Chen Changsheng had originally wanted to ask just what the heck did the essence of the path of the sword have to do with how great Wang Po and Xue He’s blade techniques were? However, after seeing Su Li’s angry appearance, how could he dare say that, so he replied sincerely, “Yes.”
“Then let me continue. The spirit of the path of the sword is about ‘one (一)’.”
This time, while saying the word ‘one’, Su Li stressed it, so as a result, it sounded very much like ‘one hundred million (亿)’.
TL: One (一) and one hundred million (亿) sound similar in Chinese, with just a difference in stress of tone.
Chen Changsheng asked seriously, “You are saying… cultivating the path of the sword requires one to be single-minded?”
Su Li thought about it and said, “Yes and no.”
Chen Changsheng thought about it and said, “Then… is it yes or no?”
Su Li stared into his eyes and said, “Anyway, it’s all about the word ‘one’.”
Chen Changsheng lowered his head again and said, “Yes.”
