The members of the Tiger Gate Gang saw that the young man had already received compensation, and the middle-aged woman before them had unique methods and formidable combat power, making her an unbeatable thug. Thus, they lowered their flags and lost their fighting spirit.
At this moment, the Sea Eagle Gang was outnumbered and dared not continue the fight.
As a result, everyone began to disperse. Only Ouyang Shaohua and Ouyang Feixue remained at the scene.
Ouyang Feixue immediately asked, "Sister, are you also from the Ouyang Family? How come I've never seen you before? My name is Ouyang Feixue. May I ask your name?"
Ouyang Shaohua replied, "My name is Ouyang Shaohua. I come from another place and have come here to search for my ancestor. My ancestor's name is Yue."
Ouyang Yue!!??
"Sister, we are of the same clan. My great-grandfather's grandfather is the biological brother of Ancestor Yue." Ouyang Feixue's laughter rang out like silver bells, and her gaze towards Ouyang Shaohua became even more fervent.
This sister possesses remarkable skills; if only I could be like her.
Meanwhile, her little husband chimed in, "We should hurry home so that Sister can recognize her ancestors sooner."
Thus, the three of them hurried back to the Ouyang Ancestral Land.
Wuma Xiangwei also arrived at the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. The princess was filled with curiosity about the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. In her mind, she envisioned countless images of it; she believed that the Dragon Python Celestial Domain must be more prosperous and beautiful than the Yongning Continent.
Although the Western Celestial Law Ancestor had provided them with necessary training, Wuma Xiangwei remained skeptical about everything said by the Western Celestial Law Ancestor and Ruyi Girl.
The Dragon Python Celestial Domain could not possibly be as dire as they described!
Now Wuma Xiangwei stood on the land of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain!
At this moment, Wuma Xiangwei had undergone makeup by Ruyi Girl, transforming into a scholarly young man, a very refined scholar. Dressed in a blue Long Robe, with a tall and slender figure and delicate features, he perfectly embodied the attire of a distinguished gentleman, though his slightly pronounced eyebrows somewhat disrupted the gentle aura of the scholar, adding a hint of masculinity to Wuma Xiangwei's appearance.
Wuma Xiangwei got up from the heavy fall and carefully brushed off the dust from his clothes, ensuring they were spotless. Then he looked around and realized he was quite lucky; it seemed he was now in the center of a city, right on the busiest street.
Two curious children were watching Wuma Xiangwei, this unexpected visitor who had fallen from the sky.
Wuma Xiangwei paid no mind to the children's strange gazes and strolled towards the crowded area. He was well aware that he needed to find a place to settle down quickly before addressing other matters.
Wuma Xiangwei silently asked himself: What am I most familiar with? The palace, the government offices, or the officials! Their money is the easiest to obtain.
Thus, his first step was to understand the current government office in this city.
He wanted to go to an inn to gather information but had no money at all. He had heard that Dragon Python Celestial Domain usually used Golden Red Sand. Western Celestial Law Ancestor and Ruyi Girl had given their disciples quite a bit of Golden Red Sand; Ouyang Shaohua, Huangfu Jiayin, Sima Xiaosa, and Futian Shangren all received plenty. However, Wuma Xiangwei did not receive any, not even Guan Yue had any; perhaps Guan Yue still did not know that Dragon Python Celestial Domain used Golden Red Sand instead of Vermilion Jade?
But how could these minor issues possibly trouble me, a princess of Vast Empire? Ridiculous!
Wuma Xiangwei casually walked into a restaurant and shouted loudly, "Shopkeeper, come here! This young master has something to say."
The innkeeper was curious as to why such a seemingly frail scholar would shout so loudly and asked, "What is it that has you so agitated, young master?"
"Not at all. I have nothing to do today and wish to borrow your establishment for a while to help people resolve their difficulties; consider it my way of providing service for your restaurant."
With a sincere expression on his face, Wuma Xiangwei's earnestness made it difficult for the innkeeper to refuse. He casually pointed to a table near the door and said, "In that case, you may showcase your talents there for everyone to appreciate."
Under the gaze of all the diners in the hall, Wuma Xiangwei was unashamed. He took out a piece of paper and wrote five large characters: One Finger Knows the World. He placed this paper at the edge of the table so that those five characters stood out prominently.
"One Finger Knows the World? What grandiose claims! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?" mocked one diner who was eating.
Wuma Xiangwei immediately stood up and walked over to him, saying respectfully, "Could it be that this gentleman has some unspeakable ailment that he cannot discuss? Should I assist in treating it? You haven't been able to engage in personal matters for quite some time, have you?"
Wuma Xiangwei's cautious whisper made the diner blush and stutter, causing him to dare not say another word. He hurriedly took a couple of bites of rice and then left.
This incident made the other diners realize Wuma Xiangwei's extraordinary nature, and they no longer dared to mock her.
The innkeeper also recognized that Wuma Xiangwei was not an ordinary person, so he offered fine wine and dishes, allowing Wuma Xiangwei to savor them slowly. At that moment, a woman walked in from outside the restaurant, dressed elegantly with jewels adorning her, exuding a noble aura. Her expression was serious, and her gaze was focused solely on Wuma Xiangwei.
She walked directly towards Wuma Xiangwei, her eyes revealing a hint of joy.
At this time, Wuma Xiangwei was happily enjoying the free lunch when she noticed that the woman did not seem friendly. She put down her utensils and approached the Fortunate Lady.
The wealthy woman said to Wuma Xiangwei, "Young Master, can you truly One Finger Knows the World?"
Wuma Xiangwei replied calmly, "If you have doubts, feel free to test it. However, for you, my lady, this will not come cheap."
"If it fulfills my wishes, the cost is up to you," the Fortunate Lady casually replied.
"Very well, please share your thoughts," Wuma Xiangwei invited her to sit down. After she took a seat, Wuma Xiangwei returned to her own place and paid close attention to the lady's every move.
"I am a woman who knows how to enjoy life; I have always been perceptive and free from worries. But now I am confused. What is the true meaning of my life? I do not know why I live or when I will die. After death, what will I become? Just now, while I was lost in thought, a voice told me that you could provide me with answers, so here I am." The wealthy woman spoke without pleasantries or unnecessary words.
"Oh, it seems there are discerning individuals among these diners; I thank them in advance," Wuma Xiangwei said as she stood up to acknowledge the other diners before sitting back down and asking the lady, "Do you seek enlightenment or request a method?"
"What do you mean by enlightenment and what do you mean by requesting a method?" The lady was clearly confused by Wuma Xiangwei's words.
"Enlightenment is illusionary; requesting a method is reality."
The lady thought for a moment and said, "I need clarification, and I also need guidance."
"Very well, then let me start from the beginning." Wuma Xiangwei took another bite of rice, wiped his mouth, casually tossed the napkin aside like a boy, and then spoke to the lady: "A person's life can be divided into several stages: Formative Period, Perfection Period, Reflection Period, Backlash Period, and Twilight Years. This is particularly evident in women. The period before sixteen is called the Formative Period; from seventeen to thirty-five is the Perfection Period; from thirty to forty is the Reflection Period; and from thirty to forty-five is the Backlash Period. Of course, the ages vary depending on individual circumstances, and for Disciples, due to extended age, the years may also change. However, everyone will inevitably go through these stages.
The Formative Period refers to the time when one’s body exhibits male and female characteristics and possesses both genders' capabilities. The Perfection Period signifies the psychological completion of oneself. The Reflection Period involves re-establishing one's self-worth. You are currently in this period.
In fact, throughout a person's life, deep down in their heart, there is always a hope of becoming a certain kind of person. Although one may not think about it deeply or express it openly—even not telling others—there will always be expectations for oneself.
This is self-positioning!
However, after experiencing a certain phase in life, many people cannot help but look back at the path they have taken. If they find that the road they have traveled diverges too far from their self-positioning, they may experience psychological confusion, feel lost, disappointed, or suffer.
Take you as an example: a My Lady who has lived a carefree life for over a decade suddenly realizes upon looking back that this is not the life she wanted and that it does not align with her self-positioning.
At this moment, you become suddenly aware. How did I end up here in such a daze? How could this happen to me?
Where do I go from here?
It feels as if you have reached a crossroads in life.
But it is not like that; you have merely reflected at this moment, recognized things, and thought about them.
The reason we make mistakes is that we fail to engage in self-reflection regularly. Just like driving a carriage, if we adjust our direction at any time, we will not stray onto the wrong path.
Of course, our deep-seated self-positioning may not always be appropriate; therefore, it is best not to be too hard on ourselves. Some things cannot be resolved by mere thought; we must rely on our daily practice.
By adjusting our goals ourselves, we may find ourselves closer to our true aspirations."
Wuma Xiangwei spoke at length, then looked at the lady, hoping she would understand the reasoning behind it.
The wealthy My Lady pondered for a moment when suddenly someone among the diners shouted, "That makes sense! We should always adjust our direction to avoid regrets!"
A few other diners nodded in agreement after reflecting on Wuma Xiangwei's words, seeming to gain some insight.
After a long while, My Lady asked again, "What about the law?"
Wuma Xiangwei smiled and said, "Keep yourself busy, and you won't have time to overthink. It seems you haven't given birth yet, but you can start now. After having a child, you must take care of them yourself and always be concerned; this is the first point.
Second, from now on, you must set a goal. This goal can relate to your personal positioning or your future needs, but you must force yourself to make progress every day. Even if it's just a little bit each day, you'll feel a sense of achievement.
Third, you need someone to confide in. It doesn't matter who they are as long as they are willing to listen. Emotions should be expressed rather than suppressed.
Fourth, you should allow yourself to relax more in family life and foster a harmonious relationship with your husband; this is very important.
Fifth, do not trust in the future; focus on today and what is in front of you. Seize the present, and that will be everything for you!
------
My lady, you must understand that idleness breeds trouble. For ourselves, it is the same. Keep yourself engaged and fill your life with purpose, and then you will have no worries."
