Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 249 Zhang Wuji's Mistakes, Xu Qing's Further Guidance
The sound was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout Ice and Fire Island.

Xu Qing's voice rang out from the sky. Zhang Wuji was startled and suddenly looked up. His eyes trembled as he saw Xu Qing, who was riding on the breeze, and the white ape beside him.

He cried out, "Master!"

Xiao Zhao and Zhu'er were also filled with surprise, their beautiful eyes sparkling, and joy appearing on their faces. They spoke in unison:
"Master!"

"Master Xu!"

The brothers Zhang Xuanzhen and Zhang Xuanwu stared blankly at the black-robed youth stepping through the void, their minds buzzing.

That was their father's master!?
They were already invincible a hundred years ago?!
They look even younger than their father!

Truly worthy of being called the best in the world! I wonder what level of martial arts he has reached!
Xu Qing stepped into the void, his black martial robe fluttering slightly in the breeze, his black hair dancing lightly as he slowly landed on the island.

The white ape followed closely behind Xu Qing, step by step.

"Wuji greets Master!"

Zhang Wuji stepped forward with a face full of excitement and performed the kneeling ceremony.

Xiao Zhao and Zhu'er quickly led Zhang Xuanzhen and Zhang Xuanwu forward.

"Zhen'er, Wu'er, quickly pay your respects to your grandmaster!"

"Xuanzhen greets Grandmaster! Thank you so much for saving my life!"

"Xuanwu greets Grandmaster! Thank you for saving my elder brother!"

The two brothers knelt down and kowtowed forcefully, expressing their deep gratitude to their master.

They knew that it was their grandmaster who had intervened and neutralized their father's punch, which was why they survived.

Xu Qing raised her hand: "You may get up."

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes, Master!"

Zhang Wuji and his family all stood up.

"Master, how have you been all these years?" Zhang Wuji was overjoyed to see Xu Qing again; it had been nearly a century since their last meeting.

Even after all these years, when he saw Xu Qing again, it seemed as if the scene of him becoming her apprentice was still vivid in his mind.

Xu Qing nodded slightly: "Not bad, but you haven't been seen for a hundred years. How come your temperament has deteriorated so much? Your martial arts have also improved very little."

Xu Qing had a clear understanding of Zhang Wuji's current martial arts level; he was only slightly better than when they parted years ago.

However, this improvement only applies to increased skill level; in other aspects, Xu Qing believes there has been a significant regression.

With Zhang Wuji's talent and comprehension, his progress shouldn't be limited to this.

This kid has almost completely neglected his martial arts skills over the past hundred years.

Moreover, his temperament deteriorated, and he lost control of his emotions, almost killing his own son in a fit of rage.

This kid has had a really comfortable life for the past hundred years.

Martial arts skills either progress or regress, and Zhang Wuji is clearly in this situation.

"Master, I..."

Zhang Wuji looked ashamed and regretted his behavior that day.

"Let's take a stroll around this Ice and Fire Island together."

Xu Qing sighed softly, noticing that Zhang Wuji's two sons were still there, and decided not to let his authority as the father of his disciple be diminished too much.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhang Wuji followed behind Xu Qing, just as he had done back then, and also greeted the white ape.

The white ape rolled its eyes at Zhang Wuji, clearly disappointed with his performance.

Zhang Wuji dared not speak, keeping his head down, looking exactly like a child who had done something wrong.

Xiao Zhao and Zhu'er, holding their two sons' hands, did not follow.

They also understood that this was a private conversation between the master and his student.

"Master is so domineering! My father doesn't even dare to speak in front of him."

Zhang Xuanwu gazed at Xu Qing's retreating figure with eyes full of admiration. It was the first time he had met Xu Qing, yet he was deeply impressed by Xu Qing's domineering presence.

Zhang Xuanzhen didn't speak, but his eyes were exactly the same as Zhang Xuanwu's, and he was thinking the same thing.

"Of course, your father's martial arts skills were all taught by your grandmaster, who also taught him for many years. He was practically your father's second father."

Zhu'er patted Zhang Xuanwu's head and smiled.

“Mother, I want to become someone like my master!” Zhang Xuanwu suddenly said.

"That's right, to roam the martial world, to strive for the title of the best in the world, and to become an invincible being!"

Zhang Xuanzhen also spoke up, clearly using Xu Qing as a role model. "You two..."

"Wow, it's really big."

Xiao Zhao and Zhu'er both sighed upon hearing this, realizing that their two sons had truly made up their minds.

But they didn't say anything more in denial.

Now that things have escalated to this point, and Xu Qing has also intervened, it's likely that their husbands will change their minds.

At this moment, Xu Qing and his group walked to a coastline.

The surging waves crashed against the rocks and the shore, and the sea breeze howled.

Xu Qing stopped and turned to look at Zhang Wuji.

The latter lowered his head and said softly, "Master, I have disappointed you again."

"Your performance has indeed disappointed me greatly." Xu Qing's voice was indifferent, and his words made Zhang Wuji even more afraid to raise his head.

"I'm sorry, Master!" Zhang Wuji said, feeling both fearful and ashamed.

"Tell me, why have you fought with your own son to this extent?" Xu Qing asked.

Zhang Wuji explained the whole story, and Xu Qing felt that although Zhang Wuji was a father, he had made many of the same mistakes that parents make.

Many parents want to control their children's lives, to make them follow their arrangements, and to live a good life.

In reality, a child is an independent individual; he is not a machine to be manipulated.

Now, Zhang Wuji has made a huge mistake in this regard.

"madness!"

Therefore, Xu Qing also cursed without any mercy.

"You only know that the world is dangerous, but you forget that excessive protection will only harm your own child!"
If this continues, the relationship between you and your son will break down. If I hadn't intervened today, your son would have died at your hands.

The other person will also resent you for this. What will happen to Xiao Zhao and Zhu'er?

"They will all hate you!" Xu Qing stated bluntly the consequences of today's events.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuji's face turned pale, all color drained from his eyes.

He also understood that what his master said was absolutely correct.

At that time, he will face the result of being separated from his wife and children.

"Disciple knows his mistake!" Zhang Wuji said, his face full of remorse.

He now realizes that his mistake was egregious.

"Please punish Wuji, Master!"

Zhang Wuji knelt down, putting a lot of effort into it.

Xu Qing sighed. He understood why this disciple was so protective of his two sons.

Zhang Wuji lost his parents at a young age and received almost no proper education.

Moreover, having suffered so much, she wanted to keep her son away from danger and hardship.

Only in this way could they lock their two sons tightly on Icefire Island, preventing them from leaving.

This is to protect the son!

But it also hurts the son!
Therefore, Xu Qingcai couldn't help but sigh. There was a reason for all of this, and Zhang Wuji couldn't be entirely blamed.

"Let them go out and see the world, explore the world, and gain experience. Don't stop them anymore. Just support them wholeheartedly. That's what you should do as a father."

"Yes, disciple understands!" Zhang Wuji listened and realized that he could not continue making the same mistake.

"If you are really worried, you can follow them secretly and help them if necessary. At the same time, guide them to do good and prevent them from causing trouble in the martial arts world."

Xu Qing then instructed.

"Wuji thanks Master for his guidance!"

Zhang Wuji gradually raised his head, his face full of gratitude, and decided to do as Xu Qing said.

"Get up." Xu Qing raised his hand and helped the disciple up.

Zhang Wuji stood up, exhaled, and looked at his master with a simple, honest smile.

Although he was over a hundred years old, in front of Xu Qing, he still felt like he had returned to his younger days.

Everything is fine.
