Jinghu Academy.

Qin Luo stood on the podium and said softly, "After reading this travelogue about mountains and rivers, what comes to mind?"

The younger students in the classroom were all thinking seriously. Li Guannan was the first to raise his hand, and Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

Li Guannan stood up, his eyes bright. "Dean, although this article describes traveling and sightseeing, it expresses more the melancholy of time passing quickly and never returning. Therefore, we should cherish time and do meaningful things."

Qin Luo nodded, gesturing for him to sit down. "Li Guannan's insights are excellent. Do any of you students have other different viewpoints?"

Liu Siyu, who was sitting in the front row, raised her hand.

Qin Luo nodded in acknowledgment.

Liu Siyu stood up and said crisply, "Yesterday, the dean took us to the river to catch fish. Everyone was very happy at that time. Maybe many years later, we will still think of yesterday. I wish we could keep catching fish all the time."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Cheerful laughter filled the classroom.

Qin Luo was also amused.

Liu Siyu continued, "I think the author of this travelogue must have wanted to continue traveling and enjoying nature, but was forced by life's circumstances to refrain from doing so. I feel more regret than anything else."

Qin Luo nodded, "That analysis makes a lot of sense."

After Liu Siyu sat down, Qin Luo looked at Zifeng, who was sitting at the back of the classroom. He smiled slightly and said softly, "Zifeng, what are your thoughts?"

Zi Feng was tall and handsome, dressed in a blue robe, and had a refined and scholarly air. He stood up and said slowly, "Finding solace in nature is the life the author yearns for, but he also cares about worldly opinions, which is why he feels sentimental."

As the clock struck outside the window, Qin Luo said softly, "I won't take up too much of your time. Let me say it again: where your heart leads, your body will follow. I hope everyone can find the place they want to go."

"I'm going to the cafeteria now."

"Me too."

The classroom quickly became quiet.

Qin Luo and Zi Feng were the last to leave the classroom. "Zi Feng, you often listen to lectures by great scholars in the capital of Da Xia. If there are any problems with what I say, you should point them out."

Zi Feng shook his head repeatedly, and said respectfully, "Brother Qin, you spoke very well. Everyone was very engrossed in listening. I still have a lot to learn from you."

Qin Luo watched the younger students rushing towards the cafeteria and asked, "Do you really want to stay here and teach in the future?"

Zi Feng nodded earnestly, "Brother Qin, I grew up in Jinghu Academy and have an emotional attachment to this place. Only by returning here to teach can I feel a sense of belonging."

"yes."

Qin Luo nodded, somewhat wistfully. He didn't belong here; he would have to leave sooner or later.

Of the first group of juniors who went to Daxia Academy, only Zifeng, Xiao Zhang, and Li Qiuzhu returned to Jinghu Academy. Whether they stayed in the capital of Daxia or returned to Jinghu Academy, Qin Luo respected their choices.

Wu Shashen walked towards him and said, "Master Qin, Song Xiao from Yanbei City is looking for you. He also brought several cartloads of grain. I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare meals for them."

"Zifeng, go eat first."

"Okay, Brother Qin."

Qin Luo strode to the outside of Jinghu Academy, where Song Xiao was unloading grain. He was tall and strong, with a robust physique.

"Brother Song, it's been a long time!"

When Song Xiao saw Qin Luo, dressed in white and exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, he suddenly felt a little nervous. After a brief moment of distraction, he quickly cupped his hands in greeting, "Master Qin, I apologize for the sudden visit and any disturbance!"

"No disturbance at all, you are most welcome. Brother Song, you've brought so much grain, that's too kind of you. Next time you come to see me, just bring a jar of wine." Qin Luo stepped forward and patted Song Xiao on the shoulder.

Qin Luo's enthusiasm put Song Xiao at ease.

"Master Qin, I just happened to bring a few jars of fine wine. Would you like to try some?"

Qin Luo shook his head. "Not now. I need to set an example for the younger generation. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Haha, Master Qin is right."

"Brother Song, let me invite you for tea."

Qin Luo led Song Xiao to the tea room.

"Brother Song, please have a seat."

"Okay, okay."

Qin Luo personally brewed tea for Song Xiao and asked with a light laugh, "Brother Song, how's business at the escort agency lately?"

Song Xiao took the steaming teacup and replied with a smile, "The escort agency is doing very well. My grandfather usually manages it. I haven't been out escorting goods for a long time. I want to spend more time with my children at home. A few years ago, I opened a martial arts school in Yanbei City and taught some basic kung fu."

Qin Luo knew that Song Xiao was being modest. His current martial arts level was not low. Although he was not as good as Wu Shashen, he had cultivated a martial arts golden core, which was comparable to a core-forming immortal cultivator.

"Brother Song, how many children do you have, and how old are they?"

Song Xiao's eyes were filled with laughter. "The older one is six years old and his name is Song Ziyu. The younger one is three years old and his name is Song Zimeng."

Qin Luo said with a smile, "Brother Song, next time you come to the Purple Cloud Mountains, you must bring them all with you."

“My little girl cried and begged to come with me, but she’s very naughty, so I didn’t let her come.”

"It's alright, I have lots of mischievous little guys here."

"Then I'll bring them to see it next time."

Qin Luo picked up his teacup. "Brother Song, have some tea."

Song Xiao picked up his teacup and drank it down in one gulp, as if it were wine. He suddenly burst out laughing. "Master Qin, I was blind back then. I didn't know that the immortal was right beside me. I even thought I would escort you along the way. It's laughable now."

“Brother Song, you don’t need to think like that. You took me to Yanbei City, gave me food, and chatted with me. It was an unforgettable experience.” Qin Luo liked Song Xiao’s personality.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Luo seemed to remember something and said earnestly, "Brother Song, I don't know how to thank you enough for sending so much food to the academy."

Song Xiao waved his hands repeatedly, "Master Qin, this grain is just a small token of my appreciation. You transformed me, this kindness..."
