Chapter 1351 - 1350: He Is Gone

Life in this world, we cannot always be bound by the past and remain stagnant.

Therefore, we must look forward; although the past cannot be forgotten, we should not become deeply trapped and stagnant within it, as it will only entangle our steps and lead us astray in unverifiable emotions.

Thus, Lu Yu's words earlier can be said to awaken the dreaming soul, prompting Paul Smith to gain some insight.

"Oh?"

Hearing Paul Smith's words, Lu Yu had a slight smile on his face. He looked at Paul Smith before him and said with a smile: "Have you figured it out?"

"Those who have passed, the past cannot be pursued."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Paul Smith said coldly: "Your words truly enlightened me."

"During the past years, I have been immersed in the pain of losing my wife, which has brought me great suffering."

At this moment, Paul Smith smiled with relief, then shook his head and said: "But what you just said made me understand an important truth."

"Those who have passed, the past cannot be pursued. My wife has died; no matter how sad I am, she won't come back."

Now Paul Smith spoke calmly: "Instead, I might as well live each day of the rest of my life well, as a form of comfort to her."

"It's good to have such thoughts."

While speaking, Lu Yu had a hint of a smile on his lips. He looked at Paul Smith in front of him and said: "Those who have passed cannot be resurrected no matter what. Instead of that, live each day well, as it can be considered a comfort to them!"

While speaking, Lu Yu had already come to Leng Qingqiu's side, giving people a sense of calm with just one glance.

"I didn't expect someone so young to have such insight; it's truly surprising."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Paul Smith spoke with a deep voice full of unexpected surprise: "Truly a distinguished young talent, enviable."

"I am not some distinguished young talent."

Upon hearing Paul Smith's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said thoughtfully: "I'm just a fallen playboy."

While speaking, Lu Yu spoke slowly, and his pronunciation of the words 'playboy' was particularly clear.

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu's body slightly jerked. He looked at Lu Yu in front of him, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Now he really didn't expect Lu Yu to still consider himself a playboy!

Lu Yu now is much more outstanding than he was five years ago. As a high-ranking member of the Assassin Alliance, his abilities are very formidable, capable of rivaling many large noble families with the strength of one person.

If such a person were placed in high society, he would certainly be a remarkable figure, attracting the attention and admiration of various forces, perhaps even having many beauties throwing themselves at him.

If an internet celebrity gives a slight push online, he could easily gain a large number of fans and effortlessly make his debut.

Such a person is truly formidable, unmatched by many renowned young talents.

Yet, this very person now still calls himself a playboy, and such a statement leaves Leng Qingqiu deeply shocked.

"This gentleman is being too modest."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Paul Smith spoke calmly: "In my lifetime, I have seen many distinguished young talents, but there are very few who can match your demeanor, sir!"

"I truly do not believe someone like you would call yourself a playboy!"

While speaking, Paul Smith was full of smiles. At this moment, as he looked at Lu Yu in front of him, he said: "Just based on Mr. Lu's earlier sentence 'Those who have passed, the past cannot be pursued,' I can affirm that Mr. Lu is certainly not an ordinary person!"

While speaking, Paul Smith's face appeared profound. Just from that sentence from Lu Yu, he could confirm that only someone with special experiences could say such words.

Those who have passed, the past cannot be pursued!

Such words, who knows how much refinement and pain were needed to come to such a conclusion. Such things require an immense amount of experience to arrive at such understanding.

"This sentence, I merely share a similar experience with you."

Upon hearing Paul Smith's words, Lu Yu said: "In the East, there is a saying, 'Those fallen from the heavens, meeting never having been acquainted!'"

"Since everyone has shared similar experiences, it's a commonplace thing to find resonance in such words!"

While speaking, Lu Yu's voice carried a hint of melancholy, giving people a strong impression of deep, sorrowful reminiscence.

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Paul Smith's face instantly showed a hint of shock.

He never expected Lu Yu had such experiences.

"If it's not too presumptuous to ask,"

While in shock, Paul Smith asked: "With you..."

"My family."

Before Paul Smith could finish speaking, Lu Yu said calmly: "Five years ago, all my family members perished; except for me, no one survived!"

While speaking, Lu Yu's voice carried a hint of sorrow. Observing his eyes closely, one could easily find a trace of profound grief flickering in them.

The Lu Family's experience five years ago will forever remain a wound in Lu Yu's heart; even though he won't stay lost in it again, the pain is unavoidable.

After all, they were his family!

Now Lu Yu was full of melancholy, giving people the impression of a young man possessing undue steadiness and warmth.

Now Paul Smith had every reason to believe that the Lu Yu before him had many untold experiences.

The Lu Yu before him must be travel-weary, with a very rich background.

Someone like this saying those words is actually very normal.

"So that's the way it is."

Paul Smith slowly spoke, his face showing a hint of indifference as he said: "Still the same words, those who have passed, the past, cannot be pursued!"

"Meeting without having been acquainted, today I'll give you this long dress for free, sir. You wouldn't mind leaving some contact information, for the reminder you gave me today, I will have generous gifts for you when you unite with your fiancée."
