The Spirit World

Chapter 445 Don’t be confused! Don’t be lost! Don’t blame yourself!

[“I…Is this…hell…”

Everything in the Tower of Babel...

That imposing young man...

For me...to fight that big devil.

I am falling...

Is it going to fall into the abyss?

The abyss of hell...

"Hello... Yu Su... Long time no see..."]

I really want to tell you, but I can't tell you normally now...

How should I make choices, how should I distinguish right from wrong? I even find it difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

I shouldn't be like this.

Even though I am like this now.

What I want...

What I want to be...

What can I become...

I……

Isn’t this too pretentious?

No matter how much you ask, you ultimately have to ask yourself.

The waves that surged in Chang Yufeng's heart were suppressed by this thought. His heart was so calm.

He really wanted to say that he had made a mistake, and he was responsible, so he should admit that he was wrong. Why was he so hypocritical? He had made no mistakes before... Why should he care about a mistake at that moment? The more hypocritical he was, the harder it was to get close to the truth.

Be sober.

"Little master, I think you must be feeling very complicated right now." The little blue and white wolf Tucker raised his head and looked at Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng looked at her and saw a relieved expression instead. She looked very relaxed, and her eyes were clean and clear.

"I also know that without the master by your side to grow up, many truths will only hit a wall, and it will be difficult to correct them even if you hit a wall, but it doesn't matter... Xiaolan has seen what the little master has been doing, and knows that the little master already has the ability to handle things on his own. Just do what you think you should do. There is no need to be confused or lost. Behind you, Xiaolan will always back you up. Don't be afraid. Don't be confused. The little master will always find the goal in his heart... It's just that the goal is quite difficult..."

Xiao Lan put the little white wolf down and walked to Sylph. Sylph was trembling with pain, but still somewhat resisted Xiao Lan's coming.

"So, aren't you humans' pursuers..." Sylph glanced at Chang Yufeng who was sitting in meditation. He looked very quiet, but not indifferent. He had a melancholy look on his face. He sat in the mud and water like a meditating monk.

He is very sad... anyone with eyes can see it.

But no one knew why he was sad.

The boredom of being kept in the dark almost suffocated his soul.

But this idea was just his wishful thinking. No one lied to him, and no one told him where the way forward lay.

He needs to find it himself.

On this road of searching, making mistakes is not such a terrible thing.

He also knew that he was being pretentious. Thinking too much would only make his thoughts more and more scattered and weird. The sad and resentful fantasies were eating away at his heart.

"Since the little master has already taken action... then don't be afraid again and retreat." Xiao Lan seemed to have finished speaking to Chang Yufeng, and put his hand behind Sylph, and continued in a voice that only Sylph could hear: "My little master is not a human pursuer. If you encounter any trouble, it must be because you ran away for no reason, making the situation so difficult to resolve... But you are the ones who get hurt after all, so please bear with me."

"We really need to escape... If you are not human pursuers, then you are the owner of the house..." Sylph's hair on both sides hung down by her ears like fluff. Her long hair had a little green in it, which was probably dyed black by herself. The mud and water stuck to it, causing it to fade a little.

"I was too reckless..." Chang Yufeng finally spoke, looking at Sylph who was somewhat confused.

"Sorry……"

Chang Yufeng didn't make any move, he just said the three words "I'm sorry". He still had some hesitation, but now it seemed more direct.

He was a little disjointed, like he was talking about something else…

"That being said, we were a little anxious... your sword strike was too much like the executioners who massacred my people... I had no choice but to run away..." Sylph paused for a moment, and when the words came to her lips, she was afraid she couldn't say them.

What did you say...

Maybe this was indeed an embarrassing misunderstanding. Both parties did not communicate with each other and ended up chasing each other without saying a word.

He chased because he was afraid that his residence would be known. Those shadows in the dark kept pestering him and disturbing his mind.

His anxiety, his fear, and his affectation mostly come from this.

She ran away because she had to...

"In fact, we have never met before... I understand that you think I am a bad person... Let's just forget about this matter... I was wrong first... But..."

Sylph was also hesitant to speak. She looked at Tucker, who also looked at her and nodded.

"But I hope you can let us go... We don't want to be prisoners of humans..."

"What?" Xiao Lan was a little surprised, as if she didn't hear clearly what Sylph said.

"If you catch us... you will definitely take us to the market to sell us... If we don't run away, you are good people. We beg you to let us go..."

Sylph lowered her head, and although she was reluctant, she kowtowed anyway.

"We are not elf dealers..." Xiao Lan shouted in surprise and glanced at Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng stood up, frowned, and slowly walked towards Sylph.

"I'll take this as your agreement... let's say goodbye now..." Sylve struggled to stand up, and Tucker instantly turned into a running wolf. With one jump, he came to Sylve, who was almost healed.

"Are you being hunted?" Chang Yufeng watched them wanting to leave. He didn't need to dwell on the fact that he had hurt them. He had almost suppressed all the guilt.

Seeing that they seemed to be hiding something, I couldn't bear to let them leave with injuries.

"Human... I have the right to remain silent..." Sylph stepped onto Tucker's waist and wrapped them in muddy fur.

"I'm sorry for everything I did, which made you think I was a bad person..." Chang Yufeng was actually standing shoulder to shoulder with the tall running wolf, and Tucker's wolf head was tilted to look at her.

"Us too...but let's just forget about this matter...no need to mention it again...our wounds will be healed by our gods, and we'll say goodbye now..." Sylph grabbed Tucker's fur, and Tucker turned his wolf head and looked towards the forest ahead.

"Okay..." Chang Yufeng regained some energy...

In this spirit world, there has always been disturbance. He heard from Rajel that today there are drunk people who go crazy for no reason... Tomorrow there are elves traders wandering around in the black market... And those slaves who have not yet been liberated are being tortured in some people's homes. He was still young at the time, and he was reminded day and night to protect himself carefully. During the period when the shadow hunters were the most rampant, every household in Mous Village could not leave their homes, and patrols also circled around the village during the day.

No adult would find it strange, as they were on high alert, protecting their village and family day and night.

When murderers and wild beasts attack, they are able to unite at the first moment.

As for other things, he only heard from the adults that even today, about a hundred years have passed since the New Testament era, the elves of the Elf Kingdom are still persecuted in other countries because of their beauty.

He suddenly understood, and suddenly felt his own insignificance.

Today I met the elves living among the Chinese. In the elves' minds, do they regard humans as bad people the first time they see them?
He was a little dazed...

"How I wish we could sit down and talk..." Chang Yufeng took a deep breath sadly. Perhaps... it has always been too gloomy...

No one likes gloom...

His smile is bitter...

Then he stopped laughing...

The first thing Sylph said was human beings - that is, she wanted to kill her and cut her into pieces. So that's what she meant...

My appearance must be scary...

Even if I was chopping the door... it was like I was chopping them hiding behind the door...

This matter... is not complicated, but it gives people an indescribable feeling, very stuffy... like a dead air, making Chang Yufeng not know where to start.

"There's nothing to talk about... I've seen a lot of people's hypocrisy... Even though you're not one of them, I'll leave it at that... You're just one in a million..."

Sylph said nothing more, lay on Tucker's back and patted him on the back. Tucker understood what she meant and started running again.

Chang Yufeng stretched out his hand. Somehow, he wanted to say that he had just misunderstood them... and thought they were the [shadows] that were tracking him.

But he withdrew his hand again, his breath was gasping, and he turned around tremblingly, picking up the long sword that was already stuck in the soil.

This long sword is so ordinary that there is a gap on the blade. It is obvious that it has been blocked. Although they look seriously injured, they are actually not in serious condition. There is indeed something blocking the sword.

He heard that the elves believed in gods, and the power of gods protected them, which was a rare amulet.

"Young Master, please take to heart what I just said and don't blame yourself too much..."

"I don't blame myself..."

"But..." Xiao Lan flew to Chang Yufeng's shoulder and had to remain silent, not saying anything more.

She looked at the figure that was already going away.

"I don't blame myself..." Chang Yufeng repeated: "I just don't know what to do next... I almost killed them, which is also a sin..."

A drop of cold raindrops fell on his face. He glanced at the sky, which was still gloomy. He had felt tired before, but now it was gone...

It started to rain quietly again...

"No... Let me tell you this..." Xiao Lan coughed: "If they are indeed the ones tracking the little master, our kindness will only put us in trouble. Although they are not, we have nothing to say in terms of legal principles and human relations... The rest will be left to others to think about... We should not think of our best side, but think of the worst-case scenario of what to do if we are killed. This is the smart way... I think there is nothing wrong with doing this. Although we were wrong in the end, it is harmless at the moment..."

Xiao Lan also sighed and continued: "In this world, there are so many people who are entangled and unable to distinguish between good and evil, and who cannot choose between good and evil... They can't even protect themselves... My little master finally has the ability to protect himself, but he still has to suffer such troubles. It is never wrong to protect yourself, and there is no need to worry about it."

Chang Yufeng nodded slightly, he turned around, straightened his body, walked back, and walked slowly on the muddy ground, which became much smoother after being wet and slippery.

"Xiao Lan... are you able to understand my heart like Xun Huangying?"

Chang Yufeng glanced at her.

“Is this important?”

"If it's you, then it doesn't matter..."

"That's it..."

Chang Yufeng sheathed the sword. The sword felt heavy in his hand. Strength is necessary after all... Although this kind of strength is just a form of violence, it is the only way to protect oneself.

He has not yet truly entered the world and dealt with other people, but his inexplicable ability to see through the sinister nature of the world is becoming increasingly obvious.

Everything he has experienced reminds him to protect himself. The right or wrong of the outcome does not affect your original intention of protecting yourself. This is human instinct.

The most important thing for a person to do is to learn to protect himself. This is certainly not an excuse to maliciously hurt others...

But if there really was a bad guy hiding in that mud house just now, the hidden weapon could have killed him long ago.

You can't put yourself in a dangerous situation and then think about other things.

Some people would say it is heartless... but you have to be alive to say it is heartless.

If there were really labels of good and evil in people's heads, it would be much easier. There wouldn't be so many doubts, so many mental journeys. It would just be a simple judgment of good and evil, and that would be it...

Chang Yufeng looked up, feeling the rain dripping on his body. The cold touch made everything seem so unusual...

Xiao Lan's umbrella followed, her small arms holding the oil-paper umbrella. Chang Yufeng gently took it and sighed.

"Let's go... This can be considered an adventure... I guess, in the future, we will definitely have many such things happen. We have no idea who the other party is, what their backers are, or what their intentions are. But like you said... I still need to be vigilant at all times and protect myself... We are no longer traveling with Xun Huangying... My current dream can only be said to be half-baked, so I need to be more careful."

"Yeah, yeah!" Xiao Lan nodded obediently.

"Hey! You guys! It's raining heavily again!" Junyi Tachibana's voice was shouting in the distance. She seemed to see herself and waving over there. She ran and shouted, and was somewhat happy to find Chang Yufeng.

"That hairpin was left by Lin'er..." Xiao Lan glanced at Chang Yufeng, and Chang Yufeng calmly looked at Tachibana Junichi who was running over.

"And it was Lin'er's hairpin from a long, long time ago... so long ago that I almost forgot about that time."

Chang Yufeng sobbed unconsciously again, his voice was so firm, as if he had already determined the origin of the hairpin.

"Far... so far... that the young master has forgotten..." Xiao Lan looked at Chang Yufeng in confusion. She didn't understand what he meant.

"Yeah... that was... a very distant time... it reminded me of a lot of things... and that's one of the reasons why I had to chase after it..."

"why?"

"Because this is not the object of the current Lin'er, but the object of that Lin'er."

"what?"

"When you were still Linglong Feiyu... her hairpin."
