Chapter 390: Chapter 83 Preserving Bloodline_3
Hearing Yan Shi’s words, Ah Dai and Yan Li fell silent. Neither of them had considered this. Yan Shi was right; if he indeed married Zhuo Yun, this would indeed be an inevitable problem.
A breeze blew over, gently stirring the surface of the Elf Lake, as the three of them remained silent.
After a while, Ah Dai could no longer contain his doubts and asked, "Brother, are you really willing to give up like this?"
Yan Shi raised his head, gazing at the myriad stars in the sky, giving a bitter smile, "And what if I don’t give up? I can’t not give up! It’s better to end the pain quickly. While nothing has developed between us, it’s best to make a clean break." He lowered his head to look at Ah Dai by his side, "Brother, truth to be told, you’re also facing the same problem like me, and even worse, in fact."
Ah Dai was startled, "The same problem? How could I have the same problem as you?"
Yan Shi laughed, "You indeed have. I say your problem is more severe because the one who has taken a liking to you is not an ordinary elf, but the Princess of the Elf Clan."
Ah Dai was startled, "What? You’re saying..."
Yan Shi casually commented, "You are really dim. Haven’t you noticed something different in the way Xing Er looks at you? I had noticed back when we were still in Sunset City. Xing Er often gazes at you in a trance. Normally, she’s always smiling, but when she looks at you, her face reveals a touch of infatuation. Have you not felt it all this time?"
Ah Dai’s expression subtly changed, he shook his head, "No, it can’t be. I’m so ugly, and Xing Er is so beautiful, how could she like me? Brother, you must have misunderstood. Xing Er probably just has a soft spot for me because I was the first one to rush into the room to save her. Don’t talk about this to others! It will cause misunderstandings."
Yan Li chuckled, "My naïve brother, our elder brother is right. Everyone else understood Xing Er’s feelings towards you. When you were wounded, her frantic worry was something no one could fake. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Zhuo Yun."
Ah Dai looked bewilderedly at Yan Shi and Yan Li, shaking his head repetitively, "No, it can’t be. I, I can’t..." He had always regarded Xing Er as his little sister, and hearing Yan Shi’s words now, felt utterly baffled. Xing Er liked him? If it were true, how could he face her?
Yan Shi patted Ah Dai on the shoulder, "Brother, don’t overthink it. The concerns that I have, you have them too. Forget it, even though the girls of the Elf Clan are beautiful, they are not suitable for us. I think there’s only one solution to our problem."
Ah Dai looked surprised, "What solution?"
Yan Shi heaved a sigh, his gaze falling onto the Elf ancient tree in the center of Elf Lake, "Escape. Only when we leave this place can we completely solve these problems. With the passage of time, perhaps we’ll slowly forget them, and they’ll also forget us. Hopefully, time will wash away everything." As he said these words, he also questioned himself if he could truly forget Zhuo Yun.
Ah Dai nodded quickly, "Yes, that’s a good solution! Although we did not complete Aunt Elf’s mission perfectly, we did fulfill it. It’s indeed time for us to leave. Brother, what are your plans?"
Yan Shi responded, "Originally, I wanted to accompany you to meet your teacher, Goris. I wanted to see what kind of charisma he had that made you obsessed with him. When we have been together, you would mention him at least once every few days. But now, I can’t. Yan Li and I are still too weak. In the last two years, we could only watch helplessly while you faced life-and-death situations, being unable to help. That painful feeling made it clear to me that power represents everything. I have already decided to return to the Pu Yan Clan with Ah Li to practice the True Qi given to us by the Judgment Chief and enhance our power. If a giant calamity truly comes, perhaps we can contribute. Alright, let’s leave now while it’s still dark. Otherwise, if the Elf Queen notices us, we may not be able to leave. They’ve all seen the elves’ hospitality. Let’s go. It’s time for us to leave." Saying this, he stood up and stretched, a look of helplessness and sorrow in his eyes as he gazed at the treehouse where Zhuo Yun was resting.
Ah Dai asked, "Shall we leave now? Should we leave a message for Aunt Elf?"
Yan Shi thought for a moment, looking at the plan soil by the lakeshore, and said, "Let’s leave a message here to save them from worrying."
Ah Dai stepped forward, extending his right hand. A greenish-yellow light shot out, and his wrist trembled. Within a moment, a line of words had been etched by him. It read: Aunt Elf, we have completed the task you entrusted us with. My two elder brothers and I have some matters to attend to, please forgive us for leaving without notice. Take care. From Ah Dai. As he wrote these words, his body’s True Qi was incredibly harmonious and clear, almost obeying his thoughts instantly. The moment a thought came to him, his fingers swiftly applied the necessary transformations to complete the writing process. Since leaving the Church and traveling quickly, he only noticed his difference at this moment. Earlier, the second golden body in his chest was just passively there, but now, the moment he activated his power, the second golden body would emanate a faint glow, not only fully protecting his internal organs but also seemingly affecting the energy emitted by the Silver Body, intensifying its energy.
