章 923: The Journey of Old Youths in Mount Li

Tang Thirty-Six's gaze moved between Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu as he asked, "Why is it that when we're discussing such a grave and frightening issue, the two of you can be so calm?"

Chen Changsheng replied, "As I said to you in the Orthodox Academy, I had an illness when I was a child that made it so I wouldn't live past the age of twenty."

It was impossible for Tang Thirty-Six to forget this.

Back then, the Orthodox Academy had been shrouded in clouds of sorrow.

In their ears, every word of Chen Changsheng's from back then had been his last will and testament.

Zhexiu commented, "I've also had this illness since I was a child."

Yes, from a certain perspective, Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu had lived similarly tragic lives.

Upon coming to this world, they knew that it would be impossible for them to stay for too long.

There was no better way to describe the saying 'facing death to live'.
