Chapter 471 Sima Lang, the Mediator
Chapter 471 - Sima Lang, the Mediator
Guan Yu managed to find his former wife in the other world, but he suffered from a shocking discovery.
She already married a commoner in the city, and they already had several children together, living a peaceful, happy life.
Heartbroken, Guan Yu clenched his chest and gritted his teeth. He walked away from the family and walked straight to a tavern for a drink.
Surprisingly, Guan Yu's drinking habit stopped him from drinking alcohol. He ordered several jars of tea instead of wine, which was odd for someone who came to a tavern for food and liquor.
The tall scholar did nothing but drinking all day without causing trouble to the locals. Still, everyone was wary of him because of his tall and muscular statue.
Sima Lang's soul found Guan Yu later when the latter was drinking quietly by himself.
Guan Yu also detected Sima Fang's soul spying on him, but he ignored it, continuing drinking tea as if they were wine.
It was weird to the locals and Sima Lang. They could tell that Guan Yu wanted to get drunk, but he drank tea instead of wine, which was absurd.
'Does he have a screw loose? If I remember correctly, he was a valiant general, but he was too prideful in the other life. How come he is acting like a fool here?'
Curious by the action of Guan Yu, Sima Lang decided to take risks. He unsummoned his soul back into his body and visited Guan Yu with his real body.
The governor barged into the tavern and stood by Guan Yu's side, cupping his fist and greeted him.
"Greetings, great angel. Mind if I join your table?"
Guan Yu slightly nodded, but his eyes and attention were still somewhere else.
Sima Lang sat on the seat across Guan Yu's table and ordered another sea of tea. When he looked at Guan Yu's face, he saw sadness and reluctance.
"You'll feel better if you have someone to talk to. Do you want to tell me what bothers you?"
Guan Yu took a deep breath as he pulled himself back from his daydreaming. He looked back at the young man's eyes without releasing his killing intent.
His stance was neutral. He did not want to harm Sima Lang, nor did he want to befriend him.
"Have you regained your previous life's memory, young man?"
Guan Yu knew that Sima Lang was a weak angel, so he figured that this man should have the other life's memory as well.
"Of course I do. Every cultivator gets their memory back."
"Have you ever compared which one is superior?"
"Always. Every past experience I have is a lesson for the future. I always recalled my mistakes in the other life, and I never repeated them."
Guan Yu chuckled, "Is that so? Have you ever found yourself in a predicament at all in both lives?"
Sima Lang gulped. Although both of his life experience was peaceful, it was full of obstacles, betrayal, and infighting among the officials, especially when he was serving Wei.
Fortunately, nobles could not hire mercenaries in Tong's kingdom, and he was the only clan who had the authority. Therefore, his life was more comfortable here.
Sima Lang did not have to worry about any mini-civil war, revolt, triads, or death threats from his colleagues anymore.
He gave Guan Yu a wry smile, "Yes, and no. My previous life was somewhat treacherous since I have to be wary of my colleagues. This life is better."
