Chapter: 693 (1/2)

AST 693 – Every family has their problems

“I don’t know if I am afraid of death, I only know that I must not die.” Qing Shui looked at Hai Dongqing and said dully.

“Indeed, there are so many people who like you. You are the pillar of so many people, unlike me.” Hai Dongqing looked at Qing Shui then stared into the distance.

“Do you have any difficulties? Would you mind telling me? Maybe I would be able to help you.” Qing Shui smiled gently. He had always felt that Hai Dongqing had her difficulties or was somewhat unhappy.

“Qing Shui, do you think that a person should live for themselves or for others?” Hai Dongqing didn’t answer Qing Shui’s question but replied with another question instead.

“For others?” Qing Shui didn’t know what was she trying to say.

“For instance, sacrificing yourself for the clan, do you think that it is worth it? Should it be done?” Hai Dongqing hesitated for a while before she smiled and said calmly.

Qing Shui was able to sense something from these words. Although he might not be spot on, but he shouldn’t be far off. He gently said, “It doesn’t matter whether it was worth it or not, as long as you are willing to do it, then it is worth it. If you aren’t willing, then it isn’t worth it. Of course, it all depends on the situation.”

“Indeed, if I am willing, then it is worth it……”

Hai Dongqing mumbled to herself and shook her head, her smile was extremely bitter.

“If it isn’t convenient for you to talk about it, then I shalln’t ask any further. Since you brought me here today, this means that there is some fate between us. If you have any problems in future, you must look for me. Maybe I can help you. After all, it is just the effort of a few words. So, remember to look for me in the future if you are in trouble, even if I can’t help you, you won’t lose anything.

“Thank you. I know, I’m glad to have a friend like you.” Hai Dongqing smiled happily.

The Immortal Fox Valley was just too big. Qing Shui learned from Hai Dongqing that the Immortal Foxes would normally appear in the heart of Immortal Fox Valley. Although this place was known as Immortal Fox Valley, that didn’t mean that there were no other demonic beasts.

It was fortunate that the few times they ran into demonic beast, they weren’t in a group. Since Qing Shui’s abilities were pretty good, most of the normal demonic beast were frightened off by the combination of Qing Shui’s and the Fire Bird’s strong aurae.

However, they did run into a few imprudent large demonic beasts, including the Silver Horn Monitor Lizard. This demonic beast had roughly the abilities of 5000 countries, they even encountered three at a time.

However, Qing Shui’s abilities were no longer at the same level as before. After weakening them and using the Fire Bird’s Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens, the three strong demonic beasts were killed instantly.

This caused Hai Dongqing to be shocked. Although she knew that Qing Shui had strong abilities, she hadn’t expected expect him to be this overwhelming. Furthermore, she knew that he hadn’t displayed him Qing Shui’s strongest abilities yet.

When she discovered all of this, her expression changed. Only when Qing Shui stood in front of her did her appearance changed back but there was a trace of hesitation on her face.

“Are you thinking of saying that you don’t trust me or that you are worried that I am not able to do it? My greatest weakness is that I value friendship a lot. You are already my friend and you will forever be, unless you don’t see me as a friend.” Qing Shui said gently, looking at this absolute beauty that was undergoing an internal struggle.

“Do you truly wish to help me?” Hai Dongqing hesitated before slowly saying.

“I truly wish to!”

“Then let’s take a break there and I’ll tell you. You can just treat it as a story.” Hai Dongqing pointed to a smooth rock not far away.

They walked over together. The sunless Immortal Fox Valley caused one to get an eerie feeling.

Qing Shui casually took out a large, thick and soft Beast Skin from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and placed it on the smooth stone. It would be more comfortable for them this way.

When she saw Qing Shui do this, Hai Dongqing revealed a faint smile.

She felt that everything that was happening now was very dramatic. Life could be very strange at times.

“The Hai Clan was a big clan of the Cold Ice City and it still is now. However, it is now incomparable to its past glories, especially in the recent decades. In the past, when the Hai Clan was flourishing, it was inevitable that they would offend some people and clans, even if it was unintentional. However, a previously insignificant clan has now grown larger, even larger than the Hai Clan. This clan is narrow-minded and they now have their eyes set on the Hai Clan.”

Hai Dongqing didn’t mention the details and only spoke of the key points. At least she told him about her problems and finally let him know what was going on.

“The Hai Clan used to be popular in Cold Ice City, is no one willing to help?” Qing Shui asked gently.

“When one is successful, everyone around them are friends. Even if they don’t say anything, there will be people willing to help. No matter how small the problem is, people would offer their assistance. However, in the end, these were just flowery words. Because when you are truly successful, you don’t need their help. However, once you are in trouble and truly need help, these good friends would turn into apathetic passersby. They might even come to get a share of the actions.” Hai Dongqing said bitterly.

Qing Shui understood this reasoning. Although he hadn’t experienced it in his past life, he had heard a lot about it. In this life, he had experienced this to a certain degree, like the incident with the Jin Clan.
