Late night again.
Shaw Danon tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Ashh also opened its eyes wide, blinking at him. The other Shixiongs were already snoring loudly. Even Big Yella was fast asleep on the ground.
The moonlight was like water, shining in through the window and sprinkling on the ground like frost and snow.
Shaw Danon quietly got up. Ashh immediately jumped into his arms. Shaw Danon hugged it, patted its head, then walked outside.
The corridor was quiet, and there was no sound.
He smiled bitterly to himself. Since he arrived at Peak of Widows, he never had a good night's sleep. Thinking of the contest with Anan tomorrow, his heart was still unspeakably nervous.
At that moment, Ashh in his arms suddenly moved uneasily. Shaw Danon looked at it. Under the moonlight, Ashh's clever eyes were looking at the shadow in front of them.
In the darkness, a figure flashed by.
Shaw Danon's heart was moved, he followed.
That figure didn't run very fast, and as he ran, his shoulders seemed to be constantly shaking, as if he was crying. Shaw Danon recognized it was Hidi. He was even more curious. At the same time, seeing his Shijie crying, there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
Hidi ran to the Cloud Sea, came to the center of the arena. Seeing there was no one around, she could not hold it anymore, squatted on the ground and cried.
Shaw Danon had never seen his Shijie so sad. His mind was blank. He slowly walked to her side, whispered: "Shijie, you-"
Hidi was surprised. She jumped up and turned around. Seeing it was Shaw Danon, she was relieved. Then her heart turned sour again. She threw herself into Shaw Danon's arms and cried loudly on his shoulder.
Shaw Danon's body stiffened. His entire body was petrified. He could not move anymore.
Her sobbing echoed in his ears. He could feel the faint warmth from her body on his shoulder. It was like the scene in his dream really happened today. A faintly discernible fragrance wafted over.
Shaw Danon stood there, looking at the distance. Although he had countless thoughts to hug this woman, he did not.
Perhaps, if he really hugged her, his life will be different?
At this time, Hidi left his shoulder. Shaw Danon's heart was empty. Vaguely, he felt he had lost something.
His shoulders were wet with tears.
Hidi rubbed her red eyes, saw Shaw Danon's shoulder was wet from her tears, blushed, said: "Sorry, Xiao Fan."
Shaw Danon shook his head, said: "Shijie, what happened to you?"
Tian LingEr was about to speak when she heard something below her feet called out twice, she looked down and saw that it was Xiao Hui who had caught up. She quietly bent down and carried Xiao Hui in her arms.
"Never, Xiao Fan, never." The woman stood in the moonlight, sad and beautiful. She said to Shaw Danon with sadness: "Dad and mom never scolded me like this."
Looking at the beautiful face in sorrow, Shaw Danon felt a tearing pain in his heart, as if all her sorrow was brought by him. He forced himself to calm down and said softly, "Senior Sister, what's wrong? Why did Master and Shi niang scold you? "
Hidi hesitated for a moment, raised her head and looked at Shaw Danon. Since young, this Xiao Shidi was her closest playmate besides her parents. At this moment, in her heart, she seemed to have a thought: since when did Xiao Fan Shidi start to be so gentle to me?
However, this thought was just a flash. Her heart was filled with sorrow, finally she said to Shaw Danon with a crying voice: "It is all because of Kevern Dage!"
Shaw Danon's face turned pale. He couldn't help but clenched his fist. He clenched so tightly that his nails pierced into his palm.
"You still don't know?" Once Hidi opened her mouth, she no longer guarded against this Xiao Shidi. But Shaw Danon was shouting wildly in his heart: "I know, I know, I already know!"
The cold moonlight shined on the world.
"Kevern Shixiong and I love each other. I told them, I really really like him." Hidi calmed down a little. But she did not notice, every word she said, Shaw Danon's face lost a little bit of color.
"... But dad scolded me loudly, said I am not sensible. Even my mother who always loved me changed her face and stood on dad's side. How could it be like this, Xiao Fan? "
Shaw Danon lowered his head, did not let Hidi see his face, whispered: "How did Master and Shi niang know?"
Hidi was in a state of excitement, she did not notice the flaw in Shaw Danon's words. Her lips flattened, almost cried again: "I also did not know. Later I found out, it was Bamboo Height's Baako Shijie and others who told Shui Yue Shishu, then Shui Yue Shishu told my mother. I and Baako Shijie are so close, I have reminded them many times, but they still said it, I, I... "
Her eyes turned sour, the tears finally came out.
Shaw Danon said bitterly: "Perhaps Master and Shi niang did it for your own good. They are your parents, they will not treat you badly!"
Tian LingEr wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, loudly said, "What do they know! They only know that Kevern brother is Dragon Head Valley Vasp Caelo Shishu's favorite disciple, they only know that if Kevern brother and I are together, they will not be able to raise their heads in Jadeon, they never thought about me. "
She said with a bit of sadness, anger and determination: "Compared to my happiness, what is that. I really doubt whether they care more about their face or me, their daughter?"
Shaw Danon suddenly raised his head, looked at this Shijie who suddenly became a stranger.
What a sorrowful expression!
Helplessness, like a bird who lost its parents standing alone in the wind and rain. Sadness with a trace of panic, like a knife piercing into his soul!
Shaw Danon was immediately defeated by that look. A sadness that he had never felt before rose in his heart. If he could bear the pain for this girl, no matter how difficult it is, he is willing to bear it. But he did not know what to say, only called quietly:
"Shijie!"
"I want to be with him," Hidi said decisively. Instead of saying it to Shaw Danon, it was better to say she was saying it to her heart, to Tian Bolis and his wife who were not here. "I must be with Kevern Shixiong. We have made a solemn vow. No matter how father and mother oppose, even if the sea runs dry and the rocks crumble, we will be together."
She looked at the night sky, swore to the moon. The cold moonlight quietly sprinkled on her body. She was as beautiful as a sorrowful lily blooming in the night, dazzling people with her beauty and making them forget the desolate and dead shadow beside her.
Standing on the high ground, the rising sun shined on Shaw Danon's body. It warmed his body but not his heart. He stood on the stage expressionlessly, facing Anan who was as beautiful as a fairy.
The disdain in the icy woman's eyes was obvious. Everyone on the square knew that he had relied more on luck than strength to enter the top four.
Behind her, Aeolian Firmus was glowing with a faint blue light. Shaw Danon looked at the legendary divine object, lightly thought: after a while, will he be facing it?
Then, he momentarily forgot about this question. Ever since he came back last night, his spirit had been fluctuating in a kind of trance.
Above Cloud Sea, there were only two stages left. But the number of Jadeon disciples watching the match between Kevern and Issa was less than thirty percent. Almost everyone was attracted by Anan and Shaw Danon. Among the elders, including Master Doyal Shen, most of them were sitting under the stage.
But, when they saw Anan stepped on the stage, after a cheer, most of them were discussing whether Shaw Danon would be defeated in a moment or a moment.
Below the stage, Tian Bolis frowned. Even though he knew Shaw Danon's background, but hearing the scornful comments from the people behind him still made him uncomfortable. And SuRu, who was sitting beside him, was looking around for her daughter. Last night, after the big quarrel, Tian LingEr ran away crying, and this morning she had not been seen. As a mother, she understood her daughter, most likely this stubborn daughter ran to QiHao's arena.
She shook her head. Although she loved her only daughter dearly, this time she was completely on her husband's side. Perhaps this was the instinct of a mother. She always felt that the people in Long Shou Peak were not very good.
She turned her head and looked at the stage. At the same time, Shaw Danon also looked at her emotionlessly. Their eyes met. After a moment, Shaw Danon looked at her side. It seemed like he could not find the person he was looking for, then he turned his eyes back.
Surin frowned, said to Tian Bolis: "Xiao Fan's expression is not right today, like lifeless."
Tian Bolis said lightly: "He is just nervous. Child never see the world, nothing strange."
Surin quieted down, did not say anything.
Shaw Danon turned his eyes to Anan's face. Under the rising sun, her beautiful face was shining. Soon, Anan felt Shaw Danon's eyes. The scornful look appeared in her eyes again.
But this time, Shaw Danon did not avoid it. He did not even feel the scornful look. That beautiful face was completely meaningless to him. Only in his heart, he murmured: "She is not here. She went to watch Kevern's match!"
As smart as Anan was, she quickly found her opponent was only looking at her. But in his empty eyes, he was thinking about something else and completely ignored her existence. It was the first time in her life that she experienced this. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Dang!"
The bell and cauldron rang, echoed on Peak of Widows. Everyone quickly quieted down.
Anan straightened up her body, took a deep breath. Just two more wins, just two more wins, then she can realize her dream and master's expectation. Aeolian Firmus was behind her. The blue light gradually brightened.
"Bamboo Height disciple Anan, please enlighten me."
Shaw Danon woke up from a dream. His first reaction was not to return the greeting, but to look down the stage with great expectation. There, the heads were moving, the eyes of thousands of people, but there was no figure of the person he wanted to see.
Anan's expression changed, the Qing Yun disciples below the stage were also in an uproar, this was the first person to be so rude to Anan, Tian BuYi and SuRu looked at each other, at the same time both sensed, there was really something wrong with this little disciple today.
Shaw Danon slowly turned his head. His face was ashen, said lightly: "I am Bamboo Peak's Shaw Danon. Shijie, please do not go easy on me."
Anan startled. Although it was just polite words before the match, Shaw Danon was very strange. Who would say something like don't go easy on me. It sounded like sarcasm, but it did not look like it.
But Anan was after all Master Shui Yue's favorite disciple. Her heart was firm. Her expression did not change. She did not say anything. She raised her right hand, "Aeolian Firmus" slowly rose behind her.
Shaw Danon watched the blue light became darker and darker, brighter and brighter. Even his body was colored blue. But he could not find any nervousness. Instead, deep in his heart, he was expecting something.
He took out the black and ugly fire stick.
The audience roared with laughter. Compared to the majestic and noble Tianya on the opposite side, the firestick was like an ugly worm on the ground.
