PFC Chapter 101: Are you just giving up like that?
Chapter 101: Are you just giving up like that?
"Spiritual roots are the foundation of cultivation. He was born without spiritual roots, so even the Daluo Immortal can't help him."
After hearing what Qin Yao said, Li Hu didn't say anything else and just turned off his phone silently.
At the same time, Zhan Tingxiu walked out of the bathroom with an expressionless face. Seeing Master Zhan Qi drinking tea on the sofa, he sat down calmly opposite him.
Master Zhan Qi frowned and looked at the listless Zhan Tingxiu.
"You're really shocked by this?"
Zhan Tingxiu said sadly: "Grandpa Qi, my wife is gone, I can't be happy."
"You just give up?"
Master Zhan Qi frowned and looked at the young man in front of him.
He had never let himself down since he was a child. He thought that the responsibility of the family would fall on his shoulders, but he did not expect that God played a joke on their Zhan family.
"She and I are destined to be from different worlds. Forcing us to be together will only cause her more harm. Grandpa Qi, I know you have taken care of me since I was a child. I am the one who let you down."
"What disappoints me about you is not your inability to practice, but your attitude towards life."
Master Zhan Qi sighed.
"I know that not being able to practice is a big blow to you, but what's the point for us old men to practice even if we can? Unless we can break through the foundation-building stage, we can only live to be 150 years old at most. However, according to the history of the Zhan family, only one person broke through to the foundation-building stage in thousands of years, and that person was unable to break through to the golden elixir stage and died at the age of 300."
"Three hundred years old is much better than an ordinary person like me..."
Zhan Tingxiu sighed.
Looking at the lost Zhan Tingxiu, Master Zhan Qi sighed.
"Are you really willing to give up that girl?"
"Giving up is good for both her and me."
Zhan Tingxiu said this calmly, but there was unspeakable pain in his eyes.
Patting Zhan Tingxiu's shoulder gently, Master Zhan Qi looked at him with complicated eyes.
"Ting Xiu, you are a good child. That girl is already at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage at such a young age. Such cultivation aptitude is top-notch in any family. We must accept her into the Zhan family..."
Zhan Tingxiu was so smart that he understood the meaning of Master Zhan Qi's words before he even finished speaking.
"Seventh Grandfather, I can't practice. The family wants to give up on me. I don't blame anyone, but Yaoyao has nothing to do with the Zhan family. You can't..."
Looking at the excited Zhan Tingxiu, Master Zhan Qi nodded at him unhappily.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard? When has our Zhan family ever done such a thing as forced buying and selling? You are not destined to be with that lady, so let's give other people in our family a try. Maybe there will be someone who can make her heart beat?"
"I……"
Zhan Tingxiu really wanted to say that she was his girlfriend, but he also knew that since he could not practice cultivation, he was destined not to be with Qin Yao, and saying that she was his girlfriend was just deceiving himself.
If she could really join the Zhan family...
Such a situation makes me extremely heartbroken just thinking about it, but I also know that I have no power to stop it.
If he had known that Qin Yao could get rid of the Lu family by herself, and that asking the family elders for help not only did not help her, but instead completely severed the relationship between the two, he would never have let Seventh Grandpa come. But it was too late to regret now.
However, this incident also made him fully realize the gap between himself and Qin Yao, and he should give up completely.
After closing his eyes, Zhan Tingxiu slowly stood up and walked upstairs in a trance.
Zhan Tingxiu is the younger generation that Master Zhan Qi has watched grow up. If possible, he really wants to support him to become the next generation head of the Zhan family. Unfortunately...
"Ting Xiu, Grandpa Qi did all this for the family. I hope you can forgive me."
After saying that, Master Zhan Qi took out his cell phone and started calling his family members.
At the same time, Zhan Tingxiu returned to his bedroom on the third floor. Instead of washing up, he sat down on the bed, holding his mobile phone in his hand, staring at Qin Yao's familiar phone number in a daze.
Before tonight, he had dreamed of having her remove his phone number from the blacklist. Now that he had gotten his wish, he was not happy at all.
"Yaoyao, without me disturbing your life, you will definitely be very happy, right?"
Naturally, the phone would not answer him. With a bitter smile, Zhan Tingxiu walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine. However, before he could open the bottle, the phone rang.
Zhan Tingxiu knew that he was destined to be mediocre in his life and didn't care about anyone, but the person on the other end of the phone kept calling him relentlessly.
"Who?"
Without even looking at who was calling, Zhan Tingxiu said directly the moment the call was connected: "You'd better tell me something important, otherwise..."
"What else are you going to do?"
Qin Yao asked on the other end of the phone.
"Yao...Yaoyao..."
I thought that they would never have any contact after they parted that evening. Hearing Qin Yao's voice coming from the other end of the phone, Zhan Tingxiu pinched himself in disbelief. After making sure that he was not dreaming, the decadence just now flashed away.
"Yaoyao, why did you call me? Is there something wrong?"
"How do you feel now?"
"Now?"
Zhan Tingxiu was stunned for a moment, then thought of the medicine he gave him before he left, and immediately said, "I stayed in the bathroom for more than half an hour, and now I feel great."
As he spoke, Zhan Tingxiu stretched his body and really felt that his body was much more relaxed now than before he took the medicine.
"That's good."
After making sure that Zhan Tingxiu had eliminated all the toxins from his body, Qin Yao was about to hang up the phone. Zhan Tingxiu couldn't wait to say, "Yaoyao, if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends, right?"
As long as Zhan Tingxiu doesn't insist on being with her, Qin Yao will naturally not refuse multiple friends.
"Of course we are friends."
Although this result was far from what he wanted, Zhan Tingxiu was still very happy.
"Yaoyao, now that you have completed all your filming tasks, you can't stay at home studying all the time. Can we go out and play together when we have time?"
Even if she didn't have to study, she would still be busy practicing every day. Qin Yao instinctively wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, Zhan Tingxiu's lost look suddenly appeared in her mind. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out and play together when we have time."
Zhan Tingxiu said happily: "Okay, no matter where we go or when, as long as you decide, I will cooperate with you."
"I'm on vacation now, don't you have to go to work?" Qin Yao reminded with a smile.
Speaking of work, Zhan Tingxiu hesitated for a moment, but he quickly said, "You also said that I can't practice. I only have a few decades to live, and now half of it has passed. I have more money than I can spend. I must enjoy the rest of my time and do things that I want to do but have never done before, so as not to waste the rest of my time."
"You're right. We should enjoy life while we are young."
After saying that, Qin Yao thought about the purpose of his call and asked directly: "Are you free tomorrow?"
