Li Qiu and the Wine Daoist were both from the Seventh Wilderness. However, when Li Qiu betrayed the Seventh Wilderness and joined the Seventh Realm, the Wine Daoist had only just broken through to the Celestial Realm, so they did not have much interaction.
Li Qiu smiled when he heard Wine Daoist's words. He then took a sip of wine and spoke.
"In this world, you can't say that what you see is real. Ears can lie, sometimes eyes can lie, and even the heart can lie. As such, if you want to know the truth of things in this world, the best way is not to jump to conclusions."
Li Qiu said to himself. The Wine Daoist was slightly startled when he heard that. He raised his cup and took a sip of wine before speaking softly.
"You were once from the Seventh Wilderness. Have you ever believed in the Heavenly Dao?"
Li Qiu had once been an expert from the Seventh Wilderness. Had he ever believed that the Seventh Wilderness Will Of The Heavenly Way? Li Qiu laughed self-deprecatingly when he heard that.
"Of course. I used to be just like you, maybe even better than you. Back then, I was the Seventh Wasteland's lackey, his dog. If he wanted me to bite someone, I'd definitely bite that person," said the Seventh Wasteland.
Li Qiu drank another mouthful of wine. Seeing this, the Wine Daoist continued to ask, "When did you stop believing in the Heavenly Dao?"
The Wine Daoist was very curious as to what had made Li Qiu betray the Seventh Wilderness and join the Seventh Realm. When did Li Qiu stop believing in the Seventh Wilderness Will Of The Heavenly Way?
Li Qiu did not give an answer to the Wine Daoist's question. He only said calmly, "Let's not talk about the past."
Clearly, he did not want to think about the past. Speaking to there, Li Qiu suddenly raised his head and looked at the Wine Daoist. His gaze became serious.
"Black and white, right and wrong in this world can never be determined with just a few words. Many truths are not known by people. If you want to know what you should choose, you must first look at it with your heart and comprehend this world. There is no need to rush to make a decision. Sometimes, you should let yourself relax and settle down. Perhaps when the time comes, you will naturally make a decision."
"There's no need to force yourself to make a decision on certain matters. It might be better to let nature take its course."
With that, Li Qiu finished the last bowl of wine in one gulp, then stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Li Qiu's footsteps paused slightly. Then, without turning his head, he said faintly, "When you don't know where to go and how to choose, you might as well calm your heart and relax. Since you're already here, take things as they come. There's no need to rush. Many things will naturally have their answers when the time comes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qiu's figure vanished on the spot. When the Wine Daoist heard his words, he coldly sat in the pavilion in the courtyard as he constantly pondered over Li Qiu's words.
"Since we're already here, let's just take things as they come …" After a long while, a glint of understanding flashed across Daoist Wine's eyes as he muttered softly.
For the past few days, the Wine Daoist had been thinking whether he should believe Xiao Chen's words and join the Seventh Realm or believe that the Seventh Wilderness Will Of The Heavenly Way return to the Seventh Wilderness.
It was due to this hesitation, in addition to the fact that the Wine Daoist had been constantly forcing himself to make a choice, that he had been feeling very depressed for the past few days.
But after hearing Li Qiu's words today, the Wine Daoist seemed to have thought it through.
That's right. Since he couldn't make up his mind, why should he force himself? Since he didn't know what to choose, he might as well let nature take its course and calm his heart first.
After all, even if the Wine Daoist stayed in the Seventh Realm, he wouldn't join the Seventh Realm, so even if he wanted to leave, no one in the Seventh Realm would stop him.
Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. Li Qiu's meaning was very simple. Since he couldn't figure it out, there was no need to think about it. Everything would be left to time. After he calmed down and settled down, perhaps there would be an answer.
Li Qiu didn't tell the Wine Daoist that it was the same when he joined the Seventh Realm. He stayed in the Seventh Realm for a few years before he decided to join.
In the beginning, Li Qiu was just like the Wine Daoist. He didn't know how to choose and was very distressed every day. But as time passed, as his heart slowly calmed down, many things weren't so irritating anymore.
After a conversation with Li Qiu, the Wine Daoist seemed to have an answer in his heart and knew how he should choose.
After a night of silence, early the next morning, Xiao Chen came to the Wine Daoist's courtyard as usual. He didn't ask what the Wine Daoist and Li Qiu talked about last night. After all, Xiao Chen wasn't a nosy person.
However, from the time he spent with the Wine Daoist today, the Wine Daoist today was very different from a few days ago. He was much more cheerful than before and his state of mind seemed to have changed a little.
Xiao Chen keenly sensed the subtle changes in the Wine Daoist, but he didn't point it out. After all, it was a good thing.
He chatted with the Wine Daoist in the courtyard. Of course, they talked about some irrelevant things. The two of them consciously kept quiet about the Seventh Wilderness and the Seventh Realm.
Just as the two of them were chatting, a servant suddenly rushed into the courtyard and bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen.
"Heir, the Realm Lord has summoned you to the main palace."
Hearing that Luo Li had summoned him, Xiao Chen didn't think too much about it. He nodded and then said to the Wine Daoist, "Old drunkard, I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, go." The Wine Daoist nodded.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen turned to leave. However, just as Xiao Chen was about to walk out of the courtyard, the Wine Daoist suddenly called out to Xiao Chen.
"By the way, Xiao Chen, get me two jugs of wine. My Space Ring is gone and so is my wine."
When he was imprisoned by the Seventh Wilderness' Will Of The Heavenly Way, the Wine Daoist's Space Ring had been taken away. It could be said that he had nothing on him now.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded without hesitation. "Okay, I'll get Hong Xiu to send it over later."
Knowing that the Wine Daoist loved to drink, Xiao Chen nodded without hesitation. He then left the cave residence and hurried to the main palace.
Xiao Chen wasn't unhappy that Luo Li had summoned him. After all, after this incident, Xiao Chen had completely approved of the Seventh Realm. Therefore, if Luo Li had any tasks for him, Xiao Chen wouldn't refuse.
After all, as the Heir of the Seventh Realm, Xiao Chen naturally had the obligation to contribute to the Seventh Realm. It was impossible to say that he only wanted to take advantage of others without paying a price. At the same time, Xiao Chen wasn't that kind of person. If you treat me well, I'll treat you well. That was Xiao Chen's personality.
