Chapter 91 Yan is back home
"It's nothing, actually. I just wanted to see if you were still alive." Dukao spread his hands and shrugged. "If you're not dead, it's worth celebrating. If you're dead, everyone will be happy."
Ling Yuan's face darkened. He guessed that Dukao, the old man, had nothing good to say. The two had met a few times, and every time, at least one of them left with a gloomy face. Dukao had been humiliated in the previous few times. This time it was Ling Yuan's turn. It was impossible for Dukao to be unhappy.
"That's a good point. Don't say it next time..." Ling Yuan waved his hand, as if to drive him away. "If you come to me for this, you'd better take Ge Xiaolun and get off the ground!"
"Ahem! Seriously, you've been making a lot of big moves recently, and the attitude of the top leaders of Blue Star China toward you is not very friendly." Dukao waved his hand, indicating that he was no longer joking, and then his expression became serious.
"What do you mean?" Seeing that Dukao finally adjusted his attitude, Ling Yuan also became serious.
Dukao shook his head and looked at Ling Yuan with complicated eyes. When a person has great strength, he will be called a talented general, even if he has ulterior motives; when a person has both great strength and a resounding reputation, he will be called a traitor, even if he is loyal.
"At least half of the top brass say that you are too murderous. Such a powerful but dangerous person should be expelled from China." Dukao sighed and handed Ling Yuan a cigarette. His tone was full of gloom. "Some are more radical and suggest that you and the angels be expelled from China together. Some people have already agreed."
"Haha! I guess you should be one of those people who agree that I should be expelled from China?" Ling Yuan didn't care at all and said to Dukao with a smile.
This time, Dukao rarely quarreled with Ling Yuan. Instead, he took a deep puff of cigarette and slowly blew out a big smoke ring.
"How can I have that right?" Dukao's eyes were filled with loneliness and sadness. "Everyone says that I am an alien life form. My words don't count in the Heroes Company. If I hadn't been able to train these super soldiers, I wouldn't have my current position."
"Forget it! You've lived for so long, don't you understand human nature?" Ling Yuan put away his smile, "When a person is still useful, they will worship him. When he loses his value, they will judge him on all kinds of false charges. Some people think that the enemy will give up the fat piece of Blue Star under my deterrence, and they can sit back and relax, and then eat the dog after the rabbit dies.
"But they have all forgotten who gave them the peaceful life they are living today."
"Okay, stop complaining..." Dukao raised his hand to interrupt Ling Yuan, "Just be more restrained during this period of time. Only when they have experienced many things will they understand how precious peace is."
"It's not easy. It's amazing to hear the word peace from a warmonger like you." Ling Yuan took a deep puff of cigarette, his eyes deep. "I never fought for Blue Star from the beginning to the end, including the battle in Tianhe City. I was actually announcing the return of [End]. Who can't say polite words? Also, Ge Xiaolun's transformation has been completely completed, and I will leave this world in a while."
"Are you leaving?" Dukao frowned and looked at Ling Yuan, his tone full of disbelief.
"Well! The mission in this world is over, but my journey has to continue, so... we'll see each other again if we're lucky!"
Ling Yuan patted Dukao on the shoulder, his tone full of emotion. Who could have thought that when he was about to leave this universe, the person who could truly understand him and chat with him so happily was Dukao, whom he disliked in the beginning.
"Okay... But don't forget your original intention as you move forward!"
Dukao looked at Ling Yuan deeply, raised his hand and patted Ling Yuan on the shoulder, and sighed. After that, Dukao took Ge Xiaolun, who had packed up his things, and left Ling Yuan's villa.
Ling Yuan watched Dukao's departing back from afar. At this moment, he actually felt a little lonely. The most terrible loneliness is not when the people around you gradually leave, nor when you look at the stars alone in the middle of the night and think alone, but when in the end the only person who understands you is your mortal enemy.
When Dukao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget your original intention," Ling Yuan felt bitter. Dukao obviously didn't understand what he was carrying, but he still said the same thing in the end. Ling Yuan felt indescribable sadness.
But on the road ahead, don't forget your original intention...
“Ling Yuan…”
Liang Bing walked behind Ling Yuan, put her arm around his waist, and hugged him tightly. Liang Bing's voice was full of tenderness, and her tone, like a spoiled child, awakened Ling Yuan from his deep thoughts. Ling Yuan turned around, and Liang Bing leaned against his back. Kaisha and Hexi leaned against the door, looking at him with a smile.
At this moment, all the negative emotions in Ling Yuan's heart disappeared. At least, he still had them willing to accompany him through the ups and downs of the journey.
"Let's go! Let's... go home!"
Ling Yuan held Liang Bing's butt and picked her up like a child, then walked towards Keisha and Hexi who were waiting at the door with a smile.
The day passed in the blink of an eye. On the morning of the next day, which was the time Yan said he would be back, Ling Yuan got up early and sat in the living room waiting for Yan to come home.
Speaking of Yan, Ling Yuan felt no less guilty towards Yan than towards Liang Bing. Originally, he was the one who teased Yan first, but in the end, he kept neglecting Yan because of the women who kept appearing around him.
In the end, Kesha went offline, Yan returned to Melo Heaven to take charge of the situation, and Ling Yuan was running around. Ling Yuan could only learn about Yan's recent situation through the few words from He Xi who came back from time to time. When Yan was in the most difficult time, Ling Yuan was not by Yan's side. Ling Yuan felt that he was really a failure.
Yan is very sensible. He has never competed with Rita and others for Ling Yuan's embrace, nor has he ever asked Ling Yuan for anything. When the angels were in the most difficult time, he chose to take on everything alone.
However, Yan's understanding made Ling Yuan feel distressed.
Just as Ling Yuan was waiting in the living room, the door opened and Yan walked into the villa with Ling Xi. The moment he saw Yan, Ling Yuan immediately stood up and greeted him. The moment Yan saw Ling Yuan, his eyes lit up and he immediately threw himself into Ling Yuan's arms, wrapped his arms around Ling Yuan's neck, and hung on Ling Yuan's body.
When Lingxi saw this scene, she couldn't help but curl her lips. She turned around and went upstairs to find Kesha, leaving the space downstairs to the couple.
Although Yan came back with Lingxi, Lingxi never told Yan that Kesha was still there, because she had promised Lingyuan and Kesha not to reveal the news that Kesha was still there to anyone.
Lingxi recalled the "last words" left by Hexi when he died, and couldn't help but smile. She was almost certain that although Hexi was offline, he was definitely alive. Because during the battle with Huaye, Lingyuan stayed by Hexi's side, and the result of the battle was that Hexi died and Huaye fell. Lingxi would never believe that Hexi was dead.
Lingxi really wanted to see how wonderful the expression on Yan's face would be when he saw that Queen Kesha and Tianji King Hexi were still alive.
