Chapter 226 Ximen Tianyu's Choice
"The reason why the Dao League sent people here is because of the pure Yangyan in me...Tushan should not be implicated..."
Ximen Tianyu struggled to sit up. Although his body was still weak, his eyes were unusually firm.
"Sister Yaya, Sister Cuiyu, although I, Ximen Tianyu, am not from Tushan, I have regarded Tushan as my home since I was saved by you. I cannot watch Tushan fall into crisis because of me. I am willing to bear all this as long as Tushan can be safe."
Tushan Yaya heard this and suppressed her emotions, not letting them burst out. She turned to look at Cui Yuling and said in a suppressed tone: "Sister Cui, can you please step aside for a while? There are some things I want to talk to him alone."
Seeing this, Cui Yuling nodded gently, with a touch of tenderness and understanding in her eyes. She stood up, patted Tushan Yaya's shoulder gently to comfort her, and then quietly left the medical room, leaving the space for the two of them.
The atmosphere in the medical room suddenly became a little heavy and private. Tushan Yaya looked at Ximen Tianyu's face, which was slightly pale due to pain, and felt mixed emotions. She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound more stable: "My sister, Rongrong, and I were all born from the Bitter Love Tree, so we were born into the royal family of Tushan. The nanny at that time told us that our responsibility is to protect Tushan and the creatures on this land from war and suffering. My sister and Rongrong also took this as their goal and have been practicing hard under the Bitter Love Tree."
"But I am different. I can't stand the boredom of cultivation. I always like to go to the back mountain to play with those flower fairies, or even sneak into the human world, which is considered a forbidden place by my nanny, to experience those new and interesting things."
At this point, Tushan Yaya's eyes flashed with a trace of nostalgia: "Until one time, I was caught playing secretly by my sister, and she punished me to be locked up in the confinement room for hard training. When I came out, my sister's demonic power suddenly increased a lot, far exceeding that of the demon foxes of the same age, and even had a tendency to surpass the elders in the tribe. But from that time on, there was no smile on my sister's face anymore, and she even stopped talking..."
"At that time, I knew that something must have happened during my retreat. I also tried to ask my sister and Rongrong, but they were unwilling to tell me..."
“That was the first time I felt lonely, as if, without realizing it, I had become alienated from their world.
Tushan Yaya's eyes became deep, as if she had penetrated the long river of time and returned to that dusty memory: "In order to let them tell me what happened, I began to practice desperately, trying to prove myself with my strength and share those unknown burdens. But no matter how hard I tried, my sister and Rongrong were always unwilling to mention that matter to me."
"Maybe they want to protect you."
Seeing the complex emotions in Tushan Yaya's eyes, Ximen Tianyu spoke softly, trying to comfort her in his own way. "Everyone has their own secrets and responsibilities. Maybe they think that you don't need to face those heavy things at that time."
"Of course I know why they do this, but if it were you, would you just accept it so blindly? Would you be willing to be in a protected role all the time and not be able to really participate in the things that are most important to you?"
Tu Shan Ya Ya's eyes flashed with stubbornness, and she continued: "What I long for is understanding, to be able to fight side by side with the people I care about, rather than being a bystander who is always blocked from the truth."
After hearing these words, Ximen Tianyu was in a trance and returned to that evening, the figure looking at the sunset and drinking alone in the back mountain. At that time, she also said similar words to him.
"I understand!"
At this moment, Ximen Tianyu suddenly understood Tushan Yaya's consciousness. He just wanted to keep Tushan from being implicated. In essence, he was no different from Tushan Honghong who had shouldered the responsibility alone. They were both protecting Tushan Yaya in their own way, but ignored her real needs and feelings.
"Next time you're in trouble, I'll face it with you." Although Ximen Tianyu's voice was weak, every word was full of determination.
After receiving such a promise, the sadness on Tushan Yaya's face finally eased a little, but what she was about to say next made the atmosphere solemn again.
"Tianyu, Sister Cui has already told me about your injury. She said that your Eastern bloodline was not innate, but was forcibly fused with it by someone using a secret method."
"But you lost too much blood this time. In order to save you, Sister Cui had to use her ability to make your body produce blood quickly. Your own blood diluted the Eastern blood in your body, resulting in insufficient spiritual power in your blood to stabilize the pure Yangyan. This caused the blood conflict."
Tushan Yaya spoke slowly, her voice full of worry and heaviness.
Ximen Tianyu frowned upon hearing this. He had not expected his injuries to be so complicated, and he had not expected it to cause such great trouble to Tushan. "Sister Yaya, I..." He hesitated, feeling guilty.
"I asked Sister Cui, and she said that if you want to resolve the conflict in your bloodline, you can only expel all the Eastern Spiritual Blood in your body. But after that, you may not be able to use the Pure Yangyan..."
Tushan Yaya hesitated for a long time before finally saying the last sentence with difficulty.
She knew what this meant to Ximen Tianyu. She was even prepared to knock Ximen Tianyu unconscious and force Cui Yuling to do a blood transfusion.
At this time, Tushan Yaya finally realized that she couldn't bear to see Ximen Tianyu die in front of her. Even if Ximen Tianyu would blame her or even hate her when he woke up, she had to save him.
But to her surprise, Ximen Tianyu actually smiled with relief after a moment of silence.
"Sister Yaya, thank you for telling me all this." Ximen Tianyu's voice was weak but firm. "I am already very satisfied to wake up again and see you. Although the pure Yangyan is strong, it is only an external force after all. If you can't use it, don't use it."
"But don't you still want to avenge your parents? Without the Pure Yangyan, you may never be able to defeat those people from the Xiao family again."
Tushan Yaya's voice revealed deep worry.
However, Ximen Tianyu shook his head gently and grasped Tushan Yaya's slightly cold hand: "Sister Yaya, I have never thought of relying on Pure Yangyan to complete my revenge."
