The thing we complain about the most is' other people's children '.
At that time, we were young and willful. We felt that life was our own. We can live as we like, we can do as we like.
We wanted to squander our youth, we wanted to sing to the wine, we wanted to get tattoos of our personalities, we wanted to wear weird earrings in our ears – drinking, fighting, playing games and going to bars. If we didn't do all these things, how could we tell others that we were young once?
Fang Yan was also one of the millions of children.
What they didn't know was that after parents had children, their lives were extended to their children. They cheered for the first sound you made, and they cried when they heard you say something unclear like 'BABA' or 'MAMA'.
They cared about your studies and valued your growth. Every achievement you made, they were happier than you. Every skill you acquired, they were prouder than you. Children were the greatest wealth of their parents. They were eager to let the whole world know –
However, what they thought was in conflict with what their parents wanted.
Their children thought, why should I live for you? Why should I win honor for you? Why should I satisfy your so-called self-esteem? Why should I let you have face in front of your friends and neighbors?
However, did they ever think that their parents, who were willing to sacrifice their lives selflessly, would they really want anything from you in return?
They just wanted you to live a better life, just a little better – that's all.
At that time, Fang Yan didn't understand this truth.
He hated Fang Yixing's rigidity and liked the old drunkard's flexibility more.
He rejected Fang Yixing's scolding and punishment and liked his mother's' earnest teaching 'more.
He felt that his father was too selfish. He didn't want to take on the responsibility of revitalizing the family, but he kept forcing himself to work harder and harder –
As he grew older and more experienced, as he missed his father more and more, Fang Yan gradually understood this truth.
Parents were willing to sacrifice for you selflessly, so you have to take on the responsibility as a child.
Love is capricious, but also leads.
If he could do it all over again, Fang Yan only hoped that Fang Yixing could live well, and he was willing to live for Fang Yixing.
Let him share the joy, let him feel the glory.
So that he could point at himself in front of anyone and say, "His name is Fang Yan, and he is my son."
Unfortunately, it was too late for Fang Yan to realize this.
By the time he learned how to be a good son, his father had already left.
Fang Yan sat in front of Fang Yixing's tombstone, his body trembling as he whimpered.
He did not want his mother, Lu Wan, to know how sad he was, so he covered his mouth to prevent himself from crying.
However, what he didn't know was that Lu Wan, who was in the cluster of chili peppers, had already burst into tears and collapsed to the ground weakly.
In the main hall of the Ye Clan, all the important figures of the Ye Clan were gathered.
The eldest of the Ye Clan's Three Tigers, Ye Daowen, sat in the middle of the hall, drinking tea. Although he looked indifferent, the frequency at which he drank was a bit too high. From this, it could be seen that he was very worried.
The third tiger, Ye Daoling, who held a high position in the political world and was known as the 'Minister of Economic Concealment', sat next to his eldest brother. He frowned slightly and didn't hide his displeasure on his face.
His fingers kept shaking, as if he was playing an impassioned tune.
The second son, Ye Daoxian, had to carry out a secret mission in another place and couldn't be present. However, his wife, Li Shuhua, had been waiting by the Ye Clan's ancestor for a long time, serving the old lady to eat some melon seeds and snacks.
The younger generation of the Ye Clan, Ye Fengsheng, Ye Daoling and the others didn't even dare to breathe loudly. They sat on small chairs like obedient children, not daring to make a sound.
"Eldest brother, aren't you a bit too anxious?" Ye Daoling's tone was not without complaint, "How old is Teng Nuo? Does she need to break through now? How long has it been since she broke through last time? Is she ready? "
"That's what I said, but I can't change what Teng Nuo has decided. When she was young, she was too lenient. When she grew up, she became independent and didn't listen to anyone —"
Ye Daowen glanced in the direction of the ancestor and said, "That one spoils Teng Nuo too much. The two of them have decided the matter. What right do I have as a father to speak? You're not a member of this family? Don't you know the situation better than me? "
"If you can't stop it, then don't stop it? This is not a small matter. If we go to the Mo Bei or even learn from the Fang Clan to go to the extremely cold land, we can grit our teeth and accept it. But to run to do such a dangerous thing — "
"What were we doing when Teng Nuo was so old? I remember that at that time, I had just practiced the White Tiger Fist. When I saw my fist had the power of a fierce tiger coming down the mountain, I was so excited. I felt that I was a genius. After seeking the Dao, I continued to ask questions. At such a young age, I was forced to understand some principles. Now I want to covet the Heavenly Dao. Is it so easy to reach the Heavenly Dao? Practicing martial arts and seeking the Dao can't be rushed. What if the Heavenly Dao backfires? "
"Ye Daoling, shut your crow's mouth." The ancestor scolded Ye Daoling rudely in front of many juniors and said, "Do you have the steadiness of an elder? The child hasn't even come out yet, and you're already cursing her from the side? "
Ye Daoling's face was full of grievance and said, "Ancestor, how am I cursing Teng Nuo? Is there such an uncle? I just feel that Teng Nuo is too anxious. You say, a girl, why does she practice martial arts so well? Even if she wants to practice martial arts well, it's fine. She can do it slowly. No one is competing with her. Besides, even if someone wants to participate, no one is her opponent, right? Who in the younger generation in Inner Jianghu can compete with her? It's us of the older generation. Anyway, I'm far inferior to Teng Nuo. Even if big brother is much stronger than me, he's not as good as Teng Nuo, right? You are now in the early stage of Dao Seeking? Middle stage? Do you have the guts to go to the Heavenly Dao? "
"What about Fang Yan?" Being despised by his own younger brother, Ye Daoling said with an unhappy expression, "I heard that he broke through again in Huacheng. A few days ago, the old master of Zhang Family was still talking about the light of Tai Chi, saying that he is a rare Tai Chi genius. The people of Taoism also attach great importance to this matter. Didn't the old master of Tianji Temple go to the Fang Family's old house to visit Old Master Fang? We don't know what they said, but at least it proves that Taoism attaches great importance to this matter, right? "
"You mean, Teng Nuo wanted to force her way through because of the pressure from Fang Yan?" Ye Daoling asked with a surprised expression, "Teng Nuo is not such a person."
"Of course, Teng Nuo is not such a person." Ye Daoling said. He still had some understanding of his daughter. "Teng Nuo won't compete with others."
"Then she still wants to force her way through?"
"She just doesn't like others to be stronger than her." Ye Daoling said with some embarrassment. "In her opinion, it's natural that she is stronger than others. If others are stronger than her, then she hasn't worked hard enough."
"—"
Ye Daoling sighed softly and said, "I hope everything goes smoothly."
"I still feel that all of you are too careless." Ye Daoling said softly, "The Ye family is now like the sun at high noon. Father and I are developing in the political world, Second Brother is developing in the military, Eldest Sister and Second Sister are doing business, and Third Sister is doing her best as a university professor, echoing us in the academic world. These aren't our greatest trump cards. What's our greatest trump card? "
"It's Ye Gentle. It's the possibility of our Ye family producing a Heavenly Dao realm expert. Teng Nuo's reputation is out there. Even the leader behind the red wall has mentioned her to me more than once. He even said that I should send his greetings to Teng Nuo and get her to train well. If she has any difficulties, she can directly report it to him. Even the country places great importance on this matter. How can we treat it like child's play? "
"If Teng Nuo succeeds this time, it will naturally be a joyous occasion for us. Teng Nuo will become the first expert of our Ye family to pry into the Heavenly Dao in a hundred years. Be it the political world or the pugilistic world, they will have to look at our Ye family in a different light. They will have to reposition their relationship with our Ye family. However, if Teng Nuo fails — "
Ye Daoling was a politician, so he had to explain the interests involved to his elder brother. He wanted him to understand the importance of Ye Gentle to the Ye family.
"This time is different from the past. If you can't find the Dao, you can continue searching. If I can't get the truth out of asking, I can just ask again next time. If I can't get it the first time, I'll ask again. If I can't get it the second time, I'll ask again.
Ye Daoling pointed to the sky and asked, "What is the Heavens? It's mysterious and unknown. It's endless. The Heavens is sacred, majestic, and inviolable. If a mortal tries to pry into the true face of the Heavens, they will suffer a backlash from the Heavens and be punished. Some people will be punished with serious injuries or even death. Some people will never be able to recover from this, never having the heart to practice martial arts again. Elder Brother, we might lose more than we gain. "
The patriarch was enraged as he grabbed a pear from the coffee table in front of him and smashed it at Ye Daoling's head.
"Get out. Ye Daoling, get out — "the patriarch said angrily.
Ye Daoling didn't dare to dodge as he allowed the pear to hit his head.
