Chapter 180: Chapter 180- A Weird Place Part 5

Liu Guanyi only smiled slightly with his countenance still maintaining his unbreakable cool, not offended by her words at all.

"That's why since it is ridiculously challenging and insane, that taking on it will definitely cement your reputation and make your reputation glow brightly like never before! None of the past and future princesses of Zahard will even match a fragment of your glory!" Liu Guanyi spoke calmly and firmly, bringing some calmness to Adori.

Adori seemed to calm down as she became quiet.

Finally, after a minute or so, she had completely calmed down as her muscles relaxed and her eyes became clear again.

"Forgive me, Liu, I lost my cool back there, it was really unbecoming of me." Adori spoke softly as she apologized sincerely with her head bowed down.

Liu Guanyi waved his hand off and spoke with a calm and understanding tone. "Don't worry, I am not angry at all. Instead, I completely understand your way of thinking and why you lost your bearings."

"To you, natives of the tower, the fake sky that hanged up there is the limit. This is because you grow up here and were influenced by the environment and the ideas that revolved around the place, which makes up your common sense."

Liu Guanyi pointed his finger to the top and spoke with a smile. "However, to me, someone from out of this tower and different world, your common sense doesn't mean anything to me and the fake sky that seems to always encompass your whole world isn't the limit. Instead, this fake sky is akin to a birdcage."

"However, the limits of your views aren't naturally bad, per se, they are just the natural course of things. Because, we, as creatures, are very limited in our ways and no matter what, we can never know of everything. Even I have my own limits." Explained Liu Guanyi calmly.

"Just like when I came into the tower at the first time, I didn't think that there is this endless energy called "Shinsu" that's always present anywhere in the tower and gives the residents here incredible longevity and potential."

"However, now, I know that it's possible and shinsu isn't a myth." Liu Guanyi looked at the two who listened attentively to his words and smiled.

"What I want to emphasize is that rather than accepting our common sense as the absolute truth and law of the world and being content with what we know, we should question and always test our current knowledge."

"If your common sense shackled you, go strive to go beyond it! Seek the answers that always elude you with all of your efforts and grasp them!" Liu Guanyi said as he clenched his hand.

"Then, you will be able to see that what you consider as the Sun and Moon in the tower aren't absolute as they seem to be and find out that you have always been trapped in a small space and only see from a tiny opening hole like a frog in a well."

"Let those pompous and arrogant leaders of the ten great families drown and rot in their riches, luxury, and glory while I continue to improve ceaselessly."

"And then, there will be the time when I eventually surpass them and kick them off their high thrones, and show you how far they are from omnipotence and omniscient!" Liu Guanyi said with ardor and confidence as he sported a grin on his face.

After Liu Guanyi's burning speech, Xin looked at him with what seemingly stars in his eyes while Adori seemed to mull over his words seriously with a solemn expression.

Then, she let out a deep sigh. "As expected of you, Liu, your wisdom truly humbles me. It seems that even after all these years, I still have a lot to learn from you."

"Are you secretly an ancient and expert scholar with all your wise words?" Adori asked genuinely with curiosity. She really wanted to know how he could become this experienced and wise.

"Haha, of course not." Liu Guanyi laughed with amusement.

"Although you are quite right that I am a bit old, from the common sense of the tower, I am still pretty young. After all, I am only around four hundred years old." Said Liu Guanyi casually.

"Four hundred years old… you are still very young. However, even so, you can teach many things that even thousands of years old Rankers couldn't do." Said Adori with a hint of respect.

"Oh, and what about yourself, how old are you, Adori?" Asked Liu Guanyi curiously.

Although they had always been together for the past few decades and adventured together, there were still a lot of things they hadn't talked about. One of them was namely, age.

Asking a woman her age was a sensitive issue in general, after all.

But considering what they had been through together all these years, asking it right now wouldn't be a problem, especially since it was him who was the one asking Adori, and considering her character that was different from most women in general, it should be fine.

"I don't how old exactly I am, but if I am to explain it myself… I will say that it's around one hundred years or slightly below it." Said Adori calmly, not slightly bit embarrassed by her "old" age.

"I see, what about you, Xin?" Liu Guanyi turned to ask the yellow-haired scout.

"Me? I am around eighty years old, I think?" He said as touched his chin with his finger, a little bit unsure whether his estimation was accurate or not.

"Then we are all still extremely young and full of potential. We only need to keep our pace and our rigorous training and everything will become much better for us in the future."

"And, Adori, although what I suggested previously seemed extremely ridiculous, it's probably not that hard. After all, if it is really as dangerous and hard as most people think, it doesn't really make any sense at all to just put it up as nobody will be able to really pass it." Said Liu Guanyi.

"Hmm, what you say might be true. He won't make that just to show off even more, there's no point in that. It will just stain his reputation. Also, nobody has actually tried it so everything is just speculation anyway, and being all negative is just the same as being all positive." Responded Adori.

"I get what you want to convey, Liu." Said Adori as a little smile appeared on her face.

Liu Guanyi smiled. "Now, that's more like you. Adori that I know won't easily back down from challenges no matter how hard they are. Instead, she would welcome them with open arms as she knows that with hardships and trials, she will be able to improve."

A relaxed and free smile appeared on Adori's face. "I guess I have to pull all-nighter all year for dozens of years now, you are truly harsh, Liu."

"That's mean I am a good coach, aren't I?" Answered Liu Guanyi casually.

Although the two were conversing casually like usual, the third person who was standing in silence as he seemed to be confused as he didn't know what the hell they were actually talking about.

They used some kind of cryptic and vague words to imply what they wanted to say, after all.
