School Beauty's Personal Martial Expert-Chapter 572: Mysterious Dream 2

Leng Xuan couldn’t bear the silence any longer, so he spoke up, "Who are you?"

The mysterious person did not maintain silence and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"You haven’t answered me yet?"

"Who I am is not important, what’s important is that you need to know who you are. I am not talking about your name, as that is merely a title. You need to truly understand yourself to know who you are." The cryptic words of the mysterious person left Leng Xuan confused.

Leng Xuan retorted, "Then do you know who I am?"

"Of course, I do," the mysterious person replied, "You are but an ant, a lowly existence."

"What?" Leng Xuan couldn’t help but rage, frowning as he said, "Are you insulting me?"

"I am merely stating a fact," the mysterious person’s voice remained calm, "This world has fallen into ruin, no one is truly recognizing themselves. They all confine themselves within a tiny space, leading a life of blissful ignorance, thinking that this is a wonderful life. Yet they do not realize that in the eyes of some, they are nothing but toys to be trifled with."

It seemed like Leng Xuan was beginning to grasp some meaning, but he was still somewhat puzzled, so he asked, "Can you explain more clearly?"

"Heaven and Earth are heartless, using all things as straw dogs," the mysterious person inquired, "What is Heaven? What is Earth? Do you know?"

"Heaven dictates fate, and Earth the veins; together they nurture all beings."

"Hah!" The mysterious person chuckled dismissively, "Just as I thought, you have no understanding of Heaven and Earth at all. It’s no wonder; those of you who live in this world are used to it. You believe that Heaven and Earth are your Dominators, the writers of your destiny."

"What do you mean by that?"

The mysterious person shook his head in mockery and said, "And here you are, a disciple of the Defying Heaven Art, yet so shortsighted, truly disappointing." With that, he walked over to a window and pushed it open, then beckoned Leng Xuan, "Come over here and take a look."

Leng Xuan did as told and cast his gaze outside. He immediately saw a group of people in tattered clothes, with sallow, emaciated faces, laboring under the scorching sun. The mysterious person then walked over to another window, pushed it open, and said, "Now come and look here." Leng Xuan moved lightly over, and he witnessed a group of corpulent men in luxurious clothes, each with a seductive beauty in their arms, driving expensive cars, throwing money around like dirt.

The mysterious person asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"

Without hesitation, Leng Xuan replied, "Poverty and wealth."

"Do you think this is fair?"

"Why is it not fair?" Leng Xuan said, "Everyone has a different fate. If everyone complained about their life, how could the world go on?"

"You’re not wrong there!" The mysterious person surprisingly did not object to this point and let out a world-weary laugh, "Indeed, everyone has their own fate arranged, and no one can expect to be like someone else." However, his line of thought suddenly shifted, "But what if these fates were not arranged by the heavens?"

"What do you mean?" Leng Xuan was somewhat unclear. frёeωebɳovel.com

The mysterious person said, "There is cause and effect in the cycle of life; the seeds planted in a past life determine the fruits reaped in this life, and that is the true Heaven and Earth Laws. But these laws have been usurped, and the world no longer abides by the cycle of karma. The wicked often reap far more than the good, and in the end, after committing egregious acts, they may die peacefully while the good often die unjustly with nowhere to plead their case. Why is that?"
