The Speaker Had No Intent, but the Listener Took It to Heart; Nine Splendors Emperor Lord: Misleading the Young!

"Sorry, I've been cultivating lately, so my condition has been somewhat unstable."

Looking at the paper figure before him, Nine Splendors Emperor Lord said softly, "Their descent upon the Nine Splendors World—was that your doing?"

"No!"

"Then were those words you exchanged with Li Changsheng meant for me to hear?"

"Not entirely!"

Receiving this answer, Nine Splendors Emperor Lord said in confusion, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"The Pill Epoch is not my Pill Epoch. It is your Pill Epoch."

"It was also within my expectations that Li Changsheng would comprehend his own Great Dao."

"From the moment he understood this, he was no longer a fledgling child."

"Those words just now were spoken for you at his invitation. The entire matter has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Nine Splendors Emperor Lord smiled. "A minor cultivator not even ten thousand years old wants to instruct me?"

"Ambition does not depend on age. The world in his heart is greater than yours, so naturally, he can guide you."

"Besides, isn't everything he is doing now for the sake of people like you?"

Hearing Chen Changsheng's answer, Nine Splendors Emperor Lord fell silent.

After a long while, Nine Splendors Emperor Lord spoke again. "I do not think this kind of life of mine is cowardly!"

"I never said your life was cowardly, nor did he."

"He merely feels that a life like yours should not keep repeating itself."

"That line, 'When the spring breeze speaks not, simply follow your original heart'—who do you think it was meant for?"

"The speaker had no intent, but the listener took it to heart. He still comprehended the Great Dao; why would I need to offer further enlightenment?"

"My original heart has not wavered!"

"Hasn't it?"

Chen Changsheng questioned Nine Splendors Emperor
