It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

li shiyu couldn't help but bite his lips in exasperation. his expression was a little dark.

"without any intervention, you could have had an even brighter future. but, you were manipulated by the very person you hold so dear to walk on a path that you shouldn't have walked on. yet, you still believed that it was your own decision…" lord card's sigh sounded beside li shiyu's ears. "you're really a pitiful person."

'me? a pitiful person?' li shiyu's gaze turned absent-minded. the warmth he received when he was young was just a fraud?

at this moment, the image changed to the moment when he went to find his elder brother on planet azure…

"is anyone here?" han jijyun had been running in this endless tunnel for a long time. he stopped in his tracks. his wild emotions had all been in a wreck after running so furiously but he managed to calm down now.

"is this the devil of my heart?" han jijyun remembered what boss warned him in the past. you could never guard against the devil in your heart. no one knew when it would appear or what would cause it to appear. however, once the devil of your heart explodes, you would enter a predicament that you locked yourself in.

unless you defeat the devil of your heart, you would forever be stuck in a trance. you might turn into an idiot, a lunatic, or even die in an explosion because you were unable to control the energy in your body.

the devil in one's heart was extremely frightening. people who cultivated would always try their best to prevent themselves from developing a devil of their hearts. however, the devil of their heart could also be an opportunity for the right people. it was the greatest danger but at the same time, it was the greatest opportunity a cultivator could get.

han jijyun remembered the scene when he was controlled by the devil of his heart. he whispered to himself, "i didn't expect the devil of my heart to be li lanfeng."

this revelation was surprising but yet reasonable. before he entered the military academy, he had always thought that he was the only strategist of boss's team. to be the best he could be, he studied very hard for his role, and no one around him could compete with him for his role. so, naturally, when he was at the scout academy, he grew to be confident and proud of himself.

but, after entering the military academy, when li lanfeng appeared, han jijyun felt a sense of loss. at the start, he didn't mind about him but as he interacted with li lanfeng more and started to understand his mind better, he thought that if god had already made someone so excellent, why did he make someone even better?

li lanfeng would do anything to gain victory, even resorting to more unscrupulous means. han jijyun was full of respect for his resolve but also filled with contempt. this contradictory feeling was slowly chipping away his idea of a great strategist. in reality, he looked down on li lanfeng when he could not think of more upright means to resolve the problems he faced, but when he constantly outperformed him time and time again through those devilish means, he couldn't deny his existence anymore. in the depths of his heart, he felt that li lanfeng might be a better strategist than him. it was a feeling he couldn't ignore.

this was the first time li lanfeng made han jijyun felt defeated. the second time he felt defeated was when they were on planet haijiao. in the face of a life-or-death situation, li lanfeng was much more decisive and ruthless than him. as for him, he hesitated and cowered in fear during that time.

two clear defeats made him feel useless. although he managed to adjust his emotions with the help of boss and his brothers and managed to find his own position, in the depths of his heart, li lanfeng was still a thorn that couldn't be taken out of his heart. that person constantly reminded him of his failures.

han jijyun laughed at himself mockingly. "i actually felt that that should already be the case. it looks like my heart is more honest than me."

it was time to destroy the devil of his heart.

when han jijyun made that decision in his heart, his gaze turned cold. at this moment, he became a confident person who had no weaknesses.

suddenly, the tunnel collapsed around him. the dark corridor turned bright in an instant.

han jijyun was very calm at this sudden change. he raised his head and looked at his surroundings to realise that he was now in a huge hall.

his vision was blurry. han jijyun could only faintly see that there was someone sitting on a high throne far away looking down on him.

"you're here?" the person on the throne had a familiar voice. following the sound, the blurry vision cleared up and the face of the person appeared in front of han jijyun.

"li lanfeng!" han jijyun said firmly.

even if he knew that the person in front of him was fake, he knew that with the devil of his heart around, fake is real.
