Chapter 996: Chapter 584: You’re Not That Young Anymore…
(Ps: There’s more to this chapter, good brothers often refresh around two o’clock.
I’ve been compensating brothers these past two days, so there’s been less updates, sorry…)

“Ziyu, you’ve told about your self-awakening under You Mountain, how you achieved unity of knowledge and action in Great Li’s Hanjing, and how you abandoned thoughts of death under Qin Jianfu’s pursuit to gain clarity… Your self-cultivation is already sufficient. In fact, I feel it far surpasses the mindset cultivation expected for soone of your current cultivation and age, even reaching or exceeding the Confucian Temple’s requirents for a Confucian gentleman.”
Zhu Yourong sighed, looking at Zhao Rong’s clean, ink-like eyes, “Though I’ve never seen your Heart Lake vision, I can guess that the Heart Lake Water must be clear and bright, like a mirror reflecting one’s appearance…”
In a certain Heart Lake, Gui couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. This big-breasted lady teacher indeed has extraordinary insight.
It personally crafted and designed this Heart Lake for the Sword Master, and across the mountain, it’s a first-rate marvel. The pure azure glazed-colored Dragon Carp gracing the lake surface is the finishing touch.
It adds movent to what originally was tranquil like a clear mirror, invigorating the entire Heart Lake’s ‘water’.
Not to ntion its daring approach to cultivate eighty-one Evil Flood Dragons in the deep abyss of the Heart Lake.
The Purple-clothed Sword Spirit raised its pointed chin, giving a soft snort.
All evil thoughts, miscellaneous ideas, and negative emotions sink into the deep abyss of the Heart Lake, devoured by the Evil Flood Dragon.
The pure and clean thoughts, however, float up lightly to the surface, becoming nourishnt for the Great Dao Dragon Carp’s growth, making the Heart Lake Water even clearer like a mirror.
It’s like purification.
The key to filtering these lies in his ability to see the heart and understand nature, constantly distinguishing good and evil subconsciously.
Of course, the Evil Flood Dragon also grows by devouring negative evil thoughts, but the clearer the Heart Lake and Dragon Carp beco, the more they can suppress the Evil Flood Dragons that rely on murky dead water in the deep abyss—a virtuous cycle… as long as the balance remains unbroken.
When Gui initially constructed this ‘perfect Heart Lake’, it even thought that Zhao Rong could rely on this mysterious Heart Lake, and without any issues, possibly cultivate to the Saint’s Heart Realm over ti.
Didn’t you notice that he has started to feel guilty about behaviors he previously didn’t consider to be ‘scum’? This is the subtle influence—his thoughts are becoming purer and more transparent.
Just as the Sword Spirit nodded in agreent with Zhu Yourong’s praise on Zhao Rong’s path of self-cultivation and secretly felt proud of its modification of a rascal’s way of caring for won worldwide, it suddenly froze, as if sothing crossed its mind.
“Wait… Is this guy over-cultivating himself?”
Linking to Zhao Rong’s sudden self-interrogation last night and the only disturbance in the Heart Lake cultivating Flood Dragons not long ago.
The Purple-clothed Sword Spirit turned its head instantly, looking at the seventy-two Evil Flood Dragons in the deep abyss of the Heart Lake. It frowned, and beca quiet…
At this mont, in the long, dark mausoleum passage, Zhu Yourong sighed and said to Zhao Rong:
“So, Ziyu, what you need most now is not self-cultivation, but to manage your family. Moreover, you say ‘unity of knowledge and action’; who says you must rely on traveling far for self-cultivation? Managing a family can also be self-cultivation, achieving both.”
Zhao Rong was half-convinced, attempting to understand, “Are you suggesting… being tempered through experience?”
Zhu Yourong’s eyes lit up, feeling it was very apt, “Good.”
Zhao Rong nodded thoughtfully, “Let think about it carefully…”
Seeing that her persuasion had an effect, Zhu Yourong’s mood lightened. She couldn’t help but use a spring onion-like finger to poke soone’s ‘blockhead’.
“Alright, thinking too much is futile. You should now focus on managing your family well. Co, calm yourself down, and have a al with Lingfei and Qian’er, and talk openly with them… Little Ziyu, do you understand?”
Zhao Rong: “……”
A mont later, under her gentle, bright gaze, he nodded lightly.
Zhu Yourong imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on her face.
“Co on, let’s all go ho.”
She placed Jade Hand behind her back, turned around, her steps becoming light as she led the way out of the Imperial Mausoleum path.
Behind her, Zhao Rong silently raised his head, glancing at the gracefully curved back of this gentle, perceptive lady teacher, lifting his foot to follow.
Soon after, as if they were nearing a departure.
The atmosphere between the two quieted down.
…
They were about to reach the end of this pitch-black mausoleum passage.
Zhao Rong recalled how Zhu Yourong had been bustling between him, Qing Jun, and Qian’er these past two days, feeling sowhat grateful and warm-hearted.
At so mont, he couldn’t help but joke:
“I didn’t expect our great Miss Zhu to also have the skills to diate emotional disputes and family conflicts.”
“There are many more things you don’t know about .”
Zhao Rong casually said, “Could it be that Miss Zhu had past romantic experiences?”
Just before leaving, Zhu Yourong pursed her lips and suddenly said, “Yes, why?”
The tone seed calm.
Zhao Rong was stunned for a mont; he couldn’t see the expression of the Confucian-robed woman walking in front of him, but he had no doubts.
Thus, he nodded a bit surprised, “Oh, right. Miss Zhu, you’re also getting on in years, so it’s impossible that no man likes and pursues you. Having romantic experiences is very normal… Hmm, I just asked a rather silly question.”
The young and handso Confucian Scholar laughed and shook his head.
However, he failed to notice that as he uttered a particular phrase, the beautiful back of the large-breasted Confucian-robed woman in front of him instantly straightened…
The silhouette appeared a bit stiff.
You-are-also-getting-on-in-years?
Damn you and your big-headed nonsense!
Which eye of yours sees as being older? I achieved Nascent Soul status before thirty, maintained youthful looks and longevity early on, and on the mountain, I’m considered quite young. Among family and Confucian ntors and elders, many older folks still call her Little Zhu Girl!
