Chao Bufan chuckled and said, “Mortals have their own paradise, and cultivators have their own life. Take HX for example. These weapons are merely symbols of HX's power, and are generally forbidden to use unless it's a matter of life and death. These are all things in the open; what's truly frightening is what's hidden. As you know, HX has eight great cultivation families, and other countries have the same. If these cultivators secretly plot, even if HX is powerful, it can still be destroyed. This is what they mean by 'it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.' The mission of your eight great cultivation families is nominally to protect the safety of HX, but there are many things you can't control. Otherwise, HX has gone through countless dynasties, uniting and splitting, and you eight great cultivation families still ignored it all. So, the existence of your eight great cultivation families is nothing more than a threat to the human cultivation world.”
He Yifei nodded and said, "Yes, what you say is very true. Although the mission of our eight great cultivation families has always been to protect the safety of HX country, that is indeed aimed at the cultivation world."
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "I have lived two lives, and only now have I come to understand this principle."
He Yifei asked, "Young master, what is the reasoning behind this?"
Chao Bufan pondered for a moment and said, "Life is fleeting, like grass in autumn. Cultivation can certainly strengthen the body and prolong life, and it certainly brings its own joys, but these joys are only based on the foundation of improved cultivation. Even if you were given the elixir of immortality, what good would it do? Would it make you happy? It's much more genuine to live a simple life, to be content with what you have. True happiness lies in letting go; only by giving can you receive. That's true happiness. If you relentlessly pursue something, you will lose even more. Life is like viewing scenery; if you immerse yourself in one view, you'll miss the others. The true meaning of life is nothing more than this! A simple life, finding happiness in letting go, instead of like us, relentlessly throwing ourselves into cultivation, forgetting the joys that should rightfully be ours—what's the point of life then?"
Upon hearing this, He Yifei gave a wry smile and said, "Young master, you make it sound so easy, but who can truly do what you say?"
Chao Bufan laughed, "That's exactly what I did, Yifei. You know, the reason people get so tired is that they often waver between persistence and giving up, unable to make a decision. In life, there are always things worth remembering, and things we must give up. Giving up and persisting are attitudes everyone faces when confronting life's problems. Having the courage to give up is magnanimous, and daring to persist is also a kind of courage. Who can truly say what's right and wrong? If we can understand how to choose, and persist in what we should persist in, and give up what we should give up, then we will be happy. The reason people suffer is that they pursue too much..." Many. Knowing full well that some ideals will never be realized, some questions will never be answered, and some stories will never have an ending, we still relentlessly pursue, wait, and fantasize. The reason people are never satisfied is because they have too much vanity. As the saying goes, contentment brings happiness, but how many people can truly reach that state? It's not that people have too little, but that they want too much. The world is full of wonders and temptations; it's impossible for us not to be moved, not to yearn, not to fantasize. Yifei, let me ask you honestly, are you happy right now?
Upon hearing this, He Yifei was visibly taken aback, momentarily speechless. Happiness—what an unattainable word, what a thorn in her side! She silently asked herself, Am I happy? Am I really happy? She couldn't answer herself, because she simply didn't know how to answer.
Chao Bufan glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, I know even if you don't say it. I used to be just like you, and like all people like us. I didn't understand what happiness was or its true meaning. From now on, as long as you do as I say, I guarantee you will not only get the happiness you want, but it won't interfere with your cultivation."
Upon hearing this, He Yifei hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Young Master, are you telling the truth?"
Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "Of course, why would I lie to you! Look at me, I'm very happy now, and I'm doing whatever I want."
He Yifei smiled slightly and then nodded and said "Mm".
"We've arrived, let's get off!"
The car stopped at the entrance of the "Tian Tian Le" entertainment center. As soon as the car stopped, Chicken and several of his men came out to greet them.
"Big Brother," Chicken said, followed by his underlings who respectfully replied, "Big Brother."
Chao Bufan nodded.
"Brother, who is this?" As soon as Shanji saw He Yifei, he immediately understood.
"This is He Yifei, a friend of mine."
"Hello, Miss Yifei! My name is Shanji."
He Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Hello!"
"Brother, Miss Yifei, please come in!"
Chao Bufan turned around and smiled slightly at He Yifei, "Let's go!"
Then he took the lead and went inside. Chicken followed behind, thinking to himself, "Big Brother is really something, every girlfriend he finds is a beauty."
Shanji invited Chao Bufan to his office. Chao Bufan sat down on the sofa and asked, "Shanji, how's the progress these past few days?"
The pheasant stood respectfully before Chao Bufan and replied in a humble voice, "Brother, it's alright! The seller is currently proceeding according to our plan."
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Okay, that's good."
"Oh, right, brother, there's something I'd like to tell you."
"what's up?"
"Brother, have you ever heard of the JM Group?"
"JM Group?" Chao Bufan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Never heard of it, why?"
"Brother, the boss of JM Group is named He Tianba. He started out selling weapons and is currently in charge of the entire underground arms trade in HX. I've heard that he's also a weapons expert, especially his two younger brothers, He Tianhu and He Tianlong. These two are weapons enthusiasts and mechanical experts as well."
"Pheasant, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Brother, it's like this. I knew Yi Tianlong, the third brother of JM Group, before. Yesterday, I ran into He Tianlong and inadvertently learned from him that JM Group is currently secretly producing a batch of robots and wants to cooperate with us!"
"Is there a problem?" Chao Bufan asked.
