Chapter 1792: Chapter 1791: Dominant Consciousness
He didn’t know what was happening. Hearing the crackling sound of fireworks outside the window, his heart started racing wildly, as if something was about to break through the ground. He desperately suppressed it, and when he finally managed to subdue that unknown aura, he was drenched in cold sweat.
He knew that perhaps the sound of the firecrackers had awakened the Divine Sense of the past Chu Chengfeng.
Among their Phoenix Clan, there were quite a few who had experienced similar phenomena.
The awakening of the bloodline, an imperfect consciousness fusion, or perhaps due to certain factors, the awakened consciousness resisting the current fragment of consciousness.
Naturally, they couldn’t merge together.
If they couldn’t merge, there were only two ways: either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
Either the past takes control, or the present takes control.
No matter what, only one can dominate the consciousness.
And now, the consciousness dominating him was the past Chu Chengfeng.
The one being suppressed was the Chu Chengfeng who had lived in the Chu Family for over twenty years.
Just like others, some would gradually dissipate, and it wouldn’t have much impact.
However, there was a fragment of Divine Sense that, due to an unfulfilled wish, refused to dissipate.
Ordinarily, it went unnoticed until a specific event triggered it.
And his current situation was exactly like that.
But how would he know what unfulfilled wish the past Chu Chengfeng had?
Deep within him, there seemed to be an angry voice roaring. He could only use mana to desperately suppress that fragment of consciousness until the voice gradually disappeared and could no longer be heard...
Chu Chengfeng looked over at Liu Ling, who was talking with his sisters on the sofa.
On the surface, Liu Ling always appeared to be a gentle and easygoing person, so the two sisters of the Chu Family easily chatted with her, though their expressions were somewhat complex. After all, Sima Xiaowen’s personality suited them better.
Before Liu Ling was brought back, the youngest sister had already asked him whether this new future sister-in-law was as impressive as Sister Xiao Wen, because the two sisters greatly enjoyed going out with Sima Xiaowen.
Clearly, both sisters were somewhat disappointed in their hearts.
He couldn’t imagine how the previous Sima Xiaowen interacted with his sisters, but he knew that back then, whether among the Phoenix Clan or the Phoenix Clan members, it seemed more people favored Sima Xiaowen.
Although this was inseparable from Elder Sima’s status and indulgence, she herself had a certain charm, which Chu Chengfeng had to admit.
But no matter how good the past was, he remembered none of it.
Moreover, it was all in the past now.
The important thing is the future, right?
But what was that overwhelming emotion just now all about?
He really wanted to call Sima Xiaowen and ask what the past Chu Chengfeng promised her, what unfulfilled wish there might be...
But he would never make that call because he vaguely guessed that it was a wish he could never fulfill.
At this thought, Chu Chengfeng suddenly stood up from the sofa and quickly headed towards the foyer.
The TV was on, and the radio was playing; although there weren’t many Chu Family Members, at this moment everyone was gathered together, creating a lively atmosphere.
No one noticed Chu Chengfeng’s moment of loss, but Liu Ling did.
She frowned, watching the direction in which Chu Chengfeng left, bit her lip, swallowed her emotions, forced a smile, and gently said, "I just noticed that Big Brother Chu didn’t look well; I’ll go check on him."
The youngest sister of the Chu Family said nothing, and the second sister quickly responded, "Liu Ling, then you go ahead."
Liu Ling stood up and chased after Chu Chengfeng in the direction he went.
The second sister and the youngest sister of the Chu Family exchanged a glance. The youngest sister shrugged her shoulders, pouted slightly, and quietly said, "Second sister, what do you think of her?"
"No matter what she’s like, things are already like this; what else can we do?"
The second sister of the Chu Family replied like a tongue twister.
"Sigh, I really don’t know what Big Brother is doing, suddenly breaking up with Sister Xiao Wen just like that. They used to be so good together, and Big Brother even promised to take Sister Xiao Wen to set off fireworks on New Year’s Day..."
Both sisters of the Chu Family knew about this, and they also knew that for this, Chu Chengfeng had specially ordered a truckload of fireworks.
"Do you think Big Brother will still go tomorrow?"
"Are you silly? Now there’s someone new by his side, so how can he possibly go set off fireworks like before? If Liu Ling finds out these fireworks were for Sister Xiao Wen, how could she let Big Brother get away with it?"
The youngest sister of the Chu Family frowned, puzzled, and said, "Actually, it shouldn’t be that bad, right? After all, at that time Big Brother was with Sister Xiao Wen, and if those fireworks aren’t set off this year, they won’t be preserved well and would go to waste. I heard there are many new kinds; I even told my classmates about it, but in the end..."
The boast was made, but it was all for naught.
"Don’t think about these things anymore. You may see Liu Ling as gentle and mild, but she might not be as easy to talk to as Sister Xiao Wen," advised the second sister of the Chu Family.
"But I think she has a pretty good temper."
"She may seem to have a good temper, but let me tell you, you know a person’s face but not their heart."
"Didn’t Big Brother also say that it’s all his fault and has nothing to do with Liu Ling?"
"I know, for sure it’s Big Brother’s fault. He’s done it before; that girl back then even said that Big Brother would get his comeuppance sooner or later. I think it’s coming soon."
"Alright, it’s New Year’s, let’s not curse Big Brother. He gives us enough red packets to last a year for pocket money, alright let’s drop it..."
The two gossiping little girls finally fell silent.
And at this moment, Chu Chengfeng had already crossed the foyer and entered his bedroom.
Because he found that there seemed to be an issue with his cultivation.
Due to the crazy suppression just now, there was a rupture in some places’ Spiritual Energy, which was not a great thing for their Phoenix Clan.
Though the problem was not too severe, it wasn’t good either.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to regulate his breath, and at this moment, Liu Ling also happened to push open the door, immediately seeing Chu Chengfeng sitting on the bed, pale with sweat beads on his forehead.
Liu Ling was startled, hurried over, but as a person from the Mystic Sect, she knew that in such situations, one shouldn’t act rashly.
At this moment, Chu Chengfeng’s eyes were closed, seemingly oblivious to everything outside.
Liu Ling wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat but thought better of it and hesitated. Now, whether for her or for the Phoenix Clan, Chu Chengfeng’s existence was very important.
So no matter what happened to Chu Chengfeng, he couldn’t have any accidents.
