When two hours were up, Lin Su tried to put down the water jar, but his arms were stiff and his legs went weak, causing the jar to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces. He felt dizzy and was about to fall face first onto the ground, but a strong hand held his arm. The man had clean clothes, but he didn't care if a bead of sweat stained Lin Su's clothes.
"Master." Lin Su raised his eyes and looked at him, then closed his eyes and fainted.
Shen Qingtang couldn't pull him up with one hand, so he hugged the young man who fell down. When he looked at him, he only knew that he was sweating a lot. When he really hugged him, he found that his whole body was soaked with sweat and water could be wrung out of him.
Sweat is a stain, but cultivators are different from ordinary people. They have long been free of those filths. Instead, the sweat wets their long hair, and the messy feeling makes people feel a little pity.
He was not like herself who was alone and had to rely on herself. Shen Qingtang stood up and felt the hand tightly grasping her clothes. She wondered if she was too harsh.
He bent down and picked up the young man, and used the Dust Clearing Technique when he put him on the bed. The young man, who was originally soaked all over, was instantly dry, and even his hair was clearly scattered on the side.
Shen Qingtang looked at the place where he was caught, stood up, took off his outer robe and put it aside, then turned around and left.
It was almost dusk outside. When Lin Su opened his eyes, he saw himself bathed in the sunset glow. His white clothes were dyed orange, removing the coldness and making him look warm and bright.
[The host is pushing himself this time.] 06 detected that the host's physical strength was indeed nearing its limit.
[You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.] Lin Su said.
If you can't bear to part with your apprentice, you naturally can't be a master either.
Of course, nothing that happened in Wanbao City could be hidden from Lin Xin or Fairy Ruomiao. However, no one dared to approach the courtyard where True Man Qingxiao lived. By the time Lin Xin and his wife found out, Lin Su's two-hour horse stance practice had already ended.
"He really persevered?" Lin Xin's brows lit up when he heard this. "As expected of my son, he actually did what he said."
When Fairy Ruo Miao heard this, she felt extremely distressed: "You said he fainted? Two hours, when has Bao'er ever been in horse stance for more than two hours? Has anyone checked it? I'll go check on him."
"Your husband will go with you," said Lin's father.
Fairy Ruo Miao glanced at him and said, "No need. You don't care about your son at all. Going will only cause more trouble."
Although she said this, Lin's father followed her all the way and did not stop her.
Lin Su hadn't been unconscious for long. He was just physically exhausted, and sitting on the bed looked like he was really sick. When Fairy Ruo Miao came in, her brows were already slightly furrowed. She walked a few steps to Lin Su's side and asked, "Are you okay, Bao'er?"
"Mom, why are you here?" Lin Su was using his spiritual energy to soothe his tiredness. When he saw Fairy Ruo Miao come in, he said, "It's okay. What can happen to me?"
"For two hours, I couldn't bear to let you suffer this." Fairy Ruo Miao pinched his arm, and when she saw Lin Su flinch, she said, "Why do you have to endure this? Isn't it better to stay in Wanbao Fairy City?"
"Not good." Lin Su said bluntly.
Fairy Ruo Miao was startled: "Why? Did someone make you unhappy?"
"Mom, I know you love and care about me, but I'm not a baby anymore. I can't let you worry about every bump and bruise I make. I don't want to be a waste anymore." Lin Su said seriously.
Fairy Ruo Miao looked at him and for the first time felt that her son had truly grown up. He wanted to fly on his own instead of always seeking her protection: "But that would require a lot of suffering."
"I used to think I was afraid of hardship, but after what I went through today, I realized that I'm actually not afraid of hardship." Lin Su said with a smile, "Mom, with Master's guidance, I will definitely be able to learn and achieve success. You don't need to worry about me."
"Brother Su, what you said truly sounds like an adult." Lin Wei, surrounded by attendants, came in from outside. He first bowed to the couple, then looked at Lin Su, who was sitting on the bed and said, "Although you need to be diligent, as with everything, moderation is better than deficiency. If you faint like this every time, it will make mother worried. It's okay when you are here, but if you go to the Jiuxiao Immortal Gate thousands of miles away, mother won't be able to see you, so how can she know whether you are doing well or not?"
His words were all out of consideration for his mother. Fairy Ruo Miao said, "That's right. If you want to be diligent, you can stay in the city. Why go so far away? Your attributes are not compatible. It's not convenient for your mother to see you across thousands of mountains and rivers."
Lin Wei's words touched the heart of Fairy Ruomiao, but it made Father Lin frown as he looked at him. Lin Su said, "Mother, I am already an adult. One day I will have to start a family and build a career. If I always rely on mother, even if I marry a lady one day, she will look down on me."
"How could that be?" Fairy Ruo Miao said, "Bao'er is naturally the best."
Lin Su glanced at his father and asked, "If Dad had been as lowly as I was back then, and had obeyed Grandma's orders in everything, not daring to step out of line, would Mother have been interested in him?"
Fairy Ruo Miao was stuck. She glanced at Lin's father. Although they had fallen in love because he was more gentle, considerate, and devoted than other suitors, there were so many suitors at the time, so she naturally also considered talent, cultivation, and temperament. If his talent and cultivation were not enough, would she be expected to protect her man at every turn after marriage? If his temperament was not firm enough, she would probably not agree.
Looking at her son now, she feels that everything about him is good. However, there were suitors like her son in the past. She would not even look at those who relied on their family background and had no outstanding abilities.
Thinking about it now, my son’s situation is extremely embarrassing. If his future wife looks down on him, it would be extremely detrimental to his character.
Fairy Ruo Miao sighed, holding Lin Su's shoulders and said, "It's my fault, but if you go, be careful. I will come to see you when I have time."
"Okay, thank you, Mom." Lin Su said with a smile.
Fairy Ruo Miao looked at him and felt that he was really different from before. She took out a bottle of ointment and placed it on Lin Su's hand, saying, "This is for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Mother will prepare some more for you when you leave. If there is anything you don't have, just send a message home. No matter what, your own safety is the most important thing."
She had clearly relaxed, and now she just wanted to take advantage of their last moment together to fulfill her motherly responsibilities. Lin Su smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
"Then congratulations, Brother Su. I'm here to give you a gift. Congratulations on becoming a disciple of Master Qingxiao." Lin Wei took out a box and placed it beside Lin Su's bed. "It's not expensive, so please don't despise it, Brother Su."
"I don't mind." Lin Su didn't speak to him as politely as he did to Fairy Ruo Miao. He was still as straightforward as ever. "It's just that you didn't want me to go just now, but now you want me to go again. You are really fickle."
