"And what about the mortals before us?"
"Sometimes, it's not that we have no desires or don't care about anything, but rather that our desires are too great."
Yae no Miko crossed her arms over her chest, her mind simultaneously conjuring up images of Kage and Katsura.
"Does the last sentence refer to your son-in-law?"
"Even gods who have existed for thousands of years experience sadness and grief. This statement seems to refer to the God of Thunder."
Snowflake couldn't help but analyze what Yae no Miko said in the story.
[I think so. Didn't Wan Ye say before that your son-in-law seemed to care about nothing?]
Even a wealthy son-in-law can't truly be completely detached from worldly concerns, or perhaps his goals and ambitions are simply too grand.
Judging solely from Zhongli's evaluation of Guixu, what Guixu experienced was certainly not simple.
[This is more than just simple (covers face)]
The most mysterious character in Genshin Impact right now is probably the son-in-law.
[Not only that, there are also Zhongli and Wendy; these two old men have many mysteries surrounding them as well.]
Even now, I'm still wondering what exactly the son-in-law and Wendy said to each other on the snowy mountain.
The more mysterious, stronger, and more handsome he is, the more charming he becomes. Add to that Gui Xu's charisma, when will he finally be added to the gacha pool? (crying)
"Even those who claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune will leave in anger after being defeated by their junior brother."
"The elderly swordsman still harbors resentment."
"I want to have another match with the disciples I taught."
"So, does someone who seems to have no ulterior motives truly remain completely unmoved when they personally defeat their master and senior brother?"
Yae no Miko lowered his hands and looked at the two senior and junior siblings in front of him, asking them a question in return.
"What does 'Yachino no Hitoshi' mean..."
Upon hearing this, the female disciple from Yemen asked with a somewhat complicated expression.
Yae no Miko sighed upon hearing this.
"With a sword pointing in one direction, countless variations can occur."
"To claim the title of the world's best swordsman is no easy feat for a mortal."
"You need to wield a sword with both hands and constantly shatter the dreams of others."
"This also includes his closest and dearest relatives."
"Therefore, only by being persistent in his desire to become the best in the world can he temporarily put his pain aside and continue to move forward."
"When that desire disappears, he will begin to doubt himself, struggle with fear, and become the person he is now..."
Yae no Miko raised her head slightly and slowly began to speak.
"Just like my good-for-nothing friend."
The divine child smiled helplessly at this point, then shook his head slightly.
I now strongly suspect that the friend Yae no Miko mentioned is the God of Thunder.
Be confident and get rid of your doubts.
[So, the God of Thunder issued the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order because of some other reason?]
【What else can they do? They can't just release it for no reason, can they? (facepalm)】
"Simply put, the Eye of God embodies Mr. Tsuchimon's wish to become the best in the world."
"It was this desire that propelled Mr. Tsuchimon forward by constantly shattering the dreams of others."
"And now, having lost the Eye of God, he has also lost this wish."
"That's what led him to become like this."
Qiu Nian looked at Tu Men, who was squatting down, holding his head, and muttering something, and began to explain.
[Summary of the Master's Son-in-Law (Smiling broadly)]
"So, Master has been enduring this kind of pain all along..."
Upon hearing this, the female disciple of the Earth Sect spoke with a complicated expression.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
"Father, Master, Senior Brother..."
Tumen squatted on the ground, clutching his head in fear.
It was as if only by doing this could he feel safe.
Just then, a sharp shout came, and then the senior brother of the Earth Sect walked out from the side.
He secretly followed Ying and Paimon and the others.
"Anxi...why are there two Anxi...?"
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
Tumen stood up and looked at his senior brother in front of him, both surprised and frightened.
"You're here to get revenge on me, right...?"
"I know... I shouldn't have..."
Tumen looked at his senior brother with an apologetic expression, wanting to explain something.
I really don't have a good impression of you.
"But I don't want to hear your apology either."
"After all these years, I've long since figured it out."
“You didn’t do anything wrong back then. It was me… I was too proud to leave the sect.”
Anxi looked at the earthen gate in front of him and explained with a complicated expression.
"I believe that the vast majority of the people you defeated did not blame you."
"On the contrary, we will place our hopes on you and wish you to go further."
Anzai looked at the deranged Tsuchimon and said with a serious expression.
Ying's expression gradually turned serious as she listened to the conversation between the two brothers.
Upon seeing this, Yae no Miko and Akiyasu revealed faint smiles.
Why is there a close-up of the expressions of Ying, Yae no Miko, and the son-in-law?
Am I mistaken? I think I smell a conspiracy specifically targeting the protagonist (facepalm)
You're not the only one who feels this way.
“I know that your wish has been taken away, so you cannot meet our expectations.”
"But you shouldn't take away their dreams!"
"Never stop honing your swordsmanship and become the best in the world—isn't that what you taught them?!"
Anxi stared at the earthen gate before him and questioned it loudly.
"But who knows, maybe one day they'll end up like me."
"Relying on sheer courage to pursue the title of the best in the world might have been a mistake from the very beginning."
"If one day, they will become like that too."
"I'd rather they stayed where they are and didn't go any further..."
Tumen seemed to be gradually returning to normal. He looked at his senior brother and shared his thoughts.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Yae no Miko's face gradually disappeared.
Qiu Nian, however, still wore a faint smile as he watched the two fellow disciples.
Chapter 179 Observing Tumen's Autumn Twenty
Have you asked them what they think?
Anxi looked at the earthen gate in front of him and questioned it.
“Master...When you saved me from the pirates, I decided that I would follow in your footsteps for the rest of my life.”
"I don't know if I will feel the same pain as my master in the future."
"But I know that I don't want to stop now."
The female disciple of Tumen looked at Tumen in front of her and expressed her thoughts.
"I want to be able to stand tall and proud one day and tell everyone that I am my master's disciple."
"He is the successor of the Mingjing Zhishui School!"
The female disciple placed her hands on her waist and looked intently at the earthen gate in front of her.
"It's not just my junior sister..."
"That's what we all think."
Upon hearing this, the male disciple of the Earth Sect nodded in agreement.
"you..."
Upon hearing this, Tumen's expression became quite complicated.
"See...you can actually entrust your wishes to them."
Anxi looked at the earthen gate in front of him, spread his hands, and said.
"I have never experienced or understood the idea of having my wishes taken away."
"But when you easily defeated me, I also felt the sound of my wishes shattering."
"But...it's like entrusting my own wishes to you."
