The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

Seeing the puzzled look in Sha Ying's eyes, Chen Changsheng said, "If you don't understand, it means you haven't truly grown up yet."

"Many people want to grow up quickly when they are young."

"But when they grow up, they will hate this feeling."

"One of the reasons is, of course, the loss of the protection of the elders in the family."

"But another reason is that they have to face the elders who once cared for them."

"The issue of conscience and filial piety has always been a hurdle they find difficult to overcome."

Upon hearing this answer, Sha Ying asked in confusion, "Sir, of all virtues, filial piety is the most important. Isn't having a filial heart a good thing?"

"Being filial is certainly a good thing, but when faced with reality, it may not be a good thing."

"Imagine you are now a powerful ruler, and sitting at this table sharing the cake with you is the elder who loved you the most when you were a child."

"Then, when you make a decision, will you take his feelings into account?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, "If we really face this situation, I can only make it up to him afterward."

"Because I am in such a high position, my every move will affect many people."

"I cannot let down the people behind me because of my personal feelings for my children."

“Well said. If this elder has been incredibly kind to you, to put it bluntly, you wouldn’t be who you are today without him.”

"When faced with someone like this, can you still ignore his thoughts?"

Chen Changsheng added another condition, but Sha Ying was unable to give an immediate answer.

Seeing Sha Ying's hesitation, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Look, you also hesitate when faced with something like this."

"We are just talking on paper right now; the reality is a hundred times more complicated than it is now."

"If you encounter an extreme situation, I believe that with your temperament, you will definitely be able to cut through the mess quickly."

"But if you encounter a situation that is unclear, I believe you will definitely hesitate."

Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's assessment, Sha Ying retorted, "Sir, aren't you underestimating Sha Ying a bit?"

“I didn’t underestimate you, that’s a fact.”

"Do you have any evidence?"

Seeing that Sha Ying was determined to argue with him to the end, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "If you want evidence, I'll give it to you."

“A few days ago, I recommended that you go to the Heavenly Lotus Sect to learn the Heavenly Lotus Sacred Method.”

"Afterwards, you and Mo Bai discussed it and concluded that I deliberately gave you the opposite advice."

"What if I told you now that the Heavenly Lotus Holy Method is really helpful to you, and I strongly recommend that you learn it? What would you do then?"

"I......"

Sha Ying wanted to speak up in defense, but found himself at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "You see, I only put a little pressure on you, and your decision has already started to waver."

"If there really was an elder who had been incredibly kind to you in front of you, you probably wouldn't even have the courage to make a decision."

"You've rejected my suggestions multiple times, and you feel that this might betray my appreciation for you."

"You don't deny my suggestion, but you also feel that the Heavenly Lotus Holy Method is not quite suitable for you."

"If you speak frankly, you will not be able to discern whether the Heavenly Lotus Holy Method is truly useless to you."

"Going forward is not an option, retreating is not an option, stopping is not an option either; sometimes life is just so helpless."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Sha Ying thought for a moment and said, "Sir, can't I just choose a path and charge headlong into things?"

"of course can!"

Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "The road is under your feet; you can walk whichever way you want."

"Unless someone actually steps in to stop you, you are only entrapping yourselves in your own mess."

"But you're not the only one in this world."

"What do you mean?"

Sha Ying asked, puzzled. Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "When a person is immersed in their own world, they certainly won't think they've done anything wrong."

"Once you look at others, your regrets and flaws will be fully exposed."

"When you think that you can't have your cake and eat it too, there are always some bastards in this world who manage to have it all."

"Seeing them makes you uneasy, and jealousy and resentment arise from this emotion."

"So which way should I go?"

Chen Changsheng's words left Sha Ying somewhat bewildered.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide which path to take."

"The wisdom that our predecessors gave you is simply to prevent you from falling into the prison of your emotions."

Some say that you should not hesitate when faced with a choice, while others say that you should think twice before making a choice.

"If you think about it for yourself, you will find that there are many conflicting principles in the world."

Upon receiving this answer, Sha Ying pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Changsheng with a surprised expression.

Looking at Sha Ying's expression, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "That's right, all the principles in the world are meant to be used, not just talked about."

"The wisdom of the ancients is wonderful in that they rationalize their own behavior and stigmatize the behavior of others."

"When you find yourself troubled, you need to find a reason to comfort yourself."

Only then will your heart find peace.

After hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Sha Ying was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

"Sir's remarks have truly broadened Shadow's horizons."

"But what does this have to do with what you just said about growth?"

"If a person can't even soothe their own emotions, can they be considered truly grown up?"

"But how do we appease them in this situation?"

"The old saying, 'Even close brothers should keep clear accounts,' has already made this very clear."

Shadow Demon: "......"

"It's manageable between brothers, but what about between father and son..."

"You've probably heard the saying, 'There are no fathers and sons at the card table.'"

"This...this is all gambler's nonsense."

In response to Sha Ying's explanation, Chen Changsheng rested his chin on his hand and said, "I use a virtual world to divide the world, and everyone is placing bets at the table. What are we if not gamblers?"

Shadow Demon: "......"

"Those are just proverbs; worldly truths can't be..."

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to reconcile. I can't say who you are loyal to, but you should be quite clear about who you are filial to."

Before Sha Ying could finish speaking, Chen Changsheng interrupted him.

"You're absolutely right. The proverbs mentioned earlier are indeed inadequate; only the truly profound truths can be considered unsolvable."

"When someone says, 'It's hard to be both loyal and filial,' it's as if he can choose either 'loyalty' or 'filial piety.'"

"How to choose is entirely up to him. Wouldn't you say that's a kind of great wisdom?"

After listening to Chen Changsheng's words, Sha Ying picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

As for the taste of it, he couldn't taste it at all right now, because his mind was filled with Chen Changsheng's words.
