"Not everyone is like you, born with such heaven-defying talent, and indifferent to these things."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded slightly, agreeing with her perspective.
However...
"There’s one thing you’ve forgotten, he is my disciple, and that alone surpasses everything."
Chen Xuan was quite assertive.
And equally proud.
He would undoubtedly stand at the pinnacle of the Eastern Continent in the future, and naturally, his disciple wouldn’t be any less.
"Uh—"
This sentence left Gu Pengyou speechless.
Although the words were quite arrogant, she didn’t find anything wrong with them.
"You win!"
...
Nightti.
Chen Xuan suddenly entered Qin Ke’s room, holding two pots of wine.
"Master... what brings you here!"
He was very surprised, and even a little flustered.
"If I didn’t co, your heart would be in complete disarray."
He casually placed the wine on the table, then picked up a book from the table, his brows imdiately furrowing.
Because... the book clearly hadn’t been read, as there wasn’t a single crease on the latter pages.
Seeing this, Qin Ke lowered his head, apologizing sincerely, "Please, Master, punish !"
"You... sigh!"
He let out a helpless sigh, "I told you to read and cultivate inner peace, yet you... pour wine!"
Chen Xuan glared at him harshly.
He was truly exasperated by him.
Qin Ke hurriedly brought over a wine cup, poured the wine, and respectfully placed it in front of Chen Xuan.
"You sit too! Drink with ."
Trembling, he sat down, then poured himself a cup of wine.
"Drink!"
Chen Xuan raised his wine cup, and Qin Ke quickly raised his with both hands as well.
The two downed their drinks in one gulp.
"Refreshing!"
Chen Xuan exclaid loudly.
"Cough cough cough... so strong!"
Qin Ke hadn’t expected the wine to be so strong, and... very bad.
"Hahaha...."
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, but his smile soon vanished, replaced by a harsh reprimand, "Fretting every day over a trivial departnt head position, do you think so little of yourself, or do you disdain your master?"
"I told you early on that there would definitely be a place for you in Great Yu."
"That cos from strength, not just any simple departnt head with the Three Judicial Departnts can manage that."
"The tiny rMolan Mansion is not my endpoint, nor is it yours, rember that."
"Foolish one."
"If you continue like this, just get the hell back to Daning County."
This might be the most severe thing Chen Xuan had ever said to him.
Lack of talent is not a problem with him around, but this perspective, this mindset, he really found it unbearable.
Sealing his Spiritual Power and making him read, but in the end, he still couldn’t see it clearly, which truly disappointed him.
"Back to Daning County!!!"
Qin Ying’s face turned pale instantly.
Would all his efforts over the years have been for nothing?
He understood, this was Chen Xuan’s final warning to him.
If he continued to be obsessed with power, then this would be his eventual end.
"No!"
With a thud, both knees hit the ground.
"Master... your disciple was wrong!"
Chen Xuan only glanced at him with the corner of his eye, then continued drinking.
After a long while.
"I don’t know if you truly realize your mistake or if it’s just out of fear — it doesn’t matter, you’ve been with for so long, with efforts and rits, I’ll give you another chance."
"Do it well this ti!"
Chen Xuan left.
But Qin Ke remained kneeling.
With his head down, staring blankly at the green stone slabs on the ground.
Chen Xuan’s words ’do it well’ echoed repeatedly in his mind.
...
"Did you go to see Qin Ke?"
As Chen Xuan just returned to the room, Ning Xin began to ask.
"Mm!"
He nodded, "He’s only a re departnt head of the Three Judicial Departnts, yet living in such a daze for so long."
"His ntality is too poor, it would only be a huge trouble in future cultivation."
"Instead of waiting for trouble in the future, I’d rather give him a good shake now. If he can transform, I’ll continue to nurture him well, otherwise... he can’t bla ."
Chen Xuan had quite a high expectation of him before.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taught him the Nine Elents Dao Skill.
But a re departnt head exposed his true nature.
Too obsessed with power, neglecting his own strength.
A complete case of putting the cart before the horse.
"Alright, don’t be mad anymore, let’s see what he does."
Ning Xin comforted.
Chen Xuan’s demands were inevitably high for the disciple he personally taught, and his only disciple at that.
...
The next dawn!
"Hoo—"
Qin Ke exhaled deeply, then slowly stood up.
He had kneeled for an entire night!
Reflected for an entire night!
The greed in his heart had vanished, replaced by a newfound determination in his eyes.
"Master is right, one’s own strength is the most important."
"Once I’m strong, the power will co naturally."
"And... as long as Master is here, nothing is a problem."
Qin Ke muttered to himself.
A re departnt head of the Three Judicial Departnts had blinded his eyes and disturbed his mind.
Ultimately, his vision was too narrow.
Of course, fundantally it was that his foundation was too weak, a small place like Daning County couldn’t foster any long-term vision.
If it weren’t for eting Chen Xuan, he would have spent his whole life in the remote Daning County.
Living the life of a carefree son of the Qin Family.
"Ti to cultivate well!"
Sitting cross-legged, he began to ponder over the Nine Elents Dao Skill.
It’s true his talent was lacking, but he just needed to comprehend his Master’s cultivation experience.
No matter how lacking, one can eventually achieve sothing through ti.
In the study.
Chen Xuan’s lips curled into a slight smile.
He had been observing the situation here all along, and once he saw Qin Ke start cultivating, he knew he had figured it out.
His lecture wasn’t in vain.
There’s still hope for him.
