Chapter 1384: None of Them Are Easy to Deal With

"That's true. The people you face either want to use you as a lab rat for experiments, or they want to control your destiny. In short, none of them are easy to deal with." Liu Ruxi smiled and said, "The things you carry on your shoulders are far more than what we carry."

"Yes, there's no helping it. Destiny is born this way." Chen Yu smiled and said, "What can I even change? So now I can only struggle against them; apart from that, there is no other way."

"You have already done very well. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have achieved such accomplishments," Liu Ruxi said with a faint smile.

"What I have done is still far from enough." Chen Yu sighed slightly and said, "At least up until now, I still have no way to deal with them."

"Everyone in this world has things they are helpless about; we are all the same." Liu Ruxi sighed slightly and said, "Just like you, just like me, we can never shake off the shackles of destiny."

"Heh, yes, none of us can shake off the shackles of destiny." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "It seems that our whole lives are spent struggling against destiny."

"But what have we gained in the end? The destiny you think you've shaken off is actually just another pit. Destiny is something no one can struggle against."

"Then since that's the case, why do we still struggle?" Liu Ruxi raised her head, her eyes looking straight into the depths of Chen Yu's heart: "That is because in our bones, we all have a spirit that refuses to admit defeat."

"Even if we have no way to escape the manipulation of destiny in the end, at least we are not content with the status quo. Having this perseverance is enough."

Chen Yu was somewhat silent. He did indeed have perseverance, because his destiny—the destiny of his past and present lives—was extremely absurd.

In his past life, his parents had long since passed away, and he had spent his first twenty-plus years in loneliness. With great difficulty, he finally had someone he loved, and he had also succeeded in starting his own business.

But he never dreamed that his most beloved wife would actually collude with his best brother to set him up.

Fortunately, the heavens gave him a chance to start over, but he never dreamed that after living a second life, he still could not escape the manipulation of destiny.

His grandfather and his maternal grandfather were perhaps the two biggest oddballs in this world; they had played him in circles.

But so what? Because of these things, would he stop struggling? No. In this life, he had people he cared about, so he had to rise up and resist, even if the gap between him and them was still vast.

"What are you thinking about?" Liu Ruxi glanced at Chen Yu and smiled faintly: "Are you thinking of just lying flat?"

"No, I would like to lie flat, but I don't have the qualifications." Chen Yu smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "At least until I have the ability to protect the people around me, I will not lie flat."

"As for destiny..." Chen Yu paused here.

Then he raised his head, gazed at the vast galaxy, and cursed, "To hell with destiny."

"Haha, good, good, to hell with destiny." Liu Ruxi clapped her hands and laughed: "The two of us are actually the same. We are not willing to submit to destiny, so we chose to struggle."

"Although our future is bleak, at least we are working hard, we are struggling. Having this effort is enough."

"Thank you." Chen Yu let out a long breath. Only then did he understand that the reason Liu Ruxi chose to walk back was not to clear her mind.

It was to guide him. If it weren't for her guidance like this, Chen Yu might have fallen into another vortex.

That is the Heart Demon. People all have Heart Demons. If you are not content with the status quo, you will be devoured by the Heart Demon.

Chen Yu had always been working hard to struggle against destiny, but he felt that destiny was unfair.

Therefore, a Heart Demon had already sprouted in his heart. Although he had dodged several Heart Demon Tribulations before, this thing was hard to kill off completely, so he still had a Heart Demon now.

If not for these words from Liu Ruxi, in the near future, he might have fallen into a Heart Demon Tribulation once again.

"Alright, let's go. The road ahead is still long." Liu Ruxi smiled faintly. She glanced at Chen Yu and then walked forward first.

Chen Yu smiled slightly, followed behind her, and left with her.

In the depths of a mountain, Zhou Xianzong had been kneeling before a cave dwelling.

This mountain was the highest mountain in the surrounding area, known as Ming Mountain.

The reason it was called Ming Mountain was that there was almost no human presence for a hundred miles around this mountain.

Moreover, very few people set foot here. It is rumored that this place had long been a land of bitter cold, receiving heavenly punishment from above and surging with Yellow Springs from below, belonging to a Yin Land rejected by all directions.

Therefore, this place was an ominous place, and no one liked to live here.

However, Zhou Xianzong did not know how long he had been kneeling before this nameless cave dwelling. Although he felt his legs were sore and numb, he still held on, because the person inside the cave could help him.

"Junior Uncle, the sect leader's decree has already been issued. I beg you to come out of the mountain and help me. You are also a member of the Cloud Hut Residence; no matter what happened in the past, you are still a disciple of the Cloud Hut Residence." Zhou Xianzong raised his head and pleaded bitterly: "Can you really just watch as our disciples are slaughtered and do nothing at all?"

Having listened to the stranger, this guy had already followed the stranger's intentions to frame Chen Yu for the death of his junior sister.

And he had also successfully obtained the Transfer Order from the sect leader. Holding the token, he came to this place to find his Junior Uncle.

Li Mingshan, the Junior Brother of the Cloud Hut Residence sect leader, had originally been in the running for the position of sect leader, but due to certain reasons, he had been defeated.

Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit; this is a principle that will never change.

Therefore, after losing, Li Yunshan was sealed in this godforsaken place. To the outside world, it was claimed that he was in seclusion, but whether it was seclusion or not, only he himself knew.

"Junior Uncle, are you really not coming out? Sect Leader Master has always treated you as a junior brother. No matter how great the misunderstandings between you have been over the years, they are not greater than the ancestral teachings of the Cloud Hut Residence." Seeing no response, Zhou Xianzong's voice became even more hysterical.

But he howled here for a long time, and the person inside still had no intention of coming out.

Zhou Xianzong sat down on the ground in frustration. He let out a long breath, thinking to himself that he had acted so hard, even using a tear-jerker, but the other party didn't react at all. Was he sure he wasn't casting pearls before swine?

Helpless, he dared not leave, because this was his only way.

If this plan did not succeed, he really did not know what to do. A perfectly good matter had been botched by him; from now on, he would never receive even a shred of trust again.
