It took Sang Mei a long time to recover from this devastating news.
"You are his blood." Ranran's voice was like a sharp blade, cutting through the last bit of fantasy in Sang Mei's heart.
Ran Ran added: "As far as I know, Wu Ning has no children."
"He must have spent a lot of effort to find the bloodline of his fellow tribesmen in modern society, that is, your parents."
"He found your parents and brought you into this world in order to continue his bloodline and make you his last hope in this world, as if to prove that he was still alive."
Sang Mei's body swayed, as if she had lost all support. Her eyes were empty and confused. "So, I am just a tool for him, a vessel to continue his bloodline?"
Ran Ran didn't answer, but her silence already represented an attitude.
Sang Mei suddenly laughed, her laughter full of sadness and irony, "Haha, how ridiculous! I always thought he was the only person in the world who treated me well, but it turns out I was just being sentimental."
"It's just because of blood...it's just because of blood..."
Her laughter became louder and louder, and tears could not stop flowing down. "He taught me all my skills as a ghost cultivator. It turned out that he only taught me to do better for him and become a tool in his hands!"
Ran Ran looked at Sang Mei, feeling a little reluctant, but she knew she couldn't be soft-hearted. She had to make Sang Mei recognize the facts. "You can't look at him with normal people's standards. Ghost is cold-blooded and ruthless. He only cares about his own feelings. Everything he does is for his goals and to realize his ideas."
Sang Mei's laughter stopped abruptly, and her eyes became cold and sharp, "His feelings? What about my feelings? What about my existence? Just because I am his blood, do I have to become his pawn and sacrifice everything for him?"
Ran Ran sighed, "Don't get excited, I didn't say you have to sacrifice anything for him, I just want you to understand that he is not as good as you think, but he is definitely not as bad as you think now."
"He is just that kind of person. He is indifferent to everything except the people and things he cares about."
Sang Mei sneered, "Of course you would say that, because you killed him, of course you have to make excuses for your behavior."
"As long as he is cold-blooded and evil enough, you won't have to feel guilty about killing him!"
Ran Ran frowned, "I killed him because he deserved to die. Everything he did made the world a terrible place."
Sang Mei suddenly calmed down, and a dark light flashed in her eyes, "Do you really believe what he said? Do you really believe that he is the culprit of this world?"
Ranran felt a chill in her heart, and then she slowly sank down as if a huge rock had fallen. She was already sure that she had been deceived by Wu Ning.
"Tell me clearly, what do you mean by that?"
Sang Mei curled her lips, "Why do you think he told you those words? Why do you think he asked you to kill him?"
Ran Ran had an ominous premonition in his heart, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Sang Mei took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "The reason he told you those words was because he wanted you to kill him. He wanted to end his life through your hands!"
Ran Ran was stunned, "Why?"
There was a flash of pain in Sang Mei's eyes. "Because he has lived enough, he is tired of this world, and he wants to free himself through death."
"And he can only accept it if he is killed by you."
"But if that's the case..." Ran Ran felt a sharp pain in her heart, "Why would he specifically look for you so that he could feel alive? Doesn't this contradict what he did before?"
Sang Mei looked at Ran Ran steadily, "Because you made him change."
"He has been looking for you, but at the same time he doesn't believe he can find you, until he finds you..."
"His wavering heart was determined at that moment."
Ran Ran was in a daze and couldn't believe it. "You are talking nonsense... He clearly told me that he was the culprit of this world. He clearly told me in person that everything he did was to become the disaster star in the prophecy..." Sang Mei shook her head, "You are too naive."
"Do you think he would easily tell you his secrets? Do you think he would easily expose his weaknesses to you?"
"I believe he also thought about hiding everything after finding you and just living the purest life with you, but this is no longer possible." Sang Mei looked at Ran Ran with a wry smile, "Look at what they have trained you to be like?"
"An unwavering savior."
"Since you have killed him, you must have recovered your memories."
Sang Mei's eyes were desolate. "You have recovered all your memories, but you still killed him without hesitation."
"The pure life between you and him no longer exists. He actually had no other choice from the beginning."
"He was just deceiving himself until you pointed the bloody blade at him, and then he chose to face the reality."
Ranran's heart was in a mess. She didn't know who to believe or what to believe.
She pursed her lips calmly, "So I did something wrong?"
Sang Mei's expression looked like she was laughing and crying at the same time. "I don't know whether you are wrong or he is wrong."
"But I'm sure if he were the one choosing between you and him, he would choose to kill himself."
Sang Mei looked at Ran Ran, and a trace of sympathy suddenly flashed in her eyes, "Maybe we shouldn't blame anyone."
“Many things in this world have no answers.”
Ran Ran took a deep breath and managed to suppress the sadness in her heart, "You are right."
"Besides, now that things have come to this, none of this is meaningful anymore. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong."
She raised her eyes and looked at Sang Mei intently, "I just hope you can get out of this."
"Live well along with his share."
Sang Mei propped herself up in a daze, with a look of tears and laughter on her face, "Please tell me the story in detail."
"What happened between you and him in the past."
"I have always only half understood his affairs, including his emotions." Sang Mei's smile was extremely bitter. "I often feel pain because I cannot feel his pain."
"Although he is gone now, I want to get to know him better." Sang Mei was stunned, tears flashing in her eyes, "If you are willing."
Ran Ran was stunned. She was extremely clear about the current situation:
She is pressed for time now.
But she just lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while, and still whispered to Sang Mei what had happened in the past.
Only then did everyone know Ranran's true identity and the relationship between her and Wu Ning.
The gentle narration seems to be able to transcend the limitations of time and bring people's feelings to a very long time ago.
Ranran smiled unconsciously.
Just treat this as a practice, a farewell, for Wu Ning - the boy who is forever trapped in malice, and for herself. (End of this chapter)
