Chapter 214 Bai Ze: Do You Want a Wife or Not, A Road Without Obstructions
“Little Thirteen, do you want a wife?”
“If you want, I’ll bring that little girl back to you right away.”
“I’ll personally talk to Chen Changsheng; he definitely won’t make things difficult for you.”
On the way, Bai Ze kept circling around Chen Shisan.
Ever since he learned that Chen Shisan was the one chosen by Chen Changsheng, Bai Ze became interested in this young man.
Whether it was going treasure hunting with Chen Shisan or finding him a partner, Bai Ze was full of schemes.
However, faced with Bai Ze’s many temptations, Chen Shisan remained silent.
“Stop!”
The quiet Chen Shisan finally halted his steps.
Seeing this, Bai Ze thought that this dullard had finally come to his senses, and he became excited.
“Isn’t it great to think about it early? That little girl has probably gone far by now.”
“But don’t worry, with your elder brother here, even if she runs to the ends of the earth, I can bring her back.”
Looking at the animated Bai Ze in front of him, Chen Shisan calmly replied, “Little Black, I really don’t like Miss Meng Yu. What you’re doing will lead her to misunderstand.”
“Don’t be shy, I can see whether she likes you or not.”
“When you were about to kick the bucket, that little girl cried so heartbrokenly.”
“Even a blind person could see that.”
“But I don’t like her.”
Upon hearing Chen Shisan’s response, Bai Ze instantly became anxious.
“No, how can you not like her?”
“You both went through a life-and-d*ath battle together, and you spent a month together. How could you not like her in this situation?”
“Just because she likes me, does that mean I have to like her?”
“There’s no such principle in this world.”
Chen Shisan simply gazed silently at Bai Ze, while Bai Ze, usually so lively, grew quiet.
“Ha~”
With a long sigh, Bai Ze turned and said, “Bookish lad, come on, I can’t argue with him.”
Seeing this, Nalan Xingde smiled and walked towards Chen Shisan.
Chen Shisan looked at this newly acknowledged “teacher.”
“Teacher, is it wrong that I don’t like her?”
Hearing this, Nalan Xingde shook his head with a smile and replied, “It’s not wrong; the principle of this world is just like that.”
“Matters of love require mutual affection, dedication, and sincerity are merely means to touch the other party.”
“But dedication does not necessarily yield returns.”
“But have you considered that your actions might break a girl’s heart and lead her into an endless whirlpool?”
Listening to these words, Chen Shisan slightly lowered his head.
“Teacher, I regard her as my best friend. I’m willing to wield my sword for her without regard for my life. Isn’t that enough?”
“Not enough!” Nalan Xingde shook his head, “She wants your heart, not your life.”
“Then can I refuse her?”
“You can refuse her, but you can’t extinguish the feelings in her heart.”
“Feelings arise from willingness, and one should not regret once it’s over!”
“She is a stubborn girl; she won’t give up on what she wants just because there’s no conclusion.”
Silence fell, and Chen Shisan became quiet again.
Because he, too, didn’t know how to resolve this issue.
Seeing this, Nalan Xingde smiled and ruffled Chen Shisan’s head, saying, “Since you can’t figure it out now, stop thinking about it.”
“When you’ve seen through the principles of this world, when you’ve traversed mountains and rivers, an answer that belongs solely to you will naturally emerge in your heart.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisan looked up and asked, “Teacher, can you really find an answer to such matters?”
“Of course you can, because someone has encountered the same problem as you, and he found an answer.”
“Who is he?”
“Of course, he is the one guiding you on this journey; the excellence of this gentleman far exceeds your imagination.”
“Such a man surely attracts the favor of many women.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisan pursed his lips and said, “Then the women who like the gentleman must be suffering.”
“Suffering is merely the feeling of us bystanders.”
“In actuality, they never regretted it until d*ath; they have never felt that this was a painful road.”
“‘Feelings arise from willingness, and one should not regret once it’s over.’ This principle is something I have understood from them, merely voiced through my mouth.”
“Then the gentleman must be very lonely.”
“I agree with this, so the gentleman gives you a choice.”
“There are still thousands of miles to the Buddhist Nation. When you reach the Buddhist Nation, you will need to make a choice.”
“The gentleman chose you not because of your extraordinary talent or your exceptional understanding.”
“But because you can always create miracles, the gentleman believes you can forge a path different from his.”
After saying this, the light in Chen Shisan’s eyes dimmed a little.
“Teacher, can I really forge a path that even the gentleman cannot?”
“I don’t know if you can forge this path, but I know that a person like Tù Huǔ shouldn’t be like you.”
“Young men should naturally have the courage of young men. Success or failure shouldn’t be your concern; just do it first.”
“The former Chen Shisan was like this; why has the current Chen Shisan become indecisive instead?”
“Could it be that the sword in your hand can only slay people and not cut through hearts?”
Looking at Nalan Xingde’s smile, the light in Chen Shisan’s eyes reignited.
“Teacher, you’re right. Success and failure shouldn’t be my concern; I will just do it.”
“I don’t know many characters; may I ask, teacher, what words should I use to describe my current self?”
Facing Chen Shisan’s question, Nalan Xingde looked around and pointed at the distant Qingshan, saying, “I have seen many charming mountains, and I expect the mountains to see me in the same way.”
After hearing this, a smile appeared at the corners of Chen Shisan’s mouth.
“Teacher, your words are really pleasant to hear; I can’t express such sentiments.”
“Hahaha!”
“Don’t worry; you will be able to in the future.”
“Since you’ve come to understand, then let’s find some feelings to experience right now.”
“Otherwise, we would be wasting this youthful time.”
Saying this, Nalan Xingde waved to Bai Ze, who was not far away.
“Bai Ze, come here for a moment.”
“Bookish lad, what do you want with me?”
“I’m uncertain about the next course of action; why don’t you decide?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze looked puzzled at Nalan Xingde.
“You want me to make the decision?”
“Yes.”
“I can do whatever I want?”
“Once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.”
After confirming this multiple times, Bai Ze instantly became excited. “Since you are so sincere in your invitation, then I won’t hold back.”
“We’ll change course and head to Huayang Cave Heaven, and then we’ll teach them a lesson.”
“Last time they dared to chase after me; this time I will definitely take revenge.”
After saying this, Bai Ze excitedly ran to the front.
Seeing this, Qian Bao’er looked troubled and said, “Teacher, why would you let Bai Ze decide?”
“Bai Ze’s decisions aren’t very reliable.”
