One day later.
Richard left Delan and returned to Jialan City.
He didn't contemplate Long Mei'er's words at all, instead, he shoved them to the back of his mind.
It wasn't out of disdain for what Long Mei'er said, nor did he believe Long Mei'er's words were wrong. On the contrary, in a certain sense, he had to admit that Long Mei'er was correct, supported by systematic logic.
However, being correct doesn't mean acceptance.
It's like some foods are sweet, some are salty; each flavor is correct and reasonable, but he won't choose to eat all foods. He will choose to eat what he prefers.
Sometimes, persistence in certain beliefs or principles isn't purely a matter of right and wrong, but a matter of choice.
He chose atheism, so when faced with theism, he acknowledges it but won't accept it.
