride, stupidity, bad vision, all of which could still be saved, but this... was a moral issue.

It doesn't matter if you don't want this kind of woman. Breaking off the engagement is the best option.

She looked at Chen Changsheng and said comfortingly, feeling somewhat sympathetic to his experience.

Yes, I think so too, especially now, I think it is right to break off the engagement.

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said, these words were meant for her.

Xu Yourong looked at his increasingly bright eyes and heard the slight tremor in his voice, and couldn't help but be stunned. She is an extremely smart woman, how could she not understand what this means. She felt a little flustered again, and she was getting more and more flustered.

She remembered that she was also engaged and hadn't told him, thinking that this was the reason for her panic. However, she didn't understand that at certain moments, her heart beat too fast and she could easily panic.

The sky is dark, the phoenix leaves are fluttering, the numbness is getting warmer, and the high platform of the mausoleum looks like night.

For a long time, there was no sound.

Actually... I am also engaged. On the high platform shrouded in darkness, Xu Yourong's voice was very soft. If you didn't listen carefully, you could easily be drowned out by the sound of the green leaves on the sycamore tree.

Huh? Chen Changsheng's voice sounded surprised, he didn't expect it at all, and then quickly turned as pale as water.

Really? So that's it.

Maybe it was because the emotion in his voice was too obvious, and everyone could hear his loss and sadness, so Xu Yourong's second sentence came right after, the words were a little fast and hurried, but the meaning in his voice was very sure. , without any wavering.

But I don't want to marry him, and I definitely won't marry her.

It is also an explanation, a supplement, and a declaration. So... could it be a promise?

The high platform in the night became quiet again. After a while, Chen Changsheng laughed.

Xu Yourong was a little embarrassed and said, Why are you giggling?

Chen Changsheng said: It's nothing.

If Tang Thirty-Six was present, he would definitely add a sentence at this time, Only a ghost believes that there is nothing between you two.

Soon, Chen Changsheng came to his senses and thought that the other party's situation was not necessarily the same as his, or that he was overthinking it. He was a little curious, but also a little uneasy and asked: What kind of person is your... fiancé?

Xu Yourong said softly: He and I have known each other for many years. Although I almost forgot about his existence later, we actually knew him when we were very young. I remember clearly that he was a person at that time. A very annoying kid.”

Chen Changsheng faked Guangzheng and said, Little boys are often very annoying... and I am no exception.

Xu Yourong said: Anyway, because of something, I decided not to pay attention to him. Unexpectedly, he came back after a few years.

Chen Changsheng thought to himself that it was indeed disrespectful to act like this.

In our place...the engagement is a very important matter, and this marriage is arranged by the elders, so it is difficult to simply break off the engagement.

Xu Yourong thought he was a disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect in the northwest. The one in this sentence naturally refers to the Central Plains. To Chen Changsheng, he thought she was talking about the Demonic Realm where the Xiuling tribe settled.

He thought to himself that the Xiuling tribe had gone through so many hardships, and the number of surviving tribesmen was very small. Reproduction of offspring was a top priority. Only intermarriage was allowed, which was harsh, but it was indeed a bit cruel to girls who longed for love.

Since many years have passed...could it be...that your fiancé hasn't gotten better?

No. That guy's temperament has not changed at all, and has even become worse.

Xu Yourong thought about the incident mentioned in Shuang'er's letter, and the more she talked about it, the more depressed she became: I have to admit that that guy does have great qualities, but... he also has many shortcomings that are simply unacceptable.

This was the first time that Chen Changsheng heard such a hateful voice from her, and he thought to himself that it seemed that she really hated that fiancé.

On the surface, he seems to be indifferent to world affairs, kind and honest, but in fact he is deeply scheming and good at dancing.

When he said this, Xu Yourong was thinking about that guy who first entered Kyoto and somehow managed to get in touch with the Cardinal Office and entered the National Education Academy as a student. Through the struggle between the old royal family and the Holy Queen, , stirred up countless storms, and allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Kyoto and gain great benefits. How could such a person be a country boy who was ignorant of the world?

Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, It's really not good to act hypocritically.

Xu Yourong said sarcastically: It's more than that. This person also followed the trend and used some... means to please a noble person. The details of this are beyond my control.

This sentence is naturally talking about the relationship between someone and Luoluo. Chen Changsheng said sincerely: Logically speaking, I shouldn't say anything if we are not close, but... this kind of man is really undesirable.

As he spoke, he wanted to know, what exactly was the so-called... method?

In his opinion, her fiancé is a more dangerous enemy than her senior brother, because it sounds like she is complaining, angry and criticizing. But as the saying goes, only hope will lead to disappointment. Her complaining, angry and criticizing does not mean that she is Deep down in his heart, he might have had some vague expectations for his fiancé, so he naturally wanted to know more.

Xu Yourong did not answer his question immediately and remained silent.

Chen Changsheng thought in his heart, could it be that the method was so shameless that it was unspeakable?

Xu Yourong was thinking about the letters from Kyoto at this time.

Those letters came from Shuang'er, whom she trusted most, and Mo Yu.

In Shuang'er's letter, such a scene was described.

In the library of the National Education Academy in the bright spring, he hugged the young demon princess.

Mo Yu's letter described such a scene.

In the dragon cave at the bottom of Beixinqiao Well, he hugged the girl transformed from the black dragon.

Yes, no matter how many shortcomings there are, they can all be explained away. At most, she will break off the engagement and become a stranger, but she will not be so disgusted. Only these things she cannot bear. If she can bear it, that is the greatest thing for herself. humiliation.

He likes to flirt with women.

She described it as calmly and objectively as possible: And they are all ignorant little girls.

There was silence on the mausoleum platform shrouded in darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, a heavy blow suddenly sounded, followed by Chen Changsheng's angry voice.

What a shameless scum!

(The chapter name comes from the famous song by Leessang. I recommend everyone to listen to it. Although it has nothing to do with this chapter. In addition, what I said yesterday is only one chapter today, but suddenly, after calculation, I have fallen short of the 140,000 words promised at the beginning of the month. There is still a long way to go... I am horrified, so I continue to write. The next chapter should be about the same time, and I will be working hard tomorrow. I am tired and crying.)
