Chapter 961: Can You Let Him Go?
"You..." The remaining words lingered between her lips and teeth, but they couldn’t be said.
How have you been? How are you doing? Han Litong didn’t know what she wanted to say; perhaps nothing she said would be meaningful. She hadn’t cared about how Han Jing was doing before, so saying such things now felt awkward.
So she swallowed the rest of the words, turned away, and looked aimlessly into the distance, feeling empty. After a long while, she asked, "Is there something you need?"
If there wasn’t anything, she probably wouldn’t have come.
Han Jing looked at Han Litong like this, not knowing what to say. What should have been said and shouldn’t, she’d already cleared up with her, but she remained immersed in her own world, so there was nothing more she could do.
How a person’s life turns out depends on themselves, not others.
Towards Han Litong, she had done all she could, and really had nothing more to say to her.
"I’ve come to take Fengxi, my father’s remains," Han Jing straightforwardly stated her purpose.
Han Litong’s originally empty pupils suddenly widened, and she turned towards Han Jing in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Han Jing hesitated for a moment, seeing her seemingly emotionally unstable appearance, but still revealed the truth: "We’ve found reliable people who said that if the soul of Fengxi is sealed in the Beiming Pearl, it won’t disperse. So if the Beiming Pearl is found, there’s still a chance to save him. I’ve been entrusted by my eldest brother to take Fengxi’s body, and if there’s an opportunity, I’ll certainly do my utmost to save him."
"You, you all plan to go to the Delusion Void Array to find the Beiming Pearl?" Han Litong didn’t expect Han Jing and the others to actually seek the Beiming Pearl, and really... is there a real hope to bring him back?
"If you truly care for him, let me take his remains away," Han Jing thought, even if Fengxi were alive, he probably wouldn’t want to stay in Beihan Palace.
He exhausted his thoughts trying to please and love the person who never could give him any trust or response from beginning to end, only to remember him after his death. What’s the point? All love and hate, at the moment he died, vanished like smoke! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such words before dying.
Han Jing wasn’t heartless in breaking them apart or anything, but clearly, they were two people with completely different values. She really didn’t know what Fengxi saw in Han Litong? However, if Fengxi really could come back to life, and he still wanted to like Han Litong, it’s not her concern. At most, she’d just act like she never had this father! After all, she didn’t really have this father anyway.
"I’m going with you all!" Han Litong stood up quickly and said to Han Jing.
If Fengxi could indeed be saved, she must go with them! Even if it costs her this life, she has to save him!
Han Jing...
"Why don’t you understand?" Han Jing said helplessly, "Back then, he saved your life, and you two were square. He hoped you could live well, so he saved you at the cost of his life. And what did you do? You disappointed his expectations and now intend to risk your life to save him again? Can you stop being obsessed, and let him go, and let yourself go?"
