Flower Moon

Hearing this, Tao Yue'er closed her mouth and stopped shouting to Hua Ling opposite.Instead, use your own thoughts to talk to him in your heart.

"Hua Ling, can you hear me?" Tao Yue'er asked cautiously.

"You can hear it." Hua Ling's voice came quickly, which surprised Tao Yue'er.

"We can actually have a conversation like this! In the future, we won't need to speak when we are around others?"

"Yes."

"Can I talk to others like this?" Tao Yuer asked again.

"You can. But it's best not to."

"why?"

"There are not many people in the world who can achieve this level. It's best not to break their original concepts. Don't let yourself become the target of public criticism before you have absolute strength."

"What is absolute strength?"

Hua Ling was silent for a moment and said: "For example...climb the ladder to heaven and become one of the five heaven-reaching ones."

Tao Yue'er nodded and said secretly in her heart: "I understand. Before that, I will hide my strength."

"good."

After Hua Ling finished speaking, Tao Yue'er somehow seemed to still be able to see the corners of Hua Ling's mouth rising slightly, with an expression of a faint chuckle.

At this moment, the window opposite opened. Tao Yue'er raised her eyes and saw Hua Ling smiling slightly.

"Why did you open the window again?" Tao Yue'er asked Hua Ling in her heart.

Hua Ling chuckled and said, "I have taught you ventriloquism, so you can start talking."

"Then what's the use of what you taught me?"

"Language and expressions are the truly effective media for communication when facing a person. Under normal circumstances, if we can sit down and talk face to face, we can enhance our feelings. Ventriloquism only allows us to communicate in specific and inconvenient situations. If possible, I would rather see you face to face and talk to you."

Hua Ling lit incense and boiled tea, and said many words to Tao Yue'er in a gentle and graceful manner.Tao Yue'er didn't know where she got the courage, so she jumped out of the window and landed directly in front of Hua Ling.

"You said you wanted to talk to me, so I came. Is that okay?" Tao Yuer'er asked.

Tao Yue'er is still wearing the silk and white silk dress she bought during the day. The shawl has been removed, leaving only the gorgeous and smooth silk and satin, which outlines her figure perfectly and prominently.The mercerized clothes were completely inconsistent with her movements of climbing over the wall.But it doesn't affect her beauty.

Hua Ling was shocked by Tao Yue'er's series of actions. She stared at it for a long time before saying, "...No problem."

"That's good." Tao Yue'er dug out a cup from the teacup, poured herself another cup, and drank tea with Hua Ling.

Outside the window, the night is as cool as water, and the plum blossoms in the courtyard are blooming proudly against the snow.It’s winter time again.

“I didn’t expect the days to fly by so fast, and it’s already winter in a blink of an eye.”

"Yeah." Hua Ling nodded gently. "After the New Year, it's time for the ladder selection. In the past three years, everyone has been working hard for this matter. I wonder what they have become now?"

She could no longer see the light in Ji Hanyu's eyes.The passionate young man at the beginning lost his edge, and his eyes only focused on safeguarding the interests of the Xuanqing Sect.

Liu Jing... no, let's call him Bai Xiangjing, in order to win the ranking, he did not hesitate to come up with ways to harmoniously cultivate men and women, and also distributed the magic bag to rob others of their power.There is absolutely no insistence on setting an example by a prince of a country.Tao Yue'er also felt sad.

The same goes for Wen Bu Yi.Back then, he was an innocent boy who was willing to give up everything for Le Fangfei. Now he is also fighting for power and strength.

There are many, many people who will not even show up, but if you think about it, they will definitely make more appalling choices and activities in shady places. Tao Yue'er really can't imagine that the selection for the ladder next year will inevitably face a series of challenges. In a bloody storm, even though Hua Ling has taught her some skills, she is still unpredictable when it comes to people's hearts.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm with you, you won't get hurt."

"Injury is not the most painful thing." Tao Yue'er said calmly.

"Then what are you worried about?"

"What I'm worried about is that the people I know will become completely different because of this selection, and they will no longer be the people I know." For example, Ji Hanyu, Bai Xiangjing...

Hearing this, Hua Ling chuckled, shook her head, and said: "People will not change because of one thing, they are just too lazy to pretend. Ultimately, they are that kind of people originally, and it is you who changed them It’s just too wonderful to imagine.”

"...Is that so?" Tao Yuer'er was stunned.

She never thought she would get such an interpretation from Hua Ling.After all, Hua Ling met Ji Hanyu along with her. He knew best that when Ji Hanyu saved him back then, he only wanted to help a stranger. But now he regards strangers as nothing. Isn't this a kind of Change?

"In the face of absolute interests, the evil in people's hearts will be aroused. Everyone in this world has an ulterior side, and no one is willing to expose that side unless necessary."

Hua Ling's tone was relaxed and plain, without any expectation of human nature, but her ordinary tone made Tao Yue'er even more worried.

"What about you? What is the evil in your heart?" Tao Yue'er asked Hua Ling.

Hua Ling's hand while drinking tea stopped in mid-air, and after a moment, she continued to drink tea.After the cup of tea was finished, he looked at Tao Yue'er and said with a smile, "Didn't you already know that?"

Tao Yue'er was stunned.

At first he didn't understand what Hua Ling meant, but then he finally understood that what he meant was that the evil nurtured in his heart was that of a young man in the wilderness.The goddess whom the young man worshiped was Tao Yue'er.Then the dark thoughts of the young man are self-evident - he likes Tao Yue'er, and his thoughts towards Tao Yue'er have developed to the point where he will evolve into a prehistoric monster.

"Why..." Tao Yuer'er didn't understand: "You... like me?"

Tao Yue'er finally asked.

She has always been by Hua Ling's side, treating Hua Ling as almost everything to herself. If Hua Ling likes her, just tell her generously.And why do monsters breed in the dark?As long as Hua Ling speaks, she will respond enthusiastically to Hua Ling. After all... Hua Ling is also the most important and favorite person in her heart!

Hua Ling put down the tea cup and said solemnly: "I like you. But we can't be together."

"Why?" Tao Yue'er didn't understand.

"Because you are going to the ladder to heaven, and I am destined to stay in the mortal world and never be able to turn around."

Hua Ling spoke word by word, her tone helpless and firm.There was a kind of desolation in his eyes, as if he had traveled through thousands of years of loneliness and was not allowed to die.
