The sun sets over the western mountains, and the solitary smoke rises.

Eight people were seated at the dinner table. It was rare that everyone sat at the table together today, so it was a bit more lively than usual.

"Second Senior Brother, why did today's breakfast change?" Cheng Daliang, who was sitting opposite Wen Junchen, asked.

"Today's breakfast was not made by me." Wen Junchen said with a smile.

"Who is that? I thought it tasted good."

"It's my junior brother."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes showed surprise. They didn't expect that this young junior brother could have such a skill.

"Not bad...not bad..."

“Tastes okay”

“I’ve been eating pancakes for several years, so it’s nice to change the taste...”

All of a sudden, words of praise came out from everyone's mouth, making Ye Changshan feel a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Brothers and sisters, just like it...just like it..."

"I think you are tired of eating the pancakes I make over the years, right?" Wen Junchen teased with a smile.

"without…..."

Ye Changshan was a little anxious and quickly waved his hands to deny it.

"Hahaha--"

There was a burst of laughter from the table.

Seeing that all the senior brothers and sisters were smiling so happily, Ye Changshan did not explain any more and simply expressed his thoughts directly: "Second senior brother, you and third senior brother are already busy with our homework and practice. I’m all doing some work for everyone, I’m thinking… I’m thinking that in the future, I’ll be the one responsible for everyone’s breakfast and dinner…”

Wen Junchen's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Changshan and nodded with satisfaction, saying: "Okay, since you have the heart, then it's up to you."

"Finally I can change my taste..." Ji Yangyu said to himself. But his voice was a bit loud, and everyone at the table could hear it clearly, but he didn't seem to know it. Then he nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Not bad."

When Yingping saw all the uncles nodding in praise of Ye Changshan's decision, he felt a little envious for no reason and said loudly: "I, uncles, what should I do for the mountain gate?"

But after he finished speaking, everyone stopped joking and seemed to have some doubts about Yingping's ability.

Yingping was anxious and quickly explained: "Uncle Third Master said, 'There is no place in life without practicing cultivation.' I think Uncle Seventh Master cleans the yard every day and it is quite a practice to cultivate one's mind. I, I also want to..."

"Then what kind of work have you done?"

"Well... laundry! Yes! I washed my adoptive father's clothes before going up the mountain."

Wen Junchen and Ji Yang looked at each other. After a brief eye contact, Wen Junchen turned to Yingping and said, "Okay, from now on, these uncle's clothes will be handed over to you."

…

After dinner, Yingping did not go back to his room for the first time. He came to Wen Junchen's room and said he wanted to ask his master for advice on some homework problems.

"Master, what is the meaning of the sentence 'Three armies can seize the commander, but a single man cannot seize the will'?"

...

"Master, what about 'The way of a gentleman is as follows: if you travel far, you will always be near; if you climb high, you will humble yourself'?"

...

"Master, then..."

...

Yingping kept asking questions, and Wen Junchen patiently answered questions and doubts. Wen Junchen was half happy and half puzzled that Yingping was suddenly so "easy to learn" tonight.

My disciple is quite smart, but most of it is 'little cleverness'. Moreover, most of the 'little cleverness' is used for laziness and almost no use in studies. As the master, Wen Junchen often reminds others of being 'smart'. It is not enough to have 'wisdom', but he is often fooled by Yingping, which makes Wen Junchen very helpless. So today Yingping can take the initiative to ask for advice, no matter what the purpose of this kid is, Wen Junchen Not even planning to reject him.

After the time of three sticks of incense passed, Yingping's stomach was empty and he couldn't even ask questions. But the strange thing was that he hesitated and stood aside speechless and refused to leave. This was abnormal.

Wen Junchen felt a little strange in his state.

"Yingping, are you worried?"

Seeing that his true inner thoughts were exposed, Yingping stopped being coy and asked bluntly——

"Master, you must know who my biological father is, right?"

"I......"

Wen Junchen was completely confused by the question. Even if Yingping took out all the books in the Central Plains and asked him to explain its meaning, he would have answered confidently. But this time, he knew the relationship but could not answer it.

That day, the teacher called him and his third junior brother to the shabby room, and solemnly explained to them the whole story and their future tasks. When he learned all this, Wen Junchen was very excited. He had always been

He was so calm that he couldn't control himself——

He understood that this was an opportunity, an opportunity that would last forever! Everyone has something to ask for, whether it’s money, profit, sex, or status... Regarding this, Wen Junchen always relied on his high status and thought that he was in a poor family.

After that, he had no desire or pursuit. But it was not until that day that he recognized himself again - he was seeking fame!

However, even after getting to know himself again, Wen Junchen always warned himself that he could not get caught up in "false reputation" and must be based on reality. So these days, he always regarded Yingping as his direct disciple who was closer than his "son".

Do not choose the content of teaching from Yingping's perspective.

But at this time, facing Yingping's question, it was really difficult for him to answer, not only because he swore with his third junior brother in the shabby room that day that he would not tell Yingping privately, but... now is really not the time.

.

Seeing his master hesitate to speak, Yingping felt a little frustrated.

"I have no other choice as a teacher...it's just that the time has not come yet!" Wen Junchen sighed helplessly.

The words of his master and adoptive father were exactly the same, and Yingping felt helpless. He felt a little wronged and powerless, and even felt confused. His biological father knew his existence but refused to recognize him. No matter how serious your difficulties were,

At least let me know who you are?

Yingping, who had always been heartless, now felt a sense of loneliness and abandonment. Frustration welled up in his heart, and his eyes moistened.

Wen Junchen sensed Yingping's pessimism, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yingping, your father is a great man."

Yingping raised his head and looked at his master in confusion.

"Your father is very great, and it is precisely because of your father's greatness that he has offended many people. It can be said that he is now surrounded by enemies."

"Then, is he in danger now?" Yingping sounded worried.

"Don't worry. Although your father is surrounded by enemies, he is still strong."

"Then I..."

"So, the only thing you need to do now is to become stronger. When the time is right, he will naturally come to you. You have to believe in this!"

"Master, I have been adopted by others since I was born. He...he..."

"This is also your father's difficulty... I hope you can understand and don't bear grudges against him..." Wen Junchen sighed helplessly.

Yingping stopped talking. For all these years, he didn't know that his biological father was still alive. Ever since he learned that his biological father was still alive, he didn't have much resentment. Although there were some small resentments when he was sleepless at night, he

What can a teenage boy know? What’s more, I still want to know who he is and the truth of what happened back then.

"There are many things in this world that you cannot control, even your father."

Wen Junchen seems to have seen through Yingping's inner world, and seems to be defending his biological father, but he seems unwilling to mention it too much.

"Then...the people who killed my mother, are they...still there? Did my biological father help her get revenge?"

Wen Junchen stared at Yingping and didn't speak for a long time.

Then, he raised his hand and patted the disciple's shoulder gently, sighed, and slowly said: "I'm tired of being a teacher. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow."
