Chapter 1018: Fly away
“Young Master Song, if you treat me as a friend, listen to my persuasion. Leave Princess Qian Fang and Prince Qian Hua, then take your people, and fly away.”
Song Lang frowned his eyebrows, turned his head, and looked at the plum tree in the courtyard. The plum tree’s branches were knotted, but not yet in full bloom.
Although the new year has passed, the plum blossoms that have bloomed before New Year’s Eve in previous years, haven’t bloomed this year yet.
Maybe, the coldest day of the year hasn’t come yet.
“You know very well that you can’t hurt the princess and the prince, do you? Since you can’t get rid of your enemy’s children, why are you determined to provoke the war between the two countries and let the people all over the world pay their lives for this ridiculous war? It’s worth it?”
Song Lang closed his eyes, concealed the pain in his eyes, gritted his teeth before saying: “Then, didn’t the four hundred people in my Song family have died in vain?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “Everything in this world has a cause and effect. Their deaths were not caused by you. You are just one of the victims. Revenge is your choice, and I am not opposed to it. On the other hand, if I were you, I will also take revenge. I will not let the person who killed my relatives live freely. Even if he lives, I will make him live in pain.”
“But Young Master Song, there is no hatred without cause. If you want to take revenge, go ahead, but you can’t use the lives of innocent people to pave the way. What does it have to do with them? If you do it like this, then aren’t you more heartless than the people who killed your Song family?”
“Since you can let go of Princess Qian Fang and Prince Qian Hua, why can’t you let go of those innocent strangers you haven’t even met?”
Who knows when Old Yuan Lao walked behind Song Lang and Bai Zhi, but he kept staring at Bai Zhi’s slender back with full of emotion.
This girl, she said well the words he had always wanted to say, but couldn’t say.
A person’s life can be long or short, but whether it is long or short, one should not only live in hatred.
He hoped that their young master could smile again, let go of the hatred in his heart, and live a normal life.
Those who do evil will face their own karma.
Song Lang has never been an old-fashioned person, let alone a cold and vicious person. For the past year, he has been living with a mask, forcing himself to live in endless pain and hatred, trying to make himself cold-blooded and cruel. He tried and did it, but he didn’t succeed.
Bai Zhi’s words were like a key, opening the door that he closed tightly in his heart. Bright sunlight shone towards the mist inside the door. The sunlight outside the door penetrated, dispelling the mist that covered his heart.
The road ahead seemed to have a clear outline in an instant.
Song Lang, who never knew what he should do in the future, suddenly had a direction.
He turned around and looked at Bai Zhi who was standing in front of him, then said with a brilliant smile: “Okay.”
Bai Zhi was taken aback for a moment: “Okay? What’s okay?” She didn’t react for a while.
Song Lang chuckles: “Naturally, about what you say.”
“You mean, you are willing to leave behind Princess Qian Fang and Prince Qian Hua?” She asked again because she couldn’t believe what she heard.
She persuaded him out of morality among friends, but she didn’t expect him to really listen. She just did what she thought she should do, but didn’t intend to force it.
Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily? This was unexpected.
Seeing Bai Zhi was confused, the smile on Song Lang’s face became brighter and brighter: “What? I agree, so you can’t believe it? In your eyes, am I really that kind of stubborn and heinous person?”
