Translator: 549690339
On the first day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan got up early and went out. He didnโt see the figure that usually practiced relentlessly, and there was no one to cook for him. He had to feed the chickens and plant vegetables himself.
Something felt off. ๐๐ณ๐๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ฏโด๐๐๐.๐คโด๐
On the second day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan began to worry.
โMy foolish disciple, he didnโt die in the Evil Forest, did he?โ
โHeโs been there twice and returned safe and sound each time. It should be the same this time, right?โ

On the fifth day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan went to the hill outside the village and looked in the direction Xu Yan had gone. Nobody had come.
He let out a sigh of relief.
โEven if I have been exposed, anyone coming to capture me, a fraudster, wouldnโt arrive this quickly.โ
โI wonder if I will be exposed.โ
โAh, Xu Yan is a blockhead, but he comes from a privileged background. There must be someone smarter around him, right?โ
โIf Iโm found out, wonโt I be in hot water?โ
Li Xuan felt in a mess; He was considerably worried.

On the tenth day after Xu Yan left, Li Xuan watched from the hill. If anything seemed amiss, he planned to hide and flee.
โThis disciple, he didnโt die in the Evil Forest and fail to return, did he?โ
โOr has he been confined?โ
Li Xuan berated himself in frustration as his mind raced: โCrap! I didnโt want to deceive him, itโs his fault for being thick-headed. I canโt be blamed for this.โ
โIโm really doing badly for myself. Shameful!โ
Li Xuan sighed. He was a transmigrator who was disgracefully muddling through!
โฆ
On the eleventh day, Xu Yan finally returned.
โMaster, your disciple has returned!โ
Looking at Xu Yan who respectfully greeted him, and seeing only him with no others appearing to bind up this fraud, Li Xuan let out a sigh of relief. fr eenovelkiss.com
โHmm, itโs good youโre back!โ
With a nonchalant expression, as though he already knew of Xu Yanโs return.
โMaster, this is a token of your discipleโs appreciation.โ
Xu Yan placed two long boxes on the table.
โI appreciate it!โ
Li Xuan opened a box with a calm expression.
Inside was a sword with a gold hilt, adorned with patterns of auspicious clouds and mythical beasts, and inlaid with nine gems of red, white, and blue.
A treasure indeed!
Just a glance told Li Xuan that the sword was priceless. He was ecstatic, โThis foolish disciple is richer than I thought.โ
Showing no signs of being moved, he reached into the box and lifted the precious sword. It was hefty.
The hilt was set with nine more gems, making eighteen in total. The gems alone were a small fortune.
The hilt also had two larger red gems on it.
Li Xuan gently slid the sword out of its sheath. A flash of gold caught his eyeโthe sword was made of pure gold!
He placed the sword back into its sheath, then back into the box.
Despite his outward calm, his heart was shaking with excitement.
โIโve struck it rich! This sword is a heirloom. Now I can flee to the Wu Country without worry.โ
With an approving look, he said, โItโs the thought that counts. Iโm glad you thought of me. Even though this sword is ordinary, it will be enjoyable to play with.โ
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan was overjoyed, โAs long as you like it, Master!โ
โMy master truly is a hidden expert. Even a priceless sword does not move him, and he sees it as nothing more than a toy.โ
His reverence for his master grew yet again.
Li Xuan opened the second box. Inside was a flawless Jade Ruyi. His eyes sparkled slightly โ this Jade Ruyi was clearly a treasured item!
โExcellent!โ
Nodding his head, Li Xuan expressed his satisfaction.
โMaster, I also brought some rare medicinal herbs with me.โ
Xu Yan said as he unpacked the bundle.
Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: โDid he also realize that these rare tonics improved his physical condition and were beneficial for cultivation?โ
โAs always, you should carefully use these herbs.โ
Li Xuan glanced at them. There wasnโt any Nine Leaf Yuzhi or Thousand-Year Ginseng. There were two Five-Leaf Yuzhi and three Hundred-Year Ginseng plants, both considered rare medicinal herbs.
โYes, Master!โ
Xu Yan stored the medicinal herbs properly, began tidying up the room, and prepared to cook.
Li Xuan was pleased. This apprentice of his was sensible, and knew to get to work as soon as he came back.
โHmm? What happened? His face is filled with dejection. Did something happen?โ
Suddenly, Li Xuan noticed that Xu Yan seemed rather dejected as he worked. His heart jumped slightly. Could it be that someone had reminded him during his visit home, causing him to harbor doubts?
Or was it perhaps he felt disheartened because he hadnโt sensed any effect from the tonics and hadnโt made progress in training in a while?
โHe canโt stay like this. We have come this far. If I do not continue to deceive him, things will easily backfire.โ
โI have to boost his confidence!โ
With these thoughts, Li Xuan asked: โWhatโs the matter, my disciple? Are you upset about your cultivation?โ
Xu Yan paused his cleaning, looked dispirited, and confessed. โMaster, itโs not about cultivation. On my recent visit homeโฆ I was dumped.โ
What?
Dumped?
Li Xuan was stunned, thinking to himself: โDumped? Your name is Xu Yan, not Xiao Yan โ there isnโt a tragic story here. You have nothing to worry about.โ
โWhat happened? Why did she break off the engagement?โ
With the concern of a Master for his disciple, he asked.
With a disheartened look, Xu Yan muttered, โShe said Iโm not very intelligent, and that being with me was too humiliating.โ
Sheโs not wrong, youโre certainly not the brightest bulb!
Li Xuan muttered to himself.
Standing up, he patted Xu Yanโs shoulder. Regardless of anything, he had to console his disciple.
โYou are my disciple, itโs her loss for not seeing your worth.โ
โYouโre right, Master, thatโs what I thought too.โ
โDid you shout back at her that thirty years on each side of the river amounts to the same, and that she shouldnโt underestimate the poor youth?โ
Li Xuan asked after clearing his throat.
Xu Yan looked at his master in confusion, โMaster, Iโm not poor!โ
Shit!
Li Xuanโs eyebrows twitched, his heart felt like it had been pricked!
Immediately pulling a serious face, he said: โMy disciple, where do you see yourself as not poor? Is the poverty Iโm referring to about money? No! Itโs about poverty of cultivation, poverty of strength, poverty of martial arts knowledge!โ
Xu Yan was flushed with shame, โYouโre right, Master. I am poor, very poor!โ
Quickly adding, โBut donโt worry Master, I havenโt lost heart. Although I didnโt shout back โDonโt underestimate the poor youth!โ, I did tell her, โYou may ridicule, insult, and abandon me today, but one day you will regret this and wonโt be able to reach me!'โ
As he finished, Xu Yan raised his head with determination in his eyes.
Li Xuanโs mouth twitched, thinking to himself: โThis kid, why do I get the feeling of a chosen one? It must be an illusion!โ
โMmm, the fact you have such determination is really good.โ
Seeing the remaining hint of frustration in Xu Yanโs eyes, Li Xuan added: โBeing dumped might not be all bad for you. Remember, you may be knocked down, but it just gives you the opportunity to come back stronger.โ
โEvery exceptional individual in history faced setbacks.โ
โThe cultivation path is all about understanding. When the mind is clear, understanding will naturally come!โ
Patting Xu Yanโs shoulder, Li Xuan gravely said: โThereโs a saying โNo woman in the heart, the cultivation brings divine progress.โ Now that youโve been dumped, there are no women in your heart, no distractions, you are surely going to make great progress!โ
