Urban Most Awesome Dad

Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Dissolving Enmity and Resolving Grievances_1

On the way back, Xu Fan informed Cui Fului.

He supposed that Cui Dong being struck by lightning, the father would have a hard time sleeping, very worried.

Xu Fan, being a father himself, naturally understood him.

Upon receiving the call, Cui Fului asked anxiously, “Mr. Xu, Dongzi… he’s alright?”

Xu Fan chuckled lightly, “Mr. Cui, rest assured, Cui Dong has successfully awakened his constitution, but because he needs to fully integrate, he will need to sleep for three days. Once he wakes up, his strength will certainly increase greatly.”

“Phew!”

Cui Fului took a deep breath, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from his heart, his mood light and joyful.

As a father, he was of course happy about Cui Dong’s increase in strength, but what was more important was that his son was safe.

Cui Fului said, “Mr. Xu, as Cui Dong’s father, I want to thank you.”

“No need for thanks, he is also my disciple, I will naturally look out for him and do my best to help him. By the way, I’ll take him with me today, and you can come over to pick him up tomorrow. Also, his car is parked at the foot of Mount Longshou, send someone to bring it back early.”

“I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Cui Fului turned on the light, got up from the bed, and excitedly started smoking.

This was truly a great joy, even more exciting than Cui Dong getting married. He, as a father, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

For the rest of the night, he could get a good night’s sleep.

Xu Fan returned to the Kowloon New City residential complex, carried Cui Dong from the parking lot to the elevator, and arrived at the door of Xu Dan’s room downstairs.

Just as he was about to knock, the door opened with a “creak”. Xu Dan, seeing through the peephole that it was Xu Fan outside, greeted him with a naive smile as soon as she showed her face.

“Not bad.” Xu Fan praised in his mind. @@novelbin@@

Xu Dan’s vigilance was still adequate; Xu Fan had deliberately kept his aura at the Qi Drawing Realm level to test her, and Xu Dan had not fallen into deep sleep, being immediately alert upon sensing it.

If she only woke up after he had knocked, then this little brother would have been too derelict. If such an overt approach couldn’t be detected, then what kind of security could he be?

He must be seriously disciplined; otherwise, Xu Fan couldn’t possibly feel at ease relying on him.

“Young Master, why are you coming now?”

Xu Dan looked at Xu Fan and then at the unconscious Cui Dong he was supporting, who looked like black charcoal, and asked in confusion.

“Leave this kid here to stay for the night; his father will come to pick him up tomorrow. As for why he looks like this, naturally, he was struck by lightning.”

Xu Fan explained briefly and walked into the room, giving Cui Dong a gentle push to land him on the sofa.

“Understood, Young Master, rest assured,” Xu Dan responded eagerly, her eyes still on Xu Fan. She opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to say something but didn’t dare to speak.

“Speak up if you have something to say, and just let it out if you need to, don’t act like a woman,” Xu Fan gave a sideways glance.

“Yes.” Xu Dan instantly perked up. Despite being tall and muscular with broad eyebrows and explosive muscles, he couldn’t help feeling weak in front of Xu Fan, like a student being called out to the teacher’s office for a talk.

He articulated, “Young Master, the thing is, the cultivation technique you’ve given me, it’s powerful, but it’s too profound. I’ve cultivated it up to the third volume, but for some reason, I just can’t grasp its essence. Also, whenever I operate the technique, my body suffers unbearable pain, and I just can’t continue cultivating.”

Xu Dan said, eyes wide with a desire for knowledge.

“Young Master, could you please give me some guidance again? Please,” he implored.

Xu Fan looked at him intently, his gaze as if able to see through his body.

For a moment, Xu Dan felt completely exposed, with no secrets to hide, and his reverence for Xu Fan intensified.

After a pause, Xu Fan broke into a smile and explained, “No big problem, from what I see, the main issue is the mindset with which you approach your cultivation.”

“Ah?” Xu Dan was startled, not understanding.

“The reason why you were able to cultivate the first two volumes of this technique so smoothly is that it matched your temperament, exceedingly overbearing, unstoppable, and flowing like a rainbow! When it comes to the third volume, you will need the state of mind from the Buddhist Sect. You are aware of the Monk Sweepers of Shaolin Temple, right? The Martial Monks of Shaolin are known for their extremely firm punches and kicks, but to further elevate their cultivation, they must comprehend the Buddhist teachings. And the Buddhist teachings emphasize a tranquil mind and a compassionate nature, pitying the heavens, empathizing with humanity, and aiding the world with mercy.”

“Thus, if you blindly pursue sheer strength, it will naturally backfire. Of course, the reason you’re not catching on is also because your heart is filled with too much hatred, incapable of liberation and tranquility, leading to a mismatch between your temperament and the technique.”

“In other words, right now you are like a towering giant, filled with strength, but you are a cripple, struggling to take a single step.”

Xu Dan listened intently, his expression finally showing a flash of enlightenment, and he couldn’t help but admire Xu Fan all the more for having identified the problem that had troubled him for many days simply by observing.

He sighed, “Young master’s words are sound; indeed, that’s the case. The motivation supporting my cultivation is more geared towards revenge than becoming stronger. Thus, when I cultivate, my mind is filled with thoughts of vengeance, and I could rush through the first two volumes with a burst of effort. But when cultivating the third volume, this mindset simply couldn’t adapt to the practice.”

“I’ve also pondered over this problem for a long time and realized it was an issue with my temperament. But after all, it’s a vengeance for the annihilation of my family, an irreconcilable enmity. Without avenging this, I won’t be liberated.”

His body was already shaking uncontrollably, fists clenched tight, the veins on his arms protruding.

Xu Fan looked at him and sighed inwardly, realizing that comfort would not solve his problem and decided to give him a hand.

Divine Sense fully released, enveloping Xu Dan, wrapping around him layer by layer, then his lips began to move slightly.

“Om!”

“Ma!”

“Ni!”

“Padme!”

“Hum!”

These were the Six Syllables of Truth from Buddhist teachings!

The golden characters formed by Spiritual Energy floated out of Xu Fan’s mouth and landed on Xu Dan’s forehead. Upon contact, they entered his mind.

The Six Syllables of Buddhist Truth, like the deep and resounding toll of a large bell, echoed through Xu Dan’s mind, enlightening his consciousness instantly, scattering his obsessions on the spirit platform, bringing clarity and letting go of his fixation on hatred.

Because Xu Dan was originally from the Buddhist Sect and had been indoctrinated and baptized by Buddhist teachings, the Six Syllables of Truth were most suitable for him, capable of purifying his mind and spirit.

Especially with the aid of Divine Sense, the effect of the Six Syllables were fully realized, able to calm the spirit and pacify the heart, dissolving hatred and resentment, even more effective than high monks reciting purification mantras and the Diamond Sutra.

Xu Dan’s countenance was calm, his gaze serene, as he bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle to Xu Fan and sincerely said, “Young master, thank you.”

The role of the Six Syllables was not to make him forget the vengeance of his family’s slaughter, but to temporarily let go of his fixation to avoid mental disturbance, or worse, succumb to demonic possession.

This was not an exaggeration—should Xu Dan continue to cultivate with his former temperament, one day he would become obsessed to the point of destruction, causing his body to overheat and ruin all his meridians.

Xu Fan reassured him, “Don’t think about anything for now, just focus on your cultivation. When your strength is sufficient, that will be the proper time for revenge.”

“At that time, you may seek your revenge whenever you wish, and if you need help, I certainly won’t stand by idly.”

“Rest assured, with me here, even if the sky falls, there will be no problem. Moreover, you have performed well recently; I have seen it all. I, your young master, am not heartless and won’t let you down.”

With those words, Xu Fan turned and walked out of the room.

Xu Dan stood there in a daze, watching Xu Fan’s retreating figure disappear, yet his heart stirred with excitement and joy.

Having received the pledge of help from Xu Fan, he instantly felt at ease.

Xu Fan’s willingness to assist him in his revenge touched him profoundly, especially since Xu Fan wasn’t fully aware of the situation with his enemies.

“Young master, I will remember your kindness,” murmured Xu Dan, lips pressed lightly together.

If his previous willingness to follow Xu Fan as his lackey was more out of awe for Xu Fan’s strength, thinking that by following the strong he would grow stronger faster,

Now, he had wholeheartedly decided to follow Xu Fan, with loyalty that could be proven to the sun and the moon, and he secretly vowed that in the future, even if it meant facing fire and boiling water for Xu Fan, he would not hesitate.
