The Yes Theory
In Xia Fei's eyes, Moon Song had always been a very mysterious lady. She had never told anyone about her past. Girls were usually very family-oriented and liked to stay by their parents' side. Even Madman Chen Dongs would return home once every year and a half, but Moon Song had never gone home ever since she came to the training camp. It was as if she was enjoying her life there.
The handsome boy from the training camp, Bai Ye, was very interested in Moon Song. His eyes were always full of ambiguity when he looked at her, but Moon Song never paid him any attention. Anyone could tell that the two of them had known each other for a long time, but every time Moon Song saw Bai Ye, it was as if she had met an enemy.
There were countless such incidents. Xia Fei and Chen Dong had become very familiar with each other after two years. Chen Dong's father had even sent Xia Fei an email, telling him that he was glad that Chen Dong had a friend like him, but Moon Song was still the same carefree girl. Xia Fei did not know much about her other than the fact that she liked to eat cucumbers.
Therefore, Xia Fei could not help but be shocked when Moon Song blurted out that she already knew about the dangers of the Heart of Spirit. Slaughtershadow hid the manual about the Heart of Spirit in his secret room, which showed how much importance he placed on it. The Adjudicator Union probably knew about it, too. After all, they were very powerful, so why did Moon Song know about it but did not say anything about it?
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. "Miss Moon, why didn't you say anything about the dangers of this training method if you knew about it? Are you happy that we didn't go down the wrong path? "
Xia Fei's words were not pleasant to the ear, and he even seemed to be blaming Moon Song. Moon Song's pretty face instantly turned as white as snow, and her two eyes seemed to be glistening with tears as if she had been greatly wronged.
Xia Fei suddenly regretted being so harsh with his words. Moon Song was not a scheming woman, and Xia Fei knew that very well. However, due to his habitual thinking, Xia Fei would never think too highly of a person. He would always speculate about others with the worst of intentions, which was why he often blurted out things that he should not have said.
Moon Song pursed her lips and looked to the side in disappointment. She said in a sobbing voice, Xia Fei, I didn't think you would think of me like that.
Xia Fei's heart sank. Sh * t. It sounds like Moon Song is really angry. There's even a hint of despair in her voice.
"Since that's the case, I have nothing to say. I'm just that bad! I hope that all of you are dead! "Moon Song could no longer hold back her rage.
After saying that, Moon Song got up and quickly fled the area, leaving Chen Dong and Xia Fei looking at each other. Not long after, there was the sound of soft sobbing in the distance, filled with grievance.
"Why are you looking at me? It's not like I made her cry. If this tigress wants to coax you, I don't want to stay with her for even a second longer. "Chen Dong helplessly spread his hands and said.
Chen Dong nodded. No matter what, it was never good to make a girl cry. Chen Dong was very afraid of Moon Song, and he did not know how to comfort anyone. If he was asked to fight, Chen Dong would definitely be the first to do so, but he did not have any other tricks up his sleeve, especially when it came to women. It was always women who bullied him.
"Don't stay in the training room all the time. It's not good for your body. I don't want to see you become a completely different person one day," Xia Fei said earnestly.
Chen Dong patted his head. "I've long noticed that something was wrong, but I just can't help but want to go to the training room. Do you know that I've already reached the Advanced Star River rank in the past two years? I'm only a step away from the Legendary rank. I don't think I can stop if you ask me to."
All the ranks before the Legendary rank were named after stars, such as the Star River rank, Star Domain rank, and so on. However, when a warrior reached the Legendary rank, it meant that they had the strength to do something earth-shattering and become an eternal legend. That was why only those who had reached the Legendary rank could be considered the elite of all warriors.
Chen Dong was a battle maniac and a cultivation maniac. There was nothing else in his life aside from cultivation and combat. Even Xia Fei did not believe that Chen Dong would really give up on the chance to reach a higher rank if he were to stop now that he was about to reach the Legendary rank.
Xia Fei smiled. "Actually, there's more than one way to advance. Aside from training nonstop in the training room, there are many other ways."
Chen Dong carefully considered Xia Fei's words before saying, "Are you saying that I'm relying too much on the training room?"
"That's right." Xia Fei replied, "Look at all the seniors who have succeeded since ancient times. How many of them succeeded by spending a year in a training room? If a person wants to achieve what others can't, aside from their own hard work, they'll also need to have opportunities."
"For someone like you who stays in a small training room all day, opportunities won't come looking for you. In fact, going to other places to take a look and interact with different experts is also a good way to train. What's more wonderful is that staying in the training room today and tomorrow will not make any difference. However, if you go out, there might be accidents happening at any moment. It might be a disaster, but it might also be a surprise."
Chen Dong looked like he had just been enlightened. Xia Fei's words had deeply motivated him. Actually, luck was not that easy to come by, but if he never stepped out of the house, there would never be a chance. What Xia Fei said was just to get Chen Dong to stay away from the training room, or at least not to rely too much on it.
"If someone invited you to a banquet, would you go?" Xia Fei asked.
"Of course not. I still need to cultivate. Besides, I don't like those fake social events." Chen Dong shook his head.
Xia Fei laughed. "Fine. You didn't go to the banquet. There's a legendary apex expert there. You could have gotten plenty of combat experience from him, but you missed it."
Chen Dong's mouth was wide open in shock. "It's not as incredible as you make it out to be. Apex experts aren't street vendors. They won't just show up at any time."
Xia Fei replied, "You didn't even go, so how could you know what happened? From the moment you rejected it, you've already lost all your chances. "
Chen Dong was silent for a while. The future was interesting precisely because of its unpredictability. "No" was a very simple word, but once it was said, it was equivalent to rejecting the future and cutting off all the variables that could lead to it.
Some people always liked to protect themselves in a snail-like shell, refusing everything that they could not predict. Similarly, they would also lose all opportunities.
Xia Fei's theory was actually the very popular 'yes' theory back on Earth. If a person wanted their life to be more colorful and have more opportunities, they would have to keep saying 'yes' to others because they would never know what would happen in the future.
A roommate asked if you were willing to accompany him to buy something, but you rejected him because you wanted to surf the internet. A few days later, he brought back a beautiful lady, the same one he met that day while shopping. He got a lady he loved, but all you got was a third-rate, uncensored movie. Almost everyone had encountered something like this before, and the reason was none other than saying 'no'.
"I'll ask you again. I'm inviting you to a banquet, but neither you nor I know what will happen there or who you'll meet. Are you willing to go?" Xia Fei asked.
Chen Dong nodded. "I don't like socializing, but after hearing what you just said, I suddenly have a desire to go, as if I'll miss out on something if I don't go."
Xia Fei patted Chen Dong on the shoulder and stood up. "You finally understand. Although you're only a step away from the Legendary rank, you should know that there will be many points like this in your life. Beyond the Legendary rank, there's still the Eternal rank. Are you going to stay in the training room for the rest of your life?"
Chen Dong slapped his head hard. "I'm too stupid, staying in the training room for two years. I've missed out on many opportunities to talk to super experts during this time."
Xia Fei turned around to leave. "It's not too late for you to understand now. I'll go see Moon Song. Let's have dinner together tonight; it's my treat."
Chen Dong agreed, so Xia Fei got up and went to Moon Song's dormitory.
The door to the dormitory was not locked, and Moon Song was crying so loudly that it could be described as wailing. Xia Fei did not understand why she was so heartbroken. It was just that her tone was a little harsh when she spoke to him, so why was she unable to bear it as a friend?
Xia Fei thought that it might be because Moon Song was a girl, which was why her mental endurance was weaker. Or perhaps he had unintentionally touched a nerve in her, causing her to recall some unhappy memories.
* Bang! Bang! Bang! *
Xia Fei knocked on the door three times, and the crying stopped. What followed was a hustle and bustle as if someone was rummaging through the room. He had no idea what Moon Song was doing inside. He then heard the sound of the faucet turning on. It seemed that Moon Song did not want Xia Fei to see her crying, so she went to put on her makeup.
After a good ten minutes, Moon Song casually said, "Come in," and opened the door to let Xia Fei in.
Xia Fei stared at Moon Song's face for a few seconds. Though she had put on her makeup, the tear stains at the corners of her eyes were not completely covered, and there were still two faint traces of tears. She had also changed her clothes from a purple dress to a translucent white chiffon, revealing her graceful figure.
"Have a seat." Moon Song pointed to the sofa.
Xia Fei did not stand on ceremony and took a seat in the living room. Moon Song's room was very strange. It could be said that it was clean, but there were still some leftovers from snacks on the table, and it could be said that it was not tidy either.
Xia Fei revealed a harmless smile. "Moon Song, I didn't mean it. Don't take it to heart if I did anything wrong."
Moon Song looked out the window thoughtfully, stubbornly saying, "I didn't take it to heart. I don't care what you said."
