Chapter 480: The Man I Settle For (9)_1
"Don’t you find it strange? Or should I say, aren’t you curious?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow as she looked at Dao Xuzi.
"I, an old man, have lived through a lot, what haven’t I seen?" Dao Xuzi widened his eyes, "What’s there to be curious about? Your grandmaster once said that every person has their own fate, and everyone has a side of them unknown to others. Medical skills require expertise and understanding, but that’s not necessary for being a person. Being a person requires the rare ability to be confused, do you understand?"
Yang Ruxin’s eyes sparkled slightly—worthy of the grandmaster, indeed a great wisdom.
"Girl, let your master warn you once more," Dao Xuzi pulled out the Golden Needle from Gu Qingheng’s Shenque Acupoint, wiped off the black blood with a cloth, and then heated it over the candle before storing it. However, he didn’t touch the other needles, "Your character is sometimes too straightforward, not tolerating any sand in your eyes and seeing things in black and white. While that is indeed good, being too rigid can make you easy to break."
Yang Ruxin furrowed her brow, but she didn’t retort.
"Girl, you’re very clever and clear-headed, but sometimes, when dealing with people around you, you can’t always impose your own ideas on them; after all, everyone is different..." Dao Xuzi smiled, then closed his mouth.
"I understand," Yang Ruxin said with a hint of dejection. She knew her master was looking out for her best interests. Her straightforward nature was indeed too direct, and although she didn’t find fault with it, the old man meant well, and she was grateful, "I will pay attention to it in the future."
