Volume 1: The King's Son Chapter 11: Untying the Heart Knot
"Grandpa!"
When Wang Bing got into Wang Ai's business car, he sat directly next to the old man.
"How was it? Did you get any inspiration from this trip to the National Gallery?" Wang Ai asked with a smile.
"Um……"
Wang nodded and continued , "I met the Lu family when I was visiting the venue!"
"Lu family?"
Wang Ai raised his head slightly and glanced at Uncle Dong sitting in the front row through the rearview mirror. At this time, Uncle Dong also saw Wang Ai's puzzled look through the rearview mirror.
He quickly said, "Yes, Master Wang met Master Lu Lin and Miss Lu Linglong from the Lu family at the Chinese Painting Museum today!"
"oh……"
Wang Ai naturally knew these two younger ones. It seemed that his grandson met the direct descendant of the Lu family today, not some side branch. It would be nice to have some contact with the direct descendant of the Lu family!
"It's those two children! I heard that Old Lu attaches great importance to these two children..."
At this point, Wang Ai looked at Wang Bing who was sitting next to him, and said meaningfully: "Let's get in touch with them more. We still have to maintain the relationship between the four families!"
"Yes, Master, I understand!"
Wang Bing nodded, but he seemed to have thought of something, and turned to ask: "Grandpa, when we came here, I heard you said you wanted to get together ..."
"Everyone was busy, so we couldn't get together!"
Wang Ai replied, but a barely perceptible gleam of brilliance flashed in his squinting eyes.
Wang Ai was really surprised by what Patriarch Gao said at the table today. He could sense that cracks were beginning to appear among the four families that had been so close to each other...
Wang Ai did not feel too much disgusted with Lu Jin's situation. After all, it was obvious to everyone in the circle that this hypocrite had a good relationship with Zhang Zhiwei.
Moreover, Lu Jin would never make mistakes in major matters. He could still grasp this most basic bottom line. Wang Ai didn't need to worry too much. It was just that the Gao family...
"Alas, this is a troubled time!" Wang Ai sighed.
"Grandpa!"
At this time, Wang Bing suddenly said, "I want to become stronger!"
"Become stronger?"
Wang Ai frowned slightly, because what happened this morning distracted him, and for a moment he didn't understand what Wang Bing meant!
"Did the kid from the Lu family bully you?" Wang Ai asked subconsciously.
Wang Bing shook his head. He looked at Wang Ai very seriously and said, "Grandpa, there is no conflict between Lu Lin and me..."
"It's just that through this period of contact with him, I suddenly realized one thing... I'm too weak!"
"Too weak?"
"Yes, I originally thought that I was very talented and could take it slow and lay a solid foundation step by step, but..."
Wang Bing clenched his fists involuntarily. "When Lu Lin and I were chatting in the art gallery, I could sense the Qi in Lu Lin's body. Both in quality and volume, I cannot compare to her!"
Wang Bing looked at Wang Ai and said, "Grandpa, I am already ten years old this year, and Lu Lin is only thirteen, but he is much stronger than me!"
“…”
Wang Ai just listened quietly without saying much.
Seeing his grandfather looking at him with such serious eyes for the first time, Wang Bing was also ready to make another effort, "I am not afraid of hardship! Grandfather, I really want to become stronger!"
"well……"
Wang Ai sighed deeply, his eyes became kind, he reached out and touched Wang Bing's head: "Okay! But we have to agree on one thing!"
"Grandpa, you say!" Wang Bing looked at Wang Ai firmly.
"Once we start, there's no such thing as quitting!"
At this moment, Wang Ai seemed to have made up his mind and said, "After we go back, we'll start special training after I've made all the arrangements!"
"good!"
Wang Bing sat in the art museum this morning, reflecting on what he had done in the past ten years since he came to this world.
From entering the world of aliens, to practicing, to the troubles of the inner demons...
He thought a lot!
To be honest, Wang Bing always felt that until now, he still couldn't completely say goodbye to his past self.
That dark period of life has been like a demon in my heart that has been bothering me over the past few years and causing me to stay where I am on the path of spiritual practice.
In this life, I have such a powerful family and such a unique environment, why do I have to be so stubborn with my past self?
In these ten years, I have been troubled and sad!
When he met Lu Lin, he even discussed this issue with him, such as "I have a friend..."
However, Lu Lin's next words seemed to wake Wang Bing up.
Lu Lin said very seriously at the time: "Each of us has been in contact with the outside world since childhood, constantly in contact with people and various things!"
"In our hearts, we put different 'labels' on different things, but our own definitions are different from others', which creates conflicts. After conflicts erupt, we finally reach a certain degree of balance, and the cycle repeats over and over again!"
"Then the question is, at certain moments, we can live out our true selves very well, but at other times, we can easily fall into the 'I' given to us by the outside world."
"Just like your friend, he is trapped in the 'I' given to him by the outside world!"
“Once we fall into this kind of thinking mode, it is really hard to know ourselves, and we are likely to continue to move forward in the direction given by others.”
"Although on the surface, it seems that you are the one doing all these things, but what is the truth? Only when you truly act as yourself, can you be yourself. In other words, only when you find your own thinking and are not manipulated by external thinking, can you truly see yourself clearly."
Wang Bing opened his eyes wide when he heard this. He swallowed and asked, "Brother Lu, how old are you this year?"
"Thirteen! What's wrong?"
"What you just said can only be said by a senior in his sixties or seventies..."
This is simply the philosophy of life!
Wang Bing even suspected that the Lu Lin in front of him was following the path of regression.
Otherwise, how could a thirteen-year-old child express such a powerful insight into life?
"Of course I didn't say that. My great grandfather said that when he was teaching his students!"
Lu Lin scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I just repeated it. I felt that your friend was quite similar to my great grandfather's student, so I copied it verbatim..."
"To be honest, I don't really understand what these words mean."
After this period of contact with Lu Lin, Wang confirmed one thing, that is, the Lu Lin in front of him would not lie!
After hearing what he said, Wang Bing also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Lu Lin in front of him was not an old monster who had been reborn!
After getting in the car, Wang Bing once again recalled what Lu Lin had said. The more he thought about it, the clearer his thoughts became...
Yes, why should I live with the labels given to me by others? Why should I let their thinking control me?
After understanding this, Wang Bing's aura changed significantly.
This is also why Wang Ai has been looking at Wang Bing with this kind of eyes since just now.
Because Wang Ai also noticed that the aura of his grandson was different from before, as if he had gained enlightenment...
