Liu Sanniang smiled faintly. “The next time someone goes up the mountain, there’s no need for them to clear out a path.”
Lin Jie frowned unhappily. Liu Sanniang made it sound like he had done a good deed by tearing down the trees.
Lin Jie seemed to be deliberately going against Liu Sanniang. He raised his hand in the direction he came from and countless thorns grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After doing all of this, Lin Jie looked at Liu Sanniang angrily and raised his chin, as if he was showing off.
Liu Sanniang only smiled faintly. There was actually such pure land on the mountain peak. Standing here, one could see the endless mountains and rivers. It was quiet and comfortable.
After Liu Sanniang sat down, she said, “Jie, come and sit down.”
Lin Jie frowned. He looked at Liu Sanniang and felt a little puzzled. He walked over and lay down instead of sitting down, using his actions to tell Liu Sanniang that he was not someone she could order around.
Liu Sanniang glanced at Lin Jie and couldn’t help but smile.
Lin Jie glanced at Liu Sanniang and saw that she was smiling. Lin Jie frowned. “What are you smiling at?”
Liu Sanniang looked into the distance and said slowly, “1 smile when I’m happy.”
Lin Jie sneered. “1 wonder how long you can smile.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Lin Jie. Lin Jie was just a 12-year-old child. His face was still childish, but he no longer spoke or did things like a child.
Being sized up by Liu Sanniang, Lin Jie felt uncomfortable. He glared at Liu Sanniang fiercely, his eyes turning red. “What are you looking at?”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Was the wish you made to him to be omnipotent?”
Being omnipotent meant that there were endless possibilities.
Lin Jie’s eyes were filled with anger. He said coldly, “If 1 was omnipotent, 1 wouldn’t need to beg you at all. If I wanted to save my parents, 1 would have succeeded long ago. I don’t need to beg others.”
The wish he made was to be omnipotent, but it did not come true at all.
Liu Sanniang looked at Lin Jie seriously and said, “Your wish has been fulfilled, but you’re still growing.”
Lin Jie looked at Liu Sanniang intently and tried to see a teasing look on her face. However, no matter how he looked at her, he could only see sincerity from Liu Sanniang.
Lin Jie did not understand. “Why are you telling me this? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll become too powerful? I, I’m… Forget it, what you think doesn’t concern me.”
Lin Jie was frustrated. There was no need for him to talk to Liu Sanniang. He just needed to focus on his goal.
Liu Sanniang smiled gently. “Didn’t we make a bet? Don’t you want to experience it yourself?”
Lin Jie looked at Liu Sanniang. “What do you mean?”
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Lin Jie’s hair. “Close your eyes and become one with the world. You can sense and know everything.”
Lin Jie listened to Liu Sanniang’s guidance and calmed down. Gradually, everything around him seemed to be different.
The wind was sweet, and so was the air. Every tree was waving its branches, looking like they were dancing.
Lin Jie was immersed in it until he was patted gently. “Jie.”
Only then did Lin Jie wake up from his dream. He looked at Liu Sanniang beside him. “Why did we become like this? What are we?”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “We are this world.”
She patted his shoulder. “Let’s go.”
Lin Jie could not help but follow. However, when he looked back, he saw himself and Liu Sanniang lying on the grass. Their figures were getting further and further away until they could no longer be seen.
Lin Jie wanted to ask Liu Sanniang where she was taking him, but after thinking about it, he did not ask.
There was the sound of horses galloping. Liu Sanniang had already stopped. She brought Lin Jie to the tree and quietly looked at the people fighting below.
Lin Jie recognized someone at a glance. One of them was Liu Dalang. He smiled coldly. “I saw your brother. He’s dead for sure.”
The team of at most 400 people led by Liu Dalang was facing thousands of the Jin soldiers. Seeing the skirmish, Lin Jie couldn’t help but laugh.
He looked at Liu Sanniang. “You are going to watch him die. Are you sad?”
Liu Sanniang did not speak. Lin Jie frowned. If not for the fact that he could sense that Liu Sanniang was still beside him, he would have thought that she had left.
“Let’s see how long you can remain calm. Even without the cavalry, the Jin soldiers are still not easy to deal with.”
Liu Dalang and the others were tricked by the Jin soldiers.
The ferocious Jin soldiers wanted them all to die here.
Liu Dalang was outnumbered. They had to retreat and wait for reinforcements.
Liu Dalang shouted, “Retreat!”
“General Liu, let’s go east and fight our way out.”
The soldiers beside Liu Dalang roared. The remaining dozens of soldiers immediately fought in one direction. Soon, they fought a way out of the encirclement of the Jin army.
When the Jin soldiers saw this, they immediately took out their bows and loaded the arrows. After drawing the arrows, they aimed at Liu Dalang’s back.
“Swoosh—”
The arrow pierced through the air and hit Liu Dalang’s back, piercing through the armor and entering his body. Liu Dalang’s face turned pale and he staggered. The soldiers beside him cut off the arrow without hesitation..
