When Caspian saw Solana’s back, virtual-novel.net froze. Then, his gaze condensed.
A wound about half a meter long behind Solana’s smooth back, virtual-novel.net skin and flesh were torn, and the injury was so deep that Caspian could see virtual-novel.net bones!
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they might have fainted from the pain of such injury long ago! However, Solana did not even grunt once, and virtual-novel.net even followed Caspian closely with such a severe wound.
Caspian could not help but feel guilty for not noticing Solana’s serious injury. In that instant, the faint thoughts that rose immediately disappeared. Then, Caspian took out a precious pill with a solemn expression and gave it to Solana. After virtual-novel.net ate the medicine, Caspian carefully spread the medicinal powder on virtual-novel.net back.
The medicinal powder was indeed miraculous. After using it on a wound, it would quickly heal. Hence, not only would it not matter if they did not sew the wound, it would not leave any scar after healing. However, Solana would have to maintain virtual-novel.net position and could not put on virtual-novel.net clothes yet. Since Caspian already saw it all, it would be too pretentious if virtual-novel.net were to turn his back around again. Thus, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
To lighten the mood, Caspian asked, “Why don’t you tell me why you chose the Heavenly Stars Sect? If I’m not mistaken, you were already accepted as a disciple by another sect.”
Solana’s body trembled slightly. Then, virtual-novel.net answered, “To find you.”
Caspian did not expect that Solana would give virtual-novel.net such a reply. Initially, virtual-novel.net wanted to ask that to lighten the mood, yet the atmosphere became more awkward than before. Nonetheless, Caspian quickly realized what Solana said might not have the same meaning as what an ordinary person would understand.
Based on Caspian’s understanding of Solana, the young girl’s heart was just like steel. Would a strong person that did not care about pain suddenly soften virtual-novel.net heart and fall in love at first sight?
“To find me? Why are you looking for me?” Caspian frowned.
“Because you killed Zephyr.” Solana turned around and looked at Caspian. Then, virtual-novel.net added in a serious tone, “In a short time, you managed to ascend to Pulse Control Realm. Despite the difference in your realm, you beheaded Zephyr. You have the power that I want.”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Caspian shook his head, “If you want to be stronger, whether it’s the sect you went to before or the Heavenly Stars Sect, there are plenty of resources and techniques to help you become stronger.”
“You’re different from them,” Solana answered.
However, it was obvious that virtual-novel.net rarely interacted with other people, so virtual-novel.net could not find the accurate vocabulary for the moment. Later, Solana just shook virtual-novel.net head. “What you have is what they don’t have, but what I want.”
“What do you want?” Caspian was curious.
“A formidable willpower and strength, so that I can…”
Solana’s face suddenly showed a rare flush, and virtual-novel.net quivered slightly. It was evident that virtual-novel.net was very emotional.
“Change my destiny… For my mother.”
“For your mother…” Caspian was stunned, and virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net was punched in his chest by someone, straight at his heart. At that time, Caspian finally understood why virtual-novel.net had a familiar feeling when virtual-novel.net first saw Solana. Both of them had the same attachment.
“Where’s your mother?” Caspian asked in a gentle voice.
Solana murmured, “She passed away… She died from labor complications while giving birth to me.”
There was a silence between the two of them again.
Caspian understood the pain of losing their own mother. However, compared to Solana, Caspian thought virtual-novel.net was considered lucky. After all, Caspian spent his childhood with his mother, and virtual-novel.net at least had a happy period and memories related to his mother. However, Solana was different as virtual-novel.net never met virtual-novel.net mother. Moreover, Caspian could tell from virtual-novel.net tone that virtual-novel.net seemed to blame virtual-novel.net birth for that incident.
Solana believed that virtual-novel.net killed virtual-novel.net mother.
Caspian could imagine that it was precisely that self-blame that caused Solana to close virtual-novel.net heart, causing virtual-novel.net to be unwilling to communicate with others and befriend them. In the end, Solana ended up like that.
After a long silence, Solana took the initiative to break the silence. Before that, it was impossible for virtual-novel.net to speak up actively.
“My father has been very strict with me since I was a child, and perhaps virtual-novel.net also thinks that I killed my mother. Thus, I want to become strong, so strong that… It’s enough to make people feel that my birth is not a disaster, so strong that no one in the Gibson family will forget about my mother’s existence. If it weren’t for me, Mother would still be living well, and the Gibson family would be filled with virtual-novel.net shadows. Unlike now, where everyone has forgotten about her, and no one remembers virtual-novel.net anymore.”
Solana let out a long sigh as if saying those exhausted all of virtual-novel.net energy. Then, virtual-novel.net leaned against the tree beside her, and there was a look of tiredness on virtual-novel.net face that was never seen before. Solana never said so many things at one go.
Solana’s long and slender legs stretched in front of Caspian, and the minor wounds on virtual-novel.net calves and ankle were almost healed.
Caspian pondered for a moment, and virtual-novel.net said, “You’re wrong.”
“You want to be strong, but it shouldn’t be because you want others to think you’re not cursed, and also not because you want. others to remember your mother. Instead, you should live the way you belong with the life your mother entrusted to you.”
Then, Caspian reached out and drew a few long lines on the ground.
“Look! This is your Gibson family‘s ancestors,” Caspian pointed at the source of those lines and then pointed to the branches, “The ancestors of your Gibson family continued their bloodlines for generations after generations, and your mother’s family is also doing the same. After millions of years, hundreds of thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, from ancient times or beyond and then to the modern times, their bloodline is passed down from generation to generation.”
“During this period, even if there was a problem with the continuation of one of the first few generations, there will be no you, Solana. Hence, you should appreciate the bloodline that your mother left you with. Even if you might not continue it in the future, you must at least let your mother feel that it was worthwhile to give birth to you and that you’ll be virtual-novel.net pride instead of living in virtual-novel.net shadow all your life.”
Caspian took a deep breath and continued, “When virtual-novel.net gave birth to you, virtual-novel.net might never expect you to do something for her. Instead, virtual-novel.net only hoped that virtual-novel.net could watch you slowly grow up, from a toddler to a young lady, and perhaps becoming someone’s wife, or maybe even like what you’re now, embarking on the journey to immortality. However, no matter what the possibility is, it’ ll never include virtual-novel.net being the shackles of your soul.”
Caspian‘s words were like a struck of lightning at Solana’s heart, and virtual-novel.net body trembled slightly. It was so many years, and virtual-novel.net did not remember when was the last time virtual-novel.net cried, but Solana felt virtual-novel.net eyes wear getting warm.
