Under the cliff of Qingyun Mountain.
Daoist Tai Hua was a little nervous.
He was as nervous as when he taught Su Changyu the Sword Dao for the first time.
However, the only difference was that he knew that Su Changyu was a good-for-nothing, but Ye Ping was a genius.
Fortunately, he did not come today to teach Ye Ping anything.
He mainly wanted to teach Ye Ping some principles of life in the world of immortal cultivation.
"Tai Hua, you can't embarrass yourself in front of a disciple. You have to stay calm!"
Daoist Tai Hua constantly warned himself to stay calm and not embarrass himself in front of Ye Ping.
While Daoist Tai Hua was constantly reminding himself …
Ye Ping had already stood up.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Ye Ping's voice made Daoist Tai Hua snap back to his senses.
Ye Ping was a little nervous.
During this period of time, he had gotten used to Su Changyu and the others, but since it was his second time meeting the Sect Leader, Ye Ping was naturally a little nervous.
After all, it would be up to the Sect Leader whether he could continue to stay in the hidden sect.
"Ye Ping, don't be so polite."
Daoist Tai Hua's expression was calm. Ye Ping had yet to officially acknowledge him as his master, so he couldn't address him as a disciple.
"I came to look for you today because I have a few things to tell you."
Daoist Tai Hua's expression was very calm, and Ye Ping was also full of curiosity as he didn't know why the Sect Leader suddenly looked for him.
"Sect Leader, please go ahead."
Ye Ping seemed very respectful, not only because the other party was the Sect Leader, but also because he owed him a great debt of gratitude. Although Daoist Tai Hua had yet to accept him as a disciple, Ye Ping felt that Daoist Tai Hua was already his master.
Even if Daoist Tai Hua really expelled him from the sect one day, Ye Ping wouldn't have any resentment. He would always remember his kindness.
"Here's the thing, your eldest Senior Brother should have told you about the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time. You have to work hard and set off in three days."
"However, the purpose of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time is not for you to get a good ranking. Instead, I hope that through this experience, you can truly understand the world of immortal cultivation. Of course, it would be best if you can get a good ranking."
"However, this trip might last for several months. You're still inexperienced and there are many things in the world of immortal cultivation that you don't know. Hence, I specially came to give you some pointers, lest you encounter trouble and you don't know how to solve it."
Daoist Tai Hua said.
Hearing this, Ye Ping's heart couldn't help but feel warm. To be honest, it was just a trip down the mountain, but he didn't expect the Sect Leader to be so worried about him. How could Ye Ping not be touched?
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
Ye Ping bowed and thanked him.
"Then sit properly, Sect Leader wants to ask you a few questions."
Daoist Tai Hua asked Ye Ping to sit down so he sat down too and looked at him.
Soon, Daoist Tai Hua spoke up.
"In the world of cultivation, there are thousands of people with thousands of faces. If there is good, there must be evil. So, when you meet someone who is doing evil, what should you do?"
Daoist Tai Hua's expression was extremely solemn.
He took the initiative and asked.
Ye Ping pondered for a while.
Then, he said, "As a disciple of the righteous path, when you see someone doing evil, you should save them and teach them a lesson, right? Enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens? "
Ye Ping answered.
However, that answer was exactly what Daoist Tai Hua wanted.
"Wrong!"
Daoist Tai Hua shook his head and said.
"The world of immortal cultivation is extremely dangerous. We cultivators may be from the righteous sects, but before you help others, you have to consider a question. Do you have the ability to help?"
"If you don't have the ability, you'll be courting death if you go up. If you die, how are you going to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven?"
Daoist Tai Hua's words were clear and logical.
After hearing it, Ye Ping couldn't help but nod and feel enlightened.
'Yes, so what if I'm an orthodox cultivator? ' If I encounter someone who is doing evil, I'll be courting death if I can't beat them. '
'How can I enforce justice on behalf of Heaven if I die? '
"So, if you encounter someone who is doing evil, think about it before you make a decision, understand?"
Daoist Tai Hua warned Ye Ping with a serious expression.
"I understand."
Ye Ping bore those words in mind.
"Sect Leader, what if I can beat them?"
Ye Ping asked.
As soon as he said that, Daoist Tai Hua couldn't help but be stunned.
'Can I beat them? '
He had never considered that question before.
It was because he had never won before.
"If you can, beat them to death. Ye Ping, remember what the Sect Leader said, you have to be straightforward when you do things. Don't provoke others, but once you do, don't let them off."
"You don't have to kill them, but you have to beat them into submission. Beat them until they're afraid of you and terrified of you. If you have a huge feud with them, don't be merciful and don't be merciful."
"The human heart is unpredictable. Sometimes, you might be merciful and let them off, but they won't appreciate it."
"Ye Ping, remember what I said. If you want someone to admit their mistake, you have to use your fists instead of your mouth. Do you understand?"
Daoist Tai Hua was extremely serious.
He had done a lot of research on that issue.
"Got it."
Ye Ping nodded. He understood.
He had to admit that the Sect Leader of a hidden sect was indeed different.
Ye Ping initially thought that Daoist Tai Hua would say something like 'we're from a righteous sect' and we have to uphold justice when we encounter injustice. '
However, he didn't expect Daoist Tai Hua to teach him that. It could be said that he was genuinely nice to him.
"Ye Ping, let me ask you again. If you encounter an enemy and an inevitable battle breaks out, will you choose to hold back or go all out?"
Daoist Tai Hua continued to ask.
"Hold back!"
Ye Ping answered subconsciously.
"Wrong!"
However, Daoist Tai Hua's voice soon sounded.
"You're gravely mistaken. If you have an inevitable battle with someone, you shouldn't hold back. Instead, you have to go all out. Don't underestimate your enemy. Even if you've perfected the Qi Refinement realm and he seems to be only at the first level of Qi Refinement, you can't underestimate him."
"Ye Ping, remember what the Sect Leader said. Never underestimate anyone. When you have an inevitable battle with someone, all you can do is to go all out. Don't think about holding back. In a real battle of life and death, the enemy won't give you a second chance, understand?"
For some reason, Daoist Tai Hua seemed extremely furious when he said that.
"I understand."
Ye Ping nodded.
He understood those words better.
'Yes, there are many hidden talents in the world of immortal cultivation. '
For example, he might seem to be at the second level of Qi Refinement, but in fact, he had re-cultivated once. Even cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refinement would not be able to defeat him.
If he encountered an enemy who was the same as him and underestimated him, he would be dead if the other party went all out.
Daoist Tai Hua was right.
The enemy wouldn't give him a second chance to attack.
'If I die, I die. '
'No matter how strong I am, no one will speak up for me if I die. '
'Okay. '
'If I encounter an enemy in the future and really fight, I won't hide anymore. '
Ye Ping made a mental note of that idea.
"Ye Ping, remember what the Sect Leader said. It's fine if you don't interfere in anything, but once you do, don't drag your feet and leave behind future troubles for yourself lest you get involved in karma. Do you understand?"
Daoist Tai Hua's words were a real lesson.
Although he had been mediocre all his life, he had at least lived to this day. In this life, he had seen countless old friends die at the hands of demons and fellow clansmen.
The world of immortals was bright, but there was also a dark side. Just because one couldn't see it didn't mean that it didn't exist.
"Sect Leader, I have already remembered all of this. Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader."
Ye Ping bowed to Daoist Tai Hua sincerely.
"Since you understand, I didn't make this trip in vain."
"In three days, you will follow your eldest Senior Brother to the Qingzhou Ancient City. Think about what I said just now."
"However, there's one more thing. Think about everything you encounter. Don't regret your decision."
"After settling the matter, you must reflect on it. You must think carefully about whether you did the right thing, whether you did the wrong thing, where you did the right thing, and where you did the wrong thing. Understand?"
Daoist Tai Hua patted Ye Ping's shoulder and said so.
"Got it."
Ye Ping nodded seriously.
"Okay, work hard."
Daoist Tai Hua didn't say anything more because he had already said what he needed to say.
He got up and left with his back facing Ye Ping. Although his back looked a little depressed, he was extremely majestic in Ye Ping's eyes.
Five minutes passed.
Ye Ping snapped out of his thoughts and continued to comprehend the Sword Dao.
He was going to go down the mountain in three days, and he hoped to comprehend the new sword move that his eldest Senior Brother had taught him within these three days.
Hence, he didn't want to waste time.
