The Otherworldly God

Chapter 404

"I can't. I can't."

Le Zheng Shuiling had no confidence at all, not to mention that this matter was too sudden and she was not mentally prepared at all, so she was resistant in her heart.

"You can do it."

Le Zheng Shuiling suddenly raised her head, and the scenery in front of her changed. There was only a bluestone road in front of her, and there was only a familiar and nostalgic figure beside her.

"Grandpa...Grandpa?"

"Shui Ling, do you see it? That is the courtyard of the head of the He family."

"Is it in there? But why is it so overgrown with weeds that I can't even see the road clearly?"

"That's because someone doesn't want it to be seen by others."

"Why?"

“Because they are afraid.”

"Afraid? Afraid of what?"

“Fear of change.”

“Why should we be afraid of change?”

The little girl Le Zheng Shuiling looked at the kind and dignified old man in front of her, her heart full of doubts and puzzlement. Her eyes showed both fear of the unknown and desire for answers.

"Shui Ling, everything in the world is changing. Only by facing change bravely can we make continuous progress. However, some people are afraid of this change because it may bring unknown risks and challenges, and may even threaten their existing status and interests."

The old man's voice was gentle and deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. His eyes were always fixed on the weed-covered path. From Le Zheng Shuiling's perspective, it seemed as if his eyes were filled with tears. The young Le Zheng Shuiling could not understand at all.

"My father, my eldest brother, and my second brother all taught me that I only follow the routine when practicing magic, and that I clearly feel the problem but only focus on myself. If I don't change, doesn't it mean stagnation or even regression? Is that what you mean, Grandpa?"

The old man smiled and nodded, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes: "You are right, Shui Ling. Stagnation or regression is fatal to any person or family.

But change is not easy, it requires courage, wisdom and determination. Many people are afraid of change because they lack these qualities or are afraid of the pain and sacrifice that change brings.

Is He Jiazhu the only one who discovered the problems in Lezheng? Obviously not, but over the years, he was the only one who dared to bring them up and make reforms.

It's a pity that the conservatives are more numerous, more powerful and more influential. For the sake of their own immediate interests, they disregard Le Zheng's future and are willing to... "

Le Zheng Shui Ling held the old man's hand and said, "I'm not afraid of Grandpa."

Le Zheng Shuiling still remembers the light in the old birthday boy's eyes. Even though she was still young at that time, she still remembers many conversations between her and the old birthday boy, as well as their bold words.

Even when the old man was dying, he still held my hand and spoke to me earnestly.

"Shui Ling, my dear great-grandson. First, you must have confidence in yourself and believe in your own abilities and potential. Second, you must have the courage to face challenges and difficulties and not be afraid of failure and setbacks. Finally, you must have the wisdom to judge when to change and how to change to bring the greatest benefit."

Le Zheng Shuiling closed her eyes and listened carefully to the old man's teachings before his death. The fear and resistance in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Grandpa, I understand."

Le Zheng Shuiling opened her eyes, took the post, and looked into the distance behind Mu Xin. She seemed to see the old man nodding with satisfaction. His figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared in the distance.

Le Zheng Shui Ling stood there and took a deep breath, as if she had drawn infinite strength and courage from the old man. She knew that she was ready to face everything that was about to happen.

"Okay, I'll do it."

"Have you really decided?"

Le Zheng Shui Ling's eyes were full of confidence and determination at the moment, and she nodded heavily, "Yes. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm not doing this because I want to show off my power and status, nor am I doing this for fun. I want to take Le Zheng with me for thousands of years, until the end of time."

When Mu Xin heard that she had even brought up the phrase "the end of time", she couldn't help but laugh and jokingly asked, "Does the Demon Lord agree with you when you say that?"

Le Zheng Shui Ling was stunned at first, and when she reacted, she blushed immediately, "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not true."

"He shouldn't mind waiting for you for a lifetime. It's a bit difficult to wait for you forever."

"Who asked him to wait?" Le Zheng Shui Ling's cheeks became more and more red because of Mu Xin's words, but a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that Mu Xin was encouraging and supporting her in her unique way, and at the same time, there was a hint of joking. Le Zheng Shui Ling shook her head gently, hiding her shyness in her heart, and turned to be serious.

"Sister-in-law, I am not kidding. I am fully aware of the responsibilities I bear, and I understand that change is not easy. But as Grandfather said, only by having the courage to face change can we lead the Lezheng family to a more glorious future. Although I am a woman, I also hope to contribute my own strength to the family. No, the Taoist family does not distinguish between men and women."

Le Zheng Shuiling clenched her fists to cheer herself up.

Mu Xin looked at Le Zheng Shui Ling's determined eyes and felt relieved. She knew that this decision was made by Le Zheng Shui Ling. Although she was young, she had extraordinary courage and determination.

"Shui Ling, sister-in-law believes in you. But you have to remember that you have to take one step at a time. Change also takes time and patience. Don't rush for success, and don't fight alone. Your two brothers will always support you. The Lezheng family will be your strongest backing."

Le Zheng Shui Ling nodded gratefully, with a determined light in her eyes. "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will keep it in mind. I will use what I have learned and do my best to work hard for the future of the Le Zheng family. I believe that as long as we are united, nothing is impossible."

After saying that, Le Zheng Shuiling turned and looked into the distance, her eyes full of longing and expectation for the future. She knew that the road ahead might be full of thorns and challenges, but as long as she moved forward courageously, nothing could stop her from moving forward.

Le Zheng Qiming suddenly approached and patted her shoulder, saying seriously: "That was what my sister-in-law said, I didn't say that. From now on, I dare not call you brother or sister, lest I be accused of treason. Now there is no place for me to repent. What's more, you are petty and might take the opportunity to retaliate against me."

Le Zheng Shui Ling grabbed his hands and held them behind his back, and did not let go even though Le Zheng Qi Ming cried out in pain.

"What? Are you going to offend me now? Be careful or I'll take the opportunity to retaliate." Le Zheng Shui Ling exerted force with his hands, and after hearing a crisp sound, Le Zheng Shui Ling nervously let go of his hands, "Are you okay, Qi Ming?"

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded behind me.
