Xuantian 1: Ancient Xuandongtian

Chapter 219 Because They Don’t Deserve Happiness
Seeing Lin Mengge wake up from her scream, Mu Hanchan quickly asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Lin Mengge turned to look at Mu Hanchan, her eyes suddenly filled with tears. She suddenly hugged him and started crying.

Mu Hanchan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm here. Don't be afraid, dreams are all fake."

"Wow,…"

Unexpectedly, Lin Mengge cried even harder.

Mu Hanchan was at a loss and could only continue to comfort her patiently.

It was a long time before Lin Mengge stopped crying.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I dreamed of two things, one good and one bad."

"what?"

"Which one do you want to listen to first?"

"OK."

"I dreamed that you became an immortal."

Mu Hanchan said: "Don't be ridiculous, Immortal Lord is equivalent to the leaders of 120+ first-level sects.

You have no idea how powerful the leader of a first-level sect is. As long as he doesn’t encounter someone of the same or higher level, he can dominate the entire cultivation world.”

"What I said was true, and I felt that the dream was also true."

Lin Mengge said seriously.

"Ugh!"

Mu Hanchan sighed and said, "You saying that I can become an immortal in the future is almost the same as saying that a cowherd who lost his parents can become an emperor in the future.

Even if it’s not a pipe dream, it’s still out of reach.”

"But it really feels so real. I have never had such a dream before." Lin Mengge confirmed again.

"Dreams are just dreams after all."

Mu Hanchan said softly, but his words were no longer confident.

Then he asked, "What about the second dream?"

Mu Hanchan smiled and waited for Lin Mengge to speak.

“I dreamed that I died.”

Mu Hanchan's smile froze immediately.

Because he thought of the dream he had in the Fire Scorpion Cave before, and unlike the dream he had in the Demon Altar before, the dream began to become clearer little by little.

Even though he knew it was just a dream, he still felt a little scared and panicked by Lin Mengge's words.

"Will not."

Mu Hanchan comforted him, then immediately overturned himself and asked, "How did you dream you died?"

"..."

"End of life."

Lin Mengge said.

"That's good, everyone dies. Dying of old age is the best way to die.

Besides, it was just a dream?"

"But,…"

Lin Mengge hesitated and did not continue speaking.

In fact, Lin Mengge did not obtain the authority to predict the future. Heaven only lent her the authority for a short period of time through their intercourse.

Why didn’t you let Mu Hanchan see this dream?

Because even if he saw it, it wouldn't change anything.

Because he has achieved the optimal solution for his behavior and choices.

He practices diligently, behaves honestly, is loyal to the sect, is filial to his parents, treats workers well, and obeys the arrangements and instructions of his master Mo Qian.

And love someone well.

Loyalty, diligence, justice, filial piety, kindness and love have formed the hexagon of happiness.

If happiness is a test paper with a total score of 200 points.

Both sides have 100 points.

Then you need to reach at least 120 points to barely touch the threshold of happiness, 160 points to get basic happiness, and above 180 points to get real happiness.

That means,

To achieve true happiness, both parties must score above 90 points.

As long as one of them scores below 80 points, he will not be able to obtain true happiness even if the other one gets full marks.

The other person won't be happy either, and neither of them will be happy.

It doesn't matter whether the score is high or low.

The difference is that for people with low scores, their misfortunes are caused by themselves, while for people with high scores, their misfortunes are caused by others.

A score of 90 is difficult and extremely rare.

Because from the perspective of heaven,

Most people scored below 60 points. A better score could reach over 50 points, but it was still failing.

The villains are all 30 points or below.

A very vicious person would score below 10 points.

Just like a very kind and upright person, the score is above 90.

Most people can barely reach the passing level only when they have good intentions.

But they think they are passing, good, or even excellent.

Because people are meant to be kind.

Kindness is a necessary and fundamental factor for happiness.

Kindness is not a bonus item (at least most people’s kindness is not enough to warrant bonus points), but a basic requirement.

In other words, you may not be happy if you are kind, but if you are not kind, you will never be happy. (For ordinary people, there is one exception: evil people will not be punished in this life because they will be subject to another system.)
When you think that your kindness is a plus, you have often fallen into a situation of being self-righteous.

(Unless your kindness is far beyond that of ordinary people, rather than just slightly better than others.)
There are many people who are obviously not good and not righteous, but they think they are good and righteous.

You can often see many people who behave wrongly, full of excuses and reasons for themselves.

They have been abandoned by happiness and have been on a long and wrong path, and they don't even know it.

Until his death, he believed that his misfortune was caused by others.

But they are unwilling to admit that they don’t deserve happiness.

Such people are fools.

And it is not restricted by gender, age, or even era.

Only truly kind and upright people suffer misfortunes caused by others, environment, and even the times.

This is regrettable and sad because they deserve to be happy.

But this is only from the perspective of ordinary people. Perhaps from their own perspective, they have already obtained happiness, but this kind of happiness is something that ordinary people cannot understand.

For example, a gentleman will die for his friend.

"Can you accompany me properly in the future?"

"Don't you want to go back to the sect to practice?"

"I'm not going back. I'll just stay with you."

"That's not possible, I'm afraid. Your master won't agree."

"Then I don't care. The worst that can happen is that I will betray my master."

"Don't get carried away. We don't have the ability to develop independently in the world of immortal cultivation right now. Besides, betraying your master will have a huge impact on your reputation and will be bad for your future.

Also, you will lose the resources provided by your master."

Lin Mengge was sad, and Mu Hanchan comforted her again: "Your master is different from my master. I am completely free-range, while you are spoiled.

I am so unappreciated, yet I still have to live under his throne, let alone you?"

"Don't you have thousands of spirit stones? It's enough for us to cultivate to the Spirit Condensation Realm."

Lin Mengge said resentfully, thinking that Mu Hanchan was unwilling to bear the common expenses of the two and was unwilling to support herself. "These spirit stones are non-renewable, which means that we don't have much ability to obtain spirit stones now.

The Thunder Silkworm is already dead, and the remaining two probably won’t live long.”

He added: “It is precisely because of this that I have been going down dungeons time and again to accumulate materials for the Spirit Gathering Array, in order to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible.

That’s why I neglected you, and it’s my fault.”

Mu Hanchan also apologized to Lin Mengge by the way, in order to comfort the other party and prevent him from being reckless.

"Well, I don't have to betray my master, but I have to be with you, and you have to be with me."

Lin Mengge finally said.

"Oh well!"

Mu Hanchan also said reluctantly.

Although the main materials for the Spirit Gathering Array have been prepared, there are still some other materials that are expensive. If you want to buy them, it will be a huge expense. It is best to get them yourself from the five major copies.

But he had no choice but to give in to Lin Mengge's idea.

So he had no choice but to return to Yanmo Mountain and continue to be the referee of the fight.

Although the pay is low, it is easy and stable.

When I’m free, I go to the seventeenth training ground to practice.

"Master Mu!"

Mu Hanchan opened his eyes, then immediately stood up and bowed, "Elder Xu? Why are you here?"

"Now there is a task that I want you to complete."

"What mission?"

"A match suddenly came up and I want you to referee it."

"Oh, okay….Oh, no, why did you call me all of a sudden?"

Mu Hanchan replied, then suddenly realized and asked again.

"Because all the intermediate referees have their own enforcement arrangements and cannot be deployed, this is a temporary arrangement.

Because of a conflict, the four of us had a gambling fight. After you make the final decision, you will get 16 spiritual stones as a reward, and I will also get a commission of 16 spiritual stones."

"Four people? What's their level of cultivation? Do we need to judge two games?"

"They are all in the Spiritual Realm. This is not two matches, but one, 2v2. You need to keep a close eye on their every move and make decisions according to the rules.

Don't be afraid, I have your back.

A bold decision is made.”

"..."

Mu Hanchan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Elder Xu, why did you ask me to do this?"

"Because you are capable and sensible, I am willing to give you this opportunity."

Xu Changshu replied.

Mu Hanchan's law enforcement ability is obvious to all, and people are willing to give him gifts.

He added: "I intend to promote you. As long as you succeed in this judgment, once you reach the Lingyuan realm, I can ask the referee committee to issue you an intermediate referee certificate.

Seven years later,

With this resume, you can enter the clan hall and become a clan member."

He also said: "Even if you don't want to go into politics or law, you can still be promoted to a senior judge and have a stable salary for life.

But I don't think so.

Since you obviously have a bright future ahead of you, why do you have to stay here and be a judge in legal battles for the rest of your life?"

"Okay, thank you Elder Xu. I'll take this mission."

Mu Hanchan replied.

Half a month later, Mu Hanchan returned to Huanshui Manor.

He just looked very tired, but the moment he saw Lin Mengge, all his tiredness disappeared.

"Is everything going well?" Lin Mengge asked with concern.

"It's okay, just one or two of them seemed dissatisfied, but they didn't say much."

"What does that mean?"

Mu Hanchan then told Lin Mengge about the process of enforcing the law and judging the duel between the four Lingyuan realm great perfection monks.

"All four of them committed a foul?"

“Yes, so we were forced to terminate it in the end.”

"Did you get the money?"

"I got it. The reward is 16 spirit stones."

Lin Mengge asked in confusion: "Then why did Elder Xu come to you?"

"He said that I have outstanding abilities and he intends to promote me."

"Don't believe the lies of the superiors. If it doesn't benefit him, will he help you?"

Lin Mengge said.

Mu Hanchan thought about it again, reacted, and said, "Because I may be the only one who is suitable to judge this duel."

"How to say?"

“Because when the verdict was made, I heard that they were direct descendants, but when they came on stage, two of them wore black and two wore white.

It's based on the regular fighting attire of Lingyuan Realm.

So I don’t know who they are.”

"What do you say?"

"I issued 11 yellow cards, 7 orange cards and 4 red cards in total, and eventually sent them all off, so the match came to an end."

Lin Mengge was puzzled and asked, "Didn't you say that the participants wore red and blue clothes and used red and blue flags?"

"Those below the Lingyuan realm, those above the Lingyuan realm, and those in the Lingling middle realm and below are all wearing black and white clothes, with a three-flag system: warning, severe warning, and being sent off or judged as losing.

If there are multiple players, they will be sent off, and if there is one-on-one, they will be declared the loser."

"OK then."

"They seemed surprised that a nobody like me would dare to make such a strict judgment on them. However, since Elder Xu was watching and everyone was watching, they had no choice but to obey."

"Yes."

Mu Hanchan thought for a moment and said, "I think Elder Xu is probably afraid that they might suffer casualties!
After all, they are all descendants of the royal family and have noble status.

It would be difficult to report if any of the injuries were serious.

And those who knew his identity did not dare to accept this judgment.

Even if they accept it, they will not dare to strictly enforce the rules. Then they will definitely die, which is what Elder Xu does not want to see."

"Isn't it a regular duel?"

“They were wearing regular clothes, but it wasn’t a regular fight, it was a fight to the death.

Theoretically, it can be applied to the deathmatch rules.

It doesn't matter who happens, just see who is alive in the end.

But in order to keep them all alive, Elder Xu asked me to use the normal fighting rules, so no one died or was seriously injured."

"what?"

"Because Elder Xu might think that I am the only one who is so stubborn."

"OK then."

Lin Mengge asked again: "What are you going to do next?"

"Go to the Equipment Refining Association and see if I can learn something. I'm very interested in equipment refining, but unfortunately I don't have the talent for it."

"Going out again?"

"Yes, but I will stay with you for half a month before I go out, and practice well with you."

"Ok."

Lin Mengge said contentedly.

Then, she snuggled intimately into Mu Hanchan's chest.
