Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 154 Zhang Wuji Reflects on His Weak Mind

The moon was bright and the stars were few; Zhang Wuji was still kneeling in the garden, reflecting on his actions.

After a period of calm, he regained his senses.

I felt that my previous actions had completely forgotten the deep hatred between my parents and that I was ashamed of my parents who had passed away many years ago.

I am even more ashamed of my master's teachings.

Da da da!
Xu Qing strode over, his tall and imposing figure appearing incredibly majestic under the moonlight.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his deep eyes looking at Zhang Wuji.

"Have you come to understand your mistakes?"

Zhang Wuji raised his head guiltily, nodded, and said:

“Master, Wuji should not have put aside the blood feud between his parents, and he has failed your teachings and disappointed you.”

Xu Qing's expression was calm, his gaze serene, and he spoke:

"That's only one thing. What disappoints me the most is that you completely lost control of yourself after seeing Zhou Zhiruo."

How can a man who is easily swayed by women achieve great things?!

Zhang Wuji lowered his head, knowing that he had indeed lost control of his behavior after seeing Zhou Zhiruo.

"There's nothing wrong with you liking Zhou Zhiruo, but as a man, you can't act so shamelessly just because you like her!"

Xu Qing shook his head and continued, "The more you spoil them and set no bottom line, the more they will take advantage of you!"
Just like the other party's behavior today, even if you treat Zhou Zhiruo so well, so what?

Yet she still dared not disobey her master's orders for your sake!

"Do you understand what this means? It means that in her heart, you are far less important than her master!"

Moreover, your complete lack of defense and boundless kindness towards her makes her feel that hurting you is far more worthwhile than hurting her master!

Xu Qing's words were like sharp needles piercing Zhang Wuji's heart, incredibly precise.

Zhang Wuji's face turned deathly pale. He had thought about these things when he was reflecting on his actions, but he didn't dare to think about them in detail.

Because he was unwilling to accept this fact.

But now that Xu Qing has completely revealed these things, he has no choice but to face them, causing Zhang Wuji's heart to sink suddenly.

"Women all admire strength. Your current martial arts skills are those of a strong person in the martial arts world, but that's all there is to it. Your spirit is far from being that of a strong person!"

Xu Qing spoke in a low, earnest voice, instructing Zhang Wuji:
"True strength lies in a steadfast mind; one will never be easily influenced by others!"

Indecisiveness, wavering beliefs, and weak will—these are all your weaknesses!

If you can overcome these weaknesses, your martial arts skills will reach a new level, and your combat power will far surpass what it is now!

"Wuji, remember this: a true strongman will never lack women."

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will never fall in love with you just because you're nice to her!

Xu Qing, through Zhang Wuji's various behaviors today, also saw how great his disciple's shortcomings were.

This is also the biggest factor affecting Zhang Wuji's combat strength.

Why is it that Zhang Wuji, who possesses the world's top martial arts skills, still doesn't perform well?

Because Zhang Wuji lacked the heart of a strongman!
He merely practiced these martial arts techniques without having a strong belief in becoming stronger; he always practiced passively.

This also means that these top-notch martial arts skills are far from being able to unleash their true power in his hands.

This is because one's mental state is too weak, making it impossible to exert one's power freely.

This point remained unchanged even in the original trajectory of Zhang Wuji until the very end.

His spirit was too weak to support his martial arts skills!

Consequently, many of his female admirers either died or, disheartened, left his side.

After saying this, Xu Qing helped Zhang Wuji up, patted the disciple's shoulder heavily, and said in a deep voice:

"You must remember these words day and night, and never disappoint your teacher again!"

"Yes! Wuji will certainly remember Master's teachings and will not let Master down!"

Zhang Wuji nodded vigorously. He knew perfectly well that Xu Qing truly wanted him to become stronger, which was why she tirelessly said these words to remind him.

This is something no one else would do. He kept these words in mind and would never forget them.

"I've said all I need to say. Now I want to see changes in you!"

Xu Qing withdrew his hand from Zhang Wuji's shoulder, his eyes sharp as a divine sword as he looked at Zhang Wuji.

"Please give me some more time, Master. I will definitely adjust myself properly!"

Zhang Wuji took a deep breath; he needed to properly digest his master's teachings from today.

"Alright! I'll give you some more time. I won't touch those Emei Sect disciples. Once you've figured everything out, you can handle it!"
Tomorrow, you and I, master and disciple, will set off for Bright Peak to resolve the crisis facing the Ming Cult. After that, I want to see your actions!

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he turned and left.

Now that the Emei Sect has been dealt with, the other five major sects are on their way to Bright Peak.

Xu Qing naturally didn't need to stay here.

After all, this place is still some distance from the Ming Cult's headquarters.

Zhang Wuji stood still for a long time, pondering Xu Qing's words.

"Young Master Zhang, come and have a meal. You must have expended a lot of energy to defeat Abbess Miejue today."

Zhu Changling personally carried the food box over, his face beaming with smiles.

Although he was defeated by Abbess Miejue today, he received the enlightenment of One-Finger Divine Skill from Xu Qing, which made him feel extremely good.

Zhang Wuji composed himself, looked at Zhu Changling, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Zhu."

"Don't be shy, eat up." Zhu Changling said with a beaming smile, his manner incredibly friendly.

Zhang Wuji no longer stood on ceremony and sat down on the stone chair to start eating.

He was indeed hungry.

Zhu Changling sat down beside him and said, "Young Master Zhang, I have already arranged for someone to take good care of Miss Zhou so that she won't suffer any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuji's eyes flickered slightly. He paused for a moment and said, "Thank you."

"No need to be so polite," Zhu Changling said with a smile.

Then, his smile faded slightly, and he spoke earnestly:
"Young Master Zhang, I know you have feelings for that Miss Zhou, but you shouldn't let yourself be hurt by her beauty."

Although some of my words were harsh, I suppose you haven't forgotten the disrespect my daughter Zhu Jiuzhen once showed you.

Women are very good at deceiving, so you'd better keep your eyes open and not disappoint the immortal.

Zhang Wuji paused, and his mind couldn't help but recall what his mother had said: the prettier the daughter, the more likely she is to deceive people.

Zhu Jiuzhen had indeed completely fooled him.

Would Zhou Zhiruo lie to him?

Zhang Wuji wasn't sure.

But when I think about everything that has happened today, what if Zhou Zhiruo's master made her deceive me?
Will Zhou Zhiruo refuse?
Zhang Wuji thought about it and had an answer in his heart.

He believed that Zhou Zhiruo would still follow her master's orders.

Thinking about all this, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but sigh. He really couldn't continue to be so naive.

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Zhu. Wuji knows what to do." He thanked Zhu Changling again.

The other party said these things to him, obviously because of his master.

In any case, he shouldn't disappoint his master again.

"Take your time eating, I won't keep you company. Think it over carefully."

Zhu Changling had already said all he needed to say, so there was no point in saying more. He wisely left, giving Zhang Wuji space to think and reflect.

Zhang Wuji nodded, his mind flashing back to Xu Qing and his mother's words, and then he examined himself, constantly reflecting on his actions.

That night, Zhang Wuji couldn't sleep.
