Everything Was Complete

The carriage rolled leisurely into an inconspicuous little tavern somewhere within the city. After the two entered a private room, Zhang Chen hurriedly poured Chen Sanliang a cup of wine.

"I've quit drinking now. I only drink tea! Wine can throw one's temperament into disorder. I made up my mind long ago that I would never drink again." Chen Sanliang pushed the wine toward Zhang Chen, then poured himself a cup of tea.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard that. He had not expected Chen Sanliang to go so far as to abstain from even a single drop of alcohol in order to improve his cultivation.

Just how deep was the hatred in his heart for Chen Sanliang to push himself to such lengths?

"Would you like to join the Demon Race and seek refuge with me? I heard that your life has not been going well lately. Yellow Heaven Dao's influence spreads throughout the lands north and south of the great river, and they have issued a Kill Order against you. And to avenge Zhang Xiaohua, the Pacifying Border King has even put up five million taels of silver for your head." Chen Sanliang looked at Zhang Chen.

"I'm afraid there is no longer any place for you among the human race."

Zhang Chen gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "Your information truly is well-informed, sir. Unfortunately, I cannot get past that hurdle in my heart. I cannot bring myself to seek refuge with the Demon Race."

"Then so be it. Once you can no longer survive among the human race and have nowhere left to stay, you will naturally remember what I said today. The reason people often cannot make a choice is simply because they have not yet been forced into a desperate situation."
