Chapter 2720 — Tang Zhi's Refusal
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
While the others were touring Snow Valley, Tang Zhi was sitting cross-legged in her room, but she could not calm her mind to cultivate no matter what. Although she had tacitly consented to finding Wei Zhao a primary wife, hearing suddenly that Wei Zhao had taken one still left her uneasy.
Especially since this primary wife was not Gu Mengyao! If it had been Gu Mengyao, Tang Zhi would not have felt anything particular. After all, before she left, she had already seen the feelings in Gu Mengyao's and Shen Yushu's hearts. That was also why, before parting, Tang Zhi had entrusted Wei Zhao to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
But now it was someone else, a person named Wang Xinyan. Tang Zhi had no deep impression of this person. Though the name sounded somewhat familiar, she could not recall having met her before, nor did she know what sort of person she was.
Never mind. So long as Wei Zhao liked her, that was enough. And since Yaoyao and Xiaoshu had helped vet her, she should not be the sort of girl with poor character...
"Tang Zhi, how about it? Are you finally giving up?" The Grand Elder's voice suddenly came through, giving Tang Zhi a great fright!
Tang Zhi had been thinking about Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan, and had not even noticed when the Grand Elder entered the room. She hastily steadied her feelings and looked up at the Grand Elder. "Grand Elder, actually, I have never held any hope. It has been that way from the very beginning, when I gave Wei Zhao the Forget-Love herb liquid. Otherwise I would not have given it to him. As for whether I give up or not, I only want to remember this memory. I do not want to forget..."
Hearing Tang Zhi's words, the Grand Elder could not help frowning. She found it somewhat hard to understand. "Since there is no hope left at all, why still remember this memory? Would it not be happier to forget? What you are doing only adds to your pain. Is this not seeking trouble for yourself?"
Tang Zhi gave a bitter smile and did not explain. The Grand Elder, who had never experienced love, could not understand the depth of feeling between lovers, nor could she understand such an act of recalling something while knowing it brought pain. So Tang Zhi had no way to explain it to her.
The Grand Elder had grown up in Snow Valley and simply did not know what love was, so it was only natural that she did not understand Tang Zhi.
"Just as well. This time, your three old friends have come here. How about I have them go back and bring a little of Wei Zhao's blood? After you take the Forget-Love herb liquid, you will be able to cultivate with complete peace of mind," the Grand Elder said.
"I do not want it." Tang Zhi shook her head. Her voice was not loud, but her tone carried incomparable resolve.
"Why? That way, you will not suffer pain when you cultivate?" The Grand Elder was utterly baffled.
"This is my own affair. I hope the Grand Elder will not interfere." Tang Zhi's character was stubborn. Once she had made up her mind about something, it was very hard to change—even for the Grand Elder.
"Alas!" The Grand Elder sighed. "Very well, since that is so, I will not force it. But I will help you think of other ways on my end."
