Master is too ambitious

The caravan arrived at a small town called Zhumo at sunset. The caravan of more than a hundred vehicles entered and instantly filled up all the post houses and inns in the town.

After making arrangements for Yiyun and Xie Xinyu, Ji Qian looked at Su Feng, who had been worried all day, and said, "Disciple, come to my room and talk."

Su Feng bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Ji Qian set up a magic circle in the guest room to block out the sound and the prying eyes of others. He sat down at the desk, motioned Su Feng to sit down, and asked directly: "I see that you are worried today, why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Su Feng couldn't help but look at Ji Qian in surprise. He had been with Ji Qian for more than ten years. Apart from his cultivation, Ji Qian had never cared much about his private affairs. But now he specifically called him over and asked him why he was worried today.

If it were in the past, he would certainly be very happy, but now, he is no longer sure whether Ji Qian is still that young master.

He was very hesitant and conflicted. If Ji Qian was not the young master at that time, all his efforts seemed a little ridiculous.

Although he said so, the fact that he came to the world of immortal cultivation just to pursue someone was already very funny. It couldn't be any funnier!

Seeing that he was troubled, Ji Qian did not urge him, but waited for him to make up his mind. He also wondered if he was too busy with his own cultivation in the sect before, and only reminded Su Feng of his studies, but did not pay attention to mental health education.

However, he changed his mind and realized that Su Feng had behaved normally before. He just thought that Su Feng was a normal person without Ye Guyu. He did not think about this aspect, which was a bit of a mistake.

Su Feng clenched his hands, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Did Master really come to the human world three hundred years ago?"

Ji Qian realized that this might be the problem. Su Feng seemed to want to know about his time in the human world, so he said, "It was indeed three hundred years ago."

He paused and asked, "Are you really curious about what happened to me in the human world?"

Su Feng was a little discouraged when he heard this answer, but he still said, "Yes, although this is indeed very presumptuous, Master, I really want to know."

Ji Qian was surprised to see him trying to hide his despair, but he still started the story from the beginning: "My life in the human world started when I entered a time gap while watching chess."

He recalled it a while ago, but he still felt heavy when thinking about it now. He said, "Two of my friends were playing chess, and I was watching from the side. Their skills were higher than mine at that time. I felt dizzy when I saw the chess game, and I accidentally entered the gap in time."

In his memory, it was snowing heavily and sleeting that day. Thinking of the thinly dressed child, Ji Qian still feels sorry for him and said, "The child was about five or six years old. He was selling pears at the bridge in ragged clothes in the snow. I couldn't bear to buy his pears." He paused and continued, "I thought I was just dreaming and there was no way to change his life, but at least I could buy him a bowl of noodles, but he wanted to bring it to his mother and little sister. He is really a very good and filial child."

Su Feng could no longer hear what Ji Qian said next. He only heard Ji Qian say that he was a very good and filial child. For some reason, at that moment, all the depression and suffering and grievances he had suffered in his previous life and this life over the years seemed to burst out. It seemed as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. His eyes were hot and he seemed about to cry.

Ji Qian saw that something was wrong with him, so he stood up and walked to his side. He touched his forehead and found that his body temperature was normal. Then he remembered that monks would not have fever, so he sat next to him and asked, "What's wrong? Is what the master said so touching?"

This shouldn't be the case. He himself was well aware that his narrative ability was basically zero. Su Feng was actually about to cry after hearing this. This was not right.

The system was speechless in Ji Qian's sea of ​​consciousness. Its host, except when practicing, had nerves as thick as an iron barrel at other times. It couldn't even figure out why. Wasn't that considered awesome?

"Master, can I... hug you?" Su Feng asked, his voice choked.

Ji Qian didn't understand why, but in this world, when he was in a bad mood, his parents would always comfort him patiently. As Su Feng's master, he should do this. It was not a big deal. So he hugged Su Feng and let him lean on his shoulders. Just like when his parents comforted him, he gently stroked Su Feng's back and said, "It's okay. Children who are in a bad mood can cry."

Hearing what he said, Su Feng suddenly smiled. He hugged Ji Qian and leaned on his shoulder, as if all the suffering he had experienced before had disappeared. He said, "It's great that Master still remembers me."

"You?" Ji Qian finally came to his senses after hearing what he said. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are you that kid?"

Su Feng raised his head and said with a smile: "Master, I asked you if I could go find you when I grow up, and you agreed."

Ji Qian held his forehead and sighed. He couldn't help but knock on his head with the jade slip and said helplessly: "You were so young. I promised you because I couldn't bear to let you down. Who would have thought that you would really come to me?"

Su Feng said aggrievedly: "Master, are you blaming me?"

Ji Qian sighed and said, "I'm not blaming you, it's just beyond my expectation. I don't know if the time gap is in the present, past or future. If you come to find me, what a risk you have to take."

He paused, and then said: "Besides, you were born in the human world and came to the immortal world to find me. The degree of danger involved is really..."

Su Feng leaned on his shoulder and said, "I know all this, but Master, the older I get, the more I want to come to you."

Ji Qian had never encountered such a thing before. In addition to being shocked, he also had many emotions that he didn't know how to express. He could only sigh and say, "Why are you doing this?"

Su Feng smiled and said, "Master, you probably don't know. I was young at that time and didn't quite understand what you said to me and your attitude towards me. But as I grew older, I gradually understood."

He said to himself, "After my father passed away, I became the support of my mother and younger sister at home, and the eldest brother of my brothers outside. They expected me to become like this. But only Master saw me. I have been with Master for so many years, and Master has always treated me like this and never asked me to become a certain way."

At this moment, Ji Qian roughly understood why Su Feng came to find him.

In fact, he was not looking for him, but Su Feng was pursuing himself.

Throughout life, people are looking for a way to become themselves.

What he shows in front of many people is not himself, which is not what he wants. After a long time, he will start to doubt himself: Am I like this? Is this definitely me? Is this what I want?

But the vast majority of people in the world, even if they have doubts, will choose to go with the flow, because of the pressure of life or because of their own cowardice.

After all, it always takes a lot of courage to give up the self that everyone expects you to be and become your true self.

Ji Qian gently stroked his back and praised: "You are such a brave boy."

Su Feng laughed, and said in a muffled voice, "This is the first time I've heard someone praise me like this."

Ji Qian sighed and said, "If a person does something right, he should be praised." He paused and said, "From the time you became my disciple until now, everything you have done has been good, which is worthy of praise."

Su Feng stopped talking. He leaned against Ji Qian. He felt that at this moment, his heart seemed to be filled with something, which made him extremely satisfied.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Ji Qian patted him on the shoulder, motioned him to stand up, and said, "If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush, just like in a situation like today."

He looked at Su Feng and said seriously: "You and I are master and disciple. We should trust each other and not have any suspicion. This is what is meant by master and disciple returning together."

Su Feng bowed, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and said with a smile: "Disciple obeys the master's command."

Ji Qian nodded and said, "You are tired today, so go back and rest. You must not slack off in your practice starting tomorrow."

The system is quite speechless. Dear host, is cultivation the only thing in your mind?
