Chapter 1592

Yan Aohan smiled faintly. "Not necessarily. Some people may have karmic merit or power of faith, but without a peaceful heart, they cannot cultivate this way."

"In other words, besides merit and faith, a cultivator needs a calm mind." Zhu Yanyi understood. She also knew why she could cultivate her heart so well. This calmness came from her past life.

Her past life seemed peaceful, but it wasn’t. At least, in Zhu Yanyi’s eyes, the hardships she faced were because she refused to accept her fate. She remembered failing the high school entrance exam. Her father had to pay money to get her into high school. Then, in the college entrance exam, she only got into a third-rate junior college.

Although she was technically a college student, she studied International Finance. She wasn’t interested in finance at all. She just went through the motions in school.

After graduation, she went through a rebellious phase. She ran away from home, ignoring her parents’ feelings. She wanted to escape. But after leaving, she realized that while her parents scolded her at home, outside, if people scolded you, it meant they respected you.

She drifted aimlessly for two years. Finally, she returned home. Her parents didn’t blame her. They used their connections to get her a job at a private company. Her salary was only six hundred a month.

She settled down. Slowly, she went from an ordinary quality inspector to the head of the Quality Inspection Department. Then she became the Director of the General Manager’s practice chamber and Supervisor of Company Quality Inspection. This process took only five years. Five years later, she gave up her career for marriage. But the marriage lasted only ten months.

She had no desire to work in a factory again. So she started writing. From a stumbling start, she became the first five-star author on a certain website. Then she aimed for publication. After succeeding, she aimed for film and spirit projection. In her forty-plus years, she tasted countless failures. She learned lessons from them. She faced the world with a peaceful heart.

She succeeded. But her body paid the price. Her day-and-night writing life eventually took her life. Gain comes with loss. She understood this in her past life. So she made a will early on, not wanting her peace disturbed at the end.

Now, life started over. But her peaceful heart never broke. She treated everything with calmness.

Even when Elder Yao disappeared and Elder Chun was injured, she was sad at first. But finally, she treated it calmly. Because she was calm, reason outweighed emotion. So many truths slowly revealed themselves.

"Originally, my peaceful heart helped me." Zhu Yanyi smiled.

Gu Jun beside her was puzzled. "You are so young. How can you see through the world? How can you treat everything with a peaceful heart?"

"Maybe my IQ is higher than yours." Zhu Yanyi joked. She couldn’t tell anyone she was reborn.

Yan Aohan smiled at Zhu Yanyi. "Keeping a peaceful heart is only good for you."

"Yes." Zhu Yanyi nodded. She naturally knew the importance of a peaceful heart to herself.

"Little Divine Doctor has such good character. You are actually suitable for Buddhist cultivation," Wu Wen said from the side.

Zhu Yanyi grinned. "Senior Brother Wu Wen, I can’t be a Buddhist cultivator. I have a peaceful heart, but I can’t escape the seven emotions and six desires. I cultivate the Path of Affection. My heart is full of love. Love for my partner, affection for my family, care for my patients. I have so much affection. I can’t step outside the Five Elements. I can’t be a Buddhist cultivator."

"Amitabha. Little Divine Doctor, I was presumptuous," Wu Wen said quickly. She originally thought Zhu Yanyi’s peaceful heart was rare. But she forgot she experienced the Path of Affection in the mortal world. So she apologized quickly.

"It’s fine." Zhu Yanyi grinned at Yan Aohan. "One day, if our Aohan makes me sad and breaks my heart, maybe I’ll go become a Buddhist cultivator."

"Don’t even think about it." Yan Aohan glared at Zhu Yanyi. "Don’t say that. Don’t think that. You and I can never be separated. I will never make you sad or break your heart." The Purple Gold Red Rope had already destined their fate. How could he let go?

Zhu Yanyi was just joking. Seeing Yan Aohan unhappy, she made a funny face. "Okay, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that."

"Not only shouldn’t you say it, but you shouldn’t think it either." A trace of tenderness appeared on Yan Aohan’s face. "You and I are destined to be together for a long time. You can’t distrust me." His tone had a hint of coquettishness.

"I know, I know. I was wrong. I shouldn’t distrust you." Zhu Yanyi apologized quickly. If she didn’t apologize, she didn’t know what Yan Aohan would do next.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi apologize sincerely, Yan Aohan didn’t dwell on the issue.

"Your couple’s love is really as good as always." Gu Jun sighed from the side. "It makes me want to find someone to marry."

"Go ahead." Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "I don’t believe there isn’t someone suitable for you in the academy."

"There really is." Mi Xiao grinned. "Third Senior Sister is very suitable for him. But Fourth Brother and Third Sister always clash."

"Little Nine, don’t talk nonsense. Be careful Second Brother hears you and talks to you." Lei Danfeng spoke this time. But it was clear he was genuinely caring for Mi Xiao.

"It seems there are many stories here. Tell me some day. I like listening to stories lately." Zhu Yanyi grinned.

"No problem. I’ll tell you secretly when I have time." Mi Xiao grinned.

Zhu Yanyi nodded happily.

"It’s really lively here. It seems I arrived a bit late." The Silver Fox didn’t know when he arrived, but he was there.

Yan Aohan didn’t seem surprised by the Silver Fox’s arrival. "I thought you wouldn’t come."

"How could I not come? I said I would come." Then he looked at the people from the five sects.

"Saint Academy, Zihua Sect, Taiji Gate, Shaolin Temple, Emei Sect. I didn’t expect one legendary sect and four heritage sects to come. It’s rare."

Legendary sects were unknown to most people. Like the Saint Academy, how people there lived for hundreds of years was a secret to the mortal world. Also, it was said that because they were legendary sects, they could connect with other worlds. Whether this was true was unknown. But legendary sects always existed.
