#218 - Unfaithful person
In a wooden house in the corner of the village, Gu An stood outside the wooden fence, looking at the person inside.
She looked to be in her forties or fifties, the marks of time having stolen her youth.
Judging by her features, she might have been considered barely a beauty when she was younger.
But compared to other immortals, she had no advantage.

Such a person would be considered ordinary in the eyes of a cultivator.
But she was the one who happened to enter Zuo Youyan's heart.
Making him never forget her.
Perhaps it was because of the timing, or perhaps because she was forever out of reach.
Zuo Youyan, who never had thoughts of a Dao companion, always left a place for this woman.
But until his death, he never got his wish.
Now, Gu An needed to know if she was already married.
Not knowing the situation could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
However, Su Ya'er did not answer the question, but instead asked curiously, "They said you left."
Her expression was calm, showing no change.
Gu An could only nod and reply, "Yes, but I came back again."
"Then when are you planning to leave?" Su Ya'er opened the door and brought Gu An a chair.
She also rummaged around inside.
Taking out tea leaves packaged in a delicate box: "This is the only presentable thing in my house."
She looked a little embarrassed: "I hope you don't mind."
Gu An remembered the days when Zuo Youyan was taken in by her, when he drank the tea and scolded it, saying it was for dogs.
She was so angry that she directly hit Zuo Youyan's wound.
Making him grimace in pain.
He said that the first thing he would do when his injury healed was to let her know what a heavy punch felt like.
Looking at the words, Gu An could sense that Zuo Youyan was smiling when he wrote these things.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Ya'er asked while making tea.
"Remembering the first time I drank your tea," Gu An said casually.
Hearing this, Su Ya'er's hand paused while making tea.
Then she returned to normal and said: "You still remember, you weren't like you are now, your eyes seemed to hide many things."
Gu An was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, without answering.
He originally wanted to use Zuo Youyan's tone to tell her that he was too young at that time.
Always thinking that he was the chosen one.
But Zuo Youyan only said such words at the end.
Now that he was alive, he shouldn't be like this.
He should continue to have high ambitions.
Continue to face the darkness, be proud, and pierce the dark sky.
Become the bright light here.
Gu An drank the tea, feeling that the tea leaves were not cheap.
How could she afford them?
"How is it?" Su Ya'er asked with some anticipation.
Gu An nodded and said seriously: "It's very delicious, the best tea I've ever had."
Hearing this, Su Ya'er smiled, seeming to breathe a sigh of relief: "I don't like these things, it's a waste to keep them.
If you like it, I'll make you some next time you come."
Hearing these words, Gu An's hand paused.
But it quickly returned to normal.
And this scene was also captured by Su Ya'er, her eyes drooped, but she quickly smiled and raised her eyebrows:
"Why don't you take some to drink when you have time?"
Gu An looked at the person in front of him, he felt that he shouldn't have agreed to Zuo Youyan's request.
He shouldn't have come.
Looking at her expectant gaze, her lost but strong appearance, he was a little at a loss.
Although he was not young, he had never encountered such a thing.
In his many years of experience, he had never had complex entanglements with anyone.
Only benefits, only grudges.
Killing people could solve the problem.
In this way, his heart remained firm.
But now, blind firmness always felt like a kind of cruelty.
What she expected was Zuo Youyan, and he,
Was not.
"Okay, I'll take some," Gu An nodded with difficulty, and then changed the subject:
"Have you been doing well these years?"
"Very good," Su Ya'er said while helping to pack the tea leaves: "I have a filial son, and a sensible daughter-in-law, and two young grandsons, and the family is doing well.
It's much better than before, and I really like my current life."
Gu An looked at her, speechless for a while.
He didn't know if what the person in front of him said was true or false.
If it was true, that would naturally be a good thing, but if it was false, where was it false?
Although she was smiling, he, who had comprehended the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, did not perceive joy.
Perhaps he was not good at this,
"By the way, you haven't said when you plan to leave this time, I've heard about your situation," Su Ya'er asked.
Gu An looked at the person in front of him and slowly said: "Soon."
"Then..." Su Ya'er paused, making her words seem casual: "Then when do you plan to come back?"
Gu An was silent for a moment, and finally firmly replied: "Perhaps I will never come back."
Crack!
Su Ya'er, who was originally packing tea leaves, accidentally knocked over the teacup on the side.
Then she wiped the tea in a panic.
Gu An saw it in his eyes, but did not make any movement.
While cleaning up, Su Ya'er said: "Is the outside world exceptionally wonderful?
Can you see how high the sky is and how thick the earth is when you go out?"
Hearing this, Gu An slightly raised his head, looked at the sky, and said with a slight bitterness:
"I don't know how high the blue sky is, or how thick the yellow earth is, I only see the cold moon and warm sun, coming to torment people's lives."
It was complicated and sad here, and so was it outside.
Everywhere was the same.
Su Ya'er put the packed tea leaves in front of Gu An and said: "It's ready, I'll keep a little bit, and give you the rest, this is just ordinary tea leaves, I hope you don't mind."
Gu An stretched out his hand and took the tea leaves.
Then he carefully put it away: "I will always keep it."
Su Ya'er looked at the person in front of her, got up and said: "You're leaving, right?"
"Yes," Gu An got up and nodded.
"Then, can you hug me?" Su Ya'er asked.
Gu An looked at her and nodded slightly.
Before he could move, she went around the table, came to Gu An and hugged him.
For a time, Gu An's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and finally he said the sentence for Zuo Youyan: "I'm sorry, I broke my promise."
Su Ya'er's body stiffened, and finally she took a step back gently, with a smile on her face: "Go, it's not good if people see you."
Gu An looked at her, remained silent for a long time, and finally turned and left.
But before he took two steps, Su Ya'er suddenly asked: "In the future, will I be able to hear the news of your fame and fortune?"
Gu An was silent for a moment, without turning his head, but his voice was smiling: "Yes, one day you will hear Zuo Youyan ascend to the top, with boundless light."
After the words fell, he left step by step.
Su Ya'er watched him leave, always with a smile on her face.
Perhaps she was worried that he would suddenly turn around.
She wanted him to see her smile.
But he didn't turn around.
After his figure disappeared, the smile on Su Ya'er's face had become stiff.
She slightly raised her head, opening her eyes and daring not to blink.
It seemed that she was afraid that something would fall out.
But even if she didn't blink, the large teardrops in her eyes still fell disobediently.
One after another, as if they would never stop falling.
At this time, Su Ya'er covered her face with both hands, sat weakly in the chair, and sobbed softly.
She met Zuo Youyan at the age of sixteen. That was the happiest month of her life. To this day, she still remembers the man who told her, full of spirit, that he would come to redeem her.
She felt that bright affection, and she was sure he felt her feelings too.
So she believed him and worked hard to save money ever since.
She knew her status and knew that his words might be just a joke.
But she just believed him.
She spent nine years saving enough money for her redemption.
Finally, she asked someone from outside to help, using the excuse of marrying her, to redeem her.
She succeeded.
She was free.
And no longer so despised.
Because he was very angry about the tea at the time, she saved money for a long time and bought the best tea, not for anything else, but so that she could brew it for him the next time she met him.
Hoping to get his praise, so she could show off a little.
She waited with joy in her heart for that person to come, day after day, year after year.
She made so many efforts, just hoping that he could be a little easier when he arrived.
At the age of twenty-eight, she found a child and adopted him.
Raising him to adulthood.
In order not to let him misunderstand, she gave the child the surname Zuo.
Since then, rain or shine, she was either inquiring about his news or waiting for him to arrive.
She waited for thirty-four years.
This year, she finally waited for him.
She saw that the light of that time was gone from his eyes, that bright affection was gone.
Her heart trembled with fear.
But he still drank her tea and praised her tea, and she felt happy.
Thinking that she could still brew it for him in the future, but...
He seemed never to come again.
Until the last sentence she heard during the hug, she understood.
He was not him.
Her Zuo Lang would never come again.
At this moment, Su Ya'er burst into tears.
A woman in her early twenties came over with two children, startled and exclaimed.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
The two children also immediately ran to Su Ya'er, afraid and said: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are we being naughty? Don't cry."
On the other side, Gu An walked in the moonlight, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
He heard Su Ya'er's cry and felt that kind of despair.
But he couldn't go back.
Because Zuo Youyan was dead.
He would never come back.
His turning around would be a kind of cruelty.
Looking at the moonlight, Gu An sighed softly: "The affairs of the world are a big dream, how many times in life is it autumn and cool?"
Gu An took out the Zhuri.
The condition Zuo Youyan gave was a drop of blood.
It was a pity that he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Once he opened his mouth, this meeting would be different.
However, he could feel that the curse on it had disappeared, and the seal was collapsing.
With a slight grip.
Bang!
Fifty percent of the seal was broken on the spot.
The rust on it did not fall off, but it was much sharper than before, and it could be driven by spiritual energy, with amazing power.
At this moment, Gu An realized that Su Ya'er had a pivotal position in Zuo Youyan's heart.
Unfortunately, he still broke his promise.
"I don't know if he regrets it later."
If he had only been patient, perhaps it would not have been this ending.
But it was still what the other party said.
Would that still be Zuo Youyan?
Gu An still didn't understand.
But there was a lingering feeling in his heart that the warmth and coldness of human relationships are sometimes more hurtful than sharp blades.
Gu An did not go back, but came to the city.
Walking on the road.
He was a little confused.
He was not a person with extraordinary talent, nor a person who severed emotions and righteousness.
It was normal to be affected by this.
But he also had to take this as a warning.
Even someone as strong as Zuo Youyan had such an end, how much stronger could he be than him?
Improving himself was the most important thing.
Putting away his disguise, Gu An walked on the street.
He needed to comprehend the sword intent sent by Chu Meng, which could greatly increase his attack.
Coupled with the Qi Hai Tian Gang blessed by the Ping Qiu Three Styles, that would be a great killing move.
It was just that he didn't know how to comprehend it.
After seeing Su Ya'er, he felt that he had comprehended more.
That feeling became more and more obvious.
So he should still stay in the city and feel the worldly emotions.
This was really cruel.
Gu An shook his head, feeling that he still shouldn't think too much.
Too much would easily lead to a dead cycle, and instead fall into the lower class.
At night, it was brightly lit here.
Many people were active at night.
Gu An decided to find himself a job, starting with this kind of small thing.
However, he still had to take time to return to Feng Wai Feng, which meant he needed to find a slightly free job.
Finally, he came to a shop selling talismans.
Selling ordinary talismans, for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment use.
It was just a small shop.
They were hiring here.
Gu An walked into the shop and looked at the people inside. An old man was sitting inside.
Hearing the sound, the other party slightly raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu An and said: "Buying talismans?"
Gu An shook his head: "Senior, are you hiring?"
"Yes."
The old man nodded and said: "Are you coming?"
"I want to try."
Gu An nodded.
"From noon to midnight, you have to not only sell talismans, but also clean up.
Three spirit stones a month."
The old man said.
"Only three spirit stones?"
Gu An was a little surprised.
The other party's requirement was above the fifth level of Qi Refining. What was the use of three spirit stones a month for the fifth level of Qi Refining?
If it was only half a day, it would be fine, but here it was almost bound for a good amount of time.
"Yes, three spirit stones."
The old man looked at Gu An and said: "But there are books about talismans here that you can read."
Accepting apprentices?
Gu An thought of this in the first time.
But it was useless to only read books without teaching. You could only secretly watch the talisman making when you were free.
In fact, it was still a loss.
But Gu An just wanted to find something to do and see if he could comprehend the Broken Blade Intent.
By the way, inquire about Zuo Youyan's mother.
Find a chance to meet her.
"How is it?"
The old man asked.
Gu An looked at the other party, Foundation Establishment Completion.
His strength was very strong.
It was a pity that his energy and blood were declining.
If he didn't get promoted in recent years, he was afraid that there would be no chance.
"Okay."
Gu An nodded.
The old man didn't care, but said: "Then start working now."
Gu An felt that the other party was a little disgusted. The cultivation he showed was the sixth level of Qi Refining.
He looked like he was in his forties or fifties.
The other party might still think he was old for a sixth level of Qi Refining at forty or fifty years old.
Gu An didn't care, and then entered the small shop.
"There is a booklet over there with the prices of the talismans. You can take a look.
In addition, some talismans are for display, and you need to come to me to get them if you want to sell them."
The old man pointed to the back and said:
"I'm making talismans in the back. You can call me if you need anything.
When I'm not here, you can check all the books inside, but it can't affect business."
"Yes."
Gu An nodded respectfully.
Why should a Yuanshen be so polite?
Just suppress the expansion in my heart, and also, my working here may bring danger to the other party.
After all, some inner disciples don't like him and will take action.
It's okay now, but it's just that they haven't found him yet.
These people should rarely have Yuanshen, just treat it as picking up spirit stones.
