Chapter 40: The Result of One of the Two

In fact, unlike many people's opinions, in my opinion, there is no cruel thing in the world than to face a choice between two or the other.

The reason is very simple, because in my opinion, whether it is one in a hundred or one in a thousand, because there are too many choices, the possibility of choosing the right one is too small, so people are actually ready to choose the wrong option in their hearts before choosing.

In other words, in such a situation, it is actually normal to make a wrong choice, and if it is really a burst of luck to choose the right answer, it is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.

But when faced with an either-or situation, people feel very differently than before.

Because when faced with a two-choice choice, no matter which one of them is chosen, there is a 50% probability of right or wrong, and because of this, people will always have hope in their hearts when faced with such a choice.

And it is precisely because people have hope in their hearts when they are in this situation that they worry that they have made the wrong choice, and they will feel extra torment before making a choice.

What's more, the situation that Ling Xuan is facing now is far from being right and wrong, he is now facing even a choice that can change the safety of everyone, in this situation, he is far more tormented than people think.

Just when I was secretly worried about Ling Xuan in my heart, Ling Xuan, who had been pondering for a long time, finally made a move.

Under the quiet gaze of everyone, Ling Xuan suddenly laughed, looking at his state at the moment, it seemed that he had made his own choice.

Seeing that everyone's eyes had been attracted to him, Ling Xuan began to pace rhythmlessly in place, and at the same time spoke unhurriedly to Juekong.

"Master Juekong, no matter what your ultimate goal is, I want to thank you for your respect and thank you for giving us a chance to choose."

Hearing Ling Xuan's words, a hint of indifference appeared on Juekong's face, and he looked at Ling Xuan and responded calmly.

"The donor's words are serious, as the so-called leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future, you and I are not enemies in the Great Xiangguo Temple, so the poor monks naturally want to give the donors a chance to choose, but I don't know what kind of choice the donor made in the end?"

"It has been said since ancient times that the greatest thing in life is heaven, earth, king, parent, and teacher."

Although Ling Xuan made his own choice, he didn't directly say it to Juekong, but said something that seemed to have nothing to do with himself.

"Although it is said that the heavens are the supreme, dominating everything, matching the heavens with the earth, and cultivating all things, Ling Xuan is a layman, and he is far from touching the mysteries of heaven and earth, so among the five, although I admire heaven and earth, this heaven and earth are too far away for me."

"And in addition to the heaven and earth, the rest are the king, the relatives, and the teacher, the closest relatives of people are their parents, and the parents are the heaven and earth of their children, but I have a miserable background, and now I have no relatives in the world, and this so-called pro-Ling Xuan naturally can't be mentioned."

"In other words, among the five heavens, earth, king, relatives, and teachers, the only thing Ling Xuan needs to take into account is the only remaining monarch and teacher."

Speaking of this, Ling Xuan's gaze passed through the Juekong in front of him, and then through the heavy night, looking straight into the Great Xiangguo Temple, although he didn't actually see anything, but it seemed that he suddenly had momentum, and his tone was full of determination.

"Master Juekong, we have already said before that the reason why we came here is because my lord was invited by an unknown person to come to the Great Xiangguo Temple to talk about it, and we are worried about the safety of my lord, so we will enter the Great Xiangguo Temple at night to try to ensure the safety of my lord."

"Ling Xuan's life is miserable, the first half of his life has always been alone, alone, never felt anyone's respect, I thought I would spend this life like this, but I didn't expect to meet my master, thanks to my lord who did not give up, accepted me into Guanshan, and passed on my magical powers."

"Master Juekong, for me, my master is not just a leader in a symbolic sense, he is not only the king I respect in my heart, but also a mentor and friend in my life, and an existence that Ling Xuan can follow regardless of life and death."

After finishing speaking, Ling Xuan no longer spoke, but stared at Juekong in front of him with a blazing gaze, as if nothing big could change his decision at this moment.

Although my eyes were always fixed on Ling Xuan, after hearing what Ling Xuan said, the corner of my eye kept observing the Chun Pavilion beside me, and after Ling Xuan's words ended, I found that Chun Ting's body trembled invisibly.

Although Ling Xuan's tone of words was flat, the seriousness in them was overflowing, and he didn't know that I was hiding with Chunting and Yi He, silently watching their every move, so what he said just now was not Ling Xuan's flattery, but the truest thoughts in his heart.

After Ling Xuan's sincere remarks, how could everyone not know what the choice he had made, and hearing that Ling Xuan could follow him so disregarding life and death, even if it was a hard-hearted Chun Ting, how could he not be deeply moved by it?

Under my secret observation, Chunting's hand pretended to wipe his sweat and gently brushed the corners of his eyes, but his mouth was still hard.

"Ling Xuan, this person, was originally an eight-foot man who stood up to the sky, why do you put on this little daughter now, this is really ugly."

Hearing Chunting's stiff-mouthed remarks, Yi He and I glanced at each other, trying to hold back the smiles on each other's faces, and then looked at the latest developments in the field.

Juekong is a senior monk of the Juezi generation, naturally he is a person with a clear mind, although Ling Xuan did not say his choice, but after hearing his remarks, how could Juekong not know Chunting's final choice.

Therefore, just after Ling Xuan's words fell, Juekong's eyes looked at Ling Xuan, and there was a faint regret in his tone.

"Amitabha, the donor is really a person who values love and righteousness, but now the master in the donor's mouth is not here, so naturally I can't hear what the donor just said, which is a pity."

"Master Juekong, I respect you as a monk in this Great Xiangguo Temple, but I didn't expect you to be interested in it now."

It seemed that his mood began to relax after saying his choice, so after hearing what Juekong said, Ling Xuan responded with a laugh.

"Master Juekong, what I just said is what I really think in my heart, no matter whether Brother Ting can hear what I just said or not, it will not affect my final choice in the slightest, and in that case, what is the pity of this matter?"
