909 The Meeting (2/2)

He seemed to have read Kong Zhao's mind.

Drive for his teacher? Kong Zhao grew more doubtful as he stared at the closely shut carriage. Childe Yu's teacher is inside?

I've not heard of Childe Yu having a teacher...

And a teacher who could make him serve himself so loyally must have the knowledge and wisdom far above him!

Childe Yu smiled, ”Regarding what you asked me yesterday, I didn't dare to answer due to my lack of knowledge and experience. However, my teacher has great knowledge and wisdom, and well-versed in moralities and current affairs, hence the ability to teach you. Therefore, I asked for you to wait here.”

The ability to teach you… even Childe Yu whom he was highly impressed with was humbled. With such praises, his teacher must be extremely outstanding, and might really solve the questions inside him! Kong Zhao was a little excited. After thanking Childe Yu with a bow, he was led by him to the side of the carriage and watched him open the carriage door.

The carriage door gradually opened, showing the scene inside. The decoration was simple but natural. An old-looking man with graying hair at the temples was seated inside. His worn-out eyes showed some indifference, some tiredness and some weariness, but were extremely deep, as though containing rays of wisdom. Moreover, his whole person looked empty, as though isolated by something strange. Without seeing with his own eyes, one would never feel that there was someone inside the carriage. This matched the image Kong Zhao had of a great sage.

Before Kong Zhao could speak, the man pointed at the side, signaling him to get into the carriage. Doubtful and confused, he got in and sat at the side, ”How would you teach me, sir?”

The man with graying hair at the temples looked in front of him with deep eyes, ”Mere sitting at home and thinking about the Etiquette System but fantasizing about bringing an end to the mess is like a duckweed without roots, having no support and falling apart once the wind blows. Come travel with me to see the mess in this world and the sufferings of the people, only then would you understand the malpractices and talk about bringing peace to the world.”

Kong Zhao had long had similar sage thinking, and these words hit right at his heart. He had no more doubts about the man in front of him, and was full of admiration for him. He said solemnly, ”I cannot agree with you more, sir.”

At this moment, Childe Yu shut the carriage door and drove the carriage forward. The light was faint inside as the wheels outside turned.

It was only until then that Kong Zhao realized he was a little rude just now. Straightening his expression, he bowed on the wooden surface and said in a serious tone, ”I'm Kong Zhao from Lu, may I ask for your name, sir?”

The man looked at him with a deep and exhausted gaze and said slowly, ”Li Dan.”

Li Dan!

A man would one day rise up together with the wind, reaching greater heights!

...

Mu Yunle walked around in a very good mood. Looking at the mountains in summer, poems came to her mind every now and then as she stayed alert of the surroundings instinctively to prevent attacks from demons and enemies.

Suddenly, she heard movement from behind. Pursing lips together, she turned around and saw Master Zhending get up slowly and pat his tattered gray robe.

”Master, where do you intend to go? Want me to lead the way?” Mu Yunle picked up her courage to ask.

Meng Qi smiled faintly as he said, ”Licheng.”

Mu Yunle only felt that Master Zhending looked less haggard, and the deadness in his eyes had also diminished. However, his extreme tiredness, exhaustion, and intense sadness left a deep impression.

She suddenly quietened down and nodded, ”I know where, I'll lead the way.”

It was a city at the border of Northern Zhou.

”Erm, Master, what are you going there for?” She couldn't hide her curious nature after all.

Meng Qi looked afar and gave an exhausted smile, ”Destiny.”
