20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3640 I Stand on the Pillar and Look at the Sea
Zhao Chang'an could understand Wen Ye's words. His judgment came from the height of his thinking in this field over the past two years, as well as from comparing and learning from the actions of other ancient martial arts masters.

Just like Old Man Li, Li Juan still doesn't quite understand, but Meng Xuedong understood it a long time ago. Wen Ye took a little longer to understand, while Zhao Chang'an didn't pay any attention to it at all, only realizing it after Wen Ye reminded him.

Old Li is actually a very impressive person, but also an extremely selfish one.

This can be seen from Li Juan. A tomb raider who associates with "nobles, wealthy people, famous scholars and romantics" has gold, silver and jewels, antiques and calligraphy hidden in the cave behind him, yet he lets his daughter drop out of school before graduating from junior high school and stay at home to farm.

The real idea was to keep her ignorant self around as a servant.

With such great abilities, he only taught her one skill: the "Back Mountain Kung Fu" to strengthen her muscles and body.

This technique was taught to a woman.

After mastering the skills, one becomes strong and physically robust, developing a muscular physique similar to that of a man. Moreover, this brute force, which overcomes all other skills, makes one less inclined to delve into deep thought and critical thinking.

Just like Li Juan now, she still runs to the nearby park every day to rub against the big trees like a wild boar, and longs for the big camphor tree in the villa's yard to take root quickly so that she won't have to run so far anymore.

Wenye advised Li Juan that if she really wanted to learn, he could hire a teacher for her to practice other things, but Li Juan refused outright, so he let her be.

However, in the end, Old Man Li could not escape the backlash of his ancient martial arts fate. Only at the very end did he have a moment of kindness and entrust his daughter to Wen Ye and Zhao Chang'an for care.

There's also Meng Xuedong, who only stayed with Old Man Li for less than a year. Old Man Li couldn't fool him, and he ran away before becoming an apprentice, which showed his cleverness.

Even when Zhao Chang'an and Xiao Lan first visited Old Man Li's house, the strange shadow of Old Man Li flickering in the firelight in the courtyard kept Zhao Chang'an on high alert. With his eyes, which were more than 40 years old and could see through people's hearts, he could tell from his intuition that this seemingly pitiful old man was treacherous, cunning, ruthless and heartless.

Throughout his interactions with Old Man Li, Zhao Chang'an harbored deep suspicion and harbored a hidden strength, ready to launch a sudden counterattack.

There was also the White Dragon King. From the first time he heard this name, Zhao Chang'an felt that it was like the true name of the true gods in Western mythology. When this name was mentioned, in the void, in the dark sky above the nine heavens, a true god corresponding to the true name opened his eyes and looked down.

When he heard this somewhat comical name, he knew that this was the 21st century, a new century and a new era, a time that emphasized science. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was forbidden to become a demon. However, he also felt a chill run down his spine as he turned away from that side.

He had a premonition that he would eventually become entangled with the White Dragon King.

As expected, Li Xin (Bai Feifei), Meng Xuedong, Bai Ling, Bai Yide, and then Xia Wenzhuo being taken in as a closed-door disciple by the White Dragon King, completely ensnared Zhao Chang'an.

So, if Ye Pinghe wants to see me today, just like Wen Ye said after he learned that he had changed his plans, "If Ye Pinghe wants to see you, you can visit his research institute on my behalf."

Like a race of the same angel hidden in the vast mortal world, even if each individual is scattered in an endless forest, these individuals can always transcend space and even time to perceive and touch each other's existence.

"Whoosh—" Because they were standing by the sea, the sea breeze had become much stronger. Although the ocean acted as an equalizer of specific heat capacity, which neutralized the cold air currents from the north and west despite the high latitude, the near-zero temperature and the force of four or five winds meant that Zhao Chang'an was the only one who could stand here and enjoy the scenery.

Looking at the railing by the sea, Zhao Chang'an suddenly had an idea. He bent his knees slightly, then jumped lightly onto the pillar of the railing in front of him. He stood upright on the pillar, which was less than 10×10cm, gazing at the sea.

"Wow~"

The waves rhythmically lapped against the stone breakwater on the shore, and the seawater below was an eerie deep blue, indicating that the sea below the stone wall was very deep.

Standing so high up, the sea breeze caused the hem of Zhao Chang'an's coat and his hair to flutter slightly.

Zhao Chang'an is the president of OneNanometer, but he is also a music enthusiast who has loved playing the guitar for several years. He also has a bit of an artsy vibe in his bones. He is quite resistant to haircuts, so his hair, which hasn't been cut for more than a month, has grown a bit long.

So the sea breeze can actually make your hair flutter and smell.

A bus drove past the road behind Zhao Chang'an and stopped at a bus stop not far away.

The station was completely empty until someone got off.

The bus drove away again.

Zhao Chang'an heard the sound of riding boots on the stone slabs of the path. His heart stirred slightly, and he turned his head to look down towards the source of the sound. There he saw the elegant beauty he had seen at the bus stop earlier.

"Sir, it's very cold up here, and the seawater down here is even colder."

The beautiful woman walked quietly to a spot three or four meters away from Zhao Chang'an, seemingly afraid of upsetting him, and said softly, "Why do you have to stand here in this cold weather? If you don't mind, I can treat you to a cup of morning tea. It's not far, just up the street ahead. A hot coffee and a cinnamon roll, wouldn't that be nice?"

Zhao Chang'an couldn't help but smile, knowing that the Nordic beauty in front of him, who was holding her breath and speaking cautiously to him, thought that he had some unique idea and wanted to jump down to take a bath.

Zhao Chang'an continued to look down into her beautiful sapphire eyes, and said to her with the rigorous academic attitude of a science student, "Your argument is wrong. At this time, the temperature of the seawater here is greater than the temperature of the sea breeze."

He stretched out one hand, his five fingers slightly spread, palm facing the direction of the sea breeze, letting the sea breeze blow through the gaps between his fingers, and said, feeling the wind, "The current wind speed is a force 5, which can make the body temperature feel six to ten degrees. So, according to this logic, it is colder standing here than in the seawater."

Zhao Chang'an's logic left the Nordic woman speechless. She thought to herself, "I dare to stand here in the cold for an hour, but would you dare to jump in and soak in hot seawater for an hour?"
However, she could never say these words, because the reason she got off the bus halfway was because she saw this man, whom she had just met once, standing there looking lonely and dejected, as if he was about to jump. She wanted to do something to prevent the tragedy from happening.

It wasn't an encouragement for him to jump.
