Chapter 575 150: Entry (4,500 Words) (Part 3)
She still remembered how that woman, much weaker than her, insulted her.
"Already such a grown-up, and still only a Tier Four Apprentice Death God, yet can't even figure out her own identity."
"Wanting to be the obedient daughter in the family, receiving praises from parents and relatives, yet also wanting to maintain the most basic relationships with her wanted teacher and senior brothers. Wanting both, unwilling to give up either."
"But where in the world do such good things happen?"
"If you want to be with the council, you must prove to us that you are sufficiently loyal, having completely shaken off the past; if you want to be your Hero of Calamity, bring us their heads to claim credit with your teacher."
"Trying to have both ways, and in the end, nothing is left."
"Think about it carefully, in this action, make your final choice."
"Neither the council nor your teacher can tolerate a fence-sitter, a two-faced person!"
"..."
Tang Jin took a deep breath and silently clenched her fist.
Indeed...
It was time for her to make her choice.
Let everything from the past reach a conclusion in that black spherical Cyberspace.
She no longer spoke, just leapt out of the window, transforming into a stream of light, flying towards the distant District T.
...
Nest City Lower City, District X, Rust Bay.
"It has begun."
Inside the teahouse, Old Jin put down the teacup in his hand, his deep gaze looking towards the direction of District T.
"I can feel that guy's power, the familiar Cyberspace..."
He turned around, looking at Jiang Wuji who was sitting opposite him.
"You should have also received an email from Ah You, right?"
Jiang Wuji nodded lightly but didn't speak immediately.
"It seems they are determined to extinguish this flame of 'change'.
Old Jin lightly stretched his shoulders and then stood up.
"Since that's the case... we can't just sit back and do nothing either."
"It's been a long time since I've moved my muscles. If I don't make a move soon, in a few years, there might not even be a few people left in this city who know my name."
"Let's make a good ruckus, for Ah You, and for... ourselves."
Hearing this, Jiang Wuji's hand holding the tea stiffened, his originally playful expression now becoming somewhat complicated, with both solemnity and helplessness.
"Old man."
The young man downed his tea in one gulp and softly said, "You still can't let go of what happened back then."
"Some things cannot be let go."
Old Jin shook his head lightly.
"Even if a hundred years pass, I won't forget what that person did to 'Lamia'."
"If I don't end the grudge between him and me, Tier Seven will always be just a legend, an illusion... After all, what right does someone who can't even fulfill their own wish have to become truly 'Supreme'?"
He smiled as he spoke, then asked in return, "Do you think I'm a bit selfish in this way? A bit impulsive?"
"Hmph."
Jiang Wuji snorted softly, shaking his head, "No."
"On the contrary, I think this kind of old man is actually a normal person, with normal emotions and desires, and those not so noble... but sufficiently down-to-earth wishes."
"If you could combine the two kinds of desires, being great but also willing to admit that you have a small bit of selfishness, then maybe I would follow you all the time."
Old Jin did not deny this, but nor did he continue the conversation, just lightly waved his sleeve, placing a few coins on the table as a tea fee.
"Alright, let's save the unnecessary words for later, don't keep that girl waiting."
"Let's set off and meet our enemies."
Jiang Wuji nodded and slowly stood up, clenching his fist.
"Old man, I once went to a fortune teller, and he said my life was thin and my lifeline short, likely not living past forty."
"I'm already thirty-six today. If that charlatan was right, I've probably only got a few years left."
"While I'm still alive, I'll join you in a bit of chaos, it wouldn't be a wasted life!"
"Heh, you cheeky kid, can't you say something nicer?"
"That's impossible... old man, humor and banter are also a knight's nature!"
