Xu Yourong said, ”If he doesn't come, the capital will inevitably fall into chaos and the Human race will enter a civil war that will be very hard to pacify.”
Chen Changsheng said, ”Taking wood out from the fire is his greatest skill.”
”Authority over the Human race has long since ceased to have any meaning to him. What he cares about is the overarching situation.”
Xu Yourong asked, ”Why is it that in the Mount Song Army headquarters, in Wenshui, in South Stream Temple, and in White Emperor City, he has always retreated in the face of the Li Palace's attacks, finally becoming a man living in isolation? It isn't because of any kindness he holds toward you or some tender affection for all beings beneath the heavens. It is because he has a view on the overarching situation.”
Chen Changsheng asked, ”You are speaking of the northern expedition?”
Xu Yourong replied, ”Yes, the only goal and significance in his life now is exterminating the demons. For this undertaking, he can sacrifice everything.”
Chen Changsheng said, ”But this does not include himself.”
Xu Yourong agreed, ”Yes, because he wants to personally see it, or perhaps it's better to say that he wants to watch on the day the great army of humanity enters Xuelao City in Emperor Taizong's place.”
If a normal person were to hear this conversation, they would probably very simply regard Shang Xingzhou as a Saint while Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng would naturally fall into the role of villains.
But this story had never had heroes and villains. Only in the relationship between Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng was there a right and wrong.
”But that day is also one that we are willing to see.”
Chen Changsheng reminded Xu Yourong, ”Can we really completely ignore the overarching situation?”
Xu Yourong asked, ”Why can't we?”
Chen Changsheng could not understand, thinking to himself, but you aren't this sort of person.
Xu Yourong gave a charming smile. ”For this matter, just treat me like a willful little girl.”
Chen Changsheng found her very beautiful, at her most beautiful since the Garden of Zhou.
But he still continued to say, ”Master will still not believe that you will really let the capital fall into chaos.”
Xu Yourong arched her brows. ”Why?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”Because he knows that I will stop you. I cannot possibly watch as the capital falls into chaos, the masses are deprived of their homes, casualties mount, and blood flows like rivers.”
The restaurant had become rather quiet. The beef ribs in the pot had been stewed rotten. The gurgling sounded like the whining of a cat.
Xu Yourong faintly smiled. ”The problem is, can you really stop me?”
After saying this, she stood up.
Several dozen South Stream Temple disciples, dressed in their white robes, walked into the restaurant.
Xu Yourong spread out her arms.
Two of the girls used hot towels to carefully wipe her hands.
Xu Yourong looked at Chen Changsheng and said, ”When I decide to do something, no one can stop me.”
Chen Changsheng asked, ”Even if you're doing this for my sake?”
Xu Yourong replied, ”You are only half the reason.”
Chen Changsheng said, ”The other half is the Divine Empress?”
Xu Yourong calmly replied, ”Correct, but you cannot stop me, and not even the Empress revived could stop me from doing this.”
After saying this, she walked out of the restaurant.
The old willows on the street were giving birth to new buds, enjoying the beauty of life in the warm weather.
Xu Yourong looked up to a certain part of the sky and recalled a matter Mo Yu had informed her about.
When Chen Changsheng brought his marriage contract into the capital and all the important figures who knew of this matter were concerned, the Tianhai Divine Empress had made a comment.
”If she wants to marry someone, she'll marry someone, and if she doesn't want to marry, she won't marry.”
