Chapter 538: Chapter 537 - 256 Luo Changfeng: One Month Term, Learn as Much as You Can Depending on Your Ability_2

“Patriarch Changfeng, it’s been a long time, you still look the same.”

“It seems that aside from looking a bit more lively, there have been no other changes…”

Luo Youwei, that young girl, spoke as she did.

She silently made her way beside Luo Changfeng,

and sat down quietly under the Stone Pavilion as well.

Of course, located in this small courtyard, beside the Stone Pavilion, Miao Qi also caught Luo Youwei’s attention.

However, toward the unfamiliar Miao Qi,

Luo Youwei did not raise her voice to ask.

She merely squinted her eyes slightly, her crescent-like eyes silently gazing at Luo Changfeng.

The smile on her face never changed.

“You little rascal, where have you been all this time?”

“Why haven’t you come back?”

“It really made me worried for quite a while…”

As Luo Changfeng spoke, he gently tapped Luo Youwei’s head with his hand.

Luo Youwei was slightly mischievous, sticking out her tender tongue.

Then, she slowly said, “Ever since the extreme cold within this body of mine was suppressed and began to be usable by me, I thought about going out for a walk, to see the outside world. After all, Elder Changfeng, as you know, from the moment I was born, I have always been protected within the small Luo Family Ancestral Land, my experiences limited to everything Luo Family, never having seen what the outside world is really like.”

As Luo Changfeng listened, he said in a low voice, “Now, you have returned, so does that mean you’ve seen the outside world?”

She squinted her eyes, flashing a charming smile.

She did not say anything, just subtly nodded her head.

Luo Changfeng poured himself a cup of tea, drinking it and asking in a low voice, “How is it? The outside world, how does it feel? Is it like the world you imagined?”

Luo Youwei shook her head, sighed, and spoke in a low voice, “The outside world is somewhat different from what I imagined, cold, cruel, dark, a world where the strong prey on the weak, disgusting…”

Luo Youwei used all the words she could imagine

to continually describe that so-called outside world.

[Flapping…]

Just as Luo Changfeng was about to say something else,

the black-feathered creature, which mostly stood quietly at a higher point within the courtyard,

suddenly began flapping its wings.

And just like that, slowly landed on Luo Changfeng’s shoulder.

“Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting…”

Black-feather opened his mouth wide, continuously repeating the words Luo Youwei had just said.

“A black bird?”

“A crow?”

Luo Youwei, looking at the pitch-black bird that resembled a crow perched on Luo Changfeng’s shoulder,

couldn’t help but whisper.

“You crow, you crow, you crow…”

Black-feather seemed somewhat discontented as it loudly called out to Luo Youwei.

“It’s not a crow.”

“Nor do I know what species it is.”

“Anyway, this creature’s bloodline and natural gifts are no doubt extraordinary.”

“Given time, it could even easily grow to the level of an Immortal Beast.”

Luo Youwei, somewhat surprised, looked at the crow-like bird on Luo Changfeng’s shoulder, and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Is it really that powerful?”

This time, Black-feather no longer paid attention to Luo Youwei.

It flapped its wings, somewhat displeased, and returned to a higher spot within the courtyard.

Standing on one leg, its golden eyes gazing into the distance.

“Do you plan to leave again after this return?”

Luo Changfeng patted the spot on his shoulder where Black-feather had just been perched,

then turned his gaze to Luo Youwei.

Luo Youwei shook her head, lowered her little head, and said softly.

“Perhaps, probably not going out again, I guess?”

“The outside world is indeed vast.”

“Yet, it is not as marvelous as I imagined.”

“All those stories I saw in the storyteller’s books seemed to be fictitious; I did not witness anything similar.”

“What I saw were only scenes filled with coldness and cruelty.”

“Rather than watching those day in and day out,

I would rather just stay at home.”

“Although small, the home has a warmth that the outside world does not offer.”

Hearing such words,

Luo Changfeng silently nodded his head,

The waves of thought Luo Youwei, the young girl, expressed did indeed make some sense.

The outside world, despite its vastness,

is often cold and cruel.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.

These are the operating rules of this world.

Qingshi City, Luo Family, though not large,

possesses a warmth that the outside world doesn’t have.

The harmonious atmosphere within the family is something the members of the Luo Family Clan often find themselves incredibly fond of.

“If that’s the case, then stay at home.”

“By the way, about your father.”@@novelbin@@

“Have you seen him?”

“He must be missing you quite a bit.”

Luo Changfeng said in a low voice.

Luo Youwei replied with a helpless twist of her mouth, speaking softly, “My old man has been living it up these days, seems like he’s found quite a few young ladies. The pleasures of his life are indescribable. Where would he find the time to miss me?”

Luo Changfeng slightly narrowed his eyes, his expression showing a touch of surprise as he asked in a low voice, “Is that really so?”

Luo Youwei nodded affirmatively, whispering, “Perhaps it was as you, Patriarch Changfeng, said before, but ever since my father’s group of advisors started growing and he threw most of the family affairs to that Luo Yao guy, my father’s leisure time has increasingly grown. And once he has more free time…”

At this point, Luo Youwei did not continue.

Even though Luo Youwei didn’t finish her sentence,

Luo Changfeng could still grasp the implication in the young girl’s words.

“All right, let’s not talk about this for now.”

“It’s been a long time since we’ve played a game of Go.”

“How about a few rounds?”

Looking at the Go board on the stone table, with its black and white containers for storing the pieces,

her eyes suddenly shone with anticipation.

Go, she hadn’t played it in quite a while.

She was actually looking forward to it…

“Come on, let’s play a few rounds.”

“But Elder Changfeng, you’ll have to go easy on me.”

“It’s been so long since I last played.”

“I’m a bit rusty.”

Luo Changfeng just smiled and said nothing in response to the young girl’s words.

Rusty?

Hasn’t played for a long time?

Go isn’t something you can win at simply by playing a lot.

This thing, it’s all about talent.

…

As time passed by,

Indeed, not long after that,

Luo Youwei lost the game cleanly and decisively.

“Patriarch Changfeng, you…”

As Luo Youwei looked over the Go board in front of her,

she lifted her gaze toward

the figure in white, with a head of silvery hair,

Although he seemed a bit frail, the aura he exuded was that of an otherworldly sage — Patriarch Changfeng.

She bit down on her teeth and said in a low voice, “Another round…”

Luo Changfeng gave a faint smile, then started clearing the pieces off the table.

Generally, the task of tidying up the pieces

is done by the loser.

But if it’s for that young girl Luo Youwei…

Luo Changfeng didn’t mind helping her tidy up the pieces on the stone table.

…

Time went by.

Approximately half an hour later,

the game concluded once again.

And the loser was still the same youngster, Luo Youwei.

Of course, even with such a swift defeat, Luo Changfeng had already been going easy on her.

Otherwise…

The game would have ended even faster and more disastrously.

“How about it?”

Looking at the young girl Luo Youwei in front of him, Luo Changfeng smiled gently and asked softly.

At this moment, Luo Youwei was frowning slightly, clenching her teeth.

Her reason told her,

Don’t get agitated, don’t get agitated.

But after two devastating losses, she felt like she was about to break down.
