After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing

Separated by the world, Pei Zhiyi chose to continue his training in other demon cities, while Gu Xizhou returned to the human capital.

Just as Gu Xizhou came back, Jiang Wuyang arrived right after.

"Looking at how dejected you are coming back, it seems like the talks didn't go well."

Gu Xizhou didn't say anything, but just picked up the fermented rice wine that he never touched.

"Drinking won't solve the problem."

"But it allows me to forget my problems for a while."

Gu Xizhou took back the wine that Jiang Wuyang had snatched away. At this moment, he could understand why humans loved drinking so much, because being drunk really did have the effect of relieving all worries.

"You clearly knew this would be the outcome, yet you still insisted on going your own way. Now that you've hit a wall, shouldn't you also shoulder the responsibility that you should bear?"

"Snapped!"

Gu Xizhou couldn't bear to hear the word responsibility now, so he threw the wine jug in his hand hard, and it hit the wall and broke into countless pieces, which scared Jiang Wuyang.

"Responsibility, responsibility. I've been in this position, bound by responsibility for thousands of years. I've always been consumed by responsibility. But today, at this moment, I've become a little selfish, and you're here to constantly remind me not to forget my responsibilities. What am I? Just a vessel for responsibility?"

Jiang Wuyang was stunned. He never expected Gu Xizhou to vent like this.

"……I did not mean that."

It's just that I'm in the position I'm in and I have to take responsibility.

Moreover, Gu Xizhou is the god that Father God values ​​most. If he doesn't want to take responsibility, who knows what kind of chaos will happen.

"Sorry, I lost my composure a bit."

Gu Xizhou sniffed, sat back dejectedly, and continued to pour himself some wine.

Jiang Wuyang sighed and simply sat next to Gu Xizhou to drink with him.

"You've been together for so long. Putting aside other things, Pei Zhiyi is indeed a unique girl. I'm not surprised at all that you're moved."

Isn't Jiang Wuyang the same? He actually has this kind of unclear and inexplicable feelings towards Ye Ruoxi.

But he is different from Gu Xizhou, he is not restricted by the inability to express his feelings, so the moment he realizes his feelings, he can choose to turn the tide. Even if the result is not satisfactory.

"But Xizhou is too different. We can't bring her back with just a few words of persuasion."

"You think she's gone astray?"

"Isn't that so?" Jiang Wuyang looked at Gu Xizhou and felt that the smile on his face was a little strange. "If she hadn't gone astray and you couldn't pull her back, why would you return to the human race before the three-month deadline?"

Gu Xizhou shook his head and took another sip of wine.

"There's no possibility for us to continue." Gu Xizhou's voice was a little choked. "She knew I had been deceiving her, so she chose to be frank with me. Maybe she was asking me step by step if I had to force her to go down that path. I had no choice. To be honest, we really let her down."

Jiang Wuyang disagreed with this. "She is the daughter of destiny. She has her own path to walk and responsibilities that she must bear. You are just guiding her to understand her responsibilities. How can you say that we are forcing her to walk that path? How can you say that we are letting her down? You can't think like that!"

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

Gu Xizhou's face flushed from drinking, and he couldn't help coughing. "Everyone says she's the daughter of destiny, but these are just titles we gave her. When did we ever ask her if she's willing to take on this responsibility? If she's willing to take this path? Protecting the world is our God Clan's responsibility. Who are we to take the initiative and hand it over to a little girl from the human race? Why should she have to do what we do just because she's gifted?"

“…But isn’t this how it should be?”

"No, there is never any should or shouldn't."

Gu Xizhou used to think so too, because the responsibilities they should bear were determined early on when they became gods, so from their perspective, these were just as they should be, and these were what they should bear.

But no one ever asked, why me?

"Wuyang, maybe we were wrong from the beginning. If we hadn't led her down this path, we might not have ended up like this today."

"But we don't have much time..."

"I know." Gu Xizhou closed his eyes, his whole body revealing helplessness. "As members of the God Clan, saving the common people is our destiny, not hers. No matter what path she chooses to take in the future, I don't want to interfere. She's already suffering a lot, and I don't want to add more burdens to her that she shouldn't have to bear."

"Have you decided?"

Gu Xizhou nodded.

Jiang Wuyang exhaled and patted Gu Xizhou's shoulder. "Although I can't understand why you have such feelings after talking to her once, what you said is indeed something I have never thought about before. Now that you say it, it seems to have really made me suddenly enlightened. I am just worried about you, worried that you haven't completed this matter well, and that the Father God will punish you when the time comes. But we have been partners for so many years, and no matter what happens in the future, I will bear it with you."

"Thanks."

"What are you thanking me for? Gu Xizhou, you are being so formal."

Jiang Wuyang laughed out loud, then picked up the wine in his hand and drank a glass with the wine in Gu Xizhou's hand.

"No matter what happens in the future, we brothers will face it together."

"it is good."

Gu Xizhou took a sip and choked again.

Jiang Wuyang pointed at Gu Xizhou and started to laugh, "Look at you, you clearly can't drink, but you still got so much good wine out and wasted it."

"You're still so talkative after drinking my wine."

"I just feel sorry for the good wine."

The two smiled at each other and put all the previous arguments behind them.

Gu Xizhou looked up at the night sky outside. There was a crescent moon in the sky and no stars.

Pei Zhiyi, I hope everything goes well for you in the future.

At the same time, under another sky

"Master, is this the magic city where your old friend is? Is this the one you said you had a good relationship with?"

Pei Zhiyi touched the grass debris on his head. It was really embarrassing as soon as he arrived.

"It must be because we arrived so late that he's a little grumpy."

Pei Zhiyi: “…”

This guy was really in a bad mood and just closed the city gate to prevent them from entering.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Wait!"

"Wait?" Pei Zhiyi glanced at the sky. "It's just getting dark. If we start waiting now, how long will it take?"

As far as Pei Zhiyi knew, the demon clan's nights were much longer than their days.

"Well, I'm not too sure about this, but don't worry, Master will definitely take you in!"
