Chapter 192: The Last “Opportunity,” Chen Shisan: I Want to Eat Some Buns
After praising Chen Changsheng, Xuanxin continued to speak.
“The second question, how is the person you chose?”
“Did you find a genius even more powerful than Wu Li?”
Chen Changsheng did not answer this question immediately.
After a moment’s silence, Chen Changsheng softly said, “His talent is poor, even inferior to Wu Li’s fingertips.”
“But he is stubborn, to the point where nine oxen couldn’t pull him back.”
“He likes a girl, and for this girl, he would sacrifice his life and everything else.”
“However, when this girl made him forget himself and start anew, he truly did so.”
“He is not subdued by emotions, nor by external things, nor by fate.”
“As long as he chooses a path, he will unwaveringly complete it, even to the point of being somewhat annoying in his stubbornness.”
“d*mn!”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s description, Xuanxin couldn’t help but curse.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, “Even though you’re a monk, don’t use such dirty words, okay?”
“Who cares? What’s the big deal?”
“As someone who has been expelled from the Buddhist sect, do I really care about using dirty words?”
“But the person you chose is indeed interesting, yet such a person will come to a bitter end.”
“Yes,” Chen Changsheng calmly replied, “his future will be bitter.”
“Especially when he meets me, his future will be even more bitter.”
“To tread the Ascension Road, he must abandon many things.”
“This is akin to someone cutting off their own flesh with a kn*fe while still awake.”
“You are truly a beast.”
“I feel the same way.”
With that, both fell silent again.
After a long time, Xuanxin spoke up, “If possible, let him go.”
“In your mouth, he already gets a ‘bitter’ taste, his future will be even more heart-wrenching.”
“I think the same way, so I gave him one last chance.”
“Afterwards, he will head to the Northern Desert on his own. If he fails, then he won’t be so bitter.”
“Also, he hasn’t opened his spring eye yet, he is still just an ordinary person.”
“His two companions are also small fries from the Shore of the Other Side Realm.”
After listening, Xuanxin clicked his tongue and said, “Then they are definitely going to fail. The Northern Desert Buddhist Nation isn’t something you can just barge into.”
“Nor is it something these small fries can handle.”
“Theoretically, yes, but I believe he will succeed.”
“He is someone who excels at creating miracles. To tread the Ascension Road, I need someone who can create miracles.”
“Huh!”
Xuanxin smiled lightly, “This is indeed a perplexing problem.”
“Your judgment of Chen Changsheng has never been wrong, so they are destined to succeed. In other words, the person you chose is destined to be bound by fate.”
“But miracles are called miracles because someone breaks free from the bonds of fate.”
“Do you think he will create a third choice?”
“I don’t know. If I knew, it wouldn’t be called a miracle.”
With that, Chen Changsheng vanished, leaving only Xuanxin standing there with a smile.
…
Central Courtyard.
Jiang Feng’s coffin was buried back by three people.
Qian Bao’er found a secluded place to sit alone, needing time to digest the information she had just obtained.
Chen Shisan, who had just become a disciple, sat quietly on a hill, polishing two swords.
Looking at Chen Shisan’s calm demeanor, Tianxuan pondered for a moment before sitting next to him.
“What should we do next?”
“I plan to go ahead and eat some buns.”
Facing Chen Shisan’s calm and pragmatic response, Tianxuan laughed helplessly.
“You misunderstood my meaning. What I meant was, what should our next steps be?”
“We’re walking like this for what purpose?”
“To go ahead and eat some buns.”

The same answer, the same light-hearted and indifferent tone.
Only this time, Chen Shisan looked up at Tianxuan.
The two young men’s gazes met; Tianxuan’s eyes held too much within, while Chen Shisan’s gaze remained clear.
After a long time, Tianxuan withdrew his gaze and smiled, “Are the buns ahead tasty?”
“Tasty, because they are meat buns.”
“Then let’s set out quickly, I suddenly want to eat buns too.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan stood up immediately.
“Hold on!”
Tianxuan on the ground finally stopped Chen Shisan.
Looking at the young man in front of him, equally big-eyed yet clear-eyed, Tianxuan asked in confusion.
“Mr. chose you, and he also chose me.”
“We will face many things in the future. Why have you never considered the future?”
“Or rather, have you ever thought about the meaning of what we are doing?”
Facing Tianxuan’s words, Chen Shisan calmly replied, “There are no reasons for many things in this world.”
“I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I know if I don’t eat buns, I will regret it later.”
“Eating a steaming hot bun, traveling through mountains and rivers, and wielding a sword for Mr.,”
“These are the things I want to do. I never considered what they would bring me, nor will I regret my efforts.”
“Perhaps these things are tiring, but they are what I want to do.”
“What I want to do is the meaning!”
Upon hearing this, Tianxuan was stunned.
He never imagined that a young man of such poor talent would say such shocking words.
Carrying a deep-seated grudge, yet having to cooperate with the enemy to ensure the continuation of his race.
Sometimes, Tianxuan would also ask himself if this makes sense.
Is this the only purpose for which I live?
However, Chen Shisan’s words just now had resolved the puzzle that had troubled him.
Yes!
Living in this world, just do what you want. Why bother with so-called “meaning”?
No one knows what the future holds, all one can do is ensure that future self does not regret not doing something.
A traitor or a demon spy.
Let others say what they will, but now he just wants to keep his clan alive, and the Demon Clan alive.
Thinking of this, Tianxuan smiled and stood up, then hugged Chen Shisan’s shoulder.
“Brother Shisan, your words truly enlightened me!”
“But I am curious, how did Mr. convince you in the first place? After all, your personality is quite stubborn, even troubling Mr.”
Facing Tianxuan’s enthusiasm, Chen Shisan replied calmly, “I don’t read much, so when you talk to me, don’t use too many idioms, I don’t understand them.”
“Mr. never convinced me, it was my choice to believe in him.”
“Oh?”
“So, what did Mr. do that made you, such a stubborn person, choose to believe in him?”
“He waited for me for five years in a small place and persuaded me for five years.”
“That’s why I chose to believe him.”
“Anything else?”
Facing Tianxuan’s inquiry, Chen Shisan thought for a moment and said,
“He also gave me an egg.”
“Because of an egg?”
“Because of an egg!”
Saying this, Chen Shisan took out two eggs from his chest and asked,
“Do you want to eat one?”
Tianxuan: “…”
“I am from the Xuan Bird Clan. Our race reproduces by laying eggs, asking me to eat an egg is a bit much, right?”
“So, do you want to eat one?”
Tianxuan: “…”
“I’ll take the bigger one.”
