“Let me ask you, in your generation of disciples, are you the only one left?”
“Yes. The rest all died, either to heavenly tribulation or on the battlefield,” said the old man with a flash of pain in his eyes. He was recalling his memories of his time as a disciple of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect.
“Were you unable to protect them because you weren’t strong enough at that time?”
The old man was silent for a long time before simply sighing.
“There’s nothing more painful than watching your comrades die in front of you while powerless to save them. In the Spirit World, I lost five hundred of my good brothers, and I’m profoundly aware of that pain and helplessness. Although I didn’t give up any chance to get stronger, the heavens are simply merciless and are set on pulling away everyone I love. That’s why I swore to one day topple these blind heavens. I feel like I didn’t do enough, but you are even worse. For your own face, you’d betray senior Qu’s good intentions. Don’t be in a hurry to interrupt me. Let me finish. You consider senior Qu’s kindness as a kind of charity, a kind of pity, or perhaps a kind of insult. However, do you remember when I first came to the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect? I will always remember how Boss Bao greeted me with two punches. You said that because I didn’t ask for help from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, I didn’t treat you as family. But what about now? Aren’t you also doing the same to senior Qu?”
The old man’s expression changed slightly. Huge waves rose in his heart. People were able to see others clearly, but it was difficult to see oneself clearly because there was no mirror.
Now, Long Chen had raised a mirror in front of him, allowing him to see himself. He was too obstinate, never reflecting on his actions. He was willful and had hurt someone without even knowing it.

Long Chen nodded inside. Things were going well. It was time to strike while the iron was still hot. “Old man, the era is changing. Many powerful existences are reviving, and heavenly geniuses are rising like spring bamboo. When the great era comes, the competition will grow even bloodier. For you, senior Qu is willing to take responsibility for everything that happened in the Eastern Xuan Region. Even though she is a Netherpassage expert, being surrounded by enemies like that is still very dangerous. Why does she do that? Isn’t it because of you? Do you not feel anything after she does so much for you?”
The old man looked into the distance, not saying anything. Long Chen suddenly realized just how strong the old man’s feelings were toward Qu Jianying. However, his pride did not allow him to submit to a woman. The old man felt that accepting the jade case was equivalent to lowering his head to Qu Jianying.
Both of them were too obstinate and didn’t know how to properly communicate. As soon as they opened their mouths, it was like gunpowder went off. They always ended up saying tough words, words that could easily hurt the other. They might feel regret over that, but they refused to apologize.
Long Chen knew that one reason the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect could be so unreasonable in the Eastern Xuan Region to the point that no one dared to touch them wasn’t just because of how powerful the old man was. Another part of it was because of Qu Jianying’s secret care.
Long Chen knew the old man’s character. Since he had accepted it, he wouldn’t go back on it. Long Chen had already succeeded. Having achieved victory, he didn’t hold back his smile.
“Old people shouldn’t be so angry all the time. You should learn from me. A man should be tough to outsiders but magnanimous to their family. Who doesn’t have some flaws? Forgiving others for their mistakes isn’t a bad thing. You forgive others, they forgive you. Sometimes there’s no such thing as fairness between two people or any need to talk about reasons. As a man, carrying a bit more, enduring a bit more, doesn’t that only prove how magnanimous we are? Splitting hairs over minor things, is that how a man should behave? If a woman cries when she’s wronged, then a man must smile and wave it off when he’s wronged. This is another kind of cultivation, an even higher realm. Don’t you think so?” asked Long Chen.
The old man looked up and down Long Chen. He nodded. “No wonder you have so many women and don’t end up fighting with them. You really have some talent in this regard.”
The old man truly admired Long Chen. When he had met Qu Jianying in his youth, the two of them had felt extremely strongly for the other, but their tempers had been too explosive.
Whenever they were together, they would argue or fight. At first, the two of them were mostly evenly matched. When they fought, both sides would win or lose some. 
However, later, after Qu Jianying broke through to the Netherpassage realm, their arguments grew worse. After all, Qu Jianying had become a Netherpassage expert, and she wished to guide the old man. However, with her temper, she wasn’t suitable for it.
As for the old man, he had never been good at listening to instructions. Hence, their conflicts grew more intense. Qu Jianying thought that the old man was jealous of her, while the old man thought that Qu Jianying was looking down on him. In the end, both sides said many heartless words, and they stopped seeing each other.
They had finally encountered each other again in the Grand Han, and despite both feeling some remorse, they couldn’t put words to that emotion. Instead, they immediately started arguing again, unable to communicate at all.

That was why the old man admired Long Chen. He had always thought Long Chen was a monster for being able to have so many beautiful women who never argued with each other or with him. 
In the end, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect was packed with men. The women played the traditional role of a housewife in the background. Even if there were female disciples, they were all tomboy fighters.
The male disciples all had similar tempers, and that wasn’t something most women liked. As a result, Long Chen was like an exotic animal in that regard.
