章 698: Chapter 697: You Could Be More Explicit

As Zhu Qilan continued observing the Xun character, she felt its profound depths whenever she tried to comprehend it.

Wordless thoughts held at the edge of her lips.

Lu Bei smirked, not admiring it at all. The path he tread on stressed mutual aid. The more his comrades understood, the more he gained.

Having a large number of people around, even if he were to lay low in the future, they could carry him on their backs to ascension.

"Brilliant!"

Before dawn broke, Lu Bei sat alone in an empty room, lamenting the world's fickleness. In his despair, he called upon Mr. Yu for some night-time reading.

Mr. Yu cultivated solely to maintain his youth. If he could stay youthful for a few more years, then it was worth it; he wasn't a cultivator with ambitious goals.
