The little palace lord bit her lip hard, raised her toes, and kicked Chu Ge's calf under the table.

"ah?"

Chu Ge raised his head, looked at the little palace master suspiciously, and kept chewing, "Why kick me, do you still want to eat?"

"……never mind."

The little palace master was discouraged all of a sudden, and said speechlessly, "Don't talk about me, let's talk about your recovery progress, why, is your perception recovering quickly now, and you can monitor the ripples of aura within a few miles away ?”

"No."

Chu Ge shook his head, "Even in my prime, I've never been so powerful, how is it possible!"

"Then you were scaring other elementary school students just now."

The little palace master said, "You can't be lying to them, are you?"

"How can it be called a lie? It's just a white lie to encourage them to do more radio exercises and eye exercises."

Chu Ge said solemnly, "Even if they don't understand now, they will definitely thank me in the future."

The little palace lord stared at Chu Ge for a long time, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Sometimes, I really don't understand what is going on in your mind. You don't want to live in the luxury apartment that the authorities reward you, but you want to come back to live in this kind of place .

"Also, our business has been gradually getting on track recently. There are so many places that need your help, but you show up less and less often—would you rather lie here to deceive elementary school students than attend those real events?" high-end occasions?

"You should know that the current authorities are supportive of the business between you and our cultivators. They even want to launch a model, which will have the effect of 'the city gate stands tall and the golden horse bones', beheading Yan Luo, helping Zhao Lian capture Zhao Jinhu proves your loyalty and ability. The authorities do not object to your participation in a company with a large number of cultivators—this can be regarded as a reward for you from the authorities. There will never be any problems. You Why do you have to keep yourself so low-key?"

Chu Ge finished all the wontons in two or three bites, and even drank up the sesame sauce seasoning. Then he wiped his mouth contentedly, hiccupped, and said, "You may not believe it if you say it——I like it, and I don't like it. I need to keep a low profile, I feel that I am in too much limelight now, as the saying goes, 'there are a lot of popular people', I want to cool down a little bit, and be alone, it will be more helpful for recovery."

"..."

Little Palace Master said,

"I really don't believe it."

"If I were a year ago, I wouldn't believe that I would be such a person."

Chu Ge's face was full of confusion, and he couldn't sort out the turmoil in his heart. He didn't know how to explain it, but he just said clumsily, "At that time, I was about to graduate, and I just came into contact with "Earth Warriors". , How do I work hard, live a life of making money every day, enjoying beautiful cars, sitting in a mansion, entering and leaving high society, and chatting and laughing with peerless powerhouses.

"But now, this kind of life has really come to me, and I have a very vague sense of unreality, and a faint... dull feeling. I always feel that those lively ribbon-cutting ceremonies, full of guests Banquets and songs, talk shows with stars, and luxury apartments and villas are not what I really want. In other words, they are like big fish and meat that are too greasy. I want to die when I haven’t eaten them. I felt pretty good once or twice, but eating every day, every meal, I really want to vomit."

"oh?"

The little palace master said, "Then what do you really want?"

"I don't know either……"

On Chu Ge's face, there was a mix of confusion and excitement, and he murmured, "Do you know, I have been dreaming for the past half month, and I often dream of Colonel Ning Lie, Ms. Gloria, 'crazy' Ning Xiaofeng, Flame Sword, Black Lightning and Yan Luo.

"In vivid dreams, I seem to have returned to the time when I was fighting against them, especially the second of life and death. My brain cells are like very advanced cameras and copiers. The clock was completely copied and played repeatedly in the mind.

"At that second, I could clearly see the mysterious bullets fired by 'Colonel' Ning Lie; I could see Ms. Gloria's venomous and gloomy eyes; I could hear 'Madman' Ning Xiaofeng's wild laughter And the anger of the flame sword; I can smell the hatred on Black Lightning, and the lingering smell of blood from the world of cultivating immortals on He Yanluo.

"It's very strange. When I meet these violent people, crazy people, murderous people and demons in the real world, I am almost always pressed and beaten by them. Every time, I repeatedly rub against the edge of life and death. Every time I'm scared to death, I swear to God that if I can escape this time, I will live my life honestly after I go back, and I will never die again.

"But in vivid dreams—even though I don't know it's a dream, and I take these scenes as another, more real reality, I don't have the slightest fear and regret, all my fear and regret are transformed into strong Excitement, as if only at that second, when I passed the bullet of 'Colonel' Ning Lie, Ms. Gloria's eyes, the chain saw of the black lightning and the flames of Yan Luo, I was truly...alive .

"Every time I wake up from a nightmare like this, I'm sweating profusely, my muscles are sore, as if I'm really fighting in a dream.

"However, the transgression seeping out from every pore, the eruption of sweat like a volcanic eruption, the contraction that spreads from the tailbone along the spine all the way to the celestial cap, brings the refreshment that goes deep into the bone marrow, which cannot be written in words at all. To describe it, it's like a young man tossing and turning in the middle of the night... You understand, but it's a hundred times more refreshing than that!"

"etc--"

The little palace lord frowned, "Whatever is 'I understand', I don't understand!"

"It's fine if you don't understand, I'm just making an analogy."

Chu Ge sighed and said, "I didn't understand why 'Colonel' Ning Lie was so crazy when he was recruited by the authorities, but he still took the risk to plunder strategic materials, and planned to flee to the world of cultivating immortals.

"But now, I realize that I have a little understanding of him. This is the meaning of his existence. Only in the most intense hail of bullets can he really feel that he is still alive!"

The little palace master was silent for a moment, and said: "I understand, but if you hide here, can you find the meaning of your existence?"

"Of course not, but this is where I grew up and where I first set my ambitions."

Chu Ge said, "Back here, it can awaken the... hunger in my body, and let me quietly think about what I want.

"Sorry, maybe it's a bit hypocritical to say that, but now I really find that the reasons that drive me to fight are not to obtain contribution points and cultivation resources, to continuously improve the realm, and to have homeland, compatriots, earth civilization, etc., at least Not only that.

"I want to fight, without any other reason, just because of the fight itself, it's as simple as that.

"So, I can no longer be disturbed by those messy business and publicity, my true heart, you understand what I mean?"

"I probably understand."

The little palace master said, "That is to say, you still like the feeling of being surrounded by female fans, but you didn't fight for the sake of female fans. Even if one day you lose all your female fans, you will still fight without hesitation." Go on fighting?"

"Probably that's what it means."

Chu Ge said, "During the recovery from the injury, I didn't gain nothing, at least I gradually realized my inner self - the beauty of the car, the reputation status, the luxury villa and the admiration of female fans, to me, it's like eating barbecue. All kinds of exquisite side dishes, side dishes are of course very good, as long as they are free, it doesn’t matter how much they come, but in the final analysis, barbecue is the most important thing, even if there are no side dishes, as long as there is barbecue, it is enough. On the other hand, if Without the roast meat, even though the side dishes were big enough to fill me up, the meal was anticlimactic."

"Understood."

The little palace master said, "There is a very interesting phenomenon in the world of cultivating immortals. The suzerain or head of a sect is often not the monk with the highest realm and the strongest fighting power, and the monk with the strongest fighting power often disdains Yu, even very tired of competing for the position of head.

"It seems that if we can form a sect, I am more suitable to be the head of the sect, and you are more suitable to be the number one expert in the sect. ."8)
