Chapter 1523: Chapter 1523: Unraveling the Heart’s Knot
Bi Rou sighed deeply after speaking, “Actually, I don’t really care about this. I’m willing to do it.”
Su Yuanyuan mocked, “You’ve only been together once and you want a child?”
“What a bizarre idea? You really are a pure girl.”
“But I really want a child, so that we have an unbreakable bond.
He keeps wanting to stay away from me. I don’t agree.
I just want to be with him. Since I understood what it means to like someone, my heart and eyes have been all about him. I don’t care about what status I have, I just want to be with the person I like.”
“Do you think I’ve caused him pressure and trouble?”
“Why are you tangled up in these things?”
“Now, I’ve humbled myself to simply want to stick by his side.”
“Shouldn’t you two have a proper conversation?”
“I thought about talking, but he always looks at me silently, and I don’t have the courage to continue.”
“And you still desperately want a child? Don’t you know having a child requires both people to be together?”
“How could I not know? I’m really frustrated right now, thinking I should wait until I have a solution, we’ll talk then.”
“You can’t do that. You really can’t, you two need to open up and clarify things properly.”
“He has unresolved issues. He hasn’t advanced in a long time, which is also why I always feel sorry towards him.”
Su Yuanyuan inwardly complained, “These two are really quite amusing, both feeling sorry for the other. It’s really just a lack of communication, both embarrassed to speak out, which causes such delays in everything, right?”
The two walked outside for a while, with Bi Rou saying a lot, mainly about how the two of them treated each other.
Su Yuanyuan was a good listener. After so many years, Bi Rou finally spoke out, having so much to say.
Qi Wen also left, leaving only Tan Shaoting and Dao Yan. The two drank tea together, both not outgoing, unfamiliar with each other, and really didn’t know what to say.
To be frank, sitting like this was truly quite boring.
Dao Yan was inherently a reserved person, with thoughts of befriending the Tan Family, but really didn’t know how to converse.
Tan Shaoting felt a bit frustrated, the woman has taken his wife away, and the young woman didn’t want to stay here with him either, leaving two men like this truly quite uninteresting.
Both spoke at the same time, then laughed.
Dao Yan set up a protective shield, making the conversation safer.”
“Mr. Tan, you’re truly impressive, advancing a major rank in less than ten years.”
“I want to be their protector, so I must strive hard.”
“Having goals is really good.”
“Dao Inference True Monarch, doesn’t cultivation feel meaningless without goals?”
“Yes, now I really don’t know what I’m cultivating for.”
“Dao friend, you’re overthinking it. Isn’t going with the flow alright?”
Dao Yan was uncertain what he truly desired. In fact, going from a prodigy to being abandoned by his sect was a significant blow to him.”
“Dao Yan, are you regretful?”
He shook his head “No, I’m not regretful, just uncertain about where to go next.
I used to think that having such a long life as a cultivator isn’t necessarily good. It feels like every day is being wasted.”
“You still don’t have a goal. While I don’t know about others, I feel my life is for my woman and child.
I don’t think there’s anything shameful about that.”
“Indeed, you make all cultivators envious.”
Tan Shaoting laughed, “Actually, it’s possible. In your hearts, perhaps cultivation or fame is the priority, but not for me. My priority is my wife and child.”
“But you are a cultivator.”
“Is there any conflict in that?”
“Don’t you think prioritizing your woman and child may affect your cultivation?”
“Am I affected? I can proudly say I won’t be, instead, they are my motivation for cultivation.”
Dao Yan remained silent. Tan Shaoting indeed hadn’t been affected, instead, he was outstandingly remarkable.
Thinking of his words, Dao Yan recognized he had no goals, no motivation for cultivation.
Since starting cultivation, everything has been smooth, good spirit root, capable master, abundant cultivation resources.
Until an incident with his master occurred; recently formed Core hadn’t impacted him much since he was already a Golden Core Cultivator.
He continued cultivating as before. Until he took on Bi Rou.
Upon first sight, he felt destined, the little girl looking at him with round eyes touched his heart, and thus he took her as his disciple.
With a disciple, he strived to lead by example, diligently cultivating.
Successfully advancing to Nascent Soul, feeling superior then, assuming Nascent Soul wasn’t as difficult as imagined.
Bi Rou grew too, from a cute little dumpling to a beautiful young woman.
The sect had many disciples who liked her, some even mentioned marriage intentions to him.
At that time, he simply wasn’t willing, inwardly resisting the thought of his disciple getting married.
Their instance was due to Bi Rou then being influenced, seeing her tenderly clinging to him, leading to an unacceptable act.
He regretted and blamed himself afterwards, this was the child he raised. How could he commit such a despicable act?
Papers can’t conceal fire. Their relationship was reported to the Sect Master by a disciple who pursued Bi Rou, and he didn’t bother to lie or cover it up.
Bi Rou, the girl, resolutely left the sect with him.
Actually, Piaomiao Sect had been lenient with him.
Thinking about it now, Dao Yan still mostly thought about Bi Rou.
What else is there? Now all cultivators know about their inappropriate master-disciple relationship, what else to consider?
That girl faced a Heart Demon during Core Formation for him, followed him resolutely. Why should he be pretentious?
Dao Yan knew he liked Bi Rou, but had too many considerations.
Now he’s come to terms with it, nothing to worry about anymore.
Tan Shaoting suddenly sensed the fluctuation of spiritual power, is this an epiphany?
He quickly threw a fifth-rank array plate, hesitated, then set a top-grade Spiritual Gathering Array. The cultivators in the teahouse were shocked, could someone advance here?
Su Yuanyuan received Tan Shaoting’s message, “Bi Rou, Dao Yan is currently advancing, let’s go back.”
Bi Rou was somewhat astonished, and they swiftly returned to the teahouse.
Bi Rou saw the man she loved advancing within the array, she bowed deeply to Tan Shaoting, thanking him for his protection and setting up the Spirit Gathering Array.
Dao Yan truly accumulated greatly, astonishingly advancing to the Fifth Level of Nascent Soul. Stabilizing cultivation, seeing the array and spirit stone powder, he knew Tan Shaoting had assisted him.
