"Is there anyone else who is suffocating or vomiting seriously?" Lou Wuchen finished handling the last injured person who had difficulty breathing, wiped his sweat, looked around and shouted, "If there are any, bring them here. For the others, just rinse them with plenty of water! They are locked up.

How to deal with those? I’m asking you about this kind of thing - Hey, boss, where did you go just now? It’s all your job to restore the scene and deal with it afterwards, so what’s the point of coming to me!”

"I have some other things to deal with." Shuishui Yaoguang smiled apologetically, "I was saved by you again this time... If you are free, please come with me for a walk."

"...Sigh." Lou Wuchen sighed, took off the gloves on both hands and handed them to the side, and walked towards Shuishui Yaoguang, "Don't say that, if Youxue and I hadn't incited the alliance god——

"

"Stop." Shuishui Yaoguang made an interrupting gesture, "As you just said, the decision of whether to form an alliance or not is my business, as the leader, what's the point of leaving the responsibility to you? Don't say such things.

.”

Lou Wuchen smiled bitterly: "I know."

The Heavenly Palace, which had been destroyed a lot in the previous battle with the Immortal Sect, was baptized by turmoil before it could take a breath. Along the way Yaoguang walked on the water, the once magnificent palace now only has a few familiar rooms left.

Broken walls and ruins. But it was such a desolate and dilapidated scene. Lou Wuchen walked behind Shuishui Yaoguang, but for some reason he calmed down a little bit.

"But Wuchen, when you said that just now, you also think that... forming an alliance is not a good choice?"

"I'm not sure either..." Lou Wuchen scratched his hair in distress, "As a cultivator, maybe it would be better to obey the Immortal Sect, right?"

Lou Wuchen thought of the Immortal Sect master who came to him in the middle of the night and said that he wanted to join him. Changing the sect seemed to have no psychological burden on them. If Shuishui Yaoguang and the others had surrendered at that time, they would probably be able to get one.

Ferry ticket - Lou Wuchen feels like this.

"Pfft." Shuishui Yaoguang couldn't help laughing, "Sure enough, you never think of yourself as a cultivator, right?"

"..."

Lou Wuchen felt that he scratched his head a bit too much today.

"Actually, I was thinking." Shuishui Yaoguang's voice suddenly became a little ethereal. Her steps slowed down, and she naturally came to a horizontal line with Lou Wuchen. She turned her head and looked at him seriously, "If you had snow back then,

If you didn’t enter the lower valley or come to the door, but discovered the lurking Red Lotus Dao from the beginning, and saw the awakened Red Lotus Dao Master, wouldn’t you live a happier life?”

"If we don't enter the Xiagu, Youxue won't be able to survive for long without the spiritual fluid." Lou Wuchen shook his head and directly denied this possibility, "But, if it is really like what you said..."

Lou Wuchen raised his head slightly, looked at the sky and squinted his eyes. In the gap between the changing clouds, he seemed to have really seen such a hazy world: he and Youxue, who had never been exposed to spiritual practice, threw themselves into the Red Lotus Taoist Master.

His subordinates did not have so many entanglements and hesitations, and moved forward using their past knowledge, advancing technology, and developing new technologies.

Reform, Dou Xian Dao...

"If that's the case, I think-" Lou Wuchen murmured in a daze, "I would never know what an outstanding researcher Master is, what a lovely girl Xingxi is, and what a lovely girl Xingxi is.

What an excellent leader you are - in my eyes, I probably only see you as immortal accomplices who help the evil, second-generation worms carrying original sin, reactionary and decadent leader of cultivators, and only as existences that need to be defeated.

One of them will not have the idea of ​​​​getting close to understand..."

That is really a very, very sad thing - Lou Wuchen said.

Shuishui Yaoguang stopped. She looked at Lou Wuchen with very complex eyes for a long, long time, and finally sighed faintly:

——You are not a person who does big things.

This too direct comment made Lou Wuchen feel helpless: "I remember you said something similar before?"

"Yes." Shuishui Yaoguang nodded, "You attach too much importance to the people around you. I don't think this is bad, but it will eventually be an obstacle to what you want to achieve. It is not impossible to have both worlds.

, but the more attention you pay to both parties, the higher the possibility of conflict between them - especially those who achieve great things, when they reach the end, there is often no more space left in their hearts.

That’s why we can take that final step.”

Lou Wuchen was quite calm about this: "I'm not that material, so just do what I can do, and leave the last step to those who really do big things?"

Shuishui Yaoguang did not continue this topic. She withdrew her gaze and walked in front again. Lou Wuchen also followed her again. The two of them walked in silence for a while, and Shuishui Yaoguang suddenly stepped forward from a few steps

Without looking back, he spoke: "Master's thousand-second birthday is coming soon."

Lou Wuchen was stunned for a moment, then stopped.

The master of Shuishui Yaoguang is naturally talking about the founder of Dongliu Island, Taoist Xiangshan of Zhanwo Realm. She mentioned Taoist Xiangshan’s birthday here, of course, not to talk about the topic of celebration, but to talk about...

——Taoist Xiangshan, he won’t live long.

Everyone in the sect knows that Shui Yaoguang is Taoist Xiangshan’s favorite disciple. Not only did he make an exception and accept her as a closed disciple, he also made her sit on the position of acting head against all objections. She was specially promoted.

The kindness was so great that there were even some dark gossips. Although Shuishui Yaoguang later used her own abilities and achievements to effectively refute those nonsense, the relationship between her and Xiangshan Taoist master and disciple also became clear from this.

It's quite evident.

Since Shui Yaoguang's back was facing him, Lou Wuchen couldn't see the expression on her face at this time, nor could he hear whether there was any trembling that he hadn't noticed under her calm tone. He could only pause for a moment,

Silently, he continued to keep up with Shui Yaoguang's seemingly unchanged pace.

"Master is already approaching his end of life, and he has been fighting successively with Taoist priests from the Immortal Sect recently." Shuishui Yaoguang said calmly, "Ji Shui Yaoguang said

The intense fighting has undoubtedly accelerated this process, so Master has been in seclusion almost all the time recently, probably wanting to delay this process as much as possible, leaving the strength to fight... and finally resist the Immortal Sect for us."

Lou Wuchen felt his throat was a little dry. He wanted to say something, but couldn't find the right words for the moment.

What is the acting head of Dongliu Island in front of him thinking about at this moment? Is he sad for the irreparable life of his elders, or is he firm in his confidence to protect this career, or... is he just a simple person?

What about the confusion that everyone has?

"But that's not what I want to say." Shuishui Yaoguang suddenly changed the subject, stopped and turned around, staring at Lou Wuchen quietly, "What I want to tell you is: Master's friend Li Sheng Taoist

, is a person of the same generation who has known Master since childhood, in other words——"

Lou Wuchen's chest suddenly trembled.

"——The birth date of Taoist Li Sheng is not too far from that of Master." Shuishui Yaoguang stated calmly, "The life span of Taoist Zhanwo Realm is limited to one thousand two hundred years. No matter how special he is, as Li Sheng

I think the existence derived from the Taoist's split soul should still follow this law, so..."

Shuishui Yaoguang walked towards Lou Wuchen.

"Don't take it for granted that someone will always stand in front of you." Shui Yaoguang patted Lou Wuchen on the shoulder, passed him and walked back, "There may be some things in the future that will need you after all.

, you need to do it yourself.”

"——Zhang, leader!"

Lou Wuchen was a little panicked. He didn't know what he wanted to catch. He was just driven by some inexplicable fear and stretched out his hand in the direction where Shuishui Yaoguang left.

"By the way Wuchen." Shuishui Yaoguang suddenly turned around, and Lou Wuchen suddenly saw some kind of fluctuation on her face that broke through the previous calmness, "Can you please...call me Master for Youxue?"

Respect?"

Lou Wuchen said nothing.

He realized that something must have happened that he didn't know about, but he could vaguely detect it, so he remained silent. Shuishui Yaoguang did not urge him, but just stood there quietly, waiting.

with his answer.

After an unknown amount of time, Lou Wuchen finally made a choice and spoke with difficulty on behalf of the girl who was not here:

"Master, I——"

At that moment, a faint voice suddenly came from the far corner: "Yes... a master who is in charge of the sect is certainly much better than a master who is the master of the academy..."

“————————————!”

Lou Wuchen turned to stone in an instant, and Yao Guang on the water suddenly swept away his previous sentimental expression, and let out a hearty laugh and walked away leisurely. Only Lou Wuchen's miserable screams were left behind among the broken walls and ruins the two passed by.
