The Man's Word

"Then why didn't you strike when the Headmaster was still alive? Second Brother was right, you were no match for the Headmaster and Youngest Uncle. You're cowards, no better than pathetic dogs."

Ning Que stared at the Drunkard and said. His words were simple, but the simple words contained three edgy points, each stabbing the Drunkward like a knife, or like painful face-slappings.

The Drunkard's expression remained still, and he said, "You will realize that honor and shame actually mean nothing if you reach a certain realm someday."

"Then what else is meaningful?"

"Eternity is the one and only meaning or goal of life."

The Drunkard looked into the blue sky and said, "To reach the destination and realize the goal, and to fulfill the meaning of life, we shall pay any price even if we have to bend like a dog. You should thank God that it was me rather than the Butcher that showed up outside Chang'an City today, or no one knows what could happen."
