Chapter 731 Ling Feng and the So-called Truth
He brought Xiao Xiao here.

He also told his uncle that he believed Xiao Xiao.

He hoped he could help his uncle.

……

But what does this mean now?
Gave uncle hope and then let him down?

……

Xu Zizhen felt a little regretful.

Maybe he shouldn't have brought Xiao Xiao and the others here today just because he was hoping for luck.

……

Did he make his uncle sad again?
……

“It’s in the tree.”

Xiao Xiao did not show any emotion because of Xu Zizhen's questioning tone.

He looked up and met those white eyes.

……

It turned out to be Fengzi ghost.

The old man of the maple tree is in human form, also called the Spirit Maple
……

Long white hair hangs down among the branches of the maple tree.

It is decorated with a few delicate green maple leaves.

It looks like it was picked from a maple tree.

Green and white appear increasingly ethereal and ethereal.

……

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the hair in front of him.

It has a silky, cool touch and exudes a light maple leaf scent.

……

Because everyone followed Xiao Xiao's gaze towards the maple leaves above, no one noticed Xiao Xiao's somewhat strange behavior at this moment.

……

Even though he knew there was nothing on the tree, he had clearly seen it many times just now.

But when he heard Xiao Xiao's affirmative voice, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but look up at the crown of the maple tree.

The light golden sunlight outlined the delicate contours of the maple leaves, shining dots of light before his eyes.

But, there was no one.

Xu Zizhen looked at Xiao Xiao, "Obviously-" There's no one here.

The rest of the words disappeared in his throat when Xiao Xiao looked at him.

The look was calm and even a little cold, but so serious that it was impossible to refute.

What he said is true.

Xu Zizhen understood this point very clearly.

……

Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from Xu Zizhen and looked at Uncle Xu instead.

"Uncle Xu, it has never left."

The maple tree is here, where can Lingfeng go?
……

"Didn't leave?"

Uncle Xu suddenly wanted to laugh. What happened today?

Why can't he always understand what the child in front of him says?
Is it true that the age gap is so big that there is a generation gap?

Didn't leave?

What do you mean she never left?

Since you didn't leave, why didn't you come to see him?
What’s the point of him waiting here for so many years?
What's the point of him talking to himself like a fool?
What does it matter that he has been thinking about it all the time?
Uncle Xu originally thought that her leaving without saying goodbye was the most outrageous thing he could imagine her doing.

However, he found that the facts vaguely revealed by the child in front of him made him even more frightened.

She didn't leave, she just didn't come to see him.

Let him miss her so much.

Back then, he almost went crazy because of her disappearance.

He had planned to confess his love to her right after the college entrance examination.

He thought their relationship was a natural progression.

Because, hasn't she been with him for so many years?
She only ever played with him.

They had obviously always gotten along well.

All of this gave him the illusion that they felt the same way.

She likes him too.

Although she was neither enthusiastic about him nor spoke a word to him.

Even her smile was very stingy. However, he remembered every smile she showed him.

Her eyes and eyebrows were curved, pure and clean without any impurities, so beautiful that he was speechless.

Making her smile has always been his tireless effort and persistence.

After all these years, what he missed most was her smile.

He really wanted to see her smile again.

He had imagined their reunion countless times.

For different occasions and seasons, she wears maple leaf clips of different colors on her head.

The only thing in common was the happy smile on her face when they met.

I believe it is as simple and clean as I remember, or even more stunning.

But the picture suddenly stopped and its original bright colors slowly faded away.

Then, cracks appeared on the screen, and it gradually became fragmented.

It seemed that in the next second, it would turn into millions of pieces and disappear into nothingness.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Zizhen couldn't help but ask.

Worried by his uncle's expression, he held onto his uncle.

I always felt that my uncle was about to collapse.

It is obvious that all these years of denial and waiting did not defeat him.

Xiao Xiao did not look at Xu Zizhen because of his question.

His eyes were always on Uncle Xu's face.

Even though the gentle man unconsciously showed him a pleading look, Xiao Xiao's eyes were calm and he said almost coldly: "Uncle Xu, it has always been there."

"It's just that you can't see it anymore."

"The old man is right."

Zhang Bo and others opened their mouths but did not say anything to stop them.

Although Uncle Xu's condition really looked terrible.

They looked away reluctantly.

Zhang Bo tilted his face slightly and a look of realization appeared on his face.

Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng had expressions that showed "as expected".

They had already guessed the truth of the matter from Xiao Xiao's words.

But when they really heard Xiao Xiao say it, they couldn't help but sigh.

They all wanted to see the monster before, even if there was a time limit.

But now, they are not sure.

What if you develop feelings for a monster after seeing it, and then you don’t see it again?
Just like Uncle Xu.

It was obvious that the monster I wanted to see was always around me, but I had been looking for it for so many years without knowing it.

Such a price is a bit too high.

Xu Zizhen was stunned.

Uncle Xu was also stunned.

There was the same confusion and puzzlement on their faces.

But Xiao Xiao's last sentence made Uncle Xu's eyes gradually become stunned.

Is what the old man said right?

"Don't force it, kid."

"Your fate with that monster has ended."

The old man's hoarse voice echoed in his mind, replaying over and over again.

It was as if someone was hammering these words into his flesh and blood, and even into his soul.

The words that he had previously only half believed and half doubted and strongly resisted and hated, turned out to be the truth that he had always been pursuing.

Uncle Xu looked like he had suffered a severe head injury.

I just felt that my whole brain was dizzy and I couldn't make any sense.

"hehe."

Uncle Xu suddenly covered his face and laughed softly.

"uncle?"

Xu Zizhen shouted worriedly.

Uncle Xu waved his empty hand.

"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences."

There was even a hint of smile in his words, but the hand that covered his face was wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Everyone wondered, were these physiological tears or was this tired-looking man really crying?
Uncle Xu looked at Xu Zizhen on the side and smiled at himself.
