Chapter 125: Prepare to go out

Gu Zhou Jian saw him retort and laughed before saying:

"Ha ha, you’re not a perverted stalker, ok? Anyway, you probably heard our conversation, right? What do you think about it?"

"How should I put it? It just seems like an interesting play to me. That kid seems to truly love you, yet you had the heart to steal from his family." Jun Wu Xiao said.

She heard that and wanted to explain a bit, as it’s easy to be misunderstood when only seeing the result and not the cause. She said:

"I don’t dare say I’m completely in the right, but it was my family who was wrong in the first place. If two families want to fight to the death, then fight to the death; if they want to place bets, then place bets, but why drag me into it as a wager? At that time, everything was fine for me, but then most of the members of my family died, and I was turned into a booty. It made me angry. So I found a way to escape, but I thought running away wouldn’t be fun enough, so I stole something before leaving to make it more enjoyable. As for that guy, I don’t hate him, I just don’t love him."

Jun Wu Xiao laughed upon hearing that:

"Ha ha ha, so in the end, you stole something and ran away just because it was fun?"

"Eh, saying that isn’t wrong." Gu Zhou Jian nodded.

Jun Wu Xiao saw that her personality was quite unusual, but on the contrary, it matched his well, acting on whims and doing what felt fun.

Among the group, only he and Chen Wo Lun acted on whims, while the others were much more serious. Perhaps it’s because they have great responsibility and these two people, one cultivates to understand life and death, and the other cultivates because he feels uncomfortable. However, the two of them also love everything and want to protect everything.

Gu Zhou Jian is the same. Although she likes to do what she wants, her vision when serious is very large. Not much different from Jun Wu Xiao and his friends.

"Don’t you intend to seek revenge? From what you said, your parents and relatives were all killed by them." Jun Wu Xiao asked curiously.

Gu Zhou Jian immediately replied:

"Pfft, I spit on it, revenge is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of, so why should I do it? This was their choice, both families agreed to fight to the death, so what reason is there for revenge? Death is inevitable, whether it’s sooner or a hundred years later, it doesn’t make any significant difference from the perspective of the universe.

Besides, what would I gain from revenge? It’s tiring, dangerous, and offers no practical benefits. Momentary inner peace? I’d rather you tell me that after revenge I’d receive a pile of resources, then it would seem worthwhile. But if I had such a narrow perspective, I wouldn’t have the qualifications to go further on the path of cultivation."

Jun Wu Xiao immediately clapped his hands upon hearing that, completely agreeing with her this time. He laughed and said:

"Ha ha ha, exactly. Isn’t it just death? Since death is an inevitability in normal life so why do people take revenge? Instead of wasting time on meaningless revenge, why not use it to develop yourself and pursue your own path? I’m starting to like you more and more. But if you’re not seeking revenge, why did you steal from them? Was it just for fun?"

Yue Guang nodded and said:

"It’s just for fun. Even my whole family can’t defeat them, but if I can do it alone, it feels very accomplished and very exciting."

"I see." Jun Wu Xiao nodded, not judging her actions.

To him, everyone probably has different interests. As long as they have the capability, they can do whatever they want. If they mess up and die, it’s just their fault.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude towards her explanation, she asked:

"Don’t you think I’m cruel and heartless?"

"Cruel? Good and evil don’t inherently exist in the universe’s rules. They’re merely human constructs for protecting and developing society. Whether you good or evil, it holds no special meaning to the universe, just adds a bit of color, so it’s not that important." Jun Wu Xiao said.

Gu Zhou Jian was quite surprised to hear that. In school, they always taught people to be good. These things are very positive from a human perspective. But from the standpoint of the universe, they really hold no significant meaning.

"I see. So you’re not entirely childish, huh? You have some deep understandings." she said.

"Ha ha, I think so. While I may lack current human knowledge in science or society, I do have a general understanding of the world. After all, if I didn’t learn a bit in over two hundred years, I would truly be foolish." Jun Wu Xiao laughed and replied.

Hearing that, Gu Zhou Jian was slightly surprised. She knew Jun Wu Xiao had lived a long time, probably over a hundred years, but didn’t expect it to be over two hundred years. She said:

"Wow, I didn’t think you’d lived over two hundred years and still be as childish as me."

"Hmph, so what if I’m childish? As long as I’m happy." Jun Wu Xiao retorted.

Suddenly, Gu Zhou Jian looked at his clothes. They were so old, indicating that he hadn’t left this place in a long time. She said:

"It seems you haven’t left the Kunlun mountains in a long time. Do you want to go out and play with me?"

"Eh, aren’t you planning to cultivate? I thought you wanted to become stronger?" Jun Wu Xiao asked, puzzled.

"I see that you haven’t been out in the world for a long time, so I want to take you out for some fun. Consider it a way to repay you for saving me." Gu Zhou Jian said.

"You don’t need to repay me. After all, we are Path companions." Jun Wu Xiao said.

She glared at him made him shut his mouth, and then she said:

"So, do you want to go or not?"

"Fine, fine, I’ll go. You may not be strong, but you sure are fierce." Jun Wu Xiao said.

She raised her fist as if to hit him but stopped short, knowing that hitting him would hurt her hand more than him. She said:

"Just you wait, I can’t hit you, but I can ask my sister to do it."

"Eh, ha ha, you’re talking about Yue Guang. She can’t beat me." Jun Wu Xiao laughed.

"Then wait until I’m strong enough, and I’ll definitely beat you." Gu Zhou Jian said.

Jun Wu Xiao placed his hand on her head, patting her like a child, and said:

"Well, try your best. Even in a hundred years, it won’t be enough."

She tried to pull his hand away but didn’t have the strength, so she could only puff out her cheeks in anger:

"Hmph, three hundred years east, three hundred years west. Don’t underestimate a poor girl."

Jun Wu Xiao found this amusing and thought to himself:

"It seems Chu Wu once said something similar. But back then, it only took about three seconds for his words to come true."
