Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 327: The Complexity of Human Hearts

Jiangli’s brow twitched as he lifted his eyes to look at Xia Xin.

Xia Xin appeared calm and didn’t think there was anything he couldn’t say out loud, "But I’ve never blamed my master, nor have I felt that I was inferior to anyone else. At least, because of my master, I was able to save my own life. There are many abandoned babies or orphans who don’t survive. You always want to compare yourself to those above, why haven’t you compared yourself to those below?"

Tang Qianxi was slightly startled.

Xia Xin: "Actually, you said it yourself just now; you were raised by your grandmother, and though it was in the mountains, you had no worries about food and clothing. Your grandmother even supported you in going to university, which shows you were not bullied when you were a child. Once you enter society, you meets all kinds of people; if you feel aggrieved, you think fate is unfair. But think about those who spend their entire lives in the mountains, unable to come out, or even without enough food or warm clothing. Compared to them, aren’t you very fortunate?"

"For people like you and me who are not particularly clever and don’t have much talent, and were not born with silver spoons in our mouths, we can’t compare to those wealthy second-generation individuals. But why should we compare with them? When we envy them, there are others out there, who you don’t see, who have it worse than you, and they envy you."

The interrogation room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was looking at Xia Xin.

After finishing, Xia Xin realized what he had said and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

"Damn!" Wen Zishu suddenly jolted, excitedly clapping Xia Xin on the shoulder, "Little master, that’s awesome! You’re right, I admire you so much! Whoever says you aren’t awesome, I think you’re incredibly amazing!"

Xia Xin’s face turned red, and he felt quite embarrassed, "Really? I was just speaking off the cuff..."

"Of course! You’re really great!" Wen Zishu said, expressing his sincere admiration.

Xia Xin scratched his head awkwardly.

Tang Qianxi paused for a moment, then slowly sat down, her head lowered, as if she was deep in thought.

She suddenly remembered that, indeed, since childhood, she had lived a better life than others in the mountain village.

In the village, many people could not find enough food or warm clothing and would rarely taste meat the entire year.

Because of her grandmother’s status as the Witch, she earned quite a bit of money every day. She herself got to eat fresh vegetables and meat, always with a variety.

While other children wore tattered clothes and looked forward to wearing hand-me-downs during the new year, she got new clothes every few days.

Her grandmother took good care of her; thinking back, weren’t those days of her childhood the envy of other children?

After Tang Qianxi got into university, every time she returned to visit her grandmother, dressed up brightly, all the villagers’ gazes were filled with envy and amazement.

She had heard many people tell their children to aspire to be like Sister Tang Qianxi, to get into university, to leave the mountains, and to live a life in the city where one would not lack for meat...

At that thought, Tang Qianxi’s shoulders began to tremble slightly.

Jiangli glanced at her, then stood up from the table, "Alright, where is your grandmother’s book?"

Tang Qianxi spoke hoarsely: "At my home..."

Jiangli: "Where is your home?"

"Here’s paper and pen, write it down!" Song Taishan cleverly brought over some paper and a pen and placed them in front of Tang Qianxi.

This time, Tang Qianxi cooperated and wrote down her home address.

After writing it down, she put the pen down and looked at Jiangli, "Do you... want to take my grandmother’s notebook?"

Jiangli stated his intent directly, "Destroying it is better than leaving it in your hands."

Tang Qianxi paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I remember I always pestered my grandmother to teach me these things, but she refused. She said everyone has their own fate, and I wasn’t suitable... Maybe, I really am not suitable."
