"The mind encompasses the vast emptiness and extends to the boundless sands. If a person knows themselves, they will do far fewer things that they will later regret," Nangong Ziyan said meaningfully, without directly answering Baili Yuechan's question.
"Oh!" Baili Yuechan frowned, then asked softly, "What does Miss Nangong mean by 'knowing oneself'...?"
"Knowing yourself is the foundation of a peaceful life. There is an old saying that goes, 'It is easy to draw a dragon or a tiger, but difficult to draw their bones; it is easy to know a person's face, but difficult to know their heart.' The human heart is hard to fathom, it is hard to know a person, it is even harder to know someone, and it is even harder to know yourself. But having a correct understanding of yourself is the most basic requirement for being a person."
"So, after Miss Nangong met herself and knew what she wanted, that's why she's so resolute?" Baili Yuechan's tone was somewhat contemptuous and disdainful. If a person doesn't even know what they want while they're alive, are they still human? Baili Yuechan didn't delve into the meaning behind Nangong Ziyan's words.
However, Baili Jun'ao, Tian Haoze, Ximen Ruiyun, and the others quickly understood Nangong Ziyan's meaning.
In his anger, Dongfang Yifei was oblivious to the meaning behind Nangong Ziyan's words; he only felt extremely ashamed.
"Although it's a decision I'm making without hesitation, I won't lose myself," Nangong Ziyan replied nonchalantly. What an idiot! This old habit of hers has resurfaced now that she's angry. Why did she say those things?! Looking at Baili Yuechan's disdainful eyes, she really wanted to… but never mind, never mind, she didn't want to think about it anymore. People aren't afraid of being looked down upon, they're afraid of not having enough self-respect. As the saying goes, at a narrow intersection, it's better to let others go first. Taking a step back is equivalent to leaving yourself two steps of room to maneuver.
"Oh!" Baili Yuechan glanced at Nangong Ziyan and said nothing more. Would she really not lose herself? I'm afraid she won't have the chance to show herself.
"Yan'er".
"Yan'er." At this moment, Nangong Ruichen and Nangong Jingqi also came over.
"Big brother, second brother." Nangong Ziyan looked at them in confusion. Why were they here? Didn't we agree to meet at the Fengyun Tournament?
Perfect timing, the Soul-Returning Potion has already been delivered.
"Young master, this is a soul-restoring potion. Please proceed with the transaction according to the rules." Gao Lang personally delivered it, speaking neither arrogantly nor humbly, his voice pleasant and respectful.
Dongfang Yifei glanced at it and knew that Nangong Ziyan would not accept it under these circumstances. His eyes flickered, and he put a stack of silver notes on the tray. He took the Soul-Returning Potion and was about to put it away when Baili Yuechanyue suddenly spoke up.
"Young Master Dongfang, weren't you going to give this to Miss Nangong? In front of so many people, and she's Young Master Dongfang's fiancée, Nangong Ziyan shouldn't risk offending Young Master Dongfang."
"Does Miss Baili enjoy meddling in other people's business so much?"
Nangong Ziyan suddenly seemed like a different person, glaring angrily at Baili Yuechan with a gloomy expression.
One sentence caused a storm to break out on Baili Yuechan's face. She glared at Nangong Ziyan, and the humiliation left Nangong Ziyan speechless.
Baili Jun'ao immediately felt much better. In the Qihe Dynasty, no one dared to speak to Baili Yuechan like that. Now Baili Yuechan's self-esteem was severely damaged, and he would definitely be so angry that he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.
"How dare you, a mere commoner, say that the princess is meddling in other people's business!" Xiao Nian couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to defend Baili Yuechan's dignity.
"You're the one being presumptuous! How could my sister, Tian Haoze's sister, be a mere commoner? Princess Yuechan, don't forget that each of our continents is its own kingdom. Yan'er is the young lady of the South Sea Glazed Palace. We may address each other differently, but our status is the same. Most importantly, this is the territory of the Netherworld Continent. Anyone who tries to make things difficult for my sister, Tian Haoze's sister, shouldn't blame me for being impolite."
Tian Haoze looked sternly at Xiao Nian and Baili Yuechan and spoke. His imposing aura was so natural that Xiao Nian unconsciously took a few steps back.
