Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?

"Um?"

Seeing his master staring intently at him with a solemn expression, Li Muxuan was taken aback: "Did I do something wrong?"

He recalled it carefully.

"No……"

After entering the sect, he always kept his master's teachings in mind, no longer pretending, but with a sincere heart. He really wanted to follow his master and cultivate himself well.

"Master?"

Seeing her master lost in thought, which was unusual for him, Chengzhen called out softly, and Zuo Ruotong finally responded.

"Um……"

"Chengzhen, come with me and tell me about Li Muxuan in detail."

"Master, are you still worried?"

  

He remained noncommittal, simply telling the three children to wait there, then turned and went into the study: "Help me recall everything about Li Muxuan from the time he entered the sect until now, tell me all the details you can remember..."

He closed his eyes and listened.

When his master was unusually serious, Chengzhen immediately straightened up and began to describe in detail everything from when Boss Li came to the door until the morning practice.

Zuo Ruotong then realized that Ming Chen hadn't been hiding all along; he had done some things at the beginning of his soul transmigration. Considering his "speculation" about Liu Deshui, he concluded that Ming Chen must have used his special ability to see something.

"Judging from Chengzhen's description, Li Muxuan's talent is indeed quite good, and he is very suitable for cultivating 'Reverse Life,' but..."

He had asked Zhang Xilin about Li Muxuan, but Zhang Xilin didn't know much about him. He only knew that Li Muxuan had studied at the Sanyi Sect and received some training, but he had not formally entered the sect.

Later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly joined the Quanxing Sect and became the disciple of the "Ghost Hand King". After mastering the skill, he used his "Reversing Eight Directions" technique to cause trouble everywhere, specifically targeting righteous disciples and causing a lot of chaos.

It is said that Wugensheng joined the Sanyi Sect that time because of him...

"Could it be revenge?"

Just because I didn't let him into the sect, he held a grudge?

Zuo Ruotong knew that there were such people in the world, especially those from the Quanxing sect.

Based on the situation over the past six months and the investigations conducted outside, although the child is mischievous, he is not a bad person at heart. With proper guidance, he can surely become a successful person.

Especially since Mingchen slapped him half a year ago, he not only didn't resent it, but instead realized his mistake...

"A child who can find their own way..."

"Is this all an act?"

The moment this thought arose in his mind, he immediately dismissed it. He was well aware of the profound mystery of Mingchen's supernatural ability, which allowed him to observe the heavens and the earth, as well as people's hearts. If someone truly harbored resentment, they would not escape his notice.

"unless……"

"Is Ming Chen up to no good either?"

He suddenly shook his head, realizing that this wasn't right. If he just speculated here, he would only breed countless doubts and lose his way...

But the thought that the Trinity legacy would be cut off made him uneasy.

He pondered for a long time...

"Okay, I understand."

Zuo Ruotong's eyes narrowed, as if she had made a decision. She got up and walked out of the study, coming to the children and first looking at Liu Deshui:

"Liu Deshui, your meditation skills are outstanding, so your future cultivation will not be difficult. However, considering that you shouldn't waste your strength, you can supplement your training with external martial arts. I will help you find another external martial arts master..."

"You can choose what you want to learn."

Liu Deshui was pleasantly surprised.

"Thank you, Master!"

Next was Lu Jin...

"Lu Jin, your Lu family is wealthy and powerful, you lack nothing, and your talent for cultivation is also quite good. You have no worries about anything, but this is something you were born with..."

"What's rare is your composure that you've developed. Remember to remain humble and diligent in your future practice, and you will surely achieve great things."

Lu Jin bowed respectfully.

"Your disciple will remember this!"

At last……

Zuo Ruotong looked at Li Muxuan and instructed Chengzhen, "Chengzhen, take these two children to the quiet room and wait. I will be there shortly."

"Li Muxuan, come with me..."

"Well?"

Seeing his two brothers being praised, Li Muxuan, who had been looking forward to it, suddenly felt a chill. He didn't understand why his master was being so serious with him, so he could only follow along for now.

Enter the study and close the door...

"Master, did I do something wrong?"

Since he couldn't think of a reason, and his master had taught him to be "sincere," he simply stopped guessing: "If I've done anything wrong these past few days, please enlighten me, Master!"

Because of the uncertainty, he used "guidance" instead of "punishment." Noticing this, Zuo Ruotong narrowed her eyes.

"So what do you think...?"

"What did I do wrong?"

Li Muxuan thought about it carefully again and shook his head seriously: "This disciple does not know. I only feel that I have been serious and hardworking every day and have never slacked off, so there should be nothing wrong with that."

"Hmm, then that means no."

Hearing this answer, Zuo Ruotong nodded in satisfaction: "If it's right, it's right. You can't assume you're wrong just because you have doubts... or even make up a mistake."

He had seen too many disciples and practitioners like this. No matter how talented they were, they were ultimately mediocre because they always had fear in their hearts and always used the performance of others as their judgment criteria.

"In spiritual practice, besides sincerity, you also need to believe in yourself."

"This disciple has remembered!"

Li Muxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but was still puzzled. If he hadn't done anything wrong, then why was his master...?

"After half a year of cultivation on the mountain, what are your thoughts?" Zuo Ruotong suddenly asked.

"What do you think?"

After reflecting, Li Muxuan replied, "I only feel that in the past I was too narrow-minded and looked down on cultivation. I said I wanted to embark on the path of cultivation simply because I admired you..."

"But once I truly stepped into it, I realized how profound it was. Talent, aptitude, and comprehension are just keys, only keys that can open the door. As for how far one can go... no one can say for sure."

A look of surprise flashed in Zuo Ruotong's eyes. He hadn't expected that someone so young could sense this level, especially someone from an ordinary family... It really was a "spirit"!

"So how far do you think you can go?" he asked again.

"Well... I'll go as far as I can. It's not up to me to decide. I can only focus on my cultivation first."

Zuo Ruotong nodded to himself. If one can "not make unreasonable demands," then the path of cultivation will be much broader. If he can maintain this, coupled with his talent, he will surely achieve great things in the future.

So he asked his final question: "If you achieve success in your cultivation and enter the martial world, you will surely experience the joys and sorrows of life..."

"What should I do?"

"So what if there's hatred?"

Without hesitation, Li Muxuan replied, "A drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water. Everyone knows this principle. I dare not say that I can live up to the 'spring of water,' but I will definitely repay your kindness and do my best."

"As for this grudge... I dare not lie. I have never liked to suffer losses, nor do I like to be forced by anyone or any reason. If anyone really offends me, I will definitely take revenge. As for how to take revenge, it depends on the specific circumstances."

"..."

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong already understood what was going on. She stood up, walked to Li Muxuan, and reached her hand towards his head...

He patted the child's head.

Confucius said: "Repay injustice with justice, and repay kindness with kindness... This is very good."

Regardless of what the child's future holds, he is now his disciple, so how can he be erased by "worries about the future"?

As teachers, in addition to imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts, we should also believe in our own teachings and in our students.

Impartiality, correcting any deviations, and setting a good example...

A teacher is one who is qualified to teach.
