Chapter 1712 – Sorrow of Parting (4)
Fighting for fun, talking and laughing, erasing their sorrows through drinking.
The four Phantom friends firmly grasped the last moments before they separated for a long time, and enjoyed them
to the fullest.
“Little Xiao, we’re going to go our separate ways for three years. Three years later, let’s get together like this again,
and then I’ll beat this idiot Qi Xia in front of you.” The slightly drunk Tang Nazhi staggered to his feet and made
bold remarks about beating someone.
Qi Xia looked at Tang Nazhi with a laugh. His white face was slightly red. That night, nobody held back, they drank
and ate meat unrestrainedly.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the two empty spaces beside her, which belonged to Yan Yu and Li Xiaowei. Even though
they were far away in another continent, they still kept their seats for them. The top of the table in front of the two
seats was filled with food and wine, as if the two had not left.
She faintly recalled the time they had a drink and chatted merrily like this when Tang Nazhi was expelled from the
Holy Roland School.
At that time, Li Xiaowei had not yet joined the Phantom and the five of them were sitting in the lounge of the
casino, drinking one cup after another.
This time, they had to temporarily part ways in order to fight the Devil Race. Three years later, they would gather
again and compose a hymn belonging to the Phantom.
Shen Yanxiao rose suddenly and held her glass high.
“When I was still an obscure and unknown little kid, you appeared before me. Over the years, you have
accompanied me through such a long journey. Every one of you is not less talented than me. If you had been on
your own, you could create more brilliant achievements with your own strength. But you chose to accompany me,
to help me create the Barren Land, to help me defeat wave after wave of enemies; the words “thank you” have been
unable to express my gratitude to you, so I’ll just say…”
“From now on, you and I, in life and death will trust one another, in good or bad luck will help one another, in
happiness or misfortune will depend on one another, and in any adversity will support one another.” At the end of
the sentence, Shen Yanxiao downed all the wine in one gulp.
Qi Xia, Tang Nazhi, and Yang Xi got up at the same time, held their wine glasses, looked at Shen Yanxiao and said
in chorus:
“You and I, in life and death will trust one another, in good or bad luck will help one another, in happiness or
misfortune will depend on one another, and in any adversity will support one another!”
That night, four people were doomed to sleeplessness, cup after cup of wine in the afternoon, and a sentence to
show their total devotion to one another.
This would be the last time that they would be together in three years.
The day after tomorrow, Shen Yanxiao and Yang Xi would leave.
In the early morning, the four people were already drunk. Tang Nazhi fell flat on the table, seemingly asleep.
But his shoulders trembled slightly.
“Nazhi, we’ll be back soon.” Qi Xia put his hand on Tang Nazhi’s shoulder and whispered.
“I know…” Tang Nazhi slowly opened his mouth with a choking voice.
Among the Phantom, Tang Nazhi was the most straightforward, and his reaction to their parting was the most
direct.
His heart was full of sadness. Over these years, the six of them fought the world together, and played around
together all day. Yan Yu and Li Xiaowei’s departure had already made his heart very depressed, and now, Shen
Yanxiao and Yang Xi were also about to leave, while Qi Xia would also leave soon.
“But I just feel really bad.” Tang Nazhi’s suppressed voice was full of tremors.
Shen Yanxiao and Yang Xi got up and walked over to Tang Nazhi.
Four little friends huddled together.
“Three years, it’s just three years. Three years later, regardless of how much we improve, we will definitely come
back.” Shen Yanxiao leaned her head against Tang Nazhi’s head, promising in a low voice.
