184: Chapter 184 Everything has settled down, you go and be buried with the blind man!

"..."

Wang Yao fell into a brief silence, then shook his head slightly and said,

"To walk this path, we have sacrificed too many people. We have sacrificed so many, many people. They were known, they were unknown, some we haven't even met, but we have only one goal: to eliminate the Forbidden Zone!"

His impassioned voice gradually suppressed Wang Xianzhi's anger.

Seeing this, Tian Cai quickly spoke up, "Regarding Blind, I am very sorry, but this was the only way, and only in this way..."

"In the end, it's all because of you!!"

Tears welled up in Wang Xianzhi's eyes, and with her intense movements, they slid down her cheeks.

Even when Blind sacrificed himself, she had never cried, but now, hearing someone treat Blind as just a part of a plan, her emotions gradually began to unravel.

The sorrow that had been suppressed burst forth like a fountain at this moment.

Tian Cai let out a deep sigh, "Everyone has their own path to walk. Blind's body could no longer hold out."

"Ten years ago, he said he wanted to go to Penglai and turn everything upside down. Before he died, he wanted to take as many elders with him as he could. But then, he met you."

"..."

Wang Xianzhi's hand gripping the sword trembled slightly as the memories buried deep in her heart began to surface.

That was when she was seven years old. Without father or mother, she had to rely on scavenging for food every day. Occasionally, a kind person would buy her food, and those were her happiest times because the food she ate was hot.

However, she would always eat only a small bite and hide the rest, taking it out to eat when she couldn't find food. This was the survival method the young her had figured out.

Until one day, while she was rummaging through a trash can on the street, she encountered the tattered and blind Blind.

Seeing how pitiful he was, Wang Xianzhi took out the food she had hidden for so long and handed it to him, telling him he could follow her from then on. Her ability to find food was considered the best in the area.

Blind didn't respond, just silently ate the food Wang Xianzhi handed him. Afterwards, Blind asked Wang Xianzhi, "Do you want to practice swordsmanship?"

Seven-year-old Wang Xianzhi didn't know what practicing swordsmanship meant. At that time, she didn't know a single character and hadn't even seen basic cartoons, so she was completely bewildered and simply asked if practicing swordsmanship meant she would have food to eat.

Blind's answer was that she would be full. But how could Wang Xianzhi believe him? She said, "You don't even have food yourself, I'm the one who gave it to you. You're a liar." Saying this, Wang Xianzhi broke free and quickly ran away.

As it turned out, two days later, while she was rummaging through a trash can on another street, she met Blind again. At that time, Blind was still dressed in rags, but in his hands, he had three boxes of hot fast food.

Wang Xianzhi was tempted. She didn't care where the fast food came from; she took it and ate it with her hands. Chopsticks were a very foreign tool to her; she usually collected them just to burn as firewood when it was cold.

Blind didn't mind her habits. After Wang Xianzhi finished the first portion, he handed her the second, and then the third. Since she could remember, she had never been so full. Her little belly was bulging high, and she felt a unique sense of satisfaction.

Taking advantage of this moment, Blind asked her again if she wanted to practice swordsmanship, and Wang Xianzhi seriously asked him back if she would have fast food to eat every day...

These scenes of memories deeply buried in her heart kept surfacing in Wang Xianzhi's mind. From their first meeting to their final parting, playing like a slideshow, it made Wang Xianzhi cry more and more bitterly.

"It's all you!! It's all you!! If it weren't for you, Blind wouldn't have died!! Blind clearly didn't have to die!! By what right! By what right do you do this!"

"I..." Although Tian Cai knew the bond between master and apprentice was very deep, for a moment, he was speechless and didn't know how to explain. It felt as if saying too much would just sound like making excuses.

The sword in Wang Xianzhi's hand gradually slipped from her grip and landed obliquely on the ground. She covered her face and wept, "Wuwuwu!! Why... why must it be like this... why..."

"..." Tian Cai looked at her silently and sighed deeply, "It was you who extended Blind's life for ten years; it was you who let Blind live for ten more years. And it was also because of you that this whole plan gradually became complete! Pick up your sword; this is what Blind left for you. Don't let him down."

"..." Wang Xianzhi stopped crying. She looked at the sword in front of her, gritted her teeth, and finally reached for the hilt, pulling it from the ground bit by bit.

"The things Blind wanted to do, I will complete them for him!"

"This is what he hoped to see." Tian Cai nodded slightly, feeling a bit relieved.

But the next second, the sword pointed at him again, "Once everything has settled, you will be buried with Blind!"

"?" Tian Cai was completely bewildered. What? What the hell? Why am I involved again??

...

In the live chat, [It was getting touching, but this sentence from the Little Sword Saint just made me laugh, hahahaha!]

[Inheriting Blind's last wish, but still going to slaughter Tian Cai in the end!]

[Good, good, good! Planned everything, but still can't escape death in the end?]

[Tian Cai is truly a bit miserable!]

[But Wang Xianzhi's childhood was truly healed by Blind. Otherwise, if Wang Xianzhi had kept wandering, her world would only be gray.]

[Wang Xianzhi must have kept many things hidden in her heart for a long time!]

[Sigh, can only say she is a pitiful person.]

[Holy crap! Not good! The black mist is here!! The black mist is here!!]

On the livestream screen, just as everyone was immersed in this sad atmosphere, the black mist in the distance gradually approached.

Song Yiqing dared not delay any longer and quickly spoke up, taking everyone to leave quickly, "Go!! Hurry!!"

At the same time, he also conveniently took the Queen Zongzi and stored it into the dragon seal scroll.

When Tian Cai saw this dragon seal scroll, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Lord Song, where did you get this scroll from? It's truly a bit magical."

"Heh," Song Yiqing chuckled, "Found it."

"..." Tian Cai shrugged, "It's fine if you don't want to say. The Jianghu is only so big, and the world has boundaries. I'll know eventually."

"Heh," Song Yiqing smiled and ignored him, instead saying in a deep voice, "How can we leave the Lost Land?"
