Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

Yan Wenmo admitted that the moment Gu Hansheng pressed her shoulders and made her unable to move, her determination to pursue the Dao began to waver. Yan Wenmo knew that this wavering was due to a certain subversion of her understanding, her thoughts, and her views.

Perhaps, the man in green was not wrong, perhaps, mortals were asking too much, perhaps, her cognition was wrong from the beginning, or perhaps, she was too subjective.

Regardless of the reason, her faith in the Tao was indeed shaken by this. This was not a good thing for her? !

There was no other way, she could only persuade herself, whispering silently in her heart:

"Wise men seek strength within themselves, fools seek strength outside themselves. Other people's decisions are their own judgments and choices, and cannot be the reason for you to waver in your own heart. You cannot think that your cognition is wrong just because someone goes against your point of view."

Yan Wenmo subconsciously took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down his inexplicable disgust, then slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Hansheng's interested eyes, looking at her with a smile.

His eyes clearly told her, I thought your faith was so firm? It turns out that your faith can be easily shaken.

Yan Wenmo had to admit that she was just an ordinary person. For ordinary people, wavering and giving up were the norm. Persistence was something that required great courage and stubbornness, or even lonely courage.

She is not a particularly steadfast person, so her wavering did not cause her to lose confidence. Instead, she felt that wavering would sometimes lead to new perspectives.

But no matter how to say it, this situation is embarrassing after all, so Yan Wenmo poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip as if to cover up.

Seeing that she pretended not to care, Gu Hansheng smiled and said in a rather intriguing way:

"If your heart is not firm, this... is not a good thing?!"

Like a warning, like a reminder, Yan Wenmo did not answer. Instead, Ouyang Xian, who came over to pour tea, looked at Yan Wenmo and Gu Hansheng in surprise, and asked with gossip:

"Not firm?! Whose Dao heart is not firm?! Thirteen, is it your Dao heart that is not firm?!"

Yan Wenmo glanced at him unhappily, with an expression that said if you know the answer, don't ask any more questions. Ouyang Xian looked at Yan Wenmo with a teasing look as if he had discovered some new world, and couldn't help but teasing:

"Since your Dao heart is not firm, would you like me to teach you a few methods to stabilize your Dao heart?!"

As he spoke, he still had a smug look on his face and looked at Yan Wenmo provocatively, as if he was waiting for Yan Wenmo to beg him.

Yan Wenmo looked at him speechlessly and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Seeing Ouyang Xian saying that Yan Wenmo's mind was unstable, Jiang Wenbai couldn't help but come over and asked with concern:

"Why are you suddenly uneasy?! Is it because of what happened just now?! They all volunteered, why are you so upset about it?!"

As soon as Jiang Wenbai finished speaking, Xuanyuan Jing agreed with him:

"Yes, Thirteen, they wanted to go there on their own initiative. You didn't force them to go. You didn't try to stop them, but they insisted on going. So, it's not your fault."

Yan Wenmo rubbed her temples because of the headache. She felt warmed by the comfort from several people, but also felt a little amused. She smiled and shook her head. She didn't want to say anything, but when she saw the serious expressions of those people, she felt the need to explain.

She subconsciously hesitated for a while before trying to explain:

"What I care about is not that they went to the formation to die, but another thing..."

"Another one?!"

Ouyang Xian looked at her in surprise and couldn't help asking:

"That one thing?! I don't think there's anything wrong with it?!"

Xuanyuan Jing pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement:

"Yeah?! I don't think it's weird?!"

Jiang Wenbai was different from the other two who were at a loss. He looked at Yan Wenmo with a complicated expression and couldn't help but probe:

"That person knew that the formation would kill them, but he still let them go?! You think he shouldn't have done that?!"

Although he didn't quite understand why Jiang Wenbai said that, Yan Wenmo still nodded and couldn't help asking:

"What do you think is the main purpose of our practice?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ouyang Xian spoke with great interest:

"Master said that the purpose of our practice is to save the common people and protect the most important people."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Xuanyuan Jing and smiled gently.

Being stared at by him, Xuanyuan Jing lowered her head shyly, then secretly glanced at Ouyang Xian and said shyly:

"It is to save more people and help more people so that they no longer suffer from illness. It would be great if I could help my fellow brothers and those in need."

Jiang Wenbai pondered for a moment, looked at Yan Wenmo, and asked:

"What about you?! What is the purpose of your practice?!"

When Yan Wenmo heard this, he was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then he said with certainty:

“I want to protect those who need protection, and I also hope that when others need help and shelter, I will not be powerless or even stand by and watch.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wenbai hesitated for a moment, looked at Yan Wenmo and said:

"I don't have such a noble goal. I just hope that the person I like can get what she wants. I hope that I can protect her and prevent her from getting hurt again."

After several people finished speaking, Ouyang Xian habitually looked at Gu Hansheng who had been silent, and couldn't help asking:

"What about you?! What is the purpose of your practice?!"

Gu Hansheng looked at Yan Wenmo with a complicated expression. He was silent for a long time, but could not say anything.

Once upon a time, he also wanted to protect the people, once upon a time, he also wanted to save the world, once upon a time, he also expressed with great passion that as long as he was around, there would be no more injustice in the world.

But that man's death was like a loud slap in the face, knocking him into the dust, shattering him completely, and sealing him in a sea of ​​fire.

Those realities seemed to mock him, telling him clearly that his previous pursuits were nothing but his own foolish dreams.

If he couldn't even protect the people who were important to him, what was the use of all the Taoist methods he had learned and the so-called people he was protecting? !

In the end, wasn't she unable to protect even one person? ! In the end, weren't those people the ones who forced her to death? ! In the end, weren't the people she was protecting betrayed by her? !

The so-called Tao heart, the so-called pursuit, the so-called faith, are nothing but children's games, nothing but a fleeting dream, nothing but the illusion of the naive.

When reality cruelly unveils the illusion, when the bloody true face is revealed before people.

They will only collapse, only despair, and only feel that the whole world has abandoned them.

Only then will they understand how stupid and annoying they were.

Gu Hansheng didn't answer. Ouyang Xian wanted to ask more, but Jiang Wenbai pulled his clothes and he shook his head secretly.

Although he didn't understand why his junior brother stopped him, Ouyang Xian gave up asking further questions. Instead, he looked at Yan Wenmo and asked curiously:

"By the way, what does your question about why you practice Taoism have to do with your unstable Taoism mind just now?! Isn't it just that he has a bunch of people chasing him?! What's the big deal?!"

Seeing his surprised expression, Yan Wenmo could not help but said speechlessly:

"You only saw a group of people chasing him?! You didn't see anything else?!"

Ouyang Xian was even more confused. He subconsciously thought about it and then said with certainty:

"Yeah, what else?! He just let someone break into your formation, what's the big deal?!"

Sometimes, people's IQs are indeed different. For example, Jiang Wenbai and Gu Hansheng see two completely different sides of the same scene.

Therefore, Jiang Wenbai couldn't help but ask:

"You mean, he is a cultivator who can use his cultivation to help others, but he took advantage of the greed of mortals and sent them to their deaths. Did this incident shake your faith in Taoism?! Do you think cultivators should help mortals instead of taking advantage of them?!"
