Gu Qingze stood there, a look of confusion on his face.
He wanted to comfort Senior Brother Lu, but he felt that Senior Brother Lu didn't seem to need his comfort.
Just as Gu Qingze was struggling, Lu Xingchen slightly turned sideways, reached out and patted Gu Qingze on the shoulder: "Junior Brother Gu, let's go."
He looked perfectly normal, his lips curled up slightly in a faint yet warm smile. "We've only just competed once, so it's definitely not very satisfying. Let's go back and compete a few more times."
Gu Qingze quietly raised his eyes and glanced at him, only to see that Lu Xingchen looked calm, as if what had just happened had not left any ripples in his heart.
So, Gu Qingze nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that Senior Brother Lu didn't want to mention this matter anymore. In that case, there was no need for him to say anything more.
After this, it was just Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Helan’s own business.
It’s just a few more rounds... Gu Qingze subconsciously touched the scabbard at his waist and breathed a sigh of relief.
He secretly made up his mind that he must seize the opportunity this time and learn from Senior Brother Lu, so as not to be defeated in thirteen moves like before.
At least... hold on a little longer.
So with such a firm determination, Gu Qingze competed with Lu Xingchen for many rounds, with sword shadows flashing and light overflowing.
He didn't stop until Gu Qingze was a little exhausted. At this time, his face was slightly red, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his breathing was a little rapid.
"Junior Brother Gu, although I don't understand the Heavenly Ice Sword Technique you practice, I do understand other aspects of it."
Lu Xingchen frowned slightly and looked at Gu Qingze intently, "I can sense that you weren't decisive enough when you attacked, and you were holding back."
After saying that, he patted Gu Qingze's shoulder again, and when he looked at him, his expression was a little complicated.
"A swordsman's attack methods and other aspects can reflect his personality to a certain extent. Junior brother, you are too indecisive. It seems that you are always worried about something or considering something."
"Senior Brother Lu...I..." Gu Qingze subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it.
So he opened his mouth slightly, and finally closed his lips.
Senior Brother Lu was right. He lacked the decisiveness that a sword cultivator should have. He himself was aware of this, but he had never been able to find a solution.
"Junior Brother Gu, actually... sometimes, you don't need to think so much, it will be very tiring."
When Lu Xingchen said this, although he was talking to Gu Qingze, it seemed not to be him, as if he was talking to another person through Gu Qingze.
The voice was soft and low, and seemed to carry a magical power that made people fall into deep thought involuntarily.
"Then senior brother, can you tell me what to do?" Gu Qingze raised his eyes slightly, his bright eyes full of seriousness.
Lu Xingchen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I'm not your teacher, nor can I represent you. I can only give you some advice. You don't need to obey me completely."
Gu Qingze nodded vigorously: "Yes, I know."
After hearing his assurance, Lu Xingchen continued, "There's a very simple way. That's to identify a standard, and then use it to judge right and wrong. What doesn't meet this standard is wrong, and what meets it is right. This way, you won't be so entangled."
Gu Qingze was still a little worried: "But... wouldn't that be too absolute?"
"There's no such thing as absolute right or wrong in this world, and the principles you believe in are only relative." Lu Xingchen's voice was calm and steady, like a tranquil lake. "Besides, so-called right and wrong are nothing more than opinions from different perspectives."
"I know this is too absolute, but this is the simplest way. As long as you do this, you won't be entangled anymore."
There seemed to be more complicated emotions in Lu Xingchen's eyes, as if he had thought of something.
"Brother Lu, is this what you do? For example, once you've determined a standard, use it to judge everything."
Gu Qingze asked cautiously. He didn't have any other thoughts, he was just simply curious.
Lu Xingchen nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
He does have a set of standards and acts according to them, but the standards he sets are very low, and as long as they are not violated, he will be tolerant.
Gu Qingze nodded: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, I really learned a lot."
Lu Xingchen patted his shoulder and said, "You're welcome. It's my honor to help you, Junior Brother."
"However, if you want to find your own set of standards, you must continue to experience and gain insights to find what truly suits you."
After Lu Xingchen finished speaking, he said no more, but just looked quietly at the sunset in the distance.
As the sun sets, the sunset glow on the horizon is like a colorful painting, which is beautiful beyond words.
It was already late, and the warm afterglow sprinkled on the earth, covering everything with a golden coat.
At this moment...what would that stinky fox be busy with? Lu Xingchen suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He found that whenever he stopped and let his mind clear, he would think of the stinky fox.
I can't help but think about him, even when I was disappointed in him before, I can't help but think about him.
So he has been practicing non-stop for so many years, not only because he likes practicing and the moment of progress, but also because his mind is full at that time and he can't help but think of himself.
