Chapter 260: The original Taoist priest of destiny did not answer, but asked with a smile...
The Taoist priest didn't answer, but instead asked with a smile, "Do you know that she is also a person destined by heaven? It's only because of your selfishness and protection that she was spared from all disasters. Sometimes, it's not a good thing for people to have too smooth a life!"
Wei Mubai's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but retort, "Ah Hui has suffered countless hardships and tasted all kinds of pain. How can you say that everything has been smooth sailing?"
Taoist Priest Qingchenzi couldn't help but laugh. "You're deceiving yourself! You can't fail to see that she's a resolute and courageous girl. Physical pain has never been a shackle that restrains her. What she needs more is to cultivate her mind, to strengthen her character, and to temper her state of mind."
Taoist Priest Qingchenzi shook his head. This girl was not lacking in perseverance and had a strong mind, but she would avoid some small things, such as being afraid of competing, and being too kind, so that she always made things difficult for herself.
"It's not that she can't find it herself, but she's constrained by an overpowering sense of responsibility," Taoist Qingchenzi's gaze grew increasingly sharp. "And your intentional or unintentional indulgence and protection, as well as the care and responsibility you've shown her for the common people, have only intensified her resolve to shoulder her responsibility."
Wei Mubai’s face turned pale and he lowered his eyelids slightly to hide his turbulent emotions.
"Wei Mubai, the second young master of the Wei family, you've never been someone who cared about the people," Taoist Qingchenzi sneered. "You're even more cold-hearted than your brother. It was the little girl who changed you, wasn't it?"
Wei Mubai paused, clenched his fist, and said nothing.
Taoist Priest Qingchenzi didn't care about his mood and directly pointed out, "The little girl is innocent and cute. She can't see through people's hearts, but she wholeheartedly admires people who serve their country and family, have a strong sense of responsibility, are reliable, and have a great love for the people. She believes that is the most trustworthy quality."
"And you, in order to gain her trust and become the good person she imagined you to be, ended up...turning yourself into that person!"
As the Taoist priest spoke, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hahaha, the most careless person actually developed a heart for the common people because of love. Interesting, really interesting!"
Wei Mubai ignored his ridicule and stared at the sleeping face of his lover in his arms. It turned out that he had fallen for her so long ago and unconsciously acted like her favorite person in front of her.
Suddenly, he smiled indifferently and said coldly, "Isn't what I did good enough?"
He sacrificed for the common people, worked hard for all living beings, worked diligently, and saved people and the world. Why did he test Ah Hui, who had hurt him, and put her in danger?
If there is a calamity that he has to face, why doesn't it happen to him?
Xu Hui has endured too much pain. She has become so good, so perfect. It is impossible for a person to be without weaknesses. She is just too traumatized by her childhood and afraid of comparison and competition. She was also taught too well and is too responsible. What is her fault?
Why would Heaven refuse to let her go and insist that she follow the predetermined path?
Yes, in fact, Wei Mubai has always known what kind of immortal path Xu Hui would take. After all, he has an older brother named Wei Muheng!
The moment he brought Xu Hui back to the Wei family, Wei Muheng figured out everything.
Xu Hui, a legend whose fate was destined to be full of twists and turns but who remained indomitable and ascended to become an immortal on her own.
In the early days, she was excluded from the aristocratic family because of her low qualifications and only five spiritual roots. She could only rely on her natural affinity with plants, picking spiritual plants, earning spiritual stones, and exchanging them for low-level cultivation techniques, and struggled to enter the path of cultivation.
She had poor talent, no good skills, and no materials to temper her body, so her early journey was destined to be extremely difficult.
There are not only plants in the forest, but also spiritual beasts and insects. For people with low cultivation, there are dangers everywhere, so the journey of collecting herbs is extremely difficult and almost life-threatening.
In this situation, she also had to worry about the crisis she might encounter after her golden finger was exposed, so she was always cautious and never dared to make close friends with others.
If you don't understand something while learning the exercises, you can only rely on yourself to figure it out and don't dare to ask others for advice.
Lonely, vigilant, away from the crowd, living independently and solitude, walking alone in the world.
After such arduous practice day after day, she finally succeeded in building her foundation at the age of 30. Her accumulated experience had led to a qualitative leap in both her aptitude and resources, and her character had been thoroughly developed.
During this period, she experienced a series of crises that single cultivators are prone to encounter, such as deception, betrayal, murder and treasure-stealing.
This made her even more reluctant to make close friends, let alone become enemies.
After building the foundation, he was unwilling to join an aristocratic family or a loose cultivator alliance. He practiced alone and studied alchemy. Due to his lack of comprehension, his understanding often deviated. The path to becoming an immortal was really difficult!
But because of her unique world view and knowledge system, she has blazed a trail that has never been seen before and will never be seen again.
She created a cultivation method that could help cultivators with low qualifications and mixed spiritual roots, such as those with four or five spiritual roots. She led these people whose original path to immortality was dim to a path that allowed them to ascend to heaven without relying on qualifications, as long as they worked hard enough.
Starting from her, spiritual roots are no longer the shackles that bind cultivators, but perseverance is!
Xu Hui was truly outstanding! So outstanding that she had opened up a path to greatness for countless people, and had even brought about a whole new revolution to the entire world of cultivation.
From then on, the entire structure of the cultivation world changed. It was no longer about relying on a single spiritual root. There was no fixed rule. As long as one had the will and was willing to work hard, one would have his own path to immortality.
The whole world is becoming more and more vibrant and energetic, and it is only a matter of time before it is promoted to the Great Thousand Worlds.
And all this was brought by Xu Hui!
But she herself is very lonely!
She put the great love of the world into her heart and carried the burden that did not belong to her, but she was unwilling to leave any selfishness for herself, nor was she willing to have even the slightest emotional connection with anyone, living a lonely and desolate life.
It was as if he was a symbol of preaching chosen by heaven, rather than a human being with emotions and flesh and blood!
If Wei Mubai had never known her, he would have felt that Xu Hui was worthy of admiration and given the highest respect. She was truly a unique pioneer.
But when he actually met her and realized what a lively and thoughtful girl she was, he could no longer bear to let her go.
He liked to see her laugh, see her distress, see her mutter and curse...
She loves money, but is willing to give up everything to save others without hesitation...
She often envied the gods, thinking they were born in Rome, free to lay down their lives without any struggle, yet they were willing to give up the chance to become gods without hesitation for her own sake...
She is very responsible. While she says she is selfish, she keeps devoting herself to others. She is lively and selfless.
Most of the time, Wei Mubai only felt distressed. How could someone be so beautiful? But it was so beautiful that Wei Mubai did not dare to expose his despicable, cold-blooded and selfish nature in front of her.
He was afraid that Xu Hui would stay away from him because of this, and he didn't want her to be sad and upset.
So he pretended to be calm and composed, pretending to care about the people of the world.
As long as she likes it, what does it matter if he sacrifices himself for the people?
But Wei Muheng didn't want her to follow her predetermined fate and open up the so-called road just because she took responsibility.
He couldn't bear to see her worrying and panicking. To protect himself, he licked his wounds alone and didn't dare to make close friends with anyone. However, in order to have spiritual sustenance, he had to shoulder the responsibility of the great road.
His Ah Hui, his little girl, is so lively and lovely!
He would never allow her to be swept away by fate!
So he protected and obstructed her intentionally or unintentionally. If he didn't want to fight with others, then he wouldn't fight.
All disciples of the Wei family need to attend school to learn the knowledge of cultivating immortals, while also cultivating a sense of belonging to the Wei family and getting familiar with their companions so that they can cooperate with each other and fight side by side in the future.
However, she was taught personally by Wei Mubai, from skills to common sense, from cultivation to daily life, he took care of everything.
In this way, Xu Hui would not have to interact with outsiders, and there would be less jealousy and disputes.
This is not the privilege of the second young master's wife, but Wei Mubai's preference for Xu Hui. He only hopes that she can live according to her heart and be free and happy.
He is too kind, so he protects this kindness.
She has a sense of responsibility, and he protects her sense of responsibility.
Therefore, even though Xu Hui has traveled through time for a long time and her cultivation has reached the out-of-body stage, she is still pure and innocent and has not witnessed many of the dangers in the world.
I only know a handful of people, and the ones I get along with are all geniuses.
Yes, Wei Mubai intentionally separated her from cultivators with mixed spiritual roots, not because he looked down on them, but because he didn't want Xu Hui to have too much contact with them. Out of emotion or empathy, she would carry their fate on her own shoulders and regard it as her own responsibility.
In other words, Xu Hui was protected in an ivory tower. Although she had experienced all kinds of pain, they were all physical. She had never experienced the frustration and torment of her soul.
She didn't know how difficult it was for the lower-level cultivators. All she saw were flourishing flowers and the path to immortality.
In her world, the world of cultivation is peaceful and grand. After experiencing the catastrophe of world destruction, it is even more positive. Everyone has their own goals and future, and the world is thriving.
Of course, Xu Hui is not naive enough to think that everyone’s future is bright, but at least there are ways to make herself better.
Xu Hui is innocent but not ridiculous, because most cultivators from aristocratic families think so, and it is natural and should be so.
From their high vantage point, they see a world like this. Isn't this also a corner of the real world?
No one stipulates that a person must have a comprehensive understanding of the world, and it is impossible for a person to understand all aspects of the world, so why can't Xu Hui think this way?
Why should she bear the fate of the lower-level monks?
Did she owe them?
No!
In fact, Xu Hui is the outsider. The benefits she has gained from this world are far less than her efforts and sacrifices.
In other words, she is making unpaid contributions, so why?
Just ask, why should Xu Hui accept such a fate?
In the established trajectory, Xu Hui is alone and lonely, unable to find her origins and unable to see the future. She can only rely on a strong sense of responsibility to support her lonely and empty heart, and fill her inner fear with responsibility and the righteousness of serving the public good.
So while she practiced, she tried her best to create a path for cultivators with mixed spiritual powers. She endured all the hardships and difficulties alone, using this goal to fill her empty life.
Finally, she ascended to heaven successfully, and perhaps she also found the meaning of life. She had a big heart of love, was willing to make sacrifices, loved the world, and loved all living beings, which was completely in line with her education and the beliefs she upheld.
But from the moment they met, this fate was broken. Xu Hui had her own life to live, so why should she walk on that difficult and lonely road?
Therefore, Wei Mubai did everything just to let Xu Hui remain herself and not take on those responsibilities.
For this, they went through untold hardships to save the world and gained great merits. Isn’t that enough?
The world is so unfair. Why should it make things difficult for Ah Hui?
There was a hint of scarlet in Wei Mubai's eyes. For the first time, this man as cold as ice and snow felt resentment and unwillingness!
Taoist Priest Qingchenzi sighed, "But there are some paths that only she can walk, and no one else can replace her!"
"No!" Wei Mubai firmly denied, "Doesn't Wan Moxiao have the same origin as her?"
Taoist Priest Qingchenzi shook his head and sighed, saying meaningfully, "Although our backgrounds are similar, our beliefs are vastly different. Ultimately, we cannot be compared."
The glimmer in her soul could touch the cold and aloof Wei Mubai, proving her uniqueness. Even Wan Moxiao, who had a similar background, couldn't replicate it!
Xu Hui is truly a unique existence!
