novelNon-disturbance Is Also A Form Of Gentleness
| ← Ch.1343 | Ch.1345 → |
Gu Mengmeng never expected this story progression, she thought that it would end when the beast attacked the bird.
After thinking for a while, she continued asking, "What about... later on?"
"Later on?" Gregory looked at Gu Mengmeng and had a faint smile when he replied, "There was nothing else. She broke her own wings and was no longer part of the bird tribe. With regards to matters not concerning the tribe, we usually do not ask nor know anything."
Gu Mengmeng thought for a while and nodded."Non-disturbance is also a form of gentleness."
Gregory did not say anything and only lowered his head as he digested Gu Mengmeng's sentence.
He was really... not a gentle person.
Gu Mengmeng leaned against the wall to think for some time, yet she realized that Gregory did not answer her key question, so she asked again."But since the wings are just there, why do we have to wait until the dry season?"
Gregory replied calmly."Motou Mountains is usually covered in thick snow and Love of the Sky is hidden under the piled up snow. Even if the Vulture clan can travel in snow, they cannot find its exact location. So we can only wait until it is the hottest during the dry season, when the snow on Motou Mountains melt temporarily, we can then tell the location of Love of the Sky. Moreover, you can only obtain it at that time."
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Gregory, "The source of Love of the Sky is the wind. Under a colder environment, the wind will then be stronger. Even for me... I would be blown away if I get closer to it during winter. Moreover, there would be small icicles found within the snowstorm. Not only your fragile self, even your wolf partner would be sliced into pieces by those icicles and carried away by the wind before they can even reach Love of the Sky. So we can only wait until the dry season, after the snow melts, you then can get closer to the Love of the Sky. Whether you can brng it away... I cannot promise you. Moreover, in this past thousand years, no one had been up on Motou Mountains, much less to get close to the Love of the Sky."
Gu Mengmeng's mouth widened as she listened. It sounded like a fake warning to be sliced into pieces by ice but with Gregory's stern expression, everything he said sounded very convincing and she could not help but believe it.
After hesitating for a while, Gu Mengmeng said, "Since that's the case, why do we have to stay on Motou Mountains now? Why not we return to Saint Nazaire or Zacharias for the winter? And return when it's the dry season?"
Lea and Elvis exchanged glances, then laughed, "We are naturally just following you. Whatever you say, we shall just do it. It's just that... this trip to and fro will still have to depend on Gregory. After all, we don't have wings, isn't it?"
Gu Mengmeng glanced at Gregory, as if asking him, but he pretended to not understand. He only continued to look at Gu Mengmeng, as though he would just continuing staring unless Gu Mengmeng said something.
Gu Mengmeng cleared her throat and asked awkwardly."Uh... Gregory, can I trouble you to send us back to Saint Nazaire or Zacharias?"
"No." Gregory answered directly.
"Why?" Gu Mengmeng replied instantly.
Gregory looked at Gu Mengmeng quietly and rebuked."Why should I?"
Gu Mengmeng choked...
Right, Gregory was not her partner, neither was he her subordinate, and even not her chauffeur, why should he listen to her orders and send her back in the snowstorm?
