Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 160 Life is full of regrets no matter what choices you make.

Li Mochou was filled with anger and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Lu Zhanyuan's right hand.

Was it a casual chat with an old friend? Or a secret rendezvous with He Yuanjun?

Her voice was eerily calm, but her eyes held a chilling despair that could burn everything to ashes.

Lu Zhanyuan froze, his face turning deathly pale. He never expected that his long-hidden affair would be exposed by Li Mochou in a single sentence.

Since things had come to this, he simply stopped pretending and shook off her hand.

"So what if it is? Mo Chou, you are too obsessive and always want to control everything about me. You even want to control what I eat and what I wear. I really can't stand it anymore!"

Yuan-jun is gentle and kind; I only feel comfortable when I'm with her!

"Can't take it?"

Li Mochou laughed, a mournful laugh.

"You swore to me that you would stay with me for life! So I abandoned my sect for you and married you!"

Now you say you can't take it?

Lu Zhanyuan, how could you betray me like this!

Li Mochou, recalling everything she had done, even trying to salvage the relationship after her rebirth, couldn't help but find it utterly ridiculous.

Lu Zhanyuan is not worth her doing all this.

Looking at the tears and hatred welling up in her eyes, Lu Zhanyuan felt a pang of guilt, but it was quickly overwhelmed by his longing for He Yuanjun.

"Perhaps we were wrong from the beginning. Now Yuanjun and I are truly in love."

"Don't worry, let's get a divorce."

"Wrong? Divorce? Hahaha!"

Li Mochou slowly raised her eyes, the last trace of warmth in them completely extinguished, leaving only an icy ruthlessness.

"Lu Zhanyuan, in my life, Li Mochou, there is no divorce, only widowhood!"

Before she finished speaking, her aura changed drastically.

A chilling killing intent, accompanied by an insidious hatred, ultimately coalesced into a deadly palm strike.

This palm strike landed squarely on Lu Zhanyuan's chest, shattering everything in front of him into pieces.

Li Mochou felt as if she had fallen into complete darkness.

"Am I dead again?"

Li Mochou looked around at the darkness, completely bewildered as to what was happening.

"Li Mochou".

The sudden sound in the darkness startled Li Mochou.

"Who! Who's speaking!"

Li Mochou looked around, her eyes filled with panic and fear.

Who wouldn't be frightened by such a bizarre situation?

But the voice in the darkness did not answer her; instead, it continued speaking to itself.

"In your first life, you chose revenge and ultimately died from the poison of the Love Flower. You still couldn't forget Lu Zhanyuan."

I granted you a second life, but Lu Zhanyuan still betrayed you, and you still killed him.

Do you want a third life?

Will he still be entangled with Lu Zhanyuan in this third life?

Li Mochou calmed down after hearing this.

In both her lives, she was always drawn to Lu Zhanyuan, only to end up heartbroken each time.

Looking back now, it was really foolish.

Li Mochou shook her head, a poignant smile appearing on her lips.

"No."

"Oh? You've come to terms with it?"

"I just realized one thing."

"What's the reasoning behind that?"

"No matter what choices you make in life, there will always be regrets. And the relationship between me and Lu Zhanyuan was one that should never have started."

Entangled for two lifetimes, that's enough.

I've realized he's not a good man.

Why should I waste my whole life on him?

"Haha, it's great that you understand this principle."

Life is but a fleeting few decades; there's no need to be overjoyed by what you gain or overly saddened by what you lose.

Once you see through these things, you won't be trapped in obsessions for the rest of your life.

Li Mochou's expression softened, and she finally revealed a gentle smile.

"Although I don't know who you are, thank you for letting me see all of this clearly."

"Still want revenge?"

Li Mochou shook her head.

"I've already experienced the pain of a lifetime for someone who is destined not to love me, and I don't want to go through it again."

Letting go doesn't mean letting him go, it means letting myself go.

"Okay, very good."

The sound disappeared, and the darkness before Li Mochou's eyes gradually faded away.

A thousand sorrows rage within.

Gu Qianbei looked at the sleeping Li Mochou and smiled faintly.

"Manipulating dreams is really tiring. But it feels pretty good."

Suddenly, a tear slid down Li Mochou's cheek.

The tears, crystal clear, slid silently down her exquisite cheeks.

"Ding! Detected martial arts spirit, Lover's Tear. Li Mochou has seen through love and formed a drop of Lover's Tear, containing the ultimate emotion."

Trigger the Spirit Wine recipe: Love Wine. Brewing materials: Lover's Tears, Love Flower. The union of two hearts can refine a worldly heart.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianbei gathered golden light in his right hand and caught the teardrop in the form of a container before it fell.

With the lover's tears before him, Gu Qianbei seemed to see Li Mochou's entire life through that single tear.

"I never expected such an unexpected gain. Can love wine refine a worldly heart? Refine the heart, indeed?"

Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then put the Lover's Tears into the Cangguang Gourd.

"Looks like we'll have to make a trip to the Valley of Heartbreak."

Just then, Lu Liding arrived with Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun.

Lu Zhanyuan was startled to see Li Mochou slumped over the table.

"Is she... is she dead?"

"No, I'm just drunk."

Gu Qianbei said slowly.

"That's good, that's good..."

Lu Zhanyuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but soon a conflicted look appeared on his face.

"What? You don't want her to die?"

Gu Qianbei was somewhat surprised.

I thought Lu Zhanyuan wanted Li Mochou dead, but I didn't expect him to behave like this.

Lu Zhanyuan gave a bitter smile, his expression complex and difficult to decipher.

He Yuanjun, standing beside him, gripped his hand tightly, her face filled with worry.

"My husband..."

"I'm fine, Yuan-jun."

Lu Zhanyuan patted He Yuanjun's hand and looked at Gu Qianbei.

"I once loved her, and I once thought about spending the rest of my life with her."

But that was because I had never seen the real her.

When we first met, she was like an angel, so innocent and lovely that she captivated me.

But as we spent more time together, her stubbornness and violence made me very uncomfortable.

What I find even more repulsive is her controlling nature.

She seems to want to control everything about me, and she doesn't allow my happiness to be unrelated to her in any way, otherwise she'll make a scene.

I'm scared. I don't want to continue seeing her, but I don't have the courage to break up with her.

Because her martial arts skills are better than mine, I'm afraid she'll kill me.

So I chose to deceive, and I chose to never return.

I thought that since she couldn't leave Zhongnan Mountain, our fate would be over.

I never imagined that she would betray her sect for my sake and wander the world.

I can't help but feel guilty.

But I also know that I can no longer truly love her, so I am destined to be the heartless one.

But if you asked me to kill her, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I've already betrayed her feelings, how could I kill her too?

Therefore, I beg you, sir, to spare her, as long as she swears not to harm my family.

Lu Zhanyuan's attitude was sincere and did not seem like he was lying.

Gu Qianbei looked into his eyes and could only sigh in the end.

Human nature is complex, that's just how it is.

Is Lu Zhanyuan acting?

maybe.

Was Lu Zhanyuan's expression of genuine emotion?

Maybe.

Sometimes people don't even know what they are like.

But whatever the outcome, that is the truth.

Just then, Li Mochou opened her eyes.
