Li Qiushui then approached Qin Wu, a worried look on her face: "Master, are we really going to abandon her?"

"Has she been cultivating properly these past few days?"

Li Qiushui shook her head and said lightly, "At first, he cultivated with his junior brothers in a proper manner, but after a few days he just wandered around aimlessly, doing nothing all day long, and it seems that he doesn't care about cultivation at all."

Qin Wu stopped and slowly said, "It's alright. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, let her be. As the saying goes, you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep. If she doesn't want to cultivate, even if you put a knife to her throat, it won't help."

"How will we explain this to Senior Ouyang?"

"Judging from what Senior Ouyang said, he doesn't expect her to achieve anything at all. She must be the kind of person who doesn't know what's going on in the Ouyang family. Senior Ouyang doesn't want her to continue thinking like that, so he made her become a disciple of my Xingyi Sect."

Li Qiushui nodded slightly, said nothing more, and had no choice but to leave.

Just then, Qin Wu smiled slightly as he looked at Yuan Kun and Yun Du Ruo, who had silently arrived at the back of the mountain.

"What brings you two grandmasters to my humble abode?"

Yuan Kun laughed heartily and said boldly, "Your place is considered a small place. The spiritual energy on your Chunshan Mountain is so rich that in a little while it will be no less than a blessed land. Compared to this, my place is not even as good as a doghouse."

"Du Ruo and I are going to guard the city in another dimension in a few days. I don't know how long it will be before we see each other again. The wine I stole from my great-grandfather last time is still here with you. Today I'll have a good drink with you."

"To be honest, I used to be fearless and thought I was invincible among my peers. But after meeting you and Brother Leng, I realized that there are many heroes in the world. My obsession was gone, and I didn't expect to break through without even realizing it."

"It's a pity that Brother Leng is currently in seclusion, otherwise it would be even more perfect."

Qin Wu's expression showed slight surprise. It seemed that he hadn't used innate spiritual energy, but had broken through on his own strength. Finally, he asked curiously, "Is Leng Ruxiang in seclusion?"

"According to his elder brother, it seems that he gained some enlightenment during the battle of Star Moon City, and after returning, he went into seclusion and hasn't come out since," Yuan Hu said with a sigh.

At this moment, Yun Du Ruo asked in confusion, "When I came up just now, I think I saw Ouyang's little girl. How come she's here with you?"

"you know?"

Yun Du Ruo pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "Speaking of this girl, she is actually a pitiful person. Her parents died in battle shortly after she was born, and now she is the only one left in Elder Ouyang's lineage."

All the seniors of the Ouyang family doted on her to the extreme, treating her like a precious gem, and indulging her every whim from childhood to adulthood. With a Nascent Soul ancestor behind her, no matter how big a mess she made, someone would always smooth things over for her.

Senior Ouyang didn't want her to suffer any more harm, so she doesn't even know what this plane is like yet..."

After a long while, Qin Wu sighed softly, a complex look appearing in his eyes. If he had descendants, he would probably want them to live carefree lives without any worries.

However, for a martial artist, this is merely a beautiful but unattainable dream.

The three then drank heavily until late at night, until the half-jar of wine was completely empty, before Yuan Kun finally left, still feeling unsatisfied.

Chapter 469: Tu Nan (1)

Ouyang Tunan has been at Xingyi School for a month now.

Aside from the first few days when she practiced martial arts with the disciples of Xingyi School, she spent the next few days wandering aimlessly.

She was thrilled to find that no one was paying attention to her or lecturing her.

This place is like paradise. When she was in the Ouyang family, no one stopped her from going wherever she wanted, but there was always a group of people following her. Some uncles from the collateral branches would earnestly tell her to cultivate properly and not to be naughty all day long.

So she would deliberately cause trouble, and she would be especially happy to see others scrambling around.

The Ouyang family treated her like a raging flood, and she didn't have a single true friend. Despite her seemingly glamorous life, she didn't even have a single confidant.

But after arriving here, no one restrained her anymore. She could do whatever she wanted, and she completely let herself go, running around like a madwoman.

However, after half a month, he was completely tired of this life. No one was against him, and he seemed unable to integrate into the life of Xingyimen.

Everyone inside seemed to be cultivating frantically. She took out a lot of pills and invited them to play with her.

The answers obtained were all strikingly similar: elixirs are merely external things, and martial arts require one's own efforts to continuously improve.

It was already past midnight, but Ouyang Tunan was wide awake. She leaped onto the rooftop, the cool moonlight shining on her, casting a long, slanted shadow behind her.

At that moment, she felt an unprecedented loneliness.

Just then, she heard a slight noise coming from the training ground. She walked over quietly and saw a white figure practicing spear techniques on the training ground. He wielded the long spear with great skill, and sweat dripped from his handsome face, leaving a watermark the size of a coin on the ground.

Li Qiushui had already sensed Ouyang Tunan's arrival, but he did not stop. He continued to practice the Five Elements Spear Technique with undivided attention, repeating it again and again until he was exhausted.

"Why do you practice martial arts so diligently every day? What's the use of being strong?"

Li Qiushui, panting heavily, said calmly, "Everyone has their own purpose. Some are for fame, some for profit, and some for reaching the pinnacle of martial arts..."

"And what about you? What's your reason?"

Li Qiushui pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "At first, I just wanted to become a strong person. But one day, when I watched helplessly as my comrades died in front of me, I knew that I cultivated martial arts to protect others."

I was an orphan from a young age. I am deeply grateful to my master for taking me in as his disciple and treating me like family. I have no way to repay him but to become strong enough, strong enough that one day I can stand on my own without his protection, strong enough that those I care about will never be harmed again.

Ouyang Tunan remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "That's great... Do you all look down on people like me?"

“Everyone is equal, and no one has the right to look down on anyone else. It’s just that everyone lives differently, isn’t it?” Li Qiushui said calmly, looking into Ouyang Tunan’s eyes.

He had rested well and was ready to enter a state of cultivation again.

At this moment, Qin Wu stood under the eaves, looked at the two of them and said slowly, "It's so late, why aren't you resting? Don't you understand the principle of moderation?"

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··

Li Qiushui immediately put away her gun and respectfully said, "Yes, Master."

Ouyang Tunan also bowed slightly to Qin Wu, then turned and walked towards the backyard. Suddenly, she turned around and said, "Master, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you."

Qin Wu was slightly taken aback, then said, "Ask away."

"That day, the first time you met me, you said my name was good. What exactly made it good?"

Qin Wu was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"Looking back over nine thousand miles, the wind is below, and only then can one ride the wind; bearing the blue sky on one's back, nothing can hinder one's progress, and only then can one plan to go south."

When I first heard your name, I knew your parents must love you very much and hope you would grow up to be a person with lofty aspirations, so they named you Tu Nan.

Ouyang Tunan paused slightly. Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had particularly disliked this name. Tunan sounded like her parents wanted a boy, so they gave her this name.

At the time, Qin Wu said the name was good, but she had some reservations. Now, after hearing Qin Wu say this, she suddenly realized the truth.

A mist welled up in Ouyang Tunan's eyes, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a choked voice:

"Master, I want to go home."

"Well, go ahead. Go early and come back early."

Afterwards, Ouyang Tunan bowed to Qin Wu and walked down the mountain.

Qin Wu watched her departing figure, sighed softly, and murmured, "How can one fly high and far living under the wings of adults? Tu Nan... I hope that one day you can truly soar to great heights and ride the wind for thousands of miles."

Chapter 470: News Arrives (2)

Two days later, Ouyang Tunan returned to the Xingyi School.

Upon meeting, he knelt down and said in a choked voice, "Please, Master, teach me martial arts."

Qin Wu didn't ask her what she had experienced on her way home; he simply nodded solemnly.

He then summoned her to the training ground and said sternly, "Since you want to learn the martial arts of my Xingyi School, then forget everything you have learned before. Can you do that?"

Ouyang Tunan nodded firmly.

Then, Qin Wu loudly proclaimed, "All the moves of my Xingyi School originate from Xingyi Five Elements Fist. Watch closely, I will only demonstrate it once!"

He then proceeded from the Three-Body Stance to the Five Elements Fist, and finally to the Twelve Hong Hammers, demonstrating each of the "five-five-seven" techniques.

He fought extremely slowly, as if each punch weighed more than ten thousand pounds, but each punch made the void rumble.

After finishing the fight, Qin Wu let out a long breath, which was like a white ribbon that shot out for a hundred meters before slowly dissipating.

"There is no shortcut to practicing Xingyi Quan. It is all about diligence. The more you practice, the more you will understand its essence. You should start by practicing the most basic San Ti Shi stance."

Ouyang Tunan nodded and began to practice meticulously.

At this moment, the surrounding disciples slowly gathered around and watched her practice Xingyi Quan. They all spoke up and generously pointed out any mistakes she made, without giving her any special treatment just because she was a martial artist with the Hua Jin skill level.

"Junior sister, you are so lucky that your master is willing to personally teach you."

"Yes, most of our boxing techniques were taught by our senior brother."

"Hey, you bunch of people, can't you let me practice my boxing in peace? Aren't you annoying? Junior sister, look, the power in this punch is a little off, so it can't unleash its full strength..."

"..."

Ouyang Tunan didn't feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she was a little touched. Few people could genuinely care about her without any ulterior motives.

The training ground was bustling with activity. Qin Wu, watching this scene from the side, smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, Natasha walked over gently and stood beside him, sighing softly as she said, "It feels so good to see these children like this now. If only there were no enemies from other planes."

Qin Wu smiled slightly and said, "I feel like what you're saying is like an old mother looking at her child."

Natasha glared at Qin Wu, her face slightly annoyed, and turned to leave.

Qin Wu grabbed her hand, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "How about we have a child after I become a Grandmaster?"

Natasha was stunned by his words, staring at Qin Wu in disbelief. Tears streamed down her face as she nodded repeatedly, her voice choked with sobs, "You...you're proposing to me?"

Qin Wu nodded slightly, and Natasha immediately threw herself into Qin Wu's arms, crying even harder, soon soaking Qin Wu's clothes.

Qin Wu gently pulled Natasha into his arms, unsure how to comfort her.
