Chapter 185: Drinking and Dispelling Hatred
"Master, how do you feel?"
Jing Yuan walked up to Jing Liu with some concern.
Jingliu didn't say anything, but just waved at Jingyuan, covering his forehead, recalling the memories in his mind.
A dark aura circulated around his body, and Jing Liu's face showed a look of pain.
The demonic body is too deeply entangled with him, just like the roots of an old tree that are taken root in his body.
Originally, he would lose his mind and enter the devil's body in the near future, but now he could clearly feel that the power of the devil's body was being uprooted until he could not feel it at all.
After a long time, Jingliu closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.
"Thank you."
This time, the thanks were more sincere and emotional.
"It's okay, but I haven't learned the sword that Miss Jingliu taught me before."
Zhou Xingxing chuckled. It was just a piece of cake for him anyway, and he would also be doing Xianzhou a big favor, so why not do it.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you at any time."
Jingliu nodded and spoke softly.
"Jing Yuan, before entering the prison, I will teach you a sword. Is that a problem?"
Then, Jingliu asked Jingyuan.
Unlike talking to Zhou Xingxing, when talking to Jing Yuan, Jingliu unconsciously put on a cold look, perhaps he had become accustomed to it over the past seven hundred years.
"Of course, no problem. However, you surrendered and were imprisoned because you were mentally exhausted. Now that the master has sealed the demonic body, you can make other plans."
Jing Yuan shook his head and said.
"hehe..."
Hearing this, Jingliu couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"I have committed the crime of falling into the devil's body and killing my compatriots. Although my devilish body is no longer dangerous, as General Luofu, do you want to use your power for personal gain and pardon me?"
"Of course not as General Luofu, but I intend to take you to Xuling to meet the Marshal. My master is a peerless genius with superb swordsmanship, the best in the Immortal Boat Alliance, and he has fallen into the evil spirit. Now that the evil spirit has been eliminated, it would be a pity to lock you up in the prison again, so I would like to ask the Marshal to issue a pardon order, so that you have the opportunity to make up for your crime."
Jing Yuan looked at Jing Liu and said, now that the evil spirits of the three of them had been eliminated and their heart troubles had been relieved, he really couldn't bear to see this friendship disappear like this.
Jing Liu pondered for a while, then nodded.
"You can arrange it."
"it is good."
Hearing Jingliu agree, Jingyuan smiled.
"I really didn't expect it. I thought today would be the day for us to say goodbye to Yunshang Wuxiao forever... Originally, the hatred was the last straw that drove my mind, but now... there is only regret."
Jingliu sighed and looked into the distance and said.
"All good things must come to an end, but there is more than one banquet in the world. What Dan Feng and Ying Xing did in the past was indeed an insult to the honor of a soldier, but now it seems that it was not in vain."
As Zhou Xingxing said this, everyone's eyes turned to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu was whispering with Qiong nearby. Feeling everyone's gazes, she couldn't help but tilt her head, looking confused.
Why are you all looking at me?
"Perhaps. Now that things have come to this, it would be too much of a letdown to bring up the past... It's a pity that I didn't prepare a bottle of good wine for this party. After all, this party should only be bitter."
Jing Liu retracted his gaze and said to Zhou Xingxing.
"I do have some wine, but it's not really good wine."
Zhou Xingxing suddenly remembered that when he was drinking in the lower area of Yalilo before, he stuffed a basket of wine from the store into his backpack, but in the end the three of them were drunk and unconscious before they could finish a bottle.
"Oh? I didn't expect that the benefactor was so well prepared. I guess he must have prepared it long ago?"
Jingliu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this person even prepared wine.
"Sir, you are very good at predicting things. I am afraid that even if Fu Qing comes, he will be inferior to you. I don't find it strange that you have been prepared in advance."
Jing Yuan smiled and nodded to Zhou Xingxing to express his gratitude.
"Drink this wine. It's a way of saying goodbye to the past and embracing the future."
Zhou Xingxing took out the wine and also took out a few wine glasses to distribute to everyone.
Ren and Dan Heng also came up. They were still taciturn. Ren didn't like to talk, and Dan Heng didn't like to talk either. Plus, their memories were fragmented so they didn't say much the whole time.
"How can this be possible? If it weren't for you, the Yunshang Five Warriors would have fallen apart today. What's more, you helped us suppress the evil spirit. For such a favor, Jing Yuan should toast you a glass."
Jing Yuan laughed, filled a glass of wine and handed it to Zhou Xingxing.
Zhou Xingxing was extremely helpless when seeing this. Since others were offering him wine, it was not easy for him to refuse it. He had originally planned to be a witness, but in the end he was dragged into the drinking party.
"What are you drinking? I want to drink too!"
Seeing this, Qiong also came over.
"We're drinking, why are kids joining in the fun?"
Zhou Xingxing waved at Qiong in an attempt to get rid of him.
"What? We are the same age! Why can you drink but I can't? I want to drink!"
Seeing this, Qiong said relentlessly.
"Give this girl a glass of wine, as a testimony to our ups and downs today."
Jingliu said this and handed the wine glass in his hand to Qiong.
"Great!"
Qiong took the wine with a happy look on his face. He had never drunk wine before, so it was a good opportunity to try it.
"Hey...you guys are all drinking, what about me?"
Seeing this, Bai Lu said with some dissatisfaction, why was she excluded?
"You are really a child and you can't drink alcohol."
Zhou Xingxing smiled helplessly when he saw this.
"Wouldn't that make me redundant?"
Bai Lu puffed out her lips as everyone gathered in a circle drinking. Although she didn't like it, she hated this feeling of being out of place and lonely even more.
"I'll find something to drink for you as a substitute."
Zhou Xingxing thought for a moment and started searching in his backpack.
"Hehe, Brother Xing is still the best!"
Bai Lu immediately smiled brightly.
When the other people saw Bai Lu, they couldn't help but smile.
This familiar liveliness seems to be exactly the same as before.
"Found it. Here you go."
Zhou Xingxing took out a bottle and handed it to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu was about to reach out to take it, but when she saw the bottle, her face suddenly changed.
"Eh! What!? Soda bean juice! I don't want to drink this!"
Qiong looked at it curiously, and then was speechless.
"Why do you carry soda bean juice with you?"
"It's for Pam."
"You are so cruel..."
Qiong was shocked when he heard this.
"Just kidding, here you go."
Zhou Xingxing chuckled, took back the soda soy milk, and handed Bai Lu a bottle of juice.
"That's pretty much it."
Bai Lu smiled again, and then asked for a wine glass in a very ceremonial manner.
"This cup today represents our farewell to the past. No matter the hatred, regrets, or the worries that have troubled us for hundreds of years, they will all be left behind. Just as my benefactor said, he gave me a chance, a chance to give up revenge and say goodbye to the past, and I will cherish this opportunity."
Jingliu finished speaking and raised his glass to everyone.
Everyone raised their glasses, but there was one short little hand that tried hard to raise it to the same height as everyone else. Unfortunately, even after it was raised above the head, it was still a little short.
Upon seeing this, everyone looked at each other, then squatted down to be level with Bai Lu.
For a moment, Bai Lu felt a little embarrassed seeing this.
Raise the glass and drink, and past grudges will disappear.
Dan Heng also breathed a sigh of relief. Since the old hatred was no longer there, he no longer had to worry about Dan Feng's identity from now on.
"Can you tell me about the past?"
This was the first time that Dan Heng took the initiative to want to know about Dan Feng's life. Although he remembered a lot, he didn't remember much.
"Row."
Jingliu nodded slowly, then walked towards the beach of the ancient sea. Seeing this, everyone followed him.
Beside the ancient sea, accompanied by the sound of waves, several people listened to Jing Liu telling the story of how the Five Heroes of Yunshang met.
"She is the bond that connects us... a rebellious Dragon Lord, a blacksmith who only knows how to work hard all day long to forge weapons, a carefree new Cloud Rider, and a Luofu Sword Master who only knows how to swing a sword... If it were any other time, it would be hard to imagine how these four people would become close friends, right?"
Jingliu drank the remaining wine in the glass as he spoke, his lips revealing the first warm smile in seven hundred years.
"There is another place I want you to go with me, so that we can finally say goodbye to the past."
Jingliu looked at the people behind him again and took out something in his hand, which was a wine jug.
Seeing this thing, Jing Yuan and Ren couldn't help but reveal a bit of surprise in their eyes.
"The four of us will go together on this trip. Danheng, you can't refuse... Also, Bailu, I would like you to witness the end of this farewell for us."
Jingliu spoke gently to Bailu again.
"Eh? Me?"
Bai Lu blinked in confusion and pointed at herself and asked.
"Ah."
Jingliu nodded.
"Okay then, but... aren't they going?"
Bai Lu pointed at Zhou Xingxing and Qiong and asked.
"There are only five of us on this trip, so we won't bother you."
"Lady Dragon Girl, please accompany us. We can also arrange accommodation for you in Shen Ce Mansion afterwards, right?"
Jing Yuan laughed and said to Bai Lu.
"Well, that's right. Then I will go with you."
Bai Lu nodded, thinking that the general was right.
Looking at the backs of the five people leaving, Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Now, this is actually a good ending, right? Don't you think so, Qiong...?"
Just as Zhou Xingxing finished speaking, he felt Qiong pressing against his chest, hugging his arms with a flushed face, leaning in his arms, looking at him with blurry eyes.
