Chapter 469 - 305: The Suicidal Person
Never do things you will regret beyond redemption...
Su Fu had never done anything in his life that he did not regret, so one more or one less didn’t make much difference to him.
Seeing him silent, Sang Chen’s face turned even paler, and he stammered, "Hero... brave man... you, you should see the bigger picture... the world is vast, and people are as insignificant as ants, no difficulty is more than a trifling matter..."
Su Fu had not expected Sang Chen, who appeared so meek and weak, to possess such a liberated spirit. As someone who lived a life of swift retribution, these words truly resonated with him.
"Spirited," he said, tilting his head back to drink from his flask, lifting the sack of wine, "Care to join?"
...
About half an hour later...
By the riverbank squatted a man in a grey robe; standing firmly next to him was a man in dark clothes. The two were three feet apart when the young man in the grey robe, amidst sobs and tears, choked out, "...but she is married now, and I need not hesitate any longer, yet my heart feels unbearably heavy. I hate my own incompetence, having only managed to bring a congratulatory gift today, and then losing my way. Now the city gates are closed, and I can only sleep outside the walls, not knowing when I might find my way back. If I miss the roll call tomorrow morning..."
It turned out that he had been wandering back and forth on the path behind them, all because he was lost! Su Fu, leaning on his long sword and gazing into the distance, felt he had added another regret to his life. He should not have let him drink, for after just one sip, he had started pouring out his woes like a little wife.
"A true man born into this world should not be so overcautious and constrained, unable to ease his mind. What’s the point of living!" Sang Chen yelled hoarsely and suddenly rushed into the lake in front of him.
