831 I Can Help You
“What are you laughing at!”
Ming Yue frowned. She couldn’t understand Ye Qiu’s thoughts.
Although such a favor from the veteran was very heavy, the karma was huge. She couldn’t figure it out. With Ye Qiu’s personality, he shouldn’t be so excited because although this Netherworld Fruit was very precious, he had never been a snob. Otherwise, he would not have frequently given her rare treasures.
He had always been a very open-minded person. This was also what Ming Yue admired about him the most. After so many years of hardship, she thought that she was already familiar with Ye Qiu.
However, Ye Qiu’s laughter today made her unable to see through him.
Ye Qiu didn’t answer her question. Instead, he looked at the fruit in his hand and continued to maintain his calm smile.
The veteran was puzzled. “Why are you laughing?”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu stopped smiling and said, “Senior, although I, Ye Qiu, am not an indomitable big shot, I still have basic principles. We are fated to meet here today. Regardless of whether it is destined by the heavens or not, it is fate between us. I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. Before this, I was very worried about you. However, ever since you gave me this Netherworld Fruit before we left, I admit that all my previous thoughts were very dirty.”
At this point, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but blame himself.
Yes! The veteran gave his only hope to Ye Qiu and put down his obsession. Without the Netherworld Fruit, it would not be long before he was completely buried in the yellow sand. He put down the obsession in his heart and his last wish to see Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu to fulfill Ye Qiu’s wish.
This gift was very heavy!
“However, from this moment onwards, my impression of you has changed greatly. You’re a senior worthy of my respect. Your honesty makes me lower my guard.”
After saying that, Ye Qiu bowed to the veteran from the bottom of his heart.
This was a bow with guilt. Be it his guilt or Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu’s guilt, Ye Qiu had to bow. This was because after so many years, he had never forgotten his faith when he followed Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu.
Ye Qiu didn’t know about all the experiences during this period of time, but he could be sure that his master had let down this group of men who had fought for him their entire lives.
This bow represented Ye Qiu and Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu.
The veteran’s eyes stung as he looked at the sincere Ye Qiu in front of him. At this moment, he really treated Ye Qiu as the junior he looked forward to the most. He couldn’t help but say, “Haha, good, good, good.”
He said three times in a row. He acknowledged Ye Qiu incomparably.
From his character and various outstanding performances, it was enough to prove that he was worthy of his expectations.
Ming Yue might not understand the trust between men, but she could feel the true feelings between these two people.
“Child, I’m really happy to hear you say that. At least these few words of yours have made me understand one thing. Master… he really didn’t choose the wrong person. I am filled with endless expectations for your future. Although… I can’t wait for that day anymore, I believe that you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself. Child, advance with ideals that we have never achieved.”
After saying these last few words, the veteran closed his eyes with an incomparably heavy heart. If the heavens had given him a little more time, he might have been able to see that day arrive.
However, he also understood that their era had ended. In this world, there was no longer a group of hot-blooded youths who had fought against the darkness for their entire lives.
The veteran’s expression was incomparably lonely. He knew that this Netherworld Fruit was the only gift he could give Ye Qiu. Only this gift could express his feelings.
Although many people had come to search for treasures all these years and he had obtained many treasures, those treasures were nothing to Ye Qiu.
Only this Netherworld Fruit could truly help him.
The veteran let it go.
However, Ye Qiu didn’t let it go. He could see the loneliness in the veteran’s eyes. This was also what he was about to do. He put down the guard in his heart. At this moment, he only treated the veteran in front of him as his most respected elder.
He said, “Senior, I will continue forward with your unrealized ideals. However, this is a path of no return. You know better than me the pain of this path. I can’t achieve this dream alone, so I hope you can help me.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the veteran fell silent. His eyes were slightly dim. He had not left this place for countless years. He knew even better that he didn’t have much time left, so he couldn’t give Ye Qiu any greater help.
Therefore, he was very disappointed. He knew better than Ye Qiu how difficult it was to step onto this path. He really wanted to help this young man in front of him, but he was a little powerless. He refused helplessly, “Child, I… am already a person on the verge of death. I don’t even have a complete body.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait for that day. If you need me, I can follow you. At the very least, I can protect you before I die. As for the rest, I don’t have time to wait.”
After saying that, his eyes became even more lonely.
“No!” At this moment, Ye Qiu’s voice sounded again. It was like a ray of light in the darkness, pulling the veteran back. Ye Qiu said, “Senior, you will see that day. Believe me… I can help you.
“I, Ye Qiu, have very simple principles. I return the courtesy of others. I return the kindness of others. You gave me the Netherworld Fruit. Such a favor has already exceeded the kindness of an elder. If I, Ye Qiu, don’t do anything, how can I live in this world?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the veteran’s eyes trembled slightly. He was clearly shocked.
What did Ye Qiu mean? Could it be that he had the ability to save him from the darkness and see the light again?
This was almost impossible. His broken body had long been lost in the uninhabited region, leaving only a skull. He was buried behind this yellow-eyed Gobi and relied on his obsession to last for year after year.
It was because of the special laws on the other side of the Netherworld that he could barely support himself with the Netherworld Fruit Tree. Once he left this world,
his power would drain at an extremely fast speed, speeding up his death and completely annihilating him.
Otherwise, he would have left millions of years ago.
Without a complete body, he could not last long.
Ye Qiu saw his confusion and smiled. He said with an extremely confident smile, “Senior, you might not know how terrifying this path that my master spent tens of millions of years to comprehend is, right?
“Dao of Blood, as the name suggests, every drop of blood flowing in my body is a living being. When it reaches a certain domain, it will undergo a tremendous change.
“Perhaps this is my master’s idea to break the Longevity Calamity. If I can really achieve it one day and refine the blood in my body to that domain, it will be the time when the world changes color.
“I won’t explain the details to you one by one. In short, I can help you reconstruct your life. This is my promise to you. Although I can’t do it now, I can definitely do it in the near future.”
