Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1129: Chapter 1128: Is Lu Xiaobu a Coward!?

Ye Changsheng was really curious, very curious.

The game rules didn’t allow Lu Xiaobu to reveal his identity.

And usually, although Lu Xiaobu never followed the rules, he still had to obey this one.

Because this wasn’t just a game rule; it was a shackle in Lu Xiaobu’s heart.

Once Lu Xiaobu broke this rule, it would mean his worry was not a worry at all, because the truth would prove that Lu Xiaobu still needed the identity of Lu Xiaobu.

Since it was needed, it had to be maintained!

But if he didn’t care about life and death like when he jumped off a cliff yesterday and didn’t care about this identity, how could he resolve the current situation?!

Fight?! Lu Xiaobu might really be unable to win!

Two fists are no match for four hands; the opponents approached aggressively, and even if he held a sharp weapon, how many nails could he crush?!

If he couldn’t win, he would crave force, and in this way, he would have untangled his heart.

So, if Lu Xiaobu were really trapped in the mud and couldn’t get out, he would have only one path, not using force, not threatening, and making the opponent retreat easily!

Is this possible?!

Although Ye Changsheng was a Grandmaster, he felt he couldn’t do it.

Lu Xiaobu?! Can he?!

At this moment, Lu Xiaobu sat there contemplating life, surrounded completely by thugs.

The leader walked out, sneering at Lu Xiaobu: ”You really have some guts, trying to muscle in on our turf?! Even daring to sit here without leaving, you are quite a man! I, Chen, must say, I’m impressed!”

Lu Xiaobu glanced at the leader, then lowered his head again, completely ignoring him.

This indifferent attitude instantly infuriated the leader named Chen.

He had the numbers now, and this kid actually ignored him?!

”Outrageous!” Chen shouted angrily, on the verge of taking action.

At this moment, Lu Xiaobu casually spoke: ”Why do you live?”

As soon as these words came out, his Charm Attribute and Dignity Attribute instantly maxed out.

You might remember, that charm and dignity, combined with intelligence, can create illusions.

Although intelligence wasn’t added, it was enough for the people in front of him.

After all, everyone knew that folks in the underworld were somewhat superstitious and liked to worship Lord Guan.

Furthermore, this was at the foot of Wutai Mountain, so these people had a bit of faith.

Thus, as the words were spoken, it was as if the Buddha manifested for the Buddhists, and the Three Pure Ones descended for the Taoists.

So much so, that Lu Xiaobu’s words left them all stunned.

All the thugs didn’t dare to make a move.

Chen was particularly dumbfounded.

Then he softly said, as if afraid of provoking divine wrath: ”I live to enjoy life more!”

Lu Xiaobu lifted his head, showing a bit of interest: ”What do you mean by ’enjoy’?”

Chen: ”Live freely and take revenge when needed.”

Lu Xiaobu: ”Have you really lived freely and taken revenge? Is there anything you wanted but couldn’t do? Are there people you’re afraid of?! If so, how can you say you live freely and take revenge?!”

Chen lowered his head: ”Yes! I haven’t lived freely or taken revenge. There are people I’m afraid of, and there are those I hate deeply but can’t take revenge on! There are things I’ve tried with all my strength but couldn’t achieve!”

Lu Xiaobu: ”And then?!”

Chen clenched his fist: ”Precisely because I can’t do it, I have to try!”

Lu Xiaobu frowned: ”And if you achieve it? What will you do next?!”

Chen suddenly sat cross-legged and said calmly: ”I don’t want to think that far; if I really achieve it, I’ll consider things then!”

”Take travel, for example. I’ve traveled too. Yes! I admit, the so-called travel is just going from places you’re tired of to where others are tired of!”

Lu Xiaobu frowned again: ”According to you, what’s the point of traveling?!”

Chen suddenly laughed: ”Yeah! Logically, travel indeed seems pointless! But! If you don’t go, don’t see, don’t walk, and don’t listen, how would you know what’s true and what’s false?!”

”Buddhism often says ’emptiness of the four elements’! But if you haven’t seen it, what right do you have to say it’s all empty?!”

”Just like this Wutai Mountain, people think it’s a place of purity, with the sounds of Buddhism and Taoism rising! But what? People’s hearts are restless and unstable, even more chaotic than in ordinary cities!”

”But still, people have to come! Without having seen it, you’re not qualified to say you’ve seen through everything!”

Lu Xiaobu’s brow furrowed further: ”And after you’ve really seen it all?!”

”Tch!” Chen suddenly scoffed: ”Seen it all?! All seen?! Who dares to say they’ve seen it all?! Even Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t dare to say he’s seen it all!”

”Why wouldn’t he dare?!” Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed!

Truth be told, he hadn’t gotten any answers from the monk, the Taoist, or the Grandmaster!

But now, he seemed to be getting close to an answer from this thug!

”Others might think Lu Xiaobu is a hero, but to me, damn it, he’s just a coward!” Chen suddenly stood up, shouting angrily!

”How can you say that?!” Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed.

”Why can’t I say that?! Yes, Lu Xiaobu has done many things others couldn’t achieve in a lifetime! He’s done many things that people admire! And then?!” Chen said with a completely heartbroken look.

”He got scared! Did you know?! He! Got! Scared!” Chen roared.

”I’m not afraid to admit!” Chen sat down again, head lowered: ”Despite my age, with two kids, the person I admire is Lu Xiaobu, a guy in his twenties!”

Chen seemed to have broken free from the double attributes of Lu Xiaobu’s Charm and Dignity, lost in his memories.

”Yes! I admit, the first time I heard the name Lu Xiaobu was when he had already achieved success and fame.”

”At that time, I was really amazed! I didn’t think there was someone so spirited in today’s society!”

”But, as I learned more about his past, I found myself admiring him more and more!”

”But! It’s not the current Lu Xiaobu I admire, it’s the one from the very beginning!”

”You probably don’t know, but back then, Lu Xiaobu could make a fool of himself, dancing in the street, completely unconcerned about saving face!”

”Because he knew he didn’t care about that!”

As Chen spoke, Lu Xiaobu also remembered the old him, falling into deep memories!

It was indeed like that; back then, he really didn’t care about so-called saving face, singing and dancing whenever he wanted!

Zheng Hai watched from the side, feeling a bit dazed!

Could it be that Lu Xiaobu’s heart knot would be untied by a thug?!
