Chapter 226 - Truth
I feel... All my patience has been used up by today. I feel like I've been sitting here by myself for at least two or three hours, but nothing has happened.
Right now, I really admire the ancient emperor. I really don't know what kind of perseverance supported them all to sit there by themselves and read the imperial report, but they were able to read it for so long.
Because the emperor was wearing a crown and there was a tassel in front of him, I couldn't see the emperor's face clearly. Now, because I was extremely bored, I came close to the emperor, wanting to see what this emperor looked like.
However — when I went over, I felt a little unwell.
Why does this emperor look exactly the same as Chen Ye?
Could it be … Was this emperor the person in the painting?
As I thought about it, I stared at the emperor for a long time. The more I looked, the more certain I became that this was the person in the painting.
"What exactly do you want to do? Isn't that you? What exactly did you bring me here to show me? " I felt that I was getting more and more confused. Even if the people in the painting wanted to show me something, I raised my head and shouted.
If it was just to show me that he was identical to the Emperor, I would have seen it by now.
"Don't be in such a hurry. If you want to see the truth, you'll see it soon." After understanding my words, a voice entered my ears.
I was surprised. Initially, I thought that the person in the ancient painting wouldn't reply to me, but I didn't expect that the painting would actually reply to my words.
Since he had already said so, then … I can only continue to wait with my temper.
It's because the person in the ancient painting told me that I will definitely see the truth that I want to know, so … I waited patiently for a long time and finally understood everything.
When I came out of the ancient painting again, my whole body felt a lot heavier.
"Didn't you always want to know the truth? That's what you want to know. " After seeing my frown, the person in the painting said this to me.
Lift your head... Looking at the person in the ancient painting, I didn't say anything.
I never thought it would turn out this way.
Now, I finally understand why Chu Yu wanted to kill Chen Ye no matter what.
If it was me, after going through so much, I'm afraid that the moment I see Chen Ye, I would also start fighting.
However — At the same time, I am also extremely curious about one thing. How did Chu Yu recover his consciousness?
Hadn't he already been demonized? It wasn't easy to break free from the Demonification, then … How had the memories of his past life come to him?
"Why are you telling me so much?" After a long period of silence, I looked at the person on the painting and asked.
I don't understand why he would tell me so much, after all... When Chu Yu became like this, it was also because of his orders.
Right... That's right, I was talking about his order, not Chen Ye's.
Because I know that the only person on this ancient painting is the former emperor, and Chen Ye, although in a certain sense, is also the former emperor, but … After all, he had been reincarnated long ago, so he could be considered a different person.
"Because — when my reincarnation came here, I also let him see what had happened. I wanted him to fulfill my unfulfilled wish to bring Chu Yu here to completely destroy his. However … When he came out, I saw that he had secretly left behind a tear, and I finally understood that I should not force my thoughts on him. Although he was my past, he is not me after all. " After hearing my question, the person on top of the painting remained silent for a long time before sighing and replying to my question.
After hearing the answer from the person in the painting, I didn't know if I should praise him for being able to do such a righteous action.
But I'm also curious how much obsession this is. It has already been tens of thousands of years and his obsession is still with this ancient painting, unable to disappear even after a long time.
"Why did you tell me all this?" After a moment of silence, I stared at the ancient painting and continued my questioning.
I'm curious why the old saying tells me everything, even though... Everything that happened was closely related to me, but... After all, I have already been reincarnated, and this is also a personal grudge between Chu Yu and Chen Ye. If you tell me, it probably won't be of much use, right?
"Because... You want to know their secrets, and I want you to stop them from doing it... I also know that if the two of them were to make a move, one of them will die. Even if he doesn't die, he would at least sustain a severe injury. " After hearing my question, the person on top of the painting stared at me and spoke slowly, word for word.
Every word seemed to smash into my heart, causing my heart to ache.
"I …" I wanted to open my mouth and tell him that my ability wasn't that great, that I might not be able to help, but — I couldn't say anything if I refused, and it stuck in my throat.
I kept asking myself in my heart, I really wanted to see Chu Yu and Chen Ye both suffer from heavy injuries, or maybe... Did one kill the other?
After thinking about this question in my head, I shake my head furiously.
"What should I do to stop them?" Raising my head abruptly, I looked at the person on the painting and asked.
Since I have already made up my mind, I must stop the two of them. Thus, I no longer hesitated.
If I continue to hesitate like this, I'm afraid … Even if I made a decision, it would be too late for me to charge out.
"I don't know what I should do to stop the two of them, but the only thing I know is that you're the only one who can stop them. The rest is up to you." After saying these words to me, the person on top of the painting started to return to his original appearance.
"Hello …" What the hell do you mean? Can you explain it clearly? " I kept asking, but the person in the painting didn't answer. It was as if I had returned to a part of the painting.
