Chapter 189 - Lie Flat (3)

It was just that the fear of death was restricting him.

Suddenly, a person sat beside him and looked up at the sky with him. He smiled and asked, “What are you looking at?”

It was Lu Ping!

Qin Jun turned to look at Lu Ping and asked in surprise, “Mr. Lu, why are you here?”

“I was taking a walk after dinner. I just happened to see you.” Lu Ping casually made up a lie.

Qin Jun didn’t say anything more. He got up and said, “Mr. Lu, I still have to go home to cultivate. I’m leaving first!”

He just didn’t want to stay with Lu Ping.

He was going to cultivate? Of course, it was impossible.

Lu Ping knew it clearly in his heart. He grabbed him and said with a smile, “Kid, you’re slacking off in class every day, but you want to cultivate when you go home? Why don’t I believe you?”

Qin Jun smiled, “You have to work hard occasionally. Don’t tell me Mr. Lu doesn’t want me to work hard?”

“Hehe, today’s not bad! Sit with me for a while!”

Lu Ping pulled Qin Jun back forcefully.

Qin Jun was a little surprised. Compared to the school, the current Lu Ping was a little more shameless.

Qin Jun sat back down.

Lu Ping decided to have a good chat with him. Of course, Lu Ping wouldn’t care about family issues.

He just asked curiously, “I don’t understand why you don’t cultivate properly? You Don’t have to lie to me. I know very well that you’re slacking off.”

Qin Jun was much more relaxed.

He looked at the setting sun in the sky and sneered, “What’s there to cultivate?”

“Hmm?” Lu Ping was a little confused. “Isn’t cultivation good? Cultivation can make you change your life!”

“It’s useless, everything is just an illusion! Cultivation requires resources and money. If we want to obtain resources, we have to endure the exploitation of the higher-ups!” Qin Jun looked at Lu Ping and smiled. “Just like you, Mr. Lu! You might be able to create a value of 100,000 star dollars a month for the academy, but the academy will only give you a salary of 10,000 star dollars!”

At this point, Qin Jun said disdainfully, “Or we’ll risk our lives! In any case, the lives of low-level cultivators are not worth anything. Cultivation requires money, and if we want to get married in the future, we need a house. Even if it’s a low-level house with a spirit-gathering array, just buying and maintaining it will also require a large sum of money. We’ll have to endure the exploitation for the bit of money that we’ve exchanged our lives for. In the end, we’ll have to hand it over to those high-level cultivators. In this process, I will have to bear a large amount of desire for resources and desire for star currency! In the end, my result will most likely be that I will be stuck at a certain cultivation level and will never be able to advance! And then, in the midst of all that pain, I will welcome the arrival of death.” Qin Jun tilted his head and looked at Lu Ping. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Lu, am I right?”

Lu Ping frowned slightly and did not answer.

Qin Jun said again, “Since life is destined to be like this, then why do I still need to work hard to cultivate? Do I need to work hard to create value for others? I just need to obediently work until I graduate from university and find a decent job. Although I earn less, I’m also less exploited by others. Then, I can do something that I like every day. I don’t need to consider any resources, I don’t need to consider the house, and I can then lie flat for the rest of my life. Isn’t that good?”

The two looked at each other.

To a certain extent, this thought couldn’t be said to be wrong.

It was even a portrayal of the life of many cultivators.

The child’s words represented his dissatisfaction with the current rules.

Suddenly, Lu Ping smiled and raised his hand to give him a thumbs up.

“Amazing. If I had this kind of thought process when I was your age, I probably wouldn’t have become a teacher,” he said softly. “But, for me, I want to change my life, I want to change my family’s life, so I have no choice.”

Lu Ping did not say that Qin Jun’s thoughts were wrong.

This made Qin Jun very surprised. He originally thought that Lu Ping would refute his thoughts.

But what he did not expect was that Lu Ping only said why he was working hard.

Lu Ping looked at Qin Jun calmly.

To be honest, he was not angry at Qin Jun, nor was he disappointed.

Everyone had the right to choose their own way of living.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Let’s go and eat something. I’m a little hungry! I will treat you!”

Lu Ping, who had always been stingy, decided to treat the child to something to eat.

The two of them quickly arrived at a stall. It was a large food stall and a barbecue. The food was very cheap.

After the two of them ordered food, the two of them played with their skewers, Lu Ping smiled and said, “Lying flat is not a bad way of living. There’s no pressure either. However, this way of living is only for oneself. To live only for oneself requires a lot of courage. Have you ever thought about what you would do if someone important to you died in front of you?”

This sentence stunned Qin Jun.

Someone important... did he have someone like that?

His irritable father at home?

Qin Jun was very angry when he thought of his father, but when he thought of him dying in front of him, he felt his heart clench.

Lu Ping sighed. “A while ago, one of my students died in front of me. At that time, I blamed myself. I hated myself for not being strong enough! If you were prepared to lose someone important at any time, I think lying flat would be a good choice...”
