Chapter 950: Never Again
"I'm just joking."
Zhao Lin smiled, patting Chen Changsheng on the shoulder. "What's so good about Cultivation? It's exhausting. Just thinking about it is terrifying."
As he spoke, his expression shifted, and he shook his head repeatedly, as if recalling something awful.
"Terrifying? How so?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"You'll understand if you really think about it," Zhao Lin said. "People have to go through certain things in life. I could never manage the purity of a Daoist. I don't have that realm. All that nonsense about a heart as still as water—forget it. I couldn't do it, not a chance. Think about it. If none of the people close to you live as long as you do, what then? Watching them all pass away with your own eyes..."
As Zhao Lin spoke, he noticed Chen Changsheng had suddenly fallen silent.
He stopped immediately, swallowing the rest of his words.
Chen Changsheng snapped back to the present and asked, "What is it?"
Zhao Lin shook his head. "Never mind."
