```
After such a lively day had passed, the double cultivation ceremony had finally come to an end.
By this time, the guests who came to show their support were also leaving one after another, bid farewell by the newlywed couple.
When all the guests had left, Zhou Chun took Su Yuzhen back to his own courtyard.
However, once they reached the entrance to the courtyard, Su Yuzhen didn't follow him inside.
"Madam, what are you looking at? Why don't you go in?"
Zhou Chun turned around, looking at her with confusion, and asked.
Hearing this, Su Yuzhen looked up at him, then spoke in a low voice, "Will I continue to live in the same room as before?"
"Madam jests. Since we are now Dao companions, we should of course share a room and a bed from now on!"
As Zhou Chun spoke, he reached out to hold her hand and walked together toward his bedroom.
And Su Yuzhen was led into the bedroom by him, somewhat dazed, until they reached the bed, she still seemed a bit out of sorts.
She was clearly aware of how much Zhou Chun had resisted becoming Dao companions with her before.
She was also crystal clear about why Zhou Chun had agreed to become Dao companions with her this time.
So, in fact, she didn't feel much joy over it, only that it was hard to refuse the good intentions of the Ancestor of the Su Family.
Yet, the change in Zhou Chun now took her by surprise.
She couldn't understand why Zhou Chun had changed so quickly all of a sudden.
Could it really be as the Ancestor of the Su Family had said, that he had come to a realization?
"What is Madam thinking about? Do you have any doubts in your heart?"
In the bedroom, Zhou Chun looked at the Su Yuzhen, who was sitting blankly on the bed, and softly voiced his question.
Since he had asked, Su Yuzhen didn't hold back any longer.
She immediately said, "I'm wondering why you've changed so much? If it's just to please me for the sake of showing the Ancestor, I think you needn't bother. The Ancestor always keeps his word, and since he has promised to help the Zhou Family through this crisis, he will definitely not go back on his word!"
When Zhou Chun heard her words, he was also slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "Madam misunderstands. I have never had any aversion to you, it's just that previously I did not have any particular affection for you, that's all!"
"Now that we have come to this point, and we have become true Dao companions, how could I irresponsibly leave you alone to keep an empty bed?"
With that, Zhou Chun couldn't help but take Su Yuzhen's delicate hand, looked at her earnestly, and said, "Let the past be in the past. From now on, we will start anew and strive to, as the Ancestor said, gradually develop affection and love each other for a lifetime!"
Listening to his sincere words, seeing his serious expression, and feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Su Yuzhen's previously calm face began to show ripples of emotion.
She didn't know why Zhou Chun had come to terms with it so quickly, but it was undoubtedly a good thing.
Immediately, she also couldn't help but lean her head against Zhou Chun's shoulder and said, "I understand. I will try my best to make you fall in love with me!"
It was evident that Zhou Chun had grown.
This growth wasn't physical or related to his cultivation level, but rather a psychological growth.
External pressures had forced him to undergo a transformation in his mindset.
He had come to truly understand how to live well in this world.
This method was known to many cultivators from the Zhou Family who were barely in their teens.
He knew it before as well.
But due to the influence of past life principles and character, he knew it but couldn't do it.
In this world, cultivators must learn to seize every opportunity that benefits them, whether it's improving their cultivation level or social status.
Moreover, one should never resist the favors bestowed by the strong.
```
Whether you like that benefit or not.
Don't worship the strong, but you must build good relationships with the strong and gain their protection.
Because in this cruel Cultivation World, those who lack the protection of the strong often become stepping stones for others.
Zhou Chun's biggest mistake was that he believed even without becoming Dao companions with Su Yuzhen and without the Su Family's help, the Zhou Family could still develop steadily and rapidly.
He overlooked a very important point: this world is not a society governed by law; the strong can plunder the weak without even a poor excuse.
And after being plundered, it's very difficult for the weak to find someone to uphold justice for them and recover their losses.
People always say, "It's better to depend on oneself than others."
But in reality, those who only rely on themselves pay a much greater price and take much more time to reach the top compared to those with backers.
Bluntly put, those who chant "It's better to depend on oneself than others" are often those who have no one to rely on.
Those who do have true support seldom proudly shout out these words; they may even disdain such a saying.
Zhou Chun's mistake lay in not adjusting his mindset, continuing to see himself as an ordinary person with no support and not seeking protection for himself.
He even always felt that, with his own abilities, he didn't need any support to lead the Zhou Family to restore its glory and revive the might of a Golden Core family.
This is undoubtedly a very dangerous way of thinking!
The Cultivation World is so dangerous. The strong can take lives without reason on a whim, and the weak, without support, are not masters of their own fate once they encounter such strong individuals.
If Zhou Chun wanted to live well in this world, to lead the Zhou Family to regain its honor, to go further on the path of Cultivation, to see the highest scenery of this world,
Then he must discard those ideas and philosophies from his past life that are of no benefit to his survival in this world and must reform himself.
Only by doing so, will he no longer miss more opportunities or create more trouble for himself.
Perhaps he should also thank the Ancestor of the Su Family, who taught him a lesson with cruel reality.
And he should be grateful for Zhou Mingde's repeated advice and coercion, which forced him to transform himself.
The changes in Zhou Chun were quickly noticed by Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi.
Upon seeing Zhou Chun's uncontrived company with Su Yuzhen within the family and the absence of any awkward tone in his conversations, both elders knew that he had come to understand.
"Zhengchun is indeed a clever child. After this incident, his actions will definitely become smoother and more reassuring!" Zhou Mingde couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile, truly happy.
However, Zhou Daoyi did not share his happiness, instead sighing lightly, "Ah, it's really hard on him!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde's smile momentarily faded, and he frowned, saying, "I really didn't want to make it difficult for him, but who asked him to sit in that position, and only he could solve the issue!"
After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Daoyi and slowly said, "This time, it was through Zhengchun's sacrifice that the family weathered the crisis. But as the family's power grows, we will face stronger enemies. The Ancestor of the Su Family can help the family once, but can't always help with every matter!"
"Since even Zhengchun can compromise for the family's sake, Daoyi, shouldn't you also make some changes, forget the unpleasant past, and for the family, and for yourself, personally invite Lin Hongyu to join the Zhou Family?"
Zhou Daoyi's complexion instantly stiffened, and he was speechless for a long time.
Seeing him standing silent for so long, Zhou Mingde continued, "I can force Zhengchun, but I can't force you anymore, Daoyi. However, I hope you will seriously consider this matter."
"Since the family has already decided to let Lin Hongyu mine the Earth Origin Crystal Jade in Yang Kingdom, it would be better to settle this before she leaves for Yang Kingdom than to bring up the matter after she has formed her Golden Core!" Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"If you can't resolve your differences before she forms her Golden Core, and she actually succeeds in Core Formation, your current thoughts, Daoyi, will only bring you greater humiliation!"
Perhaps these words truly struck a chord in Zhou Daoyi, causing his complexion to turn much uglier.
Upon seeing the change in his expression, Zhou Mingde shook his head and said, "That's all I have to say, Daoyi. Think it over carefully during this time; there's not much time left for you!"
After finishing, he left alone.
