Chapter 996 - Letter of Challenge
“Father, are you disappointed in me?” asked Zhuge Yan, looking at Zhuge Liuyun.
“I am, but that’s only because my expectations of you are too high. You know the hopes I’ve placed on you. But in cultivation, setbacks are inevitable. What matters is whether you can overcome yourself.” Zhuge Liuyun’s expression did not change in the slightest, and his tone remained calm.
“Overcome myself?” Zhuge Yan sighed. It wasn’t something he could simply brush aside.
He had lost tragically in front of countless people. Chen Fan had crushed his pride and turned him into a joke.
How can he face others now?
Did he even have the qualification to call himself peerless now?
Even he felt disappointed in himself.
“Failure is not what you should fear. What’s truly frightening is being unable to face failure.” Zhuge Liuyun looked at Zhuge Yan and said, “In the past, I competed with Zhuge Qingfeng for the throne. I lost—just one step behind. That was my first and only failure.
“But I never gave up. Now, look at the state of the ancient nation. So what if Zhuge Qingfeng is called the sovereign? He’s at my mercy now.
“Yan’er, overcome this. Only then will you take the next step forward!”
Zhuge Liuyun’s words reverberated in Zhuge Yan’s ears.
