Chapter 228 Unable to Empathize
Chen Rui thought about the dark and gloomy past twenty years, and the light in his eyes completely went out.
At the same time, he also withdrew the meager spiritual power that he had originally used to protect his heart meridians, allowing the coldness to enter his body in strands.
His hands and feet soon lost feeling, and he even felt a strange sense of warmth.
Many scenes flashed before his eyes like a fleeting sight. Chen Rui watched his little self grow up slowly. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but a hot tear rolled down the corner of his eye.
Let's stop here. It's good here.
Chen Rui felt his life slipping away, and closed his eyes with some regret but calmness.
Just as his consciousness was about to blur, a clear and pleasant voice seemed to come from the distant horizon, carrying pure, malicious curiosity, and rang in his ears.
"Are you waiting to die?"
Chen Rui did not open his eyes. He just felt it was funny that he would have such an illusion at this time.
But he still answered: "Yes, I am waiting to die. What's the point of living? Some people are destined not to live in this world, and I am just one of them."
This is more like a summary of his first twenty years of life, a questioning and self-answering of his inner self.
Chu Xinglan, who was not far from him, raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Although he did not quite agree with his idea, he did not refute him.
Instead, he continued to ask, "You clearly wanted to do it just now, why did you hold back in the end?"
Chen Rui turned over with great difficulty, but because his hands and feet were out of control, he almost fell off the snow mountain.
In a place he couldn't see, a golden spiritual force held his body back, allowing him to luckily lie on his back.
"I can't do it. I can't."
Chu Xinglan heard a slight tremor in his short words. It seemed that there was a story behind this.
When his evil taste came up, he spoke like a devil in a seductive tone.
"So what if they don't like you? No one can beat you. In this world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak, and fists are the only way to speak."
"You just told the truth, why do they speak ill of you?"
"Even if you kill them all, what will happen?"
"And, if I'm not mistaken, you stayed with that group of people to protect someone."
When Chen Rui and a few others were secretly watching him and Yi Zhen, Chu Xinglan discovered them.
Although it was true that he was meditating, it was impossible for him to fully concentrate on it at this time.
Especially when the snow-capped mountains are right in front of you and you know there is danger, it becomes even more impossible.
So when those people suddenly started arguing, he saw and heard everything clearly.
Speaking of which, those people were really overthinking. Although he didn't intend to get rid of them, he didn't intend to bring a bunch of burdens along.
Especially a group of guys who don't seem to know how to be grateful.
When he saw Chen Rui arguing with them and leaving on his own, he directly woke up Yi Zhen and, despite his resistance, dragged him up to watch the show.
No matter how slow Chen Rui was, he realized something was wrong at this moment, especially his hands and feet which were gradually regaining feeling.
He opened his eyes in surprise and turned his head, and saw a handsome young man in luxurious clothes sitting on a sword with his legs swinging leisurely.
The sword under him was firmly embedded in the snow mountain, and there was no sign of shaking as he moved.
"???"
Chen Rui had never met Chu Xinglan before. Given his status in the family, no one was willing to take him out to occasions like exchange competitions.
And only the most dangerous tasks like the one now, where one could lose his life at any time, would be pushed to him.
Those people were even too lazy to say some polite words to him, they just told him that we raised him up and now it's time for him to contribute to the family.
What's more, the information he could get from the outside world was very limited. He had only heard the name of the influential figure Chu Xinglan mentioned occasionally.
So, at this moment, he looked at Chu Xinglan with confused eyes. Chu Xinglan was not in a hurry. He just blinked his big eyes and waited patiently for his answer.
After a long while, Chen Rui finally gave a bitter smile. At this moment, he didn't care who the other party was. Both of them were people he couldn't contact.
Especially when I was in such a mess, while the other party was so leisurely as if he was in his own back garden.
The snow-capped mountain that he couldn't move even with all his might was nothing in front of the opponent.
Chen Rui suddenly laughed out loud, but to Chu Xinglan it sounded like he was crying.
Chu Xinglan just looked at him silently without a word of comfort.
Chen Rui smiled for a while, raised his hands to cover his eyes, and also blocked the despair and brokenness inside, and said softly: "Since Daoyou has such strength, please go up the mountain quickly. There is no need to waste spiritual energy to save me. It is not worth it."
However, in a short period of time, Chu Xinglan heard the words "unworthy" and "not worth it" from Chen Rui's mouth.
To be honest, Chu Xinglan felt a little disgusted. In fact, without asking too much, he could guess that something bad might have happened to Chen Rui, which led to him developing such a character.
However, Chu Xinglan could not understand or empathize with such a person who gave up on himself and even began to hate himself.
He could be considered a man who had died twice. If it weren't for his master who sacrificed his own original power to help him, he might have died at any time now.
But even so, he cherishes every day he is alive even more. Life is always the most awe-inspiring and precious thing.
How many ordinary people are struggling to survive, and they have never thought of giving up.
He just clapped his hands and jumped off the sword, then stepped steadily into the snow and looked at Chen Rui indifferently.
"You're right. When you feel that you are unworthy, then you really are unworthy."
After saying that, he gestured to Yizhen who was not far away, indicating that they should go up the mountain, and then he took the lead and walked ahead.
Chen Rui was completely stunned by his words. He stared blankly at Chu Xinglan's back as he walked further and further away. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just lay back dejectedly.
Yizhen looked at Chu Xinglan who came excitedly, said a lot of nonsense, and then left without any burden, and sighed.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Chu Xinglan did, but he still couldn't bear to watch the scene.
If I let him die without helping him, I'm afraid he will feel resentful about it every day.
He walked forward steadily, helped Chen Rui up, stuffed a few pills into his hand, and told him, "Refine the pills."
Then he looked at Chu Xinglan who was walking slowly: "Aren't we going to form a team? Wait for me for a while."
