Chapter 33: Chapter 32: Mist in the Valley
The four of them walked out of the bright light gate, and in an instant, a quiet valley appeared in front of them. The green mountains stood silently like giant beasts blocking the sky, surrounded by a faint morning mist, as if hiding countless secrets. The sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting dappled shadows that reflected their figures. As the gentle wind blew by, the four of them were both hopeful and anxious, as if there was an unknown trial ahead.
Feng Chen paused for a moment, feeling the strong spiritual energy in the air. "This is an unusual place that seems to contain the conflicts and tests deep inside us
Every environment has its meaning, perhaps the fog here will try to reveal our true selves. "Qingluan also took a deep breath, squinted her eyes, and looked around with a hint of vigilance.
Li Xuan looked around and couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression. He had a vague premonition in his heart that there were many confusions hidden in this valley, and it was probably not that simple. We must act with caution, as past experiences have taught us to be cautious at every step
I feel it, "Su Yao frowned slightly, as if hearing some whispers. The atmosphere in the environment made her involuntarily focus on the depths of her heart. She knew that this was not just a place of trial, but also a trial of her soul. We need to unite and support each other
As they cautiously walked towards the depths of the valley, the mist around them began to rise quietly, as if consciously twisting, covering up the path ahead of the valley. The whispers in the mist became clearer and clearer, as if conveying something. Li Xuan thought to himself that this whisper sounded like a echo from the bottom of his heart, as if it was revealing the inner conflicts they couldn't escape.
Li Xuan, you have to face the shadow in your heart. "The whisper gradually turned into a clear tone, revealing a kind of insight. Your father's expectations, you will never be able to escape
I don't want to be bound by these constraints anymore! "Li Xuan looked up and stared directly at the misty emptiness in the air, his voice surging like a raging wave. He clenched his fists tightly, his palms turning white with force, and his heart was filled with anger, feeling increasingly oppressed by the burden of the past.
You're still stubborn, why don't you try to understand your father's expectations? "Whispered again, like a ghost hidden in shackles. Father's love is like a mountain, why do you refuse to inherit all of this
Jealousy and hatred intertwined, and this voice kept echoing in Li Xuan's mind, making him even more anxious. The father in his memory, with his serious face constantly appearing in his mind, had nothing but lofty expectations and unattainable standards.
I always try my best not to fail, but I have become the object of my own hatred! "Li Xuan vigorously refused, and the flames in his heart spread throughout his body, passionate and firm. What I want to do is myself, not a shadow that doesn't fit my heart
So, how should you face those expectations? "The voice gradually became dazed, but still carried a sense of intimidation." Do you really have the ability to reject those expectations
Why can't I? "Li Xuan's heart suddenly accelerated, becoming more determined, and his eyes were as sharp as blades. I will find my own path in this world and create my own glory
At the same time, Qingluan also felt a touch in her heart. She knew Li Xuan's inner struggle and tried to comfort him, 'Li Xuan, don't be afraid of those expectations anymore. We are all striving to cast off the invisible shackles. Your path is closely related to us, and if we walk hand in hand, we will be fearless!'
As she spoke, a vague figure gradually condensed in the mist, which was Li Xuan's father. Without a doubt, it was the oppression in his heart. You will always be a part of my Li family, avoiding it won't solve the problem
I am not avoiding, but pursuing my own beliefs, pursuing my true self! "Li Xuan took a step forward, fearlessly confronting the figure. His heart was filled with steadfast courage, and this courage was the crystallization of the years they had walked together, forged with laughter and tears.
Upon seeing this, Feng Chen immediately stood next to Li Xuan and encouraged, "We must use this to liberate our uncompromising regrets, rely on this trust and courage, resist the inner fog, and fight together
As Feng Chen stood out, Qing Luan and Su Yao also approached one after another, allowing the light of each soul to gather into strength and condense into an invisible barrier. The four stood side by side, resisting the mist and whispers from all directions. The resonance of the four hearts is like four streams of light, gradually tearing apart the mist.
At this moment, the fog surged even more and doubled towards them, as if trying to tear apart the trust between each other. With the howling wind, other entanglements and conflicts emerged faintly in the darkness of the valley.
Qingluan, since you have chosen your own path, don't you miss the future I chose for you anymore? "Suddenly, a simple and elegant figure appeared in the mist, which was Qingluan's mother, with a noble temperament and a look of reluctance and care in her eyes.
I have never thought of completely abandoning the memories of the past, but I hope to create my own life. "Qingluan's heart began to fluctuate. She deeply understood her mother's heavy expectations, but her inner determination allowed her to face them. I am willing to carry everything you have given me in my pursuit, rather than being a dependent
However, are you really ready to face this difficult road? Do you have the courage to bear the loneliness and grievances of embarking on this path of seeking yourself alone? "The voice was soft, but questioned Qingluan's choice.
In an instant, Qingluan's consciousness began to blur, as if she had returned to the years when she could still rely on maternal love. At that time, she had endless longing and hope in her heart. However, reason always kept her direction clear, and Qingluan struggled in her heart: "I am willing to balance this expectation and pursuit, and my mother's care for me also makes me more steadfast
Relying on your growth to fulfill me, "Qingluan's eyes showed resilience and tenderness. She lifted her head and opened her hands to her mother, facing the looking back figure." I will strive to become a better person than you, and not be bound by the past
At the same time, Feng Chen and Su Yao also awakened in the mist, and those invisible entanglements made each other's hearts extremely heavy. They were determined to face this pressure together.
Everyone has their own pursuit, and your happiness and perseverance are also the deepest beauty in my heart, "Feng Chen said in a deep voice. His eyes showed anticipation, and in the face of all confusion and anxiety, his beliefs became even more firm." We support each other, and only through unremitting efforts can we turn intangible entanglements into strength
Su Yao nodded slightly, and a warm light flashed in her eyes. We are willing to share each other's pain and expectations together, and no one will be forgotten. The ultimate destination is unity and strength
As the four lights interweave like a galaxy, their cohesion becomes more prominent, and the voices of debate in the mist gradually subside. The four feel the power of unity, like an eternal flame of the soul, which can rise up a heat wave of light and expel the darkness from the invisible.
Just as the fog began to dissipate, a mysterious relic appeared ahead, a circular theater like building standing in the valley, covered in moss, and filled with ever-changing runes and ancient texts. This relic seems to carry a long history and civilization, permeated with an ancient atmosphere.
What place is that? "Li Xuan felt a shock in his heart, and the desire to explore surged within him, letting his intuition tell him that this was the key place for their future. Perhaps this is our most important next step
The space here carries our memories and the heavy burden of the past. Getting close to it should reveal the true trials in our hearts. "Qingluan slowly took her steps towards the ruins, some cautiously, but also full of anticipation.
They embarked on the path of progress, gradually approaching the ruins, and the fog around them began to slowly fade away as they approached. Suddenly, the four of them became even more determined in their hearts. Along with it came a warm glow, a power that came from mutual trust.
We've arrived! "As they stepped onto the ground of the ruins with their legs, memories of the past conflicts and heartaches emerged before their eyes.
This is our shared memory! "Su Yao whispered, her gaze fixed on a stone monument that remembered their past, with four names shining on it like stars in the morning light.
Yeah, all our decisions and choices converge here. "Li Xuan clenched his fists and gazed at the inscriptions, which condensed the imprints of spiritual trials and were the expected place for each other to restart.
Feng Chen smiled gently, which was a firm and unyielding belief in the future. Here, we will face the final test and showcase our inner strength and tolerance
As everyone poured their thoughts into the stone monument, suddenly, the entire valley was once again enveloped in radiance, transcending the mist and turning into light. Their hearts gradually intertwined into an unstoppable light.
At this moment, the air surrounding them became increasingly strong, as if trying to awaken the souls that had been sleeping here for a long time. The four people's gaze became increasingly firm, as if countless days of exploration and trials were about to reach their peak at this moment.
As the light rose, the runes inside the ruins began to flicker, as if responding to their inner calling. On that heavy ground, a brand new door emerged, its light piercing through the darkness and transmitting a clear glimmer of hope, as if conveying a final invitation.
No matter what lies ahead, we will face it together! "Feng Chen whispered, facing the soon to be revealed mystery. Crossing that door, their hearts had no fear left, only the desire for pursuit and adventure. At this moment, the four of them have opened their spiritual paths to the future.
As the four of them gathered their hearts and stepped into the unknown light, the trials and challenges of the future still awaited them. Perhaps the road ahead was a brand new beginning and a beautiful ending to each other's achievements. At this moment, there is no fog in their hearts anymore, only firm trust and endless expectations for each other, as if they are willing to fight for it for the rest of their lives.
