Back in the Essence Pavilion, Immortal Peng had once said to Chu Nanping when he was less than ten years old, "Try to abandon your thoughts and desires. Each and every thought is harmful to you. Only by giving up everything can you truly have everything."
No disciple of the Essence Pavilion could actually reach this state and Chu Nanping was no exception, but he'd always been trying his best. He was indifferent to his elder brother's death, he didn't care about the friendship between Xu Xiaoyi and him, and the Dragon King's trust in him was far less important to him than the former two issues.
Only Tie Linglong made him feel different, but he'd been controlling his emotions well and seldomly showed them to anyone. That was, until he started practicing the Sumeru Mustard Divine Power.
