Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 119 Yun Xi's Enlightenment

"Xiao Xi, after the battle at Kunpeng's Nest, the existence behind that kid will definitely not be hidden. By then, I wonder how many forces will try every means to make friends with him, and there will definitely be some forces that want to marry him."

"And the reason I've delayed until now is to create an opportunity for you. You must keep him tonight and capture him."

Thinking of what her grandfather had said not long ago, Yun Xi felt mixed emotions. She was actually a little embarrassed about such calculations.

But what could she do? He was her grandfather, her great-grandfather, and he made such arrangements for the sake of the clan.

Looking at Yun Xi who lowered her head and said nothing, Shi An frowned slightly and then said, "Aren't you a little too docile?"

"Even if the other person is your grandfather, marriage is a major event in life after all. That's the other half you're going to spend the rest of your life with. Can't you be a little tougher and have a bit of your own opinion?"

"I·······"

Hearing this, Yun Xi couldn't help but look up at Shi An, her eyes flashing with complex emotions. She wanted to say something, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't make a sound.

Shi An's words were like a huge rock, stirring up huge waves in her heart and making her begin to reflect on her situation and choices.

But in the end, she still shook her head gently, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "I... I also want to have my own choices, but I am a member of the Celestial Clan after all. Many times, personal wishes are insignificant in the face of the greater good of the clan."

"What's more, my grandfather has sacrificed so much for the people of the clan. I can't..."

Hearing this, Shi An said calmly: "We can't let him down?"

"Ok!"

In response, Yun Xi did not refute, but made an imperceptible "hmm" sound.

Seeing this, Shi An couldn't help but look disappointed. He could understand Yun Xi's helplessness, because every race has its own rules of survival, and the Celestials are no exception.

But he did not agree with her approach. After experiencing the modern information explosion era, he actually had a spirit of resisting oppression and pursuing freedom and equality in his bones.

In his view, personal happiness and right to choose should not be hijacked by ethnic interests, especially in major life events such as marriage.

Marriage should be a choice between two people based on love and mutual respect, not a sacrifice of racial interests or the will of elders.

Finally, Shi An looked at Yun Xi and slowly said, "Yun Xi, I understand your difficulties, but I cannot agree with your choice."

"In my opinion, everyone should write their own life, rather than becoming a pawn on someone else's chessboard. Your grandfather's starting point may be for the Celestials, but that doesn't mean you should sacrifice your own happiness to fulfill his greater goal."

Shi An's voice was gentle but firm. He looked into Yun Xi's eyes, trying to convey his belief to her.

Shi An's words also made Yun Xi's eyes waver. She understood this truth, but her long life had made her accustomed to obedience and putting her personal feelings behind the interests of the tribe.

Seeing that Yun Xi still didn't express her thoughts after talking to this point, Shi An shook his head in disappointment again, then turned around and left without looking back.

"I'll stay tonight, but you really should think carefully about what I say."

Looking at Shi An's receding back and the words coming to his ears, Yun Xi stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

She watched Shi An's figure gradually disappearing into the night, and an unprecedented feeling of loneliness and confusion surged in her heart.

"Can I really do that?"

Yun Xi whispered to herself, her voice echoing outside the empty treasure house, but no one answered.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Yun Xi stood alone outside the treasure house. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on her body, covering her with a layer of silver gauze. She closed her eyes, and Shi An's words kept echoing in her mind.
Those words about freedom, choice, and happiness, like a sharp sword, are constantly impacting her long-standing cognition and constraints.

In the blink of an eye, the sun rises and the moon sets, and a new day comes.

Early in the morning, under the watchful eyes of Yun Canghai and others, Shi An left Tianshen Mountain, accompanied by Yun Xi.

After a night of cold wind, although Yun Xi had not fully woken up, his aura was obviously different.

At least this morning, in Yun Canghai's surprised and delighted eyes, she took the initiative to ask to go with Shi An.

At the foot of Tianshen Mountain, Shi An looked at Yun Xi, who was like a fairy beside him, and asked curiously, "The trip to Kunpeng's Nest is over, why are you still following me?"

However, in response to Shi An's question, Yun Xi stroked her hair and chuckled, "Didn't you say that? Don't just listen to other people's decisions. Have your own opinions."

Hearing Yun Xi's answer, Shi An frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "So your opinion is to follow me?"

"wrong!"

However, what surprised Shi An even more was that Yun Xin retorted without hesitation as soon as he finished speaking: "My idea is not to follow you, but to go to Shi Village."

"I like life in Shi Village. It's full of innocence and freedom, without the cumbersome rules and heavy burdens of the tribe. I want to go there and find back something I've lost, perhaps a love for life, or a desire for simple happiness."

As Yun Xi spoke, a hint of longing flashed in her eyes. She looked towards the distant horizon, as if she had already seen the peaceful and vibrant land of Shi Village.

Looking at Yun Xi's genuine expression, Shi An couldn't help but look at her with a bit more respect.

He originally thought that Yun Xi would continue to struggle because of the pressure from the clan, but he didn't expect that she would be able to find her own direction so quickly, although this direction was somewhat different from what he expected.

Thinking of this, Shi An couldn't help but chuckle twice, then said: "Okay, let's go together!"

"Let's go!"

Seeing that Shi An did not refuse, Yun Xi smiled happily and took out his own treasure.

"boom!"

Not long after, with the help of Yun Xi's magical power, the two of them had left Tianshen Mountain and arrived in the vast mountains.

This is the maximum distance of Yun Xi's treasure, but it is still quite a distance away from Shi Village.

The two of them walked through the lush mountains and forests. The scenery along the way was picturesque, with towering ancient trees. The sunlight shone on them in patches through the dense treetops.

Although there were occasional roars of beasts, shaking the forest, the atmosphere between the two was unusually harmonious and natural. They even smiled at each other occasionally, feeling inexplicably harmonious.

Yun Xi seemed to have really let go of the burden in her heart, and there was a hint of ease and joy in her words.

"roar~"

Suddenly, a roar of a beast came from a distance, causing Shi An, who was not paying much attention, to stop.

For some reason, he felt that the roar of the beast was somewhat familiar.
