Chapter 827: 3 Things
And Feng Ao Kuai had to say that Feng Mo Xing did change a lot.The temperament of this youth was no longer that of a brat who only knew how to follow what other people said. Instead, it seemed as if he had been tempered and calmed down a lot. He looked more and more like a scholar.
For him to change this much just within a few months after coming to the academy showed that he truly had the aptitude for learning.
If his sister didn’t give him this chance back then, there was a high chance that this potential of his would never be unearthed. After all, their father was a commander on the battlefield who didn’t have many capabilities and only came using his connection.
Then the incident with his wife caused the two children to lose their mother.
Feng Mo Xing could be said to be dealt the largest blow because it was his own mother who tried to kill him back then. If not because she was stopped, he might have lost his life a long time ago.
His father gave up on him.
His two half-brothers bullied him a lot until Feng Mo Yue, his sister, stepped forward and dealt with them ruthlessly.
“You have changed,” Feng Ao Kuai commented with a faint smile.
Feng Mo Xing was startled and showed a bitter smile. He could still remember how much he was jealous of Feng Ao Kuai many years ago. At that time, he still had his mother’s and his father’s care and grew up being pampered by the two of them.
Because of that, he thought that he must be something and had the right to many things. But it was only after he lost everything that he realized that he was nothing. He was nothing more than a useless brat who couldn’t even do anything right.
It was to the point that he had to rely on his sister.
He hated himself a lot back then for not being able to be the one to protect his sister even though he knew that the rule was the hardest for girls. In the end, he could only watch as his underage sister was married away to trade for a chance for him to study here.
But after learning many things, he learned how to accept things.
And how to grow stronger so that he would be useful to his sister and repay what she had done to him before it was too late.
“I only have a few more years to live, so I want to live to the fullest.” Feng Mo Xing smiled. He looked into the distance. “What my sister did, what you did, I can remember everything and I’m not an ungrateful person. In my limited time, I want to do whatever I can to repay for what you have done to me.”

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Feng Mo Xing and silently nodded in his heart.
Back then, he and the other two helped to cover up the incident and didn’t report the two of them even though they knew. In addition, Nan Hua’s medicine would help to extend their lives for a few more years, giving them more chances to live their lives to the fullest.
“Did you meet with a good teacher?”
“Yes, I’ve become Teacher Pei’s disciple. Do you remember him?”
Teacher Pei?
It took Feng Ao Kuai some time before he remembered that there was indeed a teacher with this surname. This teacher taught them history and Feng Ao Kuai did learn a lot from him. There were so many things they could learn from history.
In order not to repeat the same mistake their predecessor had made, they had to learn history and remember it well.
“He’s a good teacher.” Feng Ao Kuai nodded in agreement.
Feng Mo Xing smiled. “He came when I was down and then told me that there are three different things in this world that I need to recognize. First are the things that I can control, such as my own action, my thoughts, and also my feelings. Second are the things that I can’t control but can influence, such as the opinion of the people around me and the thoughts of others. Through my words and action, I can influence them and make changes.”
At this time, Feng Mo Xing looked at Feng Ao Kuai. “Just like I can influence your thoughts of me, but I can’t control what you want to think about me in the end. People who interact with me will more or less be affected by my action and words, just like how other people can affect me. But it’s impossible for me to control other people because everyone has their own thoughts.
Third are the things that I can’t control and can’t influence. The easiest example for this is I can’t control where I was born, when I will be born, who my parents are, natural disasters, and many others.”
Feng Ao Kuai nodded.
He had learned about this when he was young, far earlier than Feng Mo Xing. At that time, he learned how to use his words and action to make his grandfather value him and not make things difficult for him and his older brother.
At the same time, he learned how to influence his other cousins to do what he wanted them to do. It might sound despicable, but he knew that it was simply used or being used. There was not much familiar relationship between him and his other cousins, who only wanted to use him as a stepping stone.
His mental age and capabilities had long surpassed people of his age.
That was why he couldn’t get along with most of his cousins and why the others envied and wanted to step on him.
“And after thinking about it, I know very well that I couldn’t control my mother’s actions back then. I know very well that it’s because I can’t understand her well, so I chose to forget about it. After all, she’s still the same person who raised me for so many years.” Feng Mo Xing showed a bitter smile.
He couldn’t hate his mother even if he wanted to. There were times when he hoped that she had made a different decision, but in the end, he knew that he didn’t even understand her well.
How could he possibly be the one to decide what she did?
It was absurd.
“And it’s because I’m weak and had no cards to show to our father that my sister decided to take things into her hand. I know that she also wanted to do things on her own so that she wouldn’t always be at the mercy of others.
Probably, if we had waited for our father’s death on the battlefield, things would be different. But I can’t turn back time and I can only influence the future.
Because of that, I want to make sure I can become an official as quickly as possible. I still have a lot to learn, but I’ll do my best so that I’ll be able to be the younger brother my sister is proud of. At the same time, I want to be able to repay your cousin for what she had given to us.”
Hearing Feng Mo Xing’s words, Feng Ao Kuai now realized that he had underestimated the influence the two siblings had for each other. He himself cared for his older brother, but he would not be able to completely depend on the other party.
The reason?
That was because Feng Ao Si was too stupid.
However, Feng Ao Kuai cared for his older brother. If they were not related, he might not even want to look at the face of the other party.
Feng Ao Kuai took two bottles out of his pocket. “This is from her. One for you and the other one for your sister. The effect is the same as before.”
“Willโฆ it works as well?” Feng Mo Xing was astounded. Even though he was trying his best to calm down, his quivering voice told his real feeling. Clearly, this matter was still something that bothering him.
No matter how much he tried to accept it, it was hard for someone as young as him to be completely calm when he thought of the fact that he would die young. He didn’t even know when, but he knew that he wouldn’t be able to live long.
Those thoughts alone bothered him a lot.
“She said that the effect might be downplayed a bit, but it’ll help you buy more time as long as you take care of your body.” Feng Ao Kuai smiled. “Besides, I come here because I have a request.”
“What is it?” Feng Mo Xing straightened his back. Whatever request Feng Ao Kuai made, he would do his best to fulfill it. Without these two, he would never even had the dream and hope to learn in the academy and possibly graduate to enter the court.
“Become an official as fast as possible.”
