Chapter 180: The Fate of an Egg, Chen Shisan: How would the gentleman choose?
Chen Changsheng and the True Martial Sword’s small actions went unnoticed by Chen Shisan.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the sedan chair before him.
After a moment of silence, Chen Shisan finally lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
But after seeing the scene inside the sedan chair, Chen Shisan’s pupils suddenly shrank, despite facing life and d*ath without fear.
bl**d!
There was bl**d everywhere in the sedan chair; Ao Xue Hongmei’s face was covered with deep, bone-deep scars.
“Oh my!”
“An unparalleled beauty has turned into a hideous monster!”
An inappropriate voice entered Chen Shisan’s ears.
Glancing at Chen Changsheng, who had inexplicably appeared beside the sedan chair, Chen Shisan really wanted to strike him with the True Martial Sword in his hand.
Facing Chen Shisan’s gaze, Chen Changsheng said disdainfully, “Why are you looking at me? It’s just that she has become a hideous monster.”
“And besides, why haven’t you gone to find a doctor for your beloved who has been so badly injured?”
“Hongmei isn’t dead?”
Chen Changsheng’s words stirred excitement in Chen Shisan.
“When did I ever say she was dead? Even if you lack experience, you should have some common sense,” he said.
“She only cut her own face, as long as the bleeding is stopped in time, there’s a high chance she won’t d*e.”
“But if you delay any further, she will truly d*e.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan immediately picked up the bl**d-covered Ao Xue Hongmei, ready to seek out a doctor.
But looking around, he realized that everyone in Gold Mountain City was already unconscious. Where could he find a doctor?
“Come and take a look!”
“Hereditary golden wound medicine, specializes in treating slashed faces, no cure, no money.”
A stall suddenly appeared on the roadside, where a “traveling doctor” was energetically hawking his wares.
Even more absurdly, he had put up a sign detailing the “effects” of the golden wound medicine.
Chen Shisan: “…”
I swear, I really want to curse right now.
“Phew~”
Chen Shisan made an effort to calm himself and spoke.
“How much do you want for your golden wound medicine?”
“Not expensive, just one hundred pearls, ten thousand taels of gold, plus a box of jewels.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisan’s mouth twitched.
“I know your situation better than anyone, there’s no need to set such a high price if you want to make things difficult for me.”
“I know how much money you have, and I also know you can’t afford it.”
“Although you don’t have it, Ao Xue Hongmei does!”
“I personally counted the Zhao family’s dowry.”
Chen Shisan: “…”
Is this what an immortal’s face looks like?
Why is it so different from what I imagined.
…..
Three days later.
“Stop looking, have you given up?”
Chen Changsheng urged the Chen Shisan under the tree, but Chen Shisan’s gaze remained fixed on the distant thatched cottage.
After a long silence, Chen Shisan spoke.
“Gentleman, why doesn’t Hongmei come with me?”
“It’s normal that she doesn’t come with you, because she never intended to come with you from the beginning.”
“Why?”
Facing Chen Shisan’s confusion, Chen Changsheng stepped forward and patted the head of this “bewildered” young man, saying,
“Young man, you two are from different worlds, so you were destined to part ways.”
“Is it because of cultivation?”
“No, even with your talent, few are worse off than you.”
“Ao Xue Hongmei may not have much talent either, but she is still slightly stronger than you.”
“Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, I don’t mind teaching another.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng paused, then leaned close to Chen Shisan’s ear and said,
“Though I don’t want to be so direct, there are some things I must say, or you might not understand.”
“Ao Xue Hongmei, as the top one, although it seems she has no choice, she actually does have a choice.”
“She could use d*ath to prove herself, but she didn’t.”
“Now, she is indeed not bowing to fate, but rather fighting against it.”
“As long as she loses once, she will never have another chance to turn the tables.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan turned his head and said,
“But if Hongmei chooses d*ath, how is this result any different from divine will?”
“There is indeed little difference.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng took a step back, spreading his arms.
“Do you feel the power of fate now?”
“Fate always leaves people helpless. Everyone wants to sever their fate, but how many people can actually sever their fate?”
“Although I wish you could sever your fate, I don’t know what it means to sever one’s fate.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan lowered his head in thought and said,
“So what am I doing now?”
“It counts as not being defeated by fate, but whether I will be defeated in the future, I’m not sure.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Chen Shisan looked at the distant thatched cottage and seemed to have realized something.
“Is this the reason why Hongmei disfigured herself?”
“Yes, Ao Xue Hongmei disfigured herself not to reject Zhao Ke, but to reject you, who doesn’t value your life.”
“She wants you to forget her and start anew.”
After listening, Chen Shisan fell silent again.
“Gentleman, let’s go.”
Said lightly, Chen Shisan turned and left.
No one knew what this stubborn youth was thinking at this moment.
Seeing Chen Shisan’s silence, Chen Changsheng followed with a playful smile.
“Alright, kid, you should be content to meet such a woman in life.”
“All relationships ending perfectly is impossible.”
“At worst, I’ll introduce you to a few fairies in the future.”
“Really?”
Chen Changsheng: ???
“Kid, I always thought you were a romantic, but I didn’t expect you to be such a heartless radish.”
“Even if you’re heartless, you still need to grieve for a while before starting over.”
“Right after leaving, you start planning this matter, which is somewhat ungrateful.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s surprised expression, Chen Shisan said calmly, “Gentleman, do you have someone you like?”
Chen Changsheng: “…”
“What are you asking for?”
“I want to know, if the person you like were to do the same thing as Hongmei, how would you choose?”
Facing this question, the usually optimistic Chen Changsheng fell silent.
He thought of someone from a long time ago.
When she died, she also said something similar.
But even now, Chen Changsheng still didn’t know how to face this issue.
“Laughable, I, Chen Changsheng, roam freely between heaven and earth, how could I be trapped by such a trivial matter?”
“My red acquaintances could line up from here to ten thousand miles away.”
“Has the gentleman ever spoken to them about liking them?”
Chen Changsheng: “…”
Why didn’t I notice how sharp-tongued you are before?
“Mind your own business, kid! Shut your mouth!”
Chen Changsheng threw an egg to Chen Shisan and walked away angrily.
Looking at the egg in his hand, Chen Shisan smiled.
Because Chen Changsheng was the second person to give him an egg.
Ten years ago, an egg saved his life.
Ten years later, he received another egg, and this egg completely changed his fate.
