Before leaving the training tower, I took a look at Yao Shijie, who was holding the moon among the stars, and felt mixed emotions in my heart.
I suddenly remembered a lyric I heard on Blue Star, which was sung by Eason Chan - that year, when I was 18, at the alma mater dance, I stood like a slave, extending the scene in the lyrics to here, wasn't I exactly that The minions in the audience?
Right now, I can only look up at Yao Shijie from a distance, silently watching him exude brilliance. This huge gap visible to the naked eye makes me feel quite uncomfortable.
While I was surfing the Internet, Ye Yuyou, who was standing by me, saw that I was in a low mood and couldn't help but ask, "Why did Yao Shijie get so excited by my listless look?"
"A little bit." I said honestly.
"Relax, Yao Shijie is already twenty years old, you are only eighteen." Ye Yuyou comforted: "When you are twenty, you will definitely be able to reach three stars. Just thinking about it will make you feel more comfortable."
"It's true." My mood improved a lot.
Yes, Yao Shijie was nineteen years old when he entered school last year, and he was only in the Three Soul Realm at that time.
At the same age, he is not as good as me!
"Thinking about it this way, I feel much more balanced." I smiled and said, "By the way, what are you going to do later? Go back to the dormitory?"
"No, I'm going to the arena."
"Arena?" I stopped and was slightly stunned.
"Alas." Ye Yuyou sighed, looking helpless, "My poor brother owes a lot of foreign debt. As the best sister in the world, how can I just sit back and do nothing."
I scratched my head and said, "Actually...if you give me some time, I should be able to pay it off."
"It's better to pay it back together than by one person, isn't it?" Ye Yuyou patted my shoulder and said with a smile: "If I help you share more of the pressure, you can bring Sister Lin Wei back sooner."
Hearing this, a warm current suddenly flowed through my heart, and I said emotionally: "Don't worry, I will definitely break through to three stars this year, and then the three of us will go out to eat and drink together!"
"good!"
The two of us parted ways near the arena.
"This girl got on the freshman list without anyone noticing."
I took a special look at the combat power list on the campus card and found that Ye Yuyou was ranked at thirty-nine. This ranking is considered to be at the forefront among the freshmen in the Three Soul Realm.
Ye Yuyou didn't say anything, but I really didn't pay attention.
"Having said that, it's almost the three-day time limit, and Sun Hongwei still hasn't made any move. It seems that he is really going to abstain..." I murmured to myself after taking a look at the time.
Buzz!
At this time, the campus card was shaken again. I glanced at the campus card and saw Xiao Jingying, who had not replied to me for a day, finally replying to the message.
"Sorry, Brother Ye, I just came back from the training ground and saw your news."
Seeing that Xiao Jingying finally replied to the message, I was afraid that she would not be able to find anyone again, so I quickly asked: "Why don't you even attend class? What happened recently?"
"Nothing, just some small things."
Me: "What little thing can make you miss class?"
After this message was sent, there was no reply from Xiao Jingying for a long time.
"If there's anything that can't be solved, just say it. Aren't we friends? Don't always think about facing it alone!" I sent the message again, but after my message was sent, it was like a stone sinking in the sea, without causing any concern. movement.
Just when I was anxious, Xiao Jingying finally sent a message.
"Brother Ye, I... feel very helpless now."
Small gathering tavern.
This tavern has wine and folk songs, and the atmosphere is full of atmosphere. It is a favorite of many students, but this is my first time here. Deep in the tavern, I saw Xiao Jingying, who was drinking alone.
At this time, Xiao Jingying looked like she had drunk a lot, and her face was drunk.
I hurriedly walked forward and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Brother Ye." Xiao Jingying looked at me and said, "Do you think I'm useless? After so many things, I'm still only in the mid-two-star stage."
"Why do you say that?"
"I just learned the news a few days ago. Something happened in my home. The evil spirits invaded my hometown." Xiao Jingying said mockingly: "Many people have died, but I can't do anything. I can only watch helplessly." Watch this happen.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Jingying drank another glass of wine, as if she wanted to relieve the depression and pain in her heart in this way, and she shed tears while drinking.
I was silent. Xiao Jingying told me that her hometown was in a similar situation to Blue Star. There were also ghost masters and they were also invaded by resentful spirits.
"Is it serious?" I finally asked after a long time.
Xiao Jingying nodded and said: "It's very serious. It is said that a late-three-star vengeful spirit appeared this time. Although the whole world was used to kill it, it paid an extremely heavy price. The war is still continuing."
Hearing this, I also had mixed emotions.
Now I completely understand why Xiao Jingying became like this. If it were me, knowing that such a big thing happened to Blue Star, my reaction might not be as good as Xiao Jingying's.
Based on my personality, I probably rushed back in a hurry the day I found out about it.
"Where are the ghost masters? They didn't go to help?"
When the word ghost master was mentioned, Xiao Jingying sneered and said: "They ran away long ago. Only a few conscience ghost masters are still on the front line to help my people resist, and most of the other ghost masters ran away immediately. "
"...All the crows in the world are as black as black." I said with a wry smile.
The ghost masters of Blue Star were also like this. Not only did they not help fight against the invasion of the resentful spirits, but they also took advantage of the situation. The destruction of Yang Province was the most typical example.
"As soon as the ghost master left, the connection with the Holy World was basically severed. There were no reinforcements at all. We had to rely on ourselves." Xiao Jingying smiled, her tone full of sadness: "The funny thing is, I know that my relatives The friends and tribesmen are in dire straits, but I can only watch all this happening, without being able to help at all."
"Brother Ye, do you think I'm useless?" Xiao Jingying laughed at herself.
Hearing this, I was silent for a moment, and then drank a glass of wine.
"I understand your feelings and your helplessness, but... I think you have done a good job. You will not think about food and drink for the safety of your hometown, you will feel sad for the loss of your tribe, and you will also You will feel guilty that you are not strong enough, and you will go to the training ground to practice hard in order to help. All of this shows that you tried your best."
"Maybe the effect is limited, but in my opinion, this...is enough."
"Not everyone has the ability to stand in front of tens of thousands of people. Ordinary people like you and me, as long as we try our best and contribute our own light and heat, that will be enough."
"Who says that only those who stand in the light are heroes? Ordinary people like us can also become extraordinary heroes!"
