You Interrupted My Daydreaming, You Know That?
"Is this what you once told me, that life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills?"
After a long silence, Hong Yun asked Wu Chu with a wry smile, "Can't we, born into this world, just be simple, say what we mean, laugh when we want to laugh, and cry when we want to cry?"
Wu Chu nodded and said, "Of course! After all, every living being has their own preferences and different lifestyles. Some like excitement; some like comfort; some are straightforward and honest; but some prefer to beat around the bush... Brother, you are free-spirited and unrestrained, living life on your own terms, yet you are also extremely kind and sincere. You can't bear to see others suffer, and sometimes you would rather suffer a loss yourself than not help the other person..."
Before Wu Chu could finish speaking, Zhen Yuanzi slapped his thigh and nodded, saying, "What my brother said is absolutely right! You don't know, all the Merit we've gained from repairing the earth's veins over the years, Brother Hong Yun has basically used to save some beings that were about to Transformation Form but almost failed. When I mentioned it to him, he just used the same thing he did for me to shut me up, and I..."
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head with a wry smile, clearly unsure how to address Hong Yun. But it was precisely because Hong Yun was this kind of person that they were able to become such close friends.
Wu Chu thought to himself: Back then, I also bet that Hong Yun was this kind of person, which is why I dared to tell you the truth and ask you for guidance on cultivation methods!
Hearing Zhen Yuanzi say this, Hong Yun took a swig of wine and laughed, "It's just a little bit of Merit Power. Even if I use it now, I can slowly accumulate it again later. But he was at a critical moment. If I don't lend a hand, his life might be in danger."
This is the magnanimity of the greatest philanthropist in the Primordial World. A little Merit is nothing to him!
Zhen Yuanzi mimicked Wu Chu's usual shrug and spread-hands gesture, shrugging his shoulders as if to say: See, that's how helpless he is!
Wu Chu estimated that Zhen Yuanzi's current feelings towards Hong Yun were a mixture of love and hate!
Like a capricious girlfriend, you can't hit her, you can't scold her, she won't listen to you, and even if you do listen, she won't change. You want to ignore her, but you can't. It's so frustrating!
As he thought about it, Wu Chu almost burst out laughing.
He coughed lightly to clear his throat, and as he placed a piece, Wu Chu said, "Actually, it was precisely because of Brother Hong Yun's personality that I dared to tell you about my actual situation back then."
As he spoke, he looked at Hong Yun and continued, "However, Brother Hong Yun, I think it's fine if someone doesn't like acting or pretending and prefers to be genuine. But we need to be able to tell whether the other person is faking it or putting on an act. Otherwise, we might give our sincere good intentions only to be treated like fools, which is unacceptable!"
Just like in the future, those two old bastards, Jieyin and Zhunti, clearly treated Hong Yun like a fool! They got fooled, and Hongyun didn't even say a good word about it. It's truly...
They're probably just fooling people, secretly gloating over their own abilities!
Zhen Yuanzi placed his piece and laughed, "Brother, your words are exactly what I wanted to say! Excellent! Very excellent!"
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Hong Yun, as if to say: See! A Chu thinks so too, what else do you have to say?
Hong Yun stroked her chin, lost in thought.
Faced with Hong Yun's expression, Wu Chu sighed silently to himself. He had talked to Hongyun about acting when he was young, and he wanted to tell him not to be acted by others.
But now it seems like this guy doesn't care at all!
If in the future, when there's a struggle for a seat in the Purple Cloud Palace, given his carefree and open-minded nature, he might feel that the seat doesn't matter, and then give it up again?
Judging from the current situation, when the patriarch preaches at the Purple Cloud Palace in the future, I, as the senior disciple, should have no problem securing a position.
Even if we're not fast enough, we can ask Little Hao and Little Yao to help us grab a seat first!
As a junior student, what's wrong with helping my senior student grab a seat?
As the senior disciple, it's not shameful for me to use a few special privileges!
If the two West don't even have seats, then how will the Grandmaster distribute the seven strands of Grandmist Purple Qi?
With my title as the senior disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace, I should be able to get a position in the sect!
So, will I have to accept that Grandmist Purple Qi at that time?
The preciousness of the Grandmist Purple Qi is self-evident; it is the foundation for becoming a saint.
Throughout the Primordial World, there are almost no people who have attained enlightenment without the Grandmist Purple Qi.
Some say that Ancestor Yang Mei Mixed-Element Dao Fruit through the Spatial Dao, but this actually needs to be verified, as there is no clear evidence to prove it.
Only Houtu truly attained enlightenment through the Reincarnation Law, becoming invincible in the Netherworld. However, she also imprisoned herself because of this, so she can only be considered to have succeeded halfway.
If I don't possess the Grandmist Purple Qi, what makes me think I can definitely achieve enlightenment?
Is it really just because of the Phone Sprite Yibao?
But if one accepts the Grandmist Purple Qi, even if one becomes Sage in the future, it is unlikely that one will be able to escape this Primordial Land!
If, in that vast River of Time, we can find the point in time where we once lived on Earth, will we still be able to go back?
Logically speaking, becoming Sage or returning to one's former self is a perfectly reasonable choice, nothing to agonize over. But the problem is, whether he becomes Sage or not, he has already attained immortality. Since he has already achieved immortality, what difference does it make whether he becomes Sage or not?
As the eldest brother of the Six Saints, if he didn't accept the Grandmist Purple Qi, he could very well become the Seven Great Sages. And as the eldest brother of the Seven Great Sages, he also has a junior brother who is the ruler of the Heavenly Court. Oh, and a wife who is the ruler of Reincarnation...
With that kind of backing and connections, who would dare to cause him trouble?
So, is it necessary to use the Grandmist Purple Qi to become Sage?
Just as I was daydreaming, Zhen Yuanzi tapped the chessboard lightly with a piece and chuckled, "Is this move really that difficult? Does my brother need to think about it for so long?"
You interrupted my daydream, you know that?
Wu Chu casually placed a piece on his board, then shook his head and said, "No, I was thinking about something else!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Hong Yun, who was still deep in thought, gestured to Zhen Yuanzi, and transmitted his voice, "Brother Hong Yun, is he still thinking?"
Zhen Yuanzi nodded, then secretly replied, "Brother, do you think it's a bit too selfish of us to say such things about him?"
"Brother, what makes you say that?" Wu Chu asked as he placed a piece.
Zhen Yuanzi casually placed a piece, saying, "Originally, we befriended him because of his sincerity, kindness, magnanimity, and broad-mindedness... But now, we're asking him to be selfish towards others, this..."
Wu Chu thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "This reminds me of a saying: We will eventually become the kind of people we hate!"
Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "This, this statement is a bit too absolute!"
Wu Chu smiled, not arguing with Zhen Yuanzi about the topic, but instead said, "Sometimes, being a little selfish is being responsible to ourselves, and even to our friends. So, brother, you don't need to dwell on this. However, we are not Brother Hong Yun after all; how he chooses is up to him. But no matter what he chooses, he is still himself, isn't he?"
