Berserk God of War

Chapter 809: Chapter 809 Normal People’s Thoughts

And Sikong Jing was stunned, finally understanding why Hua Lidian chose to die to protect him.

Because he was investing in his daughter’s future, investing in the future him...

Hua Lidian believed that he could become a true powerhouse in the future and fight for his daughter.

Because here, he would owe Hua Lidian a life, owe a father a life exchanged for his daughter, and he would have to protect Hua Meixi, have to fight for Hua Meixi.

Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing’s heart was shaken and trembled, solely for the father’s stubbornness and determination.

At the same time, Hua Lidian is not only investing in his future but also trusting his character.

Suddenly, Hua Meixi sneered again, ”Hua Lidian, you underestimate me.”

”Do I, Hua Meixi, have to fall to the point where I need you, a person from the East Plain Northern Land, to protect me?”

”He thinks highly of you, yet not of his own daughter. Isn’t that ridiculous? Aren’t I pathetic?”

With Hua Meixi’s words, Sikong Jing instinctively raised his head...

He could see the hatred Hua Meixi had for Hua Lidian.

It seems Hua Meixi is just like Su Yue Immortal back then, having significant conflicts or misunderstandings with their fathers.

But how is this ridiculous or pathetic? It’s just a father’s love...

However, Sikong Jing also understood that whatever he said now would be useless as he had no idea what had happened between them.

Thinking for a moment, Sikong Jing replied with a smile, ”Mr. Hua’s good intentions are appreciated, but I won’t accept them.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Meixi dumbfoundedly stared at Sikong Jing, realizing that claiming to strongly support Hua Lidian was because he was her father, and by common reasoning, she could not possibly abandon him.

Now that it’s been made clear and she sees a ray of hope to survive, why does he still give up?

Shouldn’t he be pretending to be grateful and swearing to dedicate his life to repay his father’s kindness, then swear to protect her with his life?

At this moment, Hua Meixi was full of incomprehension, full of confusion.

”Why?”

After thinking for a long time, Hua Meixi asked why again, really unable to understand what Sikong Jing was thinking.

Sikong Jing tilted his head and replied with a smile, ”Just what I said just now, Ren Dongmeng was originally killed by me. How could I let Mr. Hua bear the blame? Isn’t this what a normal person should do?”

With these words, Hua Meixi opened her mouth but couldn’t speak.

”Besides, isn’t the favor Mr. Hua wants me to owe too much?”

”A daughter should still be protected by her father.”

”Even if he can’t protect his daughter now, a father, no matter how weak, is still a father, and having him by your side is a very happy thing.”

Saying this, Sikong Jing thought of his own missing parents, his heart filled with bitterness and longing.

After so many years, he also longed to have his parents by his side.

Then, those final words made Hua Meixi’s face change dramatically, and she shrieked sharply, ”Happiness? Who says so?”

Sikong Jing slightly raised his eyes, but since he already knew there must be conflicts and misunderstandings between them, he was disinclined to say more, ”Lastly... if you don’t strongly support me, I might not necessarily die; I have my own confidence.”

It seems that because of the above words, which made Hua Meixi’s anger and resentment erupt together, these words made her very angry.

”You have confidence? What kind of confidence do you have?”

”When facing decision-makers of the East Plain Northern Land and East Plain West Land, you dare to say you might not die?”

”Heh heh, I understand now.”

”My useless father, yes, he cherishes talent, but maybe his judgment is inaccurate, perhaps he’s been deceived by your boasting. How can a little person from the East Plain Northern Land say they can protect me in the future?”

The last sentence was almost said through gritted teeth, a look of disdain toward Sikong Jing in the words.

Hua Meixi was here to test Sikong Jing’s character because she hadn’t decided who to strongly support yet.

According to her original intention, if Sikong Jing was not worth supporting, she certainly would not protect him... but now it turned out she was unknowingly led by Sikong Jing’s demeanor to expose her inner irritability and emotions.

Suddenly, Hua Meixi was no longer composed.

However, Sikong Jing was still not angry.

Clearly, Hua Meixi carried enormous personal emotions, and explaining anything in this situation would be useless.

So Sikong Jing nodded and said, ”Then just think of me as boasting; anyway, Captain Hua, just protect Mr. Hua, don’t mind me.”

After saying this, Sikong Jing clasped his fists and said, ”Please also thank Mr. Hua for me, Captain Hua.”

Smiling, he stepped past Hua Meixi and walked into the Immortal Treasures Building, while Hua Meixi did not stop him, instead standing still with a face full of anger and resentment...

For some reason, Sikong Jing’s calmness and flamboyance only made her... even angrier!

Inside the Immortal Treasures Building, Sikong Jing saw Lang Zhengzhi and Lang Yisuo.

Before he could speak, Lang Zhengzhi looked at him with a complicated expression, sighed, and said, ”Young Sikong, talk with Yisuo first, I’ll go out to entertain Captain Hua, and we will talk about your matter afterward.”

Sikong Jing nodded and casually found a place to sit down.

Before Lang Zhengzhi could leave, Lang Yisuo said anxiously, ”Junior Brother Sikong, this rare opportunity, you...”

Before he could finish, Sikong Jing interrupted him, ”Regardless of whether I have assurance or not, do you think I am someone who survives by any means necessary?”

When he finished speaking, Lang Zhengzhi, who was about to leave, was shocked, old fists tightly clenched.

At the same time, Lang Yisuo opened his mouth, full of emotion.

Yes, if Junior Brother Sikong were someone who doesn’t dare to take responsibility, someone who disregards relationships to secure a life, then the current Long Night Saint Dragon Palace wouldn’t exist.

Nor would there be the current Long Night Empire, let alone himself and Senior Brother Qin Lao and others.

It was precisely his spiritual power that influenced everyone, inspiring them to go all out.

”Junior Brother Sikong, are you really confident, even bearing the guilt, that you can resist the Overlord Commerce?” Lang Yisuo asked again.

Sikong Jing smiled and replied, ”Of course, provided there’s a million mercenaries at hand, this still depends on Senior Brother Lang and Uncle Lang.”

To this, Lang Yisuo hurriedly expressed that he had already contacted a mercenary group, promising no issue.

Sikong Jing and Lang Yisuo continued chatting here, while outside the Immortal Treasures Building...

Lang Zhengzhi walked up behind Hua Meixi and gently said, ”Captain Hua, I said before, Young Sikong would not accept Steward Hua’s kindness, do you believe it now?”

Before Sikong Jing arrived, Lang Zhengzhi and Lang Yisuo had already said.

Sikong Jing definitely wouldn’t accept strong support at the cost of Hua Lidian, but Hua Meixi insisted: Impossible!

She also said she wanted to find out for herself, which led to the earlier conversation between her and Sikong Jing.

”Isn’t a normal person’s idea selfish and unscrupulous, resorting to any means to stay alive?”

Hua Meixi, no longer angry as earlier, was instead asking in a hoarse voice.

Lang Zhengzhi understood what she meant because just now Sikong Jing said it was he who killed Ren Dongmeng, how could he let Hua Lidian take the blame?

He also said this is the normal human thought.

”Why did Hua Lidian and Sikong Jing choose to protect each other, surely they aren’t normal, right?”

Before Lang Zhengzhi could answer, Hua Meixi suddenly turned around, staring at Lang Zhengzhi with reddened eyes.
