Chapter 156: Despicable Heart in the Past

"Okay, I've answered so many of your questions, now it's your turn to answer mine." Xu Xing said.

"You ask."

"Have you...really returned to your hometown?"

"I don't know." Yuan answered very straightforwardly, "When I left this soul behind, I did have a way to leave Taixuan Realm, but I don't know whether it was successful or not."

"Qingxu?"

"Yes." Yuan nodded. "Speaking of which, it was thanks to Senior Yuanjun that he asked Wanzhu and I to go to Qingxu to look for the Molin Flower. Otherwise, I would not have discovered the weak spot on the border of Taixuan Realm."

Wanzhu is the disciple of Lingzu who has spent thousands of years with him.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"But that trip to Qingxu was not an easy one. I don't know what Senior Yuanjun did with the Molin flowers we brought back."

I didn't have time to ask, and Senior Yuanjun just left.

Xu Xing: “…”

Forget it, let’s not tell him what Yuanjun did with the Mo Lin flower.

"Okay, keep asking."

Yuan paused, and then said in an ambiguous tone: "What about you... don't you want to go home?"

In fact, this is what he cares most about.

"I can leave Taixuan Realm. If you want to go back, it must be easier for you than for me."

Then he asked tentatively, "Or are you the kind of person..."

Xu Xing understood what he wanted to ask: "Before I came into this world, my parents were alive and well, and my relatives and friends were all in good health."

Before traveling through time, most time travelers are orphans with bad luck, but he is not.

"Could it be that you are?"

"Of course I'm not!" Yuan quickly denied, "You haven't answered me yet, don't you want to go home?"

Xu Xing still did not answer, but asked: "Do you want to know what happened to the Cang Clan and the Human Clan in the ancient times of Taixuan Realm?"

Yuan was stunned when he heard this. Could this be related to whether he would go home or not?
"You said."

Then, Xu Xing said in a calm and gentle tone: "The Cang Clan is a race favored by God and was the overlord of the Taixuan Realm in ancient times."

Yuan nodded slightly, he knew all this.

"All living things raise cattle and sheep for them, and we humans are no exception. In fact, we humans are ranked quite high on their menu."

"..." Yuan remained silent.

"Although there were many rebels among the human race at that time, they were so weak that even the rebellion became a drama before their meal."

"Countless predecessors have fought one after another to find a way to change the fate of the human race, but all have achieved little success."

"Until one day, a famous 'gourmet' among the Cang people discovered that after soaking and marinating the human race with Yang Jing Dan Xi and Su Po Zhen Hua, their meat would become more delicious."

"The vast majority of the human race died in the process, but a small number survived and possessed strength no less than that of a newborn baby of the Cang tribe."

"Because of this change, the surviving humans did not immediately become delicacies on the Cang tribe's table, but were thrown into the hunting grounds for the Cang tribe to hunt for fun."

"After that, this business became more and more popular, and more and more humans were captured for experiments. Humans became a popular item in the Cang tribe's hunting grounds."

“But the Cang Clan doesn’t really care about the weak human race.”

"So by chance, the two lords of the Cang tribe clashed, and the hunting ground was in turmoil. Finally, someone escaped from the hunting ground."

"Those who escaped... are the first group of practitioners of the Taixuan Realm."

Xu Xing looked at Yuan: "Among them, there is my master who was saved after I came to this world."

The truth is so cruel and magical that the first batch of practitioners of the human race were born from a dish of the Cang tribe. "But the human race at that time was really hard. Every day when I opened my eyes, I had to face the pursuit of the Cang tribe and other races. So even if I was saved by my master, I always wanted to go back."

"After all, one more of me doesn't make much difference, and one less of me doesn't make much difference either. What can I change by myself?"

"But now that I think about it, I was really selfish and despicable at that time."

At that time, most of the human race was kept in captivity by the Cang tribe or some powerful races, and a free human was a hope for every human.

"It's human nature...it's actually understandable." Yuan said.

Xu Xing nodded: "Yes, that's how I comfort myself in my heart."

At that time, the senior sister was still a little girl who liked to squat beside him and listen to stories, often muttering while holding the sword at night, and acting very cold to others.

But she was never afraid, and never thought of escaping.

The master took the two of them with him, avoiding the pursuit of the Cang Clan and other races, while traveling around the Central Continent to create a practice method.

It was at that time that he got to know these fellow Taoists, as well as some who have passed away.

They all have their own little flaws, but they all show the courage to face life and death head on.

Although Xu Xing seemed to be at ease when getting along with them at that time, he knew very well in his heart that he was just a despicable clown hiding among them.

"But selfishness is selfishness. Even if you use various excuses to disguise it, its essence is still despicable."

Yuan shook his head slightly: "But you finally had the ability to leave, but you didn't leave, right? There is a saying that a gentleman is judged by deeds rather than the heart, and if you judge by the heart, no one in the world is perfect."

No matter what he thought at the beginning or what the process was, the fellow villager eventually stayed.

This alone is admirable.

"..." Xu Xing was silent for a few seconds, "You really aren't studying Chinese? Or were you demoted?"

Yuan almost couldn't hold it in: "Really not!"

This is nothing to do with anything.

"I just like to read some miscellaneous books."

Xu Xing nodded.

These sentences disrupted the rhythm, but also made the somewhat heavy atmosphere a lot more relaxed.

Yuan even suspected that his fellow villager said this on purpose.

“That’s all I have to ask.”

Yuan was ready to end the conversation and disperse this wisp of soul.

"My friend, I don't know what you will choose in the future, but Qingxu has some things I left behind and some derived world coordinates. You can go and get them when you have time."

"Wanzhu knows the exact location. You can go to Lingyinfang."

"My friend, since you are so awesome, it should be no problem for you to meet her."

"Finally, please tell her..."

"sorry."

If we talk about who he feels most sorry for in the Taixuan Realm, it would probably be Wan Zhu.

Wanzhu has been following him since the Dragon Elephant Qingtian Sect. Without her help, he would probably have a harder time in the Taixuan Realm.

Hey~
"But I think it's better for you to talk to her yourself." Xu Xing said.

"I am just a wisp of soul that is about to dissipate. I can't hold on..."

He suddenly froze in the middle of his words, obviously realizing something.
