"Now, you have to learn how to face your future, right?" Hou Xiaozhu said to Ye Tiancheng at this moment.
Ye Tiancheng's inner thoughts were quite tragic; he didn't want to eat at this place.
After all, this place was a painful memory for him.
"Are you trying to demoralize me?" Hou Xiaozhu saw a look of extreme reluctance appear on Ye Tiancheng's face.
"Not at all!" Ye Tiancheng didn't know how to express his emotions to her, but he refused to let his emotions freeze up like this; this was his most genuine inner thought.
Hou Xiaozhu's demeanor made Ye Tiancheng exceptionally worried. After all, some worries couldn't be expressed too overtly. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng immediately reined in his emotions and then gave Hou Xiaozhu a gentle smile. This smile expressed Ye Tiancheng's absolute thoughts.
Perhaps, many things, at a certain moment, appear in a way that is utterly speechless.
But how would Ye Tiancheng feel at this moment?
This would no longer allow Ye Tiancheng to have a friendly chat, but rather made Ye Tiancheng feel a certain oppressive limitation.
Sometimes, this girl's feelings towards Ye Tiancheng were so desolate, making Ye Tiancheng feel very oppressed. Perhaps it was this feeling that would cause some change in his heart, and such a change would then make him extremely nervous.
"Alright, we're done eating. What should we do now?" Hou Xiaozhu asked Ye Tiancheng with a radiant smile.
Ye Tiancheng said nothing, but his heart was filled with all sorts of thoughts, and many things arose from these thoughts.
These feelings were not simple to express in words. Simply put, they were his most sincere inner thoughts. And these thoughts were more important than anything to Ye Tiancheng; he wanted to express them more seriously than anything else.
After these thoughts, how would they change his heart?
This was not a simple process that he could understand.
Within these things, there were too many complex factors.
"What you want to express, others will hide; what you want others to value, they will not easily reveal. Ye Tiancheng's heart... is truly complex!" It was naturally the Divine Stone who said this. The Divine Stone's words made Ye Tiancheng feel a certain displeasure, as many things were simply like suppressed burdens to him.
This made Ye Tiancheng feel a different kind of atmosphere.
"Why! I always feel like you won't give me any hints at the crucial moments, but instead, you'll cause trouble for me at the crucial moments?" Ye Tiancheng took a deep breath and asked the guy.
The Divine Stone felt there was no need to answer Ye Tiancheng's question, at least that's how he saw it.
And Ye Tiancheng found this culture truly laughable and pathetic; at the very least, there was no room for negotiation with this guy.
Therefore, he spoke to him in this manner.
Ye Tiancheng's words made the Divine Stone find it laughable, so he said, "Alright... you can be stubborn if you want to be. I don't want to get involved in your affairs anymore. But on the path of cultivation, I regret to inform you, it is a very long and dangerous road. If you're not careful, you'll be doomed forever."
Speaking of this, Ye Tiancheng's heart fell into a very complicated situation. He originally wanted to discuss things properly with the other party, but the Divine Stone, Yang En, didn't want to listen to Ye Tiancheng's words. This put Ye Tiancheng in a very troublesome situation.
He had to seek the Divine Stone's advice and asked him humbly, "Why do you always speak in halves? Why don't you ever tell me everything completely?"
"Is it because I like to do it this way? Is that wrong?"
"No, you're absolutely right. I have nothing to say." Ye Tiancheng really wanted to object to his words, but he couldn't, because this guy was too bizarre. He did almost everything without leaving Ye Tiancheng any room, which could be said to have completely ruined Ye Tiancheng's reputation.
Seeing that this guy was so disrespectful to him and constantly suppressing him, Ye Tiancheng's frustration was indescribable. But he had no choice. At this point, he could only enjoy the fact that everything was controlled so accurately and perfectly by the Divine Stone. He had no way to strategize with him at this moment; instead, he had to obey this guy's wishes. If he didn't, he would pay a heavy price.
"I never expected you to be so much, old man. Everything is controlled by you so critically." Ye Tiancheng showed extreme anger towards the Divine Stone, hoping this guy would give him a clear answer and a future he could accept. But this guy completely disregarded Ye Tiancheng's well-being. His words were very annoying, yet there was nothing he could do.
"Whether it's the past, present, or future, destiny is in your hands. What you do is your business, and what I do is my business. If you cannot understand this, you will pay more dearly in the future."
The Divine Stone could only say so much. The truth of it all depended on Ye Tiancheng's own enlightenment.
All of this was serious and needed to be developed conscientiously, to fulfill its mission impatiently. Therefore, he hoped to gain some enlightenment at this juncture. He had to gain enlightenment, and naturally, he would pay a heavy price. He understood this and was very clear about it, so he really wanted to make things clear to the other party.
"I truly have no choice, no options." Ye Tiancheng finally understood what the Divine Stone wanted to express, but he didn't say it now because there was no point in saying it. It was better to keep it in his heart. At that moment, Hou Xiaozhu, who was by his side, saw his expression and her expression changed from moment to moment, making her very astonished, thinking he had gone mad.
Seeing Hou Xiaozhu's surprised expression, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but give a wry smile.
Meanwhile, in another corner, an unpleasant aura emanated. He couldn't pay attention to Hou Xiaozhu now and immediately sent her home.
This girl was very sensible. She didn't know what Ye Tiancheng was thinking, so she immediately went home.
Just then, there was a tearing sound in the air, and a girl as white as snow descended from the sky. She was Lin Xue.
That is to say, Hei Ya's junior sister. This woman, who cultivated in the same sect, knew that Ye Tiancheng had killed her senior brother, so she rushed to Xiaohe Village to seek revenge on Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng only saw that she was a very beautiful girl, but her face was as cold as frost, and she held a long sword in her hand, its sharp tip pointed directly at his face.
"Seeing you in this state, I understand we are enemies. So tell me, who do you belong to?" Ye Tiancheng's words were asking the girl who she was.
"You just forgot about the storage ring in your hand, that person." Without another word, she swung her long sword towards Ye Tiancheng, slicing through the air with a tearing sound as it flew towards him. If this blow were to hit a person, it would surely cleave them in two. He never expected such power from such a delicate woman; it was quite surprising.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful. The more powerful a girl is, the more she should restrain herself, otherwise, she'll suffer greatly."
Ye Tiancheng didn't pay attention to the girl's attack; what he cared about was that her long sword was somewhat strange.
"I can tell your long sword is extraordinary. Why are you attacking me without any rhyme or reason? That guy Hei Ya deserved to die. If you don't want to die with him, you'd best stop attacking." Ye Tiancheng's words carried a chilling aura, meaning this was his final warning. If she didn't heed his warning, he would truly launch an attack next.
Lin Xue didn't take Ye Tiancheng's words to heart at all, because her cultivation was much higher than her senior brother Hei Ya's. Therefore, she didn't care about such a threat and continued to attack forward with her long sword.
However, her long sword stopped abruptly in mid-air, as if an invisible force was controlling her body. She had no ability to twist the sword at all.
"What's going on?" Utter surprise appeared on her face. She never dreamed that Ye Tiancheng possessed such an ability to control people, so she was very surprised and very frightened.
"It's not a problem to tell you. That is, I will absolutely make you understand." Ye Tiancheng didn't say anything further and proceeded to control Lin Xue.
After being controlled, this girl had no ability to move at all; her entire being was in a completely passive state.
"You are truly a bastard! Release the control quickly, or you will regret it."
"You're still so arrogant even after being controlled by me. You're the first. How dare you speak to me like this? Because those who spoke to me like this before have all died." Ye Tiancheng spoke to her very impolitely, his words carrying infinite killing intent. It was this kind of oppressive move that made her feel that her own problems needed significant change, but this guy didn't want to admit defeat like this, and her words were still very domineering.
"I can't believe you're so much. Old man, everything is controlled by you so critically."
"Whether it's the past, present, or future, destiny is in your hands. What you do is your business, and what I do is my business. If you cannot understand this, you will pay more dearly in the future."
The Divine Stone could only say so much. The truth of it all depended on Ye Tiancheng's own enlightenment.

Seeing Hou Xiaozhu's surprised expression, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but give a wry smile.
Meanwhile, in another corner, an unpleasant aura emanated. He couldn't pay attention to Hou Xiaozhu now and immediately sent her home.
This girl was very sensible. She didn't know what Ye Tiancheng was thinking, so she immediately went home.

It was better to keep it in his heart. At that moment, Hou Xiaozhu, who was by his side, saw his expression and her expression changed from moment to moment, making her very astonished, thinking he had gone mad.
Seeing Hou Xiaozhu's surprised expression, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but give a wry smile.
"I don't want to fight anymore." Ye Tiancheng smiled at her calmly, his expression intriguing.
"You think it's over just like that? I came to settle the score with you with a resolve to die. If I don't kill you, I can't explain myself to my sect. And there's only one outcome for me: to meet the King of Hell."
"So you're doing this under pressure from your sect? Then I'll tell you something very clearly: your sect will be destroyed by me. So you don't need to worry so much, nor do you need to carry out such a foolish order." Because he saw that this girl was very cute and pure, like a snowflake, he felt a pang of pity. If she were a grown man, Lin Xue would have been a dead person by now. Because there are fewer and fewer girls in the world and more and more men, causing nutritional imbalance, the more men die, the better. Women, well, need to be protected.
Such a thought might only occur to a fool like Ye Tiancheng. If such a biased thought were to arise, it would likely only originate in his head. Normal people would absolutely not think this way, because everyone's life is sacred and inviolable. No one can take it away. But in the eyes of the strong, life is no longer life; it is like mud that can be molded at will.
Therefore, he is not someone who plays by the rules; he is someone who acts as he pleases, says what he wants, and doesn't care even if he is scorned by thousands of people. Such a dark heart will naturally give birth to a dark theory and his ultimate dark pursuit.
"Your words are truly disappointing, and I will absolutely not agree with what you say, nor do I think what you're doing is very correct." Lin Xue felt that Ye Tiancheng's words were too arbitrary because he didn't know the existence of her sect and spoke like this, which was like puffing oneself up with false pride. Their sect was incredibly powerful. Even he was just a handyman. If their sect sent a powerful person, Ye Tiancheng would be defeated a hundred times over.
But Ye Tiancheng didn't care about these things. What he cared about was whether his mood would be depressed, whether he would be treated as a person. He was only for himself. As for the life and death of others, it had nothing to do with him. Seeing that Lin Xue looked down on him so much, Ye Tiancheng said nothing. Instead, he glanced at the woman indifferently, sheathed his long sword into his storage ring, and walked away, patting his butt.
Seeing him sheathe her long sword, Lin Xue was furious, but she couldn't get it back. After all, Ye Tiancheng's strength was there. Without strength, everything was non-existent. That is to say, if Lin Xue had the ability, she would not have ended up like this.
For Lin Xue, the goal she wanted to achieve could no longer be achieved. She could only accept the established reality. The mission was not completed, and she could not go back. She could only run as far as possible. No matter how far she fled, there was no place for her to be at peace, because her thoughts were powerful. Even if she ran to a place where she thought she wouldn't be found, it wouldn't work, because the Earth is so big, you can't grow wings and fly to Mars. As long as you stay on this Earth, you will be found by her sect.
