Chapter 118: On the Verge of an Outbreak

“Is this love? Using your lover to gain a breathing space for your own ambitions. Does Parthasarathy love Diya?” Women are often the most easily moved by love because they are destined to be more sentimental than men. I admit that I feel sorry for Sharma’s situation, but I haven’t thought about the issue of love and hate between Diya and Parthasarathy.

When the question was raised, Chengyuan and Chengzhen leaned over to Ruoyue, and from the expressions on their faces, it was clear that they were also concerned about the issue.

I thought the question was stupid. What kind of man would use his love to create a “safe” environment for himself? Unless he didn’t love her at all, I thought Uncle Johnny would give a negative answer, but I didn’t expect Uncle Johnny’s answer to be so affirmative: “Patel loves Zia.”

As if he had seen through my doubts, Uncle Johnny’s eyes seemed to have seen a lot in life, and he placed a hand on my shoulder. “Chengyi, the forms of love in this world are strange and varied. You are Li’s disciple, which means that your heart will be full of weaknesses before it is truly tempered. like a child, with emotions that are easily expressed and less hidden by an adult’s wisdom. Don’t be surprised, Li himself was like this, very naive, but also deep enough that the world could not see through him. Nowadays, you are only true, but not that deep. You also can’t understand Patel’s love, because in your opinion, love is love, pure and without impurities. But how can you understand that some people in this world, even if they love to the bone, still have that kind of rationality that they think is putting some things above love. Since love is above love, it is not wrong to use it, even if it hurts oneself, because he thinks it is worth it because he has judged with his “reason” and what he has gained is greater than the love he has lost. Patel is just like that.

I was speechless. Yes, Master Johnny had accurately assessed my position. Just as my master had commented on me since I was young, love is difficult and can cause weakness in my character. It is understandable that I cannot understand, because I would think that what Patel pursues is not worth more than a pure love. Everything in the world is like floating clouds, power, money, and status are all like this. Only then can the sincerity of feelings not be changed, and it is difficult to turn back.

This view may be criticized by my master as foolishness, being obsessed with feelings and unable to let go, no different from Patel’s obsession with his own ambitions.

But if they have seen through it all and become immortals, how can they still be so attached to the mortal world? The unrelenting flames of passion burn away the myriad forms of the world. Master is also in the midst of it, and that is why he is so devoted to the Kunlun Road.

No matter what I think, the story of Sharma and Patel continues.

They are in a delicate balance, and their warm relationship is no different from before, because it is Dia who maintains this delicate balance.

As for the time before that, the sincere relationship between the two of them was so long ago that it was almost forgotten. Sharma knew in his heart that the sincerity between him and Patel had been lost forever on that night when the moonlight was blown by the wind and when Zoya said that they would never be apart.

They had regained their peace with each other, a way of getting along that they had to do because neither of them dared to make a move.

The only difference was that they were both working hard and practicing like crazy. Sharma didn’t quite understand what Patel was doing, but he knew exactly what he was doing. It was because of the sense of crisis in his heart that he couldn’t let the out-of-control Patel surpass him too much. Although he understood that Patel’s talent was destined to make him impossible to run ahead of Patel, he couldn’t fall too far behind, right?

This is Sharma’s goal for himself! Because the advantage of spiritual suppression has been neutralized by Patel, if he surpasses himself too much… Sharma dares not imagine the result. He always feels that there is an indescribable danger behind him that will explode at any time.

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. He and Patel have long since bid farewell to their youth and entered their thirties, the age when men are supposed to mature.

Dya still hadn’t appeared, not a single piece of news, as if this angel had never existed in this world.

But Sharma knew that she was still alive somewhere, because Patel was so calm and composed, which was enough to explain everything! The sad thing was that Sharma couldn’t get any news from Patel, because Patel had said that he would refuse any request he made.

So Sharma was more miserable than Patel. He had to weave beautiful lies in front of his parents to give them some comfort in their suffering.

“Father, Dya is doing well in England. You don’t know how much the British like her. Of course, our Dya deserves such love.”

“Father, Dya is going to travel around the world. She wrote to me that this will make her life more fulfilling.”

Sharma kept weaving such lies, and the more elderly father and mother would listen with a smile, but Sharma also sensitively realized that this was more than a clever father who would be completely deceived. He would ask, when will Dia come back? Where is Dia’s letter? Can I take a look?

Sharma found it particularly difficult to cope with such situations. He sometimes had to wonder if his father didn’t believe him at all, but was just forcing himself to believe it, so that he could feel better about the lies he was telling.

Sharma knew very well how much his parents loved Diya. What could be more painful and distressing than the feelings of a father who had lost his daughter? At such times, Sharma even hated Diya. Why was she so cruel? Did he see the white hair on his father’s head and the wrinkles around his mother’s eyes? Did he ever really feel the tears that flowed from their eyes? In India, women have always had a low status. Parents who can love their daughters so much must love their daughters very much.

And this is not Sharma’s only torment. The greater torment comes from Patel. He will still return to the estate and act as if nothing has happened. Even when his parents can’t suppress their longing for Diya, he will still see their family’s sorrow in his eyes. Whenever this happens, Sharma feels like he wants to kill this ‘viper’ who is watching the show with a cold eye! Has he never cared about the years of parental love?

Sharma spent five years in the temple, practicing diligently and enduring painful suffering.

“The temple has its own set of standards for judging ability. Five years of diligent practice has allowed me to amaze all the elders in the temple with my achievements in practice. But compared to Patel, all of this is dim and bleak. Because of the issue of caste, the elders are unwilling to express their appreciation, but they must admit the fact that Patel’s achievements are dazzling and can be compared to any genius in history, and even surpass the elders of the temple. Except for that one genius who was not worthy of being called a Mahatma, he was no match for him. The brilliance of Pater could overshadow anyone. “The voice of Uncle Johnny was full of bitterness.

The genius he was talking about, from the perspective of the religion they believe in, I can only think of one person. Gautama Siddhartha, who is the supreme being of Buddhism—Sakyamuni!

How high did Uncle Johnny praise Patel? I couldn’t believe it. Patel was such a brilliant man.

This story is so depressing that it completely blocks out the rays of hope. I am not looking at Patel’s success with a biased perspective, but from the conversation between Patel and Sharma, I know that Patel’s character is not proportional to his abilities. His character is so extreme that if someone like this advances infinitely and reaches a supreme position, it will cause a disaster.

“Do you smell a disaster?” Uncle Johnny didn’t know how many times he had read my mind, or if he had not read my mind, but the story had developed to this point, and people would consider it a problem.

Uncle Johnny asked, and everyone here nodded. Uncle Johnny smiled bitterly and said, “Yes, it is indeed a disaster. To stop it from continuing to develop and spread, it is your master, Li. However, before all these chaotic events, I had a conversation with Patel, an extremely important conversation.

After the temple’s strength evaluation, Sharma was in a state of despair because Patel had gone further and further away, and his footsteps were so fast that he could not keep up. He was worried about his family, himself, and the danger of Patel… But Dia was his weak point, limiting Sharma from doing anything.

In this state of despair, Sharma felt that he had to talk to Patel, even though this was the weakest way to do it, but it was the only way he could use at the moment.
