Chapter 274 Hard work is no match for talent

"I don't accept it!" This was the first sentence Xu Ning shouted as he kicked open his sleeping bag the next morning.

Xu Feng, who was helping to make breakfast, heard the sound and immediately put down what he was doing and stuck his head into Xu Ning's tent to check the situation, only to find that Xu Ning was staring at him with a resentful look on his face. Xu Feng was frightened and asked quickly, "What's wrong, second sister?"

"It's so unfair!" Xu Ning pouted, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean by unjust?" Xu Feng asked doubtfully.

"Xiaobao, I feel so useless." After thinking all night, Xu Ning finally faced the reality.

It turned out that she had never truly understood the gap in talent between herself and the two brothers of the Xu family. Especially when she learned that Xu Feng was able to open the Ren and Du meridians without any guidance, the shock and loss in her heart became even stronger.

Last night, when Xu Feng told Xu Ning that he had successfully opened up his Ren and Du meridians, Xu Ning did not feel much, because at that time she was still immersed in the joy of being happy for Xu Feng.

However, as the night deepened, she began to think about this problem over and over again, gradually realizing the gap between herself and Xu Feng, and having a premonition that this gap would become larger and larger over time. This realization made her feel extremely depressed and helpless.

"Second sister, why do you think so?" When Xu Yuan heard the voice, he didn't even care about breakfast. He hurried into the tent and sat in front of Xu Ning with Xu Feng.

Xu Ning felt warm in his heart, but he couldn't help but speak out his grievances: "I feel so useless!"

Xu Yuan hurriedly explained: "Ningning, we didn't mean to tell you so late."

Xu Yuan felt guilty because he discovered Xu Feng's condition on the day they left the valley, and she wanted to verify it, so she delayed for a day before telling Xu Ning.

At the same time, they were indeed worried that telling Xu Ning too early would be too much of a blow to her.

Xu Ning pouted even more, and she suddenly felt very sorry for Cui Yong. As the headmaster of the martial arts world, Cui Yong actually accepted a useless disciple like her.

Even though she had such superior resources, she was no match for Xu Feng, who was self-taught.

This made Xu Ning doubt his own abilities, even though Xu Ning knew deep down that talent was not the key factor that determined everything, and hard work was the most important.

But she knows better that hard work is often nothing compared to talent.

When she realized that she was the insignificant existence, a sense of loss surged in her heart. It felt like she was ruthlessly left behind on the road to pursuing her goal.

"Ningning! Ningning!" Xu Yuan interrupted Xu Ning's messy thoughts loudly, fearing that she would go into a dead end.

"Second sister, what are you thinking about? You don't know how much I envy you. If I could, I would like to be you!"

"Why do you say that?" Xu Ning looked at Xu Feng and asked with some confusion.

Seeing that Xu Ning's thoughts were successfully diverted by him, Xu Feng immediately followed up with the words: "You are the disciple of a god. This alone is enough for me to envy you. Besides, you are so good at business, and you can build such a great house. If we didn't have you in our family, I guess everyone's grave would be taller than mine."

"Pfft..." Xu Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing, and she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing too exaggeratedly.

"Yes, Ningning, if it weren't for you, I would have turned into mud on the seabed long ago, and wouldn't have been able to see so many beautiful scenery along the way." Xu Yuan also echoed Xu Feng.

"That's right, second sister, how can you underestimate yourself? You don't even know how capable and important you are. You are the most indispensable person in our family." Xu Feng continued, trying to make Xu Ning believe in his own value and importance.

Xu Ning felt a little ashamed of her sudden outburst, thinking that she must have been bored and had nothing better to think about. If Old Lady Xu were here, she would definitely give her a slap and scold her.

Oh, I miss Old Lady Xu a little.

"It's only been two days since I came out, and I'm already craving milk." Seeing that Xu Ning finally stopped complaining about himself, Xu Yuan and Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second sister, let's write a letter. It's a good opportunity for me to practice my handwriting. Come on, I'll write now. I'll tell grandma that you think about her many times a day." In order to please his second sister, Xu Feng even took out his most disliked writing tool.

"No, just two or three times, no more. It makes me look like a clingy person. Then she will be disgusted and say, 'Go away, I'm very busy. I have to farm and feed chickens every day!'"

……

In the valley, after feeding the chickens, ducks and geese, Old Lady Xu and Zhang took their farm tools and prepared to go to the fields to plant vegetables together. At this time, they happened to meet the grandfather and grandson who had just finished their patrol at the doorstep.

"Grandma, my second sister wrote to me. It's from Xiaobao. She said that Ningning has been away for the past two days and she has missed you many times every day." Xu Feng handed the letter to Grandma Xu.

"Girl, are they doing well on the road?" Old Mrs. Xu took the letter, glanced at it and asked.

"Xiao Bao said everything went well. Xiao Bao also said that he had opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and now traveling every day is like a piece of cake." Xu Feng did not mention the stupid thing Xu Ning did today, but he had to admit that Xu Ning really understood Old Lady Xu.

"Okay, I have to go to farm. I have a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese to feed. Tell her not to write to me and bother me. I'm busy!" said Old Mrs. Xu proudly.

After saying this, Old Lady Xu returned the letter to Xu An and left with Zhang in a huff.

Old Man Xu smiled as he watched Old Lady Xu and the others go away, and said to Xu An, "Just do as your grandmother says, Daya will understand."

"Got it, sir." Xu An replied.

……

In the capital, Qi Canglan, who had packed everything, set out from Jiang Mansion with his men.

As soon as the carriage left Jiang's house, the spies hiding in various places nearby began to pass the message to their master.

"Madam, the servants reported that the young master has sent people out again." Although Zuo Jing was locked up in her own yard, she was still well-informed.

When Zuo Jing heard the servant's report, a sarcastic smile appeared on her well-kept face, and she ordered the maid, "Go find someone to follow him. He is so successful now, he doesn't need a few of us to get information."

"Yes, ma'am." After saying that, the maid retreated.

The nanny who had been standing guard in the room was very perceptive. She immediately poured a cup of tea, blew it until it was warm before passing it to Zuo Jing.

Zuo Jing took a sip and put it down. She couldn't help but press her temples with her slender hands. The nanny instantly appeared behind her and gently pressed her with her strong fingers.

Zuo Jing couldn't help but moan in comfort, her brows relaxed a little, and asked, "Does the master have any news recently?"

The nanny thought for a moment and said, "The master has been busy dealing with court affairs and rarely comes home, but I heard that the master is in good health, so Madam, don't worry."

Zuo Jing frowned slightly and said, "The master is always busy with official duties, and I don't know when he can spend time with me."

The nanny comforted her, "The master is also doing this for the prosperity of the family. When he is done with this busy period, he will probably come back to accompany Madam."

Zuo Jing nodded helplessly and said, "I hope so."

The two were silent for a while, and Zuo Jing suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, has that woman done anything recently?"

The nanny understood who she was talking about and replied, "Don't worry, Madam. That woman has been staying in her own house since she returned to the capital. She doesn't dare to come out and cause trouble again."

Zuo Jing sneered, "She's smart, if she dares to mess with me again, I'll show you how I'll deal with her!"

Mammy nodded and said, "Madam is right, she is just a bitch and not worth Madam's trouble."

Zuo Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's not talk about her. You continue to rub me, I'm a little tired."

The nanny responded and continued to massage Zuo Jing seriously.
