"Change? What kind of change can there be in this world? Is that the reason you chose this road of no return?" The Great Mentor strongly disagreed with Kuyi Tulan's assertion and immediately retorted. In his view, these were all excuses.
In fact, the Great Mentor knew the real reason Kuyi Tulan had chosen this path.
Kuyi Tulan feared loss because everything he had was hard-won, a point clearer to the Great Mentor than to anyone else.
Yet, what truly drove Kuyi Tulan's fear of loss was not the difficulty of his acquisitions, nor his capacity to cherish them, and certainly not his ever-growing ambition.
Everything has a root, and that root lies in the very nature of desire.
Initially, Kuyi Tulan was just an impoverished child from a blacksmith's shop. His world was small, so naturally, his desires were few. At that time, he only wished for a full stomach and the freedom to chat idly in the smithy. That alone would have satisfied him.
