"But you asked me to come here, and you can't give me hope and take away my hope." Ling Yi found his glasses and put them on, and sat across from him smoking cigarette after cigarette.

Seeing his melancholy look, Li Yunfeng was also helpless in his heart, so he had to explain: "I'm also doing this for your good, your cultivation time is too short, your aura is too weak, in case you encounter any unexpected situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it." ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Ling Yi smiled and said, "Besides, why do you have to have a person who knows your roots here, and I am undoubtedly the best candidate." ”

That's right, Li Yunfeng first introduced him to the Taoist Association, and he also had this idea. But since what happened to his father, he dispelled this thought: he had known Ling Yi for so many years, and although he was a little smooth-tongued, his psychological quality and emotions had always been very stable and trustworthy; But since what happened to his father, he found out that he also had times when his emotions were out of control, and it was very extreme after losing control. People who have gone through an extreme of emotions are not suitable for this kind of place where it is possible to challenge people's physical and psychological limits anytime and anywhere.

"Ling Yi, this matter-" Li Yunfeng pondered and spoke, but was immediately interrupted by Ling Yi.

"You can help me this time!" Ling Yi looked at him and said pleadingly, "Now there is only this one belief that supports me from collapsing. I can't go back to City D, I can't face my father's death, and I can't face my mother's hard and soft entanglement. She's driving me crazy! ”

Li Yunfeng saw his red eyes and asked him suspiciously: "She still wants you to go home and take over your father's business?" ”

Ling Yi nodded: "It's more than that. She is still urging me to get married and have children immediately. In my current state, how can I be in the mood to get married and have children? She doesn't care about my feelings at all now, and only thinks that my dad's business will be inherited. My dad's bloodline also has to be inherited, and she doesn't care what I am! ”

"Your father is gone, and it is really not easy for a woman to support such a big company now. You are her dearest person now, I think you should try to understand her and warm her. When you were a child. When you can't be independent, when you're helpless, it's also when they're tolerating you and pampering you. You can grow up to this big and do what you want. And your mother has worked hard for half her life, maybe she doesn't want to be so busy anymore, she has been on her own for so long. Someone also needs to help her share the burden. Li Yunfeng persuaded him bitterly: "I have experienced so much. You should also understand what it means to have a son who wants to raise but does not want to be a parent. She's your only relative, and you can't just give her up. ”

"I know. She is a woman whose family is more important than anything else, and I am a son who demands independence. Even though we are a family, but our concepts are very different, just by one bloodline, I really can't give up so much for her. I even proposed to her to transfer the company, and I kept her, but she didn't agree. So what else can I do? Ling Yi said with a cold face. She has a nurturing grace for me, for this nurturing grace. I've put up with her too much and I don't want to put up with it anymore. ”

Li Yunfeng looked at his stubborn appearance, and his heart gradually cooled: "Flesh and blood, why are you so indifferent?!" Ling Yi, if you don't change your mentality, you will never be able to enter our circle. ”

Ling Yi looked at him suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"Filial piety and faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness and shame. In our culture, filial piety comes first, if you don't even care about your mother's feelings, how can you have the ability to care about the world? Li Yunfeng said unceremoniously: "Think about it again!" ”

"Is the so-called filial piety foolish? Regardless of whether she is right or wrong, she must obey? Ling Yi said unconvinced: "So what are children, just an accessory for parents to fulfill their wishes?" ”

"So what do you think parents are? Just a free babysitter for your children? After raising the children, just so that the children can give them money to support the elderly when they are old? Li Yunfeng's face became serious: "Your mother has the grace of birth and support for you, and parents should give their children, she has never been less than you, and even paid more because she loves you." What she is asking you now is just the most basic emotional need of an ordinary mother. She gave it to you when you needed affection, but what did you give her when she needed something back? She has spent most of her life paying for you, have you ever thought that you want to be self, and you want to do what you want at the expense of their feelings? And what you need to pay for her now is not all yours, why can't you sacrifice even a little bit for her? Even if you can't compromise in your career, what about your life? Finding a daughter-in-law for her, getting married and having children, doesn't it have a big impact on you, right? Why don't you do it? Just because you don't want to, if you only do what you are willing to do in this life, then you can only embarrass your loved ones and make them do what they are not willing to do. It's not something that can be summed up by an ego, it's selfishness.

Ling Yi was silent for a long time, took a hard puff of his cigarette, nodded, and said, "When I was in college, I did psychological and personality tests. I am a rational thinker, weak empathy, and weak empathy, so many times I have no way to empathize with other people's feelings, I can only judge by the rules of this society and my own experience, and make accurate responses that are in line with human feelings. However, I have the advantage of having a high IQ and quick response, so I did not return to the family business after graduating from graduate school, but chose the profession of doctor according to my major, which is more suitable for me than businessman. I want to cultivate with you, also because Taoism pays attention to going with the flow: death and life, life also; Born cannot be stopped, and it cannot be stopped; Heaven and earth can't last long, but what about people? …… The destiny of life cannot be forced, and not forcing and not intervening is the true way. Which is more enlightenable, such a cold way of living like mine or a way of living like you that you can't give up with seven emotions and six desires? ”

Li Yunfeng heard what he said, and smiled slightly: "It's hard for you to put it down." He was indeed cold, but there was some truth in what he said. If you want to cultivate and become an immortal, you have to abandon some human nature, which is difficult for some people, but very simple for others. Who has the most wisdom? Even he himself was confused.

Ling Yi also smiled: "I don't understand, why can't you let it go?" ”

Li Yunfeng sighed and smiled bitterly: "Ling Yi, I always thought that we had been friends for so many years, and I knew you well enough. I now realize that you know me a lot more than I know about you, and that I once had a wrong understanding of you, but you didn't have about me. (To be continued......)
