Chapter 104: The True Guide
Didn't question my feelings for my father?
Maybe everything happened for a reason?
Hearing this person's remarks, I barely managed to control my excitement, and instead of retorting, I listened quietly to him, wanting to know why he said this.
When this man saw that I was pretending to be calm, and knew that my composure in my heart had now overcome my impulse, he went on.
However, instead of explaining to me in the first place, this person asked me a question.
"Although the widow just tested you, but he really showed the widow's anger to you, for you now, you can't see the widow's true intentions just now, all you can feel is the widow's anger, and the deep fear and uneasiness in your heart."
"But even so, you were not overwhelmed by the fear in your heart, and in the end you overcame that fear, and said those words to the widow with reason, so that the widow could see the most real you in his bones."
"It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, when normal people face the anger of the widow, all they think about is how to make me angry, but you do the opposite, and state your thoughts to the widow in righteous words, neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable, not at all like the reaction of normal people in such a situation."
"So the widow is very curious, what kind of belief can make you speak to the widow under great pressure, are you really not afraid that the widow will die in anger?"
I could tell that although this person was very satisfied with my actions just now, he was very puzzled by my actions, and wanted to know why I controlled the fear in my heart and showed him the real me.
"Speaking of which, I was able to do that just now thanks to my father."
I quickly gave my own answer to the man's question, but the tone of my voice was noticeably low.
"I actually thought about it just now, it is better to obey the will of your predecessors and suppress the thoughts in my heart, but I suddenly remembered a sentence that my father taught me at the beginning, and it was this sentence that made me break through the fear in my heart and tell you what I really thought."
Looking at the burning gaze of this man staring at me, I said to him word by word the most precious treasure that my father had left for me.
"Men are as dead as iron!"
"What a man, to death!"
It can be seen that this person agrees with this sentence very much, and unconsciously opens his mouth to echo me.
"From this sentence alone, the widow can see your father's teachings and expectations for you, and you have really fulfilled this sentence and lived up to his good intentions."
"Thank you, senior."
I nodded slightly in acceptance of his compliment, and asked him seriously.
"Senior, now that I've answered your question, shouldn't you also tell me why you say that my father is the extra one?"
"Of course."
The man nodded at me as well, and his mouth returned to seriousness.
"The widow can fully understand your feelings for your father, and can also feel the incomprehension and anxiety in your heart, but as the so-called light is dark, after so many things, you have never seriously thought about what all this is for."
Seeing my still confused eyes, the man continued to ask me in a serious tone.
"You just said that if you hadn't met these people around you now, maybe your life would have been extremely peaceful, and you would never have anything to do with these rumors, but have you ever wondered why you got acquainted with them and embarked on this bizarre road."
Hearing his question, I replied to him while thinking about it.
"My previous life was peaceful, and the reason why I embarked on this road was entirely because during that meeting, Sun Zhen told me that I had obtained my father's whereabouts, so I came to Mount Emei with Shen Lang, and met Xue Nan in the Wannian Temple, starting from the statue of Bi Fang, and came into contact with these bizarre things......"
Before I could carefully sort out all this, the person in front of me directly interrupted me and said to me seriously.
"The things that follow have nothing to do with this, in fact, you have just mentioned the truth of the matter, but you deliberately ignored it, if it wasn't for the person who mentioned your father's whereabouts to you, how could you go to Mount Emei with your character to find that illusory possibility?"
Although I still don't believe in my heart that my father is the one who is extra, after hearing what this person said, I have to admit that what he said is exactly what I have been deliberately ignoring all along.
I'm a bit old-fashioned in character, and I've always been at peace with the world, even if someone tells me that there is a great treasure ahead, I will only smile and watch others rush to find the treasure, and I won't do anything myself.
I would never have given up on my peaceful life because of anything else, and the only thing that could break my stagnant heart and cause it to ripple violently was about my mysteriously missing father.
So what this person said is not wrong, Chunting and the others are actually just accompanying me to explore this bizarre road, and the people who really let me embark on this road are actually not them.
For my own emotional reasons, I have always deliberately ignored the possibility that my father brought me on this path, and it is not until today that the person in front of me ruthlessly punctures the remaining illusions in my heart, and I am able to face up to this reality.
He was not wrong, it was because of my father, and it was to find his whereabouts that I willingly embarked on this road, thus beginning my incredible experience.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, I still asked him unwillingly.
"Senior, isn't this a bit far-fetched, I admit that I really set foot on this road because of my father, but my father's disappearance was obviously a last resort, could this be just a coincidence, not my father's intention?"
Hearing this unwilling reluctance from my mouth, the man slowly shook his head and looked at my left hand again.
"Even if your father's disappearance was really a last resort, but you ignored another thing, this mountain and sea ring is the treasure of the Guigu lineage, where did your father find it in the first place, and why did he wear such a treasure on your hand, is it also a coincidence?"
