Chapter 68 - 66: Blame Others Rather Than Yourself
Lu Xingzhi gave a bitter smile, his expression somewhat bewildered: "Shi Nian, do you think that I am also greatly at fault. I cultivate in the mountains all year round, only able to visit home once a year, and each time I spend with Jiang Yue is merely a few days. If it were someone else, they would surely have much more time to be with her."
The more Lu Xingzhi spoke, the more bitter his expression became.
Upon hearing this, Shi Nian couldn’t help but become anxious: "Second Senior Brother! What are you thinking about? If it was not for your cultivation in the Divine Martial Sect and having the support of your older brother, why would the Demon Clan have spared the Mu Family? Was it not all because they feared you, feared Master, feared our Divine Martial Sect! Back then, the Mu Family used this marriage arrangement to save their clan’s lives. Didn’t Mu Jiangyue benefit from this as well? If she felt wronged at that time, she could have simply rejected the marriage. Do you think Uncle Lu would have shamelessly insisted? If it were anyone else, her Mu Family would have been destroyed long ago."
Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Seeing Lu Xingzhi looking so dispirited, Shi Nian couldn’t help but feel frustrated with his lack of resolve.
"Second Senior Brother, let me tell you something."
"Instead of blaming yourself, it’s better to blame others!"
"If the world has betrayed you, then it’s the world’s fault! You are not in the wrong! If everyone in the world blames you, then they are at fault, and you are still not in the wrong!"
Lu Xingzhi tugged at the corner of his mouth, wanting to laugh but holding back.
Unable to resist, he looked at Shi Nian: "You sure have a way with these crooked arguments."
