Chapter 2914: Just Go For It
“No, I’m just looking at the ruins . That place is completely unfathomable, impossible to see through . ” The youth’s face turned red as he immediately denied .
“There’s no saving you . This is just having a crush, a man needs to have the courage to admit it . Plus, you’re the great Three-eyed Prodigy, be arrogant like normal now . ” Li Qiye shook his head .
“I…” The youth seemed like a different person .
“I’m not like this normally . ” He admitted that he was strange around the emperor .
Very few people could make him this nervous . He didn’t become this awkward while meeting Luminous Master for the first time .
“It’s because you like her, or dare I say, love?” Li Qiye chuckled and didn’t make fun of him: “When you become nervous and watch your words in front of someone, this person is either your boss or your crush . ”
“Love?” The prodigy didn’t want to admit this and was afraid others would find out too . That’s why he always responded with denial . Having someone tore through this thin wall left him in a difficult spot .
“You clearly care and want to show her your best sides . However, because you’re usually too arrogant yet still self-aware enough to know that it is not attractive, you overcompensate and become an idiot . ” Li Qiye chuckled .
The youth understood that he wanted to put on a good display in front of the emperor but it didn't work out .
“Why do you not want to admit it? Why don’t you want others to know, especially her?” Li Qiye asked .
“I don’t know, I was very nervous . ” The youth shook his head and put on a forced smile .
“Because you lack confidence . Three-eyed Prodigy is always imperious and arrogant before others, just not when speaking to Spiritheart . You think you are inadequate, not enough to move her . Now answer my question . ” Li Qiye said .
“I, I don’t know . ” The youth could answer .
“Because you are afraid of failure . Due to your peerless talents, you have never tasted true failure before . Even a loss or any setback was only temporary . You could learn harder merit laws and more profound arts as long as you have enough time . Those stronger than you might beat you for now but in your mind, you believe that you’re still young and weak . Just a few more years and you’ll be able to take them down . This isn’t the case for Spiritheart . If you were to court her and be rejected, that’s a true failure with no chance to try again . ” Li Qiye said .
He paused for a bit before continuing: “Thus, the thing you’re fearing is failure itself . In fact, just accepting the possibility is difficult for you and this makes you subconsciously run away . ”
“What should I do then?” The youth calmed down and asked .
“Go for it . It’s just one girl, so what if you fail? The sky won’t fall down . ” Li Qiye said .
The youth opened his mouth but chose against speaking .
“Remember, there’s at least a possibility when you try . Don’t leave it as an impossibility . ” Li Qiye told the hesitating youth .
“I feel that it, it is improper . ” The youth said .
“Improper? What are you afraid of?” Li Qiye chuckled .
“She isn’t someone like that . ” It took a while for the youth to respond .
“I see . Don’t worry, it’s just an engagement, not a marriage yet . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“I’ve heard their sects have talked about marriage arrangements . Metalkin Divine Court has prepared the ceremony . ” The youth quietly said .
“So what, as I’ve said, they’re still not married . She is still single, still Spiritheart True Emperor . If you like her, then chase after her, ignore everything else . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“And, even if she was his wife, so what, still go for it if you like her . It’s hard to find the right woman in life, let caution go with the wind . ” He added .
“That seems bad…” The youth said .
“You’re a supreme genius, don’t be tied up by secular norms . You have power and abilities, go win her over . ” Li Qiye insisted .
“Perhaps, but her fiance is Metalkin War God…” Hesitation remained .
“Metalkin War God? So? Is he going to eat you?” Li Qiye smiled .
“He should have twelve palaces by now…” The youth said .
“Ah, so you think he is more brilliant than you are, hence your lack of confidence . ” Li Qiye replied .
The youth looked around before nodding .
“Who are you? Say it loud!” Li Qiye shook his head and said .
“What?” The youth didn’t get it .
“Say it loud!” Li Qiye repeated .
“I’m Three-eyed Prodigy!” The youth got the point .
“Indeed . You are the youngest half-step in the world, the most talented in Immortal Lineage . Are you all-talk or do you live up to your fame?” Li Qiye looked him up and down .
“I can back it up . ” The youth said .
“Good . Then what are you afraid of? So what if he has twelve palaces, even if he was a progenitor, it doesn’t mean that you’re less talented, right?”
“Right . ” The youth remained confident in his innate gifts .
“So your talents are better and you’re younger too, what’s there to be scared of? Be persistent and move courageously forward with a firm dao heart and your achievements will be even more amazing . Tell me, what is your ultimate goal?” Li Qiye asked .
“To become a True God like Fardao!” The youth took a deep breath .
“There we go . Fardao is an existence that can slay progenitors! Not to mention that he’s only a twelve-palace emperor right now, you should still be confident in defeating him after he becomes a progenitor later on! To not have this little courage is an insult to your talents . ” Li Qiye said .
These words struck the youth hard, almost like someone knocking his head without holding back .
Prior to this, he had this notion that her fiance was stronger than him . This was indeed the case right now . A half-step Everlasting was weaker than a twelve-palace emperor .
But now, Li Qiye reminded him about his peerless talents . He needed to realize that he would surpass Metalkin War God if he were to become someone like Fardao . His mind became clearer now after this conversation .
“You’re right, I’ll become someone like Fardao in the future and even immortal-level progenitors can’t take me on . I can definitely do it!” The youth clenched his fists, stating his determination and building morale .
