Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 896 Just now

In the "vastness" of her heart, she took a deep breath, exhaled, looked up at the sky, moved two steps to the side, and then looked down at where she had stood before. Then her eyes moved forward from where she had stood before, all the way to the ground in the distance. She looked straight ahead, placed the phantom tassel spear in her hand on the ground, let the handle of the spear stick into the soil, and let go. She gradually closed her eyes, slowly raised her head, opened her arms, and felt the vastness of the world and the breath of the universe.

After the "empty" feeling, some thoughts gradually emerged in her heart: At this moment, I am standing under the sky and above the earth, but what exactly does it mean to be a truly upright person? What is a fairy, what is a human, what is a demon? What is the good that people talk about, and what is evil?
She gradually lowered her arms, opened her eyes, pulled out the Phantom Spear from the soil, and walked towards the bush of fiery red roses.

On the way, she saw from the corner of her eye that the people sent by Tie Wandao to guard the Fantasy Tassel Tree and the two Fiery Roses were greeting someone, but it was obviously not greeting her anymore. She turned around and saw that the person was actually Wu Xunsheng!

When she looked at Wu Xunsheng, Wu Xunsheng also looked at her, greeted her, and signaled her not to go back because he was just going over. Then, he walked towards where she was.

She stopped where she was and did not continue walking towards the rose bush. After greeting Wu Xunsheng, she stood facing him and watched him walk towards her.

Wu Xunsheng hadn't walked a few steps when he suddenly thought of his childhood, and the girl running in the wild. While he was thinking this, Tie Hongyan watched him getting closer and closer to her, and for a moment, she thought of him as a child. However, soon, the other person's childhood appearance faded from the content of their thoughts.

"I just……"

"I just……"

When Wu Xunsheng came up to her, the first three words they said were exactly the same, but neither of them finished because the other was also speaking.

"Acting Patriarch, you speak first if you want to say something," Wu Xunsheng said.

"I just thought of what you looked like when you were a child." Tie Hongyan said, "What do you want to say?"

Wu Xunsheng stammered, "Actually...what I want to say...is..."

He didn't finish his sentence right away. "You said half of it again." Tie Hongyan said.

"What I want to say is... I just thought of what you looked like when you were a child." Wu Xunsheng finished his words this time.

"Really?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Yeah, I don't know how it could be such a coincidence." Wu Xunsheng said.

Tie Hongyan asked: "When did you come?"

"Just when you were standing there 'upright' just now." Wu Xunsheng said as he raised his head and opened his arms to imitate her previous movements.

Tie Hongyan thought: What a coincidence! How could he say the words "standing tall and upright"? At that time, I really thought about what it means to be a truly upright person.

"Stand tall and proud?" Tie Hongyan said.

Wu Xunsheng stopped looking up and put his hands down, saying, "Yes, I was quite a distance away from you at that time. I saw you from right behind you. You looked like a man standing tall and proud."

Tie Hongyan smiled and said, "You know, I just really thought about what it means to be a truly upright person."
