Just as they finished eating the rabbit meat and before they could even wipe the grease off their mouths, Tao Ran and Fang Linfeng returned.

The two were also starving. When they saw that Ling Ziqian and his group had actually grilled something to eat, with bones scattered all over the ground and even cookie wrappers, they immediately felt cheated and were extremely angry!

Chen Hua and the others were very embarrassed, saying that Ling Ziqian caught the rabbit and also brought out the cookies.

Then, with her peach blossom eyes looking smugly at Ling Ziqian, she arrogantly shouted, "Hey, hurry up and catch another rabbit and roast it for us!"

Who does she think she is?!

Ling Ziqian pretended not to hear these words.

Chen Hua and Ling Ziqian had a fairly good relationship, so he felt a little awkward when Tao Ran bossed Ling Ziqian around like that.

He waved his hand at Tao Ran, "You can't just catch a rabbit whenever you want. It depends on luck."

"Even if it's not a rabbit, anything else will do, I'm hungry!" Tao Ran shouted like a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Why are you sitting there motionless? What do you mean by this?" Fang Linfeng glared at Ling Ziqian. "If you keep this up, I'll file a complaint against you!"

Ling Ziqian chuckled, "What are you complaining about me for? Not giving you anything to eat? Do I have an obligation to cook for you?"

Fang Linfeng felt awkward. Ling Ziqian was indeed not a servant and had no such obligation.

Tao Ran was extremely angry and furious. "How can you be like this? You've all eaten, but we haven't. What does that mean?"

"Where were you two when we were eating? I thought you two were sneaking around having a meal somewhere."

"..."

After Ling Ziqian said that, Fang Linfeng and Tao Ran exchanged a subtle glance, their hearts skipping a beat.

The two realized that Ling Ziqian might know something.

They immediately tensed up.

Chen Hua waved his hand, telling everyone to calm down.

Seeing that Chen Hua wasn't angry, it seemed he didn't know what had happened.

Fang Linfeng shouted that he was going to find something to eat and walked away quickly.

Chen Hua pulled Tao Ran to sit down beside him. After eating his fill, he was in a good mood and took Tao Ran's hand to apologize.

Chen Hua went with Tao Ran, while Bai Yuanyuan, who had sprained her ankle, sat on the ground, feeling extremely depressed.

Wu Long, a man who was usually reserved but secretly passionate, went up to talk to Bai Yuanyuan, but was ignored.

After exchanging a few words, Chen Hua and Tao Ran actually kissed in public.

Ling Ziqian couldn't bear to watch this scene and turned his head away.

Not long after, Fang Linfeng brought back a few wild apples, and he and Tao Ran finally finished their lunch.

After everyone had eaten, they sat around the fire for a while to dry their wet clothes, and then continued searching for material samples.

Bai Yuanyuan sprained her ankle. Sometimes Chen Hua helped her, sometimes Fang Linfeng helped her, and sometimes Ling Ziqian helped her.

The reserved and secretly passionate Wu Long even wanted to carry Bai Yuanyuan on his back, but he didn't even have a chance to touch her.

During the search for material samples, everyone encountered insect bites, but fortunately Ling Ziqian brought various ointments.

They encountered snakes several times, and if Ling Ziqian hadn't been quick-witted and agile, one of the five of them would definitely have lost his life!

Before nightfall, with the help of Ling Ziqian's compass, everyone successfully returned to the mountain city.

After spending a whole day outside, the five of them had truly suffered.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Ling Ziqian never told Chen Hua about Tao Ran and Fang Linfeng's intimate relationship.

After parting ways with them, Ling Ziqian ate some compressed biscuits and returned to the garden villa.

Upon entering the house, to everyone's surprise, Yanxian was actually in the kitchen preparing dinner.

She urged Ling Ziqian to take a shower and then come out for dinner.

After a month of hardship, I can finally enjoy myself.

Ling Ziqian quickly went to take a shower and changed into a set of dry clothes.

Stepping out of the bathroom, he saw Yanxian sitting in the living room, with two boxes of instant noodles on the coffee table.

Ling Ziqian was speechless. He had really overestimated Yan Xian. She was probably in the kitchen boiling water to make instant noodles.

"Eat quickly, I added an extra egg for you, it won't taste good if it gets soggy."

"Oh."

Ling Ziqian picked up his instant noodles and started eating, feeling dejected.

Yanxian was also eating. She took a bite of noodles, puffed on her cigarette, and casually asked, "How's today?"

"What do you mean, how?" Ling Ziqian didn't understand what Yanxian was asking.

"No results?" Yan Xian glanced at Ling Ziqian.

"I'm filled with rage!" Ling Ziqian said with a dark face. "Those people have always treated me like a servant!"

"Is that all?" Yanxian said with disappointment. "It seems you're nothing special after all."

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. "Master, is it really a form of training for you to make me work as a bodyguard today?"

Yan Xian nodded and gave a casual reply.

Ling Ziqian was completely baffled. "What exactly is it supposed to train me in? My temper? I have a very good temper!"

“Train your perspective on the world,” Yanxian said.

"Huh?" Ling Ziqian didn't understand.

"Although there are no two people exactly alike in this world, there are countless people with the same personality and the same way of dealing with people. There are many people in this world who are just like those five people."

Ling Ziqian scratched his head, somewhat unable to understand what Yan Xian was saying.

Yan Xian smiled and explained, "Since you're a student, I'll use school as an example. Every class in school is different, but no matter which class you're in, you can find mischievous students who don't like to study, and you can find students who are diligently studying."

"There's nothing strange about this," Ling Ziqian said, feeling frustrated.

Yan Xian continued, "In every class, there are some particularly mischievous people, some who are beautiful, some who are average-looking, some who are handsome, some who are withdrawn, and some who are outgoing..."

"You may not think this is a rule, but these are the rules. Some people have discovered that certain people in modern times look very similar to the terracotta warriors of ancient Qin. This is an interesting discovery. Perhaps in ancient times, there were people who looked exactly like us now!"

"Master, what are you talking about? You've gone off on a tangent."

"That's not far enough!" Yan Xian laughed. "Let me go back even further. Scientists say that the Earth is 46 billion years old. I won't talk about ancient civilizations or anything like that. I just want to ask you, what would happen to the Earth if one day it became uninhabitable and humanity disappeared?"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. "If humans disappear, it doesn't mean other life forms will disappear. Even if the Earth's environment is harsh, some life forms can still live well without humans."

"That's right. Without humans cutting down trees and polluting rivers, the Earth's environment will get better and better. Maybe in a few years, new intelligent life will evolve on Earth and build civilizations like humans. But no civilization can exist forever. When the civilization built by intelligent life collapses, in a few years, as long as the Earth is not destroyed, new intelligent life will evolve again. Then, civilization will reappear, and then be destroyed again..."

Ling Ziqian understood what Yan Xian meant: it was a kind of reincarnation, or more accurately, a cycle!

"Let's get back to your task for today."

"...Is my task today related to this cycle?"

"Whether it's related or not depends on your perspective. You've been an outsider today, so you've seen the true nature of the relationships between these five people."

Ling Ziqian nodded.

Yanxian laughed, "Whether they have a crush, are in a relationship, or are cheating, it has nothing to do with you. You stand aside and think they are very childish or stupid. Sometimes, when facing your own problems, you can also treat them as an outsider."

"..."

"Think about the vastness of the universe and the brevity of life. Everything in the world is in a cycle, a vicious cycle. I just talked about the world, now let's talk about people. As you probably know, in a person's life, the number of times they get angry is more than the number of times they smile. Every day of a person's life is a cycle."

"We live the same life every day, but we can break free, escape the vicious cycle, and enjoy life!"

Hearing this, Ling Ziqian understood what Yan Xian was trying to say. This guy was trying to persuade him and stop him from taking revenge.

Episode 50: "Walking Your Own Path"

Chapter 394 How should we plan for the future?

To convince herself, Yanxian went to great lengths, mentioning both Earth and the universe.

That's right, everything in the world is in a cycle.

A person's life is a cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

A person's day cycles through joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Whether alive or dead, we are all part of this cycle.

It's really quite sad to think about.

Compared to the vast universe, a human life is very short and insignificant.

Looking at life as a whole, this trivial matter is not worth making a big fuss about.

No one can escape birth, aging, sickness, and death, so let's escape joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Both Yan Xian and Yu Meiren escaped that life of deceit and treachery.

They live in places they love, do things they love, and are with people they love. (Giant East Pool Garbage)

Almost every day they lived was filled with happiness.

Taking everything lightly and living each day comfortably—that's what they pursue in life.

At this time, Ling Ziqian also understood this principle.

However, even if Ling Ziqian understood, he couldn't let it go; he wasn't yet able to be so indifferent.

“Master, many people in this world understand this principle, but why are there so few who can actually put it into practice?” Ling Ziqian asked Yan Xian.

Yan Xian smiled. She didn't answer Ling Ziqian's question. "I've told you what I needed to say. As for how you choose, that's your business."

"When can I leave?"

Have I restricted your freedom?

Ling Ziqian was taken aback by Yan Xian's question.

What Yanxian meant was that she could leave whenever she wanted!

Huan Yue immediately started yelling, telling Ling Ziqian to go home, because she missed Cupid.
