897: C897 Destined

C897 Destined

"Then …"

Zheng Kai asked in a probing tone as he felt the situation had reached a very important point, afraid that the ancient tree would be lured away by some strange detail.

"What did you hear?"

Zheng Kai had some skill in asking that. According to the communication with the ancient tree just now, Zheng Kai found that if he asked against the ancient tree's way of thinking, it was very easy to anger him, so he couldn't get the answer he wanted.

However, if he followed the ancient tree's line of thought to ask, for example, to clarify the details of that year, the ancient tree would be happy to answer, but Zheng Kai wasn't very sure about this, so he asked with a tone of discussion. This way, even if the ancient tree didn't want to answer this question, it wouldn't have too much resistance.

"Mm …"

Sure enough, after hearing Zheng Kai's question, the ancient tree shook its branches slightly. The deep mutterings it made indicated that it didn't have any resistance to Zheng Kai's question and was thinking about something.

"The wind was not strong then, and I was facing the opposite direction, so I didn't hear much."

The ancient tree's answer didn't let Zheng Kai understand anything, on the contrary, it made him even more confused.

Back then, I was just a normal little tree that had just opened its Sagacity, and had always grown up inside the mountain. Even though the wind and birds told me a lot of things, I still don't know as much as I do now.

It was obvious that the ancient tree was still brooding over the things that he had not heard from all of them back then. It kept repeating that he had not heard everything that they said, and at the same time, it was emphasizing that he did not want to do it either. It was all because his Cultivation Level was not profound enough and the wind did not help him at the same time.

Zheng Kai understood that this was caused by the ancient tree's wood element. Basically, wood element elves were very kind, and when they encountered something they couldn't do, they would subconsciously apologize, indicating that it was not because they didn't have the intention to help, but because they didn't have the ability.

"No problem, I know."

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Kai decided to give a direct response to the ancient tree. Otherwise, he was worried that the ancient tree would continue to tangle with him.

Although he and the ancient tree only had a casual relationship, he didn't want to have any adverse effects on the cultivation of the ancient tree due to his own reasons. Even though the ancient tree had previously showed a trace of hostility towards him, Zheng Kai was also unwilling to erase the fruits of hundreds of years of cultivation of the ancient tree.

After all, to Zheng Kai, this matter was a form of experiential learning for him. Whether he could control his future cultivation and not let some things affect his mental state was also a very important matter for him.

"One drink, one peck, is certain. Since the heavens allowed you to see them and yet did not allow you to hear their words clearly, then it must have been naturally arranged by the heavens. It is not your fault."

"Besides …"

Obviously, he intended to use these words to dispel the ancient tree's worries and give him a clear belief. He thought that he must do it well, and he must not leave behind an incomplete tail or any other hidden dangers. Otherwise, he might as well not do it.

"What else?"

Ancient Tree hurriedly asked when he heard Zheng Kai's words. Apparently, he had already heard the first part of Zheng Kai's words and solved half of the knot in his heart after so many years.

Regarding the matters of the past, the ancient tree had always been stuck inside, unable to extricate itself, because at that time, the terrifying energy which the three had displayed to destroy the heaven and earth was still something that the ancient tree found it impossible to attain even after thousands of years when the Cultivation Level reached a whole new level. This made him truly look up to the strength of the three back then.

At the same time, this made the ancient tree unable to extricate itself from the regret it felt all those years ago. It was because it couldn't figure out what those three people had said that brought them together that day.

At the same time, he felt deep regret and self-blame for not having heard what they had said clearly because he did not have enough Cultivation Level back then.

This feeling had been tormenting him for hundreds of thousands of years until today, when he heard Zheng Kai say something that almost made him feel like a demon in his heart. It was also because of Zheng Kai's words that made him realize that it might not have been his fault, but rather that the heavens were making him grow up in this place.

Because of this, he read Zheng Kai's last sentence and got great expectations.

"At the same time …" Have you ever thought that this world, or perhaps those three people from back then, should thank you? "

After hearing the old tree's question, Zheng Kai didn't say anything for a long time. Only after he had sorted out his thoughts did he finally open his mouth to answer.

"Thank me? "Thank me for what?"

If Zheng Kai's words made the ancient tree's many years of thinking loosen a little, then Zheng Kai's words completely confused him. He couldn't understand why the other three people had to thank him.

"I didn't help them in any way. Moreover, everything that happened to them in the past, I can only stand here and keep thinking about it. I don't have any ability to change it and affect the results of that event."

"Haha …"

Hearing the ancient tree's words, Zheng Kai smiled and said to the ancient tree.

"Have you ever thought that if it weren't for the fact that you grew up here all those years ago, there wouldn't be any news of the three of them now?"

"Have you ever thought that if it weren't for you painstakingly cultivating for so many years, constantly limiting yourself to your own self-blame and constantly thinking back to those years, the little story between them would not have reached my ears at all?"

"It can even be said that back then, you were arranged to grow up here. Cultivating here means that you are fated to see the three of them in the future."

"Wait …" "What do you mean?"

In the face of Zheng Kai's words, it was obvious that the ancient tree's untrained mind was unable to keep up with Zheng Kai's train of thought.

"Haha …"

Hearing the ancient tree's question, Zheng Kai laughed and said.

"I mean, it doesn't matter if it's you or the three of them. Being able to gather here is already something that is destined to happen."

"Even if I come here today and hear what you have to say about what happened in the past, it is fated."
