Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 89: Who is Right? Who is Wrong?

"Brother Qin, we should probably head to our room. Thanks for the meal." Walking through the restaurant, it was already night time. Tan Shui smiled at Qin while rubbing her belly and walking away.

It turns out Qin wasn't the only one with an enormous appetite. Tan Shui ordered the same meal two more times. At this moment, even Qin admitted defeat. He didn't understand how she could fit so much food in her small stomach.

At that moment, Qin understood one thing. Even if you have it small, you can still fit big.

And, Qin had to pay for all that. He was their brother-in-law even if it was hidden. He still got to pay just how he had to pay before.

"Are you planning to reach the top ten?" Qin turned his head at Tan Ge as they walked towards the mansion. Tan Shui stays at a different mansion than this.

"Yeah, I want to try. If I can reach the top ten, my breakthrough to Qi Condensation Realm would be easy. Of course, it isn't hard as it is now. But, it would be a lot easier with extra resources." Tan Ge nodded his head and answered.

"Well, good luck and don't expect me to be soft if you end up facing me." Qin patted his shoulder and walked away. His room was just a few steps away while Tan Ge's room was a little far away.

"Haha! I won't be soft as well." Tan Ge laughed and walked away while Qin entered the room.

Qin closed the door and walked up to his bed. He directly collapsed on his bed and closed his eyes. He didn't train. He didn't spend time with Qiao Fu. All he did for the entire night was to sleep.

Cukoo!

The next morning, the sound of chicken woke him up.

Qin rubbed his eyes and looked around. He sat on the bed while hearing the noises of the disciples from outside. He knew everyone was getting excited for the competition to continue. And, he was also excited about the battles.

After all, he had encountered an amazing battle yesterday. By restricting his strength, he wanted to get better at his fighting strength.

Most of his fighting strength mostly comes from the physical body, and that's what he wants to restrict. He wants to use qi and pure swordsmanship as much as possible.

After walking out of the mansion, he found Guan Xing and Guo Xin waiting for him. Surprisingly, Guo Xin had a few bruises on his face. He frowned and walked closer to Guo Xin, asking "What happened?"

Guo Min opened his mouth but not a single word came out of his mouth.

"Some disciples ganged upon him. Thankfully, he had bad luck surrounding him so they were caught by the elder and beaten." Guan Xing sighed and explained.

Qin nodded his head and patted Guo Xin's shoulder.

"Don't worry about anything else, you just need to get stronger. Everything will be in your hand once you have enough strength."

Hearing his words, Guo Min clenched his fist and nodded his head.

"Do you really think strength can solve everything?" Guan Xing suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

"I think strength is the key for anything you want." Qin nodded his head and replied.

Guan Xing turned silent and shook his head. He lowered his head and spoke.

"I don't think strength is the key to everything. You have the strength that's why you attacked that disciple. In your eyes, he tried to make Guo Min suffer so you took an action. But, if you didn't have enough strength, could you possibly take any action? No, you couldn't."

"For you, he might be wrong. But for others, Guo Min was part of the reason why they lost. After all, there are some facts that you can't change. Strength can't change the world. It can only suppress things temporarily."

"If you become a legend in Saitou Region, you will leave this place. But, let's suppose you let a child before you leave and if you take that child's mother as well. If that child doesn't possess your talent, would anyone accept him? No, he will be treated even worse than a dog. Because in their eyes, they can only see strength, not relationship."

Guan Xing raised his head to Qin and stared at his eyes, continuing "You can't make changes with the strength alone. Yes, history is written by the winner but strength doesn't determine your win. If your goal is to become the strongest person, you will face many troubles in your path."

"You could achieve that goal but you will create many enemies. And, some enemies don't care about their death. They only want you to suffer. You can protect your people today but you can't protect them forever."

"Your enemies will strike your people and one by one, you will lose everything. At that moment, even if you reach your goal, you will not be the winner. You could say that if you have enough strength you can solve kill your enemy before he can make you suffer."

"But, if I want to kill Senior Sister Yue. Can you stop me? No, because I am standing in front of you. And, you can only kill me but you can't stop my win. Compassion is hard to achieve. If you think strength can change everything then you are wrong. Only the right mindset can change people."

"But, you cannot change them. You can only change yourself. And, spread this change."

After Guan Xing paused for a moment, Qin asked "What's the point of telling me this? What do you want to tell me?"

Guan Xing smiled and answered "I want you to control your attitude. Yesterday, we could've solved everything without you injuring that person. In your eyes, he is wrong. But, in others' eyes, Guo Min is wrong. You are using your strength to change others mindsets but it won't work. And, he is the evidence."

Saying so, Guan Xing raised his finger at Guo Min.

Qin turned silent after hearing his words. Finally, he understood what Guan Xing wanted to say. In his eyes, he didn't solve Guo Min's problem rather increased it. Because now, other disciples will target him whenever Qin is not around.

As Guan Xing said, strength doesn't solve problem.

Qin sighed and nodded his head "You are right but I don't think we can change other mindsets with words. Do you think if I didn't have the talent or strength, the head elder or other elders will put that matter aside?"

"No, they won't. They only look up to strength. And, yes, you are right. If my child is born without talent, nobody will look up to him. Even I might not look after him. A tiger can't have a dog. But, a snake can transform into a dragon."

"If my child is born without talent, I will push him towards the dragon gate, make him leap over it, and transform him into a dragon. Because I would've enough strength to do it. I think you are right. But, you can't change the world with words. Nobody will listen to you if you don't have strength."

"Yes, I might not become the winner. But, if I have enough strength, can't I change life and death and resurrect people. What's the point of pursuing immortality if it can't give you the chance to manipulate life and death?"

"Cultivation is the manipulation of life and death. By cultivating, you are increasing your lifespan while taking the resources of others and leading them to death."

At this moment, Guan Xing suddenly asks "What if you can't resurrect them? What if you can't manipulate life and death? Everything we know about the cultivation could be just a myth or a legend. You are betting everything in strength but what if you lose the bet?"

"You will lose everything. And, you will have nothing to live. So, what's the point of being immortal when you have nothing to live for?"

"But, you are also betting on something you can't control, right? You can't completely change the world. There will always be bad guys and you need to suppress them with your strength. If I have a sword to destroy their lives, why would I keep them alive?" Qin asked, slightly losing his emotions.

Guan Xing shook his head "World is not black and white as you see. It is grey. Even in the heart of a devil, there can be some goodwill remain."

Guan Xing walked in front of Qin and tapped his heart.

"Would you be a devil with the heart of a sage? Or, would you be a savior with the heart of a devil? The choice is in your mind. But, sometimes this choice can lead people to destruction. You are a swordsman, right?"

Then, he patted Qin's cheek and said "This face is just useless skin. It doesn't represent who you are. I am not telling you to be a devil nor am I telling you to be a sage. I just want you to remember. Strength doesn't solve everything."
