Under One Person: My Name is Wan Jing Zhenjun

The cold comes and goes, the autumn is harvested and winter is hidden.

A month passed, and before we knew it, it was October, autumn.

Wang Xiao stepped out of the room and, feeling the noticeably cooler weather, couldn't help but stretch comfortably.

For the past month, he has been living in a Zen-inspired mountain retreat.

Of course, it wasn't because he felt particularly comfortable living here, but because after visiting other places, he discovered that Zen Mountain Retreat was the place with the most balanced five elements.

Wang Xiao has actually visited quite a few other guesthouses and hotels recently, but most of those places only have one element that is prominent while the other elements are lacking.

In contrast, the Zen-inspired mountain retreat is the most suitable place, as it is characterized by the interplay of the four elements of metal, water, wood, and earth, with only the fire element being the weakest.

Therefore, after moving several times, he ultimately chose to stay here.

There was no other way; this was the most suitable place for him to cultivate.

After stretching, Wang Xiao walked to the door of Miao Ling's house and knocked.

dong dong dong.

Who is it?

"It's me, time to get up and have breakfast." Upon hearing Miao Ling's voice, Wang Xiao said with a smile, "The sun is already high in the sky, it's time to get up."

After spending a month together, he has come to completely accept Miao Ling as a child.

Of course, although he was called a child, Miao Ling was actually only a few months younger than him.

But because of his two lifetimes, in Wang Xiao's eyes, he was undoubtedly a child.

Click.

As the doorknob turned, Miao Ling emerged from inside.

"Good morning, young master." Miao Ling rubbed his eyes and smiled at Wang Xiao.

"Good morning." Wang Xiao patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go eat."

After saying that, the two chatted casually as they walked out of the guesthouse. At that moment, Li Ka was already waiting for them in his car at the entrance of the guesthouse.

"Young Master." Seeing Wang Xiao come out, Li Ka immediately opened the car door and got out. "Let's go eat first, and then we'll catch the train."

They've spent so much time at Mount Hua, now it's time to head to Mount Song, the last of the Five Sacred Mountains.

"Okay, let's go eat first." Wang Xiao nodded without saying anything, since Li Ka had asked for his opinion when buying the tickets.

After getting into the car, the group soon arrived at a restaurant on Yuquan Road.

As for what to eat, the group wasn't really particular, since as long as the money was right, the food wouldn't be too bad.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Wang Xiao had just gotten out of the car when Wang Yan, who had been waiting in front of the restaurant, walked over.

"Good morning, Xiao-ge." Wang Yan smiled and waved to Wang Xiao. "I've already booked a private room. Let's go in and have a seat."

"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded, not surprised that Wang Yan was here, because he had informed Li Ka while he was booking the tickets.

During this month, Wang Yan would often come to him to ask for paintings, whether he had something to do or not.

At first, he didn't feel anything about it, after all, it was just painting a picture, and he was just a model for a while.

However, as Wang Yan came over more and more often, Wang Xiao found it difficult to keep up.

There's no way to stop bothering you every day...

Therefore, in the latter half of the month, even when Wang Yan asked for paintings, Wang Xiao refused almost all of them. At the same time, that period was also the time when he moved the most frequently.

Closer to home.

The place where they ate was not actually a high-end restaurant, but a hotel that included catering services.

Of course, although it's just a hotel, the architectural style alone makes this place quite attractive.

Wang Xiao looked around a few times.

The crystal chandelier above resembles a cascading galaxy, the gilded dome is adorned with Baroque murals, and the marble floor beneath your feet gleams like a mirror.

Although Wang Xiao had seen many luxurious scenes in his life, the level of luxury in this place was quite impressive in his memory.

"Brother Xiao, Yuquan Road is right next to a scenic area, so it's really hard to find a suitable restaurant. This is the best place I could find..." Seeing Wang Xiao looking around, Wang Yan thought the other person felt that the place wasn't up to standard, so he explained apologetically.

"It's fine, I think it's great." Wang Xiao shook his head; he naturally had no objections.

A moment later, everyone entered the private room and sat down. After exchanging a few words, the meal began as soon as the waiter brought out the dishes.

"Brother Xiao, where are you planning to go next?" Wang Yan asked during the meal.

Although Li Ka told him that they were going to leave, she did not reveal the itinerary.

"Next, I plan to go to Mount Song." Wang Xiao did not hide anything from Wang Yan's question.

During this month of contact, he has gained a sufficient understanding of the young man in front of him.

If his first reaction upon hearing the other person's words about wanting to follow him on Mount Hua was disbelief, then he was simply skeptical.

Now, however, he has completely come to believe in his dream.

During this period, he not only thoroughly investigated Wang Yan's background, but also understood the other party's personality traits while interacting with him.

Wang Yan was a child born out of wedlock in the Wang family. In terms of his status within the family, he was indeed far inferior to Wang Bing, the eldest great-grandson of the legitimate wife.

However, despite the vast difference in their social standing, Wang Ai still handed over the divine coating to him as usual, because he was also a true member of the Wang family.

After all, in Wang Ai's mind, although his family's divine magic inheritance was good, it was still no match for the ability to bind spirits and command generals.

As long as he can firmly grasp the power of binding spirits and commanding generals, no matter who learns the supernatural abilities, it will ultimately be impossible to affect the status of the direct line.

On the other hand, although Wang Yan did not learn the art of binding spirits and commanding generals, his talent alone is actually quite good.

After studying painting for more than ten years, although he is not as strong as the second generation of the Wang family, that is, his father's generation, he is already in an outstanding position among the younger generation, even if he is not the number one.

As for why he, with such great talent, ended up here, that involves another matter.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao looked up at Wang Yan and said, "I'm leaving Huayin at 1 p.m. this afternoon. Have you thought about your answer to me?"

"Brother Xiao, I still want to follow you," Wang Yan said without hesitation. "I've thought it through very carefully over the past month."

As he spoke, he glanced at the silhouette of Mount Hua outside the window. "You may not know this, Brother Xiao, but three years ago I came to Mount Hua mainly because I heard that there were manuscripts by a hermit painter here. I thought I'd try my luck and see if I could find them and improve my painting skills."

"So, did you find it?" Wang Xiao asked, following his words.

"No." Wang Yan shook his head first, then looked at Wang Xiao and said with a smile, "However, although I didn't find the painting manuscript, I think I've still found this opportunity."

Wang Xiao did not reply immediately. He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of food, and calmly asked again, "I heard that you were expelled from the Wang family because you maliciously slandered your clansmen during the family competition."

Is it right?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan was completely stunned.
