"Junior sister, get down here right now! What are you doing?!"
"Senior sister, let's talk about this later. Please don't do anything rash!"
"Xuanji, what's wrong with you? Why are you degrading yourself like this? It's not worth it!"
On the edge of the cliff at Xiaozhu Peak, Lu Xuanji, looking utterly hopeless, stood precariously in the eye of the storm. Countless fellow disciples stood ten feet away, constantly trying to persuade her not to do anything rash.
"Don't come any closer! Back off! Everyone back off! If anyone takes another step, I'll jump down right now!"
Lu Xuanji suddenly held the sword to her neck, stopping the two female disciples who were about to step forward.
"Senior sister, can you please stop this and get down first?"
"Senior sister, it's all Lin Feng's fault, that evil cultivator. It has nothing to do with you, so why bother?"
Lu Xuanji shook her head and said, "I have no face to face my master, no face to face my fellow disciples. What is the point of living for someone like me now?"
The scene was chaotic, and just then, Shen Zhao and his group finally arrived at the foot of Xiaozhu Peak.
Shen Zhao, who happened to witness Lu Xuanji's near-death experience, was shocked and immediately grabbed Lu Chen's shoulders and shook him: "Quick, go prepare some things!"
Lu Chen: "Wh...what is that?"
"A table, a plate of melon seeds, a pot of tea, and a rocking chair. Fruit would be even better. Hurry up, don't just stand there like an idiot, the sooner the better, or it will be too late!"
Lu Chen nodded, puzzled, and quickly did as he was told.
About half an hour later, five zhang away from the cliff of Xiaozhu Peak...
"Four-sided~~"
"My hometown, oh, my new grave~"
"Cheers~~"
Shen Zhao ate melon, lay on the rocking chair humming a little tune, and Su Yunying beside him smiled and gently fanned herself with a palm leaf fan.
"Brother Shen, you asked me to prepare all this, and this is the damn reason?"
Lu Chen's face turned green.
"Yeah, a cliff-jumping scene is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so we should hurry up and participate, or we'll miss out."
Lu Chen: "I really thank you for reminding me, but can you consider how I and the person involved are feeling right now? It's my sister who's going to jump off the cliff."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao nodded thoughtfully, then shouted loudly to Lu Xuanji, "Miss Lu, your brother asked me to ask you when you're going to jump off the cliff. Could you give me an exact time so we can prepare for the banquet?"
Lu Chen broke out in a cold sweat: "Big brother, can you please stop provoking her? What if she really jumps...?"
"So you really want to end it all by jumping? You're making such a fuss over such a trivial matter. Your ability to handle things is worse than that of a three-year-old child on the street!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuanji burst into tears, dropped the sword that was held to her neck, and roared at Chen Zhao, "You make it sound so easy, but that's because you haven't understood how I feel!"
You know this is the first time I've truly fallen for someone I love, only to discover that that person is a wicked cultivator who harms innocent lives. Could you accept that?
Shen Zhao gently rubbed his head, shook his head, and thought to himself, "So all people with love-struck brains have serious illnesses, huh? If someone like you were bound to a system and went through nine lifetimes without going crazy, I'd change my surname to yours."
"Then hurry up and jump!" Shen Zhao waved his hand dismissively. "I don't know what your mentality is. You just liked the wrong person. You only suffered a setback in your relationship. What else have you lost?"
Was her body violated? Was her money stolen? Or was something else gone?
Since there's no real loss, who are you trying to impress with your dramatic display of grief?
You have a loving father and brothers, a responsible master, and so many fellow disciples who care about you.
You have everything you have now that is much happier than many people your age, so what else do you have to complain about?
A person's life is not just about love; family, friendship, and career should also be given attention.
Or is it that in your heart, nothing else matters except Raymond Lam?
Lu Xuanji was stunned, her eyes, which were filled with tears, revealed a hint of confusion.
The other Qingyun Sect disciples were also stunned, staring at Shen Zhao in complete silence.
Shen Zhao sighed and continued, "Furthermore, the emotional setbacks you are experiencing now are nothing compared to real heartbreak."
Lu Xuanji raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by worthless? Don't make sarcastic remarks. In the end, you're just laughing at me."
Shen Zhao crossed his legs and said, word by word, "Once upon a time, there was a man who fell in love with a woman. This woman was exceptionally talented, a rare genius, unparalleled in history. In terms of status and background, men were like lowly ants before her."
These two people should never have crossed paths, but due to some unavoidable cause and effect, they ended up together.
The husband knew perfectly well that his wife could never love a penniless mortal like him, because on their wedding night, he wasn't even allowed into the bridal chamber.
But the husband did not give up on himself. In order to be worthy of being a woman, he waited for the day when she could truly accept him.
The husband then worked hard to change himself, diligently improving himself for over a decade, shielding his wife from the storms of life and protecting her throughout her life.
But just when the man felt he was worthy of his wife, the woman turned around and met another man.
He was handsome and dashing, and quickly won the heart of women. When her husband learned of this,
He was heartbroken and remorseful, but out of consideration for his wife's feelings, he didn't confront her directly and instead silently devoted countless efforts to her.
Even so, in the woman's eyes, her husband's sacrifices were nothing more than charity and a joke; her eyes were forever only for that man she had suddenly met.
