678 Sangsangs Smile (1/2)
Ning Que said, ”Actually, fighting with people... is an interesting thing.”
Looking at him, the Headmaster said, ”Useless!”
Ning Que laughed. In his mind, he was not the Headmaster who was qualified to fight against Heaven. He had been familiar with the joy and anger during the battles for survival.
Traveling in spring, peaceful and happy, they finally got rid of death and separation. When they relaxed, they began to complain: the students complained about their teacher.
”Why had you done nothing all these years? Were things too boring? If you had helped Eldest Brother, he should not have been exhausted and many people would still be alive.”
The Headmaster took up the teacup, smelling the fragrance. Looking at Sangsang, he said, ”I don't care how many people have died. I just don't know how to choose what is the best for the world.”
Ning Que said, ”Since you don't care for people, why do you care for the world?”
His teacher answered, ”If a tael of silver falls in front of you, would you pick it up?”
Ning Que looked at Sangsang and found the same answer in her eyes. He said, ”Of course I would.”
Hearing this, the Headmaster almost sprayed the tea out of his mouth. Facing Ning Que, his designed courses were useless because Ning Que wasn't an ordinary man. He got pissed off and said, ”Say you won't.”
Ning Que could tell he was a little unhappy and said at once, ”It's up to you.”
The Headmaster added, ”If a note of 10 thousand taels of silver falls, I would definitely pick it up.”
Ning Que understood his meaning, but he thought that an attitude of clearly calculating life and interests was really cold. He sighed and said, ”I know I am extremely cold-blooded, but I didn't expect you were the same kind of person as me.”
The Headmaster said, ”I'm not cold-blooded. I just feel numb. Anything, if you have experienced it so many times, it would numb you. I have been alive for such a long time and have lost so many people, so I take life lightly. It is just the end of nature, so sooner or later doesn't make a difference.”
Ning Que said, ”Then why have you hesitated for so long and still decided to fight against Haotian?”
Leaning on the couch, the Headmaster looked at the sky and clouds through the windows and said, ”Because... in the end, I found I didn't like Haotian at all.”
Ning Que thought inwardly, ”In this world, only you are qualified to not like Haotian.”
The Headmaster turned to Ning Que and said, ”Of course, you were one reason that I decided to take action as well.”
Ning Que was touched, even though he still didn't say anything.
How could the Headmaster not see his real feelings? He said discontentedly, ”I am seldom brave like this. Can't you feel touched? Do you have to hold it in?”
Ning Que looked at him and sincerely said, ”Thank you very much.”
Thinking of his words, Ning Que asked, ”Didn't you say you enjoyed fighting against Heaven? Was it your first time to fight back?”
”If you mean real fighting... Yes, it was the first time.”
The Headmaster said, ”You can battle in many ways, and beating him was only one of them. I have been trying every possible way to fight against Haotian for a thousand years. Only you and your Youngest Uncle were always thinking to fight with force. He never ever thought of what would happen if he failed.”
He said it with emotion, sounding sad and regretful.
