Perhaps You Haven't Accepted the Past, You're Just Afraid of Losing the Present
At this moment, in addition to the unfinished tasks, another task popped up in Gu Chen's system.
[System notification: Additional task issued.]
[Mission Objective: Challenge no fewer than one hundred junior members of the Shen Clan and severely Shen Clan's top prodigies.]
[Task Reward: To be awarded based on completion status.]
[Task duration: 10 years or less.]
"This task requires..."
Gu Chen frowned slightly, read it again from top to bottom, and then breathed a sigh of relief:
"Fortunately, there was no penalty for failure in this mission, and the fact that it took ten years to complete suggests that the younger generation and prodigies of the Shen Clan are all extremely powerful?"
With this thought in mind, Gu Chen secretly shook his head.
His understanding of the Shen Clan was still relatively limited.
However, judging from the aura of these powerful individuals from the Shen Clan, they are clearly not comparable to the younger generation from the Five Continents Continent.
"The reward is still not clearly defined."
Gu Chen's gaze lingered for a moment, then he surveyed the two tasks in the system, and murmured softly:
"I remember this was supposed to be Sign-In System..."
The Five Continents Domain.
Sea Race Reception Center.
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly, and he spoke softly:
"Was the One Loving Nest triggered so quickly?"
With a thought, I entered the system.
Sure enough, a new tag appeared in the "[hugging together]" section of the "Loving Family" information.
Lu Changzhi checked the information.
"So it wasn't because of Gu Chen?"
After learning the reason for the trigger, Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.
It was Qin Li's side that triggered this group to band together.
As for the targets, they are Shen Tianxun and Shen Tianzhi, as well as the Shen Clan.
Currently, besides Gu Chen, the tasks for the other disciples are also being generated.
"It seems the Shen Clan is in for trouble."
Lu Changzhi said softly.
After speaking, Lu Changzhi paused slightly, then his expression shifted, as if he had thought of something:
"The Shen Clan seems to be a major clan in the Misty Clear Realm, and they even have a bloodline. Speaking of bloodlines..."
A name flashed through Lu Changzhi's mind.
Myriad Laws Academy, Shen Wenxi.
Of course, she and Xiao Ye are now nominally Daoist partners.
"I remember, Shen Wenxi seems to have bloodlines on her side, no, she used to have bloodlines."
On the Five Continents Continent, bloodline is an extremely rare thing.
So far, he has only seen two prodigies from the Five Continents Continent possess information related to this.
One was Huang Jiuzhao, and the other was Shen Wenxi, so they left a deep impression on me.
"If that's the case, perhaps Shen Wenxi's background is that of the Shen Clan?"
With this thought in mind, Lu Changzhi began to focus on Xiao Ye's group mission.
A moment later, the mission details were updated.
Just as Lu Changzhi had guessed, although they were a group, each person was responsible for different things.
"To grant indefinite access to the Xiang Clan's martial arts techniques and skills, and to help Shen Wenxi sever ties with the Shen Clan?"
Looking at the mission details, Lu Changzhi smiled:
"As expected, I guessed right."
"However, if you ignore the first part, this mission feels somewhat familiar."
Having a romantic relationship and needing to go to the woman's faction is, in Lu Changzhi's view, a classic scenario.
The difference is that Xiao Ye's relationship with Shen Wenxi clearly does not require the approval of the Shen Clan; rather, the Shen Clan is better off not staying.
At the same time.
Myriad Laws Academy
Xiao Ye also finished reviewing the mission.
"Tongtong, is the Shen Clan a power on the Five Continents Continent?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a voice rang out:
"My lord, the Shen Clan is not a power on the Five Continents Continent."
"Isn't that right?"
Xiao Ye said softly, looking at the second half of the mission.
"Helping Wenxi sever ties with the Shen Clan, it seems Wenxi must know something."
At that moment, Xiao Ye got up and went to Shen Wenxi's side.
"What's the matter?"
Shen Wenxi put down the book in her hand and turned to look:
"You're usually in meditation at this time. What's wrong?"
Xiao Ye nodded:
"I have indeed encountered some problems that I don't fully understand at the moment."
"Tell me about it, maybe I can help you." Shen Wenxi waved her hand, her expression suggesting she was handing the task over to me.
Xiao Ye went straight to the point, saying:
"Wenxi, what do you know about the Shen Clan?"
"Shen Clan."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxi's expression visibly stiffened, and her demeanor immediately became unnatural.
Xiao Ye immediately said:
"If you don't want to talk about it, then let's change the subject."
Shen Wenxi gently shook her head, her gaze turning to:
"It's nothing, but why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Xiao Ye thought for a moment and said:
"Why don't you Wenxi first?"
The task came suddenly, and we knew very little about it. Making up a reason would easily expose our deception.
Listen first, then make it up.
Shen Wenxi nodded gently.
After a moment of silence, Shen Wenxi slowly said:
"Actually, I was originally born into the Shen Clan, a powerful force in the Shen Clan Misty Clear Realm..."
Xiao Ye listened quietly as Shen Wenxi spoke slowly and deliberately.
If you decide not to speak, then you won't speak. But if you decide to speak, then there's no need to hide anything anymore.
"Since your father is the clan leader, you should also have blood in you?" Xiao Ye steered the conversation toward the matter of bloodline.
Shen Wenxi shook her head. "It happened before."
"Why 'in the past'?" Xiao Ye asked.
"What happened?"
Shen Wenxi remained silent for a moment, then calmly said:
"I wasn't born alone; I have an older brother, and his bloodline is superior to mine."
One day, my mother suddenly advised me that, as the daughter of the Changzhi, I should consider the greater good of the Lineage.
"Later I understood that the so-called Lineage righteousness meant extracting my bloodline and merging it into my brother's body, thereby creating a prodigy for the Lineage whose bloodline level far surpassed that of others."
Xiao Ye's face darkened, and he frowned, saying:
"And what about your father? As the head of the clan, did he also condone such behavior?"
Shen Wenxi shook her head:
"His mother trapped him. She told me that everything had already happened, and even if what she did was not recognized, time would forgive her."
"Forgive her my foot!" Xiao Ye suddenly muttered under his breath.
He then asked the system directly:
"Tongtong, can Wenxi regain the bloodline she lost?"
"My lord, of course you can," the system replied.
"How do we do it?" Xiao Ye pressed.
"You can return from wherever you go, and of course, you can also flow into the sea," the system replied.
"Understood."
Thinking to himself, Xiao Ye looked at Shen Wenxi and said seriously:
"What you've lost, I will help you get back."
"Don't want."
Shen Wenxi immediately spoke up, shaking her head:
"I've long since accepted all of this. Now that I'm far away from them and have you by my side, I'm already very content with this life."
I'm very satisfied with my life now.
Xiao Ye nodded, but then changed the subject, staring into Shen Wenxi's eyes:
"But Wenxi yourself honestly, do you really think time will forgive their actions?"
Shen Wenxi remained silent.
After a moment, Xiao Ye spoke again:
Perhaps you haven't accepted the past; you're just afraid of losing what you have now.
Shen Wenxi's body jolted violently, and she froze completely.
Xiao Ye raised his hand, stroked Shen Wenxi's head, and whispered:
"I hope that what I can do is not only to be cherished by you, but also to be a source of courage for you."
Shen Wenxi raised her arms and gently hugged Xiao Ye.
After a long while, Shen Wenxi raised her head and asked softly:
"So, what should we do?"
Xiao Ye raised his hand and tapped Shen Wenxi's head from the side, smiling:
Plan before you act.
