Huangfu Bin said that if saying sorry was useful, then people wouldn't do anything good in their lives. "What's the point of saying all this now? You're just stupid. You treat people like brothers just because they say a few words, and even count the money for them after being sold out."
Huangfu Xiong heard his father's evaluation of his sworn brother and quickly defended himself, "Dad, my brother really loves me and he had no choice. You have to believe him!"
Huangfu Bin said with some dismay, "Alright, someone will naturally take care of his problem, and the Patriarch will just have to make the final decision. Where have you gotten to with your research?"
Huangfu Xiong lowered his head, not daring to speak, just like when his teacher asked him about his homework in the past and he didn't know anything. "It feels fragmented and unsystematic..."
"Tell me about it, and I'll help you sort it out."
"Um!"
Seeing that Huangfu Bin had successfully met Huangfu Xiong, Prajna felt that her mission was complete, so she headed towards the granary. On the roof of the granary, a white-haired old woman appeared out of nowhere. She was dressed in brocade and was stroking a pottery that looked quite old. Her expression seemed to be lost in distant memories.
In the past, Tanhua was most concerned about her appearance. Even Prajna had never seen her take the initiative to restore her appearance to her true age. Prajna stepped forward and gently tugged at Tanhua's sleeve. When she looked up at him, she softly said, "What's wrong? Haven't you forgiven me yet?"
"......" Tanhua didn't say anything, but just moved Taowei to the side, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance from Prajna.
Jia Luo, who was standing aside and watching the fun, interrupted and said, "She has already forgiven you a long time ago, she is just embarrassed to tell you."
Tanhua glared at Jialuo and yelled, "You're the only one who talks too much!"
Prajna smiled slightly and explained again, "I also wanted to bring him back, and he agreed, but the woman didn't have many days left to live, so he kept her. Calculating the days, I'm afraid she'd already passed away."
Tanhua knew that not long after Prajna returned from Qingliang Valley, he quietly went out again. When he came back, his breath was a little weak, and it was obvious that he had used up a lot of Qi to save people. "Brother, you know where he is, right? I want to see him, please."
Prajna didn't hide it from her and said frankly, "I do know where he is now, and I know how you want to see him, but now is not the right time. He promised me that when he is ready, he will go back with us. He is in poor health. If you really want to do this for his own good, don't force him to do anything he doesn't want to do."
Tan Hua pleaded, "I, I can not take him away now, I just want to see him. When his father left, I was not by his side, I can't..."
Prajna wasn't a heartless person. It was impossible for him to remain unmoved by Tanhua's plea. However, before she even asked him, he had already promised Jiang Ling to keep her secret. If he rashly took Tanhua to see him now, wouldn't he be considered a traitor? "How about this? Wait a little longer. I'll ask him later. If he's willing to see you now, I'll take you to him."
"Thank you, Brother!"
Seeing this, Jia Luo looked at the clouds in the sky and chuckled, sighing, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
Tan Hua, rarely refraining from arguing, said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, if I had known the outcome would be like this, I wouldn't have left them and pursued this illusory martial arts. I would rather become an old woman than give up on them."
Jia Luo said, "But in fact, if you had to do it again, given your personality, you would definitely make the same choice. Things have already happened, so don't dwell on them and add to your troubles."
"..." Tanhua was so stunned by Jialuo's words that he didn't know what to say and ran away angrily. Prajna also reminded him helplessly: "Alas, sometimes you are too blunt in your words. You need to be more tactful to be popular with girls, understand?"
Jia Luo smiled and said, "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand."
Prajna smiled bitterly and said, "Well, well, well, you're usually quiet, but when you start talking, Tanhua and I combined can't win over you."
After finding a spot on the rooftop with a nice view and sitting down, Jialuo said, "I'm just telling the truth. And you, you didn't stop her at first, let alone try to persuade her. Now you're running errands for people all day long. Don't you feel tired?"
Prajna was slightly taken aback. Although this person usually didn't say a word and seemed to care about nothing, the questions he asked were always so difficult to answer. "This is what I deserve. At the time, I just thought that everyone had their own choices and didn't think too much about things other than myself. I just thought of it as a lesson for myself. If I have the opportunity to receive one or two disciples in the future, I will definitely pass on these experiences to them."
Jia Luo looked at Zhi Youlin in the distance and said with a smile, "It's up to you. I don't have the patience to be someone's master."
After Prajna sat down beside him, she looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "Haha, I didn't expect that the one who saw the most clearly among the three of us would be you, Jialuo."
The three of them, combined, were over three hundred years old. Hearing Prajna's words, Jialuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He'd lived a hundred years and experienced so much. If someone couldn't see things clearly, wouldn't that mean his life had been wasted? "I just thought you were praising me, so I'll accept it with reluctance."
Prajna had a childlike face, but her small brows were tightly furrowed, not at all like the expression someone her age should have. Ever since returning from Qingliang Valley, his worry hadn't left him for a single day. Especially now that Wang Ruo had died and Jiang Ling was in good health, no longer needing his concern.
Looking at the town full of patrolling soldiers, Prajna couldn't help but ask, "Do you think they can find a solution?"
Jia Luo shook his head and said bluntly, "I really don't know if we can find a solution. I only know that once the situation gets out of control, the world will be in chaos."
Prajna sighed softly and said, "When the time comes, those of us who want to stay out of it will be forced back into this vortex."
After taking a look at Prajna's sorrowful and nervous expression, Jialuo said, "So, I still have high hopes for that kid from the Huangfu family. People always have to give themselves some hope in order to live well, right?"
