Daoist Jin's Dao

Fairy Li offered Su Ziyang a few words of advice, then told Su Ziyang to finish his meal before continuing the conversation.

However, Su Ziyang was still very worried. No matter how Fairy Li tried to persuade him, Su Ziyang managed to eat a few bites of food. Then, unable to sit still any longer, he pulled Fairy Li to Daoist Jin's courtyard.

Daoist Jin has been staying in the small courtyard recently, taking walks and practicing his exercises and boxing, which is very comfortable for him.

If it weren't for the city speed limit, Su Ziyang would have floored the accelerator.

When Su Ziyang arrived, Daoist Jin was still practicing Baguazhang in the courtyard.

After Su Ziyang and Fairy Li entered, they saw Daoist Jin's fists and palms whistling through the air. Neither of them dared to disturb him, and they just watched quietly.

When Daoist Jin was teaching Su Ziyang kung fu, he told Su Ziyang to look at his feet, not his hands.

The real skill in this palm technique lies entirely in the legs.

Su Ziyang noticed that the paving stones in the courtyard where Daoist Jin had been standing had cracked, and then he realized that Daoist Jin's internal strength had made great progress since he came out of seclusion this time.

"Look at Daoist Jin, does he look like something's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?"

Fairy Li patted Su Ziyang's waist and said with a smile.

"Oh, it's good that you're alright!"

Su Ziyang nodded softly.

The two watched for about forty minutes before Daoist Jin clasped his hands and stopped his practice.

"Ziyang, you two, what brings you here tonight?"

Daoist Jin wiped the sweat from his brow and said to the two of them with a smile.

"It's nothing, Master. I just came to see you. I missed you!"

Su Ziyang chuckled and plopped down on a chair in the yard.

"We just parted ways this afternoon, and you already miss me? You little brat! Mengfei must have told you something! That guy can't hide anything!"

When Daoist Jin saw Su Ziyang rushing in, he knew why Su Ziyang had come.

"Master, your wisdom is unparalleled; nothing can escape your notice!"

Su Ziyang flattered him.

"Alright! No need to flatter me. I'm not some kind of genius! Originally, I wasn't planning to tell you this. But Mengfei insisted I tell you, saying you have the right to know! I was planning to tell you tomorrow! Maybe Mengfei was afraid I wouldn't tell you! So he told you beforehand!"

Daoist Jin also sat down in a chair. When Fairy Li saw that the master and disciple had sat down, she got up and went inside to make tea.

"Master, where are you going?"

Su Ziyang felt very uncomfortable when he heard the news of leaving from Daoist Jin.

"Go to the mountains to cultivate myself!"

Daoist Jin looked at Su Ziyang very seriously and said something unusually brief.

"Oh!"

Su Ziyang nodded, and the master and apprentice fell into a long silence.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you two just standing there in a daze?"

When Fairy Li brought out the tea table, she saw that both of them remained silent.

"It's nothing, thank you for making the tea! Please sit down, I'll go get something from the house!"

Daoist Jin chuckled, stood up, and went into the house.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Fairy Li seemed to understand everything. She touched Su Ziyang's face and placed the tea tray on the table.

"No, not really! I'm just a little reluctant to part with it!"

Su Ziyang didn't know why he was feeling down, nor did he know how to express his emotions.

After Daoist Jin came out of the house, Fairy Li got up and went back inside, saying she would continue making tea, but in reality she was deliberately avoiding the conversation between the master and disciple.

"Ziyang."

After Daoist Jin sat down, he called out to Su Ziyang.

"Master!"

Su Ziyang sat up straight and looked at Daoist Jin very seriously.

"This is for you!"

Daoist Jin handed a package to Su Ziyang.

"Here are the land use certificate for this yard, the documents I used to purchase this house, and the keys. Also, there are some medicines that have been dispensed here."

Before Su Ziyang could say anything, Daoist Jin waved his hand, signaling Su Ziyang to listen to him. "These things are all yours. I left them for you. And that medical kit you've been longing for, the one you wanted to make into a bracelet— Old Xiao will arrange that at the clinic. Anything inside that's mine is yours!"

"As for me! I've calculated it; I'm destined to be lonely and widowed my whole life. When I was young, I was fortunate enough to meet a woman, but we both lost our child. I resigned myself to my fate for the rest of my life! But I never expected to be so lucky to have you as my apprentice! So I treat you like a son!"

"Originally, I planned to practice medicine here until I grew old, but last time I went out with Mengfei to run some errands and received some guidance from a master. My cultivation, which had been stagnant for many years, has shown signs of progress again! That's why I've come to the mountains this time! I might come back, or I might not, it's hard to say!"

"Division..."

Su Ziyang was about to speak again when Daoist Jin stopped him once more.

"Regarding matters of cultivation, just listen to what Mr. Mengfei says. Don't ask about or inquire about my affairs! Also, I have one more request of you."

"The first skill I'll teach you, you can't fall behind; you can only work even harder to practice it."

"Secondly, medical skills must be further improved; a true physician possesses both the Great Physician's Sincerity."

Third, the girl is very good; they should get married as soon as possible.

"Master..."

Su Ziyang called out "Master".

"Stop! Can you do what I said?"

Daoist Jin looked at Su Ziyang and said.

"Yes! I promise, Master!"

Su Ziyang nodded.

"That's good enough! Hold onto this bag! Be a good girl! Take the girl back!"

Daoist Jin stuffed the bag on the table back into Su Ziyang's arms, then got up from his chair to see Su Ziyang out.

When Fairy Li heard the noise outside stop, she also came out of the house.

When Daoist Jin saw Fairy Li come out of the house, he smiled and said to Fairy Li, "Girl, I know you have great abilities too. Take good care of Little Ziyang!"

"Of course! Don't worry."

Fairy Li nodded and readily agreed to Daoist Jin.

Su Ziyang was "escorted" out by Daoist Jin while holding his bag.

After getting in the car, Fairy Li chuckled as she looked at the bag in Su Ziyang's arms, "What treasure?"

"The land deed, of course. This courtyard is ours now. Hey, Master Jin said he's going into the mountains to cultivate Daoism, and he won't let me ask any questions!"

Su Ziyang spoke to Fairy Li as he drove.

"Tch, it's an adult matter, what right do kids have to ask about it!..."

Su Ziyang was speechless.

Daoist Jin said he was leaving, and he moved very quickly.

Mr. Mengfei returned the next day, and Daoist Jin was to set off on the third day.

Su Ziyang also wanted to go to the station to see Daoist Jin off, but Daoist Jin refused.

Su Ziyang didn't know why Daoist Jin wouldn't allow it.

At the entrance of the small courtyard, Su Ziyang stopped Daoist Jin.

"Master, I have no way to repay you for the skills you have taught me, so I kowtow to you!"

Su Ziyang knelt down in front of Daoist Jin with a thud and kowtowed three times.

As Su Ziyang kowtowed, Daoist Jin's eyes also reddened. He patted Su Ziyang on the shoulder. "Good lad, treat patients well! Pass on the skills I taught you!"
