After finishing his work, he habitually lights a cigarette to relieve his fatigue.

The cigarette butt burned quietly in the flame.

Lu Linglong grinned, her hands resting on her slender waist.

"Bai Yuan! I, Lu Linglong, owe you a favor!"

Bai Yuan closed his eyes, his lips pressed slightly together, and the lit cigarette butt suddenly shone brightly, as if it were about to ignite the distant sunset.

Fu...

Slowly exhaling a smoke ring, Bai Yuan gave a faint smile.

"Remember to send the money!"

Lu Linglong flicked the tip of her nose with her finger and responded coolly:

"Hehe...don't worry about that!"

then,

The atmosphere in the courtyard became inexplicably quiet.

The group of people in the courtyard watched the sunset in the distance, silent and inexplicably harmonious.

It's as if waiting for the distant sunset to slowly sink and then rise again will bring another day full of hope and beauty.

In fact...

This is true.

After a while,

The old man leaning against the grape trellis broke the silence by speaking first.

"Young man, I have finally been relieved of the mission of the Trinity Sect's flame today."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you, but I don't want to thank you, kid!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Stop being so fussy, I didn't ask you for your thanks."

"Hey! You're just my type! I didn't pick the wrong person!"

The old man cursed under his breath, but he couldn't hide the satisfaction on his face.

But then,

The old man's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

"Young man, your talent... uh... is barely passable, you can't say you're exceptionally gifted, but don't be discouraged, you're only a little less talented than I was back then!"

"When Lu Jin first joined the sect, his talent was even worse than yours, but look how well he's doing now, he's become one of the Ten Elders!"

"So you must diligently cultivate the 'Triple Rebirth Technique,' and perhaps in time you will be able to break through to a realm that even Lu Jin can only dream of!"

Bai Yuan leisurely stubbed out his cigarette.

"It's all up to fate..."

Upon hearing "it's up to fate," the old man immediately became anxious.

"It's all about fate!"

"This is cultivation, and cultivation requires diligence and hard work. Your talent is the most... the most average I've ever seen! You need to practice even more!"

Bai Yuan seemed completely deaf to what he was saying.

"Gentlemen, you should go back now. There are no beds available for sleeping in this mountain valley at night."

The words fell.

He just walked away.

After a moment of surprise, the two siblings from the Lu family followed Bai Yuan.

At the same time, Lu Linglong turned around and waved:

"Senior Wang, I've left my phone number. Please give me a call if you need anything, and my cousin and I will come to see you!"

But suddenly,

Bai Yuan turned around and asked with a smile:

"Old man, do you still think I look like Wugensheng?"

The old man paused, staring at his shadow cast by the setting sun, and cursed fiercely.

"Bah! If Wugensheng had done the same thing to you back then, the other thirty-five of them would have chopped him into mincemeat!"

"Hahaha!"

...

The old man stood in his small courtyard, watching the three figures gradually disappear into the distance.

As the sun sets,

Until the three young people's figures completely disappeared.

The old man muttered to himself:

"Bai Yuan... if only I had met you sooner..."

During the treatment process.

Bai Yuanchao asked him:

"Old man, do you think your life has been ruined by the Trinity Sect?"

He replied:

"Is not it?"

This statement is full of resentment.

He blamed the Trinity Gate, but even more so himself.

He lamented his own stupidity, having lived his entire life without ever breaking through the "barrier" mentioned by the "master".

It takes a lifetime to barely break through the peak of the second level of reverse rebirth.

It's only a step, or even half a step, away from the legendary triple level.

But the distance between them... is impossibly vast.

After all,

Prince Xu felt that his life had been utterly meaningless.

He began to have great doubts about what he had always adhered to.

He regretted becoming a "spark" of the Trinity.

He did not die young in the battle against Quanxing.

When Bai Yuan heard his answer, he seemed to see through the knot in his heart at a glance.

So I said something to him that caught him off guard.

"If you could go back to the beginning, would you still choose to become the spark of the Trinity?"

"...I...I guess...I was a fucking idiot back then. Even if it was against my conscience, I would lie to myself and make the same choice." He gave a candid answer.

After he finished speaking, he added,

"I'm such a fucking idiot!"

At that moment, Bai Yuan was holding a scalpel, and he said at the end,

"Old man... don't be too hard on your past self, because 'he' didn't experience what you're going through now. As for what you're holding onto, is it even meaningful? No one can answer that..."

"A gentleman can be deceived by his principles."

"Tsk... what gentleman or what 'square'? I haven't read any books!"

"...Ha! Old man... Well then, remember this: while you're still alive, live life to the fullest and do things you never dared to do before!"

"for example?"

"Hmm... go to a club and hire young models, or... go to a club and become a young model."

For elderly people who have lived in seclusion for many years.

He didn't know what a 'young model' was.

But with his eyes half-closed, he gazed at the afterglow of the setting sun with a relieved expression, and murmured:

"Humans are destined to live a life filled with regrets..."

"Good..."

Chapter 210 I'll get beaten up too!

Two days later,

Led by Mu You, one of the Ten Elders, in conjunction with the Yaoxing Society.

A major announcement has been made!

That means Shang Genqi, who was captured in Biyou Village, and other involved personnel will be escorted to a hidden bunker...

Execute them!

According to sources who wish to remain anonymous, more information continues to emerge.

The two news media outlets also attached photos showing individuals involved in the Biyou Village incident being severely beaten and tortured...

This is a message.

This caused an uproar within the industry!

The current head of the Zhuge family couldn't sit still any longer and took a helicopter to parachute to the headquarters of NaDuTong.

He confronted Zhao Fangxu in a menacing manner.

Simultaneously,

Many influential figures called the company to subtly inquire about matters.

Although it doesn't concern me...

However, the company's unusual behavior left everyone unsure of what to do without making a phone call to confirm.

However, many other forces felt a sense of doubt.

Honestly...

If the company truly intended to secretly execute these people, it wouldn't have resorted to public executions, much less leak the matter.

Even if it is accidentally leaked.

Even if Mu You of Jianghu Xiaozhan had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to report on it casually.

Unless he wants to eat... the delivery guy will come to his door!

Therefore,

This looks like a well-intentioned scheme...

A calculated scheme with a strong naive flavor.

...

at the same time,

Several temporary workers from the company were mobilized once again.

The group followed Zhang Chulan all the way to a hidden bunker.

Hidden in the shadows were the two siblings from the Lu family.

People who operate both openly and covertly.
