Chapter 58: Mysterious Energy

n them widened again.When they were about fifty meters apart, Wang Lin signaled Zhang Meng to slow down and kept a certain distance from the monster.In this way, back and forth several times, the Taoi...Wang Lin pulled Zhou Qi aside and whispered, "Who is this fat guy He seems really impressive."

Zhou Qi then pulled Wang Lin away, quietly retreating like they were avoiding a plague god. This made Wang Lin even more curious about Zhou Xing.

This fat guy is just a piece of meat that's always at the bottom. Since he's always last, his power is about the same as mine.

The only difference was that he participated in every martial competition, but he completely disregarded literary competitions. Therefore, few of the younger generation in the family could beat him.

And he didn't care about the power under his name. Let others do whatever they wanted, as long as he could settle it himself by personally confronting them. Whoever messed with him, he would beat them up.

As long as it doesn't involve outsiders, the elders turn a blind eye to fights and brawls between family members.

"So over the years, not many people have dared to mess with him. You saw the person who just provoked him; they were completely helpless against Zhou Xing."

After a brief introduction to Zhou Xing, Wang Lin surprisingly developed a fondness for him, despite not knowing much about him.

The two continued walking through the manor. Zhou Qi kept telling Wang Lin about things related to the Zhou family, but Wang Lin simply responded briefly. He didn't really want to know much about the Zhou family; to him, the Xie family was still too far away.

Reaching a lakeside pavilion, Wang Lin stopped his steps, closed his eyes, and opened his arms, quietly feeling the coolness and dampness brought by the lake water.

Zhou Qi, seeing this scene, didn't urge him. He just lightly sat down in a chair and stared blankly at the lake.

"Sigh, with clouds and mist swirling, mountains rising in layers, trees forming swathes of green, and grass as emerald as jade, dotted with a few bright flowers, it's truly a place for cultivating the body and mind!"

Although Wang Lin's home was in the mountains, they were not unfamiliar to him. However, those were abandoned and wild mountains, completely incomparable to the scenery before him.

Zhou Qi heard Wang Lin's words and smiled lightly, "If you like it, you can come often in the future. Although my status in the family is not high, I still have more than enough to arrange a person."

"It's okay, even the most beautiful scenery will lead to aesthetic fatigue if you see it every day. When you encounter similar landscapes in the future, you might feel less moved. In that sense, it wouldn't be as beautiful anymore."

"Suit yourself! Perhaps your mindset is different from mine now."

"Wealth is ultimately an external thing. You and I used to value it greatly, but after going through some things, I've come to see it differently now."

"Haha, I'm getting more and more the feeling that you're like a hermit. If I only heard you speak, I'd think you were an elder."

Wang Lin heard these words, his heart moved, and he also reacted. He wondered what was wrong with him. He was only in his twenties, how could he speak so pompously, and how had his outlook on things changed so much compared to before

He had doubts in his mind, Lao Er also heard the same thing. He thought for a moment and still reminded Wang Lin, "I have been learning knowledge on my phone recently, maybe some of the things I read have affected you."

Wang Lin was a little curious, "What did you see that it had such a big impact on yourself!"

These are some Taoist books that talk about the Way of Heaven, natural principles, and the concept of wu wei (non-action).

"What are you looking at all this for I'm still young, and I don't want to devote myself entirely to truth; I don't care about fame or fortune!"

"Don't watch this kind of stuff anymore, if you really can't stand it, learn a foreign language!"

"You're not learning foreign languages in bed, are you"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin was stunned for a moment before reacting, his face full of black lines. "What kind of TV drama are you watching! It's just about mastering a foreign language normally!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. From now on, I'll go learn foreign languages!"

Zhou Qi, who was standing beside him, saw Wang Lin's angry expression and cautiously called out. Wang Lin looked at Zhou Qi and immediately put on a smile, awkwardly managing his expression.

"It's nothing, I was just reflecting on myself. Sorry if it was awkward."

"Brother, you're amazing! You can even be angry with yourself. Big brother admires you!"

Wang Lin listened to Zhou Qi's words, always feeling that something was wrong, but looking at his serious expression, he didn't think much about it.

"Let's take a stroll around some more."

"Okay! Let's go!"

The two continued on their way. After what had just happened, Wang Lin had put away his indifferent expression and became somewhat appreciative, envious, and longing.

Zhou Qi took everything in, "That's right, this is the expression a young person should have when they come here for the first time."

Perhaps Wang Lin's changing expression influenced Zhou Qi, as he began to explain the scenery in much greater detail unconsciously.

After all, having a Awakener by your side who constantly envies and hates you while you explain things, anyone's vanity could be greatly satisfied.

One has to play along with the pretense, you never know, there might be a pleasant surprise.

No, just as he reached in front of a rockery, Zhou Qi was still talking incessantly about the history of the rockery. He said that the feng shui master had looked at over a hundred rockeries, but only this one met his requirements.

The master at the time said that this artificial mountain had once been watered by the blood of a true dragon, and it had the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting the home. Standing here, it could make all within ten miles around free from evil spirits and mosquitoes would avoid the area.

Wang Lin curiously touched it. The moment his fingers made contact, he froze, his eyes widening with excitement. He felt a scorching breath enter his body, swirling around him before settling at his heart.

He tried to compel it, but there was no response. He tried to communicate, but still no response. Well, never mind. Whether it's good fortune or bad luck, it can't be avoided.

He retracted his hand and continued to act nonchalantly, looking around with a look of amazement. Zhou Qi was delighted and went on to describe things in more detail.

"Second brother, do you know what that is"

"I don't know, but since you were chosen, there must be a reason. We just don't know it yet."

"Well, it's pointless to ask you. I already know what you know."

"How cheap are you!"

"Haha, you keep busy!"

After Zhou Qi finished speaking, Wang Lin also looked at him appropriately, with an expression of "I see," which once again deeply satisfied Zhou Qi's vanity.

The two of them walked for a long time, and every place Wang Lin reached, he would touch it. But it seemed like their luck had run out, as they didn't encounter any unusual reactions anymore.

To this, Wang Lin felt a slight regret, but he quickly put his mood back together. It was already great to have an unexpected joy. One should be content.

The two of them walked in a large circle, and when they returned to the martial arts arena, it was almost noon. Zhou Qi directly pulled Wang Lin towards the manor restaurant.

Wang Lin stared blankly at the gigantic restaurant before him, "Is this a restaurant This looks more like a building! It must be twenty or thirty stories tall!"

"Hee hee, there are 26 layers in total, each with different flavors of food. Which one do you want to eat Just take it and eat it."

"Damn capitalism! I feel like my thoughts are being severely corrupted at this very moment!"

Wang Lin rubbed his chest dramatically, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he looked at this "building" of a restaurant.

"Haha, little brother, you're kidding! Come on in!"

Zhou Qi walked proudly into the restaurant, chest puffed out and stride long.

At this moment, an impatient voice came.

"Out of the way! Out of the way! A good dog doesn't block the path!"ed out of the exhibition hall in groups of three or two.The manager kept talking behind Wang Ying, but Wang Ying acted as if she couldn't hear a word, riding away on her electric bike without looking...
