Chapter 303: Hero
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Yi Chengxuan, why aren’t you crying today?” Yue Xin asked deliberately. In fact, she knew very well that Yi Chengxuan disguised himself very well and never cried. Other than crying once on New Year’s Eve last year, he was usually so powerful that people looked up to him.
Sometimes, even if Yue Xin deliberately embarrassed him in front of others, he could still calmly mediate it. His mental fortitude was very strong. If not for Yue Xin’s absolute confidence in her memory, she would have suspected that the scenes she had seen before were just an illusion.
When Yi Chengxuan heard Yue Xin’s words, he turned to look at her. Under the influence of alcohol, Yi Chengxuan’s face was flushed, adding a touch of color to his originally handsome face.
“I knew you would come, so I deliberately held it in.”
Holding it in?
With this thought in mind, Yue Xin placed the food on the table. “Do you want to eat?”
Yi Chengxuan shook his head. “I’ve been wondering when you’ll ask me. It’s actually today. This is indeed the day you’ll choose.”
Yue Xin moved a chair over and sat in front of Yi Chengxuan. She said matter-of-factly, “People’s psychological defense will weaken after 10 p.m. This is what you taught me. Moreover, you will definitely drink today. If I don’t choose today, when else can I choose?”
When Yi Chengxuan heard Yue Xin’s words, he chuckled. “You did remember everything I taught you and even used it on me.”
Yi Chengxuan was very carefree and was not dissatisfied with Yue Xin’s scheme at all.
“Since you know I’ll come, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise.” When Yue Xin promised Yi Chengxuan that she would go to the battlefield, she had agreed with him that after she returned, Yi Chengxuan would tell her why he wanted to be a hero. However, Yue Xin never mentioned it after she returned, and Yi Chengxuan didn’t take the initiative to say it.
Yi Chengxuan knew what Yue Xin was waiting for. He also knew that with Yue Xin’s current ability, suspecting everything had become instinctive, so he had been waiting for today. When Yue Xin was willing to believe him and thought that she had completely controlled him, he would tell her the truth.
“I’ve loved stories of heroes since I was a child, whether it’s one man’s hero or many others.”
“Wait!” Yue Xin interrupted Yi Chengxuan. She took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and adjusted her posture. “Continue.”
Yi Chengxuan was not angry at being interrupted. Instead, his eyes softened. “You’re a little more lively now than when we first met.”
Before Yue Xin could answer, Yi Chengxuan continued, “My family has been in the army for generations, but sadly, in my generation, I don’t even have the courage to enter the army.”
“My father once said that soldiers have to always uphold the belief that they will die to protect the land under their feet and the people living on this land. However, I keep thinking, what about my own life? If I die, won’t my family be sad?”
“I was too afraid. Fortunately, my brother resisted all the pressure and let me do what I wanted to do. I also have an elder sister. She likes the culture passed down by our ancestors very much. The novel things I taught you were all taught by my elder sister. She was a gentle person.” When Yi Chengxuan said this, an expression Yue Xin had never seen before appeared on his face. “However, after something appeared, our lives changed drastically.”
“After traveling through time and space, every country has begun to fight for these illusory words. There’s no need for China to reveal itself at the beginning. ”
“In order to resist the alliance of the Nine Nations, my father and brother all died on the battlefield. My sister, such a gentle person, did not escape when the enemy attacked. She said that she wanted to live and die with the land under her feet. I was the only one who escaped, and I was the only one who survived.”

“I was saved by my father’s last comrade. He taught me something. It was an ordinary-looking crystal the size of a soybean.” At this point, Yi Chengxuan looked at Yue Xin’s heart and smiled unpleasantly. “That’s a medium that can travel through time.”
“From that person’s mouth, I learned my father’s last words: Go back in time and destroy the medium. You must complete the mission.”
Upon hearing this, Yue Xin had already put down the melon seeds in her hand. She looked at Yi Chengxuan with no smile in her eyes. “The thing you want to destroy is in my heart.”
Yi Chengxuan didn’t reply, nor did he look at Yue Xin. He continued, “But I don’t know how to use a medium to travel through time and space. I’ve tried many methods, but they were all useless. In the end, I died on the day the mountains and rivers shattered.”
“At that time, there was nothing in my head except regret. I regretted not growing strong enough. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lived for three years in such an incompetent manner..”
