279 I Can See the Ending (1/2)
Don’t be afraid, sister Aya, this professional adventurer is here to save you!
After hearing the story of Aya from his Master, Wang Lu made up his mind.
Of course, it was useless to have determination alone on this matter. Aya’s past bitter experience was not a secret to the top level group in Spirit Sword Mountain; besides Wang Wu, other Elders were also fundamentally aware of the inside story. Many were sympathetic to her, but no one had the ability to genuinely solve this difficult problem. Among them, there were Sect Leader Daoist Master Feng Yin who has an unparalleled divine ability, and also Wang Lu’s Master who in all aspects was above her disciple.
Although his Master did not say it, with Wang Lu’s understanding of her, if she really has a way, she would not just sit idly by—even if she blackmailed someone to ask for an exorbitantly high price and so on, she would not be completely indifferent. And since his Master didn’t do anything, it meant that she was powerless. Similarly, Sect Leader and the other Elders didn’t need to be mentioned.
So many people were powerless, what could Wang Lu possibly do?
Theoretically, this was a problem that was almost impossible to solve; at least it was equivalent to a Deity Stage level problem. For a mere Xudan Stage Wang Lu, the gap was simply a world’s apart. Technically, there was absolutely no room for leeway, but the matter was not entirely hopeless. Although seemingly whimsical, after listening to Aya’s origin, a flash of insight passed through his mind, which although faint, lit up the darkness.
Wang Lu was not a person that was absurdly blinded by self-confidence, no matter what he thought of his ideas or determination. In practice, he has always been extremely careful. After all, Aya’s situation was extraordinary. Currently, her life on this mountain was maintained at a delicate balance, but if Wang Lu recklessly acted, for example by arbitrarily bringing Aya down the mountain, once her soul flies away and scatters, that was a hundred live’s unredeemable act.
Therefore, before he really made his move, Wang Lu carefully considered all the factors once again, and then he carefully pondered about it in his bedroom, not going out for three full consecutive days.
After the third day, Wang Lu put a big pile of manuscript papers and then pushed the door with a smile full of confidence.
”Aya, I’m here again.”
With a relaxed greeting, Wang Lu once again opened the Misty Peak cafeteria door. Seeing Wang Lu come in with a full of sincerity smile, Aya who has accustomed to seeing the winds and waves of life felt somewhat powerless.
”You? Not again.”
Aya has mixed emotions for this young man who often spout out unconventional conversations. On one hand, Wang Lu has been continuously pestering her which has already gone beyond her endurance, however, after more than ten years of getting along, how could she not see his intention to help her? Although his way of doing it was difficult to accept, but… she had to endure this for some time more before he grew tired and give up, and then she could resume her peaceful life.
”Humph, this time, I come with a conviction of victory.”
Upon hearing this, Aya could not help but feel a headache. Conviction of victory? I’m afraid it’s more like a falling moral integrity… The natural disposition of this kid Wang Lu is indeed not bad, but his crooked way of doing things are too many, which overwhelms people. His previous consecutive pestering has already made me physically and mentally exhausted. Now he says he has a conviction of victory? What kind of sorcery is this?
Suddenly, Aya felt as powerless as a long time ago, on top of that bleak sword mound, when she faced the scene of being deserted by friends and allies.
However, a moment later, Aya was surprised to find that this time, Wang Lu was different. No longer he has that frivolity in the past, instead, now he was extremely serious.
”Aya, this time, I come with a conviction of victory.”
The same words, yet the center of gravity actually fell on the word victory. Aya was startled. ”You knew?”
”Knowing oneself and others, one hundred battles one hundred victories, of course I should know about this.”
This was somewhat unexpected for Aya, after all, although her soul of the brave departed body was not a taboo, it was something that she could not conveniently preach about… However, if it was Wang Lu...
”Now that you know about it, you can go back now.”
Once again, Wang Lu repeated the same words, ”I come with a conviction of victory.”
”You…” Aya finally understood what Wang Lu wanted to say, thus she fell into silence, waiting for him to continue. Because Wang Lu didn’t seem to be joking, moreover, if he did joke about it, she would be very disappointed with him.
”I have in me the way to win every war.”
”Ha!” Aya unconsciously exclaimed. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She has come to the Nine Regions for so many years, and almost all of the people she met said otherwise: There is no way to win every war in this world. No one dared to boldly proclaim what Wang Lu just said. Certainly, she has heard similar words for several times, but all of those came from swindlers who harbored ulterior motives.
Aya didn’t think Wang Lu was trying to scheme her or something like that, but after all, wasn’t she previously a monarch with magnificent armies? Yet the present Wang Lu has nothing. Did he say that just to comfort her?
Haha, unfortunately, I don’t like other people’s sympathy or compassion, because it’s completely unnecessary.
”No, I’m not playing a caring older sister game here. I really do have the way to win every war.” Wang Lu repeated his own point of view, and then, with a smile, he looked at the increasingly serious Aya.
