Chapter 225 Where Xiaoshui Goes Chen Huaian and Lao Niu watched from the side without saying a word. There are many separations in this world, and each one is hard to let go. The old cow walked up to Chen Huaian and whispered, "Moo." (We should just leave like this and help him finish his affairs.) "There is basically nothing left for him to do afterwards." Chen Huaian replied. Xiaoshui's only relative was his grandfather, and now his grandfather has passed away. He is now alone. Lao Niu was unusually silent. It didn't know how Xiaoshui could survive alone. Chen Huaian shook his head slightly. This was not the world he was familiar with. He could not do much. If he was in the outside world, he could still send him to Shushan. But here, he did not know how to place Xiaoshui. "Big brother." When Chen Huaian didn't know what to do with him, Xiaoshui's voice suddenly rang out. "Ok?" "Thank you." "Need not."
Chen Huaian replied that he always did things as he pleased and did not ask for anything in return from others. He just felt that it was enough as long as he lived up to his conscience. "Big brother, can you tell me your name?" "Chen Huaian." Chen Huaian said his name. Xiaoshui was silent. Seeing this, Chen Huaian didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to comfort her. He thought that Xiaoshui should be left alone at this time. Too much comfort would only backfire. "You stay alone for now. If you need anything, come find me. I'm near your house. Just shout and I will appear in front of you." Chen Huaian said. When he was about to turn around and leave, Xiaoshui suddenly called him. "Brother Chen Huaian, you have helped me so much, I really don't know how to repay you." Xiao Shui said, and then he pulled off the jade pendant on his chest and handed it to Chen Huaian. Xiaoshui knew that Chen Huaian was a blind man and could not see, but he also knew that with Chen Huaian's powerful strength, he would definitely be able to feel what he was doing at the moment, just like when he took his jade token before, although he could not see, he seemed to know everything. When Chen Huaian saw Xiaoshui handing him the jade pendant, he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't need your jade pendant. I'm helping you out of my own heart. You can also think that I'm being kind and generous." "No, it's different. My grandfather always told me that people should know how to repay kindness and be upright. So, I would like you to accept this jade pendant." Xiao Shui paused, and then continued, "This jade pendant is useless to me, and I feel that you seem to be very interested in it. Instead of letting it be buried here, it is better to let it follow you and shine as it should." Xiaoshui spoke sincerely, he was very afraid that Chen Huaian would not accept his jade pendant. Seeing that Chen Huaian didn't respond, Xiaoshui pretended to kneel down to him. Chen Huaian quickly helped him up and said, "Don't be like this. I'll take your jade token." When Xiaoshui heard Chen Huaian say that he wanted to accept his jade pendant, he didn't plan to kneel anymore. He handed the jade pendant to Chen Huaian. Chen Huaian accepted the jade pendant. He held the jade pendant in his hand, and that gentle and mysterious feeling once again surged from his palm to his heart. "What a magical jade pendant." Chen Huaian sighed in his heart. He looked at Xiaoshui. At this moment, Xiaoshui was no longer looking at him, but at the small mound of earth. "Lao Niu, let's go and leave him alone." "Moo." (Okay.) Chen Huaian and Lao Niu left. After they left, Xiaoshui knelt in front of the grave and stared at the small hillock. ...At dusk, Chen Huaian and Lao Niu had prepared the meal, but Xiaoshui still hadn't come back. Chen Huaian frowned and said to Lao Niu, "I'll go take a look."
"Moo." (Okay.) Chen Huaian was afraid that Xiaoshui would be upset, so he came to the small earthen slope at a very fast speed. Xiaoshui did not leave, nor did he make any movements. Chen Huaian felt Xiaoshui's breath of life, which was normal. He came to Xiaoshui and said, "Your grandfather is gone. If he were still alive, he would not want to see you like this. You should cheer up now and live well." "I……" Xiaoshui spoke in a low voice. The two of them had depended on each other for many years, and his grandfather's passing was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. Chen Huaian patted Xiaoshui's shoulder gently and then left. What he said was only to rekindle Xiaoshui's hope of living. He could feel that Xiaoshui was determined to die, which was not what he wanted to see. After Chen Huaian left, Xiaoshui's expression changed. Resoluteness gradually emerged on his face and his eyes became more determined. "Brother Chen Huaian is right. If grandpa were still alive, he would definitely not want to see me like this." He spoke slowly, stood up from the ground, and left the small hill. Chen Huaian was in a corner where Xiaoshui couldn't see him. Listening to Xiaoshui's leaving footsteps, a smile gradually appeared on his face. "Being alive is the hope of everything." …… Xiaoshui returned home, where Chen Huaian and Lao Niu had been waiting for him for a long time. "Come and have dinner." Chen Huaian said with a smile. Xiaoshui nodded, her eyes slightly red, and walked towards Chen Huaian and Lao Niu. Although they didn't talk during this dinner, the atmosphere wasn't too heavy. After dinner, Chen Huaian cast a spell to make Xiaoshui fall asleep. He discussed with Laoniu how to arrange Xiaoshui's whereabouts. He is not too old now, and it may be difficult for him to live alone, but he can still survive. It's just that he lives alone now, so his personality may become withdrawn. "Moo?" (Should we find a wealthy family to adopt him?) Lao Niu asked. Chen Huaian had thought about the plan that Lao Niu mentioned, but he felt that Xiaoshui might not be willing to go. "A wealthy family must have many children. Xiaoshui might become even more lonely if she goes there." The old cow didn't say anything else. It lowered its head and was thinking about how to arrange Xiaoshui. "Moo." (If that doesn't work, teach him to practice. Practitioners can go without food for several months and still have a certain ability to protect themselves.) After Lao Niu finished speaking, Chen Huaian looked at Xiao Shui. He had thought about this idea before, but if no one taught him how to practice, his practice would be ineffective. The effort he put in was not equal to the time he spent, which might lead him to give up on himself. "We can't teach him for long, and then he can only rely on himself, which may be a bit difficult." "Moo." (I think you worry too much. There are so many cultivators in the world who practice on their own. One more of him won't make much difference. Besides, how can you be so sure? He will definitely get half the result with twice the effort, instead of twice the result with half the effort?) Lao Niu’s words made Chen Huaian frown slightly. Lao Niu’s words made a lot of sense. "It seems that I really thought too much." Chen Huaian said, he looked at Xiaoshui, and a martial arts book emerged in his mind. It was the martial arts of Shushan, and basically all disciples knew how to practice it. (End of this chapter)
