"We, we... maybe, this is it." The man was overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears.
The woman's face turned pale, and her lips trembled. "No, I don't want to end my relationship with you. Even if my father doesn't agree, I will go with you. Take me with you, and we will wander around the world and elope."
"Ya." The man knew this was impossible.
There was no joy on his face. He was about to speak when suddenly, a corner of the mountain next to him exploded with a loud bang. The earth trembled, the mountain shook, and countless pieces of rubble fell from above.
At the foot of the mountain, a dark cave entrance appeared.
A black figure slowly walked out of the cave and came into the sunlight, revealing a young, indifferent and handsome face with long black hair draped over his shoulders.
His indifferent eyes fell on the man and woman hugging each other tightly not far away.
Xue Kong flashed and appeared in front of the man and woman. He looked down at them with an indifferent look and stared at them.
"Senior, we have no intention of offending you." The man still hugged the woman tightly, his lips trembling.
"If you disturb my meditation, you will die, or she will die." Xue Kong stretched out his finger, and a wave of destruction attached to his fingertips.
Tears streamed down the woman's eyes. She broke free from the man's arms and said sadly, "Since you don't want me anymore, let me exchange my life for your safety."
The man quickly pulled the woman behind him, shielding her with his body. He faced Xue Kong's fingertips and knelt down, begging, "Senior, if only one of us can survive, then let me die."
"I am useless and have nothing. If this life can save her, it will be a worthy death."
The woman burst into tears.

Soon, Xue Kong's eyes became calm. He helped the man up and sighed, "You finally understand your own value. This is the true meaning of life."
"Senior, you..." The man was stunned.
"The passing of life must have value. If you are not afraid of death, why worry about others' obstruction? For your own goals, persevere forever, even if it means sacrificing your life, it is worth it."
"If you retreat, life will be meaningless."
The man was shocked and stared at Xue Kong blankly, not knowing what to say.
The woman's eyes were filled with tears as she hugged the man's shoulders tightly.
"You guys go." Xue Kong said.
"Senior, I understand." The man knelt down with a plop. "Thank you for your teachings, Senior. May I ask your name?"
"The name doesn't matter." Xue Kong said, then thought for a moment and smiled. "If you must remember me by a name, then call me Persistence."
"Hold on..." the man muttered.
Looking at the two people's departing backs, the smile on Xue Kong's face gradually faded. He murmured to himself: "Eternal life is what I insist on."
