Insufficient balance

  Two people arrived at the gate of the Zhao residence, seeing a commotion, it seemed that someone had already come to report the good news. They made their way through the crowd into the compound and saw Qin Bo, who looked flustered. When he saw Wen Hao return, he hastily walked up and said: "Young Master, you've finally returned! Eldest Miss is looking for you everywhere. Quickly follow me to the main hall."

  Arriving at the hall, he saw his sister turning around in circles. Qin Bo said to his sister, "Sister, Young Master is back." Wen Hao also asked suspiciously, "Sister, what do you want from me?"

  The elder sister saw Wen Hao return and calmed down, saying: "Younger brother, now that you have achieved fame and fortune, quickly follow me to pay respects to our ancestors."

  Musheng saw that the family was going to worship their ancestors, so he quietly slipped back into his own room. He thought it would be better to meditate and practice his skills rather than doing nothing. Although he had already opened up the Ren and Du meridians, this was still not enough. One must know that "beyond the mountain there is another mountain, beyond man there is another man." Musheng did not dare to be arrogant.

  At dinner time, Qin Bo said: "Wen Hao, you got it this time, thank you very much to Mu Da Ge, what are you still stunned about?"

  Wen Hao hastily raised his wine glass and said, "Mu Ge, I am unable to express my gratitude in words at this moment. All my heartfelt thanks are contained within this cup of wine, let me use this cup of wine to express my gratitude." Mu Sheng calmly replied, "Wen Hao, you don't have to be so polite. In fact, the main credit goes to your own efforts. I merely provided you with a method." Qin Bo then said, "Mu Sheng, don't belittle yourself unnecessarily."

  "Mei, I don't know how to thank you. If there's anything you want, I'll definitely grant it."

  Musheng saw the young lady speak like this, and then said: "If I really have to say something I want, I hope the young lady can buy me a house in Hunyuan City, that would be great."

  The young lady heard Mu Sheng say this, her body shook, and said: "Do you want to leave the Zhao Manor?" As she spoke, her eyes were somewhat sorrowful.

  "Missy misunderstood, I won't leave the Zhao Manor, where can I go if I leave the Zhao Manor?"

  However, the young lady seemed to have not heard Mu Sheng's explanation and said sorrowfully: "Didn't I tell you to call me Xin Ya? Why are you still like this, waaahhh..." After finishing, the young lady cried, and she cried very sadly. This made Mu Sheng panic, he didn't expect the young lady to cry, as he couldn't bear seeing girls cry, so he stuttered: "L-large sister, oh no, Xin Ya, I didn't mean to."

  After finishing speaking, Mu Sheng stood there stupidly, now at a loss for what to do. The eldest miss gazed at Mu Sheng with tears streaming down her face from the corners of her eyes.

  Qin Bo Rao looked at the two with interest, while Wen Hao stared at his older sister with wide eyes. Is this still the usual calm and collected older sister? He couldn't quite believe what was happening in front of him.

  Musheng saw that Xiaojie's tears were still flowing, so he raised his right hand and gently wiped away Xiaojie's tears. It was the first time he had touched a girl's face, and Musheng felt a bit nervous, his hand trembling slightly. Nevertheless, he maintained a calm demeanor and stuttered: "Xin, Xiaya, I...I..."

  The young lady suddenly covered Muzi's mouth with her hand and said, "Don't say anything else, I just hope you don't leave the Zhao residence." After finishing speaking, she ran back to her own room.

  At this time, Wen Hao walked up and asked: "Brother Mu, what's wrong with my sister? She's grown so big, I've never seen her like this tonight." Mu Sheng also shook his head and said: "I don't know either, Qin Bo. I'll go back to my room first."

  Qin Baizhen laughed and said: "Well, you go back first!" Wen Hao, you also go back to your room to rest!

  Back in the room, Mu Sheng still didn't understand why the eldest sister was crying. Since he couldn't figure it out, he just stopped thinking about it. People often say: "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea." This is not false, Mu Sheng had a deep understanding of this.

  Let's just cultivate then! Mu Sheng sighed and went to bed to meditate.

  The next morning, Wen Hao rushed over and said to Mu Sheng: "Mu brother, I want to ask you a question, will you answer me honestly?"

  "Go ahead and ask! I won't hide anything from you as long as I know it," said Musheng while washing his face. Wen Hao asked in a low voice, "Musheng brother, have you ever pursued a girl before?" Musheng didn't expect Wen Hao to ask this question, what was he thinking today? He glared at Wen Hao and said, "No, why are you asking this? You wouldn't happen to have a crush on someone, would you?" After that, he stared intently at Wen Hao.

  Wen Hao saw that his thoughts had been guessed, so he could only say: "Mu Big Brother, to be honest, I really have a girl I like, and I want you to help me come up with a plan on how to win her over."

  It seems that I have guessed correctly, but when it comes to chasing girls, I don't have any experience myself. In high school, apart from studying and working part-time, I didn't have the energy to think about this, so I could only helplessly say: "This, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with. I don't have any experience in this area."

  Wen Hao's face fell, and he said: "Brother Mu, then let's go eat first!"

  Breakfast, the young lady kept her head down while eating. Mu Sheng saw that the young lady was like this and knew what to say, so the atmosphere of the whole breakfast was relatively gloomy.

  After dinner, Mu Sheng was about to return to his room when Wen Hao came running from behind and said: "Big Brother Mu, can you accompany me out?"

  Mo Sheng looked at Wen Hao, thinking to himself that this guy wouldn't ask him to accompany him in chasing after girls, would he? His gaze became even sharper, making Wen Hao feel guilty under his stare. Before Mo Sheng could say anything, Wen Hao confessed: "Big Brother Mo, I know you can see right through me, but I really have no choice! When I see her, I become tongue-tied and can't say a word. If I go alone, things will only get worse. Big Brother Mo, please do me a favor and accompany me this one time, that way I'll also gain some courage." He finished speaking with a pitiful expression, looking at Mo Sheng with pleading eyes.

  Mo Sheng saw Wen Hao's pitiful appearance and could only say, "Alright! However, when the time comes, I'll just be standing on the side, don't expect me to say anything."

  Wen Hao nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Alright, as long as Brother Mu is by my side, that's all that matters."

  The two left the Zhao residence and headed towards the Yafeng Academy. When they arrived at the entrance of the Yafeng Academy, Mochen thought to himself, "This kid's crush can't be a teacher at the academy, can it? He's really ahead of his time!"

  Entering through the main gate of the academy, they didn't meet many people inside. It's currently a holiday period, and most students are at home, with only a few from far away staying in the academy. Following Wen Hao, Mu Sheng headed towards the southeast direction of the academy, and the two arrived at the small lake where Mu Sheng had come before. Seeing that there was no one in the distant pavilion, Wen Hao continued walking along the lakeside, and soon they came to a small courtyard gate. Wen Hao stopped in front of the gate, hesitating.

  Mo Sheng saw the young man stopping in front of the door and said, "Wen Hao, why aren't you going in? Standing in front of the door won't do!" Wen Hao said, "Big Brother Mo, I'm a bit nervous."

  Mo Sheng saw Wen Hao like this, and had no choice but to say: "Then let's go back, I think you won't be willing either." Wen Hao also knew that now was the time when the arrow was on the string and couldn't help but shoot, so he plucked up his courage and knocked on the door with his hand. Only to hear a gentle voice coming from inside saying: "Please come in"

  Pushing open the door, I saw that the courtyard was filled with flowers. Under a purple wisteria tree in the courtyard, beside a stone table, sat a woman dressed in white. This woman was precisely the one whom Shuoye had seen at the pavilion last time.

  Mo Sheng was slightly surprised, wasn't this the same person he saw at the pavilion last time? He didn't expect that Wen Hao's crush would be her. However, this woman was indeed not bad, she was not only beautiful but also gentle and soft-hearted. It had to be said that Wen Hao still had some taste. But women like her were usually quite proud and arrogant, it wouldn't be easy for Wen Hao to win her over. Mo Sheng couldn't help but worry about Wen Hao.

  The woman saw Wen Hao coming and smiled gently: "Wen Hao, congratulations on your high school graduation. How's your sister doing lately?"

  "Wen Hao saw Qi Ying and said with some trepidation: 'Replying to Teacher Xu, sister has been fine recently.'"

  "Wen Hao, why are you being so stubborn? Your sister and I are good friends, just call me Qiong Yi after class."

  Wen Hao did not respond, he didn't know how to answer. Mu Sheng stood behind Wen Hao, this time he came as an observer, so Mu Sheng would not speak easily.

  The host saw Wen Hao standing silently and also noticed Mu Sheng behind him, so he said: "Wen Hao, why don't you introduce me to this young man behind you?"

  Wen Hao stared blankly at Mu Sheng behind him and said: "Big Brother Mu, this is Teacher Xu who taught me music."

  "Mu Sheng stepped forward and bowed, saying: 'I am Mu Sheng, nice to meet Miss Xu.' Qiong Ying smiled and said: 'Mr. Mu is too polite, I think we've met before!'"

  "Yes, thank you again for last time, Miss Hsu."

  "Marquis, you're too polite. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning, let alone it's because of Wen Hao." Then he turned to Wen Hao and said: "Wen Hao, what brings you here? I remember you rarely come to my place."

  Wen Hao saw Cui Jing and asked himself, stuttering: "I came to tell you that I, I..."

  Ying had some doubts, since Wen Hao came in, she saw that Wen Hao's expression was uncertain, so she said: "Wen Hao, if you have something on your mind, just say it straight out, I'll help you if I can."

  "Actually I, I..."

  Mo Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he said: "I'll say it for him! He wants to say that he likes you." Upon hearing Mo Sheng say what he wanted to say, Wen Hao lowered his head very low.
