Naturally, she raised her palm tremblingly. The next moment, she looked hard and slapped her lower abdomen with her palm!
boom!
"puff!"
There was a muffled sound, followed by the sound of vomiting blood.
But it was Chu Ling who smashed her spiritual roots to pieces with one palm, causing her inner energy to dissipate instantly.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yancai nodded coldly, and then looked at Chu Tian and others who looked ashen.
"From today on, I will no longer be called Chu Yan, but will revert to my mother's surname, which is Luo Yan."
Chu Yan said coldly, "This means that from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."
After saying this, Chu Yan, no, or rather Luo Yan, turned her head and looked at Zhao Zhen.
"Haha, well done."
Seeing Luo Yan's eyes, Zhao Zhen also smiled and nodded, "Okay, now that your matter has been resolved, let's go."
"good."
Luo Yan nodded, and the next moment Zhao Zhen no longer hesitated. With a movement of his body, he took Luo Yan and left the Chu family's mansion.
And watching Zhao Zhen and Luo Yan leave, everyone in the Chu family looked pale and their eyes were dull.
But at this moment, they didn't know what to do.
They can't even feel hatred.
After all, Zhao Zhen is really too strong, so strong that they can only feel powerless and helpless.
Of course, at this moment, they were left with nothing but sluggishness and confusion.
The people watching also shook their heads.
They knew that the Chu family was finished.
The original second-rate top family, starting from today, is afraid that it will completely fall to the bottom-rate family, and it is unclear whether it can even maintain the existence of the family.
And the person who caused all this was the famous Zhao Zhen.
Naturally, at this moment, they also remembered Zhao Zhen deeply in their minds.
Because they knew that Zhao Zhen was just coming to the Holy Dynasty for the first time.
When he first came to the Holy Dynasty, Zhao Zhen wiped out a second-rate top family.
If the time is longer, how much great things will Zhao Zhen do in their holy dynasty?
As for what these people think, Zhao Zhen and Luo Yan naturally don't know at this moment.
At this time, they had arrived at a restaurant.
Here, Zhao Zhen ordered a pot of wine and several plates of spirit animal meat, and sat down with Luo Yan.
After the wine and meat were served, Zhao Zhen poured a glass for Luo Yan, and then said with a smile, "Chu... no, Luo Yan, I wonder what your plans are in the future?"
Luo Yan was in a daze at the moment, and seemed to be still immersed in the emotions just now.
But when she heard Zhao Zhen's words, she perked up and said, "I plan to be a casual cultivator and travel around the world like my mother did back then."
"Um."
Zhao Zhen nodded as he listened, "It's enough to travel around the world with your current level, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing for you now is to first find the five-thousand-year-old Flame Sun Grass and the Heavenly Level Five Swallow the heavy Jade Flame Centipede to solve the problems in your body first, and then you can practice the complete Thousand Poison Technique again after solving the problem of the technique. Only then can you walk in the world correctly."
"I see."
Luo Yan also nodded.
"Well, that's good. You can take these two tokens."
Zhao Zhen nodded, then waved his hand and threw two tokens to Luo Yan.
"This is?"
"These two tokens, one is the Qingyun token. This Qingyun token is the token of my sect in the Shenlong Dynasty, the Qingyun sect. With this token, whenever you want to go to the Qingyun sect, you can You can go, but I can’t guarantee where else it will be. Having a place to settle down won’t be a problem.”
Zhao Zhendao said, "The other token is the Guanlan Jade given to me by Xianzong Xiao Guanlan. You can take it to Xianzong or to the chamber of commerce run by Xianzong. You don't need to say anything. You just need to shine it. It will be natural." Someone will arrange a safe place for you so that you don’t have to worry about cultivation resources.
. "
Hearing this, Luo Yan's body was also shaken, and her eyes showed excitement again, as if she wanted to say something.
Zhao Zhen quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, I said, we are friends. Since we are friends, don't say more, just take it."
This made the excitement in Luo Yan's eyes even stronger, but she didn't say much. She just picked up the wine bowl, touched it with Zhao Zhen, and drank it all in one gulp. .z.
Zhao Zhen also laughed and drank from the wine bowl in one gulp.
"Mr. Zhao, I have a question."
After Zhao Zhen finished drinking, Luo Yan looked at Zhao Zhen and said seriously, "Is that why?"
"what why?"
"Why are you helping me so much?"
Luo Yan said seriously, "Why is Mr. Zhao willing to kill so many people for me? Is it just because Mr. Zhao is unhappy seeing what happened to me?"
"Haha, don't call me Mr. Zhao, just call me Zhao Zhen. There is no need to be so polite between friends."
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, "As for why I'm helping you so much, of course it's not just because it's unpleasant to see you go through, but more importantly, it's pleasing to your eyes."
"Pleasant?"
Luo Yan asked curiously.
"Yes, it is pleasing to the eye, and pleasing to the eye is pleasing to the heart." Zhao Zhen said with a smile, "This sounds a bit mysterious, but it is actually a very simple truth. My martial arts is moving forward indomitably, and my spirit is advancing bravely, and If I want to maintain these two points, I have to keep one thought clear and my mind at ease, which means I have to take care of things that I can’t stand.”
"Of course, this kind of understanding and comfort is not absolute. After all, I am just me and I cannot represent others. So after seeing your experience, although I was very unhappy, I still gave you a choice. One is to obey The family arrangement means sacrificing yourself, then I will not stop you, because this is your decision. The second is that you chose to break the family arrangement and not be the one who was sacrificed, and you chose the second one."
"And this second one is what I appreciate, because if I were you, I wouldn't be willing to be the one who was sacrificed. Since we think the same thing, and I helped you later, then I will naturally help you. in the end."
After hearing these words, Luo Yan also understood, but soon she became suspicious again, "Is it so important to have clear thoughts and feel comfortable?"
"Of course it's important, especially for a swordsman like me."
Zhao Zhen smiled, "After all, a swordsman is straight, and this straightness not only describes the sword, but also describes the human spirit and soul. If you can't make your mind like a sword and your spirit like a sword, then how can you talk about practicing swordsmanship?"
"But...there are always some things that you have to bow your head to."
Luo Yan said, "When people live in the world, they always have various restrictions. Sometimes it is for profit, sometimes it is for survival. If you are like Mr. Zhao... no, like Mr. Zhao, you just want to be comfortable in everything. If you have clear thoughts, how can you survive in this cruel world?"
"Good question."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "This is the real difference between the strong and the weak."
Luo Yan also perked up and looked at Zhao Zhen seriously, "Brother Zhao, please give me some advice."
"Haha, I'm not talking about teaching, I'm just sharing my own experience." Zhao Zhen shook his head with a smile, drank another gulp of wine, and then said, "As you said, the world is cruel and there are traps everywhere. and thorns, and if you want to survive among them, you have to learn to be like a fly and a dog, to be conceited, and even to learn to take the initiative to defile yourself. This is right, because survival is the first priority.”
"But this is only based on conditions that threaten survival."
"If it doesn't affect survival, then the rest will naturally go smoothly."
Hearing this, Luo Yan's eyes flashed with some understanding, but soon, they were filled with doubts.
"Let me use an analogy."
Seeing the confusion in Luo Yan's eyes, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "For example, your grandfather Chu Tian is a strong man at the fifth level of Kongwu. Do you think I will still help you like this?"
"this…"
Luo Yan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
She really didn't know, because it was her first time meeting someone like Zhao Zhen, and she couldn't predict Zhao Zhen's actions at all.
"The answer is no."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Because the fifth level of Kongwu is too strong, one finger can kill me. If I help you like before, then I am seeking death, so naturally I will not do this. The most I can do , which means telling you the truth and then walking away."
Hearing this, Luo Yan's body trembled, and a look of enlightenment suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"I understand, going well is the pursuit, but the prerequisite is to ensure one's own survival."
Luo Yan said.
"correct."
Zhao Zhen stopped smiling and said seriously, "That's what it means. After all, if a person can't even guarantee his survival, how can he talk about being happy? However, this is only the first step. The so-called doing one's best is this step."
"What about the second step?"
Luo Yan's eyes lit up and she immediately asked.
But at this moment, she was already fascinated by Zhao Zhen's words. After all, she had been practicing martial arts for many years, but she had never heard such true insights.
"The second step is difficult. To put it simply, it is to die without regrets, which is what I said before, to obey fate."
Zhao Zhen smiled faintly, "This sounds in conflict with the first step, but in fact it is in the same vein, because if you pursue it to the extreme, you will form your own principles, and principles are certain things that cannot be compromised or bowed to. Things, for example, your father sacrificed your mother, and you don’t want to be sacrificed again, that means you can’t give in.”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yan's body was shocked, and she nodded solemnly and said, "So that's it. The so-called dying without regrets means being loyal to one's own heart. Even if there are endless dangers ahead, or even death ahead, there is no turning back."
"Yes, that's what it means."
Zhao Zhen nodded, "It is precisely because I saw this in you that I chose to help you like this, because this is amazing. While you chose to be loyal to yourself, you did not feel sorry for anyone. This is what distinguishes the strong and the weak. the difference."
After hearing this, Luo Yan also completely understood.
What does it mean to do your best and obey fate?
Doing your best is to ensure survival while trying to do things that go well with you and that you think are right.
To obey fate means to finish what you should do, and after finishing it, wait for the result to arrive.
"call…"
After taking a deep breath, Luo Yan looked at Zhao Zhendao seriously in the next moment, "Brother Zhao's words today are worth more than a hundred years of practice and I have learned more."
"Haha, don't say that. You still have the courage to resist the injustice your family has done to you. Otherwise, we wouldn't be sitting here drinking."
Zhao Zhen smiled and then picked up the wine bowl. Luo Yan also picked up the wine bowl with both hands, touched Zhao Zhen respectfully, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Zhen also drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and then said, "Okay, Luo Yan, although you and I met by chance, our friendship is very deep, so I won't say any more polite words. I'm leaving now. I There are still things to do, and as for you, I have made all the arrangements I can. In the final analysis, you will always be my friend wherever you go. If you have any difficulties, go to Qingyun Sect or Xianzong and there will be someone to help you solve it."
"Well, thank you very much."
Luo Yan also nodded and said seriously, "So Brother Zhao, from now on, you can see my performance."
"Haha, easy to say."
Zhao Zhen laughed, then stood up and called the waiter in the restaurant to pack the spirit beast meat.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhen asked for some spiritual beast meat and put it away, and then left the restaurant with Luo Yan.
"Brother Zhao, goodbye."
