Dream-Making Expert
“They are certain of the unreliability of human nature.”
“They believe that under the general trend, you will inevitably betray me.”
“So in this game, They consider themselves already standing in an invincible position.”
“To the point that They actually do not care about my struggles and resistance.”
“They even hope I will struggle and resist with all my might, to help Them confirm and eliminate more possibilities of error.”
“Thereby seizing the greatest benefit.”
“Regarding Their judgment, I am equally certain.”
“But there is one point I cannot agree with.”
“That is, precisely because we both believe in the unreliability of human nature.”
“The true outcome is not that whoever you help will win, but that whoever wins is the one you will help!”
“Perhaps even They themselves think this way!”
…
When leaving Hangzhou.
The Peerless Young Master stood on Xu Xian’s shoulder.
Watching Xu Xian gaze reluctantly at Hangzhou City, what echoed in his mind was the final conversation Lin Qi had with them before undergoing this Return to Void Tribulation.
It had been an open and honest conversation.
No speculation, no suspicion, no paranoia.
But likewise no naive belief that one should trust those one uses and use those one trusts.
Only the purest thing, tearing apart everything that seemed noble and above benefit.
With the most despicable and unbearable words, he had spoken an eternal truth unchanged through the ages.
That is, all under heaven bustle for profit; all under heaven rush for profit.
He described all allegiance and betrayal as merely the result of weighing pros and cons.
That day, the Peerless Young Master had actually very much wanted to refute it.
But the Old Man said.
This was the most crucial core of the battle between enemy and self.
It did not shift according to the will of any single individual.
This was the essence of how the society formed by all sentient beings operated.
The winner becomes king, the loser becomes outlaw — it has always been so.
Only by understanding this point.
Did they have a thread of survival.
“Grandfather.”
“Hm?”
Xu Xian, looking back at every step as he left Hangzhou City, suddenly heard Peerless call him and quickly looked up.
“We have already found out.”
“The reason you failed the exam last time was because those two Snake Demons and Fahai were secretly working against you.”
“Actually, you were originally on the Golden List.”
The Peerless Young Master’s words made Xu Xian freeze slightly.
Then realization struck. “I see, I knew I tested extremely well last time. How could I have failed?”
Xu Xian was vexed, but past events could not be pursued.
