538 Tough, Tough, Tough! (2/2)

Let him continue being the lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect? That would seem inappropriate. Abdicate the position of Sect Leader to him? That would be even more absurd...

Moreover, the key to the problem here was Wang Wu.

Wang Lu had no idea how to face his respected Master.

After seeing that dark history, it could be said that there were all kinds of emotions mixed in Wang Lu's heart. There was the admiration, compassion, and all kinds of thoughts… The awakening of his past life's consciousness only made him know more things, and not inherit Ouyang Shang's memory. Thus, the kiss at the time of separation, as well as the general promise of eternal love… was really a burden.

This was not just for himself, perhaps it was also the same for Wang Wu.

For her, the memories of more than a hundred years ago might have already faded. As for the promise, presumably, she would only hide it at the bottom of her heart.

Because people always want to look ahead. People who are obsessed with things in the past do not have the qualification to move on. At the same time, after so many years, Wang Wu's 'live happily' character had long been ingrained in her psyche, so it was impossible to recover her original character in her youth.

This was a very simple truth. Ouyang Shang told her his last words more than a hundred years ago. How old was Wang Wu at that time? How old was she now? She spent most of her life living happily. The stubborn and reserved characters in her personality perhaps had already long vanished with the wind.

Then, for a living-happily Wang Wu, if confronted with her former sweetheart, what would be the result?

”Junior Sister, I'm late…”

”Not late, it's not late at all! Let's have a wedding and go to bed, and then share the property, hahaha!”

To be honest, such a scenario was not completely unimaginable.

At the same time, it was not difficult to infer the afterward developments.

”Breaking news, big scandal! Big scandal comes out from Spirit Sword Sect, one of the Five Uniques of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals! The Fifth Elder of Heavenly Sword Hall Wang Wu and the sect's lead disciple Wang Lu disregards ethics and shamelessly have illicit sexual relations! When questioned, unexpectedly, they go by the past lover excuse! For details of the situation, please see this newsletter! One spirit stone a piece! One spirit stone a piece!”

”The following is the report from our reporter at the scene… Hello everyone! I am Xiao Mei, a reporter from Nine Regions News Service stationed in Blue River Region! I recently interviewed an insider from Spirit Sword Sect about the sex scandal between the Master and disciple in Spirit Sword Sect. According to the third Elder of Heavenly Sword Hall, who did not want to be named, within the sect, Wang Wu has always been undisciplined and out of control, and there had been bad precedents prior, so it's not surprising that this scandal is caused by her. The sect has long ago been dissatisfied with her. It is said that the Heavenly Sword Hall has held many leadership meetings, and several Elders have proposed a severe punishment and received support from the sect…”

”Fifth Junior Sister, right now, the public opinion is boiling outside. I think you know it too, regarding the matter between you and Big Brother… No, Wang Lu, there are many people in the sect that actually support it. But, after all, the pressure from the public opinion is too great, so you see…”

”Sect Leader Senior Brother, other matters are actually acceptable for me, but the problem is that I'm already pregnant.”

”What? When?”

”When you hold the leadership meeting in the evening, I found out the crisis, therefore, I went to work hard with Wang Lu, staying up the whole night. In the end, we finally got the harvest… You guys won't let the child in my stomach have no father when born, right?”

”Hey, this trick of yours is too cheap!”

”Well, the most important thing is to be happy…”

”Get lost!”

—

The above was Wang Lu's idea. Thinking of such a life, Wang Lu was disheartened and could not raise his interest to return to the sect.

”Alas, had I known this before, I wouldn't have gone to the Demon World, it's just giving me a headache…”

Wang Lu was lying on his back inside the carriage, bored to death. Of course, objectively speaking, although there were numerous problems in his trip to the Demon World, when crossing through the dream world, he had actually made especially huge profits. His current entanglement was more or less something that had the flavor of 'being a pretentious show off'. The ball was still inside his Jade Mansion. He had yet to open it to digest the inheritance of the fallen immortal. Solely the things left behind by Ouyang Shang themselves were already quite rich.

Of which, the simplest one was: after learning about his own life, many long-puzzling questions had been answered. Such as… where did this wandering mind that was filled with wonderful ideas since birth come from?

That included the concept of professional adventure, the bourgeoisie, and the proletariat… Since birth, these thoughts had been flashing through his mind. Occasionally, he would dream many wonderful things, hundreds of feet of metals and glass building, huge metal machinery and puppet… they were wonders that never existed in any corner of Nine Regions, yet constantly lingered in his mind.

At that time, by chance, he heard that there were those born with similar circumstances as him, but none of those people had world-shaking exploits. Plus, having the gift of Void Spirit Root made him different since childhood, therefore, he had a firm ambition to cultivate...

Now, when he thought about it, he was exactly a transmigration person… Of course, this transmigration was more complicated than that of a common one.

At the same time, it was no wonder why he subconsciously chose Spirit Sword Sect. Although being close with home was the most important factor, with his self-confidence at the time, as a matter of fact, the number one sect in the world, Shengjing Sect, was actually the better choice.

These problems might seem trivial, but for cultivators, this was an important part of self-awareness. In the future, when he reached Yuanying Stage or Deity Stage, if these problems had not yet been solved, he would unavoidably meet obstacles or even demon heart. But now that everything was clear, he had cleared up some obstacles on the path of immortal cultivation.

Secondly, the awakening of his past life's consciousness had caused Wang Lu to feel that a beacon of light had lit up in his heart… Simply put, his life now had some clear purposes.

Before this, his life and cultivation were somewhat muddled. Although he had done a lot of things since he joined Spirit Sword Sect, most of them were due to the situation. In short, if there was a problem, he went to solve it, if not, he would just stay on the mountain to cultivate in peace. He didn't have that strong of an initiative.

But now was different.

”Ah, the fallen immortal… That's such a big problem.”Blue in Chinese is 蓝, which sounds like 难, which means tough, difficult, hard... so what Wang Lu really wanted to express in ”the sky is really blue” is something like ”fuck my life”, ”my life is so hard”, in an obscure way.Grass mud horse is a play on the Chinese words cào nǐ mā (肏你妈), literally, ”fuck your mother”. So ten thousand grass mud horses ran wildly in his heart means Wang Lu inwardly said all kinds of expletives.

has the same double meaning as in the previous chapter. In the previous chapter, it was Wang Wu who said it, now it is Wang Lu.
