"To you, it's just a change of scenery to play mind games, it's meaningless."
Li Chen laughed and said, "It seems you know me pretty well."
“Playing mind games is my forte, but that's also why I dislike those so-called martial arts masters and their sects. They just eat, sleep, and fight all day, disrupting the imperial court’s efforts to educate the people. Why don't they use their strength to serve the country They don't even contribute, yet they enjoy protection from war by living in the rear while causing internal strife and chaos.”
Listening to Li Chen's complaints, Gong Huiyu said calmly: "Apart from some martial arts families, most people who join sects or wander the Jianghu are actually driven by their livelihood. If everyone had a home, clothes, and food, living in peace and contentment, who would want to live a life of bloodshed"
Not everyone who ventures out into the world becomes a revered hero. The vast majority of people spend their lives as mere low-ranking figures, easily killed in a single chaotic battle, perhaps even dozens or more. These individuals may not even have a name to their credit.
For example, the followers of the White Lotus Sect, if your government provides the common people with good food and clothing, who would want to follow the White Lotus Sect
Gong Huiyu's words left Li Chen speechless.
After holding it in for so long, Li Chen finally managed to say: "You're right."
This was Li Chen's first time being confronted by Gong Huiyu, and his first time verbally admitting defeat.
Knowing that Li Chen had always been arrogant and sharp-tongued, Gong Huiyu, who was known for her own biting wit, gave him a surprised glance. Then she turned her head and silently continued reading the book in her hands.
"Will she die"
Gong Huiyu suddenly asked a nonsensical question.
Li Chen stretched his neck to look at the book in Gong Huiyu's hand. As the author, he glanced at it and knew that Gong Huiyu was asking about an important plot character. He smiled and said, "Do you want her to die or live"
Gong Huiyu hesitated for a while, then said: "She's actually quite pitiful. She's always been a puppet in the villain's hands. The saddest thing is that she knows all this and is still willing to do it. You named her well, Lin Fei'e. At first glance, it doesn't sound like a human name, but if you read it carefully, you can see that her destiny was determined the moment her name was given."
"A moth to a flame."
"There aren't that many perfect stories in the world."
Li Chen lay back and stretched, saying: "But since we're in a storybook, we don't have to be so tragic. If you don't want her to die, I can give her a happy ending."
"Forget it."
Gong Huiyu gently shook her head and said, "This is her fate."
The tone of this sentence, Li Chen listening always felt a little off, just wanted to ask carefully, but saw Gong Huiyu stood up.
With both feet hovering in mid-air, Gong Huiyu said to Li Chen, "Call me when it's time to depart."
The moment the voice ceased, the person vanished.
A gentle breeze just came by, swirling up a faint trace of fragrance left behind by Gong Huiyu, lingering at Li Chen's nose.
"This woman... she's really something!"
Li Chen's words were a double entendre. After speaking, he got up, patted his buttocks, and shouted to the guards below: "Go, call the Crown Princess here. This palace invites her to enjoy the moon tonight."
After a moment, Zhao Rui hurried over, her skirt held up in her hand. She turned her head to look around, but she didn't see Li Chen anywhere.
"Looking for something"
Above Zhao Rui's head, Li Chen's voice came.ilion, there are carved dragons and painted beams; all the decorations and furnishings are carefully arranged. No wonder it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.Upon reaching the top floor, overl...
