"Shigetsuki-kun?"
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is a person of six realms of impermanence. Long Miao looked at him without saying a word. To this day, he has no intention of accepting Cang Yu. That guy has an indescribable arrogance, which is especially obvious when he faces humans.
"Yes, Mr. Shuangyue." Although he was far away, Cangyu still bent down and said to Kapok like a child, "This brother of yours hasn't been home for a long time. Please help me persuade him to come back with me." Go to the home where the tribesmen live. What does it feel like to mix with humans every day?”
Kapok didn't know how to answer, he just wanted to refute. But when she heard this, it made sense from the perspective of being an older brother, but her little mind couldn't quite figure it out. Mu Wan had a dark face and her tone was still very rude to him:
"It doesn't matter whether you want to be a human or a monster. It depends on what he thinks."
"Hey, you worry too much... Just human beings should not get involved in the affairs of monsters." Cangyu held his fan horizontally, "Otherwise I would be rude to you. If it weren't for the sake of watching you speak for Longmiao, , I have already taken action."
The Tengu suddenly turned his head and moved his gaze to the direction behind her. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be attracted by anything at this time. But as soon as it came, Mu Wan also moved his eyes slightly back. The eyes haven't seen anything yet, but the ears have heard extremely subtle sounds.
There must be someone on the roof behind.
She looked back, and so did Long Miao and Kapok. There was indeed someone standing on the roof, and even Kapok didn't notice it this time. Only Cang Yu could see this angle, but his eyes never looked there. Long Miao was not stupid. He had already guessed that the tall and thin man with his sleeves tucked in his sleeves and a look of unspeakable contempt should be the Lord Shuangyue mentioned by Cang Yu.
He stood on the roof, his chin slightly raised, his eyes should have been looking at the sky, but he moved his eyes downwards, and his dark pupils were like two holes, looking at them blankly. Not to mention Kapok was startled, even Long Miao shuddered. If the Tengu's keen hearing hadn't captured something, they might not have noticed there was another person on the roof until now.
"Huh? What are you looking at me doing?"
Shuoyue-kun's feather fabric decorated with white frost marks, the wide hem of his clothes, and the lead-gray thick long hair were all swaying gently in the breeze. His expression was cold, and so was his tone.
"Continue?" he continued, "Aren't you going to fight?"
"Who wants to start a fight?" Mu Wan was a little angry and said, "It's you who neglected your duty and didn't do anything practical."
Lord Shuangyue tilted his head, frowned, and raised it slightly. He let out a contemptuous laugh and said:
"You escaped from death in Qinglian Town, but why haven't you improved at all compared to the last time we met? It's not polite to casually define you as derelict in your duties. What the Lord wants is to let this half-demon friend make his own decisions. Choice. If he wants to be a human, let him concentrate on cultivation; if he wants to be a monster, let him be."
"Wait..." Long Miao felt strange, "But, last time, Jiyue-kun and Yeyue-kun, didn't they say they would help me become an adult? I thought you were impermanent and hoped that I could live as a real human being."
"We have six paths of impermanence -" Mr. Shuangyue sighed, "Hey, we have six paths of impermanence, and our words don't count. Twelve people, unifying twelve opinions, is more difficult than reaching the sky. Who doesn't follow that person? What does the adult want to do? And the adult never said that he would interfere with your choice and let you become a human... It must be the wishful thinking of those two guys."
Cang Yu probably knew about this. He looked at those people provocatively, but pretended to be gentle and said:
"That's the way things are. You're afraid that you were deceived by those two people. Lord Shuangyue still understands the righteousness. So, what choice do you want to make? Should you follow the wishes of those two selfish ghosts, or should you seriously consider it... "
"Ah." Shuoyue Lord suddenly interrupted, "But, what I want to say is... no matter you become a human or a monster, if you do something extremely sinful, such as killing too many people... we can't just sit back and watch. That's what that adult means. As long as there is any impermanent ghost, he will be responsible for the choices you make. I tell you so straightforwardly, and I don't expect you to be obedient and not cause trouble. It's just that I'm too lazy to explain more. Let’s think about it.”
Kapok looked at Long Miao, who looked terrible, and then at Shuang Yuejun, who was calm and composed. The latter was probably really flustered, so he stretched out his hand and picked up his nails with one hand. She asked him loudly:
"Then if he turns into a human and kills someone, does that count?"
"Nonsense." Mr. Shuangyue rolled his eyes, "Killing the adult before he blames him is considered as taking responsibility for the mission and there is no need to be punished. I made it very clear. As for how to choose, let him decide by himself. Bar."
Kapok scratched his head. She always felt that things were not as simple as she thought, but in fact, there was no need to be complicated for her. She looked at Long Miao again and said, "Then what do you think now?"
"I... don't know. I just want to do what I want to do."
"What do you want to do?" Mu Wan asked.
"Live well. If...this counts."
Kapok put his hands on his hips in a serious manner, as stern as a young teacher. She said to Long Miao seriously:
"Why doesn't it count? Do you monsters have to become some world-famous monster to be considered successful? Many monsters have a hard time just living seriously. Simple ideals are nothing to laugh at."
Mu Wan agreed: "It's the same as being a human being. It doesn't mean that you have to be a high-ranking official, rich in salary, and have good clothes and good food, just to do what you want to do. In the war years, it was a great gift for ordinary people to have enough to eat. In today's peaceful and prosperous age, having such There are not a few people who have ordinary wishes. I also think that you don’t have to feel humbled by your wish.”
"What are you mumbling about?" Cang Yu was unhappy again, "I told you several times not to meddle in other people's housework."
His eyes became alert, really like an egret looking for food in the shallows. While searching carefully for prey, they are also cautiously wary of natural enemies. If he wanted to have a fight, Mu Wan would be with him at any time, but he didn't know where Shuangyue Lord, a highly skilled martial artist, stood.
Or, he doesn't want to care about anything at all and just wants to watch the show.
What does he want?
"You are very strange." Kapok looked at Cang Yu and then at Mu Wan, "Actually, I just used us monsters as an example. But why, Long Miao can't be a half-demon - he is himself, why? To cater to someone, make some changes."
"Half-demon is not stable." Shuangyue Lord said coldly, "Inner thoughts and real power are unstable. Sometimes one's ability is not enough to match one's wishes. At this time, it is easy to He feels frustrated and angry, and even kills for no reason. If possible, I certainly hope that he can make his own choice."
Mu Wan took a deep breath and became a little concerned about this matter. She looked at Long Miao repeatedly and felt that no matter how she looked at him, he was just an ordinary person. And these two sides are so aggressive, and she herself will never be happy.
"Okay, why are you arguing? Long Miao, let me ask you, as a half-demon, is it really not okay?"
"Nothing will work." Although Tong Miao has not determined his final thoughts, he is more foresighted than at first, "I know that I need a sense of belonging. As a human being, I have experienced all kinds of things in a short period of time. There are good things and bad things, good people and bad people, but this does not affect my choice. On the contrary, when the time comes, I will thank Jiyue-kun and Hazuki-kun... and become a youkai. The reason why I don't want to do this is because I worry about myself. They are also assimilated, and under the control of instinct, they do things they don’t want to do.”
"Isn't it instinct that makes people sick and die at work?" Cang Yu began to understand.
"The long and useless boring time is not attractive to me." Long Miao responded indifferently, "The short and rich life is probably more attractive to me. Although life will definitely be less convenient, at the same time, human beings are also making Create your own convenience.”
Mu Wan looked at him seriously.
"If it were you, as a half-demon... maybe it would be feasible."
"What?" Long Miao was confused.
"I mean, maybe you can maintain that balance."
After saying that, she raised her head again and looked at the cold-faced Liudao Wuchang. she shouted:
"If I am willing to guarantee that this half-demon will never do anything bad in his life, what are your plans for the six realms of impermanence?"
"Huh. What if he did?"
"While I'm alive, I can take responsibility for him. Whether it's punishment or scolding, it doesn't matter."
Long Miao quickly grabbed her.
"Are you crazy? No matter what half-demon says, his lifespan is much longer than that of a normal person. If you die, who should I believe?"
"On your own." Mu Wan blurted out, "My father has taught me since I was a child that people must live on their own."
Mr. Shuangyue stared at them with a stiff expression, wondering if he was seriously considering it. Cang Yu was a little worried. After all, he came with Mr. Shuangyue in the first place, and he even talked about some random trivial matters on the way. If his brother was really persuaded by these two words and forcefully "corrected" Long Miao, Lord Shuangyue would naturally be rude to him.
"Are you...persuasive?"
"What?" Mu Wan didn't hear the meaning of Lord Shuangyue's words.
"Have you ever touched the water of the lotus pond? It will expose you to the sins of your life, including the bad things in the future that you have not done yet - ah, of course, you are indeed much cleaner than the average knight. .”
"What do you mean?"
Mu Wan wasn't questioning, but he really didn't understand. But when the other person said this, she felt it was very important.
"There is a mark on the back of your neck, which is proof of the sin left in the lotus pond. How can you be responsible for a half-demon like this? It sounds a bit ridiculous."
Mu Wan felt a little panic. She lifted her hair and asked Kapok:
"Look, is there anything behind me?"
"There is a piece of red skin, is it a birthmark?" Kapok asked, "But the skin on it is tender and rough... Oh, how can I put it, it's like a piece of skin has been burned."
First, a strong sense of surprise enveloped her.
"I don't know, I...maybe there are other places on my body...but, how could this happen? Damn it..."
"Ah, you don't have it anywhere else." Lord Shuangyue tilted his head to the other side, "The eyes of the Six Paths of Impermanence can distinguish it."
Mu Wan was furious for a moment. But she quickly calmed down. Firstly, the occasion did not permit it and there was no point in making a fuss. Secondly, she felt relieved. She had probably lived an ordinary life. She only had a headache about the mark. Although she couldn't see it normally, the fact that the woman left such a scar still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"So, convince me." Lord Shuangyue said.
