Chapter 116 Life is full of hardships



Return to the Ruthless Sect.

Ye Tian had already transformed into the appearance of Daoist Wuchen.

The entire sect, including Gu Nishang, Huan Qingsha, and Abbess Huayun.

They all looked at him expectantly, as if waiting for his good news.

Ye Tian sighed.

"Sigh~"

With that sigh, the hearts of everyone in the sect leaped into their throats.

"Success!" Ye Tian shouted with laughter.

"By the way, this is our sect's newest member, Chu Feng, the guest elder of the Ruthless Sect." Ye Tian introduced the new member to the entire sect.

This surprised the entire sect, and everyone looked at Chu Feng with a keen eye.

"Hello." Chu Feng, still maintaining his aloof and handsome demeanor, greeted everyone casually upon arriving in the new environment.

Ye Tian knew this guy was always like this, so he didn't bother to explain anything.

He simply carried Wuchen Daoist back from the deepest wine cellar. Removing the Suixinsuoyu mask, Ye Tian reverted to his original appearance.

“You look much better this way.” On the rooftop, Ye Tian gazed at the starry sky, with Chu Feng sitting beside him, and said this.

"Indeed, I don't think many of what you said makes sense, but this one is really good." Ye Tian gave a thumbs up.

How could Master Wuchen Daoren's appearance compare to his? Not to mention that Master Wuchen Daoren is old, with white hair and wrinkles, even if he were still young and strong, compared to him, it would be like heaven and earth.

I am a handsome man with a face like jade, a face surpassing Pan An, and a face like a celestial being, Master.

It's a long story.

Chu Feng's forehead creased with annoyance; he was utterly speechless. Holding two wine jugs in his hand, he asked, "Want a drink?"

"Is this good wine?" Ye Tian asked.

"I just bought it from a roadside stall, where would I get such good wine?" Chu Feng said irritably.

"Give it to me, nothing tastes like this except from roadside stalls." Ye Tian smiled and reached out for it. In his past life, he loved the taste of gutter oil; nothing tasted like it except from roadside stalls. He never expected that in this life, he would drink from roadside stalls.

"One tael of silver," Chu Feng said calmly.

"This is robbery! If any roadside stall dares to charge me one or two taels of silver for a pot of wine, I'll smash their stall to pieces!" Ye was furious.

"Which roadside stall has a Golden Immortal at the seventh level serving drinks?" Chu Feng countered.

This question stumped Ye Tian.

"Wow, you're a real genius!" Even Ye Tian hadn't expected such a unique angle.

"Alright, since you said you wanted to drink, then hurry up." He gave Chu Feng an ounce of silver, took the wine pot, and took a big gulp.

Damn it.

The cheap liquor from the roadside stall was really strong; one sip almost knocked Ye Tian unconscious. But it was refreshing enough, and he enjoyed drinking it.

This is a snack served under the starlight at night.

Neither of them attempted to suppress the effects of alcohol on their bodies using their spiritual energy.

For a long time, until dawn.

"Chu Feng".

"Um?"

"What's wrong with you, kid? How come you have such complicated family relationships?"

Chu Feng gripped the wine flask and chuckled, "My father and my master both loved my mother. Back then, my mother and my master fell in love at first sight, but unfortunately, my father interfered and forced himself on my mother."

“My master and my father were close friends, but in the end he softened and didn’t kill him. He took my mother and went into seclusion in the martial world.”

"Later, my mother gave birth to me, and I lived with my mother and my master. Originally, the family was harmonious and loving."

"But my father chased after us and killed my master, and my mother also died."

“I swore to avenge my master, and I killed him. But only after killing him did I realize that he was my biological father.”

"Neither your master nor your mother told you this?"

“Never,” Chu Feng said, shaking his head.

"I thought my biological father would be a great hero, a peerless knight, but I never expected him to be a madman, a madman tormented by love."

Ye Tian fell silent; Chu Feng was a pitiful person too.

"What are your dreams? Reaching the seventh level of the Golden Immortal realm at this age is already a great success in your life," Ye Tian asked.

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "In the first half of my life, I wanted revenge; I was blinded by hatred. I never lived a single day for myself. In the second half of my life, I want to live a leisurely and carefree life. I'm all alone in this world now; I have no relatives or friends. As long as I'm happy, that's enough."

"And you, what are your dreams?" Chu Feng asked Ye Tian.

"Slacking off." Ye Tian smiled and looked at the starry sky. Perhaps his dream was to slack off.

"What does 'slacking off' mean?" Chu Feng asked, puzzled.

"It means you don't need to work hard, you don't need to cultivate, and you don't need to become stronger," Ye Tian said.

"This is a dream, but if you don't want to do it, then don't do it."

"No, it's precisely because I want to slack off that I need to become stronger. This world is cruel. Even if you don't want to kill others, others will want to kill you. Even if you don't cultivate, there are many things in life that force you to cultivate," Ye Tian said with emotion.

"Isn't that how it is?" Chu Feng asked.

"No. There is a world where no one would dare to kill you even if you didn't cultivate. Even if you only lived at the bottom of society, your life was still very important. No one would kill you casually, and no one would dare to kill you casually. Because everyone's life is protected, if someone kills you, they will be severely punished."

"Can immortals also be punished?"

"Yes, it will," Ye Tian said.

"Do officials do that too?"

Yes, it will.

"That world is truly wonderful."

"No, it is precisely in that world that people rarely experience happiness. They spend most of their lives in pain."

"Why? Even after all this, you're still not satisfied?" Chu Feng asked, puzzled.

"Because life is full of suffering. But that's precisely why we should live more actively and bravely. We should seek out the beautiful things amidst all the suffering."

"Like the glass of wine in our hands, like the stars in the sky. Taking a break is an attitude, far more than simply doing nothing. It's about finding a moment of peace and tranquility in a chaotic and hectic world."

"In other words, stealing a moment of leisure from my busy schedule." Ye Tian said this before collapsing onto the roof and falling asleep, after taking a sip of wine.

Chu Feng muttered to himself, "Stealing a moment of leisure amidst the busyness... stealing a moment of leisure amidst the busyness."

That was all for the exchange that night.

The next day, Ye Tian slept until the third watch of the night before getting up. He rubbed his head and said somewhat groggily, "What did I do last night? Where am I now?"

"You wicked disciple!" Daoist Wuchen cursed angrily.

Ye Tian looked around and realized, damn it, that he was actually in Wuchen Daoren's room. He then remembered that he had drunk himself into a stupor last night and was only now waking up.

It must have been Daoist Wuchen who carried me back.

Ye Tian chuckled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, Master, I have to go out and take care of some things first, so I won't be able to catch up with you."

"Get out of here!" Wuchen Daoist shouted angrily.
