Chapter 517 Destined to Be Alone

"I don't know how many more battles we have to fight?" Every day, the newspapers have the latest news of the war. Although far away from the battlefield, these tense news still make people feel the cruelty of war.

Besides, there are many refugees here who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies on the battlefield, and they are even more afraid of war.

"I heard that the army in the south not only fights, but also helps local people do things?"

"How can it be so good? Not robbing things is already a benevolent army, and they also help do things?"

"The south is the real country of the people, and the army is also the army of the people. What's wrong with their own army working for themselves? Otherwise, why do you think so many people support them?"

"Oh? That's what the people want. I didn't expect the army in the south to be like this."

Kou Zhong's reputation spread in this war, and without Li Shimin in the north, the army obviously had problems, and the quality of the soldiers took a sharp turn for the worse.

Everyone is also very concerned about the changes in the north. Of course, the only thing they care about most is where Li Shimin is?

After Li Shimin escaped from Taiyuan, he fled to the grassland and then disappeared.

These are all current events. The North-South War is now a topic of conversation for the people after dinner.

"This newspaper is excellent." Shi Zhixuan closed the newspaper. The food has not been served yet, so it is also good to take time to read current events.

Xu Ziling sat opposite him and didn't know what to answer, "That's all thanks to those reporters who are not afraid of danger and interview on the battlefield."

"Well, your brother is very proud. It is only a matter of time to unify the country. After crossing the Yellow River, there will be nothing that can stop Kou Zhong. I didn't expect that in just one year, he could go from a gangster to a national hero and a founding hero." Shi Zhixuan is very optimistic about Kou Zhong. He once hid in the temple of the Sui Dynasty and offered advice to alienate the tribes on the grassland, so he has vision and strategies. Suddenly he raised his eyes and moved his gaze from the newspaper to Xu Ziling's face, "What about you?"

"What?" Xu Ziling didn't know what Shi Zhixuan meant.

"I want to ask, what is your goal? You and Kou Zhong claim to be the two dragons of Yangzhou. Now Kou Zhong has leaped over the dragon gate, shed his past skin, and has become a real dragon. What achievements have you made as one of the two dragons? Or what achievements do you want to make?" Shi Zhixuan's sharp eyes pierced Xu Ziling's heart.

? Are you asking about your goal? Xu Ziling originally came all the way here to help Kou Zhong, but now thinking back, Kou Zhong's power has been growing since they separated, and he can succeed with or without me.

Xu Ziling's character advocates nature and loves freedom. At first, he practiced martial arts for revenge, but the revenge has been taken. Later, he practiced martial arts to help Kou Zhong and fight against those enemies who wanted to kill the two dragons. Now these enemies have disappeared. Xu Ziling was stunned by Shi Zhixuan's question.

Martial artists, regardless of their level, have a goal, but Xu Ziling has no goal, nor does he have the ambition of Kou Zhong. What should I do? What do I want to do?

"I am very satisfied with the present, why should I think so far ahead?" Xu Ziling said to himself, "Why do people have to set a goal for themselves?"

"Water flows to the lower places, people go to the higher places. No matter who you are, you will have a goal. Farmers live to eat, businessmen live to make money. Without a goal, why should people live?" Shi Zhixuan looked at Xu Ziling, as if he wanted to see through him. This Xu Ziling's idea is too strange. He has never thought about his own problems, right?

Why live? What emerged in Xu Ziling's mind was not the greatness of the emperor and general, but the two stunning beauties Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan. Xu Ziling is such a person who loves beauty more than the country.

Power, money, beauty, there will always be a goal for men to work hard for their whole lives.

Of course, for the first two, this is progress in the eyes of others, but if it is for the last one, it is despised. How can a good man destroy his future for the word "color"?

Xu Ziling is good. At first glance, he is a person who has no interest in power and money. Only beauty can make him excited.

"Life is like a journey with countless forks in the road. What's important is not the destination, but the scenery along the way. Those scenery are the most intoxicating." Xu Ziling said as he looked at Shi Qingxuan who was busy in the kitchen. The scenery there was absolutely beautiful.

"..." He actually dared to have improper thoughts about his daughter. How could such an unambitious person allow him to be too close to his daughter?

Pah——

Shi Zhixuan slapped his palm on the table, "We are both called Shuanglong, how can you be like this?! You are not as good as Kou Zhong, nor do you learn from the master! If you continue like this, won't you become a useless person?"

Xu Ziling disagreed, "In the universe, humans are just like ants. Even if you have great ambitions to pursue perfection in your life, you are still not as good as a hair in the universe. In the end, it will be nothingness. Why not enjoy the process, comprehend the greatness of the universe, the beauty of the world, and experience all the joys and sorrows? Is life only for the so-called goal? I don't think so. Why not become a breeze, blowing across rivers, passing through the world, embracing thousands, without beginning and end, blowing wherever it goes?"

...

Shi Zhixuan didn't expect Xu Ziling to have such an idea, too negative. Even if Shi Zhixuan lived casually, at least he had the achievement of creating the "Immortal Seal".

But I didn't know that this idea was much more positive than before. When Xu Ziling first saw the solar system, he denied the meaning of his life. Now at least I know that I am looking up at the universe and looking down at the smallest details. It is still interesting to live.

Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Let your daughter stay away from him in the future.

"If I can find a like-minded beauty and spend my life with her, it will be enough." Thinking of the girl he pursued in the sunset, it was Xu Ziling's lost youth. That's about it.

Shi Zhixuan was even more speechless. It seemed that the other party really liked his daughter. I just don't know if his daughter has such a ridiculous idea.

Although Shi Zhixuan is a father, he doesn't understand his daughter. Shi Qingxuan is actually very traditional. She just hopes that she can find a beloved husband like her mother, and then stay together to form a family. It's just that she hasn't developed any love for Xu Ziling yet, at most she just has a good impression.

The atmosphere of this meal was very strange. Shi Zhixuan no longer paid attention to Xu Ziling, but chatted with his daughter, and there was a hint of apology in his words.

Shi Qingxuan was of course happy that her father had really changed. She longed for ordinary life, and family harmony was happiness.

Xu Ziling was quite embarrassed. After the meal, he immediately said goodbye and left. But he keenly felt Shi Zhixuan's dissatisfaction with him, but he didn't know what he had done wrong? He was telling the truth. It was enough money, and the same was true for martial arts. Could it be that Shi Zhixuan hated him because of this?

Not to mention that Xu Ziling was originally a very talented person, and now his martial arts have already entered the hall. As long as time accumulates, it will not be a problem for him to become a grandmaster in the future. Everything will come naturally. Xu Ziling has the capital to live with such an attitude, just like the rich second generation said that he wanted to experience life. If he really did this, ordinary people would definitely be useless.

Anyway, Shi Zhixuan has decided to keep his daughter away from Xu Ziling, and Shi Feixuan will leave soon. The two beauties in Xu Ziling's heart will not become his lovers. It was simply because of Duran's intrusion that Xu Ziling was destined to be lonely for the rest of his life.
