Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2323 List (Part 5)

There's no need to even imagine it.

The two people inside and outside the door were undoubtedly the focus of attention in the darkness.

In just one exchange, the conversation, which was even more oblivious to others, revealed a wealth of information.

Invite someone to come over to see a cat that died decades ago?

As a contestant with a rich imagination, and considering the ages of the two individuals involved, Fu Qian said he could easily conjure up images of the young men and women experiencing their inner turmoil.

And that cat might even do a backflip.

What? The old man's age doesn't seem to match up; he looks much older than he actually is.

Didn't you notice Ms. Lucy's initial surprise when she recognized the person?

It is clear that in the eyes of this person involved, the old man's image is abnormal.

Considering his status as an extraordinary being, and the fact that he had previously barely survived, it's not surprising that he's aged excessively.

In short, it seems that the old man's first stop was to find his childhood sweetheart.

Even decades later, the other party still hasn't moved.

Was it because they had investigated and known about the situation beforehand, or was it just pure luck?

Logically, the former would be more reasonable, but the old man didn't even know that the motel along the way was closed, which directly led to the breakdown halfway through the journey.

Of course, it's still a touching scene of reunion after a lifetime of wandering—if Lucy's family has no objections.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Standing in front of the table, as mentioned earlier, you can see a long table laden with food, roughly enough for ten people.

In fact, there were nearly ten spectators around the table, young and old, all staring in disbelief.

It was just the right time; not only was Lucy at home, but it even looked like a family gathering was underway.

One of the men, a burly fellow of similar age to Lucy, finally stood up to express his disapproval.

……

This must be from "Lucy's family".

From his seat, Fu Qianben already had a guess.

Given this guy's tone and demeanor, his identity is pretty much obvious.

"I don't know... We haven't seen each other for decades."

His words startled Lucy out of her reverie, and she turned around to look at him, explaining in a flustered manner.

"You won't find what you're looking for here. You should go back now."

Before anyone else could say anything, Lucy looked at Carton again and urged him in a low voice.

She even subconsciously moved closer to the door, as if she didn't want Kadun to come in and disturb the peace.

It's actually a very normal reaction.

While seated in the top tier of the audience, Fu Qian didn't rush to interrupt, and at the same time, he deeply understood Lucy's behavior.

People always like to dramatize their lives, such as being moved by a long-awaited reunion, a belated confession, or Lucy's lack of courage and excessive ruthlessness.

But does your feeling of being moved necessarily mean that others should also be moved?

Someone who had feelings for you years ago has no obligation to make up for your regrets years later—especially after being rejected.

It was clear from their conversation that Ms. Lucy's invitation had been politely declined by Carton, and the two of them did not end up going together.

It's perfectly normal to have regrets about life when it comes to the end.

Even if they actually come knocking on your door, you can be praised for your strong initiative, but in the end you'll just be kicked out by the whole family, and there's nothing to complain about.

……

"I believe you."

The couple seemed to have a harmonious relationship.

After hearing the explanation, Lucy's family managed to suppress their emotions, not wanting to embarrass their wife further. "But this guy has to leave...right now!"

But they weren't so polite to Carton, their eyes fixed on the old man outside the door, and as Lucy spoke, they even stepped closer.

"I know the cat is dead...it's okay."

Unfortunately, the uninvited guest had empty eyes and simply ignored him after passing by.

Then, nodding, Carton emphasized that he had already expected what Lucy said, and that it wasn't a problem.

"I remember you mentioned that your bedroom was the first one on the left upstairs?"

Not only that, the next moment his gaze fell on a section of stairs in the corner, and he casually confirmed it.

It's clear that it has undergone many repairs, but the marks of time are still evident on it.

I wonder if this kind of scene has appeared in the dreams of young people many times.

“I need you to leave… Mr. Carton.”

But there was no time to reflect on life; as the old man questioned them, the Lucy family's anger had clearly reached its peak.

Not only can you see the throbbing veins on your face, but even the adjacent prepuce is involved.

The gaze directed at him was extremely fierce, as if questioning why the madman hadn't been dragged away.

"Just call me Anke."

How could he mind if he didn't pay up? He still smiled and treated her with excellent manners.

Boom!
This negligent attitude finally broke through Lucy's last psychological defense, and the door slammed shut the next moment.

However, the sound seemed a bit off; the heavy wooden door slammed directly onto Katon, who had just taken a step forward.

……

"Relax... Just relax."

With a dull thud, the old man was almost knocked off his feet.

Then, amidst screams, Carton, instead of retreating, advanced past the couple and entered the house.

The youngest diners at the long table were only three or four years old, but the little boy with thinning hair looked over here without crying.

Katon exchanged a glance with everyone and immediately made a reassuring gesture, indicating that everyone should not be nervous.

After saying that, he ignored everyone's reaction and walked straight towards the stairs.

"That's Wendy's room now..."

It was only then that Ms. Lucy seemed to come to her senses, reminding everyone that things had changed beyond recognition.

Unfortunately, the sound seemed too quiet and was completely drowned out by the creaking noise of the person going upstairs.

"He shouldn't move around too much... Should I go inside and wait?"

Fortunately, we were close by before I paid, so I casually reassured them not to worry and then confirmed with a smile.

……

The atmosphere was eerie; what was originally a peaceful and harmonious family gathering suddenly felt broken.

you……

It was clear that Lucy's hand was gripping the door, as if she wanted to repeat her earlier action and slap Fu Qian's face again.

However, after only a few breaths of stalemate, he turned his back and walked back to the dining table, without even closing the door completely.

"Please come in... Encore."

The first to break the silence was Lucy, who, despite looking distracted, eventually extended an invitation to Fu Qian.

They truly understand the principle of yielding to those who are happy.

When no one went to drag the old man downstairs, Fu Qian was not surprised by this outcome.

Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult. If I, as a fellow traveler, don't come in, who will drag him down if the one above refuses to leave?
