Chapter 798: Gain And Loss!
Translator: Rain Editor: Chrissy
Ye Xiao was moved. This moment reminded him of Jun Yinglian. He made a few deep sighs too and spoke with sadness, ”That's true… Everybody wants a life without pain and regret… However, life doesn't go as we want… As long as we are living, we have to move on. There will be lots of pain and troubles. There will be something we don't want happening in our lives. There will be full of regrets. When we turn over and look back to the past, finally, we realize how much we have already missed…
”Even when we finally wake up and realize it, there is no way to get back what we have lost, no matter how regretful we are…
”We have so many reasons and lots of sighs. The most ironic thing is… when we are right in the middle of a beautiful life we long for, we never cherish it, until it fades away… Life is full of choices, gains and losses…
”We kept getting things, but also losing those we had. You get this, so you lose that… When you lose what you had, you are still enjoying the happiness of getting the new. You won't realize that something extraordinarily beautiful in your life has vanished until it is too late.”
”When you finally realize it and want to fix it, you can't, even if you sacrifice your life. At this moment, you find that what you have gotten is merely nothing… compared to what you have lost.”
Ye Xiao looked at the leaves Zhan Yunfei was staring at too. He said, ”Superior cultivators in the martial world, or solitary cultivators, or ordinary people… We are all the same.
”Ordinary people toil so hard to continue living. They are always busy to make a living. When they are young, they get married and fight for money and fame… However, when they finally get what they are chasing, looking back to the people besides them, their wives had become ugly old women… Some already died…
”Only when that moment comes do they realize the wealth, fame and achievements they gain, can never buy them their youth, and their beloved ones. They can't even buy one day with their beloved ones…
”They frown when they are just living the most beautiful lives they can ever have in their lives, because they are worrying about the money, fame and their position in the world…”
”Maybe the leaves are the luckiest creature in the world.” Ye Xiao looked at the leaves, which were shining with golden glow because of the setting sun. He said, ”From a baby tree to a big tree, from light green to dark green, till it become withered and fall to the ground turning into dirt... they barely feel anything. They have no emotions. They face wind, snow and rain… They never feel pain…”
”Ah…”
Ye Xiao made a long sigh to end the talk.
He was still lost in thoughts.
Zhan Yunfei had been listening to him quietly since Ye Xiao started to talk. He was surprised. The more Ye Xiao talked, the more the expression on Zhan Yunfei's face changed.
Approval, sadness, regret, lost, despair…
Ye Xiao's words seemed to reflect Zhan Yunfei's life. Zhan Yunfei was moved, as if he relived his life. At the moment, there was only grief on his face. He might cry out with tears at any second!
