The Spirit World

Chapter 487 Blank Scroll Act

【Act 13: Blank】

[Sheep... I found a good home for you... I think you will love him... at least in this life...]

"I'm talking about your future..." Bai Yuting looked into Chang Yufeng's eyes. Those black eyes were filled with doubt and fearlessness.

"My future..." Chang Yufeng looked at the extremely tiny book. He had no idea what the book was about, but to some extent, Bai Yutang had already told him.

That is a book of the future.

The Book of the Future is so small that it cannot record any person’s deeds, and there is no handwriting on it. The blank Book of the Future cannot predict anyone’s future.

"You want to ask Lan Luo everything now, this concerns your future." Bai Yuting stopped him. When they went down the stairs, the wind and snow here had already eroded their bodies.

The snow is getting colder.

"Don't you have any feelings about Li Ruyue's death? She just died in front of you! She died in front of all of us..." Bai Yutang continued to ask. Perhaps he didn't want to ask people with twisted logic, so he just said this and stopped.

He stopped fanning himself.

"I know how powerful Lan Luo is... I thought you knew it too." Chang Yufeng didn't understand why Bai Yuting would say such inexplicable words.

"This is scary, isn't it?" Bai Yutang looked at Chang Yufeng in shock. He seemed very surprised by Chang Yufeng's answer. "This is scary, isn't it? Lan Luo killed a person easily. What's more scary is that no one here feels sad for her, including you. We still have to continue this matter as if nothing happened. Don't you feel scared?"

Bai Yuting's question was like a meaningless remark that entered Chang Yufeng's ears, came out, and then disappeared silently.

“Didn’t the people who died in Crescent Bay die because the five major families blocked the territory? If Li Ruyue died, it would be a very normal thing… It’s just the matter of death, why can’t she do the same?” Chang Yufeng looked at Bai Yuting calmly, his eyes beginning to become lifeless.

"Ah?" Bai Yuting snorted, breaking out in a cold sweat after being shocked by Chang Yufeng's words.

"So... you are like this..." Bai Yuting looked at Chang Yufeng in surprise. He didn't say why. Just the word "so" made Chang Yufeng's gaze turn to him.

This person seems to be very familiar with me.

It would be fine if they were really familiar with each other, but I’m afraid that they are just being too familiar with each other. When they meet me, they feel that they are familiar with me.

Those who are good at observing the stars and predicting fortunes all have these problems. If they are restrained, others will be worried and won’t talk much. If they are not restrained, others will take it as flattery.

Bai Yuting seemed to know everything, which made Chang Yufeng wonder how much Xun Huangying had told him.

He just couldn't calm down. He had been upset too much, so it was no wonder that he had to endure all the ups and downs. The more meticulous the people were, the more he didn't know how to treat them. It was not a trivial matter for him to meet someone with a careless mind.

But, coincidentally or not, he felt depressed, and from beginning to end, he just lacked a chance to find out the truth.

Who are his enemies and friends?

"You are so stupid..." Bai Yutang shook his head, sighed, and turned around. He put away the little book, lowered his head with a sad face: "Forget it... Anyway, you won't understand even if I tell you... The warmth and coldness of human feelings in this world are also like this... It makes people feel uneasy... Maybe you are worrying me too much, I don't want to care about your affairs..."

"Bai Yutang...are you...my enemy? Or my friend?" Chang Yufeng asked suddenly.

"Me?" Bai Yuting looked up at the high platform. The drifting snow and wind pressed into his eyes and melted into his eyes. He fainted silently, and his tears slowly flowed down his cheeks.

"I am nothing..." Bai Yuting's face was filled with sorrow, and not a bit of his good looks were left.

"But you... do you know what you are now? Or do you know what your next step should be?" Bai Yuting turned around and asked him, excitedly wanting to hold his hand. He was like a child who had encountered good things, looking at Chang Yufeng expectantly. Chang Yufeng's hand was also placed there for no reason, and when he was pulled up by him, he placed it in his palm without any strength.

"Are you... Xun Huangying's subordinate?" Chang Yufeng looked at his sincere eyes and felt an indescribable weirdness for a moment.

It's really weird, isn't it?
The people here are all very weird... or maybe there's something wrong with my perception. I have no idea about their motives and purposes, so compared to their clear and self-conscious words and silences, I can only be a small spectator.

Even the ambiguity is something that I am aware of.

He is neither an enemy nor a friend to anyone, so he does not receive that much attention.

His mind is full of confusion now.

Is this terrible? It is not terrible... What is terrible is that he cannot change himself.

This was clearly a very sad thing, but his face could only show calmness.

He doesn't know who he is.

Or in other words... he simply didn't know where his future would lie... so he wanted guidance more and more, not Xun Huangying's guidance, but Lan Luo's guidance.

How he wished that there could be a guiding star in his world to point him in the right direction.

That person should not be Xun Huangying, nor should he be Bai Yuting.

Bai Yutang was just an excuse for him to come here.

Excuses, right?
"I'm asking you..." Bai Yutang still held his hand.

"I don't have to answer... I'm just asking you..." Chang Yufeng looked at him, just groping for his answer.

"I'm scared..." Bai Yutang looked worried again.

"I'm scared too..." Chang Yufeng sighed.

"We are actually in the same boat..."

"If you think so."

"It's a pity that I have lost my other powers, otherwise I would definitely be able to help you..." Bai Yutang let go of his hand.

His appearance became more serious, and the sadness in his expression turned into indifferent shyness.

“But, really, I can’t tell you… what on earth you are doing… Whether it’s Xun Huangying, no, as long as you are here… you will never have a future…” Bai Yutang continued, his eyes were always on Chang Yufeng. What he saw in Chang Yufeng’s eyes… seemed to be only indifference.

How could he become such a person...

Really...

I'm curious...

What on earth did Xun Huangying do to him...

"No... future..." Could it be that Chang Yufeng's breath really contained the word "future"...

The future... the future...

"I never had a future, I thought I could have one now... but in fact, I never had a future..."

"I know you would say that... so I also want to... help you..."

"Because I am... the King of Tianyu's Kind Heart?"

"No... If the King of Tianyu Renxin dies... then he is dead... isn't he? The dead cannot be resurrected... You should know this truth..." Bai Yutang smiled softly. He might have thought of something happy, instead of the cruelty of never being able to be resurrected that he said...

"Because, you are you... I really want to help you... instead of helping the King of Kindness of Tianyu..."

At this moment, all the wind and snow on Bai Yuting's body became dim and dull, making people despair.

"So who are you?" Chang Yufeng also laughed.

But his smile was bitter...

He felt miserable not because he couldn't do anything he wanted to do.

He feels bitter because he has retreated now...

When asked about the future...

Perhaps Bai Yutang is the first...

This was no joke, Bai Yutang was the only one who had ever mentioned the word "future" to him. And the future he had talked about in the past was always illusory, helpless, and even unattainable.

Do you know? I have never thought about returning to the human world from the spirit world... Chen Lin... Every word I said to you about the future was a lie...

I know that I was telling myself a white lie, and there are always people who need to tell white lies to help others find peace of mind.

When did I realize that I had no future? Perhaps, it was when I was thinking about my future again and again. The more I thought about it, the more confused I became about my future.

The rock that pressed down on Xunhuangying never retreated... I could do nothing... Haha, what a familiar feeling, it always accompanies him.

The future, what a luxury...

What is he going to do...what does he want to get, how does he want to live...can he really get it just by thinking about it?
He doesn't like to crush other people's feelings, so what kind of feelings or feelings are these...Does he need to care about other people's thoughts? If he doesn't care about other people's thoughts, what kind of person is he now...

He couldn't understand or guess it.

But he is who he is now.

He might know that his memory was erased by Xun Huangying, but so what... At least he still knew that he was a human being...

Maybe he is a somewhat cowardly person, not an incompetent one, but just a mediocre person with some kindness.

Maybe he has always been a mediocre person...

But he is nothing after all...

A person without a future, a person who doesn't know what he should do in the future, can only live like this in the end.

How to survive?

For whom to live...

For myself...

But is it possible?
"Do you feel guilty for making someone who loves you wait for most of his life?" Bai Yutang looked at Chang Yufeng who was thinking. Chang Yufeng's absent-mindedness only made him feel at ease.

"What?" Chang Yufeng heard what he said.

There was a pause at first, then silence.

"I mean... let a woman who loves you wait for you for most of her life... would you feel guilty?" Bai Yutang's mouth corners curved down and he sighed.

His white clothes rose and fell rhythmically, like his breath, exhaling into his chest and then pressing down heavily, and when he exhaled again, it melted some snow and filled the air with mist.

"..."

Chang Yufeng suddenly fell silent again.

"Who?"

"Someone who loves you..."

"Why……"

"No reason... that person is waiting for you... in the future..."

“I have no future…”

"I know……"

"My memory has been cut..."

"I know……"

"I can't think straight..."

"I know……"

"I don't know how to think..."

"I know……"

"I...shouldn't let anyone love me...I..."

"But that person just loves you..."

"I don't know...who have I loved...there should be no love in my world...I should be for myself..."

"You don't deserve this..."

"I can bear the current situation..."

"That's why everyone wants to help you... The radiance you radiate makes all those with selfish motives...feel ashamed."

"I'm not a saint... I'm not that good... I have selfish motives..."

"How much of your memory do you still remember..."

"A lot... a lot... but also very little, nothing at all..."

"I can let Lan Luo take you away... let's escape..."

Bai Yuting looked at Chang Yufeng and took out the fan in his hand. He opened it with a swish, and the birds, insects and fish painted on the fan emerged one by one, and then slowly appeared like ripples in clear water, one after another, and those birds, beasts, insects and fish became extremely blurry.

"Then you will be able to see her. The person who loves you has been waiting for you in the future..." Bai Yutang went to ask for his opinion. They talked so much, but time never stopped. But the strange thing was that no one cared about what they were doing.

They didn't show up for a long time.

"I..." Faced with the sudden question, Chang Yufeng looked at Bai Yuting, who was about to take action and become serious, with some embarrassment.

He covered his face with a fan, just like when he found Chang Yufeng in Crescent Bay.

"You want to... take him away... no... my lady..." A voice came from the platform. Xun Huangying stepped out with one foot, and the tall boots turned into a pair of shiny black leather shoes.

He was dressed in a suit and tie, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He stepped up the stairs one by one, looking down at the two of them.

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Of course, if he smiles, that would be cute too.

He did smile, and it was cute enough.

"Mei Qingzi, you want so many things...you are so greedy..." Xunhuang's image was a little rabbit, jumping down the stairs with its feet together and coming to their side.

The two men watched him come down in silence, and both retreated vigilantly.

"Where is your veil? Why is it gone, Chang Yufeng?" Xun Huangying snapped his fingers, and with a click, Chang Yufeng suddenly saw the veil appear in front of him. In the white veil, he didn't even realize the difference between what was just now and now.

Yes... When did his veil disappear...

Just now, it was clearly there all the time, but now, it seems to have completely returned.

"Are you...surprised? How could you be surprised?"

Xun Huangying smiled. He was so happy, but completely out of tune with the two people.

"You've gone too far... Xun Huangying..." Bai Yutang looked at Chang Yufeng.

"I thought you didn't mind other people's business..." Xun Huangying shook his head and sat down on the steps. He turned his back to the two of them. Chang Yufeng and Bai Yuting didn't dare to move.

"are you happy?"

He asked...

Then he answered himself.

"I don't think you'll be happy either... Chang Yufeng... I did go a little too far... but... you guys haven't figured out one thing..."

Xun Huangying sat on the stairs. He slowly raised his head and watched the wind and snow stop...

"I never said...I'm a good person..."
