Grudge Breaker

Chapter 351: Born in the Morning and Died in the Evening (Part )
-
"One-day mayfly."

"This is my only remaining wish for pitching pots."

Sang Pu smiled faintly. This was one of the eight word cards she had written and put into the pot. This was the only card that didn't hit the target, except for the one with the word "fly far away" that she threw into the wedding brazier in front of the prince's mansion for the bride to boast about.

"Master Mo, less than six hours have passed. I, a mayfly, have already lived half my life. If you don't take me away, I'm afraid Sang Pu will waste his whole life here."

"Sang Pu..."

Mo Tingfeng's eyes were hot, he stretched out his hand to pull her but stopped in mid-air - he could not hold the little paw of Song Weichen that he always held tenderly in his palm.

He wanted to tell Sang Pu that she was not a mayfly, and since she could "come back", there must be a way for her to stay and have a chance to rewrite the trajectory of her destiny.

But he couldn't say it. He was afraid that he couldn't afford the price of Sang Pu's leaving behind, and he was afraid that Song Weichen would disappear forever because of this.

Before, Mo Tingfeng had always thought that he looked at Song Weichen differently and regarded her as more important than his own life, because she was the reincarnation of Sang Pu. But when it really came to this point, he realized that he had already made a distinction between Sang Pu and Song Weichen without knowing when.

In other words——

Even without Sang Pu, he would still fall in love with Song Weichen.

It’s a pity that I realized it too late, and it’s a pity that fate plays tricks on me.

……

How good would it be if they were not related in their past life or this life?

Mo Tingfeng even began to imagine, how great it would be if they were independent individuals, with completely independent and vibrant lives?

But if that were the case—

"How can one be in love with two people at the same time?"

This was a question Song Weichen asked him at that time. At that time, she was wavering between Mo Tingfeng and Gu Cangyue. She subconsciously believed that the reason she liked Mo Tingfeng was because of the influence of Sang Pu's memories in her previous life, and she did not dare to take her true feelings seriously.

Now Mo Tingfeng suddenly understood her.

If Sang Pu and Song Weichen were really two different people...

Haha, he laughed at himself bitterly, and in his heart he spit on himself for being such a bastard! But——

"How can one not love two people at the same time?"

……

Mo Tingfeng was completely confused. God knew how complicated his mood was at the moment - gain, loss, love, regret, all kinds of emotions from past and present lives were entangled together, almost drowning him.

He was actually somewhat grateful for the backlash that resulted from this. Those heart-wrenching tortures became a lifeline that eased his guilty conscience - you deserved this torture because it made you unfaithful and made you fall in love with a person's past and present life at the same time.

Mo Tingfeng had no idea that the reason he thought this way was because the emotional balance had long since tilted from Sang Pu to Song Weichen. Just like the conflicted Song Weichen at that time, in fact, the emotional balance had long since tilted from Gu Cangyue to him.

[We always mistake nostalgia for loyalty]

It seems that only by standing still and becoming a petrified statue can one represent his loyalty.

Actually, Sang Pu was right.

The human heart, like the universe, has its own evolutionary order. We should let nature take its course and follow the will of heaven.

……

"Mr. Mo?"

Seeing Mo Tingfeng standing there in a trance, Sang Pu knew that he was once again indulging in the entanglement of past and present lives, so he reminded him quietly,

“Be in the present moment.”

“Be in the present moment.”

Mo Tingfeng subconsciously repeated what Sang Pu said. He knew she was right. She was always right. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, shutting out all the distracting thoughts in his mind. Mo Tingfeng ordered himself to focus on the person in front of him.

"Sang Pu, is there anything special you want to do for today's wish? Or do you want me to arrange it?"

Sang Pu looked at the scenery outside the side hall, and his thoughts seemed to go back a thousand years.
"Mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening. A day is a lifetime."

"In the past, when we were playing pot-throwing in the courtyard, I thought that if I could really hit this card, I would be with you for a day without any care - sleeping in the same bed at dawn, enjoying the fireworks of the market at noon, and cutting candles in front of the west window at dusk. It can barely be considered a good ending to a story."

"But now I am not the real owner of this body, so I cannot act recklessly. How about we compromise? Why don't we just follow our heart? Take me around and tell me about the stars that I have missed in the past thousand years."

Listening to Sang Pu's words, Mo Tingfeng's heart softened. He once again suppressed his urge to reach out and pull her. He opened the door to the side hall with his hand, and his voice was so gentle that it seemed to melt water.

"Sangpu, let's go."
.
"slight!"

Not long after the two of them went out, they met Gu Cangyue who came in a hurry. He had just learned everything from Zhuang Yuheng. At this moment, his eyes were red and he stopped a dozen feet away from the two of them, wanting to get closer but not getting any closer. Looking at the unfamiliar "Song Weichen" in front of him, his heart was in a mess.

Sang Pu guessed who he was at a glance, so he smiled, bowed and greeted Gu Cangyue.

"Mr. Cangyue, nice to meet you."

"slight……"

Gu Cangyue called out again with a trembling voice, staring blankly at the person in front of her - except for the different expression, she was clearly Song Weichen. She couldn't believe how she suddenly turned into the woman from a thousand years ago. "Are you really not Weiwei?"

Although he knew his question was stupid, Gu Cangyue couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Are you serious...you didn't come up with such a ridiculous excuse just to leave me?"

Sang Pu smiled and shook his head.

"I heard Miss Song mention you. She said you look as handsome as her paper husband Gojo Satoru, and you are very protective of your child. No matter right or wrong, you will always stand on her side against your conscience. Although I don't fully understand what she means, I think it is the highest praise. Since she praises you, how could she find such a clumsy excuse to avoid you?"

Light appeared in Gu Cangyue's abyss-like pupils.
"Weiwei, are you really saying that to me?"

"Well, she also said that it was because of me that she was torn between you and Mr. Mo. If one day she becomes the scumbag of the Sea King in the Mei Realm, it will all be my fault."

Sang Pu couldn't help laughing when she recalled Song Weichen's strange words. She didn't expect that she would be so cheerful and lively a thousand years later. This was the "middle school relaxed feeling" that she could never learn in her entire life.

Yes, that feeling of relaxation in the second year of high school. That’s what Song Weichen told her.

Sang Pu once again bowed deeply to Gu Cangyue.

"Don't worry, Master Cangyue. I believe Miss Song will be back soon. She is very smart and I believe she can handle matters of the heart better than I did a thousand years ago."

"Please believe me, no matter who Miss Song's heart belongs to in the future, it is her own choice and has nothing to do with Sang Pu."

After saying this, Sang Pu bowed and walked towards the vaguely visible mansion gate in the distance.

Just as Mo Tingfeng was about to follow, Gu Cangyue grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Mo, our cooperation is cooperation, but Weiwei is Weiwei."

"I will never let go, and don't even think about taking advantage of the fact that Sang Pu's spiritual consciousness is on Wei Wei to get there first. Otherwise, I will destroy you right now. The little magic power you have left is more than enough to kill you!"

Mo Tingfeng glanced at Gu Cangyue, gathered strength in his arms, and broke free from his grip.

"Weiwei once said something, and now I'm giving it to you - how about you cook tonight? I think you're quite good at adding spice to the meal."

"Lord Cangyue, if you have the time to argue with me, why don't you follow the plan we just discussed and go back to the Dream Weaving Department as soon as possible."

"Also, regarding Shu Xinglong, I suspect he has some dealings with the person who trapped Sang Pu in Shudi a thousand years ago, so he did so many things on the second day after Weiwei arrived in Meijie."

"If that's true, his ambition is not just to replace you as the Luan Bird Master Yuanshen. He must have more conspiracies... If these things are really related to the Qin man, you must be extremely cautious in your actions this time and don't alert the enemy."

……

"Long-winded."

Gu Cangyue glanced at the back of "Song Weichen" unwillingly, and gathered magic power around him. He disappeared in a flash, but the sound remained.
"Take good care of her."

"Thank her for saving me a thousand years ago."
.
The realm of deep sleep.

The cave at the end of the Sanzu River was filled with a gloomy aura. Outside the cave, the protective barrier set up by Tianzun was still glowing and shiny, seemingly no different from before.

And in the most inconspicuous corner, the former man in white robe was still hanging there with his soul half torn and half complete, neither alive nor dead. He seemed to have shrunk a little compared to before, and the whole person was only three-quarters of his previous size. However, the magical power he released still tore a small crack in the barrier - a gray-white shadow flew through the crack silently.

"grown ups."

The "shadow" suddenly fell on the thousand-year-old sunken wood that was above the water in the center of the "Wangnian Pool" in the cave, and bowed to the tall and majestic figure next to the crystal coffin.

Shadow's voice was not young, but it was vigorous and deep, obviously that of a martial artist with profound skills and abilities.

The man standing next to the crystal coffin hummed softly, without turning back, his hand still stroking the empty coffin.
"How's it going?" The voice was as shrill as a rat's bite.

"Your Excellency, it's all done."

"Also, there is news from the Sikong Mansion. I heard that the girl who woke up in Mo Tingfengguan was called 'Sang Pu'. I dare to ask what your Excellency's intention is. Why do you want to bring that girl back to life?"

……

"call out--"

"hiss--"

The tall man did not answer. There was silence for a moment, but the whooshing sound made by the souls of the deceased in the cave when they entered the pool of remembrance was particularly obvious. Then, like water drops falling into a hot pot, there was a hissing sound, and smoke rose from the pool, as if it were a hot spring in hell.

Shadow was obviously a little nervous, and he bowed his hands quickly.
"I am a talkative villain. Please punish me, sir!"

"It doesn't matter."

The man standing with his back to the camera waved his hand. His shrill voice was in stark contrast to his appearance.

"This was originally an accident. Who would have thought that Sang Pu, who had been trapped there for a thousand years, would have left some consciousness? It's hard to get rid of her obsession. In this case, why not go with the flow and let her meet Mo Tingfeng."

"If I'm right, this will make Mo Tingfeng's feelings for Song Weichen even purer - pure things are the most powerful. What I want is the 'power of seven emotions' without any impurities. Originally, due to Gu Cangyue's interference, it was a bit difficult to collect these seven emotions. Now it seems, hahaha! Sang Pu's move can be regarded as an unintentional success."

The man laughed to himself, and his shrill voice made people feel cold.

As he laughed, a bright light appeared in the crystal coffin, and its aura seemed even stronger than before.

"There are still six hours left. Let's give this ill-fated couple a chance to say goodbye!"
