Chapter 232: The Fishing Elder and Chen Shisan: We Are Gradually Drifting Apart
Looking at Tianxuan in front of her, Qian Bao’er’s lips kept trembling.
Because she really did not want to say goodbye.
“Gululu!”
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Chen Shisan wiped the grease off his lips and then took out a note.
“The master once said that when friends part, one should say a few words of farewell.”
“I spent the whole night reading last night and finally thought of what to say.”
“Although I just started studying and learning to read, I’m sure my words aren’t as pleasant as Tianxuan’s, so bear with me.”
Looking at Chen Shisan’s awkward demeanor, Qian Bao’er broke into a smile despite her tears.
“Then fine, I’ll bear with you for a bit.”
“Let me see what you can say about parting.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan stood up, adjusted his clothes, and then read from the note word by word.
“Friend, it seems we are gradually drifting apart.”
“In the past, we were very happy together, but now we can no longer be compatible.”
“It’s time for us to part ways; this is life!”
“This may be hard to accept, but you must face reality. Perhaps we will meet again in the future, please do not forget me, Qian Bao’er.”
After speaking, Chen Shisan put away the note and looked at Qian Bao’er.
“Bao’er, how did I do with this passage?”
“Wuwuwu!”
In response to Chen Shisan’s question, Qian Bao’er didn’t answer; instead, she covered her mouth and rushed out.
Faced with this situation, Chen Shisan had a puzzled expression.
“Tianxuan, did I say something wrong?”
Looking at Qian Bao’er’s departing figure, Tianxuan said softly, “You didn’t say anything wrong; on the contrary, you were very right.”
“It’s exactly because you were so right that Bao’er is sad.”
“By doing this, Bao’er probably won’t give you any pocket money in the future.”
“Ah?”
“What’s going on here? Neither right nor wrong; then what should I do?”
Chen Shisan scratched his head in confusion and then turned to Meng Yu, who was beside him.
“Meng Yu, I have something to say to you.”
“I won’t listen!”
Meng Yu firmly rejected Chen Shisan.
“Empty Days is going to participate in the Buddhist Fate Conference; let’s talk after it’s over.”
“I’ll leave first!”
With that, Meng Yu quickly left the room.
Although she didn’t know what Chen Shisan wanted to say, her intuition told her that his words wouldn’t make her happy.
Chen Shisan’s words definitely wouldn’t affect her decision, but she didn’t want to find trouble for no reason.
If pain was destined to come, then let it come a little later.
With the departure of Meng Yu and the others, only Chen Shisan and Tianxuan remained at the dining table.
After a long time, Chen Shisan spoke up, “Since we ordered so much food, why don’t we eat a bit more?”
“It would be such a pity to waste all this food.”
Faced with Chen Shisan’s words, Tianxuan paused for a second and then smiled, “You’re right, wasting is not good.”
After that, Tianxuan and Chen Shisan lowered their heads and began to finish the meal in front of them.
……
By the river.
“Hey, are you going to talk or not?”
“I’ve been asking you for so long; at least say something!”
Zhi Ze was bouncing around a fishing elder, but the elder kept staring at his fishing rod, showing no sign of acknowledging Zhi Ze.

Faced with this situation, Bai Ze anxiously clawed at the ground.
“Little Black, the man is fishing; you’re scaring the fish away.”
A familiar voice echoed. Bai Ze immediately stopped his movements, showing a guilty expression.
Turning around, he saw the bald-headed Chen Changsheng standing not far away with a smile.
“You… why are you here?”
“I’ve been chanting for too long and came out to stretch my legs.”
With that, Chen Changsheng kicked Bai Ze away and sat next to the fishing elder.
The old man and the young man sat quietly together. After a long while, the elder slowly spoke.
“I have entered the empty sect; worldly affairs have nothing to do with me.”
“Alas!”
“Food can be eaten in abundance, but words should not be spoken carelessly.”
“I’m not like that foolish dog begging for you; I’m here to mock you.”
“The Xuan Bird Clan is about to become extinct; birds like you can only hide in humiliation.”
“Since you’re hiding, do it well and don’t show your face.”
“Otherwise, I’ll pluck your feathers and roast you to eat.”
Hearing this, the elder slowly turned to look at Chen Changsheng.
“Since you’re so strong, why bother coming to find me?”
“I’m certainly strong, but I have other matters to attend to. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even have the qualification to talk to me.”
“Consider it that the Xuan Bird Clan abandoned me, not I who abandoned the Xuan Bird Clan.”
“I know, so I never expected you to take action.”
“I’m not concerned with the internal grievances of the Xuan Bird Clan, nor am I interested in them. I simply want to witness the demise of the Xuan Bird Clan.”
“Nothing more!”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng stood up and left.
The elder once again looked at the fishing hook submerged in the water, but this time, a ripple broke the surface just an inch away from the hook.
……
“Chen Changsheng, did he agree?”
Looking at the elder in the distance, Bai Ze tentatively asked.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said casually, “I don’t know.”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Ze immediately panicked.
“No, what do you mean you don’t know? If he doesn’t take action, Tianxuan and Little Thirteen will be in danger.”
“Cloud Mountain Temple and Huayang Cave Heaven aren’t to be trifled with; those two little ones can’t handle it.”
“If they can’t handle it, then they can’t handle it. I’m just their guiding person, not their personal babysitter. I can’t resolve every crisis for them.”
“Besides, if I remember correctly, you should have a serious matter to attend to in the Buddhist Nation.”
“You came looking for me instead of seeking this ‘old bird’; it seems you’ve been playing outside for too long, unable to distinguish between urgency and leisure.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze gave a fawning smile, “A day or two of delay doesn’t matter.”
“And the book idiot left Spiritual Sense on them; once they reach the Buddhist Nation, the book idiot will definitely come to see you.”
“Since he’s gone, then I don’t need to—”
Bai Ze’s voice grew softer, his head lowering more and more, because Chen Changsheng was looking at him with a cold glare.
“Little Black, you’re becoming more and more unreasonable. I think it’s necessary to confine you in the Buddhist Nation for a while to make you wake up properly.”
“Please, no!”
“Making me eat vegetarian every day and then listen to those bald heads chant, I’ll go crazy.”
“Stop whining; this isn’t a negotiation; it’s a notice.”
“You’ll go regardless of whether you want to or not.”
“Hand it over!”
Hearing this, Bai Ze hurriedly spat out a spherical object, which was the item that Nalan Xingde had entrusted to Bai Ze to bring to Chen Changsheng.
