Hearing him mention his "origins," Chang Le's eyes grew even colder, revealing a hint of ferocity.
"He was just someone who was experimented on. After hundreds of years of hard-won peace, do you really have to stir up trouble again?"
Lu Sheng sighed softly: "Little girl, you're being naive. You know very well how important Shen Fuguang is."
Three hundred years ago, the "deification faction" failed to stop Shen Fuguang from helping the Central Plains establish the Nine Regions government.
Three hundred years later, they will not give up on splitting up the Ninth District and the Greater District, nor will they give up on Shen Fuguang.
"Three hundred years ago, he was the only one left from the Age of Gods. He and his four ancestors, the Gu family, the Hua family, the Qin family, and the Ying family, led the reconstruction and presided over the affairs of the Central Plains."
"At that time, the [God-Making Faction] was newly established and tried its best to invite Shen Fuguang, but he resolutely refused and worked with several major families in the Central Plains. He also expelled the [God-Making Faction], almost causing its destruction."
From that moment on, a rift formed between the two sides.
"This time, the [deification faction] is determined to win."
"This is the answer given by the party, and it is also my answer."
Lu Sheng looked at Chang Le, who was deep in thought, and said, "Let me add one more thing: following Shen Fuguang will not end well. You'd better make plans as soon as possible."
Chang Le suddenly looked up, his sharp canine teeth bared: "I will never leave him!"
Lu Sheng was taken aback by her anger. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the girl's eyes were a little red, and he began to guess what was going on.
"What? Shen Fuguang also advised you to leave?"
Chang Le lowered her eyes and remained silent, pursing her lips.
"And then you refused, and you even had a fight, right? And then you came to me hoping to find a way to break the ice?"
Chang Le turned his head.
Lu Sheng shrugged: "Looks like I was right."
He leaned closer with a sly grin: "Hey, Xiao Chang Le, tell me, what did he say to you?"
Chang Le rolled her eyes at him.
Lu Sheng wasn't annoyed and said, "Tell me about it. Maybe after you hear my advice, I'll know how to persuade him!"
Chang Le hesitated for a moment and said, "He deliberately tried to upset me. He deliberately said bad things to upset me."
"What's up?"
Chang Le fell silent.
Lu Sheng wisely refrained from pressing the issue further, instead asking, "Are you angry because of what he said, or because of his act of kicking you out?"
Chang Le shook his head: "I'm angry at myself."
"I will be a burden."
Lu Sheng felt as if his heart had been poked.
Oh, so you felt that you hadn't contributed as much as Shen Fuguang?
How could such a wonderful girl have fallen for that scumbag Shen Fuguang? Why haven't I managed to snag one myself?
Lu Sheng carefully considered his words and said, "What do you mean by 'a burden'? Is it because your cultivation is inferior to his?"
Shen Fuguang's cultivation is unmatched; the entire world is a burden to him. He should transcend the mortal realm and ascend to heaven, where there are no more burdens.
"But is that a 'burden'?"
“Little girl, that’s called ‘concern,’ something he did willingly. If you choose to leave because of that, Shen Fuguang will also feel that he’s dragging you down.”
"The affection between people is not a debt. How can you expect me to be good to you and then expect me to repay you with the exact same amount of affection? Is that what life is about? That's just keeping accounts."
“I’ve known Shen Fuguang for decades, and he always made me feel like he was all alone, like no one could get close to him. Until the first time we met, the person in front of you was the real him I had never seen before.”
"You are very important to him."
"Secondly, what about yourself? Are you even an adult? How old are you? You challenged the North Salosha family and caused chaos in the Seventh District Blood Arena. How many people can match your abilities? And you call that a 'burden'?"
"How stupid! You actually came to my enemy's territory for this!"
Lu Sheng shook his head with an air of "a wise outsider's perspective," and said in a serious tone, "Young people in love, you know..."
Chang Le's downcast expression eased somewhat, but a bitter smile appeared on his face: "I know what you're saying, I understand, but... my very existence is a problem."
"What?"
Chang Le spoke so softly that even Lu Sheng didn't hear it.
"It's nothing, thank you for your advice, I've come to terms with it."
Chang Le leaned back as if he were at home, looking around and said, "This is the base you acquired? It's a bit shabby."
Lu Sheng sighed helplessly: "You've appeased you, and now you're turning your back on me? You're just kicking me while I'm down?"
"You heartless bastard, I just told Shen Fuguang on you."
As he spoke, he was about to turn on the communicator.
Chang Le immediately used vines to entangle his hand, her expression stern: "Don't tell him!"
Lu Sheng was taken aback: "You...you didn't sneak out, did you?"
Chang Le remained expressionless and silent.
Lu Sheng knew he had guessed right at a glance, and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "So that's why Shen Fuguang was so stingy that he didn't even bring a guard for you. Turns out you came here on your own."
"You're traveling such a long way alone! If anything happens, Shen Fuguang might tear me apart!"
"What's wrong with me wandering a little further out on my own turf?"
Chang Le pouted slightly, her expression calm and composed.
“Sigh, what you said… makes perfect sense.” Lu Sheng was speechless.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Lu Sheng's eyes widened.
"No! Then how did you know I was here?"
If you had asked Shen Fuguang, he would have guessed you were coming to see me; he should be here by now! But he didn't come… How did you know where I was?"
Chang Le smiled with a hint of smugness.
"Stop laughing, say something!"
Chang Le tapped the communicator: "The internet, huh? Go to an internet cafe, old man. Ever heard of hackers?"
