C2374 Past
Qi Tianyu could now understand the cause and effect of this matter. It seemed that the Vermillion Bird had accidentally fell into a trap because of him, and so many emotions arose in its heart, which it was unable to dispel at the moment, and the Spiritual Energy of the Vermillion Bird were rare to find, so under that situation, there was actually a strand of its soul that stayed behind. The reason it had stayed behind was to sense Qi Tianyu's existence, and to prove that its choice at that time was correct. Just like now, when he felt Qi Tianyu's obsession with the Vermillion Bird, he would enter Qi Tianyu's dreams.1
"Tianyu, do you remember the last time we met? At that time, you left my place and said that you were going to do something with your brother and that you would come back to find me after you were done. However, none of us thought that that parting would actually be forever, and if we knew, I would definitely force you to stay. Although the Vermillion Bird didn't say anything, its heart was already tormented.
"Vermillion Bird, how can I blame you? I was the one who insisted on going to him. " Qi Tianyu did not know what to say. After all, what happened back then was far too distant from him now, and to the Vermillion Bird, it might be his lifetime of obsession. However, to Qi Tianyu, he had already experienced rebirth for a long time, and he could no longer remember what happened back then.
Qi Tianyu felt unwell in his heart. He had never let anyone down this way before, but the Vermillion Bird was the only one who was unable to recover its original affection from this.
"Tianyu, in the past, we had already settled down, the two of us were living a good life here, but one day you suddenly said that you needed to leave for a while, and then I really thought countless times, why couldn't I just be a little more willful and directly force you to stay, or even if I accompanied you there, you wouldn't be killed so easily by the other party?" The Vermillion Bird had always had this knot in its heart, and it hadn't opened it for so many years. This was one of the main reasons why the Vermillion Bird needed to gather its strength for its revenge.
"Vermillion Bird, it's useless to say all of this now. Moreover, what happened all those years ago had nothing to do with you, and I trusted Hei Xuan too much, so it was me who brought you trouble even if I didn't know who you were. If not for me, you wouldn't have done that kind of thing at that time, and it was me who let you down." Qi Tianyu couldn't say anything else now since he was completely unable to explain this kind of thing. Who would have thought that he would die first, but he had mysteriously been reborn until now, and the Vermillion Bird had actually died for his revenge?
"Tianyu, let's not talk about this anymore. We don't have much time, I was just a remnant of a soul that was left behind until now, to enter your dream, it was all because of your longing for me. How about this, if you have any questions hurry up and ask me, I will do my best to tell you everything I know." The Vermillion Bird obviously knew the character of its soulmate, yet it still had such an obsession in its heart. Naturally, it wasn't purely thinking about it, but more of the entanglement caused by all of these things.
"Vermillion Bird ?" Alright, I believe that you can understand me. Only by settling the matter in front of you can you ? " No matter how generous Qi Tianyu was, he couldn't directly say those words to the person in front of him.
"Haha, Tianyu, you don't need to be so careful. It's been so many years, and although I still can't let it go, once I leave this place, my soul will be destroyed and everything will naturally pass. I am willing to help you in the end." When the Vermilion Bird saw that the person in front of it knew of the person before it, there was at least a place left for it in its heart. It no longer had any regrets.
"Alright, I won't say anymore. Let's put everything to heart. Saying anything more won't have any other uses ?" "Suzaku, you should know that right now I must subdue the Suzaku box. Only by doing this will I have the ability to fight against the person above. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to explain your sacrifice when I died." Qi Tianyu naturally understood now. If he wasted this time, it was very likely that he would have another chance.
"Tianyu, you still don't know me? Of course I know you very well. I know what you want to do. You must have a lot of questions in your mind right now. We don't have much time left. " The Vermillion Bird's smile was still the same as before.
"Vermillion Bird, what is Lan Yuan's relationship with you? If... If he really is your chosen successor, I... I'll let him live. " Qi Tianyu thought about the promise he had made. This was a compensation to the Vermillion Bird.
"Lan Yuan? Selected heirs? Tianyu, your joke is too big. How can he be my chosen successor? Even if I suddenly died back then, the successor should still be Sheng Ze! " The Vermillion Bird had a look of disbelief on its face, as if it was wondering why the other party was thinking this way.
Furthermore, through some information, I thought that you died because you stepped into Lan Yuan's trap. But I didn't think that he would know so many of your techniques either. After all, there was a reason why both of them could be trusted. However, the two pieces of information were contradictory to each other, which one should be trusted? He couldn't figure out which line he should follow to continue the investigation.
"I was indeed framed, but I don't really know what happened. After all, I didn't have the ability to investigate it, but I can confirm that I didn't sign any inheritors at that time and didn't hand over my technique to anyone." Although the Vermillion Bird still had a strand of its soul left over after so many years, it didn't know much about the outside world, so it could only say this.
"This means that Lan Yuan obtained your cultivation technique through some abnormal method. Then, can you tell me about the Soul-taking Arts's item? How do I remove the Soul-taking Arts? " What Qi Tianyu was most concerned about right now was the Soul-taking Arts. After all, the reason why the Southern Courtyard could control the entire Vermillion Bird forbidden area was all because of that Soul-taking Arts.
The Soul-taking Arts was researched and created by the person in front of him, so if there was a chance, then it was naturally better to get a solution from the person in front of him. This way, the remaining things would naturally become much simpler.
"What?" What did you say!? "That's impossible." The Vermillion Bird didn't have the time to react and was frozen in place, unable to respond to his words.
