If one were to ask why Gu Qingfeng was acting so timidly, worrying about personal gains and losses, then …
The answer was very simple. It was because of little Jin Er.
That's right.
It was little Jin Er.
Ever since the end of the Ancient Era and the beginning of the Modern Era, Gu Qingfeng had been reborn in the mortal world. When he saw little Jin Er for the first time, he had a very special feeling in his heart.
This feeling was indescribable. It wasn't a kind of familial affection by blood, nor was it a love of love. It wasn't a care, nor was it a care.
It was more like a kind of hope.
He hoped that little Jin Er would always be obedient, cute, innocent, carefree, and free.
Rather than calling it hope, it was more like a kind of sustenance.
A kind of sustenance in the mind, in the heart, and also in the soul.
Just like how Gu Qingfeng knew that he might not be able to live freely in this lifetime, so he entrusted this freedom to little Jin Er.
Perhaps this was the case.
Gu Qingfeng didn't know. He didn't even know why he had this kind of hope when he saw little Jin Er. The only thing he knew was that as long as little Jin Er could live freely, he would pay any price.
This was the most sincere feeling in the depths of his heart.
In the past.
Gu Qingfeng had thought that little Jin Er was only related to the Daoless Era.
Later, he learned that little Jin Er was not only related to the Daoless Era, but also to the Original Sin and Falsehood.
When he saw little Jin Er again in the Lingluo Territory, Gu Qingfeng discovered that little Jin Er's existence was much more complicated than he had imagined. It was so complicated that he even suspected that little Jin Er was not only the Daoless Era's bane, but also the true master that the Original Sin recorded in the Book of Destiny had been searching for. And this feeling was very strong when he saw little Jin Er in the Lingluo Territory, especially when little Jin Er asked if the heavens and earth could tolerate her.
This was also the reason why Gu Qingfeng was worried about personal gains and losses.
In the past, he was a loner, indifferent to life and death. He had no desires, so he never considered the consequences of his actions.
But things were different now.
Although Gu Qingfeng was still a loner, he didn't care about life or death, and he didn't have any desires, he had a promise in his heart. It was a promise to little Jin Er, and also a promise to freedom. He didn't want little Jin Er to be controlled by fate. He only wanted little Jin Er to live freely and without worries.
Therefore, nothing could happen to Gu Qingfeng.
With this promise, Gu Qingfeng could no longer act as recklessly as before. He had to consider the consequences first.
"Little Guy Gu, this old monk doesn't know who or what caused this change in your mentality, but … this old monk wants to say that no matter who or what, you can't trust everything. Because everything and everyone you meet could be a trap set for you by someone else. Especially Ancient One Wuming, that woman has always been an expert in chess!"
Monk Daxing said solemnly, "You are a variable in the Original Sin, after all. You will affect the future situation. Ancient One Wuming, that woman, will definitely not leave you alone. This old monk even suspects that she may have set up a trap long ago, and you have fallen into it too. You just don't know it."
Gu Qingfeng glanced at Monk Daxing and didn't say anything. He knew and understood what Monk Daxing meant.
Actually.
He had also suspected the existence of Little Jin Er.
He suspected that Little Jin Er was a chess piece set up by Ancient One Wuming. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. Gu Qingfeng wasn't sure. Maybe Little Jin Er, himself and Monk Daxing were all chess pieces set up by Ancient One Wuming. It was just that no one knew.
"If you really fell into Ancient One Wuming's trap and your state of mind was affected and changed, you will never be able to continue on the path of the Original Sin."
Gu Qingfeng didn't understand and asked, "Why?"
"This old monk wants to ask you, you want to get rid of the Original Sin, right?"
Gu Qingfeng nodded, then shook his head.
Monk Daxing was confused and asked, "What do you mean? You don't want to get rid of the Original Sin? "
"To tell you the truth, I originally wanted to get rid of the Original Sin, but then …" Gu Qingfeng sighed and said, "I don't know if I want to get rid of the Original Sin or become one."
Indeed.
In the past, Gu Qingfeng had made up his mind to get rid of the Original Sin. However, after seeing Little Jin Er, especially after suspecting that Little Jin Er could become the true owner of the Original Sin, Gu Qingfeng hesitated.
In his opinion, if the Original Sin had to find a true owner, Gu Qingfeng would rather it be himself than Little Jin Er. Just like how he would rather fate control him than Little Jin Er.
"Looks like that Ancient One Wuming girl's influence on you is really big. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeves!" Monk Daxing rubbed his bald head and said thoughtfully, "What does Ancient One Wuming mean? Isn't she affecting your state of mind to stop you from seeking the Original Sin? No! No, she's affecting your state of mind not to stop you from seeking the Original Sin, but to stop you from getting rid of it. In other words, she wants you to become the true owner of the Original Sin? What's going on? Why is it different from what this old monk thought? "
"How is it different?"
"No! It's nothing … "
Monk Daxing seemed to be hiding something.
"Daxing, why do I feel like you really want me to become the true owner of the Original Sin?"
"Don't tell me you don't want to?" Just as he finished speaking, Mad Monk Daxing quickly changed his words and said, "No! No! This old monk doesn't mean that. This old monk doesn't want you to become the true owner of the Original Sin. This old monk just wants you to get rid of the Original Sin. "
"Is that so?"
Gu Qingfeng smiled but didn't say anything.
Even though Monk Daxing denied it, Gu Qingfeng could tell that this old monk definitely wanted him to become the true owner of the Original Sin. Moreover, this old monk had lured him here. It was most likely because of this. Gu Qingfeng even suspected that something had happened in the Little Zen Realm and he had fallen into the ancient black hole.
Even if all of this was a coincidence, Monk Daxing probably knew about it beforehand. This old monk was just pretending not to know.
"Daxing, let me ask you something. Do you want me to become the true owner of the Original Sin?"
Monk Daxing didn't even think and shook his head. "Of course not."
"Why?"
"What do you mean why? Don't you want to get rid of the Original Sin?"
"But now I don't want to get rid of the Original Sin. On the contrary, I want to become the true owner of the Original Sin."
"Really?"
"Of course it's real."
Monk Daxing stared into Gu Qingfeng's eyes for a while, as if trying to discern the truth. Then he grinned. "Little Guy Gu, don't play with this old monk. This old monk won't fall for it. And this old monk can tell you very responsibly that as a friend, this old monk doesn't want you to become the true owner of the Original Sin. Really!"
