Chapter 134 Men, they're all hypocrites.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and Shang Xingjian finally withdrew his gaze and stood up.

"General, please go and rest," Shang Xingjian said.

General Meng An showed no sign of leaving. He lowered his eyes and seemed to ponder for a while before finally deciding to ask, "Does the Divine Lord know the cause and effect between my wife and that Divine Lord?"

Shang Xingjian raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that he would ask such a question.

“I thought you would never ask this question in your life.” Shang Xingjian casually took out a pot of wine and poured it for General Meng An himself. “However, it would be better for General Meng An to treat some questions as a mystery and never know the answer.”

Shang Xingjian clinked glasses with General Meng An, saying, "Cheng Yueran and he only had a karmic entanglement in this lifetime. Once this karmic entanglement is repaid, they can be considered even."

What a tragic fate!

The merchant paused briefly, seemingly surprised by his insistence.

"Cheng Yueran was originally a koi carp from the South China Sea. She was transformed into a human due to Qingfan's opportunity. Later, she followed Qingfan to cultivate and developed mortal desires. She was then banished to the mortal realm by Qingfan. Later, due to the Heavenly Court's unwarranted interference, Cheng Yueran's fate was altered, and she was destined to die a tragic death in three lifetimes. Qingfan felt guilty towards Cheng Yueran for this matter and secretly helped her several times, but ultimately he could not change her fate. A tragic death was still her destiny."

General Meng An lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"In this life, she has repaid the karmic debt between herself and Qingfan. In the next life, this fate of not having a good end will be broken." As for who Cheng Yueran likes, no one can say for sure.

The appearance of Cheng Mai was like an opportunity, thus binding Cheng Yueran and General Meng An together.

Perhaps, what Cheng Yueran loves most is her only daughter, whom she has never had in all her lifetimes, rather than any other man.

This truth was certainly not good news for General Monan.

“So sometimes, the truth doesn’t matter.” Shang Xingjian raised his hand to dispel the dark clouds, letting the moonlight shine through. “Does the general regret hearing this story?”

"The celestial official who cast this curse on her must be a fairy," General Meng An said coldly.

"General Meng An, there's no need to be angry. When the heavens and earth collapsed, the entire Upper Heavenly Court was reduced to nothingness." Shang Xingjian didn't know much about that past event, but he occasionally used it to tease Qing Fan.

It was mainly Jupiter making jokes; he was just playing along.

But who could have imagined that some things are just predestined? Everyone knows that someone wanting to be her father might be karma for the joke she made back then.
"Does General Meng An have any further questions?" Shang Xingjian kindly asked in return.

Meng An drank the wine, his face blank and unresponsive.

Merchant Jian wasn't in a hurry and continued to look up at the moon.

When Cheng Mai arrived, the place was eerily quiet. She went over and kicked Shang Xingjian without any hesitation, asking, "What did you do?"

"What can I do? I'm just a good person." Shang Xingjian pulled her hand and made her sit down next to him. "This wine is better than Dragon King's Drunkenness. You should try it."

"Good wine that you've kept until now?" Cheng Mai didn't believe his nonsense. After all, most of Shang Xingjian's words were unreliable.

"My Lord, my dear, I must return." General Meng An slowly rose, and a hint of melancholy lingered as he turned to leave.

Cheng Mai: "What did you do?"

Shang Xingjian dodged ahead of her before she could make a move, saying, "I told you a story that you didn't want to hear but insisted on hearing. Men, you know, they're all hypocrites."
