The woman in red smiled faintly at Ye Tiancheng, as if she could see through all his thoughts. It was the same feeling. Facing the woman's mockery and laughter, Ye Tiancheng remained indifferent. He had changed so much, experienced so many things, and had long since become unruffled.
At this very moment, Ye Tiancheng would no longer be troubled by such matters, nor by emotions that did not belong to him.
"Who exactly are you? Why have you appeared before me? I'm puzzled why so many troublesome things are happening to me."
He kept asking the woman, but she offered no reply. Any answer would be redundant, any question pointless. Everything has its cause and effect. A woman couldn't just appear out of nowhere and say she liked him. All causes and effects stemmed from his initial choices, all troubles originated from his initial blessings.
"Asking so many questions is useless. Sometimes, certain things can deal you a fatal blow, potentially draining you completely. If you truly want to do that, then you're truly finished. Therefore, I have only one request for you: be mindful of yourself. Don't push yourself too hard to achieve what you cannot. Otherwise, you will be very pathetic and laughable. If a person becomes pathetic and laughable, it signifies that they are destined to be a failure in the future."
This pursuit and its outcome had reached a state that words could not describe. Once a person reached this state, they were naturally a pathetic existence. Ye Tiancheng did not wish to become a pathetic person. What he wanted to achieve was to pursue all these causes and effects with his life. It was possible, but even if he pursued these causes and effects with his life, he might not achieve anything in the end.
After all, many things are not as easily obtained as you imagine.
"What you constantly pursue is constantly perishing. What you truly seek lies within the dark corners of your heart. Whether I say it or not, you will understand. Eventually, you will know if you have truly faced yourself," the woman in red said with a faint smile. Only the old man in red understood where this woman came from. She was a white bone spirit from the Ruoshui River. When Ye Tiancheng left that place, he had inadvertently dropped a Fire God Pill.
This item could restore flesh and bone to dead souls. They quickly repaired their bodies.
Once their bodies were repaired, they naturally became very powerful. Whether you agreed or not, they would appear before you in another form.
Often, the causes and effects are issues worth deep contemplation. Ye Tiancheng pondered this continuously, and as he thought, he became increasingly strange, to the point where his entire being seemed peculiar, so peculiar it made one want to vomit.
There is no hatred without reason, nor love without reason. All worldly causes and effects present themselves to you in their true form. Whether you are willing or not, they will eventually appear before you in this manner. They will tell everyone what you should truly cherish, and that is all.
She would lead you into boundless suffering, and then lead you into boundless hope. This hope would bring you new gains, and also new destruction. As time passed, these things might make you feel that perhaps you could never achieve them in this lifetime, but so what?
As long as you truly understand that some things cannot be pursued simply because you wish to, and some things cannot be obtained simply because you desire them, then you will become very indifferent and detached. You will not feel conflicted about any issue; instead, you will desire them even more.
"Every cause has an effect. Sow good seeds and reap good fruits; sow evil seeds and reap nightmares. Young man, you should cherish this hard-won fate."
The old man in red patted Ye Tiancheng's shoulder, hoping he would remember this good karma. However, for some people, these fated encounters were not karma but nightmares that would cling to them.
Regardless of whether he had experienced these things, what he could ultimately obtain were only those things that thinking could not grasp. Some things appear simple but are actually very complex; some things appear very complex but are actually very simple. These issues...
What you must face comes from the deepest parts of your soul, influencing you to become increasingly reliant on it, just enough to barely maintain your basic existence. Perhaps you feel wronged, but these problems are not really related to you.
Relatively speaking, you should cherish what you have already obtained. If you are unwilling to cherish what you wish to obtain, you will lose even more. Ye Tiancheng had long understood these matters, more than anyone else.
Therefore, no matter how much others said, he would not listen or understand. By the time he wanted to listen, there was no one left to discuss these matters with. At that moment, he felt like a solitary and pathetic figure, with all problems self-inflicted and having nothing to do with anyone else.
"Every person who strives to pursue their dreams will ultimately face a constant threat of death. What kind of nightmare will this threat of death form?"
"I think he should know himself and be able to obtain the dark fruits he possesses. There is no unprovoked love or hatred in this world. So-called love and hate are merely caused by circumstances. It is truly difficult to get used to these things, as everyone pays an immeasurable price when pursuing their dreams. These immeasurable prices sometimes form shackles, constantly damaging your worldview, normally preventing you from pursuing anything you desire. This is reality and its cruelty."
The person who said this was naturally Wang Youcai. The reason he said these words to Ye Tiancheng was his concern that Ye Tiancheng's romantic luck was too good, which might affect his own destiny. Everyone's romantic luck being too good is not a good thing; it could lead to a complete breakdown.
If he were to completely collapse, the problem would be very significant. Therefore, sometimes a person's pursuit is closely related to their dreams, regardless of the method you ultimately choose to pay the price. In the end, you will inexplicably lose too much.
This could cause your dreams and future to fall into an abyss. Regarding such matters, he might appear very indifferent and detached, regardless of whether he would pay more in the future. For him, that price had already become as fleeting as a dream.
"Damn it, I'll remember your words. Stop saying so much bad stuff, making it sound like I'm a scumbag."
In such situations, Fan Xin would constantly laugh at himself because he felt like an idiot, wasting too much time on trivial matters.
He had no brain to think about these things.
If there are too many things that truly bore people, then the real issues laid out before him are too many things that make others feel bored. Things that make you feel extremely disappointed will arrive as scheduled.
"You know why that woman is laughing at you. Otherwise, you'll be laughed to death without even knowing what's happening."
At this moment, he heard that guy continuously telling Ye Tiancheng why the woman in red was smiling at him so radiantly. It was precisely because Ye Tiancheng was like a complete fool, completely failing to grasp that some things were actually not pleasant at all, all due to the many flaws he possessed.
Others could not imagine what he was thinking in his heart, nor could they pursue what he sought. Truly powerful people could not imagine why he was so strange.
Strange people naturally have strange ways of living in this world, while those who are very compliant with others will not survive as expected, mainly because they have too many flaws.
Everyone in front of him seemed like a madman, while only he himself was perfectly normal. Although this idea was a bit bizarre, it had to be said that bizarre people had their bizarre advantages, always doing things in their own perceived way.
When this woman stopped laughing, her expression became very grim, like dark clouds in the sky.
Reality was so cruel that Ye Tiancheng constantly pondered inexplicable questions. The woman in red walked over, patted his head, and then smiled at Ye Tiancheng, saying, "Your look tells me you're a very silly and naive person. Don't overcomplicate things."
Suddenly, the woman said this to him, and he felt a bit bewildered. Only the old man in red understood that this woman's name was Bai Jingjing. She came from the Ruoshui River on the border. Originally a white bone spirit, she became human after obtaining the Fire God Pill.
Ye Tiancheng naturally did not know what it meant for this woman to appear before him. Perhaps her future world would change because of it. But perhaps, perhaps all of this had nothing to do with him. It was all because he was thinking too much and making things too complicated. Often, he thought things were too simple and not complicated enough, but to survive, he had to strive to pursue his dreams.
