Listening to Xiang Mantang's wistful sighs with a chuckle, Mu Jinyu grinned and said, "Hey, you know your senior brother has never had that patience and perseverance, right? Besides, I'm not short on money, so I just live day by day."
Xiang Mantang let out a soft sigh and didn't say anything more.
In fact, he knew very well that Mu Jinyu's laziness and refusal to cultivate properly came from two fears: the fear of feeling inferior and the fear that if he performed too well, his master would pay even less attention to him.
So, even when his master scolded him, Mu Jinyu steadfastly refused to cultivate seriously, always sporting a playful grin and pretending to be captivated by fun.
And by pretending over time, he grew accustomed to it, and really became less ambitious and more indolent. Even after leaving Yinlong Mountain, he couldn't change back.
Xiang Mantang felt guilty about this, but at the same time, he was quite envious.
