Chapter 66 The Great Teacher [Zhang Jiao]
After more than ten days of waiting, there was finally a response.
Gu Ye sat on the sofa in the living room, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the white card-making materials in his hand. His expression was calm, but he could not hide the turmoil in his heart.
Today, Gu Ye plans to confront Ning Shijun and ask him why he chose him.
Gu Ye felt it was impossible that Ning Shijun chose him simply because he had been precocious as a child.
It's even less likely that they have the ability, so there must be other reasons.
dong dong! !
A rhythmic knocking sound suddenly broke the silence of the living room. Gu Ye's heart skipped a beat, his fingertips paused, and he looked up towards the entrance, a knowing glint in his eyes.
The person has arrived.
After opening the door, Ning Shijun was still dressed in his familiar attire. "Uncle Jun, please come in."
Ning Shijun nodded slightly and stepped into the living room. He saw Buyao lying on the sofa, looking like a homebody, eating potato chips, lounging around like Ge You, watching TV with a relaxed expression.
He walked up to the hairpin with a helpless expression and said, "Did I ask you to protect people like this?"
"Isn't this person alright? Don't block my view of the show."
Buyao reached out and pushed Ning Shijun away. Ning Shijun walked to the other side of the sofa, sat down, and turned to look at Gu Ye.
"I heard you wanted to see me, but I've already learned from Buyao that you don't want to join us."
Gu Ye nodded. He had his own life to live and didn't want to get involved in the struggles between these powerful forces.
"Fine, you have your own choice, and I respect your life." Ning Shijun showed no surprise on his face, his expression remained calm, but his clear black and white eyes were now as deep as an endless abyss, hiding indescribable emotions.
"I think you must have sent me here today for more than just this one thing."
Gu Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and finally asked the question that had troubled him for so long, "Uncle Jun, why did you go to all this trouble to see me? I think it wasn't just to give me a gold card, and also her..."
When Buyao heard her name called, she finally looked up from the TV, pouted, and said with a look of disgust:
"Don't drag me into this. I only accepted Ning Shijun's request to protect you because I was too bored at the base."
Hearing Gu Ye's question, Ning Shijun sat up straight, unconsciously leaning back, his eyes filled with memories. The air became inexplicably quiet, and after a long while, he finally spoke:
"Actually, there was one more thing your parents told you, which I didn't tell you."
Ning Shijun looked at Gu Ye and said, "Brother Yuan, who is also your father, once told me that if you fail to achieve anything and do not become a card master, I should ensure your safety and peaceful life."
He paused, then continued, "But when I saw you again, you were already a renowned card master on campus. So, your father said that if you became a card master, he would give you that golden card, and as for your future life, it would be up to you."
Gu Ye, hearing Ning Shiju repeatedly mention his father, whom he remembered as very ordinary, asked:
"Uncle Jun, what kind of person is my father? Was he a card master?"
Upon hearing Gu Ye's question, Ning Shijun's lips curled into a faint smile, a smile that contained nostalgia, helplessness, and a touch of relief.
"Your father is indeed a card master. As for what kind of person he is, in my eyes he's an unreliable man, but he can turn the tide in critical moments."
"Your mother chose him precisely because your father is unreliable."
Buyao, who had been lounging lazily on the sofa, suddenly sat up and pricked up her ears to listen to Ning Shijun's words. In her mind, she had already imagined a dramatic love-hate relationship.
Gu Ye gave an awkward smile; he didn't want to know about Ning Shijun's love story with his parents.
She quickly changed the subject. Buyao hadn't heard the topic she wanted to hear and stared at Gu Ye with a resentful look. Gu Ye ignored her gaze and asked Ning Shijun, "So it's because I became a card master that you chose to do so much for me?"
"No, that's not it." Ning Shijun shook his head.
"It was my experience in a nightmare-level card domain that led me to Yunlin City and to choose you."
"Otherwise, I can choose any city to finish what we're doing. After all, what we're doing is too dangerous. If something happens to you, I'll feel guilty towards Jing Shu."
Lin Jingshu, Gu Ye's mother. Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Gu Ye's heart clenched, and a pang of sadness welled up in his eyes.
When the Card Domain was mentioned, even Ning Shijun, an epic-level powerhouse, showed a rare expression of fear and sadness on his face.
"It was an important experience in the first half of my life, and also the starting point for the second half. In it, I broke through to the epic level, but also lost my most important brother."
Everyone died, except me. I live on carrying their beliefs, which are the direction I strive for in the rest of my life. In my final moments in the Card Domain, I received a hint about…”
Ning Shijun stared intently at Gu Ye. "Yours!"
"Me??" Gu Ye asked, looking puzzled.
"Yes, He told me that you could help me fulfill our beliefs. That's why I came to Yunlin City to find you, but now it seems that He might have been wrong."
Gu Ye also felt that He was wrong. In this major event, a bronze-level card master was not even as good as cannon fodder.
After saying these words, Ning Shijun felt a sense of relief.
Gu Ye's feelings were incredibly complex at this moment. He had never imagined that his parents had arranged so much for him, and that they were still silently protecting him even after their passing.
After his parents died, his initial dream was to live a peaceful life.
After becoming a card master, he strives to get into a good university, but different dangers follow one after another.
A thought suddenly arose in his mind, carrying a faint yet incredibly urgent hope. He looked up at Ning Shijun, his eyes filled with anticipation, his voice trembling slightly:
"Uncle Jun, my parents... are they still alive? A card master who could leave behind a golden card for him couldn't have died so easily."
Ning Shijun remained silent for a long while, then sighed and said:
"They didn't survive. I'm too late. I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, the hope in Gu Ye's eyes instantly vanished as if extinguished by cold water.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a calm smile, but that smile was filled with bitterness and loneliness.
Although so many years have passed and he has long told himself to accept his parents' passing, the deep longing in his heart for them to still be alive has never truly disappeared.
Upon hearing Ning Shijun's confirmation, his heart still felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, sending a sharp spasm through him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"It's alright, Uncle Jun."
Gu Ye composed himself. He was a grateful person, and since Ning Shijun had helped him resolve the crisis of the Witch Society, Gu Ye was prepared to do his best to help them in return.
What Ning Shijun and his group did was to resist the oppression of aristocratic families, which is very similar to a character Gu Ye knew in his previous life.
That person was a universally acknowledged great and wise teacher, with the world in his heart, unable to bear seeing the people displaced and oppressed by powerful forces.
He founded the Way of Peace, recruited many disciples, and saved countless people from suffering. With the slogan "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise," he was determined to overthrow the corrupt order and create a new world where everyone is equal and can live in peace and prosperity. He was Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Way of Peace.
Gu Ye planned to make this card and give it to Ning Shijun. He believed that Zhang Jiao would be able to realize his ambitions in this world under Ning Shijun's control.
