Chapter 1447 I would love to know more about you as well, Master.
"And what if...
You cannot do that? What if no matter what you do, no matter how strong you get, you still can''t avenge your wives?
What if you were forced to live with the fact that your wives died because of you and you still cannot avenge them? How would you react then?" "I won''t let such opportunity arise, there is always a way out, you just have to se-" "You do not meet your wives in your current life, Nux. You actively avoid them and force yourself to not pursue them. I do not know the reason behind your actions, but isn''t your situation somewhat similar to my father''s? Aren''t you helpless because of certain situations as well?" Before Nux could even complete his sentence, Aeliana cut him off. "..." Nux had no answer against that retort. His reason for not approaching his wives was different, they were not his real wives, however, this wasn''t something he could reveal to Aeliana. Not that it mattered, what Aeliana said wasn''t incorrect. Despite him having reasons for his actions, in the end, even he was stuck in a situation where he could not meet his wives for 10,000 years. Isn''t that ridiculous? A man who swore to be next to his wives all the time was now forced to stay away from them in order to pursue his goals.
To see where all of this is going and...
Change everything for the better." "Change everything for the better...?" "Of course. You don''t think I am going to give up, do you?" Suddenly, his usual, confident smile returned on Nux''s face and, "It doesn''t matter what situation I am in, it doesn''t matter what sort of sick game fate tries to play, in the end, I will come out on the top and find my happiness." Nux''s goal had never changed. To spend eternity together with his wives. So what if he is unable to form his Law? He would simply force himself to do it and leave this darned place to meet his wives again. "Find my happiness..." Aeliana, who seemed to be more affected by those words than Nux expected and realized, muttered to herself.
Looking at her disciple and the confident smile on his face, a small, imperceptible smile appeared on her face. "Your goals are quite grand, Nux. What you wish to achieve isn''t easy. I have been living for thousands of years and I still haven''t achieved it." "I was never the one to be afraid of a challenge." Nux chuckled. "As I would expect from my disciple." Aeliana nodded continuously. "I would stand up to your expectations, Master." Nux bowed lightly. Aeliana stared at him for a while, then, "I have decided." She spoke up. "Hmm?" Nux tilted his head, waiting for Aeliana to finish. "The Disciple''s Will shall be discontinued from today onwards." "What?" Nux was taken aback. "There is no point in continuing that tournament anymore, with how one-sided it is, rather than motivating my people, it is only pushing them to despair. I cannot allow that anymore." "...but my punching bags." Nux pouted. Aeliana glared at her disciple but in the end, she decided to ignore him. "Anyways, in place of the Disciple''s Will, we will start something else." "Something else?" Nux frowned, Aeliana on the other hand, smiled at her disciple and, "Despite you being my disciple for almost 200 years, there are still things that I do not know about you, that is unacceptable. So from now on, every year, you are supposed to come here and have a talk with me, the topic of conversation doesn''t matter, your past life, your current life, your goals, the time you spent with your wives, whatever it is, doesn''t matter. Of course, I would share my stories as well, as a being who has lived for a long time, I have quite a lot of interesting stories, I believe you will be interested in those stories, Or do you not wish to spend time with this old master of yours?" Aeliana questioned and, "Are you kidding me? How could I ever reject such a thing?" Nux''s smile then widened and, "I would love to know more about you as well, Master.
This is much better than venting my anger on a bunch of punching bags."
