Chapter 784 - 92: Chi Xiao Sword, Come!_3
Chen Dingye suddenly laughed, sitting there with his back to the Ritual Eunuch.
"Are you referring to matters regarding Li Wanli, Tantai Xianming, and Yue Pengwu?"
Chen Dingye answered, "Gentlemen and saints might have regrets, but a king..." He lifted his head, as if seeing the past, seeing the Chen Country under his rule, Chen Fubi, Li Wanli, Tantai Xianming, Yue Pengwu, Xiao Wuliang, and himself.
Chen Dingye just quietly observed the illusion, his eyes devoid of any ripples, devoid of fear, devoid of nostalgia, and finally, also devoid of evasion and regret, and said:
"Only a king does not regret. Whatever is in the past is what this body has done, and even if there is a precipice ahead, I would still have my horse leap forward. Even if shattered to pieces, I want to die on the path of my own choosing."
"Immortality and longevity... heh..."
His eyes lowered, just as he had with the sword that had killed the magician who had bewitched him to make the Immortality Elixir with virgin boys and girls, he had cut off his own longing for a longer life, flinging his lifespan into the residual warmth of his heart’s flames, burning fiercely.
He had shaken off the influence of Tantai Xianming and faced the past where he had killed Li Wanli.
And so, he picked up his sword again and walked towards this world.
Chen Dingye put down his fishing rod, stood up and walked past the Ritual Eunuch. His voice was calm when he suddenly reached out and slapped the eunuch’s neck, saying, "This is to punish you for the insolence you just uttered."
"Your head can remain on your shoulders for now."
