Four Lifetimes Dream

"Luo Ci Yan, your father and mother risked their lives to protect you from leaving the palace, was it for you to die today?" Li Sheng's tone was heavy. If she hadn't arrived in time today, the girl would have succeeded and he would have been a corpse by now!

"Master...when did you know my identity?" Luo Ci Yan finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Today she was not at all surprised about his identity, and she seemed to know everything about Luo Guo. As for Yu Jiang, no one in the world would probably know his weaknesses, but she could point them out easily. Who is she?

"From the first moment I saw you, I knew who you were. I also know exactly why you came to Lingyue Peak!" At this point, there was nothing to hide, so she just came straight to the point.

"Then the token that the master gave him before..." So the master gave him the token in order to test him?

"The token is real. It is true that it can mobilize the people of Lingyue Peak and protect you. Of course, it is also true that it tests you!" Her original intention was to protect him, but also to see if he was worthy of her dedicated cultivation.

"What will Master do if I make the wrong choice?" His original intention was to use Lingyue Peak, but later he wavered. His Master treated him sincerely and had good things for him, so he couldn't bear to hurt her!

After all, no matter how strong she is, she is just a child.

"Luo Ci Yan, you once had a family and were held in the palm of someone's hand. You also experienced the warmth of being cared for, and you also experienced the pain and despair of having your family broken up. I, like you, do not want to lose that warmth. So, if one day I have to choose between you and them, I can only abandon you. If you really take that path, I can only send you to hell with my own hands. Do you understand?"

Between family and mission, she can only choose family!

"Master... Ah Ci understands everything." He understood and comprehended everything she said. If he were her, he would make the same choice as her. After all, no one would give up their happy life for an insignificant person.

"Since you can understand, I hope you will give up the idea of ​​using Lingyue Peak to avenge you. I have said before that I will help you until the day you get what you want, but the premise is that you don't touch Lingyue Peak."

As long as Lingyue Peak is not implicated, she will accompany him to the end no matter what he wants to do.

"All this... Didn't Master already understand it the moment I made the choice? Otherwise, Master wouldn't have risked his life to save me, right?" If she hadn't seen his decision, she wouldn't have come to Luo Country this time!

"Even now, Master still doesn't trust Aci, right?" If she believed him, she wouldn't have said these words to him today.

"Trust me? Luo Ci Yan, you are wrong. I have tried to trust you in the past, but last night, you drew your sword against me without hesitation. The moment you raised the Qingci Sword and pointed it at me, I knew it was not that I did not trust you, but that you never trusted me from the beginning to the end! Trust is mutual. I trust you, but Luo Ci Yan, ask yourself, have you... trusted me?"

From the very beginning, he deliberately wanted to use her identity to help him achieve his wish. He was the first person to question her last night, and he was also the first person to draw his sword!

But now he is talking to her about trust, how ridiculous!

"..." Luo Ci Yan was speechless for a moment.

He admitted that she was right. There really was no trust between them. He was also in the wrong for what happened last night. He really had nothing to defend himself.

"Okay, let's go. Hong Ting will definitely not let you go. Maybe it will be safer if you leave Luo Kingdom!" Hong Ting will at most be more diligent in searching for people within his own territory. Although he will not stop the search outside Luo Kingdom, he will at least be more restrained.

After a moment, she slowly spoke again:

"Also, Lingyue Peak is of no use to you anymore, so you don't have to go back with me. Take your sister and go as far as you can. I won't accompany you on the road ahead!" Perhaps, she could only help him up to this point, and the rest of the way would be up to him to make his own way!

Then she stood up and stood there for a long time before taking another step.

"Master, Aci was wrong. Can you please not chase Aci away?" The moment she raised her foot to leave, Luo Ci Yan quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Li Sheng paused but did not speak.

"Master, whether you believe it or not, I really just want to accept you as my master, without any purpose or reason!"

He just felt that apart from her, there was no one else in the world whom he could be willing to call Master.

Li Sheng still didn't respond. Her figure shook and black blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, staining her clothes.

But her back was facing Luo Ci Yan, so Luo Ci Yan didn't know any of this.

"Master, Aci really knows he is wrong, please don't be angry, okay... Master..."

Luo Ci Yan was halfway through his words when Li Sheng fell down.

"Master!" Luo Ci Yan hurriedly caught the girl who had fallen. He took her pulse and found that her pulse was very chaotic and weak, like... the symptoms of a dying person...

"Your Highness, Hong Ting's men seem to be catching up!" At this time, a man in black ran over hurriedly, his voice full of urgency.

"Let's go!" Luo Ci Yan's expression turned cold, he carried Li Sheng on his back and left.

"Royal brother, where are we going?" Luo Shuanghan then remembered that they would have no home if they left the Luo Kingdom Palace.

"Li Country!" Luo Ci Yan answered without hesitation.

Master is now too seriously injured and he has no way to treat her. He can only take her back to Lingyue Peak. Maybe Yan Xuyan and the elders will have a solution.

In this way, Luo Ci Yan and his companions quickly left the ruined temple.

"Your Highness, the people behind us are chasing us more and more closely. At this pace, we will be caught up sooner or later!"

After traveling for about half an hour, Chen Zhuo glanced at the unconscious Li Sheng and spoke meaningfully.

"Then what do you want?" Luo Ci Yan naturally heard the thoughts contained in Chen Zhuo's words, but he still chose to ask calmly.

"We are on the run now, and it is not appropriate to bring an unconscious girl with us. It would be better for us to hide her in a safe place first, and then come back to pick her up after the danger is over. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Although he said so, there was no hint of negotiation in Chen Zhuo's tone. It was as if he was just informing Luo Ci Yan.

It seemed as if he would refuse to do it if they didn't agree to abandon Li Sheng.

"General Chen, what you said is really funny. If there really is such a so-called safe place, why don't you go there and hide there by yourself? Wait until the danger is over before coming out?" Luo Shuang asked back in a cold voice.

Chen Zhuo's calculations were sound and his words were very nice, but to put it bluntly, these were just excuses for his fear of death.

"I have been ordered to protect Your Highness and the Princess, so I dare not leave my post without permission!" Chen Zhuo lowered his head and clasped his fists slightly.

"Then I now allow you to leave your post without permission. Go now!" Luo Ci Yan glanced at Chen Zhuo, his eyes covered with frost, and his tone was extremely cold.

He doesn't need someone like this who might bite him back at any time, so it's better to let him leave as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, are you really going to ignore the overall situation for a little girl? Has Your Highness forgotten how His Majesty and the Queen sacrificed their lives? If Your Highness loses his life for a little girl now, how can you be worthy of His Majesty and the Queen?" Chen Zhuo brought up the Emperor and the Queen, and then said,

"I am only ordered to protect Your Highness and the Princess. I have no responsibility to protect others. I hope Your Highness will think twice and not lose your composure for an insignificant person!"

If he had not been left with no other options, he would not have chosen to follow these two ignorant kids. Now these two kids are actually going to ruin their own future for a little yellow-haired girl. They are simply stupid!

"The overall situation? Then General Chen, please tell me, what is the overall situation? Is it to achieve one's own goals without caring about the interests of others, or to choose to be ungrateful for one's own sake, or to sacrifice the lives of others in order to save oneself?"

With every word Luo Ci Yan spoke, his tone became colder.

He will never forget the revenge for his father and mother, and he must take revenge, but this does not mean that he will give up everyone's lives for the sake of revenge!

Especially the life of his master. If it weren’t for his master, he wouldn’t be who he is today. If it weren’t for his master risking his life to save him many times, he wouldn’t be alive today.

It was she who made him feel that in addition to the cold hatred, there were actually many warm things in this world, and many kind people like her. It was she who made him understand that in his life, in addition to revenge, he could do other things, such as learning medicine... So, no matter what, he would not give up her life.

Chen Zhuo spoke with great righteousness, but in fact, he was only trying to protect himself. Such a selfish person, if he was not the one left behind by his father, perhaps he would not have survived until now.

"Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Your Highness is so indecisive, how can you even talk about revenge? If Your Highness insists on taking this little girl with you today, I have nothing to say. I can only beg Your Highness to forgive me for not being able to accompany you!"

If they wanted to die, he wouldn't stop them, but if they wanted to take his life, that would be impossible even in his dreams!

Anyway, he had long been fed up with these two ignorant kids, and Luo State had already changed its master, so there was no need for him to be loyal to these two stray dogs. Now that he had the chance to leave, he naturally would not let it go.

But once he leaves, they will have no choice but to join another master. Then, they won't be able to blame him!
