Chapter 291 I left my son without a penny!
Chen Ye just said those words to Sheng Yunqi without thinking, which destroyed his character. It was because his defense was broken just now that he said what was in his heart.
But he soon realized that he had lost the opportunity to become the disciple of the Lord of Lieyang Sect, so he could not lose this opportunity to become Sheng Yunqi. He could only try his best to make up for the true words he had just said without thinking.
But once the bad words have been spoken, it is difficult to take them back.
In the world of cultivation, spilled water is not really a problem. After all, the Water Control Technique can bring back the water that has been spilled.
But there is no way to take back what has been said, unless one can reverse time and space to make time flow backwards, or erase the memory of the person who heard these words.
Unfortunately, Chen Ye didn't have that ability, so he could only scratch his head and think of reasons to explain his previous gaffe.
However, no matter how he explained, Sheng Yunqi insisted on one thing - those words were said by Chen Ye himself, which meant that Chen Ye himself thought that way in his heart.
Sheng Yunqi was warned many times by his father not to trust others easily and to be wary of Chen Ye.
Sheng Yunqi, however, basically maintained his trust in Chen Ye. He felt that Chen Ye was a rare close friend of his, a man of high moral character and integrity, a true gentleman, and he could place his trust in Chen Ye.
But now, Sheng Yunqi kept replaying the words that Chen Ye had just used to blame him in his mind.
Is this how Chen Ye thinks of him?
So Chen Ye was so malicious towards him?
Sheng Yunqi kept recalling the scene in which Chen Ye set up his persona in front of him. He felt as if his good friend's relationship had suddenly collapsed.
He would not listen to any explanation from Chen Ye, because the excuses that Chen Ye came up with on the spur of the moment were too far-fetched. Sheng Yunqi was a naive young master, not a real fool. He just didn't have much experience in judging people, but that didn't mean he couldn't see the flaws in the excuses Chen Ye made up in a panic.
Sheng Yunqi recalled what his father once said, that the path of cultivation is an extremely personal path. No matter whether it is close relatives or good friends, they are just passers-by on one's path of cultivation. There is no need to dwell on temporary separation or betrayal. Just keep going forward with a firm goal and achieve the great way. Then, you will find that the things that you thought were the end of the world in the past are nothing more than this.
Sheng Yunqi, who had never encountered a major setback, encountered his first setback today - his good friend who treated him sincerely was just being insincere to him.
——"Father, if someone treats me badly, should I fight back?"
——"Killing is not good, give someone a taste of their own medicine. If you still can't think straight, then kill the one who is making you confused."
Treat others the way they have treated you.
Sheng Yunqi looked at Chen Ye who was trying hard to explain to him, and his eyes finally refocused. He showed a hypocritical and polite smile: "Brother Chen, there is no need to explain more, I believe you."
Chen Ye wanted to continue explaining, but the words got stuck on his lips and he suddenly couldn't say anything.
He looked at Sheng Yunqi who was smiling in front of him. He should have been happy, after all, Sheng Yunqi said he believed him. But his intuition made him realize that Sheng Yunqi did not believe him and was just pretending to believe his explanation.
This made Chen Ye feel a little panicked. If Sheng Yunqi was determined not to believe his explanation and was angry about his previous attitude, he would not be so panicked. This at least showed that Sheng Yunqi still cared about him, and he still had a chance to restore Sheng Yunqi's friendship with him.
But now Sheng Yunqi has such an attitude, clearly wearing a hypocritical mask to deal with him and deceive him - this is Sheng Yunqi's attitude towards outsiders, how can he be treated in this way?
Chen Ye felt panic and anger at the same time. Perhaps it was because he had received special treatment from Sheng Yunqi from the very beginning and quickly became a friend recognized by Sheng Yunqi. He never thought that he would lose all these one day.
Chen Ye has always believed that Sheng Yunqi should always be so good to him and trust him so much.
But at this moment, Chen Ye realized that the one who truly held the initiative in this friendship from beginning to end was Sheng Yunqi, he could not do without Sheng Yunqi, he had plans towards Sheng Yunqi, and Sheng Yunqi could unilaterally break up with him at any time, and no matter how hard he tried to keep him, it would be impossible to save the relationship.
Chen Ye reached out to grab Sheng Yunqi's hand in panic: "Brother Sheng, please listen to my explanation. You have to believe my explanation. I just said those words suddenly as if I was possessed by a ghost. Those were not my true words. It was as if someone suddenly aroused the evil thoughts in my heart and made me confused for a moment. You also know that people have both good and evil sides. No one dares to guarantee that they have no evil thoughts. They are just hidden deep in their hearts and cannot be detected. But if someone secretly arouses evil thoughts..."
Chen Ye tried to shift the blame for his careless words onto a non-existent outsider.
Sheng Yunqi: “…” It was so funny. Did he have to believe that in the Sheng family’s old nest, in the place where Sect Master Lieyang had just left, someone was hiding in the dark and attacking Chen Ye, just to trigger Chen Ye’s evil thoughts and make Chen Ye say the words that would make them break up?
Sheng Yunqi didn't believe it at all, but he still showed a doubtful expression on his face: "Really? This is too dangerous. I will report it to my father and ask him to send someone to investigate. Brother Chen, please don't worry about this. If you are still worried, you can go to the Dan Hall and have someone check your body..."
Sheng Yunqi responded appropriately, with a gentle and polite tone, which was a very qualified attitude for a young master to entertain guests.
This attitude, which was obviously unfamiliar and polite, without any sense of intimacy, made Chen Ye even more uneasy.
Chen Ye wanted to continue talking, but Sheng Yunqi said goodbye: "Brother Chen, go back and have a rest. If you want to join the Lieyang Sect, you should prepare early. The Lieyang Sect will open its gates to recruit disciples next year. I will not disturb you anymore."
After saying that, Sheng Yunqi turned around and left.
Finally, he told Chen Ye that the Lieyang Sect would recruit disciples next year, and he was the one who asked Chen Ye to leave the Sheng family as soon as possible.
Chen Ye's mind is as full of tricks as a hornet's nest, so how could he not understand the hidden meaning of Sheng Yunqi's words?
Even if Sheng Yunqi didn't mean that, he could think about it and guess what it meant.
Chen Ye looked at Sheng Yunqi's leaving back with a grim expression. He stood there for a long time before returning to his guest house.
Sheng Yunqi was not the kind of person who lacked grace. He would not do such a thing as to drive Chen Ye away immediately or reduce his treatment after breaking off relations with him. He simply ignored Chen Ye.
Si Yuan, who had been paying attention to Sheng Yunqi and Chen Ye, looked at the way Sheng Yunqi handled things. He complained to Elder Sheng: "This kid is still too sentimental and too graceful."
Elder Sheng didn't think Sheng Yunqi did anything wrong: "Although the young master did the right thing by breaking off relations with Chen Ye because of what he said, it's not good to just turn against him. It would cause people who don't know the inside story to misunderstand the young master and affect his reputation."
After all, the Sheng family is not a poor family that cannot even afford to pay for a guest to continue staying in a high-end guest house, so there is no need to make things too awkward.
After all, it was just a verbal dispute, and Chen Ye was not sincere enough towards Sheng Yun in this friendship.
But Chen Ye hasn't done anything evil to stab Sheng Yunqi in the back. It would be fine if they broke off the relationship, but if the Sheng family simply kicked him out, that would be too ugly.
Si Yuan listened to Elder Sheng's words, shook his head slightly, but said nothing.
This is the disadvantage of being a child of aristocratic family. They have to consider reputation and family in everything.
If it were in the mortal world, it would certainly be the right thing to do, because we are all mortals and we have to consider the pressure of public opinion and our reputation.
But this is in the world of cultivation. If you cannot cultivate to your heart's content, your thoughts are not clear, you keep suppressing your nature, and you have no choice but to compromise yourself and make choices for the sake of the overall situation, then when you have to overcome the calamity of your inner demons in the future, it will be very difficult to get through it.
Oh, I almost forgot, the upper limit of cultivation in this world has been locked at the Spirit Transformation Stage. As long as you can’t cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, then there’s nothing to worry about.
Si Yuan was too lazy to say anything more. Anyway, Sheng Yunqi couldn't reach the tribulation stage in this world, so he didn't have to worry about whether his thoughts were clear or not, or think about any inner demons. It was best to follow the survival rules of this world.
