CHAPTER FIFTEEN.
This year's spiritual season was indeed an eventful one for the Spiritual World. Mu Lengqing's sudden departure caught the Spiritual World off guard. To be exact, it was enough to make Wang Qingchuan and Hun Yun panic. Mu Sangqing did not leave any message nor did she explain anything behind her. She only said a few words to Wang Qingchuan on the tower.
This was indeed shocking, and the news would quickly spread to the Six Realms. As the leader of a Realm, he suddenly revealed himself and did exactly the same thing that Uncle Fang had done back then. At that time, the Six Realms went into an uproar and it lasted for a long time. Right now, Mu Lengqing's actions might have had an even greater impact. This was because the Spiritual World was in a precarious situation. Her resignation at this moment would cause the Spiritual World to be in a passive position in many matters.
Mu Lengqing had long disappeared, but she still didn't want to believe the truth. How could her master abandon the Spirit World? The Spirit World was vast and boundless. It was better to hide in the mortal world.
Now, Mu Lengqing passed the position of the leader to Wang Qingchuan and asked her to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Spiritual World. The clouds in her hair were filled with doubts and helplessness. Although he had always been in love with Wang Qingchuan, hoping to obtain his adoration and favor, it seemed that Wang Qingchuan had never been interested in him. He would rather be together with Shen Jingyang, Yun Jiu Tang, and Ning An, than to be bothered with him. However, these were not what he was worried about. Now that Mu Lengqing had passed the position of leader to Wang Qingchuan and passed it on to a headstrong and delicate person who had just invited the spirit child of the moon, was she competent? As a protector of the Spiritual Capital, he could be said to be often by Mu Xianqing's side. Mu Xianqing didn't even talk to him before she left. Even if she asked him about her thoughts, she didn't get anything out of him.
The white rain of spirit rain once again drifted down, drifting about in the air. It was like the continuous autumn rain in the Qing Qiu Mountains, adding a lot of melancholy and melancholy to the people's hearts. Even after thousands of years, the spiritual rain had not stopped, and this time, even the clouds on her temples felt a chill.
The spirit soldiers under the city gate had all dispersed, leaving only a few close range spirit guards on the city gate tower. Wang Qingchuan also stood there, as if he was shocked by this sudden scene and lost his mind. Her strands of hair were drenched by the spirit rain, falling onto her moist cheeks. Her green face was no longer as pure and beautiful as before, but instead had a bit of tenacity, determination, and decisiveness.
Perhaps, from the looks of it, he didn't want such a heavy burden to be placed on the shoulders of a Spirit Master. Her body was filled with an innocent and pure aura. As the leader of this world, the heavy responsibility she had made her completely lose her temperament and become heartless and cold. All along, he had been admiring Wang Qingchuan's beauty. That was why he had fallen for her.
A few of the spirit guards also retreated, leaving only Wang Qingchuan and the others in the tall tower. Can a weak child like you take on such a heavy responsibility? ” His face was drenched from the spirit rain as he spoke to Qing Chuan.
Wang Qingchuan gazed into the distance, where Mu Sangqing's back had disappeared to. He said coldly, ”Since Master has given me the position of the Spiritual World, you must trust me. I am responsible for the lives of the people in the Spiritual World. I will use my life to protect the ten thousand years of honor in the Spiritual World …”
He looked at the frail spirit child in front of him, the one he liked the most. At this moment, he had the courage to make a decision. For thousands of years, the majority of the Spiritual Realms had been dominated by Spiritual Children. Originally, behind Mu Sangqing, there were many other Spiritual Masters that had more advantages than Wang Qingchuan. In terms of qualifications, it was obvious that she had entered the Spirit River earlier than Wang Qingchuan. Moreover, the Spirit World was currently in a state of turmoil, facing strange and unpredictable situations, and needed an ironclad spirit guardian to take charge of the situation and lead the Spirit World out of its predicament. However, since Mu Xianqing had chosen Wang Qingchuan, there must be a reason for it. What was the point in insisting on this argument? It would merely increase his worries and increase the distance between Wang Qingchuan and him.
High up on the city gate tower, the side of his head was touched by the mottled city gate stone, his hands suddenly felt a cold and desolate feeling seeping into his skin. His heart was in a mess, and he didn't know how to persuade Qing Chuan.
”Yunqian, no matter what happened between us in the past, I always hoped that from today onwards, we will focus on each other. For us, there is no time to care about the past anymore. The situation in the Spiritual World is precarious!” Yes, Wang Qingchuan really wanted to tell him the current location of the Spiritual Realm and the situation of the Six Realms, so that he could get to know them better as soon as possible.
The cloud in his temples turned cold as he said, ”You are the leader now, you have the final say …” Right now, he had a rebellious mindset. He suddenly felt that he cared so much about the position of the World's Head. He felt a heavy sense of loss in his heart. Yes, although he did not insist on obtaining the position of world leader, this position was still very close to his own. If he were to fight for it with all his might, it was not out of the question. But...
Wang Qingchuan heard the bitterness in his words and thought to himself, ”This is normal. Who hasn't yearned for the seat of power? But this is also the time.” ”I know, I know,” Wang Qingchuan paused, and forced a smile, ”You are very unsatisfied with Master's decision this time, and this time it was indeed unexpected, but I think Master must have thought of something since he did this, let us put down our grudges and protect the spirit world together, okay?” Wang Qingchuan's words were full of pleading. She really wished that she could sincerely unite with her and protect the Spiritual Realm that Mu Lengqing had given to them.
”Qing Chuan, I've already cooperated,” there was a hint of impatience in his tone, but his tone was not very friendly, ”What more do you want from me, I'll do as you say in the future, don't worry, I won't give you any trouble, and I won't drag down any of my matters.” He turned his face to the side, no longer looking at Qing Chuan, ”Yes, Qing Chuan, to tell you the truth, I really want this position, and I'm very dissatisfied with your position as the successor. Since you are the world leader, no matter how unhappy I am, I will not show it in front of you, and even more so, I will not abandon my responsibilities. My dissatisfaction with you can be put to one side for now, but first of all, I am the only spiritual capital guard of the Spiritual World, and just based on this, I have the responsibility to protect the Spiritual World! ”
In fact, it was either Ling Yu or tears, ”Qing Chuan, I want to tell you, I like you. Until now, I still have a crush on you, but no matter what you do or what position you are in, whether or not you have someone you love, I will always like you. I'm not going to disturb your life like I used to. It's my own business and it has nothing to do with anyone else, that's all. ”
At last, he finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and said what he had been holding in in in his heart. He immediately felt a lot more at ease. He did not look at Qing Chuan's face, but instead gazed at the distant world of white rain, as if he wanted to obtain a moment of peace and comfort from it.
