Special War God

Xu Qin waved behind her, and a maid came over immediately. She ordered, "It looks like Master Xia hasn't eaten enough yet, send all the snacks on my table to Master Xia!"

Her action simply shocked everyone in the audience. Even Xu Qian didn't understand why her sister wanted to show such kindness to this rough man!

Obviously, if it was just out of courtesy, they could have asked the maid to serve Xia Zhongnan another portion of dessert, and the governor's mansion would not care about such a small matter. However, directly taking the dessert on his table and giving it to Xia Zhongnan was far more meaningful than serving a new portion!

If many people didn't know that Xu Qin had been married for a long time, I'm afraid many people would have fantasized about it...

Xia Zhongnan was surprised. He looked at Xu Qin and found that Xu Qin was also looking at him. Their eyes met. Xu Qin smiled and nodded. He also smiled back in response, thanking Xu Qin for her kindness. At this time, a young man in the middle of the venue said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue the topic we didn't finish just now. Don't let irrelevant people disturb everyone's mood to attend the party."

Some people around him expressed their agreement, obviously not liking that Xia Zhongnan was the center of attention. Another young man stood up and said, "It was my turn to speak. Now I will continue to talk about what I think the 'meaning of life' is. I think the meaning of life is to pursue your own goals as you please, such as the level of cultivation, power, wealth and beauty."

The crowd immediately echoed the young man, praising him for his excellent speech. He sat down with a proud look on his face amid the praises of the crowd. Then, it was the turn of a young man sitting next to him to speak.

Xia Zhongnan now understood what the so-called "Chifang Junjie Meeting" was. People in this world are keen on "sitting and discussing the Tao". Those at a higher level discuss the understanding or interpretation of cultivation and the Tao of Heaven, which is the so-called "Tao Conference". However, it requires at least one cultivator who has reached the "Transformation Realm" to host it in order to be called a true "Tao Conference".

However, there are only young people here, how many of them can have a deep understanding of "Heaven's Way" and explain it clearly? Therefore, they chose to raise a topic and let everyone express their views and experiences on the topic. This can also be regarded as a way of socializing. Some people use this to become famous, some people make friends with similar interests, and even many young men and women fall in love at first sight at such conferences and eventually become lovers or husbands and wives.

Apparently, their topic today was about "the meaning of life". But Xia Zhongnan had no interest in these things at all. In his opinion, these were nothing more than children's house games, which was a waste of life.

After filling his stomach and drinking enough tea, Xia Zhongnan began to doze off with his eyes half closed. Afterwards, several other speakers' speeches were praised by everyone. Xu Qin stole a glance at Xia Zhongnan several times because she found that several people's speeches were very good, and she wanted to see if this country bumpkin Xia Zhongnan would be touched by others' speeches.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhongnan seemed to be sleeping all the time and didn't seem to be listening to what others were saying. This made Xu Qin furious and he shouted, "Xia Zhongnan!"

This voice attracted everyone's attention again, and the scene fell into a brief silence. Xia Zhongnan seemed to hear someone calling his name in a half-awake state. He opened his eyes and saw everyone staring at him, so he said awkwardly, "Excuse me, did someone call me just now?"

Gu Xiu Zhang really didn't want to speak. He felt that he had only just realized that Xia Zhongnan was probably a weird person. Xu Qin asked angrily, "Xia Zhongnan, let me ask you, what do you think the meaning of life is?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "The meaning of life? Life itself actually has no meaning!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately laughed at by everyone.

Among the people present, the young man who spoke first laughed and joked, "For people like you, life may really be meaningless. You sleep when you are full, and eat again when you wake up. Do you think the whole value of life is to eat and sleep? Then aren't you living almost like some kind of animal?" This sarcasm caused a burst of laughter, as if in this world, people would also make comparisons to raising pigs.

Xia Zhongnan ignored everyone's laughter. Instead, he turned to look in the direction of the two Xu sisters and said seriously, "Life itself has no inherent meaning. Instead of pondering its meaning every day, we should give it meaning ourselves. We can set a great goal for ourselves, so that every day we live will have meaning in order to achieve this goal; doing something that serves the goal will also have meaning. Life is endless, and the meaning of life will extend infinitely."

After that, Xia Zhongnan stopped talking, and the scene remained as quiet as before. His words seemed to touch everyone's heartstrings, and everyone was chewing on the deep meaning of this sentence.

Xu Qian stared at Xia Zhongnan intently. She didn't expect that this rough-looking man could speak such a profound and realistic truth. However, for Xu Qin, it was not surprising that Xia Zhongnan could say such a thing. She could understand why Xia Zhongnan didn't care about those people around him who looked down on him, but was more inclined to act casually.

This was the first time Xu Qin met Xia Zhongnan. If he had known him earlier, he might not have proposed organizing this event and inviting him to participate. The young man who tried to compare Xia Zhongnan to a pig spoke again: "You are Xia Friend, right? I am Hong Kongwen from Wenqing Villa. I would like to ask, how does Xia Friend give your own life a special meaning?"

Originally, Hong Kongwen should have been the most eye-catching person at this gathering of outstanding people, but Xia Zhongnan's few words seemed to have stolen his limelight, which made him unhappy, so he planned to find Xia Zhongnan's weakness and fight back.

Xia Zhongnan replied: "So you are from Wenqing Villa? I just happen to have something I need to ask the friends of Wenqing Villa. Since you are from there, please help me answer this question!"

Hearing that Xia Zhongnan wanted to ask him questions, Hong Kongwen seemed quite proud and said confidently: "Then Xia friend, feel free to ask. No matter what, I will answer everything I know."

Xia Zhongnan then asked, "Since you came from 'Wenqing Villa', you should know where emotions ultimately belong. But I still don't understand where emotions belong, so I really don't know how to give meaning to my life."

The cultivation method of Wenqing Villa is derived from "Taishang Wangqing", which emphasizes that practitioners should learn to forget emotions after experiencing emotions. Although everyone who walks out of the villa looks like a handsome and elegant gentleman, if a woman falls in love with them, she will eventually become a victim of the other party's pursuit of forgetfulness.

Hearing Xia Zhongnan's question, Hong Kongwen's face changed, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Because I don't understand where my emotions belong, I don't know what meaning I should give to my life?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly roared, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell on his back and fainted on the ground.
