A life of clearness

Chapter 410 It’s better to block than to open up
No matter how important one’s feelings, background and status are, they must give way to one’s character.

Just as they are strict in selecting disciples from Donglin Jianmen: they have extremely strict requirements on character.

If Rong Qing was a servile person, Li Changguo's senior brothers and sisters would say they would be the bad guy and slash her peach blossoms with swords.

Even if Rong Qing is a decent person, one still has to worry about whether she has an emotional debt...

"I never use a furnace." Rong Qing closed her eyes, then opened them again: "As for joint cultivation, I have naturally done it with my former lover."

"Ever?" Chang Yue snorted. "How many lovers have you had? Or have you ever done those romantic things that are just fleeting?"

Rong Qing was somewhat displeased with Chang Yue's aggressiveness, but then she changed her mind and thought that if she were in Chang Yue's position, she might not necessarily do better than Chang Yue.

If Rong Qing had a junior sister whom she had raised since childhood, she would naturally help her keep an eye on her lover, for fear that the junior sister who was just beginning to fall in love would be hurt.

"I once loved someone, but he didn't love me, so I let him go." Rong Qing said slowly, "Then I fell in love with another person. She was very good, but unfortunately I couldn't keep her. I could only watch her die in my arms. So this is it. I will never be involved in any kind of love in the world again."

The tone of the female cultivator in white was somewhat calm and somewhat lonely.

"As for casual relationships, I don't like them, and I don't want to do them."

"So you're going to remain a virgin for the sake of your fallen lover?" Chang Yue asked.

"Yes." Rong Qing nodded, as if she was saying something very simple and common.

Chang Yue raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a smile that was unclear whether it was sarcastic or not.

The life span of a cultivator is greatly extended when he reaches the Spiritualization Stage, let alone cultivators at a higher level? With Yu Rong's comprehension, as long as he doesn't die, it will be easy for him to break through the second level of Zhixu.

During such a long period of time, there were so many geniuses in the cultivation world, but was there really no one that made her heart beat?

"Since I can fall in love with a second person, there will be a third, a fourth..."

It is still somewhat believable when someone who is just falling in love swears that there will never be another person in his life. But it is really ridiculous for someone who has loved at least twice to say that he will never love anyone else in his life.

"No." Rong Qing was neither angry nor annoyed, but said slowly: "She is the last one, because I know she is the best."

Hearing this, Chang Yue pursed his lips and did not say any more sarcastic words, such as: How do you know she is the best?

After looking at Rong Qing in silence for a long time, Chang Yue finally said, "I have different ideas from the headmaster sister. The headmaster sister wants you to have no chance to get along with each other, so that Chang Guo will not want to get along with each other after a period of time, especially when you are not interested. But I think it is better to open up than to block—"

"We sword cultivators will keep doing something once we set our mind to it. Thousands of years are but a fleeting moment for us. If Junior Brother Changguo was the kind of frivolous person who could change his mind easily, he wouldn't have lived until today to be moved for the first time. If you force him not to be with you, this feeling might become a long-term obsession, or even worse, he might lose his mind one day. This is what I don't want to see."

"In that case, why not let him go and let him experience the myriad flavors of love from you? Anyway, young friend Yu Rong is determined to remain a virgin. If he doesn't get a response, he will gradually understand it himself."

No matter how crazy or turbulent the feelings are, they will gradually fade away if they are not responded to. Rong Qing knew this very well.

Wasn't her love for Master Zhongyu deep enough at the beginning? She was even heartbroken by him and retreated to a small country in the South China Sea. It was Zhong Xiu's unguarded love that made her throw herself into her second relationship and never get out of it.

If love is not properly maintained, it will eventually be worn out.

"Senior Chang Yue is really confident in leaving this matter to me." Rong Qing shook her head sarcastically.

"That's why I came to talk to you." Chang Yue said calmly, "It's better to open up than to block, and it depends on what kind of person you are. If you are a frivolous person who is greedy for flowers and lust, then I will harm Junior Brother Changguo by doing this."

"The success of my method depends entirely on young friend Yu Rong, so naturally I have to give you some compensation. You can also regard it as a bribe from me. If you agree, you are not allowed to disclose our conversation today to Chang Guo, not even a cent."

When the purple-robed swordsman mentioned the word "bribery", he did not show any shame, but was extremely calm. He raised his hand and pointed at the winding mountain road behind him: "The head sister only gave you ten days to comprehend the sword tablet. Although you have a high level of comprehension, ten days is still too little. This sword tablet has always been kept by me, and the time for disciples to go into the mountains to comprehend has always been arranged by me. If you agree, I can extend your time to comprehend to one year! After one year, I will bring you out again."

"Not only that, I know that what you want to comprehend is the sword tablet that describes the origin of power. I can let you encounter it immediately after entering, and ensure that you have enough time for a year to comprehend it."

"Yu Rong, do you agree?"

Chang Yue looked down at the female cultivator in white.

"Agree!" Number One Under Heaven shouted excitedly in Rong Qing's ear.

"Oh my god." If she wasn't embarrassed to pick her ears in front of her senior, Rong Qing really wanted to pick out the sound. "Master, please don't join in the fun."

Isn't this just watching the fun?

"I don't agree." Rong Qing said bluntly.

"Do you think these conditions are not good enough?" Chang Yue raised his eyebrows.

"Because it's not necessary." Rong Qing looked as calm as an old dog: "Ten days is enough."

Number One in the World was stopped by Rong Qing, but he was complaining in his heart: This is strange, why am I so excited about the possible love affair she might have, am I really disrespectful to my elders?
"Ten days?" Chang Yue leaned forward slightly and said, "Do you know that many people may not be able to encounter the sword monument in ten days, let alone comprehend it?"

"I don't care about others," Rong Qing raised her head and chuckled, "Ten days is enough for me."

"Your cultivation is not high, but you are quite arrogant." Chang Yue seemed to remember something, and his smile was not entirely sarcastic: "But you are so confident in your school."

The same was true for Yu Rong. He was not surprised at all.

"I still have the same two conditions, but in exchange for you not telling anyone else about our conversation today. Do you agree?"

Chang Yue stood up straight, waiting for Rong Qing's answer.

Rong Qing thought about it and felt that with this change, she had gained a great advantage.

She let out a long sigh: "God knows only."

Chang Yue whispered, "You know and I know."

Number One in the World: Huh?

……

Rong Qing stepped into the mountain. Only then did she understand what it meant: In this mountain, the clouds are so deep that no one knows where it is.

Trapped in a mountain with no way out.

A winding mountain path climbs to the horizon, but it is still unknown whether that is the end.

Most people have to climb the mountain while looking for the opportunity to find the sword monument...but how could Rong Qing be one of the majority of people? The administrator gave her a back door, which was like cheating.

As soon as she entered the door, there was a sword monument with a sharp sword intent that reached into the sky standing in front of her, not for anything else, just to block her!
