"Yes, it's wrong! As the successor to the Heaven and Earth Sect, you're not allowed to lose!"
I snorted. "You lost to the Heavenly Venom King too, or so he claimed."
That shut Tian Mo up. He stared at me, his expression softening. My head lowered, I continued to retort.
"So how am I supposed to fight him? Are you asking others to do what you can't? I'm done. My goal is to live, to be with my friends and family, not to recklessly fight everybody on my way to become the so-called strongest. I couldn't care about being invincible or undefeated or the strongest. It's meaningless if I'm not alive to accompany my friends and family."
Tian Mo almost seemed to sigh as he studied my slumped, exhausted figure.
"Cong…"
His voice was gentle now, but firm.
"…"
I responded with silence, waiting for him to say whatever he intended. Tian Mo placed a ghostly hand on my shoulder as he leaned forward, his tone almost kind.
"…I was undefeated in my lifetime."
