Tan Muxing felt confused and innocent, so he separated from Chu Qianli for a while and was suddenly blamed. The naughty child insisted that he had a cold face and was full of impatience, and even slapped her hand when she stretched out her hand for help, which broke her heart and made her sad.
"But I clearly..." Tan Muxing was about to explain, but seeing her angry and sad, he immediately stopped talking wisely with a strong desire to survive, and changed the topic, "...I'm sorry."
"Humph." Chu Qianli muttered, "It's so sad. It's like a psychological shadow."
Tan Muxing was bitten, but he still apologized, saying weakly: "I'm really sorry."
Although he didn't know when he hurt her, he still chose to apologize honestly.
"I'm angry and I won't talk to you anymore."
When Tan Muxing saw her turn around and leave, he immediately became flustered.
Chu Qianli turned around and saw that he looked at a loss. She hesitated for a few seconds and said awkwardly, "I'll talk to you in a minute."
Tan Muxing was stunned when he heard this. He watched her turn her head away, and his heart felt as if it was soaked in honey. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You're just going to ignore me for one minute?"
"What else?" Chu Qianli glanced at him and said reservedly, "Then two minutes."
Tan Muxing shut up immediately.
After Chu Qianli came out of the dead end, she walked straight ahead. Tan Muxing looked at her back and hesitated: "You..."
Chu Qianli said unhappily, "What are you doing? It's not even two minutes yet, it's only one minute and twenty-one seconds."
"..." Tan Muxing felt that she was incredibly strict in everything other than studying.
The two walked one after the other.
Tan Muxing looked down at the time and reminded, "Two minutes."
"oh."
Seeing that she didn't even turn back, Tan Muxing finally took a step forward and reached out to hold her hand.
Chu Qianli was held by him and she turned around in surprise.
His palms were warm and just wrapped around her.
"Let me go in front." Tan Muxing exchanged places with her and pulled the kid forward, "Where will you bump into later?"
The situation in the cave is unclear and no one knows what lies ahead.
Chu Qianli was silent for a moment. She lowered her head to glance at her hand and said in a muffled voice, "But you don't have to do this. I don't have a headache now."
The last time the two walked hand in hand through the corridor was because Chu Qianli had a splitting headache, but she is in good condition now.
"I am afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
Tan Muxing turned around and looked at her. He hesitated for a long time and said frankly, "I'm afraid you'll get lost again."
Chu Qianli curled her lips: "You definitely won't get lost here. Didn't you find me just now?"
Tan Muxing said sincerely: "I am afraid that I will spend the rest of my life apologizing."
Chu Qianli: “?”
After all, he was accused of assaulting her just because he left her for a moment. If this happened again, he would probably have to apologize for the rest of his life.
A moment later, the two found Xu Zaiyuan in another corner. He was leaning against a rock without saying a word, with his peach wood sword behind his back, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Tan Muxing asked in confusion: "Why doesn't he go out?"
Liu Jun was waiting anxiously outside, but Xu Zaiyuan was the only one staying here.
"So this is what it's like to be misled by vision." Chu Qianli took out her phone and took a photo. "Take a photo to keep as a souvenir so I can laugh at him later."
Tan Muxing: “?”
In the hallucination, Xu Zaiyuan still remembers that he was trying to find clues to his departure, but after reading a large amount of information, he saw a familiar face.
The woman in front of him was simple and elegant, with a reserved smile on her face. She stood there silently, staring at Xu Zaiyuan quietly.
This is his mother, the one who gave him life.
Xu Zaiyuan clearly knew that he was in a subconscious hallucination, but he still couldn't mobilize his usual thinking ability and could only look at the person in front of him in astonishment. In fact, he had never lived with his mother. He had lived in Qianshan since he was born and had never seen his relatives since he was a child.
He knew she was his mother because he had seen her photo before. He found old information in his master's drawer and formed an impression of his mother, whom he had never met, through that small ID photo.
So she couldn't speak in the hallucination, mainly because he couldn't imagine her voice.
He was a person with few kinship ties. He had been away from his relatives since he was young, and he would have no wife or children in the future. This was the price of his talent. If he tried to keep these things by force, at the very least, he would be estranged from his relatives, and at worst, his family would be destroyed and his life would be short. Only by practicing could he save himself.
The more proficient he became in metaphysics, the more he understood this principle, but he still felt unwilling to accept it.
If you really think it through, you shouldn't see her.
Xu Zaiyuan's eyes were hot. He had never communicated with his mother, but when he saw her, he subconsciously felt a sense of belonging, a feeling that his blood was thicker than water. His lips moved, and he finally uttered the strange name, his voice hoarse: "...Mom."
Even though she couldn't respond, he still spoke, as if fulfilling an unattainable wish.
Surprisingly, she responded.
Her voice was very soft.
"Yeah, good boy."
When Xu Zaiyuan heard that response, he felt so fulfilled at that moment that he couldn't help but shed a tear.
Inside the cave, Tan Muxing looked at Chu Qianli who was responding incoherently and said in panic, "Isn't this bad?"
After the two found Xu Zaiyuan, they discovered that he was in a daze and occasionally muttering to himself. They didn't know how to wake him up.
At this moment, Xu Zaiyuan suddenly thought of his mother, but Chu Qianli took advantage of him angrily!
I called her mom in Yuan, and she actually responded.
Chu Qianli waved his hands seriously: "Xingxing, this is what you don't understand. I'm helping him get rid of his inner demons."
Tan Muxing always felt that there were 365 days in a year, and he worried about her getting beaten 300 days: "..."
Sure enough, after Xu Yuan shed tears, he slowly opened his eyes and returned to normal.
He faced the two people who found him, and without spending too much time to exchange pleasantries, he whispered, "Thank you, let's go out."
Xu Zaiyuan did not talk about the hallucination, nor did he ask them why they came to find him, and he turned back into a taciturn little Taoist priest.
Tan Muxing asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"It's not bad."
Although Xu Zaiyuan said so, he doesn't look like that.
"Okay, don't be so sad. You still have your master and fellow apprentices." Chu Qianli said carelessly, "If you really feel that bad, then go find her."
When Tan Muxing heard this, he remembered what Xu Zaiyuan had just said, and suddenly he understood something.
Xu Zaiyuan lowered his eyes: "I can't go find her."
Chu Qianli sneered: "Who said it's not possible? Which fortune-telling book said it's not possible? Which master told you that?"
"You know the situation clearly." Xu Zaiyuan looked up at her.
Chu Qianli's price was life, Xu Zaiyuan's price was widowerhood.
Chu Qianli said calmly: "It's not that you can't, it's that you don't dare."
You must tremble slightly in your eyes.
"You regret everything you never had, but you're not sure what she is like in reality. Maybe she's not as good as you think, or maybe she does have feelings for you. It's an unknown, so you don't dare."
As their relationship with his family was very weak, he was afraid that after visiting his family, he would really break up with them.
"Numerology does teach people to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, but there is also a saying that goes, 'Do something even if you know it's impossible.' It is used to help people make better choices, not to stifle their choices."
Chu Qianli shrugged, "Voluntary choice is called choice, involuntary choice is forced. If you really can't do it, just take a sneak peek and run away immediately if you see the situation is not good. Your master will not abandon you for this reason."
Only when people have experienced all kinds of life can they truly let go of their obsessions. Otherwise, no one’s advice will be of any use.
After listening to her suggestion, Xu Zaiyuan fell into deep thought and couldn't help asking, "Why are you telling me this?"
He remembered that she had been hostile to him at first, but now she seemed much more tolerant.
Chu Qianli raised his chin proudly: "After all, I am the best in the world, I have always been both virtuous and talented, and I occasionally help the people below me."
Xu Zaiyuan: “?”
"And seeing you like this makes me feel relieved. Just like you sometimes think I'm magical, I sometimes wonder if I should be like you." Chu Qianli said softly, "After all, I don't have to go through all this."
She once thought that if she chose to convert, would it be less difficult? She wouldn't have to run around everywhere just to change her fate, and maybe it would be easier.
She didn't have a reference before, so the idea wasn't too strong, but after Xu Yuan appeared, it was like another branch line, and she couldn't help but make comparisons.
"It may be a common problem for people to always envy others. Even I am no exception sometimes. But now I am more certain of one thing, that is, there is nothing worth comparing. Everyone has a unique life problem."
Astrology helps people find life lessons and understand what they must do in this life. It has nothing to do with wealth, gender, or family. Everyone faces different challenges.
Even if she made the same choice as Xu Zaiyuan, she still could not escape from the practice of this life and would still have to face new life tasks. There is definitely no shortcut.
Xu Zaiyuan calmly pointed out: "It seems like he felt guilty because he saw that I am not doing as well as you."
Chu Qianli was quite surprised: "You could actually hear that? I thought you didn't understand the ways of the world!?"
Xu Zaiyuan reminded him: "I went to school."
Tan Muxing hurriedly tried to smooth things over. He excused Chu Qianli and said kindly, "He is still a child."
After the three met, they contacted Liu Jun and finally joined the team at the cave entrance.
Liu Jun found that Xu Zaiyuan was unharmed. He put aside his initial fear and said seriously, "Zaiyuan, this time it is indeed my fault. I can't listen to you in the future."
"If I think about it carefully, you are still very young. No matter how capable you are, you can still make mistakes. I forgot about it because of your predictions before."
Liu Jun reflected deeply on Chu Qianli's words. He thought that he should not let Xu Zaiyuan bear too much responsibility, always only seeing his calm state and forgetting his feelings.
Xu Zaiyuan was stunned: "I..."
Meiru Z: "This is caring. You are a child too."
Chu Qianli clapped her hands beside him. She agreed: "You are right. He obviously needs his parents to manage him. He cannot be disorganized and undisciplined!"
"..." Seeing her gloating over other's misfortune, Tan Muxing once seriously suspected that she felt it was unfair and resentful that Xu Zaiyuan did not have a role like He Shichen that restricted him.
