Master is too ambitious

"Hahaha! It's really refreshing!" Xie Xinyu's laughter was heard in the car. It was rare for her to laugh so heartily. She let out a breath of anger and must have felt very refreshed.

Ji Qian and Su Feng, who were outside, couldn't help but smile when they heard her laughing so wantonly.

Although I cannot understand Xie Xinyu's previous distress, I can understand what she did. From now on, if I let go of this knot in my heart, my practice will have no obstacles.

With the galloping of the horses and the help of Ji Qian's light wind technique, people only saw a carriage galloping past and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. They all admired what a good horse it was.

After leaving the town and slowing down, Ji Qian asked, "Disciple, where is your home? Do you want to visit?"

Su Feng didn't expect Ji Qian to ask him these questions. His heart skipped a beat. He looked embarrassed and thought for a while before saying in a rather conflicted tone, "My family is in Pingjiang Prefecture, Jiangnan Prefecture."

Yiyun heard this from inside and said with a smile: "Brother, my home is not far away, so it's just on the way."

Seeing that he was struggling, Ji Qian stopped asking questions and just said, "Then find a caravan going to Lin'an and follow it."

Yiyun wanted to ask why Su Feng didn't go to Pingjiang Prefecture, but was stopped by Xie Xinyu, who shook her head and signaled her not to ask more questions. Only then did they realize that Su Feng probably didn't want to go home. As for why, the two of them couldn't ask too much, so they could only ignore it and wait for Su Feng to figure it out himself.

The four of them found a large trading company in Songjiang Prefecture, the capital of Beizhou, that was heading to Lin'an, and traveled with them.

This trading company is called Dongwu Trading Company. It is said that their ancestors were good friends with the King of Qin. They are wealthy merchants in Jiangnan Province. They buy rare treasures in Chongshan Province and Beizhou. In total, they have more than 300 horse-drawn carriages and more than 100 escort vehicles. They hired three escort agencies for protection. They said that they wanted to celebrate the birthday of a wealthy family in Jiangnan Province and thus they had such a grand ceremony.

After hearing the news that Su Feng had found out, Ji Qian couldn't help but laugh. How could a business company be on good terms with the King of Qin? He couldn't even hide from him, but if he was on good terms with that kid from the King of Qin, he would probably be robbed of the rich and helped the poor by them all the time, right?

In the evening, the merchant company entered a small town to rest. As the town was small, it could not accommodate such a large convoy. Except for some shopkeepers and managers, the rest of the people set up tents outside the town to rest.

Ji Qian arranged for Yiyun and Xie Xinyu to continue resting in the carriage, while he and Sufeng lit a fire and kept watch outside. For those who practice cultivation, it actually makes no difference whether they rest or not, at most it will make them more comfortable.

The weather was still a little hot at this time of year, and the insects hiding in the grass at night chirped at their best, making Su Feng feel upset.

Ji Qian flicked his fingers and a soundproof note was posted outside the carriage, saying, "If you can't calm your mind, don't practice."

"Master, please forgive me. I just..." Su Feng saluted. He felt a little ashamed of his restless behavior.

Ji Qian smiled and said, "No need to apologize, everyone has troubles, that's all."

Su Feng relaxed a little after hearing what he said. He clenched his fists, took a breath, and said, "Master, I'm a little scared to go home."

Whenever he mentioned going home, his heart beat faster and his breathing became rapid. It was as if a huge rock had suddenly pressed down on his heart, making it completely impossible to breathe. He didn't know how to face his mother and younger sister.

Ji Qian heard this, because his parents had educated him very well since he was a child, giving him all the energy, so he naturally would not be afraid to go home. Of course, everyone's situation is different, so he would not make rash judgments. He advised Su Feng, so he asked: "Why?" and comforted him: "I am here, don't be afraid."

Su Feng lowered his head, and when he heard his words "I'm here, don't be afraid", his heart warmed slightly, and he said, "I didn't listen to my mother's dissuasion and insisted on going to the cultivation world to find you. She said that if I didn't listen to her, I would be a rebellious beast, so I... sneaked out in the middle of the night..."

"Master, I don't want to listen to her anymore." Su Feng said with a wry smile. He looked at Ji Qian with a depressed look and said, "Master, I really can't do what my mother asked me to do. I can't do it, and I don't want to do it."

The meaning of "Life is Like a Fragmented Brush" suddenly appeared in Ji Qian's mind, and he finally understood why the system said that "Life is Like a Fragmented Brush" was suitable for Su Feng.

Some people in the world always ask their children to do things that they themselves cannot do, and they call it chasing dreams, but they don't care at all whether their children are willing to do so. Su Feng's mother is probably such a person who wants her son to be successful.

Ji Qian sat down next to him, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Then don't listen anymore." He patted Su Feng on the shoulder and comforted him, "It doesn't matter if you don't do it. You are already very good. You have been drawing Qi for ten years, and it took another ten years to reach perfection. You are no less than any genius in the sect."

Su Feng grabbed Ji Qian's clothes and asked, "Will Master ask me to do the same thing as my mother did?"

Ji Qian smiled and said, "Of course I have requirements for you."

Su Feng was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

Ji Qian looked at him and said, "My parents taught me that they hope I can grow up to be an independent, self-reliant person with a loving heart, a strong sense of right and wrong, and a person who sticks to himself."

He paused and said seriously, "I also hope that you can become an independent and strong person, have love in your heart, have your own opinions, can distinguish right from wrong, and stick to yourself."

Then he asked: "This is all I expect from you, is that ok with you?"

After hearing this, Su Feng didn't know what to say for a moment, but he understood that Ji Qian's requirements for him were different. He didn't ask him to achieve a top-grade golden elixir or to achieve his primordial spirit. He just wanted him to be a so-called person of character.

Seeing him lost in thought, Ji Qian said, "Practice is also about cultivating the mind. Disciple, no matter what others say or do, only if you stick to your original intention can it be true."

Su Feng murmured: "Stick to your original intention?"

Ji Qian smiled and said, "Yes, what is your true intention? Think about this question slowly, it is never too late to answer it."

He tapped Su Feng's forehead with the jade slip and said, "Whether you want to go back or not, your master will support you."

Su Feng touched the spot on his forehead where he was tapped and asked, "Will Master go back with me?"

Ji Qian said as a matter of course: "Of course, why not?"

Su Feng laughed, as if relieved of a heavy burden, and pulled Ji Qian's clothes, saying, "It's great to have Master here."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qian ignored his childish actions, just smiled, closed his eyes and began to practice.

..........

A few months later, Lin'an, Jiangnan Prefecture.

It is a spring day in the south of the Yangtze River, with broken bridges due to spring rain, peach blossoms on both sides of the river bank, and small boats paddling out from the shade of willows.

The Dongwu Trading Company's convoy was moving slowly on the official road. There was more than one large convoy on the official road, and the coming and going of vehicles and pedestrians was truly bustling.

Yiyun and Xie Xinyu looked out of the car window. Yiyun was very excited to see the scenery in her memory. She had escaped from her marriage and ran away, and ended up having many adventures along the way and entering the world of cultivation. Now it has been more than 20 years since she came back. How could she not be excited by the scenery of her hometown? Xie Xinyu had not seen such a prosperous scene for many years, not to mention Yiyun's hometown, and a trace of joy arose in her heart.

Once you enter Lin'an city, you'll see a hustle and bustle of traffic, rows of shops, and the sound of hawkers hawking one after another, making it worthy of the title of paradise on earth.

Su Feng asked: "Miss Yun, do you still remember the way home?"

Yiyun could no longer suppress his desire to go home, so he squeezed to the front, motioned for her to drive, and said, "Of course I remember! Elder, Brother Su, let me drive!"

Ji Qian followed suit and got into the car. Xie Xinyu smiled behind her sleeves and said, "It's rare to see sister so anxious."

Yiyun, who was outside, heard her laughing, and laughed too, saying, "You can't wait to go home!" After that, he drove away to the west of the city.

The carriage stopped in front of a house in the west of the city. Two majestic stone lions were squatting in front of the gatehouse of the house. More than ten carriages for visiting were parked in front of the gate. It seemed that this was a wealthy family.

Yiyun jumped down in two steps, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Uncle Shan, open the door! I'm back!"

The doorman inside was a young servant. Hearing Yiyun's call, he yawned and lazily opened the door. He saw a woman dressed in purple and red clothes as a swordsman. He snorted and said, "Uncle Shan is gone. Who are you, young lady? Do you have a visiting card?"

"What! Uncle Shan is gone?!" Yiyun was surprised and asked, "What happened to Uncle Shan? Why is he gone?"

The doorman said impatiently, "What's wrong? Of course he's dead. Who are you looking for, girl? Do you have a visiting card?"

"Dead?" Yiyun was stunned in disbelief.

Seeing that the doorman was impatient, Xie Xinyu stepped forward and said, "My sister is going back to her own home. Does she still need a visiting card?"

The concierge sneered and said, "You don't look like you are from the countryside, how can you be so shameless as to say that our mansion is your own home."

Yiyun finally came to his senses, his face darkened, and he said, "When did my Yi family ever have a dog slave like you who looks down on others?"

The doorman saw that her face was so gloomy that water could drip from it. Suddenly, a threatening gaze was pressing on him, making him unable to move. He knew that he had caused trouble, so he quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Miss, please forgive me for not being able to spit out ivory from my dog's mouth. I don't know your name, but I will go and inform you immediately!"

Yiyun said: "Go and inform my father and tell him that Yiyun is back."

The concierge's ears exploded when he heard this. Didn't Miss Yiyun die of illness more than 20 years ago? How come she is alive again? But he didn't dare to ask more questions, and quickly crawled in to report the news.
