Chapter 187: Loneliness Is Beautiful Too
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
The voice reverberated in the wooden hut. It wasn’t very heavy but the three people present here were all sharp and could of course hear it.
Tian Guangming didn’t feel anything and just looked on silently.
Duanmu Yue had a confused look on his face as he didn’t know what it was.
The only one listening on happily was the old ancestor.
He wasn’t nervous seeing that Tian Guangming had arrived and wasn’t afraid either. He didn’t show any anger and only treated Tian Guangming really calmly.
“I have not heard such a voice in such a long time.” After the old ancestor heard that sound for a full minute, he spoke with a lot of emotion.
Tian Guangming frowned and walked over slowly. Seeing that old ancestor didn’t say a word, he didn’t dare to stop him and could only look at him silently.
“You know that I am the envoy, so you should know why I am here!” Tian Guangming said solemnly.
The old ancestor nodded. “Please sit down. We will do what you want, so you don’t have to worry.”
Tian Guangming looked at the old ancestor in shock and then sat down.
The old man laid on the rocking chair while Tian Guangming sat on a chair. Only Duanmu Yue was standing.
“Tell him to head out.” Tian Guangming pointed at Duanmu Yue.
Duanmu Yue looked at the old ancestor right away and he didn’t want to do so.
“Let him take a look. He is the next family head of my Duanmu Family and definitely won’t say a thing.” The old ancestor asked.
Seeing that he was so cooperative, Tian Guangming stared at the old ancestor and said in shock, “Why are you dying so soon?”
Tian Guangming still needed to collect interest!
But now that the old ancestor only had a few days to live, how could he collect any interest?
The old ancestor apologized, “I am unable to pay the compensation fee on the contract.”
Tian Guangming’s face became really ugly as he pointed at the Soul Raising Tree. “You didn’t injure the tree, right?”
If he did, then Tian Guangming would definitely be angry.
“No, I have been taking good care of it.” The old ancestor waved.
Tian Guangming’s expression improved and then he took out the contract. “Take a look. If you have no questions, then I will do what I have to do.”
Duanmu Yue’s face changed and he questioned, “What are you going to do?”
“Of course, I have to take the Soul Raising Tree away.” Tian Guangming said without any hesitation.
“If you take away the Soul Raising Tree, then what about old ancestor?” Duanmu Yue didn’t agree.
“Your ancestor will definitely die within three days. He is lucky that I didn’t take away three days of time from him.”
Duanmu Yue was shocked. He knew that the old ancestor’s life was coming to an end, but he didn’t expect it to be so quick.
He would definitely die in three days!
The old ancestor waved his hands calmly. “It is natural that one will grow old and die, so what is the point in being sad?”
Duanmu Yue really couldn’t take it as this was the person he was closest to.
“Envoy, I don’t care if I die but let me ask, what about Taizhong?” The old ancestor asked Tian Guangming solemnly.
“Who is Taizhong?” Tian Guangming didn’t know what was going on.
“He was the founder of Feather Transformation God Dynasty, Emperor Taizhong. He also borrowed a treasure from you to extend your life.” The old ancestor explained.
“You don’t have to worry about him. Someone will claim the debts from him. His contract is heavier than yours and the person collecting his is much stronger than me. Don’t worry, the two of you will definitely die together.” Tian Guangming said.
The old ancestor heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “The reason why I have been persisting is because he is not dead. Since he is not dead, then I can’t die either.”
“This is good. Both of us are about to die.” The old ancestor smiled.
This was a delightful smile because he had won.
The old ancestor told Taizhong that he wouldn’t be able to wipe out the Duanmu Family as long he was still alive unless he was willing to let the entire Feather Transformation God Dynasty die together with them.
Taizhong’s reply was that he would definitely wipe out the Duanmu Family while he was still alive.
The two of them continued to compete about who lived the longest and now both of them were already at their limits.
Tian Guangming looked at him and muttered, “You are crazy!”
The two of them were insane. They entered the Bank of the Universe.
In exchange for life-extending items, they would compete to see who would live the longest.
They totally ignored everyone else and just stared at one another to see who would die first.
Their stubbornness couldn’t be resolved.
Tian Guangming stood up. “I am taking away this Soul Raising Tree, and you will be left with three days of lifespan. I won’t take it away and since you are so cooperative, I will give you time to say your goodbyes to your family members.”
After he said this, Tian Guangming walked outside.
Duanmu Yue wanted to block but the old ancestor stopped him.
“Remember that if you meet someone with that watch, avoid him and be nice.” The old ancestor stared at Duanmu Yue.
“Understood.” Duanmu Yue had never seen the old ancestor like that, so how could he not remember it?
He didn’t stop Tian Guangming from digging away the Soul Raising Tree.
Tian Guangming walked to the entrance and smiled. “Let me tell you some news. The person who went to claim debts from your rival has a really bad temper. He is a devil in human’s clothing and he’s really cruel. Try to hold on and maybe you will learn of his death.”
The old ancestor’s eyes lit up and he said gratefully, “Thank you. No matter what, I have to hold on.”
Tian Guangming walked out of the wooden hut and headed in front of the Soul Raising Tree. He looked at the Soul Raising Tree and clapped his hands, “Let’s go home!”
The Soul Raising Tree had a spirit and knew that he had to go back home. But he looked at the old man he had spent 10,000 years with and was really reluctant. A black energy entered the old man’s body.
“He only has three days left. You can’t add to his lifespan at all.” Tian Guangming said.
In the wooden hut, after obtaining the final bit of nourishment from the tree, the old man stumbled to his feet. He bowed to thank it for his many years of help.
The Soul Raising Tree also knew that this was a true goodbye.
It was not a normal separation!
But eternal goodbye!
This was why it bent its body too. From one hut apart, these two friends who had spent 10,000 years with one another said goodbye to each other.
Tian Guangming seemed to be infected and sighed, “Let’s go. Make yourself small and enter my storage treasure.”
Maybe because he was affected by the Goddess of Light divinity, the decisive and violent Tian Guangming had become much softer.
“Let’s go and return to where you came from. Thank you for your 10,000 years of help.” The old ancestor waved his hands and his eyes swelled up.
Over these years, the people felt that he was really lonely and the Duanmu Family members felt that he had problems and didn’t like to speak.
But who knew that his best friend was by his side? The two of them spoke to one another consciously.
To other people, they were lonely.
But to them, they were just quiet.
Their so-called loneliness was actually a type of beauty!
