Chapter 175 The Wedding Day, Chen Changsheng: She’s Going to d*e!
Looking at the already closed eyes of Chen Changsheng, Chen Shisan suddenly felt a sense of unreliability deep in his heart.
As for exactly what felt unreliable, Chen Shisan couldn’t say for a moment.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Shisan ultimately found a corner and drifted off to sleep.
……
The sun was high in the sky.
The whole Gold Mountain City became lively, as today was the wedding day of the Gold Mountain Silver Mountain Manor.
Although it was just a concubine being taken, the event was not small at all.
However, unlike the bustle in Gold Mountain City, Chen Changsheng and Chen Shisan were already fifty miles outside the city.
“Crack!”
A dry branch was snapped underfoot. Chen Changsheng stopped, and Chen Shisan, who was behind him, also halted.
“Proud Snow Red Plum is getting married today.”
Silence!
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Chen Shisan simply stood still.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng looked ahead and continued speaking.
“She is marrying Zhao Ke, the second son of the Zhao family.”
“Zhao Ke is inherently lecherous; this will already be his eighteenth concubine.”
“And his previous ten or so concubines have not fared well because he has grown bored with them.”
“Therefore, it’s evident that Proud Snow Red Plum’s fate will not be very good.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisan, who had been silent, finally spoke.
“When I become stronger, I will save her, and I will save her alive.”
“Not a bad thought, but there’s something I forgot to tell you.”
“For the past five years, I have been observing the two of you.”
“My understanding of Proud Snow Red Plum runs even deeper than yours; she is a more stubborn person than you.”
“She likes you, but she feels undeserving of you.”
“Now that you’re gone, her final worries are gone too; hence, she will not marry Zhao Ke.”
“If I’m not mistaken, when the bridal palanquin stops at the Zhao residence, all Zhao Ke will get is a corpse.”
After hearing this, Chen Shisan immediately turned and headed towards Gold Mountain City.
The entire process showed not a shred of hesitation or any emotion.
What remained was only Chen Shisan’s steadfast gaze.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng immediately followed behind Chen Shisan, chattering away.
“Going there now is useless!”
“The Zhao family is numerous and powerful; you cannot defeat them alone, plus the Zhao family has cultivators. You are not their match.”
“What if this: You ask me, and I will help you resolve everything.”
“That so-called Zhao family, I could make them vanish with just a puff.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Chen Shisan did not slow his pace.
“I will not ask you.”
“Why?”
“This is my business; I do not need anyone’s charity.”
“But if you go like this, Proud Snow Red Plum will d*e.”
“If she dies, then so be it; there’s nothing to fear. If Hongmei dies, I will d*e too; everyone in the world will d*e.”
“d*ath itself is not terrifying. What is terrifying is bowing to fate.”
“Today’s events are Hongmei’s destiny. Even without the Zhao family, there would still be the Wang family and the Li family.”
“Going to save her is also my fate; if I d*e, it just proves my abilities are insufficient.”
“I can fall under fate, but I will never bow to fate, so I will definitely not ask you.”
Hearing this, the corner of Chen Changsheng’s mouth lifted slightly.
“Since you won’t ask me, then we can trade!”
“Just like the deal we reached a few days ago: I’ll help you become stronger, and you help me with something.”
“No need.”
“Why not? A person can have noble bones, but not arrogance.”
“Are you going to stand by and watch Proud Snow Red Plum d*e for your pitiful dignity?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Shisan stopped and stared intently at Chen Changsheng.
“I do not want to see Hongmei d*e; for that, I can pay any price.”
“But I have already made another deal with you; my life and my remaining years no longer belong to me.”
“So, I have nothing to trade with you.”
“Others might use some lame justification to complete a deal, but I will not.”
“Bowing down is still bowing down; no matter how beautiful the words are, they cannot change this fact.”
“I know you will save me at a critical moment because our deal is not yet fulfilled.”
“I also know Proud Snow Red Plum will d*e because I rejected your charity.”
“But one day, I will personally take Hongmei away, even if by then she has already died.”
“Fate can defeat me, but I will not fear fate and seek help from others who serve it.”
“I am like this, and so is Hongmei.”
Looking at the determination in the young man’s eyes, Chen Changsheng smiled, genuinely happy.
“No problem. I have always respected others’ choices.”
“Do what you wish; I will not step in to save you, nor will I save Proud Snow Red Plum.”
“If you truly d*e, I’ll just consider it a loss.”
“Thank you!” Chen Shisan quietly replied, “If I can survive, I will definitely fulfill our deal.”
After saying that, Chen Shisan continued on to Gold Mountain City.
“Wait!”
But before Chen Shisan could take a few steps, Chen Changsheng’s voice rang out once more.
Chen Shisan casually caught what Chen Changsheng threw at him, and upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a sword without a blade.
“You are a swordsman; how can a swordsman not have a sword?”
“I’m not skilled in swordsmanship, so I don’t have any precious swords. You’ll have to make do with this broken sword.”
“However, this is a loan; you must return it to me later.”
After glancing at the broken long sword in his hand, Chen Shisan spoke.
“No problem; I will definitely return it to you.”
After saying that, Chen Shisan continued on to Gold Mountain City.
Looking at Chen Shisan’s departing figure, Chen Changsheng chuckled and said, “System, I never really liked this kid’s stubborn temperament.”
“But now the more I look at him, the more I like him. Perhaps I really have found someone who can defeat the strongest.”
Just as Chen Changsheng finished speaking, an electronic voice echoed in his mind.
“Chen Shisan’s personality is similar to the host’s, which is why the host appreciates him.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s expression immediately dropped.
“System, there’s no need to insult someone like that!”
“I, Chen Changsheng, am adaptable in my actions; how could I be like some stubborn rock in a latrine?”
“Being a curse in a sense, has the host bowed to your ‘curse’ after all these experiences?”
“No, that’s completely a different matter. How can one bow to something like a curse? I can’t just take my own life, right?”
“If I were to take my own life, that wouldn’t be a matter of bowing down; that would mean I have a mental illness, okay?”
“Living alone in an unknown place, spending lengthy years in solitude, that is what bowing to fate means.”
“The host can do this, but you still choose to…”
“Blah, blah, blah!”
“I’m not listening! I’m not listening!”
“Anyway, I am not a stubborn mule; whoever wants is whoever wants.”
Chen Changsheng directly covered his ears and interrupted the system’s words.
System: “……”
Being so flexible for too long can lead to such childish behaviors?
