Chapter 542 Sometimes Being Too Kind Is Also a Disadvantage
Seeing Ying Li talking about herself, Nalan Ruoxi's expression faded a little: "I don't like him."
Ying Li: "...then you and him?"
"Sister, there are some things I can't tell you, but I don't want to lie to you." Nalan Ruoxi said, "I don't like Yan Shiqing, but I have to be with him."
Ying Li was stunned. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Two years ago, you asked me about the descendants of immortals. Is this because of his identity as a descendant of immortals?"
Nalan Ruoxi did not refute.
"You are deceiving Yan Shiqing's feelings." Ying Li frowned, her face still a little pale. Rather than disapproving of Nalan Ruoxi's behavior, she seemed to be more worried about Nalan Ruoxi.
"Although I don't know what your unspeakable secret is, but Ruoxi, the debt of love is the most difficult to repay."
This can be seen from her.
"Sister, I am different from you." Nalan Ruoxi spoke calmly. She had no emotion when she spoke, as if she was stating something irrelevant. "I can do whatever it takes for the one I love, even if it means betraying my conscience, but you can't."
"The difference between you and me is that you are too kind, and I am selfish, so I won't be condemned by my conscience and won't suffer as much as you do."
Sometimes being too kind is a shortcoming, and being too empathetic to others is also a kind of suffering, isn't it?
There are so many sufferings in the world, but those who truly live freely and happily are those with weak moral sense and pure egoists.
Fu Sheng was listening to Nalan Ruoxi's words. This was the first time she had seen someone comment on her cold-bloodedness so calmly.
She had never met Nalan Ruoxi before, and even in Chuntao's memory, the image of Nalan Ruoxi was not clear.
But now through Jun Wu Chi's illusion, she felt that Nalan Ruoxi was really charming.
This charm comes from her clear understanding of herself.
This is something that neither Ying Li nor Fu Sheng himself can do.
"But you would give up your talent for Rong Jiu, and you would ask Master Wu Yu to save me. In the past two years, you are the person who cares about my health the most besides Yu Wei." Ying Li said softly, "Ruoxi, although you say you are selfish, there are not many people in this world who value friendship and loyalty more than you."
"That's because Rong Jiu is my lover, and you are my friend." Nalan Ruoxi was not moved by Ying Li's words, "I treat you well only because I like you."
Ying Li smiled helplessly. Cold sweat was still pouring out of her forehead, but her emotions were surprisingly calm. She did not continue the previous topic, but looked into Nalan Ruoxi's eyes for a while, then said, "Ruoxi, can I ask you to do me a favor?"
"You said."
Ying Li forced himself to sit up straight, then took out something from the space treasure.
The cold spread and the snow was refreshing. When that thing came out, the temperature of the whole room suddenly dropped by several degrees.
Fu Sheng's pupils widened slightly.
What Ying Li took out was - Qian Qiu Xue.
"This is..." Feeling the power of the sword that Ying Li took out, Nalan Ruoxi looked a little surprised.
"This is a magic sword that I forged a hundred years ago using the snow and fire from the Tianshan Mountains." Ying Li's hand gently stroked the blade of Qian Qiuxue's sword, and he spoke in a gentle voice, "When I forged it, I wanted to give it to my child. After Chi'er was born, I originally planned to wait until he could practice, and then give it to him as his natal sword."
Nalan Ruoxi listened to Ying Li's explanation and had some guesses in her mind, but she still asked, "What about now?"
"Now, I've changed my mind."
As expected, Ying Li handed Qian Qiu Xue to Nalan Ruoxi and said, "My body is no longer able to function. If possible, I would like you to help me find that child and give him this sword."
"This sword was forged with ancient fire, and it took me a hundred years. After it was completed, its power was unstoppable. Giving it to that child will make up for my debt to him."
Ying Li did not say who the child was, but Fu Sheng and Nalan Ruoxi both knew.
——It’s Feng Zhi’s child.
Nalan Ruoxi did not take the sword. She said disapprovingly: "Whether it is Feng Zhi or her child, you owe them nothing. It is not your fault at all. How can you make up for it?"
"Ruoxi, please..." Ying Li said in a soft voice, "Only this way can I feel better. Otherwise, even if I die in the future, I will not be at peace."
Hearing Ying Li use the word "please" to her, Nalan Ruoxi froze, her brows knitted tightly, her face showing reluctance: "You are really too stupid. If you do this, what about Chi'er?"
"Chi'er, I have other plans. I will give Yafeng to him." Ying Li lowered her eyebrows, and a shadow fell on her eyelashes. She only heard her say, "Ruoxi, do you still remember what the leader of Tianyan Sect said at Chi'er's birthday banquet? He said that the Hunyuan Pearl that Yuwei gave to Chi'er was the token of love that Feng Zhi gave to Yuwei."
"Of course I remember." Nalan Ruoxi said, "In order to find out Feng Zhi's whereabouts, I went to Tianyan Sect to find the Sect Master named Feng Yunqing, thinking that he would know something. I asked for an audience several times before I finally got to see him. But after he learned of my purpose, he changed his attitude at the banquet and said that what he said at the birthday banquet was just nonsense. I didn't ask a few questions before he asked me to leave Tianyan Sect."
"Feng Yunqing..." Ying Li murmured the name, as if he remembered something, his expression was a little excited, "His last name is Feng, do you think he could be..."
"No." Nalan Ruoxi interrupted Ying Li before she finished her words, "I had the same guess as you at the beginning, so I went to check Feng Yunqing's background, but Feng Yunqing is an orphan, without a father or a mother. The reason why his last name is Feng is because Venerable Jingwang picked him up and gave him his own character as his last name. The Feng in Feng Yunqing comes from the Feng in Shi Mingfeng, not the Feng in Feng Zhi."
Hearing Nalan Ruoxi's words, Ying Li's agitated mood calmed down and he said, "Even if he is not Feng Zhi's son, he should know something about Feng Zhi and Yu Wei. His behavior at the banquet did not seem to be fabricated."
"Chi'er has already taken over the identity of that child. If even the Primordial Pearl belongs to Feng Zhi, then I owe that child even more..."
As he spoke, Ying Li handed the Qianqiuxue in his hand to Nalan Ruoxi again, "So this sword is the only thing I can do to make up for it. Ruoxi, please help me..."
Ying Li's tone was mournful. Nalan Ruoxi looked at her, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "What if I didn't find it? Or Feng Zhi's child was not born back then? Or, what if the child is no longer alive when I find it?"
