Chapter 178 Cultivate Your Own Dao First

Ye Zhen's answer made Chen feel uncomfortable. He couldn't tell what was wrong with him. He concluded that if it was Meng Qianru, she would never answer like that.

"He is different from others. He needs someone who can help him control himself by his side." Chen Buchu's tone was light, but anyone who heard it would feel as if a huge rock was pressing on their heart.

"Your so-called love will hurt him."

Ye Zhen didn't understand what she said, but there was one thing she was sure of, Chen Buchu didn't love Li Xuan.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Li Xuan had never dared to respond to her in the past. Even though they were in sync now, he still often felt insecure.

Li Xuan was jealous of Dong Zhang. Before this, Ye Zhen thought he did it on purpose. But now it seems that he may have never had a complete love of his own.

In Ye Zhen's impression, the role of mother is the most emotional existence in the world that can transcend all interests, just like her biological mother who could jump into the river and die without regrets in order for her and her brother to trace their roots.

Just like Cui, in order to make Ye Rong happy, she agreed to let her daughter marry Li Chengge, who was not favored and had no future. She was willing to do her best to help her daughter support Li Chengge, and even after Ye Rong's death, she tried every means to fulfill her daughter's last wish.

Just like Aunt Zhao, who was suppressed by the principal wife for many years and endured humiliation for many years so that Ye Xue could marry a good family. She was even willing to lend money privately for her daughter and even dared to do things that would cost her life.

Ye Zhen felt heartbroken when she thought of how Li Xuan instinctively avoided warmth after he was seriously injured and unconscious. "Thank you for your teachings, Taoist Priest. If that day ever comes, I will go to hell with him."

Chen Buchu's eyes narrowed, his fingers tightly gripping the edge of the table, unable to utter a word.

Li Xuan, who did not leave the door, didn't even feel the bleeding marks on his palms from his nails. He looked up at the clear sky with his phoenix eyes and smiled.

The two left Feihe Tower. Ye Zhen clearly felt that the heaviness on Li Xuan'an was gone, and he became more talkative.

She originally wanted to ask Marquis Dingyuan whether he wanted him to go over because he didn't want him to be with her, but seeing how cheerful he was, she didn't want to disturb his interest so she didn't ask.

At noon, Li Xuan took him to Master Bu Er's courtyard, and he smelled the fragrance of food as soon as he entered the door.

Ye Zhen saw that apart from the two plates of green vegetables in front of Taoist Bu Er, there were only meat dishes in front of Ye Jinglan and Yuan Bao, especially the braised duck, which was really well cooked and made people drool just by looking at it.

When I think about the food I have had in Li Xuan'an's courtyard over the past two days, it is completely different.

Taoist Master Bu Er saw Li Xuan naturally took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and sat down, and was anxious to protect his disciple, "Master, it is normal for Miss Ye Er to have a meal with my disciple. Don't you have any in your own courtyard?"

"Miss Ye Er eats less, so it doesn't matter. But if you are included, what should I do if my apprentice doesn't have enough to eat?"

Ye Jinglan disagreed with his master and made room for him. "There's enough food. There's enough food. Imperial Master, please take a seat!"

Li Xuan gave Master Bu Er a smug smile and sat across from him, "I'm his brother-in-law."

Bu Er looked sullen and said unwillingly, "You haven't even entered the door yet, can you be more reserved!"

Ye Jinglan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Master, I have enough to eat! Let the Imperial Master eat well. My sister will rely on him to take care of her in the future."

Ye Zhen looked calm, but her ears were red. She whispered, "Sister can take care of herself, you don't need to worry."

Li Xuan'an raised his eyes, "Since you are taking care of me, you should also enjoy the meal from Qing Sect."

The blush that had just retreated from Ye Zhen's cheeks came back again.

Ye Jinglan also helped Li Xuan, "Yes."

Only Bu Er looked surprised, "I paid for this small kitchen myself, the sect won't reimburse me! You keep going around in circles, but I'm the one who's at a loss!"

There was constant laughter throughout the meal. Seeing A-di so happy, Ye Zhen felt reluctant but finally felt relieved.

Even if she could support Ye Jinglan for his entire life, Ye Jinglan would just be a good child kept in captivity. But now it is different. Even if his leg cannot be cured, at least he is living every day happily and positively.

His life was finally bright again.

In the afternoon, Li Xuan went to bid farewell to the sect leader.

It was said to be a farewell, but they just bowed outside the house and said some polite words.

The sect master often went into seclusion, and Li Xuan'an had done this farewell many times, but this time it took a little longer. He first reported the sect's affairs one by one, and then briefly explained the plans of each faction in the second half of the year.

After a pause, he recounted everything he had done since returning to Beijing. When he talked about Ye Zhen, all he could say was just one sentence, "No matter how difficult it is, I will go."

After saying it out loud, I feel lighter all over.

He didn't know what he was waiting for. He knew that the sect master was in seclusion and would not respond, but he still looked at the closed door several times with some anticipation.

It was his first time to come to the Qing Sect, and all the elders told him were the rules. Only the Sect Master walked down the steps and stroked his head, "Don't be afraid, kid. No matter how difficult a task is, it will become easy as long as you do it."

"If you survive a great disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future."

But everyone said that he had no relatives to rely on and would not have any blessings in the future.

The sect leader told him calmly, "Do you know what cultivation is? Avoiding the world, avoiding troubles and disasters, that is not cultivation, that is cowardice. Wanting to become an immortal, to change the world by throwing beans and turning them into soldiers, that is not cultivation, that is becoming a demon."

"Anyone with a kind heart can help the world and save people. It doesn't matter whether one practices Taoism or not."

"Everyone's path is different. To cultivate the Tao, you must first cultivate your own path. If you have hatred, you must get rid of it. If you have resentment, you must get rid of it. If you can't even save yourself, then the path you are cultivating is a withered path."

“If you have hope, you must seek it; if you have love, you must keep it; even if there is no way, you must make a way.”

"Taoists often say that the highest virtue is like water, which flows naturally. You have to follow your heart to be natural."

Li Xuan once didn't even know what it meant to live, but that person used his life to keep him alive, and the sect leader used some words to tell him why it means to be alive, which is why he was able to get to where he is today.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan kowtowed respectfully and choked up, "Master, I don't know when I will be back this time."

"May the master live a long and healthy life."

When he stood up, the safety buckle collar somehow fell off and broke into pieces with a "snap".

Li Xuan'an's body stiffened, and the sharp porcelain pieces seemed to pierce into his eyes. In an instant, a piercing pain spread.

Fragments...This hexagram is ominous.

That night, Li Xuan spent the entire night dealing with the sect's affairs. After settling everything, he took Ye Zhen down the mountain at dawn.

He couldn't muster any energy in the carriage. Ye Zhen held him in her arms, and he finally closed his eyes for a while, his brows still furrowed.

It started raining again when they arrived in town, and Li Xuan had a fever in the evening.

Afraid that Ye Zhen would worry, he stopped Yun Zhui from saying anything and even supported himself to peel walnuts for her on the way. If Ye Zhen hadn't noticed that his ears were red from the fever, who knows how long the secret would have been kept secret.

She was angry and anxious, but Li Xuan was still smiling, "It's nothing serious, it's boring to rest, just walk slower on the road."

Ye Zhen didn't listen to him and immediately rented a yard in the nearest town.

Li Xuan looked at the large courtyard, coughed twice, and said weakly, "The Second Miss has spent money again."

Ye Zhen couldn't bear to be angry with him. "It has been raining for the past two days, and the road is not easy to travel. Let's wait until the weather clears up before setting off. You can rest and take care of your health. I can still afford to rent such a small courtyard."

Li Xuan was a little confused due to the fever. He held her hand tightly and said, "Okay. Wait, I'll go to the street to tell fortunes and make money later."

"No, I can't let you support the family."

Ye Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yeah, then you have to take care of yourself first before you can support your family."
