The little palace master bit his lip fiercely, cocked his toes, and kicked Chu Ge's calf bone under the table lightly and heavily.

"Huh?"

Chu Ge raised his head, looked at the little palace master with a suspicious face, and kept chewing in his mouth, "What are you kicking me for, do you still want to eat?" ”

“…… Never mind. ”

The little palace master was deflated all of a sudden, and said speechlessly, "Don't talk about my business, let's talk about your recovery progress, what's the matter, now that the perception recovery is fast, you can monitor the aura ripples within a radius of several miles?" ”

"Nope."

Chu Ge shook his head, "Even at my peak, I have never been so powerful, how is it possible!" ”

"Then you were scaring other elementary school students just now."

The little palace master said, "You can't lie to them, right?" ”

"How can it be said that it is a lie, it is just a white lie to motivate them to do more radio exercises and eye exercises."

Chu Ge said seriously, "Even if they don't understand now, they will definitely thank me in the future." ”

The little palace master stared at Chu Ge for a long time, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, I really don't understand what is going on in your head, if you don't live in the luxury apartment that the authorities reward you, you just want to come back and live in this kind of place."

"Also, our business has been getting on the rails lately, and there are so many places that need your help, but you're showing up less and less often - would you rather lie here and fool schoolchildren than attend those real high-end occasions?

"You should know that now the authorities are supportive of the business between you and our cultivators, and even, the authorities are eager to launch a model, which has the effect of 'standing on the city gate and a thousand golden horse bones', killing Yan Luo and helping Zhao Lian capture Zhao Jinhu These two things prove your loyalty and ability, and the authorities are not against you participating in a large number of cultivators' enterprises - this can be regarded as a reward from the authorities, there will never be any problems, why do you have to make yourself so low-key?"

Chu Ge ate all the wontons in three or two bites, and even drank the sesame sauce seasoning, then wiped his mouth with satisfaction, burped, and said: "You may not believe it when you say it - I like it, and I also need to be low-key, I feel that my current limelight is too strong, as the so-called 'there are many people who are popular', I want to cool down a little, and be quiet alone, which is more conducive to recovery." ”

“……”

The little palace master said, "I really don't believe it. ”

"A year ago, I didn't believe I would be such a person."

Chu Ge's face was full of confusion, and the chaos in his heart couldn't be sorted out, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he just said clumsily, "At that time, I was about to graduate, and I had just come into contact with "Earth Peerless", and I also fantasized about how I would work hard if the Immortal Cultivation Realm really invaded on a large scale, and lived a life of making money every day, being a beautiful woman in a fragrant car, sitting in a mansion, entering and exiting high society, and talking and laughing with peerless powerhouses.

"But now, this life has really come to me, and I have a very trance-like sense of unreality, and a faint ...... I always feel that those lively ribbon-cutting ceremonies, full of friends and songs, star-studded talk shows, and luxury apartments and villas are not what I really want, or rather, they are like too greasy big fish and meat, I want to die when I don't eat them, and it feels good to eat once or twice, but I eat every day, eat every meal, and I really want to vomit. ”

"Oh?"

The little palace master said, "Then what do you really want?" ”

"I don't know ...... either"

Chu Ge's face showed a trace of confusion and a hint of excitement, blending expressions, and muttered, "Do you know, I've been dreaming for the past half a month, and I often dream of Colonel Ning Lie, Ms. Golia, 'Crazy' Ning Xiaofeng, the Sword of Flames, Black Lightning, and Yan Luo.

"In the vivid dreams, I seem to have returned to the time when I was dueling with them, especially the moment of life and death, my brain cells are like very advanced cameras and photocopiers, completely copying that second and playing it back in my mind repeatedly.

"In that second, I could clearly see the elusive bullets fired by 'Colonel' Ning Lie, I could see Lady Golia's resentful and gloomy eyes, I could hear the mad laughter of 'Madman' Ning Xiaofeng and the fury of the Flame Sword, I could smell the hatred on Black Lightning's body, and the lingering smell of blood from the Immortal Cultivation Realm on Yan Luo's body.

"It's very strange, when I met these fierce people, madmen, murderers and demons in the real world, I was pressed and beaten by them almost every time, and every time I rubbed on the edge of life and death, rubbed and rubbed, and every time I was scared of the fart, I swore to God that if I could escape this time, I would live an honest life after I went back, and I would never die again.

"But in the vivid dreams—even though I didn't know it was a dream, and thought of them as other, more real realities, I had no fear or remorse, and all my fear and remorse were transformed into intense excitement, as if it were only in that second, in the moment when I passed by the bullet of the 'Colonel,' the gaze of Miss Golia, the chainsaw of the black lightning, and the flames of Yanluo...... Alive.

"Every time I wake up from a nightmare like this, I sweat profusely, my muscles ache, and I feel like I'm really fighting in a dream.

However, the kind of transgression that seeped out of every pore, the sweat that erupted like a volcano, the kind of contraction that spread from the tail vertebrae all the way down the spine to the Tianling cover, brought the refreshment that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, it was simply like a young man with strong blood in the middle of the night...... You know, but it's a hundred times more refreshing! ”

"Wait—"

The little palace master frowned, "What is 'I understand', I don't understand!" ”

"If you don't understand, forget it, I'm just making an analogy."

Chu Ge sighed and said, "I didn't understand why 'Colonel' Ning Lie was obviously able to be recruited by the authorities, but he still had to take risks to loot strategic materials, and he was still planning to escape to the immortal cultivation realm so crazy.

"But now, I find that I vaguely understand him, this is the meaning of his existence, and only in the most intense rain of bullets can he really feel that he is still alive!"

The little palace master was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, but, hiding here, you can find the meaning of your existence?" ”

"Of course not, but this is where I grew up and where I first set my ambitions."

Chu Ge said, "Coming back here can awaken the ...... in my body The feeling of hunger makes me think quietly about what I really want.

"I'm sorry, maybe it's a bit hypocritical to say that, but I really find out now that the reason that drives me to fight is not to get contribution points and cultivation resources, to constantly improve the realm, and to keep improving the realm, as well as my homeland, compatriots, earth civilization and the like, at least not just that.

"I want to fight, without any other reason, just because of the fight itself, it's as simple as that.

"So, I can't let all that messy business and publicity disturb my truest heart, you know what I mean?"

"Probably understood."

The small palace master said, "That is to say, you still like the feeling of being surrounded by female fans, but you don't fight for female fans, even if one day, your female fans are all gone, will you still fight without hesitation?" ”

"That's probably what it means."

Chu Ge said, "During the recovery from the injury, I didn't gain nothing, at least I gradually realized my heart - the beauty of the fragrant car, the honorary status, the luxury villa and the worship of female fans for me, it is like eating barbecue when giving all kinds of exquisite side dishes, side dishes are of course very good things, as long as they are given for free, it doesn't matter how much they come, but in the final analysis, barbecue is the most important thing, even if there are no side dishes, as long as there is barbecue, it is enough, on the other hand, if there is no barbecue, even if the amount of side dishes is enough to stuff me, The meal was all anticlimactic. ”

"Understood."

The master of the small palace said, "There is a very interesting phenomenon in the world of cultivating immortals, the sect leader or head of a sect is often not the monk with the highest realm and the strongest combat effectiveness, and the monk with the strongest combat effectiveness is often disdainful, and even very tired of competing for the position of the head of the sect.

"It seems that if we can form a sect, I am more suitable to be the leader, and you are more suitable to be the number one master in the sect, which is not bad, at least everyone can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, perform their own duties, and it is not easy to have contradictions." 8)
