"Ah, if only that were true..."
Xu Tian sighed.
"What I fear most is Lan'er getting angry...and ignoring me... If Lan'er really doesn't mind, and really isn't angry with me, I'd rather live ten years less~"
"..."
Ouyang Ying's expression was complicated and helpless.
"Young master, she's just a woman. There's no need for us to act like this. What's a real man like you to worry about not having a wife?"
"Tsk, what do you know!"
Xu was fuming and said angrily, "This is what you call love!"
Ouyang Ying could only manage a wry smile.
He and his brother had wandered and made a living since childhood, experiencing hardships. Later, after meeting the Xu couple, they were given a second chance at life and a second chance. This made the two brothers only think about repaying their kindness and work harder to improve their skills. They never thought about things like love.
For them, women only slow down the speed at which they draw their swords.
Two 100% pure, straight men simply couldn't understand Xu Tian's feelings at this moment.
"However, I am quite interested in what you just said about being angry. How did you know that my 'anger' just now was due to guilt?"
"Still...does it taste like guilt? Does it have a smell?"
As Xu Tian spoke, he raised his arm and sniffed his sleeve, arm, armpit, and shoulder, saying, "What's that smell? I can't smell anything."
Ouyang Ying waved her hand and smiled.
“Young Master, the so-called ‘qi’ smell does not refer to the odor we usually smell. It is a kind of energy field.”
"energy?"
Xu Tian frowned.
"Why does this sound so mysterious?"
"The end of science is metaphysics, young master."
Ouyang Ying crossed her arms and laughed.
Xu Tian scoffed, "Here we go again... the same old dinner routine. I don't believe it."
"Don't believe me?" Ouyang Ying was speechless. "Who was just trying to learn mind reading..."
"You believe in mind reading, yet you think this aura/energy thing is some kind of mystical mystery?"
"Um...this..."
After hearing what Ouyang Ying said, Xu Tian was speechless for a moment.
"You seem to be right."
"But where exactly is energy and... this so-called 'qi'? How can we sense it?"
Xu Tian also became interested.
Although it's mystical, it feels quite powerful. While it can't directly read a person's mind, if you could really sense its existence, at least you'd be able to understand the other person's aura and distinguish many things.
Ouyang Ying nodded.
"You still need to cultivate, young master."
"Time to cultivate again..."
"Yes, young master, practicing boxing but not internal strength is a waste of time in old age."
"Although you are naturally strong, you are still a complete beginner in many skills, especially in the control of qi."
"One still needs to cultivate and comprehend the Qi properly in order to gain some understanding of it, or even to control it."
"When you can control your own 'qi', you will completely enter the next stage. When you are truly powerful, you can even control and use the qi in the surrounding nature and the universe. When you reach that level, you will have been reborn!"
"so smart?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tian couldn't help but swallow hard.
After all, we're still men; who doesn't want to become stronger?
Hearing Ouyang Ying say this, Xu Tian, who was originally quite lazy, suddenly became interested.
"Okay, tell me quickly!"
Ouyang Ying looked somewhat smug. The young master's interest in martial arts was definitely a good thing, but they seemed to have forgotten something very important.
"Young Master, I'm very happy that you're so kind. We still need to go to Xusheng Group, you haven't forgotten, have you..."
"My grass!"
Xu Tian was startled. He had just said that Su Nuannuan had encountered some problems and that he needed to rush over. How could he have forgotten about it?
"Quick, quick, drive! Let's go to Xusheng Group first, we can talk about the 'angry' thing on the way!"
"Yes, Master!"
The master and servant drove straight to Xusheng Group.
Along the way, Xu Tian showed such great interest for the first time. Seeing this, Ouyang Ying patiently explained various questions about 'qi' to Xu Tian.
"For those at a more basic level, the concept of 'qi' generally refers to the energy field that exists in nature."
“Everyone’s state of being—calm, sad, angry, hungry, tired—changes the aura and energy fluctuations around them.”
"We call the energy field that each person carries 'qi'."
"Not only people, but also animals, plants, birds and trees, even houses and furniture, after spending a long time in contact with people, will absorb what is called human energy and have a spiritual aura."
"Before the two cats fight, they will growl and bristle as a warning to each other. At that time, it is the clash of their auras."
"The one with the weaker aura will definitely flee in defeat."
"Among them, humans, as the most intelligent of all beings, have the most abundant energy. The aura between humans is even stronger. When a bloodthirsty general walks up to an ordinary citizen, he can scare the person to death with just a glance. This is the power of one's own 'qi'."
"That's amazing!"
Xu Tian sat in the back seat, leaning forward and listening intently.
"So you mean that the stronger the qi (vital energy) is displayed, the more intimidating it is, and the better?"
Ouyang Ying's hands moved across the steering wheel, her eyes fixed on the rearview mirror, as she patiently explained, "It is true that one's Qi needs to be cultivated to be stronger, but it's not necessarily better to appear as strong as possible."
"On the contrary, the deeper one hides their anger from outsiders, the better..."
"The deeper the better? Why?"
Xu Tian asked, puzzled.
Ouyang Ying said, "Young Master, there is no shortage of people like me in this world who can sense qi. When you easily expose your qi in front of someone with ulterior motives, they will be able to find out your background... and even know everything about you!"
Xu Tian's heart skipped a beat.
"That is to say?"
"Yes."
Ouyang Ying's expression turned serious. "If you don't conceal your inner strength, there's no such thing as bluffing in front of a true master. You'll only face death! Because he knows that in his presence, you're nothing but an ant!"
Xu Tian swallowed hard.
Ouyang Ying continued, "However, I believe that as long as you practice diligently, with your exceptional talent, you will surely be able to join the ranks of top masters!"
"Young Master, do you understand now? Once you truly master your 'qi,' you will be like a true master, learning to conceal your qi and even remain expressionless, making it impossible for your opponents to detect your information."
"Any smart person would not dare to make a move before they have a clear understanding of the other party's situation."
"Because they don't know whether they are facing a snake or a dragon!"
"In a sense, what is unfathomable is actually a more terrifying deterrent!"
