Great power, a future at the Heaven Tier, short-term gains, long-term regrets...
Xie Zhenghe's question seemed simple, but in truth, it was anything but.
This was no longer a question of becoming a warrior or not, but a choice concerning one's entire life and Dao Path, the values one embraced!
Fang Qianyuan pondered for a while before saying, "I don't know how I should answer, either. Most people would seek gain and avoid harm, weighing their own circumstances."
Without a particular reason, ordinary people would naturally never consider becoming warriors. After all, the benefits of the Warrior Art came at the expense of long-term interests. Whether in future prospects or lifespan, it fell far short of normal cultivation.
Those who already possessed great power and a bright future, in particular, were even less likely to choose this path.
But everyone in this world craved power, and there were far too many shortcomings and regrets. If a shortcut existed, plenty of people would still plunge into the flame like moths, heedless of their own lives.
What did a little price matter?
"Master..."
Though Fang Qianyuan was the one answering the question, he could not help thinking of his master.
"Grand Elder Xie, you must have asked my master this question back then as well, didn't you?"
He looked at Xie Zhenghe. He did not believe this grand elder would loose an arrow without a target.
Xie Zhenghe sighed softly and nodded, his expression dimming. "I did. But your master already possessed cultivation and strength beyond the reach of ordinary people. Naturally, he had no interest in such methods. His answer at the time was an outright rejection."
Rejection? Fang Qianyuan sighed inwardly as well. But that wasn't the choice Master made in the end!
