To survive in this chaotic world, one must become strong. Thus, the mindset of a salted fish clashes severely with this world.
Everyone has a destiny they await, or perhaps destiny arranges things in such a way. It's not a clever combination, but a new beginning. Ye Tiancheng is extremely annoyed that such a thing would happen to him. The very things he dislikes appear in his life… Oh my… There’s nothing to be done about it…
"It seems I have no choice but to accept reality!"
Ye Tiancheng said to Su Mingxian beside him.
Su Mingxian said, "Since you've recognized this, you shouldn't have idle thoughts. Follow me. I know a place that's very fun and where you might meet different companions. Being alone in this world is too lonely, and two is too monotonous."
His words held great truth. Perhaps interaction with others could change oneself.
Humans are animals that fear loneliness. Only through constant communication with those close to their hearts can they become lively and cheerful. Therefore, he strongly agreed with Su Mingxian. Winning or losing aside, he was already very happy. He chose the nearest route to a new place called Duogongna City-state.
"Alright, let's go to that place then," Ye Tiancheng said happily.
And so, they headed towards that place.
Determined to leave the forest and go to a new world.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng suddenly enlightened, Su Muxian was surprised.
"Why the sudden enlightenment?"
"Because I suddenly understood a little bit," Ye Tiancheng replied.
"Hmph!" Su Mingxian didn't believe his words at all, thinking he must have some ulterior motive.
Indeed, one cannot trust someone too much. The price of trusting someone too much is very heavy.
After leaving the forest, they arrived at Duogongna City-state.
Ye Tiancheng was shocked by the scene before him.
No matter what, in this place, he saw a world he didn't want to see.
This was still a slave society.
Many slaves were driven like cattle and horses.
"This is hardly the human world; it's practically hell." Ye Tiancheng missed his civilized era. In that civilized era, he was very dissatisfied with society.
He always thought ancient society was a beautiful world.
Little did he know that upon arriving in this world, he discovered it was truly not a place to come to.
"This is truly a place I dislike," Ye Tiancheng said.
Su Mingxian smiled, "Didn't you dislike that world quite a bit before?"
"Before is before, and now is now…"
"Then do you regret it?"
"Of course not," Ye Tiancheng replied. "That's a misunderstanding on your part."
"Alright, let's go."
Saying this, she led Ye Tiancheng forward.
It was clear she was very familiar with this city-state, as if she had been here before.
"I used to sell medicinal herbs here."
"So you're very familiar? And how do you know about herbal medicine?"
"Didn't I follow you before? Naturally, I picked up some knowledge about herbs by osmosis," Su Muxian's words were flawless, and this theory made Ye Tiancheng quite emotional.
Therefore, in Ye Tiancheng's heart, there was an ideal version of Su Muxian.
Su Mingxian didn't expect him to be lost in thought.
"You'll only harm yourself by thinking like this."
"Then tell me, how should I survive?"
"Follow the flow of time, and the future will be bright. Your thoughts are always dark, which is why you are unhappy."
"You brought me here to tell me how to find the future?"
"Yes," Su Mingxian did not hide her inner thoughts.
These thoughts of hers truly confirmed some things that should exist.
The city-state was divided among four families.
Each family had its own influence.
Within their sphere of influence, things naturally proceeded peacefully.
However, if this power were to be disrupted, it would signal the potential for errors.
The Jin family and the Xiong family, two major families, were not on good terms.
In this relatively primitive place, everyone felt a different kind of threat and fear. Here, they deeply understood what it meant to be afraid.
Therefore, under these circumstances, they could only take a drastic action with Ye Tiancheng.
That was to prevent him from being seen by the government officials.
If he were seen, this boy would surely cause trouble.
Thus, they were all worried he would be doomed.
If he were to be doomed, it would mean he had no chance of survival.
If a person has no chance of survival, it means the time spent with them will be reduced.
This was something she did not want to see.
Therefore, at this moment, she could only console her thoughts with a tragic idea.
It was clear that she never wanted this, and her purpose was simple, not complicated or conflicting.
This was because once a relationship formed, it meant such things would happen before her, and it would also make her very uncomfortable with such a framework.
Most people were as devoted to the Southern Bull as they were complex.
However, Su Mingxian truly wanted to broaden Ye Tiancheng's horizons.
Some people, though appearing prosperous in life, are actually very tragic.
Once tragedy strikes deeply, it becomes even more tragic.
Time is always astonishingly changed, and the changed person often knows nothing, planning how to survive like an idiot.
In such a world, people often appear powerless, even incoherent.
Hope always brings infinite destruction.
This structure, this idea, would be emptied.
What one originally wanted to achieve became a future that could not be anticipated.
This process was truly long and painful, with too many uncertain factors involved.
Therefore, we all habitually think about certain things.
As a result, we become very foolish, completely unaware of what we are doing.
Now, Ye Tiancheng was shielded by Su Mingxian.
Because members of the Jin family had arrived.
The young master Jin Shao'an was a young master who liked to bully the weak and exploit the innocent.
In this strange world, there were many decadent people. Most of them, like Ye Tiancheng, had no hope for the future, only endless gloom cast upon them.
"Young Master Jin has arrived. Unrelated individuals, please make way."
A powerful voice boomed, meaning these people needed to be dealt with.
In their minds, this situation meant someone was about to fall into misfortune.
As that person walked past, an evil smile appeared on his face.
This evil smile made Lin Xiao perceive him as a formidable young master.
The appearance of this young master gave Ye Tiancheng a different feeling.
He felt that this was someone he intensely disliked.
"Oh my! Young Master, there's a very beautiful person here!"
This lackey was referring to the beauty he saw, Su Mingxian.
Su Mingxian now regretted coming to the city-state. She had expected to see prosperity, but soon discovered it was filled with death and evil.
She knew very little about the unknown.
That's why she dreamed of this world being beautiful. But beauty was merely her imagination; this world was originally cruel.
When Jin Shao'an saw that there was a man accompanying her, his mood immediately soured.
Perhaps seeing the person he least wanted to see, his heart filled with infinite anger.
For a man who liked beautiful women, seeing another presence beside them would absolutely shatter his composure.
This was why he disliked him so much.
Perhaps in his eyes, such a person was the most disliked.
Jin Shao'an therefore walked over, his face filled with displeasure.
This was also one of the reasons why their moods became extremely unpleasant at this moment.
Seeing the demeanor of the two, a murderous aura suddenly appeared on his face.
Compared to others, the gap between people is sometimes so vast.
To improve one's aura, one must engage in a contest with this person before them. This was why he always seemed as if he wanted to devour Ye Tiancheng.
As Ye Tiancheng looked at Jin Shao'an, his heart was also filled with murderous intent.
The system therefore alerted Ye Tiancheng that he had indeed encountered danger.
This indicated that Ye Tiancheng immediately felt the crisis.
This crisis told him that the current battle needed to proceed with the fastest methods.
Therefore, no matter how much he thought, he would be intimidated by the aura of reality.
"Kid! I like this beauty!" Jin Shao'an told Ye Tiancheng directly.
Ye Tiancheng then laughed, "What are you doing, kid? You're truly a ridiculous existence."
"You're really ridiculous, daring to chirp in front of me!" Su Mingxian saw that she couldn't reason with this guy, so her murderous intent suddenly intensified.
This intense murderous intent told the other party that they were truly dangerous.
This implied how they would be doomed next.
Being doomed was a very undesirable outcome.
Although from the perspective of envy, Ye Tiancheng was an object that should be eliminated.
However, they were very unwilling to accept this phenomenon.
To be willing to accept this reality meant they would be considered ridiculous and tragic figures.
Regardless of how others viewed this matter, in Ye Tiancheng's heart, these things should be properly understood.
Therefore, he appeared very strange.
In Ye Tiancheng's eyes, this strange expression meant he should become very capable and should properly accomplish everything as they needed.
No matter what, future events require a variable.
Within this variable, one seeks what one hopes to be hoped for.
From this perspective, the battle that would inevitably occur between them and Jin Shao'an was destined.
Jin Shao'an said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you kneel down?"
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Tiancheng pressed.
This questioning clearly told him that Ye Tiancheng would not let him off easily.
In this case, it meant that future events would be terrifying.
This fighting style was constantly shifting and changing.
The amount of change was continuously varying.
The system would calculate various variables.
Because the system had followed Ye Tiancheng through reincarnation.
They would recognize the various data present in the system.
Including Jin Shao'an's aura.
"Kid, didn't you hear me? You're pretending not to know anything."
A sycophant standing beside Jin Shao'an questioned Ye Tiancheng arrogantly.
Ye Tiancheng then laughed, "Heh… Heh!"
That dismissive laugh was questioning the other party, "What do you want to do?"
This statement was like covering up something that wasn't there.
Ye Tiancheng clearly understood the other party's state because the system was helping him calculate.
His trajectory of action was completely grasped by Ye Tiancheng.
