Chapter 1361: Chapter 1381: You Are Luckier and Happier Than Me _1

"Tell a story?"

There was a strange look on Li Yongzhi’s face. This little guy didn’t seem to have much fear of him.

"It seems you’re not afraid of me because you’re sure I won’t kill you, or hurt you?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "It’s not that, just that my childhood experiences were different from most people’s. I have respect for the powerful, but I don’t have an innate sense of inferiority."

Li Yongzhi twisted his neck and chuckled, "Alright then, since you guys woke me up from here, and since I am free anyway, tell me about your adventures. Considering your young age, how much could you possibly have experienced?"

Lin Chen sat down with legs crossed and smiled, "I am not from the Immortal Realm, I come from the Human World, which is above the Barren Wilderness, and above the Barren Wilderness is the Thunder Immortal Domain..."

Lin Chen’s words immediately caught Li Yongzhi’s attention. He narrated the differences between the Human World, the Barren Wilderness and the Immortal Realm, then began talking about his life, finally talking about his engagement to Chu Jiaxue, then about Gu Yuexi, from the Human World to Barren Wilderness, to the Human Emperor, to Ascension, joining the White Crane Immortal Sect, becoming their Ancestral Master.

"That’s how it is, although I’m young, just in my thirties, I have become their Ancestral Master..."

There was a touch of regret on Li Yongzhi’s face: "You and your two wives... you’re separated now?"

Lin Chen nodded, "The Immortal Path is long and ruthless. To keep from leaving each other behind, we all have to work together, make progress together, even temporary separations are for spending more time together in the future."

Li Yongzhi was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed, "You are luckier than me..."

Lin Chen blinked, "Senior, what do you mean?"

Li Yongzhi glanced at the black stone coffin, his eyes soft, he gently said, "You and your wives had times when your feelings were unclear, but in the end, you chose to bravely face them, express your thoughts, not fearing the gaze of others and bravely coming together, achieving your current happiness."

"I was different from you. If she and I had been braver back then, if we could have explained things clearer, perhaps she and I would not have separated, and no tragedy would have happened."

Lin Chen straightforwardly said: "If predecessor Li doesn’t think of me as an outsider, I’m willing to listen to the story of you two, after all, when I saw the stone tablet, the two phrases on it made me think a lot..."

Li Yongzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, you’re different from many others I’ve seen. Maybe as you said, the world you come from is different, which makes you different from others."

"The story between Chen Cuiting and I is actually quite cliché and melo-dramatic. We both met when we were very young and liked each other. However, our families were not a match, which made it difficult for us to be together at that time."

"Back then, I was belittled by her family, was told that I was not worthy of her. Out of indignation, I left immediately. Originally, I was planning to return after achieving some success. So I left without saying a word."

"I chose to join a Great Sect, hoping to make a name for myself in the sect, thereby gaining the qualifications to be with her. My idea wasn’t wrong, my direction of struggle wasn’t wrong either. However, I made a mistake by leaving at the wrong time and by not discussing everything openly with her before leaving."

"I stood out in the sect and had a promising future. I returned to my hometown in full glory, only to find out that she had run away from home not long after I left to look for me."

"The world is so big, I didn’t mention where I would go when I left. How could she find me? We lost contact."

"Heartbroken, after many years, I accepted my master’s arrangement and ended up with the daughter of an elder in the sect. We became a Daoist couple. But not long after we got together, I met her again at a sect gathering."

"It turned out that she had also joined the Immortal Gate and our two sects were not too far apart. She knew I had become a cultivator and hoped to find me in the future on the path of cultivation. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding led to terrible consequences."

"She saw me, realized I was already married, and responded very calmly. She casually congratulated me, then flippantly left. At that time, I had many words left unspoken. I thought she had let go of me, didn’t like me, didn’t care about me, I could only keep all the gloominess in my heart."

"Not long after returning to the sect, she also had a Daoist partner arranged by the sect. He was a very powerful, older genius in the sect. Afterward, she and I each had children, gradually becoming two lines that would never intersect again."

"My wife came from a prestigious family, she was quite domineering. Many conflicts erupted over the long years, culminating in a fierce battle. We both suffered losses and finally chose to separate."

"Coincidentally, Chen Cueting’s life wasn’t going so well either. Her husband, originally a Heaven’s Chosen with a bright future, had a heart demon burst during cultivation and fell into demonic possession. He became irritable and often did nonsensical things. He was violent towards Chen Cuiting, frequently beating her until she was covered in injuries."

"I accidentally found out about this and decided to kill her husband. Regardless of whether or not Chen Cuiting ever loved me, I had to take responsibility for my past mistakes..."
