Xia Lingdang was stunned after hearing this and forcefully swallowed her snot and tears.

Jiang Beiran then took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xia Lingdang.” Wipe yourself.'”‘

“Thank… Thank you, master.”

While Xia Lingdang was wiping her tears, Jiang Beiran asked, “‘What did you feel when that blue flag made you feel the spiritual energy?”

“1…1 didn’t feel anything.”

“Don’t think about spiritual energy. Just tell me everything you felt at that time.”

“1…1 feel cool here, I feel urgent, I… I still feel a little hungry.”

As he listened to Xia Lingdang describe everything she felt, nothing made Jiang Beiran feel that she was special at all.

This gave Jiang Beiran a huge headache.

In his understanding, there were two types of useless protagonists.

One was that he had awakened the most useless martial soul on the surface, but he was actually the ultimate genius with two martial souls. He was just hiding it.

Given Xia Lingdang’s current level of trust in him, Jiang Beiran did not think that she would hide anything from him.

So it shouldn’t be like this.

As for the other type of useless main characters, they had mediocre talent at the beginning and were ridiculed and ostracized by their fellow disciples. Or a protagonist who was originally gifted and talented, but suddenly became weak for some reason.

Xia Lingdang certainly had no experience in cultivation before, so naturally, she did not have any extraordinary talent.

Then the only possibility left was that she really had mediocre aptitude and low talent.

And such protagonists would usually quickly obtain fortuitous encounters, and then grow at an extraordinary speed, thus putting on airs and slapping their faces.

‘Strange encounter…Could I be her fortuitous encounter?

‘Do I have to teach her personally?’

Various thoughts kept popping up in Jiang Beiran’s mind. Anyway, the only thing he could be sure of now was that Xia Lingdang was definitely not a genius in the traditional sense, but had taken another path.

‘Sigh…My head hurts.

Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and patted Xia Lingdang’s shoulder, who was still trying to recall what she had just felt.

“Don’t think about it anymore. Go over and practice slowly.”

“Yes…”

“Go ahead.”

Xia Lingdang turned her head back three times after she heard that and walked toward the blue flag. Her eyes were filled with unease.

The reason why he had asked her to continue learning was because Jiang Beiran wanted to see how mediocre his aptitude was. If he really could not learn it at all, Jiang Beiran would be happier, because that way, he could completely train Xia Lingdang as a useless protagonist.

On the other hand, if she had the same innate talent as an ordinary cultivator,

Jiang Beiran would be in deep trouble.

After all, the average person was the true trash.

Standing beside Yu Manwen again, Jiang Beiran felt that he had encountered a thorny problem this time.

It was not difficult to train Xia Lingdang, but it was too difficult to be her personal nanny.

However, Jiang Beiran had no choice but to take things one step at a time.

Soon, it was evening. Glancing at Xia Lingdang, who was still scratching her head because she could not feel any spiritual energy, Jiang Beiran said to Yu

Manwen,””Let’s call it a day.”

“You’re giving up just like that?” Yu Manwen asked.

“It’s not giving up, but people don’t necessarily have to fight to the death on a path.”

Yu Manwen nodded and walked to Lan Qi’s side to whisper a few words to her.

Then, the blue flag man bowed to Yu Manwen and left the training room.

Looking at Xia Lingdang who was about to bury her head in her chest, Jiang Beiran said,””There’s no need to rush. Just take it slow. Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere first.”

“Aren’t you going back to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion with me?” Yu Manwen asked. ”

“Okay, you can write it back. I’ll bring her around.”

Surprised once again by Jiang Beiran’s devotion to this girl, Yu Manwen nodded and said,””Then I’ll go back first. I’ll help you pass the message.”

“Alright.”

After Yu Manwen left, Jiang Beiran brought Xia Lingdang to Jinyao Town.

Arriving at his own mansion, Jiang Bei had just pushed open the door when he saw Li Bo, who was seriously sweeping the floor.

Uncle Li naturally saw him as well. He immediately put down his broom and bowed. “Greetings, Eldest Young Master.”

“There’s no need to bow. Continue with your work.”

“Yes.” Li Bo said and immediately ran away with the broom.

After Uncle Li left, Xia Lingdang suddenly grabbed Jiang Beiran’s arm and said,””Master, I want to stay by your side to serve you. I don’t want to stay in this residence.”

This was the first time Jiang Beiran realized that Xia Lingdang had the will to follow him.

However, Jiang Beiran felt that it was a little strange.

She was just an ordinary person and was very obedient. If he arranged a job for her, she should be very happy to do it.

However, from her behavior, it seemed that she was very worried that he would leave her here.

Although he could understand that she was very reliant on herself, Jiang Beiran still felt that something was off, as if he had missed something.

After sighing inwardly, Jiang Beiran replied,””Don’t worry, I won’t leave you here.”

After saying that, he led Xia Lingdang inside.

Jiang Beiran came to the garden with ease and chanted a spell to bring Xia Lingdang into the self-protection barrier.

In the next second, Jiang Beiran saw Gu Qinghuan running out of the flower room. She bowed to Jiang Beiran and said,””Greetings, Senior Brother.”

Although it had only been a month since they last met, Gu Qinghuan had returned to his original state.

The last time he saw him, he had thought that he had become a muscular man.

However, when they met again this time, he seemed to have changed back to that elegant and light Confucian scholar. The muscles on his body had disappeared.
