Chapter 801: Chapter 272: Here it Comes! [2-in-1] _3 Chapter 801: Chapter 272: Here it Comes! [2-in-1] _3 “But as soon as he goes out, he relapses into his old ways. Every time he returns, he adds a few more sins to his tally on the pursuit list, his ranking ever climbing…”

“I have even thought of taking matters into my own hands, to end the cycle of sin. Yet when the moment comes, a father’s love overflows, and ultimately, I find myself unable to deliver the fatal blow…”

“My wife passed away early, and I alone raised these three miscreants. Throughout my life, I dared not take a wrong step, always cautious and careful. Whenever I saw injustice, I would rush in without regard for my own life… all in the hopes of offsetting the sins my sons committed!”

“Yet even with my desperate attempts at redemption, I can’t seem to gain an ounce of their understanding.”

“What exactly does it take to be a qualified father, to be a good and adequate father who raises his children well?”

Ximen Qianqiu shook his head in pain, “I can’t learn it! Nor do I know how to begin! Those children in the martial world who are upright and just, I envy them greatly. Countless times, I’ve secretly infiltrated other families, attempting to learn from those fathers… But after observing thousands of households, they all seemed ordinary. Most were even stricter than the rules of my own household… Yet why are their children so good, so upright and forthright…”

“Why are my own children so infamously listed on the Heavenly Judgment?!”

By now, Ximen Qianqiu’s emotion had clearly become uncontrolled, and he had forgotten he came here for treatment.

It was very likely that Feng Yin’s words had resonated with him, triggering the turbulent tides that lay buried in the depths of his heart.

This kind of anguish, he had never spoken of to anyone before.

It truly was… an utter disgrace!

As a father known for chivalry and righteousness, widely respected, whose actions were as clear as the breeze and bright moon, I used to walk with my head held high wherever I went.

But because of my sons’ notorious reputations, I now find myself unable to lift my head wherever I go!

A renowned figure in the martial world, yet clueless on how to be a father, how to discipline his own sons, unable to guide them to success!

Isn’t this an absurdity?

But this illogical absurdity is really happening to me!

Seeing Ximen Qianqiu before him, emotionally collapsing, Feng Yin sighed deeply in his heart.

How does one be a father?

How do you make children obey?

This is a question that no one has ever been able to answer clearly!

Is leading by example truly feasible?

Is early guidance absolutely effective?

Can strict discipline set things straight?

Perhaps it works for most, but it is not absolutely effective!

In one’s life, nothing is more complex than thoughts. Every person is an independent individual, and in a certain period, a slight trigger in thought can produce many effects, which in turn affect the entire course of one’s life, the path to the future.

And this kind of change is often beyond human power to reverse, like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, allowing it to race off into the distance, uncontrollable.

Once the reins are slipped, the ensuing events become exceedingly difficult to pull back!

“This question is beyond my ability to answer, given my young age,”

Feng Yin sighed softly, “What I can do, after this treatment, is to ensure that Senior Ximen’s health is fully restored to normal, even returning his bodily functions to match that of his youth…”

He seemed to imply fairly meaningfully, “Perhaps, Senior can have another child, and experience a different kind of feeling.”

Ximen Qianqiu shook his head, his heart ashen, “Having raised such three things, I have already lost all hope in educating children…”

“Senior has lived half a life of kindness and chivalry, with a long path ahead. Why confine and torment yourself without release.”

Feng Yin put the medicine away and said softly, “The preparation of this medicine will probably take six to eight hours. I’m not sure if Senior would like to wait here or go upstairs to rest?”

“I’ll just sit here for a while; thank you for your trouble, Divine Physician.”

Ximen Qianqiu said with low spirits, “Divine Physician may not know, but at this moment, my mind is in chaos. Years of serenity have turned to disorder in an instant, and I don’t know why… Could it truly be overwhelming joy and sorrow, an imbalance of emotions, really making a fool of myself before the Divine Physician.”

“Not at all.”

Feng Yin reassured warmly, “The greatest helplessness for a man is an unworthy wife and disappointing children, especially the latter. It’s not just Senior… This has been a headache for many great men, heroes, and warriors throughout history.”

“Please, take a seat, Senior. I’ll be right back.” After offering these polite words, Feng Yin left the secret chamber.

Ximen Qianqiu sat alone in the secret chamber, unlike other patients who sought to meditate and adjust their well-being to the optimum state.

Instead, he sighed deeply, now and then, each sigh seeming to come from the depths of his soul.

He remained unable to calm the raging tides in his heart even after a long while.

Ximen Qianqiu himself found it strange.

I have suppressed these emotions for so many years, and with my level of cultivation and mental state, if I could suppress them for so long, I should be able to continue doing so.

This bitterness in my heart has never been voiced.

But what is happening tonight?

How is it that just a few words from the Divine Physician have made me lose my composure like this?

When have I ever been so lacking in resolve?

“Perhaps it’s been repressed for too long, and with the sudden mix of joy and sorrow, it has erupted to the point of being uncontrollable…”

Ximen Qianqiu murmured excuses for himself, yet he still attributed all the heavy thoughts to the sighs of disappointment over his sons not living up to his expectations.

Huai Dao has already paid the price for his wicked deeds, his life extinguished… Huai De, Huai Rou, can you two still not see the prevailing truth that the net of heaven is vast and inescapable? When will you finally see the error of your ways?!”
