Of course, rushing leads to failure—blindly training wouldn’t yield the desired effects. What you needed to do right then was to clear your thoughts and strengthen your abilities to the best within the shortest period. Thinking thus, you let out a long sigh, releasing the Activate and Rest gates, then slowly inhaled to clear your mind.
For so inexplicable reason, a phrase you once read in an online novel naturally echoed in your mind: "From nothing cos sothing, from sothing cos nothing; there’s nothing besides nothing, no birth, no death. From nothing cos sothing, it is being without action; all laws are void, the way of the law is natural... Gate of Life, open."
Gradually, your body started moving on its own. At that mont, your mind was as still as standing water, like a leaf fluttering in the wind, everything flowing with the breeze, devoid of other concerns.
Your movents caused Little Yue, who watched from afar, to feel peculiar, made Luo Xin, who sneaked peeks from nearby, sense a profound mystery, and Luo Cheng, who looked on from a distance, to perceive it as immortality.
You practiced Tai Chi quan and with the slow motion of your arms, a faint green halo shimred around you like flowing light, circling your periter before rging with the air you breathed in. Unseen, this green light was slowly improving your physical condition.
You had no idea how long you had been practicing Tai Chi, but when you finally ca to, the moon was already high in the sky and Little Yue was approaching slowly with a plate of food: "Second Young Master, you’ve been practicing for four hours, please co and eat sothing."
"Yue’er, you’re so good." You gently pinched Little Yue’s nose and then grabbed a piece of chicken and started eating.
"Second Young Master, it seems like you’ve grown taller."
Originally, Little Yue ca up to your nose, but now, she found herself only reaching your chin.
"Is that so?" You glanced at yourself, then laughed and rubbed your head, "Well, if I’ve grown taller, that’s great."
The unexpected opening of the Gate of Life made you suddenly feel as if you had the ans to continue living. With the Gate of Life, it ant that to so extent, you were immortal.
"My goodness, there’s even chicken leg to eat."
Luo Xin walked over impeccably dressed, and you scornfully glanced at this wolf in sheep’s clothing, tossing him a chicken leg which he caught and started nibbling on, murmuring appreciatively, "Little Yue’s cooking is really good, almost better than Aunt Zhang in the kitchen. I say, little brother, why don’t you just take Little Yue for yourself?"
"Hehe, I’m actually considering it, but it seems Little Yue isn’t interested in us." Luo Xin winked at Little Yue and asked, "Isn’t that right, Little Yue?"
"I— I didn’t say that!" Little Yue blushed deeply as you teased her, her head lowered while she gently twisted her clothes.
Yes, there was a chance.
"There was nothing?"
"Second Young Master, I’m not talking to you anymore!" With that, Little Yue turned and quickly walked away.
"Hehe, it’s quite amusing teasing this girl." Luo Xin shalessly laughed.
"You old rascal! Why don’t you bring a sister-in-law ho, and I can tease my little nephew then?" You glanced scornfully at Luo Xin again.
"Hehe, soon, soon." Speaking about marriage, Luo Xin’s face turned sowhat shy.
"Oh? From the look on your face, you already have soone in mind?"
"There is soone, but she hasn’t shown any interest yet."
"Tell , who is this girl?"
Luo Xin was quite upfront, directly divulging her background: "The third daughter of the Cui family."
"The Cui family? Isn’t that Duchess Lu’s maternal ho? Elder brother, you’re quite bold, reaching into such a powerful family."
"What sort of powerful family is the Cui family compared to our Luo Family? They are far from our match." Luo Xin seed dismissive about your high regard for the Cui family, yet he soon revealed a hint of lancholy, "It’s just that she might not see in the sa way. I’ve hinted through others several tis, but she has shown no response—ah, love indeed is unpredictable."
"Go on, why be so pensive? Now that you have a target, it’s simpler. Just leave it to your brother—I’ll make sure you get the girl sooner rather than later."
"But definitely not tonight, let’s go, we have to head to the Moon-viewing Pavilion."
"Really? We’re actually going?"
"Do you want to be laughed at?"
"But what about Dad..."
"Dad has mom and to back him up, don’t be scared!"
"But..." you were already looking towards the distant doorway.
"There’s no ’but’ about it. Dad might seem cold on the outside, but he’s actually very kind-hearted. Don’t worry, let’s just get the person back first. Once the deed is done, Dad won’t have a choice, hehehe."
"Really?" At that mont, Luo Cheng’s voice suddenly sounded from behind Luo Xin.
"Of course!" Luo Xin was suddenly taken aback, then his face imdiately showed a miserable expression, "Heh, heheh, Dad."
"How dare you!" Luo Cheng gave Luo Xin a smack on the back of his head!
Once Luo Cheng appeared, Luo Xin’s majestic air instantly slipped away quietly. He looked at you ruefully, his face showing a helpless expression.
"Dad, this has nothing to do with Elder Brother, it was all my idea."
"This matter, your mother has already spoken to about it. The girl has a good character, but unfortunately, she had a lonely upbringing. You must treat her well in the future."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
These exclamations were simultaneously uttered by you and Luo Xin. However, Luo Cheng didn’t waste any words and instantly turned around to leave, leaving the two brothers with a cool view of his back.
"By the way, Dad, how is Shi Kai doing?"
"Very well, I’ve already placed him in the military camp."
"Oh, take care, Dad."
"Hm."
"Hey, I say, Elder Brother, was Dad always this cool?"
"Cool? What does that an?"
"Uh, like, really stylish, really impressive."
"Cool, huh, that word really suits our father," Luo Xin nodded, clearly agreeing with your comnt about Luo Cheng.
"So what do we do now?"
"What to do? Of course, we’re setting off imdiately. Now that we’ve got Dad’s approval, everything else is peaceful!" With that, Luo Xin instantly pulled you onto a horse and raced out of Luo Mansion.
Moon-viewing Pavilion was not built in the bustling area of Chang’an but was constructed by a secluded small lake outside Chang’an City, a place not open to just anyone. Only high-ranking officials could row into the Moon-viewing Pavilion; no amount of money could buy entry. Entry to the Moon-viewing Pavilion was a symbol of status and identity.
"Are you two the sons of the Duke Ming?" When you and Luo Xin arrived on horseback at the ferry terminal of the Moon-viewing Pavilion, two house servants had already been waiting for a long ti.
