Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin was immediately put in a difficult position.

He is an introverted person, so it wouldn't matter if only Lu Linglong came back.

But Lu Linglong brought her friends from the capital with her, which gave him a real headache.

When we meet, I'll inevitably have to greet Lu Linglong's friends and exchange pleasantries.

And what he's least good at is dealing with these kinds of social situations.

That's why he wanted to invite Li Chang'an along as well.

Unexpectedly, Li Chang'an refused.

Seeing Lu Lin standing there fidgeting, Li Chang'an asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Lin sighed and confessed honestly:

"Senior brother, I'm not very good at handling social situations with lots of people. You're much better at dealing with these things. When you first came to the Lu family, you were able to remain calm and indifferent to all the praise from the elders. I thought you were really amazing back then."

Li Chang'an burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Is he good at handling things?

He's clearly a master of creating awkward silences.

However, Lu Lin was right about one thing.

He is indeed better at handling this situation than Lu Lin.

Because he doesn't care about other people's feelings and opinions at all.

He's comfortable with awkward silences and doesn't feel any psychological burden about them.

If you don't feel embarrassed, then it's others who feel embarrassed.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Li Chang'an agreed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin felt a great sense of relief. With his senior brother backing him up, he felt much more at ease.

Lu Lin didn't linger and happily said goodbye and left.

Watching Lu Lin's figure disappear at the courtyard gate, Li Chang'an turned around, went back into the house, ate the food that had been brought to him, tidied up briefly, and then continued his meditation.

As evening approached, Lu Lin arrived on time.

He changed into a pure black short-sleeved shirt and black casual pants, dressed entirely in black.

Li Chang'an was still wearing that loose-fitting white Sanyi robe, his white clothes as white as snow.

The two people, one in black and one in white, create a striking visual contrast.

After leaving the Lu family compound, the two took a car to the train station.

The current train station still retains its old-fashioned appearance. It is an old station building built in 1982, with upturned eaves and white and green tiles on the exterior walls, which are already somewhat mottled.

However, the economy is currently booming, and large numbers of high-rise buildings are springing up around the area. Everywhere is being demolished and new buildings are being constructed, and the station is no exception. Half of it is surrounded by green netting and scaffolding, and it is in a phase of renovation and operation at the same time.

The car stopped at the edge of the square, and Li Chang'an and Lu Lin got out.

The station square was bustling with people at that moment.

Steam rose from the roadside cart selling tea eggs, travelers carrying burlap sacks hurried by, and the loudspeaker above announced train schedules.

On the distant railway tracks, the train's whistle echoed dully.

Li Chang'an and Lu Lin stood at the exit, like two magnets, instantly attracting a lot of attention.

Lu Lin's slightly wavy, center-parted textured hair, his tall and upright figure, and the dark circles under his eyes from years of training and studying in shifts gave him a faint melancholy air.

This slightly decadent and melancholic temperament perfectly matches the current aesthetic, giving off a similar vibe to the recently viral "Brother Sharp," but a high-end version of Brother Sharp.

In the past, when Lu Lin walked down the street, she would not only attract a lot of attention, but some bold girls would even come up to her and ask for her contact information.

Lu Lin was not good at handling this kind of situation, so she could only keep a straight face and use aloofness to cover up her awkwardness.

But today, when he went out with Li Chang'an, he had no such worries at all, and he felt very at ease.

Because most of the attention was stolen by Li Chang'an.

White hair, no matter the era, is unique.

In particular, Li Chang'an's white hair was full of vitality, with a shimmering luster, and was definitely not the inferior, dry, yellowish-white color produced by hair dye.

Her waist-length hair cascaded down like frost and snow. Standing there, she didn't look like a real person, but rather like an immortal who had stepped out of a painting, exuding an inhuman aura inside and out.

This inhuman feeling made some of the girls who wanted to get to know them hesitant to approach, and they could only observe from a distance and whisper among themselves.

The two stood at the exit.

Li Chang'an stood ramrod straight, his white hair reaching his waist, his eyes calm as still water.

Lu Lin put one hand in her pocket, moved her ankle slightly, and glanced into the exit passage every now and then.

The train slowly pulled into the station.

A flow of people began to emerge from the exit passage.

A small head with pink hair popped out from the bustling crowd.

It was Lu Linglong.

Several years have passed, and the little bean sprout has grown into a graceful young lady.

Her long pink hair swayed in the wind like a lively little flag.

Lu Linglong, standing in the crowd, wore a bright yellow short-sleeved shirt and carried a bulging backpack. Her naturally rosy cheeks were made even redder by the heat, making her eyes appear exceptionally bright.

She spotted Li Chang'an and Lu Lin immediately; they were so eye-catching that it was impossible not to see them.

Lu Linglong immediately stood on tiptoe, raised her arms high, and waved them vigorously.

"Big Cousin!"

"Brother Chang'an!"

Li Chang'an turned his head, and in his vision, the crowd became a blurry background, with only Lu Linglong's figure clearly visible.

This is the result of his habitual introspection over the years.

He deliberately suppressed his external perceptions.

When you do something, do it wholeheartedly.

When you look at an object, look at it attentively.

If you are distracted by other people and things around you while doing something, you will undoubtedly have many distracting thoughts and will not be able to concentrate or be focused.

This kind of undivided focus is something that only practitioners with extremely high levels of spiritual cultivation can achieve.

However, this also has its drawbacks.

That is, it is easy to overlook other people and things around you, and it is also easy to overlook the conspiracies and tricks against you.

This can be said to be a common problem among the strong.

That's how the old Celestial Master was. Back then, the very old Celestial Master criticized him a lot, saying that he was an arrogant lion who could never see the malice around him, nor could he see the little tricks his junior brothers made to catch up with him.

Li Chang'an is the same now; when he looks at Lu Linglong, he only sees Lu Linglong.

But Lu Lin was different. When he saw Lu Linglong, he also noticed the two people following behind her.

There were two girls.

A tall, slender woman with long, straight black hair and black-rimmed glasses had her eyes darting rapidly between Lu Lin and Li Chang'an behind the lenses.

The other one was slightly shorter, with short, light purple hair and a round, baby-faced appearance.

At this moment, she was staring intently in the direction of the two of them, her mouth slightly open, lost in thought.

Fortunately, there were only two friends. Lu Lin breathed a slight sigh of relief and then went to greet Lu Linglong with Li Chang'an.

Lu Linglong, carrying large and small bags, rushed over and circled around Li Chang'an, her eyes wide open, looking him up and down, and letting out a series of exclamations.
