"The heart's desire is where the path lies..." Shen Xinlan murmured to herself.
"Brother, your ambition is so vast. Even a saint would find it hard to live without regret, guilt, confusion, or ignorance, and harboring no resentment!"
"Thank you for your compliment," Shen Zhui replied with a faint smile.
Shen Xinlan glanced at Shen Zhui and proceeded to ask the second question.
"To pursue the great path, one must sever earthly emotions and desires, and no longer partake in the matters of the mortal world. Do you agree with this statement, Brother?"
"What nonsense!" Shen Zhui said with a laugh.
"Oh? And what is your view on this?" Shen Xinlan asked.
"Does this count as the third question?"
"No."
"Yes, it does."
"..."
Shen Xinlan was momentarily at a loss for words. Just a moment ago, this person seemed to be speaking sensibly, echoing her own thoughts, but suddenly he started acting mischievously.
