After hearing what Gu Qingze said, Ye Qiu Shuang began to explain patiently.
"The Way of No Emotion does not mean having no feelings for anything, but rather it means treating all things and living beings equally."
In order to make his words more understandable, Ye Qiu Shuang slowly added.
"Like a clear, calm lake, it is unruffled yet unfathomable. It is unmoved by joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, unperturbed by gain or loss, like the snow lotus high on the mountain, growing in solitude and blooming quietly."
Why did she say that to me?
Are you saying that my feelings towards Ling Xiao are the same as my feelings towards all living things?
Gu Qingze shook his head. Just hearing someone who didn't know him at all say this shook his inner thoughts. This was too unsteady.
"Master, why do you think I'm suitable for practicing the Merciless Sword Technique?"
Gu Qingze asked curiously.
"Those who cultivate the Ruthless Dao do not ignore emotions; instead, they become more sensitive to them. I can clearly sense that you and I are the same kind of people. You are very suitable to learn the Ruthless Sword Technique."
Ye Qiu Shuang said with certainty.
Why does she think I am the same as her?
Gu Qingze knew that continuing this discussion would not produce any results and would only put him in a passive position, so he changed the subject.
"Master, besides the Merciless Sword Technique, are there any other good techniques?"
Gu Qingze acted humble and eager to learn.
"It seems that you don't intend to learn the Merciless Sword Technique. Although I don't understand, I respect everyone's choice."
Ye Qiu Shuang stared at him straight, but there was no trace of emotion in her eyes.
"Except for the Merciless Sword Technique, the other techniques should be similar. You can go to the Sutra Library later and pick out the one you think is suitable."
After Ye Qiu Shuang finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, paused for a moment, and continued.
"I forgot to ask you, why do you want to learn swordsmanship?"
"Protect the most important person around you?"
Gu Qingze said tentatively.
Ye Qiu Shuang shook her head in disapproval.
"Thoughts like yours can appear in anyone, but not in a sword cultivator. A sword cultivator should not have any emotions or weaknesses."
"If that's the case, then why should a sword cultivator raise his sword?"
Gu Qingze asked in confusion. Since the original novel was written from the male protagonist's perspective and there was very little description of the harem, it was the first time he knew that Ye Qiu Shuang had such a point of view.
"Of course, it's to comprehend a deeper meaning of swordsmanship."
Hearing this, Gu Qingze unconsciously thought of Su Han in his mind. These two people are similar yet different. No wonder he always has an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he sees Ye Qiu Shuang.
"What if you meet an enemy? Would you choose to give up revenge?"
Gu Qingze became even more curious.
"Of course, it's killing without any emotion. For things that may become hidden dangers, the correct solution is to eliminate them first."
Ye Qiu Shuang said calmly.
"Remember that killing is always a means, never an end. What benefits are achieved through this means is what is most important, not simply venting one's so-called emotions."
After Ye Qiu Shuang finished speaking, she said no more and flew away on her sword, riding on the wind.
Gu Qingze looked at her departing back. Before he had time to think about the meaning of her words, he suddenly thought of something and froze in place.
Oops, I forgot to ask how to get to the Sutra Repository!
And where do you live?!
Gu Qingze sighed. Just when he was at a loss, his hand was held by someone.
"Beauty, are you in trouble? Do you need your brother's help?"
