Section 1549: Continuing the Previous Relationship

To gain something is to lose something else.

At the same point in time, when you grasp certain things, you will inevitably lose certain others. Territory and beauty are rarely both attainable.

Shen Yue deeply understood this principle, and mused, "Duan Siping, because of his desire for power, lost his beloved. Most likely, he believes this is retribution, a punishment from the immortals for not keeping promises." Looking at Xiao Chu, Shen Yue continued, "But this is merely a matter of causation and consequences coming together."

Xiao Chu indifferently replied, "Indeed, many things are simply a matter of causation and association. Humans attribute it to fate, yet also seek to change fate to make amends."

Shen Yue, hearing the hint in his words, asked, "Will Qinsi make an exception and allow Duan Siping to change his fate?"

Reshaping destiny and achieving immortality are eternal themes for humans.
