Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Tao Bin is Not a Deserter
“If you’re not willing to settle, then don’t give up!”
“But—”
Tao Shen cut him off, “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that we will end up in a tragic fate just like Luo Hanchen’s daughter?”
Tao Bin pursed his lips and nodded.
Facing his brother, he was still very frank.
Tao Shen smiled gently, then suddenly his smile faded, and he became very serious, with a hint of ferocity, asking, “In your eyes, am I just a failure?”
Tao Bin was startled.
He met his brother’s sharp and piercing gaze, mixed with a bit of icy residue, and found himself at a loss for words.
This side of his brother was far too unfamiliar.
Although he had lived in the Shaolin Temple since he was young and rarely lived with his brother, their brotherly affection was still very good, and in his impression, his brother had always been a gentle and reliable sibling.
But at this moment, his brother made him feel an awe and chill.
It was an indescribable chill, a profound sense of danger that made one feel fearful from the bottom of their heart.
“I can protect our family. You go bravely pursue your dreams. If you really have to undertake a very dangerous mission, there might be some who wish harm upon our family, just give me a heads-up. It might be a classified mission, but if you just report your concerns to the higher-ups, I think they would arrange for someone to come over and protect us tightly, right?”
“All your worries, in the end, are just too naive, too childish.”
“Xiao Bin, when you are able to face dangerous missions, you would certainly have grown up by then. At that time, you will understand how naive and ridiculous the current you is, and that there’s no difficulty in this world that can’t be solved.”
“You must remember, there are always more solutions than problems.”
Tao Shen felt it was too tiring to speak while looking up, so he lowered his head and rubbed his sore neck, saying lightly, “Alright, you can come down now.”
Tao Bin was completely startled.
He stood on the tree, stunned for a long, long time, until the biting chill of the high place and a gust of cold wind woke him up.
He completely calmed down, his brother’s words echoed continuously in his ears.
Yes, what difficulties are there in this world that cannot be overcome!
Moreover, he hadn’t even reached the point of undertaking such dangerous missions yet, was it too early to worry about these things now?
How many people will never encounter such events in their whole lives, and aren’t they still doing deeds that help the people?
Even if he truly faces dangerous missions in the future, couldn’t he arrange everything in advance before setting out?
The events Luo Hanchen faced were just once in a thousand years incidents.
These stories of the forebearers are only meant to make the descendants more vigilant, to guard against dangers before they arise, not reasons for them to shrink back!
If one shrinks back because of the misfortunes of the forebearers, without trying to forge ahead, wouldn’t one just become a coward?
Tao Bin had never liked his name, even though his father always said that he gave him that name hoping he would excel in both letters and martial arts.
But the name felt more like a pun on “coward” to him.
He did not want to be a coward; this name constantly reminded him that he could not be one.
Some always say that names and people are contradictory.
Therefore, he hoped to become a brave person, and not an incompetent who shies away from challenges.
“Brother, I will strive to achieve my dreams! I will become a hero who protects our country and our home!”
“Nothing can make me turn back!”
“I will never be so hesitant again, like a coward!”
What do you think?
