Chapter 8: Defeating the Nascent Soul Stage Childhood Playmate

Time flew by,

He Pingsheng had been recuperating at the Ye family for nearly half a year straight.

Actually, given his condition, he should have healed long ago,

but the delay was entirely due to his stubborn and obstinate nature.

He Pingsheng never gave up teaching Ye Xiuxiu and Ye Ruyan the Confucian classics,

as if he had to compete with these two little girls to prove superiority.

However, every time he gave Ye Xiuxiu a lesson,

she always managed to interpret the sages' words in those Confucian classics in bizarre and unrecognizable ways,

This made He Pingsheng's qi and blood surge, his Dao heart near collapse.

Thus, he persisted day after day until a week ago,

He Pingsheng finally faced reality and reluctantly chose to give up.

From then on, he began to devote himself wholeheartedly to his own recovery.

Seeing how difficult Ye Xiuxiu was to teach,

even the usually composed Bai Qingxia couldn't help but worry:

"Whenever I give Xiuxiu a lesson, it shatters He Pingsheng's Dao heart with anger; if this continues, what should we do?"

After all, even the sages' words in the Confucian classics can be twisted by her to this extent,

I truly don't know what this child will become in the future.

By contrast, Ye Ruyan's performance could be called excellent.

She not only memorized the sages' words in the Confucian classics to perfection,

but also understood them deeply, often able to extrapolate from one example to many.

Faced with this situation,

Ye Qingping, after much deliberation, finally came up with a countermeasure:

"If that's the case, why not let them start practicing Confucian cultivation methods as soon as possible? Through daily recitation of the method,"

"let the principles it contains slowly seep into their hearts, thereby exerting a subtle, gradual influence."

Hearing this proposal, Bai Qingxia hesitated slightly and asked with concern:

"But wouldn't doing this have some negative impact on Xiuxiu's future development?"

The first type of cultivation method one encounters,

often remains closely tied to one's entire life!

Practicing different cultivation methods can have a huge impact on one's body,

and once one becomes accustomed and masters a particular type of method,

when later practicing other methods of the same type, one often gets twice the result with half the effort,

because the body has gradually become familiar and adapted to the flow and usage patterns of that energy.

"Now Xiuxiu can even misread the Confucian classics; if we let her directly engage with Confucian cultivation methods, wouldn't that ruin her future?"

In response, Ye Qingping slowly shook his head and offered another viewpoint:

"If she really misunderstands them, it actually shows these Confucian cultivation methods won't cause her major harm;"

"on the contrary, if we can properly teach her and correct her mistaken cognition,"

"then perhaps it means Xiuxiu has the talent for cultivating the Confucian Way, and walking that path in the future is not entirely impossible."

Hearing these words, Bai Qingxia pondered for a moment and then nodded,

signaling agreement: "Hmm, that's not a bad feasible plan. In that case, let's do it."

Thus, the next day,

He Pingsheng carefully selected the simplest and most easy-to-understand Confucian cultivation method and imparted it to Ye Xiuxiu.

Although this method appears ordinary and unremarkable,

but if practiced correctly,

it can still exert a certain amount of attack power.

However, this point was directly overlooked.

Ye Xiuxiu has never gone through the body-refining stage,

nor has she ever entered the Qi Refining Stage,

there is not a trace of spiritual energy in her body,

making it utterly impossible for her to emit any attack.

Ye Xiuxiu studied the Confucian-Daoist cultivation method day and night.

The more she read, the more enthusiastic she became,

because she felt as if she could draw strength from it.

【Your childhood friend Chen Gong Dong heard you had returned, came to see you, and defeated your childhood friend at the Initial Stage to prove your strength.】
