Chapter 162 - Enlightenment

Others seemed to realize that Bai Rouyun's ability to push her limits was the result of familiarizing herself with the pressure, and they all felt rather embarra.s.sed.

They all knew that Bai Rouyun was a new student like them, but she had clearly done a much better job at using her time within the Gravity Tower than they had.

Because they tried to do something their body could not handle, they were now injured and could no longer stay within the Gravity Tower as their injuries could become worse, so they left with sullen faces. However, none of them blamed Bai Rouyun.

She had never told them to follow her lead, nor had she paid them any attention. It was their own a.s.sumption that they could jump straight into doing the same thing as Bai Rouyun. Thus, they felt no hostility towards her, and were merely ashamed of their own actions.

Bai Rouyun could not help but feel rather surprised. So far, most people would blame others for their mistakes, but she saw no hostility in these people's eyes, and she could not help but feel amazed.

These people were actually reasonable!

She shook her head, and while she was quite surprised, she continued to focus on her training. Her time within the Gravity Tower was limited, so she had to ensure that she got the most out of it.

However, this encounter made her understand that she should not generalize people from the various factions. Even if she had previously thought that all the members of the sects and factions were selfish and arrogant, she found that many of them were actually decent; however, those few arrogant masters overshadowed her impression of the others.

Bai Rouyun did not feel guilty towards those people who had gotten injured, as she had no hand in their injuries, but she was still enlightened, and realized that she should not generalize others.

Although she had suffered in her past life, she should not be so blinded by hatred that she would blame everyone for the crimes committed by others.

When Bai Rouyun stepped out of the Gravity Tower, she was still deep in thought, and did not pay attention to the Elder who was in charge of the Gravity Tower.

The old man looked at Bai Rouyun with a bit of confusion in his eyes. He had expected another round of making fun of her, but when he opened his mouth, he noticed the vacant expression in her eyes.

Seeing that she was preoccupied, he slumped back into his seat in disappointment. He felt that she was an interesting woman; someone who could help release his boredom while hiding in this inst.i.tute. In fact, he had already decided to bring her with him when he returned to his own academy.

Bai Rouyun was unaware that the old man she had only met once had already planned on headhunting her.

In fact, she was not against leaving the Blue Water Inst.i.tute as she did not have any emotional attachments to this place, apart from her friends.h.i.+p with Qin Huiling.

Bai Rouyun smiled slightly as she left the Gravity Tower. After her rebirth, she thought that her life would be focused on gaining revenge.

She had already realized that while she still wanted her revenge, she was no longer living for this purpose alone. She wanted to be with her husband; she wanted to improve herself. She wanted to become a better person.

She had previously thought that her mentality had changed, but she had not realized that she still held onto some of her prejudice and thoughts from her past life.

When she noticed that those experts had gotten injured from following her movements, she did not feel sorry, but she had expected them to cause problems for her. She had already prepared herself for a confrontation, and thus she was surprised to find that many things happened differently from what she expected.

She had been an expert that stood at the top of the continent in her past life, but it was not until now that she realized that she had her own prejudice and arrogance back then. Something which had been wrong.

She had looked at all the sect members and faction representatives with hostility. They would usually rob her of her treasures and items, but she would return the favor whenever she encountered them alone.

Now, she realized that she could not hate all of them indiscriminately; that she could not blame them all for the actions of a few. She herself was just as bad as they were, and sometimes she had taken her anger out on innocent people.

The more she thought about it, the more complicated her mood became. This world promoted strength. Those who were strong ruled, while those who were weak succ.u.mbed. While robbing others was wrong, no one would say anything about it if the expert was strong enough.

But Bai Rouyun was not one who followed the rules; what mattered to her was her own morals and ethics. She had previously used revenge as her reason, but now she understood that this was not always in the right.

While she could not change the things she had done in her past life, she decided to never act on anyone who had not harmed her in this life. She also decided to speak with Li Moyun about this when she saw him next time.

Suddenly, she felt her body lighten. It felt as if the energy within her body broke through an invisible bottleneck, but while it was roaming her meridians much more vigorously and energetically, she did not feel an increase in her cultivation base.

She could not help but feel somewhat confused. Why would her power suddenly become vaster like the endless ocean, while her cultivation base stayed as it was before?

She sensed that something important had happened, but she simply did not know what it was due to her lack of knowledge.
