So the current situation is... one knows, the other doesn’t.
And the other pretends not to know, knowing full well that the other knows they don’t know, creating an effect where both believe the other is in the dark.
Fang Che thinks Yan Beihan being in the dark is false; Yan Beihan knows Fang Che is still in the dark, and that’s true.
This, without a doubt, is the biggest setback Fang Che has experienced in his life so far.
And judging by the situation, as long as Yan Beihan doesn’t reveal the truth, Fang Che will continue to suffer.
They rested until the afternoon.
Fang Che got up again to start preparing. This ti, Yan Beihan also ca to help.
The two worked on each side.
Fang Che found this girl to be surprisingly capable.
Moreover, she worked thodically and tidily.
"How did a young lady like you learn to do these things?" Fang Che asked while working.
"Hehe..."
Yan Beihan sneered and sarcastically remarked, "In your mind, do you think that so-called young lords and ladies are all utterly spoiled and inept?"
Fang Che kept his head down and continued working.
Why did a simple question turn into a serious debate?
Such a fuss!
But Yan Beihan, having been triggered, continued, "In our Wei Wo Zheng Sect, the younger generation is indeed spoiled to grow up as you think. But this spoiling cos with conditions."
"If you truly beco lazy and lack ambition, this spoiling will disappear."
"So you must do your best in everything and outperform others, including rivals. You must work harder and learn more, so that this favor continues."
"Elders’ favor is bestowed based on your potential for future developnt. It’s not just because you are part of the family lineage... that’s impossible."
"So... the ones who are more spoiled tend to be stronger! That’s the ultimate truth of survival!"
Yan Beihan sighed quietly to herself, "Spoiling... sotis we also think, is the so-called spoiling not just an appreciation of our future value? So, it’s also a form of mutual benefit."
Fang Che laughed coldly, "But even without you, it doesn’t affect the current value of the older generation. Besides, even without you, there would be others. So this favor is still extravagant. Are you still dissatisfied?"
Yan Beihan paused in silence and said, "You’re right. Over the years, I’ve often gone out, especially this ti, traveling tens of thousands of miles to the Southeast... Along the way, I’ve seen many children who are also struggling and working hard. If placed in our families, they may have a good future. But what we enjoy... they can’t even imagine in their dreams."
"So, people are different." Yan Beihan smiled, "We are considered fortunate, born with a good start."
Fang Che didn’t expect Yan Beihan to be so clear-headed and said, "Indeed, that’s why you can so easily wave your hand and destroy soone’s lifelong hope, snuff out a hard-working life, and shatter countless family dreams. That’s the gap brought by birth!"
"A matter of stance, debating between you and is aningless."
Yan Beihan lifted a large log and set up a huge tripod, "A person’s life is like this. Even without Wei Wo Zheng Sect, your Guardian Continent killing each other wouldn’t result in fewer deaths."
Fang Che remained silent for a mont and said, "Perhaps."
"I’ve heard of the distant era of empires, when empires fought against each other, leaving the land desolate, smoke rising from the mountains and rivers..."
Yan Beihan continued to set up logs, her voice calm, "About entire cities being wiped out, sparing neither n, won, old nor young... They say that at the most brutal tis, a once-dominant nation’s population was nearly exterminated."
"Those sins... how do they compare to the current Wei Wo Zheng Sect?"
"Besides, were those truly sins?"
Yan Beihan said softly, "What did those innocent people who died do wrong?"
"From this point of view, are we really sinful? We are rely helping so people living in hardship escape this wicked world."
Fang Che sneered, "So, you’re claiming that you’re actually the righteous ones?"
"Is justice and evil truly constant throughout history?"
Yan Beihan asked.
This topic grew increasingly cold.
Neither of them spoke anymore.
Both worked in silence.
As they were about to finish, Yan Beihan finally said softly, "Fang Che, do you admit? This world needs battles, wars, and struggles."
"Whether on the business field, students at the Martial Arts Academy, warriors on the battlefield, martial artists in the Jianghu, it’s all a struggle!"
"Survival of the fittest, the strong thrive while the weak perish."
"Whether it’s for beauty, wealth, temperant, desires, and countless other reasons... humans have been doing the sa thing since ancient tis."
"It’s all about fighting, struggling!"
"All wealth, beauty, victory, luxury, enjoynt, scenery... these are luxuries!"
Yan Beihan placed the last log at the top, clapping her hands gently, "Only the victors or survivors can attain them!"
"What we pursue throughout our lives is simply to beco survivors, and then to beco victors among survivors! Nothing more!"
"So debating right and wrong, good and evil, holds no significance."
