Chen Yan looked at his cloudy, lifeless eyes and slowly shook his head.
"No?"
Xia Xiaofeng was surprised, astonished, and even a little excited: "Why not? So many ordinary people can live happily, why can't I?"
"Because they are not called Xie Xiaofeng, nor are they the Sword God Xie Xiaofeng."
Chen Yan looked directly into Xie Xiaofeng's eyes and said, word by word, "Xie Xiaofeng was born extraordinary, so you can never be ordinary, and you can never enjoy the happiness of an ordinary person."
"Why?!
I want to know why this is?!
Am I not even qualified to be an ordinary person?
Am I destined to live in pain and nightmares?!
Master Chen, I beg you, tell me the answer!
Xie Xiaofeng's tone became urgent, and he clutched his head in anguish. Finally, he looked at Chen Yan with intense pleading and imploring, "Master Chen, it is said that you know the past and the future. Please tell me, what would happen if I chose to live in anonymity as an ordinary person whom no one knows..."
"Are you sure you want to know?"
Chen Yan took a deep breath: "I naturally know about your experience as an ordinary person, but hearing about it will only cause you more pain. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
Xie Xiaofeng remained silent, his eyes unfocused and confused, before finally becoming resolute.
He nodded: "Yes, I'm sure I want to hear it!"
"Okay! Now I'll tell you what it would be like if you chose to be an ordinary person."
Chen Yan nodded.
Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, Wuqing and several other women also came over.
Everyone was curious.
What would Xie Xiaofeng, the renowned swordsman, have experienced if he chose to live as an ordinary person...?
Chen Yan: "Xie Xiaofeng, from the moment you were born, it was as if you were born with all the blessings and favors of the gods, and received all the glory and love."
Your exceptional talent and brilliance have garnered worldwide attention.
He started learning swordsmanship at five, deciphered sword manuals at six, could recite Tang poems fluently by seven, and defeated Hua Shaokun, the "Wandering Dragon Swordsman," when he was just over ten years old.
Become an unparalleled swordsman in the martial arts world, a recognized genius, intelligent, handsome, healthy, strong, chivalrous, and upright, making it difficult for anyone to find a single flaw in you.
But this isn't the life you want.
You gradually grew tired of the endless fighting, strife, and intrigue in the martial arts world!
You hate it when people scheme against you, you're tired of people flattering you, and you don't want to see any vibrant lives die by your sword because of challenging or scheming against you!
You begin to hate your sword, hate your hands, and even hate yourself...
You want to escape, to escape to a place where no one knows you, you want to be an ordinary person, someone no one knows...
In the end, you accomplished all of these.
You fled to a little-known town.
In this small town, there is a lane called Han Family Lane, and in Han Family Lane stands a building called Han Family Building, which was a brothel.
The madam who ran the brothel was called Grandma Han.
Here, you are down on your luck, dirty, and decadent; no one recognizes your radiant self anymore.
You were very happy, so you got drunk for five days and five nights at Hanjialou, until you spent all your money and were still heavily in debt for food and drink.
Grandma Han was furious and gave you a good beating, then forced you to work as a pimp in a brothel to pay off your debts…
hiss!
A dignified swordsman becomes a lowly pimp in a brothel?!
Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, and Wuqing were all surprised. They wondered whether Xie Xiaofeng would accept such an arrangement.
To everyone's surprise, Xie Xiaofeng burst into laughter, a bright and cheerful laugh: "Great, being a pimp is wonderful!"
Chen Yan also laughed: "Indeed, you happily accepted this job. Every day you served tea and water to the prostitutes in the brothel, emptied chamber pots and wiped the floor. You were very busy, but your restless heart gradually calmed down and you enjoyed a peace you had never experienced before."
However, your life isn't exactly peaceful either.
Although you are dirty and down on your luck now, your physical and physical attributes are still there.
Many girls in the brothel offered to have sex with you for free if you were willing, but you refused.
People are asking you if you're not capable?
You nodded calmly.
From then on, everyone jokingly called you 'useless Aji'.
You don't dislike this name; in fact, you like it quite a bit.
Because in your view, being useless means not causing trouble, and not causing trouble means not hurting others, let alone killing people.
You really like this name, and you also really like how useless you feel…
Chen Yan paused here and looked at Xie Xiaofeng.
Xie Xiaofeng was all smiles, unable to contain his laughter, and murmured, "Yes, I really like the name 'Useless Aji.' 'Useless' is good; at least it won't hurt itself or others."
I hate conspiracies, bloodshed, and killing. From now on, I only want to be useless, I only want to be a useless Aji.
Just living an ordinary life like this…
"Can you live an ordinary life?"
Chen Yan countered with a question.
Xie Xiaofeng was taken aback: "I... I'm already looked down upon by everyone in the brothel, can't I even live an ordinary life?"
"cannot!"
Chen Yan shook his head firmly.
Xie Xiaofeng asked anxiously, "Why?!"
"Because you are Xie Xiaofeng, you are destined to be extraordinary!"
Chen Yan's resolute words and tone shattered all of Xie Xiaofeng's illusions: "You may not want trouble, but trouble will find you; you are destined to be caught in it..."

Chapter 120 Xie Xiaofeng's Collapse! Am I a jinx?!
Chen Yan stared at Xie Xiaofeng with a calm, even indifferent, gaze.
Xie Xiaofeng felt astonishment, coldness, and fear.
His fear stemmed from the dread that his humble yet peaceful life would be disrupted.
Chen Yan gave him no more chances to fantasize and said directly, "After working as a pimp in a brothel for a while, you gradually got to know the people in the brothel."
Among all the prostitutes in Hanjialou, there was one named Xiaoli who was the youngest and most beautiful, and was the most popular top courtesan in Hanjialou.
Xiaoli also has a good impression of you, who are tall and strong. While she looks down on you for being a pimp, she talks to you and occasionally gives you snacks. You don't say anything, but you are very grateful to her.
once.
After Xiaoli finished serving the two guests, they tried to leave without paying.
These two were also skilled in martial arts; the thugs in the brothel were no match for them.
Xiaoli tried to stop them, wanting to get back the money she earned by selling her body, but the two men slapped her across the face.
At that moment, you finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward...
"I...I stepped forward?!"
Xie Xiaofeng was terrified, his voice trembling, and he seemed on the verge of collapse.
Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, you stepped forward, pulled up Xiao Li who had been knocked to the ground, and used your tall, dirty body to block the two men."
"Give me the money." Your voice was calm, even numb, devoid of any emotion.
The two men were startled by your tall stature, but seeing you standing there dumbfounded, they punched you a few times and slapped you a few times, but you didn't even flinch.
He stared blankly at the two men, demanding money from them.
The two men were both shocked and furious. They felt that you had made them lose face, so they pulled out daggers and threatened you, saying that if you didn't move aside, they would stab you several times.
You remained expressionless, your eyes numb and empty.
The two men were furious, and one of them stabbed you several times.
Instantly, you bleed profusely.
However, his facial expression remained calm and numb.
The two men were finally frightened. They had only ever seen people who were ruthless to others, and this was the first time they had ever seen someone as ruthless to themselves.
Trembling, he pulled out some silver, gave it to Xiaoli, and fled in a disheveled state.
From this moment on, you became a hero of the little brothel.
The madam values you, the pimps and thugs worship you, and the prostitutes look at you with shining eyes.
