Chapter 197: Team..... A Family
Chapter 197: Team..... A Family
Qin's sword returned to his sheath but the killing intent erupting out of him was still massive. The Devil Transformation started to wear off and he returned to his normal self. But, at this moment, his condition was worse. His entire skin was recovering.
When he collided against that Space-Time Bomb, his entire skin was destroyed. But, thanks for Phoenix Bloodline, it is being healed. He slowly floated to the ground and walked in front of Su Ling's body. At this moment, she was drowning in her own blood.
He clenched his fist with anger and frustration in his face.
"Young Master, you can't save everyone. That's just impossible." At this moment, Xiao Lan spoke in his mind.
But, Qin remained silent. Even though they didn't have much of a relationship, Qin still owes her his life but now she was dead and he couldn't even protect her.
"Young Master, don't embrace this killing intent. It will be a power that can indeed help you save people but one day, it will be a poison that will take their lives. I know you hate yourself for not using all this killing intent for the battle but if you had done that, then you wouldn't be the same Qin she used to know."
"And, I don't think this was going to end well even if you save her. They said it was for their revenge and people will do everything to get their revenge. So, even if you had saved her, they would still try to kill her." Xiao Lan continued to convince him when Qin's killing intent started getting stronger.
At this moment, a figure walked behind him and suddenly puts an arm around his shoulder. Yue Bin pulled his head into her embrace and let him rest.
"Don't worry, you can still repay her. And, you can still avenge her. Next time, we will stronger and next time, we can avenge her." Yue Bin muttered as she pats his head.
Hearing her words, Qin took a deep breath and left her to embrace. He looks at her and nods his head. Then, both of them turn around and walks towards others. At this moment, Lan Ming was already up. But, everyone was silent.
As Qin walked near them, Lan Ming lowered his head and opened his mouth "I'm sorry!"
"Don't worry about it, just focus on recovering. Even though Guo Min had his own doubts, even he wasn't sure about this." Qin patted his shoulder and turned around.
"This was our first war as a team. We did win but we also lost. And in war, the loss is inevitable. But, this incident gives us one negative impact. Because of Tian Su betrayal, now all of our heart is messed up. The person who we never thought would betray someone close to him just did that."
"And, this made me learn one lesson. From now on, we are not going to hide anything. Guo Min was suspicious about Tian Su from the Ancient Secret Mansion but he was something Ming truly trusted. That's why Guo Min couldn't bear to tell him about these things."
"He was afraid that he will mess up our relationship. And, it is not his fault for thinking that way. He has his own circumstance and he doesn't want to lose any friends. But, from now on, we are not going to repeat this."
"We met each other during or before the Competition. We fought and we felt each other. We knew only when we are together, we can push each other to the limit. Because in our heart, we have the same thoughts."
'If he can get stronger, why can't I?'
'Hey, did you see that? I just killed a Transcendence Rank Monster. Now, it's your turn. If you don't do it, I will kick your ass.'
"These are the words that constantly bind us together. But, we are just unknown to each other. All of us have different past, all of us have different dream, all of us have different path. So, from now on, we must speak no matter whether we feel bad or good or greedy or satisfied or suspicious about anyone of us."
"Only when we can express our view, we can understand each other better. Our journey is long. Mortal World, Saint World, Immortal World, God's World, Universe, and even beyond universe. This isn't going to end well if we don't even trust each other."
"That's why if you think we are a team, then WE MUST TRUST EACH OTHER."
Hearing his roar, everyone looked at him with a serious expression and nodded their heads.

Somewhere in the desert,
"Hicc! Hicc! Hicc! Hicc!"
"Come on, how long are you going to cry? I mean I do understand your feelings but stop crying already. We can't change what has already happened. Just hit me and accept the fact." Tian Su stood behind Jin Hao and shouted.
Jin Hao had his hands wrapped around his knees and he was crying. The tears didn't dry no matter how much he cried. Hearing Tian Su's words, Jin Hao didn't stop crying.
Love, care, he got everything from his dad. Even though he reincarnated only when true Jin Hao died at the age of eight. He still felt every bit of emotions growing up. His father was an extremely doting father. And, that's what made him feel this life was as good as it could be.
This is why he didn't allow his dad to leave the sect. He knew he could fail and he also knew that he could possibly die. But, he didn't want his father to bear the same fate. He knew Qin and others will leave the Saitou Region after this.
That's why he tried his best to keep his father safe. But, at the end, he still lost. He still lost the only person from whom he had ever felt parental love.
Tian Su standing behind his friend sighed and sat next to him. He puts his arm around Jin Hao's shoulder and said "Do you think we were never supposed to have a family?"
When Jin Hao heard these words, he suddenly stopped crying. His brain started wreaking havoc as more and more memories poured into his brain.
In his first life, he didn't have parents. He didn't even properly remember them. He was taken care of by a girl with the surname Su. But who knew he was just a puppet getting fake love and care for something in return. His father never asked for anything in return.
But, in his previous life, he was living to repay the grace of that love and care. And, he repaid it but at the cost of his life. Tian Su didn't have the better ending either. He was also someone who never had someone he can trust.
He never found someone he can love. He never had someone he can smile too. Living in the darkness, the first friend he made was Jin Hao. They were alike. They shared many things, went through many troubles, and when Jin Hao was almost in front of death, Tian Su sacrificed himself and died.
Jin Hao escaped but he got betrayed by someone whom he thought he need to repay. But never expect to owe her his life. That was the moment he realized he didn't need family. He needed a friend, someone who could understand him, someone who could push him to his limit, and someone who will give him true warmth.
But, after reincarnation, he found his thoughts were wrong. Because it is not that he doesn't need family. It's just that he got the wrong family, a false relationship, and a worse fate.
"Hicc.. Tian, let's form a family!" Jin Hao wiped away his tears and spoke.
"Huh. Are you stupid? We have the same gender." Tian Su scolded him.
"I am not talking about that kind of family. I lost my father. We lost a battle. And, we know why we lost this battle. It's not that we are not good as them. We were outnumbered. Let's find the people with the same mindset as ours."
"There are millions and millions of people. I don't believe that we can't find a family. I want to kill him. No, I must kill him to avenge my father. But, there is more than just him. Su family, Kaitian Race, there are enemies that we must behead."
"We were lucky to get reincarnated with our memories intact but we might not get that lucky next time. So, let's search for people that can be our family. People whom we can depend, people who can put their trust on us."
"Just because you betrayed him doesn't mean you will betray everyone. You sacrificed your life for me and I will do the same. But, we two aren't enough. We need a team, a family that can face them. Next time, we meet them, we must kill them."
Jin Hao clenched his fist as he stared at Tian Su with a serious expression on his face.
Tian Su slowly puts a smile on his face and punches Jin Hao's chest.
"Alright! Let's form a team."
