Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 238 Going with the flow means not forcing things after doing everything possible, not simply shirking responsibility.

"I am not teaching you to be indifferent, but I just want to tell you that the way follows the natural order, and destiny is hard to defy."

While washing the feet of the young man in white Taoist robes, Master Qingwei spoke:

"Changqing, if you were merely my disciple, I would say I would not help those in distress, nor would I follow the path I see, and I would let things take their course. But in the future, you will be the head of the Shushan Sect, shouldering the responsibility of bringing peace to the world."

Therefore, I have only one word: kill!

Zhuang Buran remained silent for a long time before saying:

"Whether I am the head of the Shu Mountain Sect or a disciple of Shu Mountain, thanks to the teachings of my five masters, I have come to understand that going with the flow is not about letting things take their course."

"It is not about using 'go with the flow' as an excuse to deal with the hardships and thorns encountered on the road of life when you feel powerless."

"It means to do one's best first, then leave the rest to fate, and finally accept that things may not go as planned."

He looked at each of his masters one by one:
"True acceptance of nature means not forcing things after doing your best, not doing nothing at all."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent. The five elders of Shu Mountain couldn't help but smile, thinking to themselves, "With such disciples, what more could one ask for?"

After Master Qingwei dried the young man in the white Taoist robe, he said:

"Since you have the mindset to take things in stride, the rest of us can finally put our minds at ease."

"Then we might as well lend you a hand; it would be a way for us old folks to save ourselves."

A surge of energy appeared out of nowhere, causing the young man in the white Taoist robe to lie flat in mid-air. Then, the five people surrounded him and began to transfer their own power to him.

"Changqing, you are naturally gifted and possess great wisdom. We are not trying to force you to grow too quickly, but you must also understand that the world and life are full of causes and conditions, and many things can only be known by experiencing them firsthand."

"Some relationships are sown in past lives. Even if you do your best in this life, you still have to repay the karmic debts accumulated in the past before you can settle them!"

The next day, as the sun was setting.

Elder Cang Gu, abandoning his usual decisive manner, kept nagging his eldest disciple, and finally solemnly instructed him:

"Changqing, you must be careful. Your mission is full of secrets. Once you leave the mountain, you must conceal your identity. If anyone asks, just say that you have left Mount Shu and returned to secular life. Do you understand?"

"Disciple, please remember this."

Seeing that he was clearly the savior, yet no one was showing him any concern, Jing Tian immediately threw his pack on the ground and said with great displeasure:
"I'm not going."

Master Qingwei looked puzzled:

"Jing Tian, ​​what's wrong with you?"

Elder Cang Gu, holding the position of Grand Elder of the Nascent Soul Realm of Mount Shu, had never had a good impression of the reckless Jing Tian, ​​and angrily said:
"You little rascal, what are you up to now!"

"Look, look!" Jing Tian quickly hid behind Daoist Qingwei.
“I only said one sentence, and he got this fierce. And I almost forgot, this guy in all white looks gentle and refined, but he is highly skilled in martial arts. Who knows if he will bully me on the street.”

“I remember that although he saved me before, he also used that red-haired monster to scare me, so that I had no choice but to go to Mount Shu with him.”

Master Qingwei simply smiled at Jingtian's childishness and said:

"Child, just tell me what you want in order to go."

"I am a celestial being in this world, while this White Tofu only possesses a little bit of celestial affinity. Then let him become my subordinate."

After Jing Tian finished speaking, Elder Cang Gu burst into curses:
"Pah! To want my apprentice to be your subordinate? That's utter nonsense."

"Old man, look at him, he looks so fierce, like he wants to kill me." Jing Tian was startled again.

"Elder Yuan Shen, placing Chang Qing under Jing Tian's command might not be such a bad thing," Daoist Qingwei said with a smile.
“He grew up in the deep mountains and although he understands many principles, he is far less adept at dealing with people than Jing Tian. It’s a good opportunity for him to teach Chang Qing.”

Zhuang Buran nodded and said:

"This disciple is indeed not good at dealing with people. I've followed Brother Jingtian's instructions throughout the journey, which has saved me a lot of trouble." "You..."

Elder Canggu, angered by his lack of ambition, turned and left.

Elder Heyang spoke up:

"Changqing, your master Canggu will come to his senses soon. You and Jingtian should set off now."

"Yes."

Zhuang Buran, now dressed in white, bowed to the four masters present before walking out of Wuji Pavilion with Jing Tian.

Immediately, a large number of Shushan disciples came towards him and surrounded Zhuang Buran.

Seeing that he was being ignored again, Jing Tian rolled his eyes and, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on someone else, used his skillful thieving technique.

After the many Shu Mountain disciples reacted, he laughed and shouted:

“I know you are reluctant to part with your senior brother, but if each of you gives him a farewell gift, wouldn’t that take too much time? So I will accept them on your behalf.”

Zhuang Buran gently instructed his many junior brothers before following Jing Tian down the mountain.

"Commander Xu, do you think it's somewhat unbecoming of me to carry this sword without knowing how to control it, to carry this sword? It's not in keeping with my identity as a savior of the world?"

“Brother Jingtian is destined to be with my Shu Mountain. My masters are also happy that you are not wasting your natural talent. They might as well teach you the Shu Mountain mental techniques and swordsmanship.”

"Alright, since you're so sincere about teaching me, I'll reluctantly learn."

Zhuang Buran suddenly pointed his sword at Jing Tian's brow, causing him to freeze in place.

After a while, Jing Tian felt as if his head had been flooded with a massive amount of information, and he couldn't help but scream in agony, startling countless birds into flight in the forest.

Zhuang Buran seemed to realize that his good intentions had backfired, and immediately explained:

“Brother Jingtian, please bear with it for now. You are exceptionally talented and do not need to train as hard as my junior brothers. Once you know the sect’s internal cultivation method and sword technique, you can become self-taught and make great progress.”

Jing Tian was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand, and why didn't you tell me it would hurt this much!"

"Only by enduring hardship can one rise above others. Swordsmanship requires talent, but cultivating the Tao demands even greater understanding," Zhuang Buran sincerely advised.
"Brother Jingtian, don't take your good fortune for granted. With just one period of suffering, you can quickly cultivate considerable skill and swordsmanship. I'm afraid more than 90% of the people in the world would wish to take your place."

"Alright, stop talking, you're making my head hurt even more." Jing Tian held his head and found a relatively clean rock to sit on.

"You'll get used to it in no more than half an incense stick's time," Zhuang Buran reminded him.

"what?"

As soon as Jing Tian looked up, he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

After a stick of incense.

Above the void, Jing Tian was seen riding his sword with some awkwardness, while the white-clad youth carrying the sword followed beside him.

"White Tofu, you really didn't lie to me. I am indeed exceptionally talented and learned the art of sword control in an instant."

Jing Tian, ​​seizing the opportunity, felt a desire to show off and coughed lightly:
"It's getting late, so let's stay in Yuzhou City for the night."

"Brother Jingtian, you can make the decision," Zhuang Buran replied calmly.

Not long after, the two landed outside Yuzhou City. One went straight to Yong'an Pawnshop, while the other looked for an inn to stay in.

Just as Zhuang Buran was about to enter the inn, he suddenly stopped and turned his head, only to see a figure in purple disappear in an instant.
