Chapter 1629: Chapter 1634: The Righteous Path’s Direction

At this moment, Xia Yihua truly regretted becoming Leng Daoqiu’s disciple; Xia Yihua thought, if Leng Daoqiu also had such a powerful cultivation technique to pass on to him, he would surely not lose, and defeating Gu Mang wouldn’t be a dream!

But later, Xia Yihua realized that Leng Daoqiu couldn’t compare to Lin Fei at all. However, wrong was wrong, and Xia Yihua fell silent, as one punch had already dissipated his anger.

"No way! I, Xia Yihua, will never let you off like this!" Xia Yihua roared, shouting toward the outside of the cave.

The sound echoed throughout the entire Man Mountain, and no one responded to him, perhaps only the sound winding through the mountains did.

Lin Fei at this moment was walking with Gu Mang, heading to Gu Mang’s home.

Gu Mang’s home?

Yes, Gu Mang’s home. Three years had passed in the blink of an eye, and time seemed like a very fast-flowing stream, washing over everyone, changing their appearances.

Unknowingly, Lin Fei seemed to realize that time had no impact on him at all, and unknowingly, time had slipped away, leaving only the imprints of time, which were reflected in others.

"Gu Mang, you won this time, are you happy?" Lin Fei said while walking, the two were walking through the forest.

Gu Mang looked at his master with suspicion; although he was seventeen this year, his slight physique still couldn’t compare to Lin Fei.

"Master, I... I am not happy..."

Lin Fei looked at Gu Mang in surprise, "Why aren’t you happy? Isn’t it worth being happy?"

Gu Mang’s expression shifted, then he spoke, "I feel that my strength is not enough, I must work harder!"

"What if you surpass me? Would that be enough then?" Lin Fei suddenly asked.

Gu Mang was taken aback, "Master, disciple dares not!"

Lin Fei sighed, "Gu Mang, I want to tell you something, something I’ve thought about over the years, and I always felt this matter was important."

"Please speak, Master, disciple will listen." Gu Mang replied, wondering why Lin Fei was behaving so unusually today.

Lin Fei nodded, "Very good, but I hope you not only listen but also remember in your heart."

"Yes!"

Lin Fei looked at Gu Mang’s determined expression and said, "Do you think the things I do don’t represent the Righteous Path?"

Gu Mang was stunned, not knowing why Lin Fei would ask this, but he instinctively responded, why would Lin Fei ask so suddenly, "Master... I... I don’t know."

Lin Fei shook his head, "Gu Mang, be candid, not calculating. I don’t want you to have such thoughts."

Gu Mang felt his master was behaving too unusually, and today he spoke to him like this, it seemed his master had discovered something.

Indeed, Lin Fei had detected Gu Mang’s thoughts. As for why? Lin Fei asked Gu Mang about what he had done, whether it was righteous or justified, but Gu Mang didn’t say, his response was hesitant, indecisive. If Gu Mang had a clean conscience, he would have immediately said what was in his heart; such hesitation, clearly, was not a good response.

"Reporting to Master, I...I believe...what you do...is right!" Gu Mang stuttered, finally saying these words, yet not satisfying Lin Fei.

"Alas!" Lin Fei sighed, feeling quite unhappy, but his disciple...

Finally, Lin Fei stopped and said to Gu Mang, "Gu Mang, I’m telling you that what I’ve done may already be against the Righteous Path and could even be called the Evil Path!"

Gu Mang was completely stunned, couldn’t believe this, his master thought all he did was wrong? Then he?

Indeed, flattering went wrong, Gu Mang realized the situation was bad.

Lin Fei looked at Gu Mang’s worried expression, which he felt shouldn’t appear on Gu Mang’s face, yet Gu Mang had this anxious look, how could Lin Fei be at ease?

"Gu Mang, what I want to tell you is, although what I’ve done is evil, even cruel, what’s important is a just heart. You can see, although my methods are despised, the outcomes of my actions are all moving in a good direction, this fact cannot change."

"Although I slaughter mercilessly, those I kill are bad people. If I do not act, the world would surely fall into the hands of people from the Upper Realm, so I have become righteousness in the eyes of many, but I feel what I do is not righteousness but evil. Yet my thoughts remain right, does this explanation make sense to you?"

Actually, Lin Fei was quite puzzled himself, he wasn’t good at explaining, asking him to explain his thoughts was truly difficult.

Gu Mang’s brows furrowed slightly, "Master, what you’re saying is having a kind heart is enough?"

Lin Fei nodded, "That’s the idea. I don’t want you to be a great good person, but I hope you keep justice in your heart, consider every deed carefully whether it’s in the right direction."

"Disciple understands, disciple is enlightened!" Gu Mang responded immediately.

Lin Fei nodded in satisfaction, as long as Gu Mang understood this principle, everything was manageable, at least at certain times, as long as Gu Mang kept righteousness in mind, his future path definitely would not stray. Only afraid if his heart lost righteousness, then Lin Fei wouldn’t know how to teach him.

Soon, Lin Fei and his companion reached the metropolis.

The metropolis was a very large entertainment venue filled with various people, from civilians to officials, their silhouettes could be seen here.

Simultaneously, since the metropolis accepted all kinds of people, naturally it’s divided into levels, after all, a table full of white-collar workers eating couldn’t have a beggar joining, white-collars perhaps couldn’t eat then.

Of course, this was metaphorical, but it sufficiently represented the rules here. If you’re lacking in strength, without money, don’t even think about going up.

The metropolis was divided into eighteen floors, each floor representing different consumption, because when Lin Fei and his companion reached the fourth floor, they were already stopped, making it difficult for them.

However, Lin Fei still had a solution, that is to use another card, a card exchanged by coins.

Each floor required different cards, different consumption, hence Lin Fei took out a top-level card worth ten million.

Upon hearing this figure, Gu Mang was quite shocked, Lin Fei pulled out of his pocket a bank card, directly took out two more, which made Gu Mang shudder, his master was indeed wealthy.

This was clearly because Gu Mang had been focusing on cultivation and hadn’t placed his mind in modern society.
