Chapter 19 Zeng Xuao's attitude towards the world

She was always good-tempered, but her words were firm and decisive.

The voice startled Geng Jihuan, and then Bai Yunshu spoke word by word.

"Not at all. Ningzhu is always special. Even if they are similar, it's only in appearance. Ningzhu's soul has been shattered and there's no chance of her ever appearing again. So, don't mention her anymore."

She emphasized the last few words. Geng Jihuan sighed and waved his hand to calm her down.

"Okay, I won't say any more. Senior Sister is just worried that you'll overthink it. I also hope that you can see things clearly for yourself and not be bound by the past. As for the matter of taking me as a disciple, we'll discuss it later."

"I know you're worried, Senior Sister, you're worrying too much. I know what I'm doing."

"Sense of proportion? You're the one I've always been most worried about. You always look like you have everything under control, but you actually act according to your own whims. With so much skepticism from the outside world, you should definitely be more cautious..."

Mr. Bai Yunshu appears to be gentle and considerate, but in fact he is aloof and unreachable. Once he makes up his mind, even ten stubborn donkeys can't pull him back.

Bai Yunshu listened to Geng Jihuan talking about himself with a smile, and nodded nonchalantly, "You're right."

She has never cared about what the outside world thinks of her. Whether they say she is a fallen genius and unworthy of the position of elder, or that she raises her apprentices to be sacrificed in the furnace, a thousand people have a thousand mouths, can she refute them one by one?

Geng Jihuan: I always feel like I am talking to a cow.

"Forget it. Seeing that you are so unconcerned, I feel relieved."

It’s okay as long as there is no special treatment. Yin Huan and Ning Zhu do have different personalities.

If it were the little girl Ningzhu, she would go up to the roof and tear down the tiles if she wasn't punished for three days, always causing chaos in the sect, and was often punished by Yue Daiyuan to kneel. It was Bai Yunshu who begged for mercy and took her away.

Bai Yunshu finished his tea, stood up and went to the front of his disciples to check the results.

Yan Weiwan's sprout grew a lot bigger, but only a few others broke out of their shells. As for Yin Huan, she was an exception.

After mastering the method, she had a lot of fun, with flowers blooming and fruits bearing, forming a cycle.

However, the spiritual power she gathered was not much, and after playing two or three times, it was exhausted. So she gave up and stood back honestly.

Yan Weiwan marveled at her extraordinary talent, but Yin Huan just expressed indifference.

“Once you master it, you can too.”

Seeing that his disciples were working hard, Bai Yunshu ended the course early in order to leave a good impression.

"That's all for this afternoon's class. Remember to practice diligently when you get home. Tomorrow morning I want to see all of your seeds sprout. Do you understand?"

The disciples went to the dining hall in groups of two or three. When Bai Yunshu was about to leave, Yin Huan came forward and stopped her.

"Elder Yingsu, please stay. I have some questions to ask you."

Bai Yunshu paused, turned around and looked down at her.

"What is it?"

"Elder Ying Su, how can I become your disciple? To win first place in the Trial Conference?"

She wanted to find out some information, and Bai Yunshu pondered for three seconds.

"You are not suitable for the Way of the Common People. You can go and take a look at Elder Yue's Way of Ruthlessness and Elder Geng's Way of Affection."

"I haven't fixed it yet, how do you know I'm not suitable?"

Yin Huan opened her mouth to refute her, and Bai Yunshu just sneered.

"What is the Way of the Common People? The literal meaning should be easy to understand, right? If you are asked to sacrifice your soul to the Demon Abyss, are you willing?"

Would you like to?

Yin Huan opened her mouth and wondered why this person hadn't told her before?

When I was practicing the Way of the Common People before, I had no idea about this.

Under Bai Yunshu's distrustful gaze, Yin Huan spoke tentatively.

"Is this the only way?"

Not all cultivators are selfless, most of them are for themselves.

Some people are motivated to slay demons and keep the world at peace, while others are motivated to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven, never caring about matters outside of their own lives.

Bai Yunshu looked into the distance.

She had also asked her master this question, and her master just touched her head and said.

"Yunshu, some things have to be done by someone."

Bai Yunshu was disdainful at the time and refuted her.

"Master, I want to take control of my own destiny. If the demons ever cause chaos, I will flatten the Demon Abyss."

She became famous at a young age, so she thought these were no problem at all.

Watching the moon on the mountain top and walking along the green hills, she is proud and arrogant. She feels that there is no chasm that cannot be overcome by young people in the world.

The road between heaven and earth is long, and you will find other ways.

Geng Jihuan was cheering on the side.

"I think Junior Sister is right."

The master just smiled, without much change in his expression.

"Master, don't laugh. I will prove it to you."

She doesn't want a fate that can be predicted at a glance.

Bai Yunshu was dissatisfied, and the master turned and left, leaving behind a sentence.

"I know you're stubborn and won't listen to advice. Learn more from your senior sister, be more steady, and stop messing around with your second sister, but..."

The master did not dampen her enthusiasm.

"If you can find another way, then go for it."

Bai Yunshu nodded and said yes.

After watching his master leave, Bai Yunshu looked at his senior sister who was practicing sword skills hard at the foot of the mountain.

She felt that what the master said was wrong.

"It's obvious that Senior Sister is the most stubborn one..."

Geng Jihuan put his arm around her shoulders.

"Little Junior Sister, stop looking. There's a new play at the foot of the mountain. Let's go listen to it together."

The two of them had their ponytails tied high, and there was no worry on their faces. Their red and gold disciple uniforms shone brightly in the sunlight, just like the future in their eyes, which was brilliant and glorious.

"good!"

Bai Yunshu agreed and followed Geng Jihuan out of the sect.

The youthful spirit at that time had long been worn away by the rolling mountains and rivers.

Bai Yunshu looked at Yin Huan.

"Yes, there is only this one way, there is no other choice, so I say, the others are more suitable for you."

She advised Yin Huan here, but then didn't want to waste any more words and prepared to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yin Huan grabbed her sleeve.

"Elder Ying Su, since you already knew this road was a dead end, why did you choose it in the first place?"

She wanted to ask her.

Bai Yunshu smiled helplessly.

You can't say that you had no choice back then.

"I made the wrong choice back then, and now I regret it. Do you believe it?"

Yin Huan shook his head.

"I don't believe it. Would someone like you regret it?"

Is this still the Baiyun book that told her that she should never regret anything and should find her heart?

Bai Yunshu did not answer.

One misstep can lead to eternal regret, and when you look back you’ve already lived a hundred years.

"Elder Ying Su, if you already know the outcome, why do you still want to accept a disciple? Isn't that harming others?"

Yin Huan continued to ask, but Bai Yunshu kept smiling politely and glanced at her playfully.

"Don't be too stubborn. If you don't practice, others will. Just choose what you like. I won't force anyone to become my disciple. I will explain all this clearly during the apprenticeship ceremony."

She looked at the wrinkled cuffs of her clothes, pulled them away with force, and left without looking back.

Yin Huan looked at her back, then looked at the palm of his hand.

The feeling she gave me today seems to still be there...

Are you angry because of these problems?

At night, Yin Huan tossed and turned in bed.
