Understanding One's True Heart? The Road Ahead Was Long

——

"Dousing corpses is a bit too disgusting, isn't it?"

Just as the atmosphere became quiet, Xiao Wu weakly broke through this invisible barrier and brought the topic back to the present.

but.

She genuinely felt that the act of "corpse abuse" was a bit too outrageous.

If it's truly confirmed that Dales murdered Zhou Qing's parents, then they could have brought him to justice in their own way. There was no need to be so cruel.

But Tang San said, "The hatred between parents and children is irreconcilable. If my mother is killed by someone and I find him when he is already old and dead, I will still find a way to dig up his grave!"

When "mother" was mentioned, Xiao Wu stopped talking. After all, she had come to the human world in human form to find the murderer who killed her mother.

Honestly, if she really found the person who killed her mother, and she had the ability to kill that person herself, she probably wouldn't be able to resist using the cruelest methods to torture and kill them!

That's why Xiao Wu suddenly understood why Zhou Qing wanted to "make Dales die again and again".

Moreover, judging from Tang San's appearance, his mother at home probably experienced a similar situation.

Without realizing it, Xiao Wu felt that her encounter with Zhou Qing and Tang San might be an arrangement of fate, bringing together three people with similar talents to grow together and seek revenge together!

only.

When the person involved saw that Xiao Wu and Tang San both empathized with him, his eyes twitched slightly.

Torture?

Desecrating a corpse?

He doesn't have that kind of perverse sense of humor!

The death of one's biological parents...

Zhou Qing simply wanted to uncover the truth and seek justice for them, nothing more.

After all, he was Transmigrator, and he was raised by Old Jack in this life. He had never met his biological parents, so how much affection could he have for them?

At most, he just wanted to take responsibility for the fact that they gave birth to his physical body.

Zhou Qing wasn't entirely sure why he said things like "let Dales die again and again"... but it definitely didn't mean "corpse torment."

"Cough cough."

Zhou Qing clenched his right fist, put it to his mouth, and coughed twice. "Alright, let's skip this topic. Let's split up and gather intelligence. We'll meet up in this alley before 10 p. m. to share what we've gathered, okay?"

Tang San naturally agreed.

Xiao Wu is perfectly acceptable.

Romantina nodded in agreement, saying that she happened to know a minor nobleman in the city and was good friends with his daughter, so she might know the specifics of what happened six years ago.

Ning Rongrong, however, looked at Zhou Qing with suspicion. "After saying all this, could it be that your real purpose is to split up so that you can get rid of me?"

"I really didn't expect that." Zhou Qing pounded his chest in frustration, then straightened up under Ning Rongrong's disdainful gaze and flattered her, "You're so smart, how could I possibly fool you?"

"That's true."

Ning Rongrong proudly raised her chin, deciding to go with Zhou Qing to prevent him from running away.

have no choice.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to agree, and gave Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina a look of feigned innocence after getting a good deal: ╮(╯▽╰)╭, "Hey, Tang San, it seems I'm much more handsome than you, all the girls like me."

Tang San used a gesture he learned from Zhou Qing to raise his middle finger in rebuttal.

Xiao Wu laughed out loud, "Hehe, all you can do with that tongue is fool a naive little girl. Looking at your appearance, you're not much more handsome than Tang San."

Tang San: "..."

Having been subtly criticized twice in one day regarding his appearance, Tang San had given up on arguing.

Romantina's condition has flared up again (p≧w≦q): "Are you going to discipline another little girl behind my back again, no, in front of me?"

In an instant, the heavy atmosphere from before vanished.

Ning Rongrong was silent for a while, staring straight at Zhou Qing, and said, "I now suspect that this person may be mentally ill, or perhaps you deliberately used a secret code to make her say that, just to separate me from you?"

"How could that be? She's just mentally ill."

Zhou Qing's words struck Romantina's heart, making her blush like a peach. In the end, she was dragged out of the alley by Xiao Wu and Tang San, one on each side, before she returned to normal.

"Your friends are really interesting."

After Romantina, Tang San, and Xiao Wu went their separate ways to investigate, Ning Rongrong, who was standing next to Zhou Qing, revealed a hint of envy, saying, "I don't have a single friend in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Forehead."

"Although everyone listens to me, I know that they are actually just afraid of me, not respect me like they respect my father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone."

"Um."

"I wish I had such good friends like you."

"Oh"

Ning Rongrong, having poured out her heart, saw Zhou Qing's perfunctory attitude and puffed out her cheeks. "Are you even listening to me?"

"I've been listening attentively the whole time."

Zhou Qing believed Ning Rongrong's true feelings. It was perfectly normal for a girl who had been pampered like a princess since childhood to be willful and mischievous.

However, when everyone in the family dotes on her, and even other children her age are told by their parents not to show her any disrespect, then even with people who are truly close to her, such as Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, she will instinctively feel a sense of loneliness in her heart.

Being physically precocious or mature does not necessarily equate to being psychologically mature.

Children like Ning Rongrong and Qingzhu Zhu cannot be entirely equated with Transmigrator like him and Tang San.

"What? You're being way too perfunctory."

Ning Rongrong turned her head away, but the corners of her mouth curled up—

Within the sect, no one dared to treat him with such an attitude. At first, this "Qing Zhou" was just like everyone else in the sect, showing him great respect.

Originally, she thought this guy was boring and only wanted to get her hands on what attracted her.

But as she got to know him better, she found "Qing Zhou" to be quite interesting. First, he dared to bargain with her, then he expressed his desire to "abuse corpses," and now he was so perfunctory with her... He was really a strange boy.

"I'm not just giving you the runaround, I just don't know how to solve your problem."

Zhou Qing spread his hands, looking at the vendors on the street who were shouting hysterically, a sight that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. He shook his head helplessly, "Everyone has their own troubles, what can I do? Just like the people on this street, if they weren't forced by life, who would be willing to get up early and work until midnight or even the early hours of the morning?"

Ning Rongrong glanced at the crowd and said, "My dad said they are all mediocre people, unlike us."

no the same?

No the same!

Zhou Qing suddenly shivered, jolted awake, and burst into laughter three times. "Ha! Haha! Yes, it's different, really different, different from the scenes I remember! In their eyes, there's only exhaustion, only the struggle to survive, not the struggle to—"

"Life."

In that instant, Zhou Qing truly noticed the confusion and hesitation in his heart.

His initial motivation for wanting to change the world was not the pride of a Transmigrator, but simply his deep longing for his homeland and his desire to bring the social system of this world closer to the direction he was familiar with.

That's difficult!

Especially in this world where there are also extraordinary powers—

Even more difficult!

If one were to envision and act in that way, the enemy would not only be the elite class of the entire continent, but also himself.

Because his will, his soul, may also be corrupted by the privileges that come with power.

He had already instinctively anticipated this, and hoped that Tang San would remind him in the future not to forget where he came from...

However, at that time, he didn't really understand what he wanted to change about the world, or perhaps he had realized it in his heart, but chose to run away because of fear.

However, upon arriving in Falling Star City, whose architectural style resembled that of Huaxia and whose bustling night scene was similar to that of his previous life, Zhou Qing's heart was touched. Ning Rongrong's unintentional reminder further enlightened him, and his mind suddenly became clear.

And he already had the idea of giving it a try:

See if I can be a qualified "GCZY successor" --

At the same time, inside the metal box that Zhou Qing had placed in the Gray Pouch, the egg of the Light Goddess Butterfly seemed to sense Zhou Qing's intense emotional surge of love, and trembled slightly...
