Ru was indeed intrigued by Old Master Ji's words. As Yuan had said, her personality had always been eccentric and that's why she always acted unexpectedly. But the way Old Master Ji described her passion for the thrill, she was surprised, to say the least.
Yuan came back to the room and they didn't bring the earlier topic up at all. Pretending as if the earlier conversation had never happened.
Watching Yuan pick up a teacup, Ru frowned and held his arm saying, "There is an elder before you. How can you pick up your cup so casually? Don't you know about the tea etiquettes?"
"I don't," Yuan answered honestly.
Ru felt a headache coming as she faced the innocent youngster. "Looks like I have a lot to discuss with Zhi. How can he be so careless in raising you?" Shaking her head, she added, "Look closely." After that, she spent the next ten minutes demonstrating the proper etiquettes for tea including his posture.
Yuan looked at her admiration and said, "Oniisan, is there anything you can't do?"
"What do you mean?" Ru asked.
"You are good at fighting, know your way with traditional medicine, have great culinary skills, possess vast knowledge of history. You're such an insightful person. Don't you get tired of learning?"
If there was an ego meter, it would have topped since Ru was basking in all these praises happily.
But maintaining the image of an eloquent young master, she said, "Little squirrel, knowledge is like an ocean, no matter how much water you take there will always be something new out there to learn. Learning only stops when we end up in a grave since life is a lesson in itself. So, while we are alive we should learn this lesson wisely."
Old Master Ji who had been silently watching their exchange of words could not hide his astonishment as he looked at that seemingly young man. But his words were definitely not like that of a young man.
'Xie Rong... This person is getting even more interesting.' Old Master Ji thought he might never be able to forget this green-eyed person just like he was yet to forget his old comrade. He wasn't planning on interrupting them as he could see how Yuan's eyes were glimmering with curiosity and interest.
"I have a weird question. Will you answer it?" Ru nodded nonchalantly and Yuan went on, "Do you think there is magic in this world?"
"Sure. There is." Yuan was a bit taken aback since he really wasn't expecting it all.
"Okay... Then where is this magic?" He asked after calming himself a bit.
"It's right here." Ru poked his chest which made him furrow his brows while she continued, "Magic had always been within us. It wasn't supposed to be anywhere. Can you feel that rhythmic beat in your chest?"
"It's my heartbeat, I surely can feel it."
"Then why don't you believe in magic. Isn't it magical enough that a single heart is holding up your whole body?" Yuan widened his eyes in surprise.
"But why do people say that love is magical?" he retorted again.
Ru gave a lopsided grin which seemed bitter as she said, "Love is already a miracle in itself. Certain magic that one can't explain. Isn't it weird that the heart is yours but it beats at the rhythm of someone else? That's love. We can feel it but can't see it just like magic." But with a sigh, she added softly as if talking to herself, "But magic is also an illusion just like love since both come to end one day."
The distracted Yuan might not have heard her last words but the attentive and sharp Old Master Ji heard her clearly. He didn't know where this green-eyed person popped out from but he was sure that Ru would bring a lot of changes in his family. It was yet to tell whether they'd be good or bad.
"It's not early anymore. I should excuse myself now." Old Master Ji turned to Ru and said, "It was nice meeting you again. Let's play a game of chess sometime?"
"Sure." Ru agreed readily.
Then he exchanged some words with his grandson before leaving along with his huge entourage and here Ru thought only Xiao Zhi Ren was a show-off. But even she was clear that being the old Patriarch of Ji Family, Ji Rusheng's life was indeed in danger and precautions were necessary.
