Chapter 45: The Eve of Graduation (Part 2)

"Brother Xiwen, you said that how a person should live in this life is not wasted, what should he do to be meaningful, just obey the wishes of his family and give up what you want, are you willing to give up?" Dugu Xiao sat up and asked with a confused face.

"What can I do if I don't obey? Seeing my family busy every day, suffering and burdened, and the pressure of life is so great, just to provide me with school, I have spent all my savings at home. I don't want to bear it, but I can't be willful," Zhao Xiwen said bitterly.

"Yes, life is so difficult." Dugu Xiao got out of bed and paced back and forth on the ground, saying, "Actually, there are many ways to live in life, and wealth and honor are just one of them. But parents always hope that we can stand out, stabilize as soon as possible, and start a family and a career, so they always have too high expectations for us, and they always force us to choose some life that once and for all, regardless of whether we like it or not."

"Hey, in my eyes, the army is a sacred place, defending the country, killing the enemy, and exuding blood. This is the life I once dreamed of. I want to say goodbye to poverty. I want to realize my own value. I want myself and my family to live a good life. If I hadn't met her, I wouldn't even blink, but now, even myself has begun to shake." Zhao Xiwen sighed and said in a daze.

"The army is indeed a sacred place, and soldiers are also respectable. They sacrificed too much to protect the people. Unfortunately, behind the sacred people, people dare not think deeply," Dugu Xiao said disdainfully.

Facing Zhao Xiwen's puzzled gaze, Dugu Xiao continued, "What do you think of the previous three armies' downfall? He said he wanted to find the murderer who killed those students. In fact, you can't guess the real purpose, right? Think about it again, how many of those soldiers know the real purpose?"

Dugu Xiao asked coldly, then mocked himself, "They know nothing, they only know how to obey the orders issued by the superiors. Those who are in high positions and powerful only need to find an excuse and move their mouths to let the army composed of countless lives work hard for themselves, and they can sit behind with peace of mind, waiting for the ending."

"The most lethal in the world is always language. Even if you have achieved success in cultivation, you can only rely on thousands of troops, but you can never defeat the words of the emperor who have a heartfelt word. Those so-called ministers do not do serious things every day, rack their hearts to coax their superiors, do everything they can behind their backs, use their posts to do things in a big way, embezzle, accept bribes, and exploit the people. Look at your country, the rich businessmen bully men and women, and make a big splash. The people suffer so much. Those who spend money to take revenge. The poor will only get poorer and richer, and it is ridiculous that they have formed such things as an army, using the lives of soldiers to realize the selfish desires of those people? To protect those fragments?"

Dugu Xiao became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally cursed.

Zhao Xiwen was stunned for a moment and persuaded him, "Actually, I just don't want to care about people. They are all separated because of graduation. If you don't want to go, don't be so excited."

Dugu Xiao shook his head, "It's not a question of excitement. He just thinks that this world is too funny. Everyone will die, but he cares about the time and night. He often suffers all the hardships. When he dies, he always feels unwilling to accept it and attempts to start again. What's even more ridiculous is that some people want to do something or get something, but they dare not take action directly and have to find excuses. Some people want to manage this unordered world and say something to improve the people, but after having that power, they forget it, so the world becomes like this!"

"Maybe this world is not as bad as you said," Zhao Xiwen said heavily, but his confidence in refuting was slightly insufficient.

"Yes, it's not as bad as I said, but it's not much better. If the words I said were placed in our place or spread out, they would probably be banned immediately or silently silenced. The reason is very simple. My words do not conform to the positive thoughts spread by the country. My thoughts will only bring chaos to the original normal order, because no one will ever ask you why you have such thoughts, nor will you care about what you have experienced."

"Never!"

After Dugu Xiao finished speaking, he emphasized this sentence in an even greater way.

Zhao Xiwen widened his eyes, looked at Dugu Xiao incredible, and finally said, "I have known you for so long, and I have never seen you drink too much. Today, I finally witnessed you drinking crazy. There are no regrets in the past three years."

Dugu Xiao smiled, and a feeling of sadness surged in his heart. What can defeat a person is not hardships and obstacles, but hopelessness. Just like that eternal night, there will never be light. This is an unshakable pattern that cannot be cracked by human power.

At this time, facing Zhao Xiwen's words, Dugu Xiao pretended to be profound, but sighed with a confused face, "Everyone is awake, I am drunk alone, and everyone is drunk alone."

The conversation between the two ended in a bad mood. Zhao Xiwen returned to his dormitory, while Dugu Xiao started drinking with the wine again.

Perhaps it was because of the strong sadness in my heart and the mood was a little different. As I drank, Dugu Xiao felt dizzy again after a long time. This was a sign that he was about to lose consciousness after drinking.

The stronger your cultivation level, the less alcohol’s paralysis effect on Dugu Xiao, but because of the stronger your strength, it is particularly clear to every stimulus and feeling of one’s own, and the consciousness is extremely clear, and the body is unspeakable. This is how Dugu Xiao’s feeling is drinking now.

But Dugu Xiao didn't want to use his spiritual power to suppress the feeling of drinking, and felt that he was spending money to make fun of it, so he really hasn't experienced this feeling of drunkenness in a long time.

I just sat on the chair and fell asleep all night. The next day, Dugu Xiao woke up and felt extremely heavy all over. Yi Shiyin was dead, and no one could play the piano to help him sleep well. Moreover, his cultivation became stronger and stronger. Whether to sleep or not is meaningless. Dugu Xiao couldn't remember when the last time he slept.

Since I broke through to the Spirit Realm, there has been another head in the uncomfortable parts of my body, my liver and stomach are slightly painful, my brain is drowsy, and I feel like I have no strength at all.

With spiritual power to protect his body, Dugu Xiao did not feel uncomfortable due to drinking all day long, or even died of serious illness. He just felt uncomfortable every day, and this discomfort did not affect himself. He would not drag his back when he really started to fight with others. Only in the day, he would be indelible to feel weak and powerless.

As the sky was dawn, the laughter outside increased again, and the door was pushed open again, and this time it was Yunyue who came.

Farewell to that age of development, the moon has already fallen with graceful and graceful appearance, soft black hair is like a waterfall and a sea of ​​delicate skin, and the delicate face is inlaid with two beautiful pupils like black gems.

"It's been three years, and every time I come to see you, I'm drinking." Yun Yue said angrily, and came to the chair opposite Dugu Xiao to sit down, and took the wine pot over. There was no expression on her beautiful face, and her bright eyes were a little captivating.

"Your arrogant temper cannot be changed. You smile more when you have nothing to do. Be gentler when you are other girls. You are holding your ugly face all day long, as if someone owes you money," Dugu Xiao said.

The two of them were already familiar with each other, and Yunyue was not angry, and said straight to the point, "Let's follow me after graduation."

Dugu Xiao shook his head and sighed, saying helplessly, "Except Zhao Xiwen, six people have come to me to talk about this. Now you come to me to talk about this. Where do you want me to go with you? Do you think the place you want me to go will take in a drunken person who only knows how to drink?"

"Xian Ren Inn, that was founded by my father and others. With me, as long as you agree, you don't need to consider anything else," Yun Yue said concisely.

Dugu Xiao was stunned after hearing this. The ancestor inn had heard of it a long time ago. It was a huge commercial organization known as the three major countries. It was no less than the four-hailed business companies of Feng Sihai. It was all the big characters that would tremble even the three major countries.

The ancestors' inn is divided into Xianzhan and Renzhan, which is led by a man named Yun and Mu. He is known as Yunmu. Now that he wakes up by Yunyue, Dugu Xiao thought of a lot in an instant.

Yun Yue actually comes from there, and she is also the daughter of one of the founders. This identity is terrifying.

But because of this, Dugu Xiao was even more puzzled, "Your family is so powerful, you don't lack money, and you don't lack people. Do you need to win me over?"

"I have nothing, but I'm used to the days when I'm drinking and chatting with you for nothing. Suddenly, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt in the future," Yun Yue said lightly.

Dugu Xiao was amused when he heard this, leaned lazily on the chair and said, "Your lady from Xianren Inn, will no one be willing to drink with you? Besides, I have no ability. If someone else squeezes his head and wants to go to your house, you probably won't agree. If you open the back door like me, aren't you afraid that your father will find out and scold you?"

Yun Yue was unmoved and said word by word, "You are not that kind of person!"

Dugu Xiao looked at Yun Yue's solemn expression and shook his head helplessly, "What you see is an illusion. Apart from practicing faster, I have nothing to show off. Moreover, I practice fast, just because I have inexplicably owned martial arts. My current cultivation level does not mean that I can still do this in the future. There are far more than me who have practiced martial arts in this world, but there are not one who has made a name for himself through cultivation. You don't have to bet on me anymore. To be honest, I am not very interested in cultivation."

After hearing this, Yun Yue stood up excitedly and grabbed Dugu Xiao's right hand without saying a word. She saw Dugu Xiao's palms covered with hideous scars, including cuts, penetration injuries, and several cracks of the palms that had broken. Now all healed. If the cuts and penetration injuries were not carefully looked at, there were only a few cracks left, which were particularly conspicuous.

Yun Yue grabbed Dugu Xiao's hand and said, "It's not that you are not very interested in cultivation, but you just feel that even if you have the strength, you can't use it. You forgot that when you were about to find Li Pinghai, you almost never had a rest in order to improve your combat effectiveness for the whole month. Even if you make yourself covered in bruises, you didn't stop. How many people can do it with such hard practice!"

Yun Yue's delicate face was full of seriousness, and her bright eyes didn't blink. She just looked at Dugu Xiao. For some reason, Dugu Xiao felt a little guilty.

Yun Yue slowly closed her hands, holding Dugu Xiao's hands tightly, and her tone became softer, "Do you know, your eyes will glow!"

Dugu Xiao was stunned, raised his head, and met Yunyue's cheek that suddenly became soft. "Although you are very lazy, when you do what you want to do, your eyes lit up, like the stars in the sky, shining. Do you remember that when we first met, facing the encirclement of wolves, there was no fear or timidity in your eyes, but rather excitement. The figure of you standing alone among the wolves, even now I still remember it fresh. I know that you actually want to prove yourself. You are not a person who only knows how to drink and live. What you are afraid of is loneliness, confusion, and nothing. Come with me. I can't guarantee what will happen to you in the future, but I will never let you be with wine as your companion."

Dugu Xiao was stunned. What Yun Yue said was something she had never thought of, but she didn't expect that she could see herself so thoroughly.

Indeed, I have tried hard and been curious about unknown things. When did it start? I don’t care about the outside world and just want to stay in the dormitory and drink and live a life of scrambling.

Have you seen too much darkness in human nature or understood too much powerlessness? In fact, everything in this world is passing clouds and smoke. Even if you know that people will eventually die, even if you know that no matter how many experiences you have, they will turn into dust, but you are still trying hard to move forward.

Since I was implicated in Xianshiyin, I seemed to be too depressed.

Dugu Xiao knew that even if he left with Yunyue and lived a life that would not be boring, nothing would change for him, but at this moment, Dugu Xiao was really moved.

Nothing else, just because of her trust and understanding of herself.

"I'll think about it," Dugu Xiao said heavy.

"Okay, I'll wait for you," Yun Yue replied happily, then left the space for Dugu Xiao, and turned around and left.

Dugu Xiao sighed deeply, and hesitated in his heart. How should he live in this life? It takes a day to drink and a day to follow Yunyue. Even if he lives a good life, will there be any changes in this life?

How many people have never been appreciated and have ambitions that are difficult to show. Now, opportunities are in front of you. Should you cherish them? What should Li Qingshui do?

Dugu Xiao thought about it and felt extremely irritable. He simply pushed open the door and walked out, preparing to find Li Qingshui. There were some things that he couldn't decide on, so he might as well let her decide for himself.

Li Qingshui was still sitting in her office, frowning at the pile of paper on the table. As graduation approached, she still had a lot of things to deal with. Seeing Dugu Xiao coming in, Li Qingshui squeezed a smile on her tired face and said happily, "You are here."

Dugu Xiao nodded and said with concern, "If you are tired, take a break, don't be exhausted."

Li Qingshui shook her head tiredly, "I can't rest. It's the busiest these days. It's better to wait for this time. You can sit for a while."

Dugu Xiao did not listen to her words, but said solemnly, "I will graduate soon, come with me, even if you have cultivated countless geniuses here, it is just a training of butchers for the academy and this dirty world. Who can guarantee that you will not become a disaster in the future? Who can guarantee that you will not change your mind after having strength? The people you have worked hard to train have their own life plans, and everything you do is just in vain. Why not go with me to see the great rivers and mountains and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world?"

A happy smile suddenly appeared on Li Qingshui's tired face, and his eyes turned again and again, but he shook his head and refused to say, "I'm sorry, I can't be so selfish."

Dugu Xiao was stunned and blurted out, "What selfishness? You are not called selfishness. You are just pursuing the life you yearn for. You honestly answer me, is it the life you want in this dark island? You are still young and you can pursue what you want, why should you stay here?"

Li Qingshui sighed, with a complicated expression on his face. After hesitating for a while, he said firmly, "It's been three years, you haven't changed. I want to pursue what I want, but not now."

Dugu Xiao wondered, "What does it mean?"

Li Qingshui squeezed out a smile and said with confusion on his face, "Do you know, I like you so much, I don't even know why, but when I can't see you, I'll be thinking about you all the time. Seeing you happy, I will be particularly happy. For you, I can give up my life. But recently I have been thinking that Sister Shui saved my life, but did not take me away, but kept me in the college. The dean not only regarded me as his own, but also asked me to manage the most important affairs of the college. But I just fell in love with Sister Shui's children, and I also wanted to leave this to raise me with him and pay attention to my college. How can you let me do it?"

This is the first time she admitted that she likes her. Seeing her face full of hesitation, Dugu Xiao persuaded, "You have been teaching here for so many years and have done enough. You want to live the life you want. Now you will not say anything about you. Besides, my mother saved you, maybe she was considering it for my son?"

Li Qingshui shook his head, looked at Dugu Xiao obsessedly with blurred eyes, and couldn't help but reach out to climb Dugu Xiao's cheek and touched it carefully, "I said it, do you remember what you told me in the first place? Xianshiyin is not the one who untie your heart. In the past three years, you have not changed, so I must not be that person. We cannot untie the questions in your heart. Even if I follow you, you are not the best you, so I can only wait and wait for you to find that you, that is our future."

Dugu Xiao was stunned. He never expected that what she was worried about was this. He said unwillingly, "Why are you sure that I am not the best me now? You didn't try it, why do you have to make a decision?"

Li Qingshui smiled and said gently, "Because I've been there all the time."

Dugu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and the thousands of words in his heart were unable to say it. Since she had made up her mind, no matter how much persuasion she had, she would only feel even more reluctant to leave. She could only compromise helplessly and said, "Okay, if there is still a future, I will come back to find you."

Li Qingshui smiled, her eyes as wet as water. She hugged Dugu Xiao tightly, without saying anything. Dugu Xiao knew that she was afraid that she could not help crying as soon as she opened her mouth, so she could only hug her gently with her hands.

This is the first time the two of them talk about this topic, and it is also the first time that Li Qingshui admitted in person that she likes her. If she likes her, she is willing to take her away, why do you refuse?

Suddenly, Dugu Xiao exerted force on his hand, and the huge spiritual power in his body instantly lingered in his hand, hitting Li Qingshui's neck like lightning.

As for women, sometimes their decisions are too emotional. Since she is hesitant and cannot make up her mind to follow her, she can only knock her out and carry her away. As for apologizing, I will talk about it later when she wakes up.

"Uh--" Surprisingly, Li Qingshui let out a muffled cry, but did not faint in Dugu Xiao's arms. Instead, his hands were hugging him tighter. The power of his arms was extremely powerful, and he wanted to melt Dugu Xiao into his body.

Dugu Xiao smiled awkwardly. This guy is so strong, is he still guarding against himself? Did the sneak attack fail such a quick attack?

Li Qingshui did not ask Dugu Xiao, but just hugged her tightly and buried her head on Dugu Xiao's shoulder. Dugu Xiao had no choice but to hug her like this. He would definitely not be able to take her away. But he didn't expect that he had rejected so many people who invited her these days. In the end, he was rejected by the person who wanted to leave with him the most.
