Chapter 157 The True Thoughts Deep in My Heart
"Then why are you showing off your bloodline power now?"
Mr. Wen's eyes were gentle but full of seriousness. He naturally exuded a majesty that made people feel awe.
His voice was deep and powerful, as if every word contained endless power.
This power does not come from his status or strength, but from his deep inner persistence.
"..."
The girl Dai Yan was silent and did not say anything.
Old Wen just sat there quietly waiting, taking a sip of tea from time to time, without urging anyone.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, a long time had passed and the tea in the cup was almost gone.
At this time, Old Wen sighed softly, slowly reached into his arms, and took out two letters.
He said calmly, "Take it and have a look."
After finishing speaking, Elder Wen immediately added: "I will wait for you in the ancestral hall. I hope you can make a choice as soon as possible."
After saying this, Mr. Wen gently placed the letter on the table, then stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the room.
The girl Dai Yan gently cast her gaze towards the table, and before she touched the letter, she saw the familiar and beautiful handwriting on the envelope.
"From Mr. Wen himself."
The girl Dai Yan's gaze fell on these four words, and her originally calm emotions instantly rippled.
She carefully picked up the two letters, her eyes lingering on the handwriting on the envelopes, confirming them repeatedly.
She concluded that the handwriting was all from her sister and there was nothing unusual about it. The only difference was the condition of the envelope.
One of them was slightly old, as if it had been through a long time; the other was relatively new, as if it had just been delivered.
After a little thought, the girl Dai Yan finally decided to open the older letter first.
"to whom It May Concern:"
"I feel so grateful to see you in person. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you, elder.
Mr. Wen must have heard about the recent situation at my family and mine. Sheng'er is now traveling far away to improve his cultivation, leaving my sister alone at home. I feel uneasy, but there is no elder to protect her at home. The situation is difficult. I hope Mr. Wen can take care of her. Sheng'er will repay Mr. Wen's kindness when he returns home.
Best wishes to you.
Yours sincerely, Xiaosheng. "
The girl Dai Yan looked at the letter in her hand. Although her expression was calm, her hands were shaking.
She knew that her sister Xiaosheng went to Qingfeng Temple to practice, hoping to improve her skills and protect herself, but she was also worried about her sister's safety at home alone.
But what she didn't know was that her sister had already thought about his situation at home. Yuchi Xiaosheng wrote a letter to Mr. Wen, asking him to take care of himself.
So it was not that she no longer cared about herself after leaving. She still cared about herself and did not abandon herself.
The girl couldn't wait to quickly open the second letter. Her fingers trembled slightly, as if she could feel the important information in the letter.
As the envelope was opened, a piece of letter paper appeared before his eyes, covered with words.
The girl widened her eyes and read every word carefully, afraid of missing any details.
A sad expression gradually appeared on her face, as if the letter had brought her a great shock.
"Dear warm gentlemen:
Seeing your letter is like meeting you in person. I wish you good health and bow to you with a smile.
I'm embarrassed to bother you so many times.
Four years have passed, and Sheng'er has not made any breakthrough. He is in poor health and has no way to recover. He is too embarrassed to return home and cannot protect my sister.
If Xiaosheng unfortunately passes away in the future, I hope that Mr. Wen will help my sister escape from the control of the family and not let Daiyan know, for fear that my sister will do something extraordinary and bring disaster upon herself.
After my death, my tablet was moved into the ancestral hall. I cannot repay Mr. Wen’s kindness. Xiaosheng would like to thank Mr. Wen here.
Looking back on the past, I am grateful for your care and I wish Mr. Wen good health.
Xiaosheng bows and respectfully presents this."
After reading the letter, the girl turned pale and tears fell from her eyes. She felt extremely sad because she had been looking forward to her sister's return.
"elder sister……"
The girl suddenly stood up and rushed towards the ancestral hall like a gust of wind.
Her steps were light and firm, as if there was an unstoppable force pushing her forward.
The door of the ancestral hall was open to welcome her arrival.
After entering the ancestral hall, the girl stood firmly and quickly glanced around.
A faint fragrance filled the ancestral hall, and flickering candlelight illuminated the rows of neatly arranged memorial tablets.
In the center, an old man was sitting quietly on a cushion on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.
The girl's gaze lingered in front of each memorial tablet, searching carefully.
Her eyes were full of anxiety, and she hoped not to find the tablet that had always concerned her.
Finally, as time went by, she looked at all the tablets, but she did not see the one she had in mind.
Her mood finally relaxed and she felt a little relieved.
“That’s fine…”
The girl whispered to herself, a smile on her face.
She finally understood what she really thought.
At this moment, the old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the girl.
His voice was calm and gentle: "Do you see your heart clearly now?"
The girl turned around and faced the old man's question. She was panting and a crystal tear was hanging on her cheek.
She took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "I see clearly..."
“Still hate it?”
The old man continued to ask, his eyes sharp.
The girl shook her head gently, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes: "I have never hated..."
Old Wen nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face, his eyes gentle and kind.
He said softly, "That's great. Some things need to be said, otherwise there will inevitably be resentment in the future."
The girl looked quietly at the amiable old man in front of her, her eyes full of gratitude.
She knew very well that if some things were kept in her heart, it would only make her more and more uncomfortable, and might even affect the relationship between them.
If you have something to say, you should speak it out bravely. After all, neither you nor I can read minds and know other people's true thoughts.
If you always keep your true feelings to yourself, it will only lead to misunderstandings and regrets.
"My sister..."
The girl hesitated to speak, she didn't know how to start asking about her sister.
Elder Wen seemed to understand the girl's thoughts. He comforted her, "Don't worry. I've already sent people to investigate. When she entered the country, she nearly went astray. Fortunately, she has been rescued by her master."
Hearing this news, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the worries in her heart gradually dissipated.
"It's just that my body can't recover to its original state temporarily. It will take some time."
But the young girl Dai Yan still frowned. She didn't know whether Mr. Wen said this to reassure her.
She wanted to know the truth about her sister.
After hesitating for a while, Dai Yan spoke.
"Can I... go to Qingfeng Temple to see her?"
Old Wen sighed and shook his head.
"You can go, but Xiaosheng will die."
The girl Daiyan's eyes were red. She didn't understand why they couldn't coexist and one of them had to die. Ning Yuanbu said so, and did Old Wen think so too?
"why?"
Old Wen slowly stood up, walked to the door, looked up at the sky, and left his back to Dai Yan.
"I believe you have seen the annotations in the ancient books."
"Yeah." Dai Yan nodded slightly.
"Actually, from the beginning, when the twin girls were born, everyone thought Xiaosheng was the stronger one, even I thought so."
"But it seems that you are the stronger one today, right?"
Old Wen's voice was long and deep, as if it came from ancient times, carrying with it a sense of vicissitudes of life accumulated over the years.
His eyes were deep and complex, as if he was recalling some distant past, or thinking about the reality before him.
Although what he said was a question, his tone was full of certainty, as if he already knew the answer.
"..."
The girl didn't say anything, just remained silent.
Her eyes were as calm as water, as still as a deep pool.
However, beneath that calm appearance, endless pain is hidden.
She looked at Old Wen's back quietly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"Since you are the stronger one, some things must be told to you."
Elder Wen's voice was still long and lingering, with an unquestionable firmness.
"The Saint's bloodline cannot have twin daughters. It's not because the weak are useless, but because the weak will take away the luck of the strong."
The girl Dai Yan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of nature, but it contained shock.
