I'm in the world of Xianjian

Chapter 240 Master-disciple conversation

Lin Shen came to the spirit pool and saw Qi Nongxia sitting on a big rock beside the spirit pool.

Qi Nongxia held her chin with both hands, her eyes full of disappointment. Lin Shen walked up to Qi Nongxia, but did not say anything, just looked at her silently.

Qi Nongxia didn't notice Lin Shen beside her. A quarter of an hour later, a hand appeared in front of Qi Nongxia, with a steamed bun in it.

Qi Nongxia looked along her arm and found Lin Shen beside her. She said, "Master, you're here?"

Lin Shen said, "It's been a while. I saw you were in a daze, so I didn't disturb you."

Qi Nongxia looked at the water again and said with a frustrated look, "Master, I'm sorry, I embarrassed you."

Lin Shen said, "Why did you embarrass me?"

"I...I failed to defeat the skeleton soldier that Master summoned."

Lin Shen had a nonchalant expression on his face and said, "So that's what it is. I thought it was something else."

Seeing Lin Shen's nonchalant attitude, Qi Nongxia said, "Master, I failed your assessment. Isn't this embarrassing for you? Why do you act so nonchalant?"

"Then Nong Xia, let me ask you, why did I set a test for you?"

"This..." Qi Nongxia was speechless when she thought of this.

"Nongxia girl, you have to understand that the purpose of setting up tests is not to make you feel good, but to discover your weaknesses and improve them through fighting with the enemy.

I really want you to experience the feeling of being a winner. I could just capture a few grass monsters, or cripple those skeleton soldiers' fists and feet so you can beat them up. That would be it."

Qi Nongxia seemed to be lost in thought and asked, "Master, what do you think of Nongxia's performance today?"

Lin Shen said, "To be honest, you've only been studying for a month, and you have absolutely no foundation. This is already very difficult, and I see the effort you put in every day. Do you know why I agreed to take you in?"

Qi Nongxia immediately had a face full of question marks and asked, "Isn't it because I passed the test you set for me that you accepted me?"

Lin Shen said, "Don't forget, you attacked me, but you didn't even touch me. According to the standard you set today, you failed."

Qi Nongxia lowered her head, and Lin Shen continued, "Nongxia girl, you have to understand.

I accepted you because I admired your determination to become stronger in order to protect others. Lack of ability can be slowly made up for, but a broken heart can never be mended."

Qi Nongxia thought about what Lin Shen said. After a while, Qi Nongxia said, "Master, can you tell me about your past?"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "You little girl." After that, he handed the steamed bun to Qi Nongxia and said "hmm" to the bun. The meaning was very clear, that is, if you don't eat, I won't tell you stories.

Qi Nongxia understood, so she took a bite of the steamed bun in her hand. Lin Shen said, "That's more appropriate."

So Lin Shen told Qi Nongxia everything that had happened to him since he had traveled to this world, and Qi Nongxia listened to the story while chewing steamed buns. Lin Shen continued to talk about his past until late at night.

At first, Qi Nongxia just treated Lin Shen’s past as an ordinary story.

The further you go, especially for Zhao Linger's awakening, the more you search for elixirs;

He even searches for magical weapons and merges with them in order to change the fate of Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru;

In the end, in order to destroy the ancient mythical beast, he fought against it alone.

Qi Nongxia suddenly felt that she had underestimated Lin Shen before. He was even stronger and more gentle and considerate than she had imagined. She also understood why the four sisters were willing to follow him.

Lin Shen was a man who would not hesitate to sacrifice his own life for the people he cared about. Qi Nongxia could not imagine how much Lin Shen had suffered when absorbing those swords.

After a long while, Qi Nongxia weakly asked, "Master...can I become as powerful as you?"

Lin Shen looked at the little girl in front of him and thought: You don't have any cheats, and you don't have the aura of a protagonist, so you probably won't have a chance. But he couldn't suppress the little girl's self-confidence.

Lin Shen said, "How should I put it? I hope you can remember your original intention and the reason you came to me. After becoming stronger, you can protect the people you care about. Instead of simply pursuing power, it's easy to go astray."

Qi Nongxia looked puzzled, and Lin Shen continued, "In fact, many people get things wrong. In my hometown, someone said this:

It is not because you have the power that you should do something; it is because you want to do something that you seek power and use it.”

Qi Nongxia hadn't fully understood what he was saying, so Lin Shen continued, "Think about it, why was I able to successfully rewrite the fate of Ling'er and Yueru? You have to understand, this is going against the will of heaven."

Especially your sister Ling'er, she is a descendant of Nuwa, and the descendants of Nuwa are destined to have a bad end.

And it was precisely to rewrite all of this that I sought out power and took it upon myself, so that I could fight the Moon Worshiper and the Water Demonic Beast and successfully kill them."

Qi Nongxia was lost in thought after listening to this, recalling that when Qijia Town was massacred by the Black Tiger Village, she could only watch her parents and fellow villagers being killed by bandits.

When I was powerless, I longed to be saved by others. I understood Lin Shen's words a little bit.

Lin Shen looked at Qi Nongxia who was thinking with her head down, and said, "Okay, Nongxia girl, there are some things that you can't understand just by me telling you. You need to experience them yourself.

It's getting late, you should go to bed early. You still have to practice tomorrow. I won't let you off just because I've talked so much and stayed up late today."

Qi Nongxia smiled and said, "Okay, Master, I understand. I'll go back then."

Lin Shen took Qi Nongxia back to Shuiyue Palace. After entering Shuiyue Palace, everyone else went to sleep, only Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru did not sleep, but waited for them in the hall.

Qi Nongxia bowed and apologized, saying, "Sister Ling'er, Sister Yueru, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Lin Yueru poked Qi Nongxia's forehead with her finger and said unhappily, "You still remember to come back. We were worried about you. If you do it again, I'll close the door and make you stay out all night."

Zhao Linger came over and said gently, "Okay, Sister Yueru, don't scare her. Don't scare her."

Lin Yueru took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. Sister Nongxia, one failure doesn't mean anything.

Learn from your mistakes and fight back next time. This is just your first failure. When I was a kid, I failed countless times."

Qi Nongxia nodded and said, "I understand, Sister Yueru. Nongxia will continue to work hard."

Zhao Linger leaned over, gently patted Qi Nongxia's shoulder, and said, "That's good, isn't it? Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."

Qi Nongxia hummed, then went back to her room to rest. Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru also returned to their rooms. Lin Shen was left alone in the hall, staring out bored.
