“Youyun, Youfu, what do you think about what happened today between Han Yang and Young Miss Duanmu?”
Han Youyun and Han Youfu exchanged glances, knowing their father was testing them.
They felt that Han Yang had simply been lucky today.
But their father was extremely wise.
He had long guessed that someone would try to intercept them on the road, so he specifically hired a security team to hide within the convoy and followed the Duanmu Family’s caravan to avoid danger.
There was no need to worry about bandits or anything else along the way.
“Father, his luck was good, otherwise he might have been killed by Lu Yuanba.”
Han Da looked at his two sons, who couldn’t articulate anything profound.
He didn’t blame them, as they were still young, but he had to teach them what needed to be taught.
He hoped his sons would take fewer detours in the future, especially since the next time they offended someone, it might not be settled with just a single leg.
“Youyun, Youfu, the main reason Han Yang was able to turn misfortune into fortune today was due to ‘Human Harmony’.”
“Even if Duanmu Xi hadn’t come today, he wouldn’t have died.
Lu Yuanba had long since lost the intent to kill; he was just figuring out how to let him go gracefully.”
“Therefore, a man of the Dao gains much support.
This Human Harmony was accumulated by Han Yang through his usual conduct and dealings; it was absolutely not accidental.”
“Although I, your father, don’t know what the Immortal Sects are like, since they are composed of people, there won’t be much difference.
They are merely a larger prince’s manor, or perhaps a larger Jiayuan City.”
“Even this world is nothing more than a larger prince’s manor.”
Han Youyun and Han Youfu deeply felt that their father’s ability to rise from a mere servant to a head steward was not due to luck, but genuine wisdom.
The two respectfully said.
“Father, your sons understand.
“Avoid offending people whenever possible.”
Han Da looked at his limping second son, nodded slightly in relief, but then shook his head and said.
“Youyun, what you said is both right and wrong.”
“Building good karma with others and not easily offending people in the future are both correct, but you must also not fear trouble.
If you truly offend someone, you must seize the opportunity to annihilate them in one strike, leaving no room for reprisal.”
“If your strength is insufficient, absolutely do not show it.
A great man can bend and stretch; there is no need to compete over temporary gains or losses.”
“Today I kneel and kowtow, but tomorrow, it might be me standing while others kowtow to me!”
Time flew by, and evening arrived.
The Duanmu Family’s convoy, along with several other convoys from Jiayuan City, found a small town they were passing through and prepared to spend the night there.
Several teams of carriages stopped in front of a row of inns.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Han Yang asked with some curiosity,
“Oh right, Duanmu Xi, doesn’t your third uncle have a flying boat?
Why did your family come by carriage then?”
“We still have half a month of travel left; won’t that be too tiring?”
Duanmu Xi, tired from the long journey and having chatted with Han Yang all afternoon, was already extremely sleepy.
She rubbed her eyes and said,
“Brother Yang, I’m so sleepy.
Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Han Yang didn’t press further.
Under the Duanmu Family’s arrangement, he entered his room, ate something, and prepared to rest.
However, as soon as he lay down, he immediately slapped his thigh, thinking, “Oh no!” Because Duanmu Xi seemed to have already explained some basic knowledge of cultivation, he had spent the entire day chatting about cultivation.
He had completely forgotten about Xiao Hei. Get faster updates on g.com.
But then he immediately thought that since their destination was the same, he would eventually find Xiao Hei.
He just needed to pay more attention tomorrow.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the town, the Wang family had also checked into an inn.
At this moment, Han Xinghua stood by the window, gazing in the direction of Jiayuan City, as if trying to see something through the thick night, her eyes filled with an unresolvable sorrow.
Han Xingzhi, her younger sister by one year, was already exhausted from being jolted by the carriage all day.
Seeing that her elder sister was not resting, she said,
“Sister, it’s getting late.
You should rest quickly.
We still have to set off early tomorrow morning.”
“Xingzhi, if you’re sleepy, go to sleep first.
I’m not sleepy yet,” Han Xinghua said.
Although she was very tired, she couldn’t fall asleep.
This was the first time in seven years that she had truly been separated from Han Yang.
Although it was only half a day’s journey, she felt as if they were as far apart as the ends of the earth, so far that they might never meet again in this life.
As Han Xinghua thought, her vision began to blur.
Seeing that her elder sister wasn’t sleeping, Han Xingzhi was curious about what she was looking at.
She also walked to the window and looked out.
“Oh, Sister, look, isn’t that bird Xiao Hei?
It looks so similar!”
