Chapter 633: Chapter 356: Inquiry and Trivial Matters at Dinner_2

Even the most reserved sibling among the Chen family, Chen Bi, gradually loosened up.

At this moment,

he covered his sister’s ears while she struggled to shake them free.

He whispered to the Vermilion Bird about some topics not suitable for children to hear.

Zhou Li, unable to bear it anymore, angrily reprimanded the two.

Only then did they stop, with embarrassed faces.

It went on like this.

Everyone chatted, joked and talked about daily life.

No lengthy lectures, no solemn expressions of gratitude.

Nobody mentioned anything about the Tianren Clan or any other formal matters.

This gathering, brought together for Chen Sheng,

proceeded as he had hoped.

Chen Sheng quickly joined in the fun.

While dealing with Cactus’s enthusiasm,

he and Shen Ziming talked about their meeting in Fuhai Province.

Everything,

made Chen Sheng feel alive again after a long time.

The “alive” here

is not just living as a life form,

but as a human being.

“….”

Chen Sheng raised his glass.

Gazing at the swaying wine, his eyes were slightly contemplative.

In fact,

during these several months,

there has been a lingering question in his heart.

He wondered about what he was fighting for.

It’s not that he had to find a reason for fighting.

But during this period,

every time he finished off one enemy, he would encounter a new one.

It seemed as if there was an invisible force pushing him to become stronger and keep defeating enemies.

If someone wants to kill me,

I naturally have to find a way to kill them first.

That’s the reason Chen Sheng had given himself.

However,

that’s not what he truly wanted.

He had no choice but to face it.

And only he could face it.

But now,

Chen Sheng looked at the people around him.

He saw Vermilion Bird with his lewd smile, trying to put his arm around people.

He saw the helpless expressions on the faces of Shen Ziming and Li Wuji.

He saw Chen Danggui, sulking because her brother just covered her ears.

He saw Zhou Li, who was scolding Vermilion Bird.

And then there was…

Chen Sheng turned to look at Cactus.

He looked at the girl sitting next to him, who had moved her chair closer throughout the dinner, and was now pressed against him.

The corner of Chen Sheng’s mouth unconsciously curved up.

At this moment,

he felt like he had found a reason to fight.

Although it wasn’t enough,

he didn’t want to lose these friends in front of him.

And he didn’t want to see his loved ones getting hurt.

“Let’s have a drink.”

So,

Chen Sheng slowly raised his glass.

Everyone’s eyes fell on him.

He thought for a moment,

then spoke slowly.

“To world peace.”

Everyone laughed.

“To world peace!”

At this moment,

the moonlight grew thicker.

Silver light spilled onto the wine glasses,

seeming like nectar.

The clinking sounded like music.

And then,

the wine went down their throats.

——————

That night,

various parts of the capital city were still bustling.

Although it wasn’t a festival celebration,

it could still be considered a day of reunion.

But compared to the outside world,

Eagle Body Sect had returned to its usual tranquility.

Li Wuji and Vermilion Bird had to go back to the Martial Arts Association to deal with other matters.

Shen Ziming needed to return to Yihe Gate to meet with his comrades.

Chen siblings were doing their daily training,

with Zhou Li supervising them.

As for Cactus…

As expected,

she was still following Chen Sheng around.

“You should go read a book.”

“I have something to do.”

After gently pushing Cactus to the living room sofa,

Chen Sheng prepared to leave Eagle Body Sect to search for World Consciousness.

Before the gathering began, it had asked Chen Sheng to let it go.

For one, it was not appropriate for it to participate in such events.

Secondly,

World Consciousness wanted to investigate if the Heavenly Beings’ King was truly dead.

Chen Sheng didn’t impose any further restrictions.

With his abilities,

no matter where World Consciousness was, he could sense it.

The dinner had ended,

so Chen Sheng set out to find it and clarify his doubts.

He arrived outside the Eagle Body Sect.

He carefully sensed his surroundings.

Quickly,

he located World Consciousness.

Without causing any disturbance,

he disappeared as a gentle breeze blew past.
