Legend of Dragon Son-in-law - Chapter 2665
Chapter 2665: Chapter 2665: The Little Girl
What is the purpose of living?
Julius Reed kept repeating this sentence.
“But I have to know my past, I have to know my origin.”
He reached out his hand, wanting to grasp the Swordsman’s shoulder in the same way, only to find that it was impossible.
His hand touched the Swordsman and then gently slid down, as if touching air.
He couldn’t grab hold of anyone.
“Answer me. I’ve been watching for so long and still haven’t gotten the answer I want.”
Julius Reed stared at the Swordsman. He felt that if he didn’t get the answer today, he would truly be uncomfortable.
The person he wanted to see, he saw.
And he observed some things that happened to him back in those days.
But the most crucial information was still unattainable.
“What do you want to know?” The Swordsman pointed at Julius Reed, then at himself: “Aside from that stupid question, are you my accident?”
“Why is it a stupid question?” Julius Reed retorted: “Only when I get the answer to this question can I understand my inner struggle.”
“It’s not important; you have seen what you should see and know what you should know.”
The Swordsman shook his head: “Our remaining time is short. If you waste it, you may never see me again.”
With that, he took a sip of wine.
It seemed fragrant, but Julius Reed couldn’t smell the wine’s scent at all.
Indeed, in this world, he was unnecessary.
“Did you take on a disciple named Brigham Reed?” Julius Reed asked.
“No.” The Swordsman shook his head and looked at Julius Reed: “Maybe in the future? But for now, I am alone. I don’t even know what my own name is. But I know I am destined to become that future king.”
The Swordsman pointed to his head: “A king without a crown. I want those emperors to know that there exists someone in this world who can take their heads anytime. Take their lives!”
“As long as they do things that harm the people of this world.”
Upon hearing this, Julius Reed asked again: “Then… how did I meet you?”
“Meeting? I’m not sure, I don’t know. But perhaps, everything that has happened to each person is like a series of images, stored away?”
“Look at the Heavenly Dao.” The Swordsman pointed to the sun in the sky: “Perhaps the light we now see was emitted long ago. What you see now might be something that happened many years ago. As long as the distance is far enough, you can see it.”
“Life is filled with great paths. Stop wasting time and give up pursuing this foolish question.”
The Swordsman carried his sword and slowly left the True Lord’s abode.
And Julius Reed suddenly appeared in the square!
Just like before.
The Book of Creation was still in the statue’s hand, and those scenes continued to appear one after another.
Julius Reed was very confused, deep in thought.
Reflecting on the Swordsman’s words, contemplating everything happening before his eyes.
What exactly is going on that allows him to see the Swordsman’s past?
But then suddenly, a scene surprised him.
It’s Seven Gem Slope!
The painting of Seven Gem Slope suddenly floated out of the Book of Creation.
Julius Reed imitated his previous actions, jumping out directly and crashing into the image.
Sure enough.
Everything changed.
It felt like he had entered into water.
But before his eyes, it was still the Swordsman!
“What’s going on! Why is it you again!” Julius Reed asked in surprise.
“Because… you and I are both the source.” The Swordsman laughed heartily, said nothing, and slowly walked forward.
“Damn it!”
Slap!
Not long after walking, they saw someone by the roadside slapping a woman’s face.
But the people passing by seemed to be used to it, and didn’t care at all.
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t stand the injustices in the world! What does this count as?” Julius Reed pointed to the woman being slapped on the road.
Because he realized this was not an isolated case.
Many women on the streets were being beaten and cursed.
Some were even being toyed with.
“These are all noblewomen.” The Swordsman pointed at the women whose bodies were partially exposed and being wantonly ridiculed by men: “If they weren’t nobility, it might be even worse. I worry you wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
“How could I not handle it?” Julius Reed followed the Swordsman down the street.
At this time, the street was lined with luxurious buildings.
Every mansion was enormous.
“They are treated as breeding tools, as food.” The Swordsman stopped his steps, asking rhetorically: “Do you stand it?”
“But I can’t change anything.” Julius Reed looked at everything in front of him, his heart suddenly filled with sadness.
Women in this world were indeed quite miserable.
“So, let’s not watch anymore.” The Swordsman smiled and walked ahead.
It was an extremely luxurious building.
Imagine.
The people living inside must be top aristocrats.
“To change, one must start from the root.” The Swordsman stood at the door, looking at a little girl kneeling at the entrance.
“I saved one person, but countless others will suffer this way. To change this situation, one must change the rules.”
The Swordsman bent down, looking at the little girl in front of him, “What’s your name?”
The little girl looked only about ten years old. She looked up at the Swordsman, blinked her eyes, and said: “My name is Seven Gem Slope.”
“Seven Gem Slope?” Julius Reed was shocked, but upon looking carefully, she really did resemble her!
Seven Gem Slope!
This is actually Seven Gem Slope?
Then what about this Swordsman?
He said nothing and instead watched and listened carefully.
“Why are you kneeling here?” The Swordsman bent down, his long hair covering his face.
From the first time to now, Julius Reed could not see the Swordsman’s appearance at all.
Almost like, the Swordsman’s face was wearing a mask.
“Because when eating dinner last night, I didn’t wait for my family to arrive.” The little girl spoke, her tears flowing sadly.
Her face was completely swollen.
With clear palm prints on it.
“Then do you want others to wait for you to eat?” The Swordsman asked with a smile.
The little girl thought for a moment and nodded: “I also want to be like my father!”
“No, your ambition is too small.” The Swordsman shook his head and gently touched the little girl’s nose: “You should make everyone in the world respect you. As long as you don’t pick up the chopsticks, they wouldn’t dare to eat. Do you want this?”
“I want!” The little girl thought for a moment and nodded: “Is it possible?”
“Yes!” The Swordsman helped her up, “Follow me, I’ll let you be the first at the table to eat!”
“Okay!” The little girl nodded and followed the Swordsman away.
After they left.
A man came out, full of food and drink, and upon discovering the little girl missing, was somewhat surprised: “Rebelled! Dare to not listen to me!”
“Sir, should I go and find her?” A servant beside him asked.
“Forget it, whether dead or alive. Doesn’t matter!” The man, full of indifference, turned around and went back, “Ha, even dogs know to return home, she’s worse than a dog!”
