Since ancient times, there has never been a class that betrayed its class.
There are only individuals who betray their class.
Su Han knew that as a beneficiary and a genius martial artist in the eyes of everyone, he could absolutely be high above, acting as a noble as a matter of course, enjoying boundless benefits.
Such actions would be considered normal by everyone.
But he also knew very well that this was not what he truly wanted. He had already clarified the path he wanted to take through the various experiences of his previous life.
What he lacked now was the power to walk that path.
Perhaps some would find such behavior foolish.
Some are born to be strong, some are born to be weak. For eagles born to soar, hunting earthworms and hares is the natural order, the cycle of the Great Dao.
But this natural Dao does not represent civilization.
Perhaps the absolute gap between the strong and the weak cannot be eliminated, but he only hopes that this gap can be narrowed as much as possible. To put it more practically, he doesn't want most people to live so humbly.
Perhaps some are born cowardly, a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved, difficult to become strong. Their fate is either to live a mediocre life under the protection of the strong, or to die in the natural selection of the law of the jungle without the protection of the strong.
For such people, the world gives them a thousand choices.
But there is only one they don't have: the choice to become strong.
Even so, Su Han still wants to give them this choice.
In poverty, maintain your own virtue; in prosperity, benefit all under heaven.
That was how he answered Zhuge Xi back then. It was indeed a perfunctory remark and didn't reveal his true thoughts, but that doesn't mean that this sentence isn't one of his aspirations.
In less than half a minute, Su Han's thoughts flashed quickly.
Then he figured it out, his whole body relaxed, and he smiled softly.
Since he transmigrated to this world, he has been struggling to survive and cultivate, but he has rarely thought about what he wants to do and what waves he wants to make in this world.
Now he has finally truly determined his goal.
If not, his thoughts would not be clear and his heart would be uneasy.
He would be letting down his past self of several decades.
As a transmigrator, if he avoids this point, it would mean that his heart is weak. Even if he yearns for that lofty ideal, his actions would be motionless, saying one thing and doing another. Could he be called a complete petty-bourgeoisie?
Su Han couldn't help but joke to himself.
A moment later.
The Golden Hall disciple finally brought Zhang Tie here, with a respectful expression, constantly apologizing to Zhang Tie, afraid that he had offended Su Han, the favorite in front of the hall master.
Even though Su Han entered the hall much later than him.
"Alright, I don't blame you."
"You were just doing your duty. Go back."
Su Han shook his head. As a pragmatic idealist, he had to integrate before he had enough strength to smash through this world, and he couldn't be too abrupt.
"Yes!"
The Golden Hall disciple was overjoyed and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The big stone in his heart finally landed with a bang. He quickly excused himself, cold sweat unconsciously appearing on his forehead.
He even felt a sense of surviving a disaster.
It seems that this noble is quite easy to talk to.
He pondered, quickly leaving, still needing to guard the gate.
"Zhang Tie, what's wrong? Weren't you learning blacksmithing with Li Wu?" Su Han motioned Zhang Tie to sit down, poured two cups of tea, handed them to Zhang Tie, and then asked curiously.
Zhang Tie scratched his head, looking a little troubled.
But he still told Su Han the whole story.
Su Han's expression was subtle after listening.
It seems that this Senior Li Wu also knows about the Eternal Underworld, and may even know more than others, which is why he assigned Zhang Tie the task of forging weapons.
The aura of this world, and the aura of the outer realms?
Judging from a small sample, perhaps in Senior Li Wu's eyes.
The Eternal Underworld is indeed not considered the territory of this world.
This also brings up something he has always been curious about.
How exactly are the boundaries of heaven and earth defined?
Yuan Xingkong once told him that the Eternal Underworld is an outer realm outside of Da Li, and also a heaven and earth outside of Da Li.
From this context, the entire Da Li represents his world.
Is the division of heaven and earth directly based on national borders?
But if so, how are those alien races outside the Northern Border to be counted?
He couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that it was all too vague. He could only say that the division of heaven and earth was extremely strange, as if in the eyes of everyone, there was no normal territory outside of Da Li?
Thinking of this, Su Han's heart shook.
Could it really be so?
He had previously wondered why the Outer Path had always been suppressed by Da Li martial artists, and had always been shrinking within the territory of Da Li, rarely fleeing far beyond Da Li? Perhaps there is such a reason.
But why is there no normal territory outside of Da Li?
Or rather.
Is this territory of Da Li really normal?
He couldn't help but lower his head, looking at the snow-covered ground.
He couldn't help but realize that this originally clear and distinct world had become hazy and blurred, filled with doubts. All kinds of thoughts seemed to be self-inflicted, but they allowed him to get closer to the essence of the world.
But that was built on the foundation that he had the ability to explore. If it were an ordinary person, perhaps ignorance would truly be bliss.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at Zhang Tie and comforted him:
"Don't worry, I should also be going to the Eternal Underworld after it opens. You can go in with me to collect the aura of the outer realms. Senior Li Wu seems to have driven you away, but in fact, he also values you. This task is also a test for you."
Zhang Tie nodded, embarrassed to speak:
"Thank you, I'm troubling you again this time."
"No need, it's just a matter of convenience."
Su Han smiled slightly, regardless of whether others have changed or not,
It seems that this kid Zhang Tie really hasn't changed.
Just like the first time he met him.
"You don't have a place to live now, right? I'll arrange for you to live in the Golden Hall, how about that? Anyway, this place is very big, and many courtyards are empty. I'll introduce the Hall Master Yuan to you by the way."
Su Han patted Zhang Tie's shoulder and continued.
Since Senior Li Wu could entrust him with such a task.
Presumably Zhang Tie is not as simple as he seems on the surface.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Su Han. If there's anything you can use me for in the future, just say the word. I still learned some forging techniques from my master."
Zhang Tie also learned to be thick-skinned and responded.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Just as these two brothers were exchanging pleasantries, outside Peace County, above Willow Village, Zhao Tianji and Zhao Yunlan descended from the clouds. Qing Songzi below greeted them with a hearty laugh, saying:
"I have long heard of the fame of the two heroes of the Xuanwang Mansion, and now I have the good fortune to meet them."
Next to him, the "Xuan Yue Daozi" also had a smile on his face.
