920 God Gets Sick Part Ⅲ (2/2)
Sangsang said, ”I just no longer do.”
Ning Que asked, ”Because you are too tired?”
Sangsang glanced at him and answered, ”Your jokes often don't have any logic.”
Ning Que asked, ”Then what's the reason?”
Sangsang asked, ”Why should I love the world?”
Ning Que thought for a while and found that this was indeed a good question.
In any world, constantly questioning would complicate the problems. Human beings have always been obsessed with love, but it doesn't necessarily mean that humans would be rewarded by asking for it ceaselessly.
Indeed, why do you have to love? Why do mothers love their children? Why do women love their men? Why do people love their country?
Even though the love you bestowed was indeed unconditional, you may only get a cold response which might make you breathless.
Ning Que didn't know how to answer this question. Just like how he couldn't explain to Sangsang what romance was back in the Great River Kingdom, he couldn't explain to her what love was either at this point.
Just then, a sacred sedan was coming slowly from the end of the street in the spring rain. The sheer curtain around the sacred sedan was dark red, and seemed to be bleeding after being wet by the rain.
The Sacred Sedan of Judgment appeared in the human world again.
Ning Que was not surprised, for he had guessed that who the principal of the Divine Hall was back in the South Sea. Besides, the bloody purge of the past day and night affirmed his judgment.
Only a few people in the Divine Hall had the ability to make such an important decision and implement it in such a short period of time, and she was the most possible one since she commanded the cavalry.
”I don't want to see these people.” Sangsang sounded a little tired and turned away from the window.
…
…
”Everyone in the three prefectures of the Qi Kingdom who dared to disrespect the Light are now dead.” Ye Hongyu said, ”The official decree of the Divine Hall should be sent to the kingdoms very soon, and the Divine Hall of Judgement has taken action in advance. I believe the purge won't last long.”
Looking at her, Ning Que frowned slightly and thought that the whole matter was not so simple.
Taking off her sacred crown, Ye Hongyu stared at him and said, ”I want to see Haotian.”
The scene at this moment resembled an autumn day a few years ago.
Ning Que reached out to take the sacred crown in her hand like last time.
However, Ye Hongyu didn't let him.
Ning Que was surprised. ”Why are you so distant from me? I remember…”
Ye Hongyu interrupted him, ”Stop your smooth tongue. Unlike Mo Shanshan, I have no intention to fight against Haotian over a man.”
Ning Que clicked his tongue, ”Now you are the one who had a smooth tongue.”
Ye Hongyu brushed away the raindrops in her black hair and said, ”Cut the crap. Just lead the way.”
Ning Que was displeased. ”You know I am Haotian's husband. Show me some respect.”
Ye Hongyu threw the sacred crown to the table casually and taunted, ”How could one respect a man who sponged off his wife?”
Ning Que was angry. ”I dare you to say that again!”
Ye Hongyu tightened her damp hair and said, ”You are indeed a man who sponged his wife.”
Ning Que suddenly understood how Chen Pipi felt back then.
He was irritated and argued, ”It's not easy to sponge Haotian.”
Ye Hongyu responded, ”It's never easy to sponge anyone.”
Ning Que felt embarrassed and changed the subject, ”She doesn't want to see anyone from the Divine Hall.”
Ye Hongyu thought for a while and said, ”It may not be a bad idea. Besides, I don't want to kneel before her.”
Ning Que said, ”It seems that your faith is not as firm as you said before.”
Ye Hongyu went silent for a few moments and suddenly asked, ”Which is more important, faith or revenge?”
Ning Que didn't understand her question, but he remembered his revenge in Chang'an and the killings in Snow Lake. He answered, ”To me, revenge is clearly more important.” He continued, ”But of course it's because I never had any faith.” He looked at Ye Hongyu and said solemnly, ”As for what you should choose, I can't give you any specific suggestions. I just want you to know that just do whatever that makes you happy.”
Ye Hongyue thought and asked, ”Is that the principle of your intentions?”
Ning Que answered, ”Yes. Instinct and intention are always the most powerful things.”
