Chapter 339: The Smoker's 3 Questions

Chapter 339: Three Questions from the Smoker
Leaving the prison, retrieving the jade pendant, bidding farewell to Ning Wushu and Zhao Hao, Fu Qingzhou waited for Li Xiaoyue... When he came here, it was this little sister who pushed him all the way here, and when he went back, it was naturally Li Xiaoyue who pushed him back.

There is no other reason, it’s just because Li Xiaoyue has more free time.

This job was originally done by Tang Jiao, but she had reached the critical moment of reforging the spirit sword in the past two days, and she plunged into Feng Ren's forging room. Her face was darkened by the smoke every day. Naturally, Fu Qingzhou didn't want to bother her with such trivial matters as pushing the wheelchair.

So, naturally, Li Xiaoyue took over.

"Xiaoyue, are you doing well these days?"

Fu Qingzhou asked softly.

The smoker was shouting nonsense in his mind, wanting to know what he had talked about with Mannar, but he ignored him and just chatted casually with Li Xiaoyue.

Hearing his question, Li Xiaoyue timidly responded: "Brother Qing, I have been eating well, drinking well, and sleeping well these days, but I miss my second brother a little bit."

Fu Qingzhou smiled gently: "It's okay, Xiaoyue, Brother Qing will definitely find your second brother back."

"Brother Qing, you said..."

Li Xiaoyue's voice was trembling: "Could the second brother be dead?"

Fu Qingzhou's eyelids moved slightly.

After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Are you scared?"

"I was scared." Li Xiaoyue bit her lip. "I was very young when my eldest brother disappeared. I couldn't see him at that time, and I cried every day. My second brother comforted me and said that he would definitely find my eldest brother. Until a year later, he found my eldest brother's body..."

"I'm so scared. I'm so scared that when I see my second brother, he will also..."

Fu Qingzhou felt distressed when he heard this, but he just smiled slightly: "Xiaoyue, don't be afraid. As long as Li Qing is still alive, I will make sure he comes back alive and kicking and reunites with you and your siblings. If he is really killed, I will find all the murderers who killed him and avenge him."

Li Xiaoyue hummed lightly at first, then couldn't help but whispered: "But, I don't want revenge, I want my second brother..."

Fu Qingzhou sighed softly, not knowing how to comfort or how to make a promise.

Can you promise to bring Li Qing back?

But he also didn't know where Li Qing had gone or how he was doing now... All of this could only be discovered by going to Beijing to find Yuan Zhen and asking him to help with the investigation.

Although Li Xiaoyue is young, she is already in her teens. Naturally, she cannot deceive others with lies, even if they are white lies.

No matter how smart or powerful you are, there are always things in this world that you can't do anything about...

There was no conversation along the way. After Li Xiaoyue pushed Fu Qingzhou back to the Wulin Alliance headquarters and helped him lie back on the bed, she said she was going to look for Tang Jiao and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After all, she was still a child and didn't know how to get along with a "paralyzed" man. In comparison, she had become much closer and more familiar with Tang Jiao in these days.

Fu Qingzhou was still lying on the bed. In his mind, the smoker's shouting had become much weaker.

"You must be tired of shouting, old man."

He then responded: "Calm down now?"

"I'm very calm." The smoker snorted, "Can't you just tell me what you talked about with Mannar?"

"He told me nothing."

Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Do you think I can believe it?" The smoker sneered, "Can you please be more skillful in lying?"

"What you're saying..." Fu Qingzhou also sneered, "You woke up just in time. I called you so many times before but you didn't wake up. Now there's a formation that you happen to be able to break, and you woke up. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Ahem." The smoker coughed dryly, "Isn't it good for me to help you?"

"You obviously don't want me to know those things, so why would you help me?" Fu Qingzhou sneered, "You probably knew I couldn't get anything out of you, right? Why don't you just let me give up? So that I don't have to nag you every day?"

"This, this..." The smoker laughed and said, "What are you talking about? How come I don't know."

Fu Qingzhou was too lazy to watch it pretending to be stupid, so he simply repeated his speculations and ideas again, which naturally included his two previous speculations about the identity of the smoker.

"You probably guessed that Ning Wushu wouldn't let me know, right?"

Then he asked calmly, "In fact, you were not completely asleep when you were in Sangmen Village, right? You saw a lot of things."

After hearing this, the smoker fell silent.

"What, you stopped talking?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled falsely and said, "Okay, I won't ask about my identity now, I'll ask about yours, and you won't tell me either?" "Why should I tell you my identity?" The smoker said with a tut-tut, "Your speculation is totally unreasonable and you are just being clever. I don't even have the interest to comment on it."

"Is it?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled: "What about my identity? Do you have anything to say?"

"Humph……"

After thinking for a moment, the Smoker said calmly, "That day in Sangmen Village, I was in a hurry to save you, and I knew you would see something. I can't hide it. With your character, if I don't ask you clearly, I won't have peace of mind. In this case, I will talk to you."

"But before I answer your question, I have three questions for you."

Fu Qingzhou said "Oh?" and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"The first question is, do you really think that your mysterious identity and origin are very important?" The Smoker asked word by word.

Fu Qingzhou pondered for a moment and was about to answer when the smoker spoke again: "Don't worry, wait until I finish asking the next two questions, and then you can answer them together."

"The second question is, what do you want to get from this world? To be a hero for the rest of your life? Or to be successful, famous, powerful and wealthy? Or maybe one day you want to retire and live a life of leisure?"

This question made Fu Qingzhou stunned.

He could understand the first question, but he had no idea why the smoker would ask the second question?
Then, the Smoker asked again, "The third question, if I tell you that there is an extremely terrifying monster in this world, it is countless times stronger than any cultivator in this world, even a cultivator in the selfless realm is just an ant in front of it, and a hair on its body can make the Xuanxing strongman exhausted..."

"If you ignore it, it won't care about you either. Maybe it won't hurt anyone for thousands or tens of thousands of years. But as long as it's in a bad mood or gets a little angry, it can turn the world upside down and destroy billions of lives... And this day will always come, but you don't know whether it will be tomorrow or tens of millions of years later. So, will you think about trying to kill it?"

The third question was even more confusing, and Fu Qingzhou was completely bewildered.

But as smart as he was, he naturally realized quickly that this "monster", whether it was an image or a real thing... was related to his own identity and origin.

"okay."

The smoker said calmly, "You answer."

Fu Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "First question, if there weren't a group of people staring at me and wanting to attack me, I would just be curious about my identity and background, and I wouldn't be interested in digging deeper."

"If there is a way to make them give up chasing me like a treasure, I don't care at all. For me, the present me is the most important."

"The second question is, what do I want? I want to feel happy and relieved. I like to help others, but the world is too chaotic, there are too many things that no one cares about, and there are too many poor people. I know I can't take care of everything in the world, but as long as I encounter injustice, I want to intervene."

"I helped them, they were happy, and I was happy too, and that's what I wanted."

"The third question...I don't know how to answer it."

He said frankly: "If there really is such a monster, its sneezing would be the most terrifying thing in the world. This is definitely not just my business, and I can't ignore countless people in the world because of my own thoughts."

"Hmm..." There was no emotion in the smoker's voice: "Don't worry about it for now. Just assume that you are the strongest person in the world and only you can fight this monster. Do you want to try it?"

Fu Qingzhou fell into deep thought.

After a while, he laughed.

"Give it a try."

He said, "If I don't try today, someone else will try tomorrow. Sooner or later, the monster will cause trouble. Instead of that, let me do it."

After a moment's silence, the Smoker laughed.

"Hehehe, it's true."

It said leisurely: "In this case, I only have one piece of advice for you."

"Practice well, be yourself, and you will know what you want to know one day, but not now."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Are you kidding me again?"

"It's not a joke."

The Smoker was serious for once: "You can't even suppress Qi Ran Jue right now, so you can't handle anything more terrible. I suggest you solve the problem of Qi Ran Jue before entering the Cave Heaven Realm. Then, it won't be too late to investigate these things."

Fu Qingzhou closed his eyes and didn't ask any more questions.

It is right. Let's just leave the issue of my identity here for now. If someone comes to cause trouble for me, I will just fight them off.

But old thing...if you are the evil ghost who likes to take people's lives, why would you tell me these?
Who are you... anyway?
