As soon as Zhao Feng and Gao Ran stepped into the valley, a disciple who was responsible for guarding the valley mouth suddenly appeared and blocked their way. And when he saw that the leader was actually Zhao Feng, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he quickly dodged and left.

"Looks like he's trying to stop you. You're a new face, after all...... It's just that what he didn't expect was that it was me who brought you!"

"Hmm. Come to think of it. However, he is ......"

"Hmm...... In terms of seniority, you should be regarded as a member of his grandmother's generation, but it is obviously inappropriate to call you like this! In the future, I will let them all call you 'senior sister'! Although this sect does not pay much attention to seniority, there must be a limit to how nonsense it is, and it is absolutely impossible to call it 'junior sister'! Let's call it 'senior sister'!"

"Well, Uncle Junior, when did you talk so much? I haven't said anything! But that's fine! You're more familiar than I am, so just do as you say! But who is his disciple in the same class? He doesn't look much older than me! But let him be in charge of guarding Taniguchi...... Could it be that he grew up in this valley since he was a child, and he is still very skilled?"

"It's okay! But compared to you, it must be beyond your reach!" After deliberately taking the opportunity to tease Gao Ran, Zhao Feng said again: "Although there are not many disciples left in the valley, there are still a minimum number of people. Otherwise, how could you disciples who only hang out all day long, but never think of the Medical Valley until the critical moment, be able to live so comfortably in the rivers and lakes?"

"Hehe, that's what I said!" Gao Ran obviously didn't take his joke just now seriously at all, and even directly treated it as if he hadn't heard it, and ignored it at all, but just continued to talk to him about the serious things she was most concerned about at the moment, and only listened to her own analysis: "If the Medical Valley can no longer make the people of the rivers and lakes fearful, then the disciples of the Medical Valley will naturally no longer be as proud of the rivers and lakes as they are now...... But then again, seeing that the limit of this valley lord is approaching, there is someone to choose the next valley master? Won't it be you? Or do you have no distinction between 'main branch' and 'side branch'? But you have another set of methods to choose the most suitable next valley master?"

"What are 'main branches' and 'side branches'?"

"Hmm...... That is to say, the disciples under the seat of your Gu Lord and their re-disciples - this branch is like the lineage of a great family like our Gao family...... However, the difference is that we follow the bloodline, and if you deduce according to this logic, then you should follow the 'valley master'!

"What I mean is that the so-called 'main branch' is only limited to the time when the current valley lord is still in power, and if the 'valley master' is replaced, then the original so-called 'main branch' will have to be classified as a 'side branch', and the 'main branch' of the new lineage will have to be counted from the new valley lord again...... Is that true of you?"

"Not really! I didn't tell you before, we don't pay much attention to seniority here. Then what are the 'main branches' and 'side branches', we won't pay attention to them, let alone worry about them!"

"Then how did you choose the next new valley master? Could it be that this has something to do with my master? Otherwise, why are you so obsessed with getting him back?"

"Now that Master's deadline is approaching, according to the rules, I have identified and informed all the disciples in the sect who are equivalent to me with the holy relics, and summoned them to return to the Medical Valley quickly, and then I plan to negotiate and select a suitable candidate among these people, and from then on stay in the valley to succeed the valley master, and I will not be allowed to leave the medical valley for half a step for the rest of my life! But I think there are not many people who can be summoned...... And the most reliable I can think of is only Senior Brother——Anyway, this valley master, I must be inappropriate!"

"What? You used the holy relics? Could it be that before I set foot in the territory of the Banana Country, when Master first proposed to me that he should act separately from me after entering the Banana Kingdom, he had actually received your summons? And the reason why you can't know his whereabouts is because he didn't respond to you, so the holy relics can't bring back any of his wishes to you?! However, isn't the holy relic still able to track the whereabouts of the disciples in the sect? Why don't you let it do this? Why don't you let it take you directly to him?"

"Oh, I didn't expect you, you're really stupid! Have you forgotten why I fell in love with you in the first place? If I dare to go to him alone, then what else can I do with your help?!"

"Uh...... That's right...... Hehe, I was confused for a while, and I forgot about your relationship......"

As she spoke, Gao Ran scratched the back of her head a little embarrassed, but then she felt quite puzzled, "However, the matter of choosing the new valley master is a big deal! Master, no matter how childish he is on weekdays, in the face of such a big event, he shouldn't be able to play childlike tricks on you! I see, it's clear that you have a weak heart, and you don't dare to face him alone, right?!"

"Hehe, that's good! There is progress! Although you still don't know what you're doing wrong, but at least, you'll be weak-hearted, and it already shows that you still have his place in your heart! Otherwise, you won't dare to face him because you've hurt him......"

"Why do you make me so unreasonable? I don't know much about the emotions in the eyes of the world...... But I can still tell whether others are happy or angry! But I just don't know what I'm doing wrong...... Besides, why do you insist that I am wrong, not him?

"Well, you're right!"

"Huh? You, aren't you admitting that you're wrong?"

"No, I'm just admitting it, and what you say makes sense!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Alas, Uncle Xiao, you are old, how do you look at things or only admit right and wrong?—— not to mention, your view of right and wrong is a bit problematic—— I'm afraid, in this whole world, only you don't think so......"

"Wouldn't it?

"Nonsense! Honestly, even if you don't take things to heart anymore, you should know that many of the things you care about a little bit are not completely under your control!

"What are you talking about? I don't understand ......"

When Gao Ran saw Zhao Feng's appearance, it really didn't look like he was pretending, he really didn't understand! Seeing this, she was even more convinced of the judgment in her heart, and said in a more determined tone than before: "Little uncle, let me ask you, why did you want to be so obsessed with your uncle and mother in the first place? You definitely didn't love her because you couldn't understand what love is in the eyes of ordinary people? Didn't you admit this yourself just now?—— you said that you don't know the ...... of those emotions in the eyes of the world."

"Uh...... Well, even if you're right, but so what?"

"Why, since you don't love your uncle, you have to get her...... No, to be exact, you want to keep her in your world forever through the relationship between husband and wife in the eyes of the world—— if you don't understand the word 'world', then you can understand it as a 'room' of your own!

"Little Uncle, if I guess correctly, although you keep calling your uncle and aunt 'Second Senior Sister', you have actually regarded her as a plaything that should belong to you for granted since she was a child, and can always accompany you——! You can ignore her or even forget her existence completely, but she can't leave your 'room' by herself, let alone be snatched and taken out of your 'room' by others!

"Is that so? Uncle Junior?!"

"I ......" Zhao Feng unconsciously fell into a lot of hard thought after hearing this, but after being silent for a long time, he only replied to her very innocently but extremely sincerely, "I don't know ......"

When Gao Ran saw it, she immediately rolled her eyes! A person like Zhao Feng, she had met it for the first time in her two lives! However, the strange thing was that she actually felt that she could "understand" him......

"Alas—" she sighed helplessly, and then said no more, but patiently comforted him, "all right! If you don't understand, then you don't want to! I see, you can't figure it out in your life......

"However, in the past, no matter who was right or wrong, it was never just one person's fault, nor was it just that you alone could make things the way they are now...... Those who are more or less involved in it also have their own responsibilities!

"And you, don't think that everything in this world should revolve around you—— don't always think that whatever you like, it should be yours, and what you don't like, it should disappear forever...... In fact, I think that you are one of those who have more or less to do with you all along—a participant in it, consciously or unconsciously, but inexplicably caught up in it!

"In the end, there is no essential difference between you and me, or from other people! We are all people, either actively or passively caught up in our own games and unable to help ourselves! I am not much better than you, and you are not much better than me!"

"Uh...... Girl...... What the hell are you talking about? It's hard to understand......"

"Oh! It's not that I'm so hard to understand, it's that you don't even want to think about it! Even if I tell you so bluntly, you still don't bother to think about it!

"I dare say that the depth of what I am talking about is certainly not as profound as the depth of your research in the field of medicine and poison!

For example, if I like to eat sour, I don't feel how sour I taste it, and if you are the opposite, it is not so much that you are afraid of sourness, but that you have never been interested in sourness, and you have never even tasted it——! You can't understand what this 'sourness' is all about, and you may even wonder how it tastes like this?!

"But in any case, the premise for you to get these feelings must be that you have the will to understand, to try, not to be forced. Otherwise, as long as you don't want to, you won't feel anything—— isn't that your 'strong point'?!"

"Oh—you say that, and I'll get it!"

"Heh!" But Gao Ran didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, only sneered, and stopped talking.

Although Zhao Feng did look like he really had a sudden realization, Gao Ran didn't think he really understood! Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly realized, but should be ashamed—— he was so self-righteous that he really had enough self-knowledge, then he would definitely be so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground because he knew how ignorant he was, he would be so arrogant and conceited! So that he can secretly do a painful reflection on his past deeds! and seriously plan how to implement the corresponding compensation?

-- and not like now, to be overjoyed by his "sudden realization"! and even a little proud......
