Tomb Raider: The Saint of Wanjiang and Her Guardians

Zhang Qiling frowned slightly and looked at him strangely: "What do you mean?"

The slumped shoulders laughed: "What do you mean? It means that you are just a stepping stone for me. You have worked hard for so many years, and were left alone in Wanjiang by the Zhang family, used as a medicine man, and lived alone for a thousand years just for this moment, but... you were replaced by me."

Zhang Qiling thought of something, looked towards a lake in the forest, and quickly ran towards there.

He smiled with his shoulders slumped. It was useless. His body was almost at its limit. This meant that the Saint...

Zhang Qiling ran into the lake and swam downstream. Relying on the Zhang family's blood, he soon arrived at the real Zhang family ancient building.

At this time, Chi Jue and Chi Miaomiao were about to take Chi Gu away. Chi Jue felt the strange movement of the barrier and left directly from the other side of the Zhang family's ancient building.

By the time Zhang Qiling arrived, the place was already empty.

He noticed the two coffins at a glance, and he already knew what they meant.

He raised his hand slightly, and touched the coffin with a tremor that he didn't even notice: "I'm late..."

In an instant, a feeling of powerlessness filled his whole body and he fell to his knees, gasping for breath as if he was suffocating.

His eyes were bloodshot and his long, slender fingers were still grasping the coffin lid.

After a long time, he stayed alone in the Zhang family's ancient building for a long time.

He went to the Zhang family's ancestral tablet and looked at the tablets one by one, feeling only irony.

Zhang Qiling smiled bitterly. He hated the Zhang family. After all his memories came back, he hated this Zhang family even more.

He didn't want to be a guardian. He also wanted to play freely like the other children in the tribe, instead of practicing various martial arts since he could remember.

He also wanted to leave with his parents, instead of staying alone in Wanjiang, imprisoned in that terrifying cage and being used as a subject for poison testing by Chi Gu again and again.

He also didn't want to be cursed and end his life by carrying the lives of so many people just for this one mission.

He also knew that he... had always been treated as a substitute for Chi Jue by Chi Gu, but how could he, who was still so young, have the heart to push her away?

So when he saw Xie Yuchen at first, he was jealous. He felt that he was just another new substitute. He didn't even want to save that person. He was also very selfish.

Memory seems to be very important, why? Because this memory contains Chi Gu's fate. In fact, after Zhang Qishan wanted him to lose his memory, he agreed. As long as he forgot everything, Chi Gu would have no one to guide him and could selfishly abandon Wanjiang and live.

But... Jia Xingchen... the Jia Xingchen who was so meticulous in his calculations, Zhang Qiling suddenly smiled, and tears flowed from his eyes inadvertently. Jia Xingchen must have guessed that he would lose his memory a long time ago, right?

All of this... could not escape Wanjiang's arrangement. The fate of all of them was arranged...

When he regained his memory and learned everything behind the memory, he regretted it...

Zhang Qiling stayed in the Zhang family's ancient building for a long time. He, the patriarch of the Zhang family, had never been to this Zhang family. He sat by the window in a daze, looking at the auspicious clouds outside. He didn't know how long it had been.

"So... even until the end... you were still protecting me."

He slowly stood up and went to the bronze gate. He tried his best to forget everything in order to protect Chi Gu. The other people in Wanjiang had nothing to do with him. He was the guardian of the saint.
