"Master," Chen Wudi said as he sat down next to the campfire and stared at it in a daze, "I defeated the King of the Southern Mountains, so why did that woman tell me to get lost?"

Ren Xiaosu kept quiet. He wanted to tell Chen Wudi that human nature was complicated and some people were just not worth saving. But he was also worried that he would destroy Chen Wudi's innocence.

If there really were a Great Sage in times like these who ended up getting persuaded by Ren Xiaosu to become an ordinary mortal, he wondered if he would have done a good or bad thing.

Ren Xiaosu did not know if it would be a good thing or not if he managed to persuade a real Great Sage to become a normal person in this world.

But at this moment, Wang Fugui chuckled next to him. "You're too much of a busybody. You would've saved yourself a lot of trouble if you adopted the mindsets of 'none of your business' and 'none of my business' in your life."
