Chapter 106 You still have me

Liu Ai ate in small bites and shook her head slightly: "It's nothing."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk for the time being, Chen Li didn't force her. The two of them finished today's dinner in silence.

After eating, Liu Ai picked up the knife and started practicing under the moonlight on the top of the mountain.

Chen Li was beside her, silently accompanying her in practice.

However, as he continued to practice, Liu Ai suddenly stopped when he saw Chen Li's unfathomable sword skills that were countless times more powerful than his own.

Seeing this, Chen Li also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shadows covered Liu Ai's face, and she lowered her head so that no one could see her expression clearly.

"Chen Li..."

"Am I really...suitable to be a swordsman?"

Liu Ai's voice was as soft and soft as ever.

But now he is trembling a little, as if he is worried about something.

"Why do you ask like that?" Chen Li couldn't help but frown, "You are only fourteen years old, and you are already a Tongyou. There are many Tongyous your age in this world who can be counted on one hand. If you are not suitable to be a swordsman, then this There is no one in the world who is suitable for it.”

The words reached Liu Ai's ears, and she shook her head slowly: "伱."

"Compared to you, I'm nothing."

"The teacher said that with your talent, you will definitely become a heavenly being in this life."

"But he didn't say that to me."

Liu Ai raised her head and looked at the night sky. The moonlight illuminated her face, which made her face look a little pale.

Only then did Chen Li realize that she was crying quietly...

"I...can't become a celestial being."

"Even Kenshin, I feel like I still have many years to reach it."

"At least...twenty years."

She put her right hand on her chest and tightly grasped the clothes in front of her heart.

"It will take me twenty years to have the qualifications for revenge."

"It's just a qualification."

"No one as strong as the teacher, or even you, can kill the sword-shin ghost."

"I want to be as strong as you or your teacher now, but do I need more than twenty years?"

Liu Ai turned to look at Chen Li, her eyes filled with tears. She smiled bitterly: "Maybe, when you are strong enough to kill the ghost king, I can't even break through the defense of the sword heart ghost."

"Even if you bring the hermit in front of me and ask me to kill him, I can't kill him."

"You became stronger so fast that I don't have the patience to wait twenty years for revenge."

"Do you know how I feel?"

"Chen Li..." Liu Ai finally cried, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will have nothing..."

Chen Li took a step forward, gently took Liu Ai's petite body into his arms, and whispered: "You still have me."

"I know, it's because of this that I'm afraid..." Liu Ai buried her head in Chen Li's chest, pressed her forehead against his chest, lowered her head and let her tears fall to the ground.

"Without you, I can practice without any scruples without worrying about anything."

"But you are still here. I have lost my father. I can no longer bear the consequences of losing you..."

"I thought that even if you walked in front of me, I could keep up with you and stay by your side..."

"But now I see I was wrong."

"We're not on the same road at all."

"You are too strong, so strong that I am not even qualified to chase you."

Liu Ai hugged Chen Li tightly, as if she wanted to integrate herself into his body.

"I'm afraid that I'm too weak to stay by your side."

"If I continue to be so weak, one day I will not be able to stay by your side anymore..."

Hearing this, Chen Li was silent for a while.

He didn't expect that Liu Ai was worried about this issue, so he couldn't help but whisper: "Don't worry, I won't leave you."

"I will always be your brother, it has nothing to do with anything else, including strength."

Under the moonlight, the two hugged each other tightly, just to dispel Liu Ai's uneasiness.

"Believe in your power."

Chen Li comforted him: "You will definitely become very strong." "Human potential... is unlimited."

……

late at night.

Liu Ai lay on her side on the bed, staring at the night scene outside the window in a daze, her golden pupils shining in the dark night.

Just now, she actually didn't say a word.

"If you become a ghost, will I be able to catch up with you?"

Before she learned that Liu Wanyuan was dead, she was very resistant to becoming a ghost.

But now, she feels that becoming a ghost is not so unacceptable.

She is still alive now, purely relying on two things to support her.

One is revenge.

Second, Chen Li was still there and she couldn't bear to leave him.

If she becomes a ghost, she will become stronger and her chances of succeeding in revenge will increase.

but……

This means that she will lose Chen Li - Chen Li was born to be the ghost killer king, and there is absolutely no room for any ghost in his eyes.

After all the entanglements, Liu Ai finally chose Chen Li.

She chose to believe what Chen Li said at the end.

Human potential is unlimited…

Liu Ai closed her eyes and fell asleep slowly.

Meanwhile, another room.

Chen Li meditated on the bed, absorbing the thin spiritual energy around him.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura flashed away, like a bolt of lightning flashing through Chen Li's mind.

He opened his eyes suddenly and instantly activated his spiritual vision.

"That aura...is definitely the teacher's."

"But why...so...turbid?"

"Is it possible that the retreat failed?"

"But, this breath... is far stronger than before..."

In less than a second, he spotted Jiang Xuantong's figure.

The other party stood under the moonlight, looking at the bright moon in the sky, with his eyes closed, and the breath on his body rose and fell.

Sensing something was wrong, Chen Li's figure flashed and disappeared from the place in an instant.

The next second, he was already beside Jiang Xuantong.

"Teacher, was the retreat successful?"

Chen Li thought Jiang Xuantong had exhausted his skills on the road to Jianxin again.

But when he got closer, he suddenly noticed something and turned on his spiritual vision again.

Then he saw an illusory red fragment floating quietly in Jiang Xuantong's mind.

Chen Li couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

With disbelief in his eyes, he said: "Old...teacher?"

"On the contrary." Jiang Xuantong turned around, looked at Chen Li with calm eyes, and said with a smile: "The retreat was successful."

He saw the look in Chen Li's eyes and knew that the changes that had taken place in him could not be hidden from Chen Li. After all, even the hermit who had been pretending to be Liu Wanyuan for many years was discovered by Chen Li at a glance.

Moreover, he never thought of hiding anything.

Chen Li looked into Jiang Xuantong's eyes and found a hint of relief.

There is also a faint twinge of guilt.

And the bloodthirsty desire that was growing rapidly, but was suppressed by Jiang Xuantong at the moment.

"Chen Li, I'm sorry."

Jiang Xuantong shook his head and said, "I am not a qualified teacher."

"After all... I still lost to desire."
