Chapter 168 - 162 Walk forward, don’t look back
When they went out, Guan Kunling had already finished eating and stood silently by the side, like a straight wooden stake. It is said that those who practice martial arts have particularly strong inner strength, with keen hearing. I wonder if she heard what Meng Shuyan and I were talking about in the room just now. Even if she did, Tian Sangsang has no other way, what’s meant to come will eventually come.
Leaving Meng Shuyan at home, Tian Sangsang took Guan Kunling out of the door, heading out of town.
The scorching sun was roasting this 1980s town, which from a distance seemed like a rectangular gray pencil case. Neat rows of buildings, pedestrians coming and going, and small shops lined the streets. Everyone was dressed "lightly."
Seeing so many differences in the town, Guan Kunling was shocked and asked, "Sangsang, where is this place?" Where have we come to? Why does it feel vaguely familiar, yet I can’t recall?
Tian Sangsang calmly replied, "This is the different time and space I told you about. We are now here. Here, people are not ranked by high or low, nobility or commonality. Everyone can flip their life and become their master. You might not be able to return to your original place." Even the space didn’t record it, and she couldn’t find a way to send her back. Since there’s no way to go back, she could only remain in this time and space.
Images of the paradise-like fairyland and the ethereal clouds in mid-air flashed through Guan Kunling’s mind when she first arrived. The lord had hidden it from her, and she wouldn’t ask more, as that was the lord’s secret.
"Sangsang, wherever you are is my home. Kunling doesn’t mind whether I can go back."
"Now that you’re here, do you have any plans?" Tian Sangsang glanced at her profile and asked. Guan Kunling’s current situation was just like the ancient crossing into the modern era she read in novels. How could an ancient person survive in this strange age? It’s hard! She herself had secrets, so she didn’t intend to kindly take in someone who also harbors secrets. What’s more, this person was an assassin.
Moreover, she really wasn’t her lord, and she didn’t have the responsibility or obligation.
"Kunling wishes to follow Sangsang and the young master, swearing allegiance to death." Guan Kunling wielded her sword, swearing an oath. The series of actions were as smooth as flowing water, showing she was accustomed to oath-making.
