Chapter 230 Xinglan Teaching
Chu Xinglan, who seemed to be walking away but actually just changed direction and came back, proudly raised his eyebrows at Yi Zhen behind him.
"Well, it still has to be me, right?"
Yizhen looked at him with an indescribable look, wanting to refute something, but looking at Chen Rui not far away, whose eyes were red and seemed to be turning evil, he just shouted a word and the tyrannical aura on his body completely disappeared. He looked like he was doubting his life but couldn't suppress his joy, so he swallowed his words back.
He looked at Chu Xinglan in confusion: "Why...?"
He had just said a lot to Chen Rui, but he could clearly feel that Chen Rui did not listen to what he said.
At least although Chen Rui looked comforted and expressed his gratitude to him, there was still no trace of anger on his face.
As a result, Chu Xinglan went up and scolded the man harshly. And this guy suddenly found hope of survival?
Thinking about their sect's past battle records, although they saved some people, when they visited them later, they found that most people had returned to their former selves, and some even chose to end their lives again not long after they left.
Actually, they are also very frustrated, but sometimes, they really feel powerless.
Chu Xinglan's actions today were no less than suddenly opening a door to a new world for Yizhen.
Chu Xinglan looked at Yi Zhen's changing expression, and even felt a little eager to try. He always felt that he was thinking about something dangerous.
Especially the way he stared at Chen Rui made Chu Xinglan have a bad feeling.
He quickly spoke out in time to interrupt Yizhen's dangerous thoughts.
"Well, Chen Rui, this is just a special case, you know."
Yizhen looked at him in confusion, his eyes full of desire for advice.
Chu Xinglan swallowed his saliva, he really guessed it right. He could even imagine the scene that if he didn't dissuade Yi Zhen from the idea, then when the people from Hanshan Temple went out and saw someone trying to commit suicide, they would scold him without thinking twice and send him to reincarnation quickly.
By then, I’m afraid that even Zen Master Wuwei will come to me in person and ask me for an explanation.
He quickly explained: "Although I don't know much about Chen Rui, I can clearly see that he must have been oppressed for a long time."
"If I'm not mistaken, he was at the foot of the snowy mountain to protect that guy named Tang Lin. They are from the same family."
"The opponent's strength was obviously lower than his, but he did not treat him as a bodyguard. Moreover, when others insulted Chen Rui, he disagreed, but for various reasons, he did not refute in the end."
Yizhen thought about Chu Xinglan's words and nodded in agreement.
That Tang Lin looked like he was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and he had just been promoted not long ago. His aura was still not very stable.
When Chen Rui said that they were daydreaming, Tang Lin was not the first to refute. Later, when others said something unpleasant, his face also looked unhappy.
Chu Xinglan continued, "Chen Rui is very capable. Judging from the brief contact we just had, his cultivation is very solid, and he has a strong murderous aura, which shows that he has been carrying out very dangerous missions for many years."
"Besides, he doesn't know me. I'm not bragging. As long as you are not a marginal figure in the sect, there should be no one who doesn't know me."
Yizhen looked at his arrogant look, chuckled, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Chu Xinglan, a guy who looks like he doesn't care about anything and is even a little naughty, but it is undeniable that his observation skills are too careful and sharp.
When it comes to talking to Chen Rui, the amount of words he has said and the amount of time he has spent with him are probably more than Chu Xinglan's, but he didn't notice many of the things Chu Xinglan saw.
He was not familiar with Chu Xinglan, or rather, he only knew of the other person's existence before.
This time when they met on the snowy plain and formed a team afterwards, he had always been adhering to the tacit understanding of the three families' alliance and walked with him.
Yizhen was so young, yet he could sit on the position of a Buddhist disciple of the three major sects. He was proud of himself. In the past, he only had his eyes on people like Chen Xiu and Yanran.
But this time, he really recognized Chu Xinglan's strength and believed that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
It’s like in the past I always heard about this person from other people’s mouths, and it was always one-sided, just like the producer.
But only after real contact can you know this person's personal charm and clearly recognize that this is a lively person with infinite vitality.
Chu Xinglan didn't mind not hearing his response, but instead organized his words before continuing his explanation.
"Chen Rui, it must be his past experiences and the environment he faced that made him accustomed to accepting everything and not daring to resist."
"Even though he is very powerful now, he will subconsciously retreat when encountering problems."
"But this also proves that what he wants to do most is to resist."
Yizhen nodded, understanding that this was Chu Xinglan explaining to him why Chen Rui suddenly became a different person when he shouted "I am not".
Although Yizhen still couldn't understand it deeply, he felt that what Chu Xinglan said was right.
People only want what they cannot get the most, and monks are no exception.
"So, all those things you said before, and your bad attitude, were just to force him to resist?"
"How can you be sure that he will, and not return to his previous state after we leave?"
"You know, before that, he had no desire to survive."
Chu Xinglan suddenly put his arms around his shoulders and leaned his upper body against him.
The sudden shortening of the distance made Yizhen instantly uncomfortable, and he even forgot the question he had just asked.
I subconsciously wanted to struggle, but I was a little hesitant. My mind was full of thoughts: He treats me like a friend, so would it be bad if I pushed him away?
Chu Xinglan was just doing it subconsciously and didn't care about his expression at all, with his tone rising slightly.
"When I first started talking to him, when he looked at me, I clearly saw the yearning in his eyes."
"He envies me. He wants to be like me."
"Although my words were a bit harsh, I was showing him goodwill at the beginning, and he felt it."
"So when he clearly realized that it was his attitude that pushed me away and distanced me from him, he wanted to make amends."
"The panic and frustration in that moment will directly break his habit, making him unable to think and do what he wants to do most."
"He took the first step, which is the most difficult one. After that, nothing can stop him."
