I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"Alright, alright, I understand what you're saying, and I know you want my help, but I won't. Okay, I should go take care of my own things and go have some fun with the girls. As for you, you can go find whoever you want, but don't come looking for me or bother me. Doing so won't benefit anyone, and you should all be clear about that."

"If you don't understand, then pretend I didn't say anything. If you do understand, that's even better. Anyway, these are not difficult things for me. They are quite simple for me. There is no difficulty or challenge. I just need to follow the steps."

“You don’t need to ramble on here. You just need to know that we really need your help, and you should know that very well.”

Zhang Ruochen was fully aware of all the nonsense Fang Yu was spouting, and he was practically sick of hearing it. But even so, Fang Yu showed no intention of helping, which was a real headache for them. This was completely unexpected. They had thought they could easily persuade Fang Yu to help with just a few words, but they hadn't expected that Fang Yu had no intention of helping at all.

"Well, you know how special my situation is right now. If I help, I'll become a scapegoat, and why would I do that? Think about it, right? So, find someone else for this scapegoat job. Don't come to me; it's pointless. No matter how much you ask, it won't change anything. If it can't be changed, then don't ask anymore, because it's useless, right? That's the logic, isn't it? I don't want to be a tool for your mission, so don't come to me. Even if you do, it won't be of any use or meaning." "I also hope you can be honest and stop thinking about those messy things. Even if you do, it's useless and meaningless. You should understand that. So, just do what you need to do and don't focus your attention on me. Even if you do focus on me, it won't change anything or have any impact. The only possible result is that you'll gain nothing and lose everything. To be honest, placing your hopes on me is a sure way to lose. So don't put your hopes on me, because it's pointless and worthless."

"Even if you place all your hopes on me, it's completely useless. If I were even slightly useful, you wouldn't be wasting so much time and energy talking to me. To be honest, I understand everything you've done, I know it all, but sometimes I really can't help you because it's not my business. If it's not my business, I won't meddle. The only thing I should be concerned with is finding pretty girls to have a good drink with, chat, talk about life, and exchange ideals, right? That's what I should be doing." And you should have resolved those tragedies, instead of creating so many scapegoats for me like you do. Don't you think it's going too far to use me as a scapegoat? I know your thoughts, I know your intentions, and I know why you want to do this—mainly to trap me. This way, you can completely control me and no longer worry about me getting out of control. You could say your idea is perfectly correct and flawless. Honestly, if it were me, I would definitely do the same. So, from my perspective, your approach isn't actually wrong.”

"However, you've come to the wrong person. Your ideas are correct, your plans are correct, but you've come to the wrong person. You shouldn't be coming to me; you should be going to those bastards. Coming to me is useless. No matter how much you come to me, it's useless. No matter how much you think about it, I'm of no use to you. If I were of even the slightest use, you wouldn't be wasting so much of my breath."

"Alright, alright, you guys should go do your things. I should go chat with some pretty ladies about life; that's what I should be doing. Originally, I wanted to resolve the tragedies, but I figured you'd all try to stop me from doing so. Since that's the case, there's no point in trying, because it's just a waste of time. And if it's a waste of time, then there's even less reason to do it. Honestly, you guys are shameless and outrageous. I don't even know what to say to you. If I say something negative, it just means one thing: I'm not very good with words. So, you need to think about me properly and stop thinking about those bad things. Those bad things really shouldn't be thought about." What's the point of overthinking? It's completely pointless. I'm not rambling; I just want you to understand this principle. If you don't, the end result will only be that you get hurt, and your ignorance will affect many more people. Whether you get hurt or not isn't important. What's important is that I need you to do some things for me. What those things are, you don't need to worry about. These are things only you can do. Don't think about those who can't do it. Since they can't do it, your thinking is useless because they simply can't meet your standards. Since they can't meet your standards, don't waste your breath and time saying these useless things.

Fang Yu's earnest persuasion was meaningless to Zhang Ruochen, who shook his head and said in a very calm tone.

"So you still don't want to help, right?"

“I’ve already said I’m definitely willing to help. But you shouldn’t do it this way. I hate it when you do it this way. I know I have no choice but to help, and you’ll keep bothering me. In this situation, I have no other option but to agree to help. So I can choose to help, but only if you don’t do it this way. You should have a proper talk with me, talk about life, talk about ideals, or try to entice me with enough benefits, instead of trying to drive me away or making me a scapegoat. That’s not a good thing. I don’t want this to happen, and I don’t want it to happen.”

"I hope you can understand this. If you don't understand, then you should go and learn properly and stop causing trouble here. If you still don't understand, then go and ask Big Black Cat what he said. Little Black, you hurry up and come out and have a good talk with my little brother about life and reason with him. Let him understand what he should and shouldn't do. Don't always listen to those bastards and those old fogies. There's really no need to listen to those old fogies. Listening to them too much won't do you any good, at least not with me."

"Their only goal is to make me a scapegoat. That's their only objective, so I've never shown them any kindness. I hope you understand this, and I hope you can comprehend it. But I feel you don't seem to understand what I'm saying, which is truly regrettable. I don't know how to articulate this anymore, or how to explain it to you, because I've already explained it very clearly. But unfortunately, you don't understand at all. If you don't understand, then don't ask me anymore, because it's meaningless and worthless."

"Stop talking nonsense, okay? You should tell us the situation so we can find it ourselves, instead of wasting our breath here talking to us."

“You’re right. I should tell you the situation and let you find it yourselves. But can you really find it? I don’t think you can. In fact, there’s absolutely no way you can find it. You don’t have the ability or the skill. Honestly, that’s the truth. I’m not joking. You should know that. Don’t think about those other nonsense things.”

"Alright, alright, no need to ask anymore. Asking won't do any good or make any sense. I can't possibly go into detail about these pointless things. You just need to do as I say. Of course, you definitely won't do as I say, since I'm just a scapegoat. How could you possibly do as I say?" "I just hope you understand this: stop thinking about all that nonsense. Thinking about it is pointless and worthless. The end result will only be self-humiliation, with absolutely no benefit. You should be very clear about this, and you should understand it perfectly well. I don't need to say more or ask more. You should already know all this. So, I hope you can clear your head a bit and stop thinking about those bad things."

"The bad things you mentioned are just your own thoughts. Whether those things are good or bad, that doesn't seem to concern you, does it?"

"What you said is absolutely right, absolutely correct, absolutely perfect, and I agree with everything you said. It really has nothing to do with me, and I completely agree with it. But there's one thing you probably don't understand: those things are exactly what I want to accomplish, those tragedies I want to change. So don't waste your breath or time here. Just do as I say. Whether you can do it or not is your problem, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

"There's one more thing, and I'll tell you honestly. People who should be telling this shouldn't ask me. Even if you do, it won't do any good. I can't change these things. These things aren't my responsibility, nor are they under my jurisdiction. You should know that very well, so I don't need to waste my breath here. I just hope you can understand this and stop thinking about those bad things."

"Alright, you should go do what you're supposed to do. Don't waste your time on me. It's useless. Absolutely useless, not at all. I just hope you understand this, and I hope you realize this, and stop thinking about those bad things."

“Brother, I understand everything you’re saying, but sometimes I really don’t know what to do. You should know that, right?”

"Of course I know all this, I understand all this, and I know all this, but sometimes it's not what I understand or know. Sometimes I have to understand. Because what I've experienced is far beyond your imagination, and what you're experiencing now is really not good."

"Alright, the world still needs you to live. Hurry up and save the world, don't think about these things."

"Why can't I think about these things? It should be very clear."

"Sometimes when I tell you you're stupid, you won't admit it and will argue with me. You're already incredibly stupid, you know? You're absolutely, utterly stupid. It's really a headache, to be honest, it's really a headache."

"You're a headache, so you shouldn't stay here. There's no point in you staying any longer."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. It's pointless. Even if it were useful, it wouldn't be something you can do. What you should be doing now is getting stronger as quickly as possible, not talking nonsense. This nonsense is of no use to me, so stop talking nonsense. Even if you keep talking nonsense, what will the end result be? The end result will be a waste of time and energy. If you keep wasting time, it won't do you any good. Since it won't do any good, then don't talk about it. Just do what you're told. If you do it well, there won't be any problems. If you don't do it well, then there's nothing I can do."

"Alright, it's time to go do what you're supposed to be doing. Don't waste time here; any more time will just cause you a headache." (End of Chapter)
