Chapter 16 Two Choices
"Yuding, there are two ways to go, one is to go, and the other is what you want to go. You must walk beautifully before you can walk the road you want to take. The road you must take is called life, and the road you want to take is called dreams. Although we can't see where the end of the road is, as long as I If we persist and don't give up, we will definitely find our own way. Just now, you chose to be an ordinary person, unlike what your father said, to be a fairy and a true person. I respect your choice. However, I want to tell you now that an ordinary person is just the way you want to take, the way you have to take, that is, the road you don't want to take, that is, to become a fairy who soars in the sky but is restricted from freedom. It is lonely to walk on this. Maybe, after you embark on this road you must take, you can no longer take the road you want to take, or you may not find the end, but you have a road, which is not as confused as it is now, unlike now, it is difficult to choose between the two roads. Yuding, now, give me an answer. If you continue to insist, I won't blame you. However, once you say it, I'm afraid you can't regret it in your life. Remember. Su Li looked solemn and said something that even he himself was in the fog.
However, he knows that people must have a way, just like his Taoism. It's just like what he felt when he became a god.
If Su Yuding does not embark on the road of cultivation today, then he will eventually go on it one day. Unless he is not Su Li's son.
It's so simple. Su Yuding is facing two choices now.
Cao Qingting heard what Su Li said in the distance, and her body trembled slightly. However, she didn't move, just looked at it like this.
Short silence.
"Dad, I choose that I have to go." Su Yuding said as Su Li expected.
Su Li didn't say anything, slowly got up, patted Su Yuding, who was a little stiff at this moment, and left with a lonely look.
When Su Li went far away, there was a tear in the corner of his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged.
He has hardly cried in his life, and now he is crying for his son.
"Don't blame me, child. I don't want you to take that mortal road. Sooner or later, you will be found by practitioners with your natural aquatic roots. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime. In the end, one day, you have to walk in this strange world and find the road you can never find. Now, I have given you the way to you. It depends on how you go."
Su Li has an indescribable bitterness. Maybe he doesn't even know what it is for. But what he knew was that if Su Yuding did not enter the road of cultivation earlier to gain the strength that made others fear, he would regret it when he was slaughtered by the whole family by practitioners in the mortal empire, or was taken away by the water roots on his body.
He regretted why he didn't practice. If he practiced it, he could protect his wife and children.
He regretted why he didn't practice earlier. If it had been earlier, these people who came to take him away would not have taken him away.
Su Li left, returned to the restaurant, silently made a pot of tea, and looked at the wall in a daze.
When Su Li left, Cao Qingting came to Su Yuding's side, and she also cried.
He knew that once Su Yuding entered the path of cultivation, it meant that he could not turn back. Unless he reaches the level that can be looked up to and reach the level of Suri. However, Su Li can't quit easily now.
All this is a long time, and no one can guarantee what will happen during those long years.
The mother and son hugged each other and cried.
Cao Qingting's crying was expected by Su Li. As for why Su Yuding cried, maybe no one knows except himself. Maybe it's the same as shaking his head firmly after he heard what Su Li said today ten years ago.
Su Li's words made the three of them silent and calm each other for a few days.
A few days later, the three returned to normal.
I don't know why, since Su Li and Su Yuding finished saying that last time, the matter seems to have been lifted, and no one has mentioned it.
Su Yuding's monk was confused, and he didn't know what his father was playing.
Time continues to pass.
Five years have passed again.
Su Yuding is 18 years old.
In the past five years, Moshan City has been a little angry, but it is still not enough to make the once prosperous Moshan City lively again.
In the past five years, except after Su Li and Su Yuding mentioned those words, they have never mentioned anything about practitioners.
This made Su Yuding, who thought he was going to become a fairy, puzzled, and even Cao Qingting didn't know it.
Although Cao Qingting couldn't help asking Su Li at the beginning, Su Li didn't break it. Over time, Cao Qingting saw that Su Li didn't want to mention it. She thought Su Li had changed her mind and was embarrassed to say it, so she didn't mention it again.
Cao Qingting's idea is that he doesn't want Su Yuding to embark on the road of cultivation. Even if Cao Qingting knew Su Yuding's water root, she still thought so.
"The worst is to protect him for the rest of his life. What's this? Who made him my son? This is what Cao Qingting inadvertently said to Su Li.
Su Li was as silent and didn't say anything.
Today, Moshan City is different from before.
It's not because the Laha Empire has committed it again. Instead, a small sect at the junction of Moshan City and the Laha Empire is going to recruit disciples.
Although practitioners are not common in this mortal empire, they will appear. For those small sects, adding some new faces can make their sects strong.
First, it is to take a chance to find some talented people and cultivate talents, which is good for themselves and others.
Second, it is to pull some people into the sect to do cool work. Although they are practitioners, not everything can be solved by magic. Therefore, it is not surprising that every few years, the surrounding sects come to the mortal empire to receive disciples.
This is the immortal called in the mortal empire.
And the people of Moshan City were very surprised by the arrival of these immortals.
Except for some 90-year-old people who mentioned that some immortals had come to Moshan City to receive disciples 90 years ago, they have not obviously come to Moshan City for 90 years.
The sudden arrival of this practitioner immediately excited some families who are proud to be immortals, and some adults are even more happy, hoping that their children will be taken away by those immortals and glorious ancestors.
