Hu Yuan was momentarily struck speechless by the question, as countless doubts and uncertainties flashed through his mind. "What do you mean?" he asked, eyes wide as if trying to read the answer in the other's expression. Yet that "Hu Yuan" pressed forward step by step, a mocking smile on his face, his voice low and chilling as he spoke: "Do you really think you understand yourself?"
The words struck Hu Yuan's heart like a heavy hammer, plunging him into deep contemplation. Indeed, did he truly understand himself? That "Hu Yuan" continued, "You claim to pursue justice, but is the motivation deep inside your heart truly so pure? Vanity, ambition, the hunger for power... aren't these your true inner nature?"
Every single word felt like a sharp blade piercing Hu Yuan's heart. He frowned deeply, his fists involuntarily clenching. His gaze grew resolute and cold as he glared at that "Hu Yuan" and snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting? I have never doubted myself."
