"But I can't understand anything you're saying!" Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but reach out and tug at his hair.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan felt utterly overwhelmed and had no clue what it all meant.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's bewildered expression, Ming Yue pondered for a moment and then spoke again, "Let me explain it to you once more!"

A look of delight immediately appeared on Ye Xunhuan's face: "Great!"

"Yin and Yang are a kind of categorization. They say isolated yin cannot survive, and solitary yang cannot grow. Without yang, yin cannot be born; without yin, yang cannot transform," Ming Yue said lightly. "And there's a phrase in the 'Tao Te Ching' that goes: 'All things carry yin and embrace yang, achieving harmony through the blending of qi!'"

"Thus, yin-yang and the two opposites are both contradictory and complementary. Heat is yang, cold is yin; heaven is yang, earth is yin; upper is yang, lower is yin!"

"No matter whether it's yin-yang or the two opposites, they depend on each other and transform into each other. Neither can exist independently of the other."

Ye Xunhuan listened intently with a look of partial understanding on his face.

"Yin and yang embody the way of heaven and earth," Ming Yue said softly. "Take the human body, for example. The back is yang, the belly is yin; the exterior is yang, the interior is yin; the upper body is yang, the lower body is yin; motion is yang, stillness is yin; high fluidity is yang, low fluidity is yin; force and spirit are yang, bodily fluids and temperature are yin."

"This is the essence of the two opposites," Ming Yue said, glancing at Ye Xunhuan. "If you still don't understand, I don't know how else I can explain it to you!"

"I think I understand a bit!"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan say this, Ming Yue gradually revealed a look of joy on his face: "Really?"

"But there's still a lot I don't get!" Ye Xunhuan said with a frown. "I need to think it over carefully!"

"Alright!" Ming Yue immediately said, "Remember, yin and yang are equivalent to the two opposites. Understand yin and yang, and you'll grasp the two opposites!"

"Got it!"

"Then think it over carefully. I'm heading back!"

Ye Xunhuan nodded, saying nothing, just letting Ming Yue leave.

After Ming Yue left, Ye Xunhuan stood motionless in place, looking pensive.

Time ticked away, and before long, afternoon had arrived, but Ye Xunhuan remained still. At some point, snowflakes began to drift down from the sky.

The pure white snowflakes floated down like elves dancing in the wind, looking beautiful.

Yet Ye Xunhuan seemed completely oblivious to the falling snowflakes, standing there like a sculpture, deep in thought!

The snow fell heavier, soon covering the ground with a silver blanket, and Ye Xunhuan was also covered with snowflakes, but he did not move!

He seemed like a lifeless object; unless someone moved him, he wouldn't budge!

As time hurried by, night fell without notice. However, because of the snow, the entire world appeared a bright white, not as dark as usual!

Meanwhile, Qiu Ruoxi had already returned to the villa. As for Wei Zixu, who might be with Tang Wen, he hadn't come back either.

After returning, Qiu Ruoxi found that Ye Xunhuan hadn't come back either, and as time dragged on, Ye Xunhuan still hadn't shown up.

This made Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan couldn't help but ask Qiu Ruoxi: "Ruoxi, with the snow falling so heavily, where has Xunhuan gone, and why isn't he back yet?"

"He went to the welfare institute," Qiu Ruoxi replied calmly.

"Welfare institute?"

"Yes," Qiu Ruoxi said softly. "There's a sage there; Xunhuan needs his help, but there's no need to worry, it's fine!"

Although Qiu Ruoxi was also worried about why Ye Xunhuan hadn't returned yet, she had to maintain her composure in front of Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong. Otherwise, they would start overthinking things.

"There can't be any sages at the welfare institute..."

"Dad, do you know Ming Yue?"

"Ming Yue?" Qiu Shuihan frowned. "Could it be Wudang's Ming Yue? Wasn't he missing?"

"I don't know, but he is at the welfare institute; that much is true." Qiu Ruoxi said softly, "Xunhuan went to find him."

It was not that Qiu Ruoxi wanted to mention Ming Yue, but if she didn't, Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong might think Ye Xunhuan went to look for Mei Hanqing again.

After all, Mei Hanqing grew up in the welfare institute.

"If it really is Ming Yue, then it makes sense that he hasn't returned yet," Qiu Shuihan said knowingly. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

At the same time, after Ming Yue got the address from the old director regarding Mei Hanqing's place, he directly left the welfare institute to find Mei Hanqing.

His departure schedule needed to be moved up; he couldn't delay for another half month, so he needed to ask Mei Hanqing whether she would leave with him.

If Mei Hanqing chose to refuse, Ming Yue would not press the issue and would leave on his own.

When Ming Yue arrived at Mei Hanqing's place, it was already past eight in the evening.

However, it wasn't just Mei Hanqing at home; Jian Yunong and Su Bingzhi were also there.

Ming Yue's sudden arrival caught Mei Hanqing by surprise.

"Uncle Beggar, with the snow falling so heavily, why are you here?" Mei Hanqing asked with concern, "Come in quickly, don't catch a cold!"

Ming Yue chuckled, "It's okay, girl. Is it convenient to talk at your place? If not, I can say it here."

Hearing Ming Yue's words, Mei Hanqing's heart skipped a beat.

"Uncle Beggar, go ahead."

With that, Mei Hanqing walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Ming Yue knew there were people in Mei Hanqing's place, but he didn't mind and got straight to the point, "Girl, originally, I wanted to give you a week to think it over, but now that's not possible!"

"I might leave tomorrow night. If you're willing to come with me, then get ready!"

Although Mei Hanqing had guessed Ming Yue's intention, she still found it hard to accept when he said it.

"Weren't you talking about half a month?"

"Plans can't keep up with changes. If I stay longer, the welfare institute will be in danger," Ming Yue said with a bitter smile. "I know it's sudden for you, but there's no other way!"

"Think it over tonight. If you want to come with me, I'll take you away tomorrow night. If you don't want to, I won't force you," Ming Yue sighed.

A complex expression slowly emerged on Mei Hanqing's face. She nodded, "Uncle Beggar, I understand. I'll contact you then!"

"You don't need to contact me. I'll be downstairs at your place tomorrow night. If you want to come with me, come down; if not, I'll leave at nine!"
