Hard to be a master

Guan Jingxuan sighed lightly, and said: "This is just one of the Guan family's thousands of 'inhumane' ones with gentle methods. During the ten years when the Guan family was the most evil and domineering, even if it was just a servant of the Guan family, I also walked sideways in the city of Yangzhou, and the time when Wei Shi was born coincided with that period. At that time, it was my grandfather who controlled the family business in the Guan family, and my father was the second son of my grandfather. With two brothers and several cousins, the Guan family is considered prosperous. Born in such a family, influenced by the elders and the atmosphere of the whole family, most of the juniors in the Guan family have learned to be self-reliant and to achieve their goals since childhood. It’s unscrupulous, and it doesn’t feel like there’s anything wrong with doing so.”

"In contrast, a teacher who neither fights nor seeks, and who does not agree with many of the Guan family's practices, seems very out of place in the Guan family, so he was not very popular with the elders since he was a child. At that time, the trend of cultivation was on the rise , almost any powerful family will select suitable young children from the family and send them to the immortal gate to practice, and then let them serve the family after they have completed their studies. Originally, the direct descendants of the clan should not be selected as teachers, but Because he was not pleasing to the elders, and he was not the eldest son, he was selected and sent to Kunlun as a teacher."

At that time, although Guan Jingxuan was young, he already felt that he was like a different kind in the Guan family. He neither wanted to change himself into the family, nor knew that he could not change other people, so he planned to leave the Guan family when he became an adult. Find a remote and peaceful small village to settle down.He can be regarded as the one among the many juniors of the Guan family who can calm down to study, and he doesn't like to go out with other brothers and sisters to make troubles on weekdays.In terms of knowledge and talent, Guan Jingxuan is definitely not inferior to any of her peers, so it is not difficult to make a living by her own ability in the future.

However, the arrangement of the family disrupted his plan in an instant.

Since childhood, Guan Jingxuan has always been easygoing and resigned. Now that he has been sent to Kunlun to seek Taoism by name, and he can stay away from the Guan family for a while, he easily accepted this arrangement.And the changes in the Guan family came quietly after he joined Kunlun.

"In the third year after entering Kunlun as a teacher, my grandfather suffered a stroke suddenly, and my uncle took over all the family business. During a business tour north, my uncle was assassinated and died in another country. The power is not as powerful as my father's, so the Guan family is actually controlled by my father. Not long after, my uncle's three sons and two daughters died of strange illnesses one after another, and my father soon became the new head of the Guan family. Homeowner."

Guan Jingxuan took a breath, and continued: "Unexpectedly, the Guan family did not calm down after experiencing this great turmoil. Two years later, the Guan family's bad luck really began. First, there was another dependent in Yangzhou City. The aristocratic family of the imperial court eroded the power of the Guan family in Yangzhou little by little, and it took only three years to become a big family that could share the spring with the Guan family. Then, two of my elder brothers and one of my sister's children died one after another. And after that, nothing came out. Father and elder brothers married several other concubines, but they failed to change this situation. For a while, the Guan family, which was originally prosperous, faced the situation of no successors. The offshoots of the family and even some people with other surnames in the family began to move around because of this."

"Thus, the Guan family finally remembered that I was a direct descendant who was sent to Kunlun to seek Taoism, and immediately sent someone to Kunlun to take me back."

However, the Guan family never expected that Guan Jingxuan, who had always been submissive, refused this time when faced with the temptation to go back and be the first successor of the Guan family.At first, Guan Jingxuan's father thought that he was getting angry because he was not taken seriously at home before, but Guan Jingxuan's attitude was not relaxed after three reminders and four invitations. Then he realized that the child seemed to have escaped his control.So the Guan family began to send people to lobby Guan Jingxuan continuously, promising to use the Guan family's family business to suppress the responsibility of the Guan family's descendants.However, Guan Jingxuan was indifferent to all the methods of the Guan family, always acting like an outsider, and finally pushed the old man into a hurry.

Guan Jingxuan seemed to be telling a story about someone else, and wrote lightly: "Father finally made a concession, and people spread the word that if I don't want to go back to inherit the Guan family, I will follow me. I just want to go home for three years and choose with them. The daughter of Qin and Jin became good friends and left behind Guan's blood."

Shen Ziliu raised his eyebrows and said, "Did Master agree?"

Guan Jingxuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Before my teacher had time to refuse, the lobbyist sent by my father was beaten out by Xifeng who had just left the customs and came to find me."

Shen Ziliu said expressionlessly, "Oh, it's him again."

Guan Jingxuan said: "Later, the Guan family finally gave up on me, and the Guan family seemed to be cursed by some kind of curse. After that, no matter whether the main family or the collateral, they all fell into the same predicament of having nothing to do. Another aristocratic family was suppressed and had no power to turn around. After more than 20 years, the gradually declining Guan family gradually declined. In the end, the Guan family, which was once the most popular in Yangzhou, just disappeared.”

Seeing that Guan Jingxuan spoke very calmly, Shen Ziliu couldn't help but ask, "Master, have you ever regretted your original decision?"

With a slight smile on Guan Jingxuan's lips, he said slowly: "Do you know Xiaoliu, my master Danyang Xianzun once said that being a teacher is very suitable for cultivating immortals, because sometimes I am too calm and too cold It’s like the downfall of the Guan family. From the beginning to the end, as a teacher, I have never felt any guilt. If I do it all over again, I will still make the same choice. Even, I don’t think it is a bad thing for such a wealthy and unkind family to disappear. , even as a teacher himself was born in this family."

Shen Ziliu was a little surprised, because the Guan Jingxuan he had seen before was always gentle and patient, and he would silently endure the cynicism and criticism from others and never get angry.It was only at this moment that he realized for the first time that this person who was always gentle and gentle on weekdays was not completely manipulated by others, and he also had a sharp and stubborn side.

Seeing the surprise on Shen Ziliu's face, Guan Jingxuan couldn't help laughing: "Is Xiaoliu surprised that my teacher is such a cold-blooded and heartless person?"

Shen Ziliu immediately said: "No, I don't think Master is cold-blooded, nor do I think there is anything wrong with Master's choice."

Guan Jingxuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "Is that Xiaoliu afraid that one day in the future, as a teacher, he will be so ruthless to you?"

Shen Ziliu's eyebrows twitched when he heard the words, then he looked straight into Guan Jingxuan's eyes, and said seriously: "I know Master won't, and I won't let Master have such a chance."

After Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu looked at each other for a while, they suddenly lowered their eyes and smiled, "I'm just joking as a teacher."

Looking up at the sunset glow that had dyed half of the sky red, Guan Jingxuan stood up from the stone bench and stretched her waist, then casually patted the grass dust on her robe, and returned to her usual gentle and lazy appearance , smiled at Shen Ziliu: "It's getting late today, we can only pick out clothes tomorrow. There is no way to live in this house, so let's go to the city to find an inn to stay in, and I'll show you a taste of it by the way." Taste the unique delicacies of this Jiangnan water town."
