AST 1861 - Who should I trust, a lost woman (2/2)

Qing Shui had a feeling that this man might have cultivated his Taichi Techniques up to the Shackles Realm. That was a kind of condition similar to the Laws of Heavenly Dao. He has researched it to the point where an ordinary person couldn’t think of.

“What’s wrong?” Sheng Jun asked confused.

“Erm, I just have a feeling that your father might be very powerful.” Qing Shui smiled and said in a casual tone. If he was saying that there was nothing, it would look too obvious. If he tried to explain it, she wouldn’t likely to understand. Hence, he came up with an excuse which he thought might convince her.

“Is that so? Then why hasn’t he ever beat you before? Could it be that you are just trying to emphasize that you are very strong? Well, that also seems to be the case.” Sheng Jun smiled and said.

“Your father might not have gone all out.”

Sheng Jun let out a sigh and continued saying in a helpless tone, “So what if that’s the case? He has already come today to take me back home. In the past, I used to be the person whom he spoiled the most.”

Talking up to this point, Sheng Jun seemed a bit disappointed. She looked like she has lost one of her most precious things in life. Everyone took family love very seriously. Once their family love was called into question, it would be a very painful thing for that person.

Qing Shui understood what she meant. He didn’t dare to imagine about this kind of situation. He then said gently, “Each and every one of us must experience growing up. There will come a day when we will have to leave our parents and start a family of our own. In the future, our children will also leave us. It is already a great thing if they could bother to pay us a visit occasionally. The only person who could truly keep you company until the day you die is none other than your other half beside you. Other than that, the people that you meet can only be considered as passers-by. Some will stay in your life for a long time, whereas some will only be there for a short period of time.”

Though putting it this way might sound very ruthless, but this was how it was. Whether it was in his previous incarnation or the current world. Certainly, there were also many people who would live in a huge house. But what was put on emphasis here was the heart. Often, a married couple was the two people who would be the closest with each other spiritually. Once children grew up, there would come a time when they would be mature and no longer relied on their parents like how they used to before.

Sheng Jun was stunned with Qing Shui’s words. She seemed to be pondering over what he said. In the past, she seemed to have never taken such matter into considerations. Usually, when a person never thought of starting a family, it would be very difficult for him to think about matters like this.

A lonely person was like a duckweed. When a person suddenly felt like a duckweed, that person had truly lost any sort of support he could rely on. Loneliness affected by environment was nothing. What could truly affect someone was loneliness which came from deep within the heart. If there was something which a person wished to share, but he couldn’t find anyone to share it with. It would mean that he was lonely deep inside his heart.

“It seems that I am truly a pathetic person. To think that there is no one whom I can truly put my trust in.” Sheng Jun lifted up her head and smiled at Qing Shui. Qing Shui could tell that her smile seemed a bit bitter.

Qing Shui knew that she must get past this obstacle. Once she got past it, her entire life would change. Furthermore, she would also improve in her cultivations and at the same time broaden her horizons. This was a kind of obstacles which one would face in life. Some people were required to confront it, whereas some could just leave it be.

“This is a kind of asset. Be brave and confront it. Once you successfully get past it, the benefits which you get in return will be really huge. Besides, you can also try to have some faith in other people. For example me, don’t you believe in me?” Qing Shui asked sincerely.

“No, I don’t. Even my father treated me like this, who else can I trust?” Sheng Jun smiled and said. For now, she seemed to have recovered her calmness.

“You got a point there. You mustn’t trust anyone completely. You must still leave some space for yourself deep within your heart. If anything unexpected happens, at least you won’t crumble from it.”

“Suddenly, I am starting to wonder what’s the purpose of living. At least for now, I don’t know what purpose it serves…… In the past, I used to hope that my clan will prosper in strength and my father and mother can live happily ever after……”
