The sunset is beautiful, yet fleeting.
After bidding farewell to Wen Hanwei, although Baili An’s body ached intensely and his abdominal muscles throbbed painfully as he walked, it did not affect his excellent mood in the slightest.
Returning to the garden, Su Jing was not inside the house but was quietly sitting at the entrance, her little head leaning against the doorfra, having fallen asleep at so unknown ti.
Her arm was hanging a basket of empty fish traps, clearly rembering the promise with Baili An, having waited until she fell asleep.
Baili An felt a warm sensation in his heart.
Having soone waiting for one’s return feels truly wonderful.
He thought his father said it well: "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles; traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as knowing countless people."
He didn’t need to reach the level of knowing countless people.
But within a short period, to et Xiaoshuang, and to form friendships with people like Su Jing and Wen Hanwei, he felt... such a life could be considered indescribably aningful.
The friendship he longed for but never achieved in childhood was realized here.
Su Jing rubbed her eyes awake, seeing Baili An at the garden entrance, her eyes lit up, revealing a bright and eager look.
She ran all the way to Baili An, shaking the fish basket in her hand in front of him: "Fishing?"
Baili An straightened his back, forcibly suppressing the pain in his abdon, as it was a promise, naturally, it must be properly fulfilled.
He nodded and smiled: "Yes, let’s go fishing."
Just like that, ti passed swiftly.
Baili An was very fond of Taixuan Sect, even though many within the sect, such as those partnering with Wen Yu, harbored deep hostility towards him.
There had been conflicts between Wen Yu and Baili An, so their relationship was naturally not good.
The other disciples of Taixuan Sect mostly felt envy and jealousy.
The reason being, before the sect opened its gates to widely accept disciples, the Sect Master had exceptionally accepted him as a Registered Disciple.
Just being a Registered Disciple is not much, as there are countless Registered Disciples in Taixuan Sect, with even lower status than Outer Disciples.
But this newcor had no awareness of being a Registered Disciple, and the Sect Master treated this newcor with an almost irritating fondness.
The spiritual thods in the nine Scripture Pavilions were generously allowed for that kid to observe and study, and he could access the original copies instead of replicas, just to let that kid better understand the essence of spiritual thods.
This was unbelievable!
In the grand Taixuan Sect, even Inner Sect disciples like Wen Yu were not allowed to enter the Scripture Pavilion leisurely; only the Taixuan Nine Classics, the Sect Master, and Sect Master’s wife, Feng Xuanzi had such qualifications.
He might be the most outstanding Registered Disciple in the history of Taixuan Sect.
Most people even began to suspect that this kid might be an illegitimate child of the Sect Master outside?
Of course, the hostility from these people was no different from the hostility within the Sword Sect at Bai Tuo Mountain, to which Baili An was already accustod.
Moreover, he usually stayed in Wen Hanwei’s garden, rarely seeing anyone, thus enjoying a stress-free peace of mind.
This did not affect Baili An’s ample daily ti; in the morning, after washing and breakfast, he would teach Su Jing to read and write.
The spiritual law books sent by Su Guanhai over the past two years had been mostly morized by Baili An, and he would extract the basic and easy-to-understand books to patiently teach Su Jing.
Though Su Jing was impatient, if Baili An exchanged it for fishing, catching wild rabbits, or planting fruits and vegetables, she would obediently sit down and study seriously.
Over two years, under the shocked eyes of Su Guanhai and Li Bansheng, Su Jing surprisingly managed to stamr through learning five simple Fire Elent cultivation techniques, and her temperant also beca less violent and easily angered.
Calming down, in good spirits, she would even share the harvested fruits with Su Guanhai and Li Bansheng.
Such sharing naturally brought tears to Su Guanhai’s eyes as he looked up to the sky, and caused Li Bansheng to sob loudly holding his partner.
But after crying with relief, their gazes towards Baili An beca increasingly gentle and kind.
Baili An spent half of his ti teaching Su Jing and learning dicine with the dicine Immortal by identifying herbs.
By noon, after lunch, he would go to the ten-mile forest, where under Wen Hanwei’s fist, he was loosening the thirty-six nodes in his body.
In two years, not only had he learned how to identify herbs, but his dical skills had seen so progress, earning the favor of the dicine Immortal.
The dicine Immortal believed this kid was hardworking and diligent, had talent in dicine, and was the most polite and respectful amongst the three juniors in the garden, wishing he would abandon martial arts for dicine so she could impart her knowledge and teach a small dicine Immortal.
However, Baili An would barely learn herb identification and dicine for half a day before rushing to Wen Hanwei’s side for a daily beating.
During these two years, Baili An had requested several tis to go down the mountain to the Central Netherworld to see his mother, but each ti he was kept on the mountain by Li Bansheng with a gentle yet firm attitude, for Su Jing was violent and at a crucial ti of cultivation, needing him around to keep an eye on her.
His father Baili Yu had never returned to Taixuan Sect, nor urged him to return ho, as if forgetting he had a son altogether.
These two years had yielded abundant gains, with Wen Hanwei’s ’attentive’ help.
His first node finally cleared and filled with spiritual power, accelerating his learning of spiritual thods, and now Baili An, besides having mastered the Snow lting Return cultivation, also learned the Incinerating River Sword technique, Seven Ashes Steps, and Sunlight Technique in Taixuan Sect’s Scripture Pavilion.
