The Wang Clan's Live-in Son-in-law
"Little Fatty, go chop up today's firewood."
"Yes, Master."
"Little Fatty, after you've finished chopping the firewood, also prepare that monster meat."
"Yes."
After arranging things for Wang Baole, Chu Feng returned to his residence and spent the time reading a book.
Since Little Fatty arrived, the Miscellaneous Dao Institute have gained a capable little helper for chores.
The only downside is that this kid's cooking skills are just so-so.
It wasn't that he did a bad job, but rather that his cultivation level was too low; many ingredients became ordinary ingredients in his hands.
Come to think of it, Little Fatty has been at the Miscellaneous Dao Institute for a month now.
She works tirelessly for herself every day, and eats the least amount of food.
This made Chu Feng a little embarrassed, after all, he wasn't some kind of Huang Shiren.
"Master, don't you plan to guide my junior brother in his cultivation?"
After Qin Qin returned from her cultivation, she saw her master reading a book and her junior brother busy in the kitchen. Curious, she asked him a question.
"He doesn't even want to cultivate, why should I give him pointers?"
Chu Feng said in a very serious tone.
Qin Qin was stunned. Although she was rather cold, she wasn't the kind of iceberg that couldn't be melted by warmth.
She had seen everything that Little Fatty had done over the past month.
This junior brother is a very down-to-earth person, which is why she asked him that question today.
"Master, I'm going to cook."
"Um."
Chu Feng gave a slight response and said nothing more.
One hour later.
The two students, one after the other, brought the food to the table.
Chu Feng was the first to pick up his chopsticks. After taking a bite, he praised, "Qin'er, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Qin Qin said, "It's all thanks to Master's guidance."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "I only gave you some casual pointers. It's all thanks to your talent. By the way, have you had any difficulties with your cultivation lately?"
Qin Qin shook her head slightly. "This disciple has no confusion in cultivation since receiving guidance from Master."
My cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds. Give me just another year and a half, and I will be able to break through to the True Fate Realm.
"You still say you have no problems with your cultivation?"
Chu Feng paused deliberately.
Qin Qin and Wang Baole were both stunned, looking at Chu Feng with suspicion.
While eating, Wang Baole thought to himself: Senior Sister is already so strong. You know, in their place, she is even a genius disciple of the highest caliber.
It takes at least five to ten years to go from the Dao Foundation to the True Fate.
Senior Sister is currently only at the Early Dao Foundation. To break through to the True Fate Realm within a year and a half would definitely make her a prodigy.
But why did Master feel there was a problem?
Without much thought, Qin Qin asked directly, "Please enlighten me, Master?"
"Are you in such a hurry to cultivate in order to achieve the small goal your master set for you?"
Chu Feng asked with a smile.
Qin Qin nodded. "That is indeed one of the reasons, but if Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother can do it, then this disciple can naturally do it too."
"Is this why you only focus on increasing your cultivation level and neglect comprehending its meaning?"
Chu Feng countered with a question.
Qin Qin was stunned; she didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.
I clearly followed my master's instructions to cultivate, but my master said that there was a problem with my cultivation.
Chu Feng took a sip of tea and continued, "The ultimate goal of my teaching you to use the music of the zither to understand nature is to allow you to comprehend your own meaning from the world, whether it be the Zither Intent, the Sword Intent, or something else."
For you now, the most important thing is to grasp the meaning. Once you grasp the meaning, your cultivation will naturally progress smoothly, achieving true rapid progress.
Qin Qin listened to her master's words, her eyes grew brighter and brighter. So that's how it is.
In his daily cultivation, he simply merged the sound of his zither into the world, but he did not receive any feedback from the world.
Several opportunities to grasp the meaning were right in front of me, but I failed to seize them.
"This disciple thanks Master for his guidance."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "It's good that you understand. As for the small goals, do what you can, and don't put pressure on yourself if you can't."
After all, you and your two senior brothers have taken different paths, and their foundations are much deeper than yours.
Remember, cultivating to the Dao Foundation Realm is like laying a foundation; only with a solid foundation can you build a towering skyscraper.
"Um."
Qin Qin nodded.
Wang Baole, standing to the side, was completely bewildered; what his master and senior sister were saying was far too profound.
He was just a weakling in the Body Tempering Realm, so he couldn't understand a word of it.
Suddenly, the pork ribs in front of him didn't taste so good anymore.
If he could, he would wish to turn back time and remember more of what his instructor said when he was secretly learning the martial arts techniques.
After giving Qin Qin her pointers, Chu Feng turned his attention to Wang Baole.
"Little Fatty, how have you been doing at the Miscellaneous Dao Institute these past few days?"
Wang Baole nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Very good, I've never lived such a comfortable life in my entire life."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng fell silent.
Looking at the Little Fatty in front of him, he couldn't help but mutter, "How much suffering has this child endured in the past?"
I've made you do so many chores, why are you still acting all grateful?
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and changed the subject. "Little Fatty, are you saying these things on purpose to please your teacher?"
"You look so round and chubby, you don't look like someone who has suffered a lot."
Wang Baole put down his bowl and chopsticks and began to explain.
"I haven't done much physical labor before, but I've certainly done a lot of things to serve others, like bringing them water to wash their feet and cooking for them."
???
Chu Feng and Qin Qin both looked at Little Fatty with suspicion.
"You're getting more and more outrageous."
Upon hearing this, Wang Baole sat in his chair with a conflicted expression.
call...
After a while, he let out a long breath and said, "Master, Senior Sister, to tell you the truth, I am actually a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family, and the kind of son-in-law who was raised as a child."
I didn't suffer much hardship when I was young, but my wife's family always told me that when I grew up, I would be someone's husband.
They kept telling me what to do and what not to do, and the old women in the courtyard wouldn't let me practice.
Every day they teach me how to serve others.
And even I have my wife's surname."
"The Wang Clan's son-in-law?"
Chu Feng blurted it out subconsciously.
"Is it possible that one day someone will suddenly appear with a token from the Dao-Seeking Academy and say to you, 'The eighteen-year period has ended, and we respectfully welcome our young master home,' or something like that?"
???
Wang Baole suddenly stopped speaking, unsure how to respond to his master.
"No, not really. It's just that about six months ago, my grandfather came to me with a token from the Dao-Seeking Academy and asked if I was willing to change my current life."
