After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 940:

Seal Spirit Robb, swam to the shore, and then with a snap, transformed back into the appearance of a handsome young man with golden hair.

At this moment, Boning Port was still shrouded in the night. Robb and the Eighteen Divinations had just engaged in a battle on the sea, and no one had witnessed it. When the people of Boning Port woke up the next day, they would only find that three Western-style large sailing ships that had been anchored in the harbor had quietly left. They would have no idea of what had actually transpired.

However, rumors about this incident had already spread through the members of the Eighteen Divinations who were fortunate enough to escape.

It was strange that in an era without modern communication devices, rumors spread incredibly fast in the martial world. Whatever anyone did in the martial world, it would immediately become known to martial artists all over the world. It was truly a phenomenon that defied explanation, perhaps attributed to the mysterious powers of the East.

Three days later, on the official road leading from Ningbo Port to East Hangzhou, Robb was sitting in a carriage, swaying lazily.

The carriage was not luxurious because in those days, luxurious carriages were the private vehicles of the wealthy. Carriages willing to carry strangers were typically very ordinary, driven by common coachmen, and the carriages themselves were quite shabby. Robb couldnt be bothered to travel using his flying skills, so he had no choice but to hire a shabby carriage. He bought several bags of Tang-style pastries and snacks, filling the entire carriage. He ate, slept, and advanced toward Hangzhou while moving slowly.

The carriage didnt move very fast because it was so shabby. Robb didnt like the jolting ride, so he had to ask the coachman to slow down. As a result, although the shabby carriage had left Boning Port three days ago, it hadnt traveled very far.

On this sunny noon, as the carriage was slowly passing by a pedestrian, Robb noticed that the pedestrian had the head of a rabbit but the body of a female rabbit. Her body was well-defined, clearly outlined by her tight clothing. If it werent for the rabbits head, and instead, a human one, she would have been considered a great beauty.

As the carriage slowly passed by this rabbit woman, she suddenly spoke to the coachman, Master, where is this carriage headed?

The coachman smiled and replied, Carriages traveling on this road are naturally headed to East Hangzhou. Besides there, where else could we be going?

The rabbit woman furrowed her brow at the response and turned to look at the carriage. She raised her voice and asked, Passenger inside the carriage, would you mind having another traveler? Im willing to share the travel expenses, or I can even pay for the fare myself.

Robbs head popped out of the window with a swish and he smiled, Come on in! Its good to help others, and it brings joy to oneself. You dont need to share the fare.

Saying this, Robb suddenly thought of something and pulled out a small piece of silver from his pocket, tossing it to the coachman with a clink, This carriage is pulled by horses, carrying one more person will make it work harder. Use this money to buy some extra feed for the horses.

The coachman chuckled, You, foreign gentleman, have a kind heart.

The rabbit woman gave Robb a deep look, clasped her fists, and said, Thank you! With that, she swayed and pushed aside the curtain, jumping into the carriage.

Not getting into the carriage, she had no idea what was inside. But once inside, she was taken aback. The carriage was filled with all sorts of snacks. The Westerner with golden hair was holding a piece of osmanthus cake, savoring it with relish.

The rabbit woman wanted to comment on this scene, but martial artists didnt like to talk much with ordinary people. After clasping her fists in gratitude, she settled in a corner and carefully moved the bag of snacks beside her a little.

Robb waved to her without saying a word, and thats how it stayed, awkwardly silent.

Only the carriage continued to sway slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, the rabbit woman spoke, Master, cant you drive this carriage any faster? I have urgent business in East Hanzhou, and with this slow swaying, Im afraid I might miss something important.

The coachman, with an embarrassed smile, replied, Im sorry, Miss, but the speed of this carriage was determined by the gentleman inside.

As soon as these words were spoken, the rabbit womans gaze locked onto Robbs face.

Robb smiled at her and said, Dont look at me like that. Whatever you say, I wont make this carriage go any faster.

The rabbit woman remarked with a strange tone, You, sir, seem to be from the West, and youre leisurely snacking while driving slowly. You dont appear to be in a hurry.

Robb chuckled, No, no, no, Im extremely pressed for time. Im not leisurely at all.

The rabbit woman used a peculiar tone, With your current pace, you still claim to be in a hurry?

Robb smiled, Time is indeed tight, but this carriages wheels dont have rubber tires. If we go too fast, itll be very bumpy. Im afraid my old bones will be shaken apart. So, we have to go slowly. Look, the carriage moves so slowly that it doesnt feel very bumpy, right?

The rabbit woman hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then suddenly realized, Just some bumps can be overcome with willpower, right? For the sake of important matters, cant we endure a little hardship?

Robb lazily replied, Having a tight schedule is a distant goal, but a bumpy ride is an immediate concern. People should learn to prioritize the present before thinking about distant goals. So, Id rather travel slowly without the bumps, rather than hurry for that distant goal.

The rabbit woman was almost infuriated, saying, This is a bit unreasonable. Theres a saying that goes: Ones vision should be far-reaching, and they must be willing to sacrifice immediate comfort and ease for distant goals. To endure hardship and strive for greatness. How can you give up a grand goal for the sake of immediate comfort? You, Westerner, are really unreasonable.

Robb chuckled and asked, I have a question for you. Does the world have a person named Li Bai?

The rabbit woman replied, Yes! Li Bai, a great swordsman, poet, and wine immortal from hundreds of years ago, is a renowned figure in our history, excelling in both martial and literary arts.

Robb chuckled inwardly, thinking he had the right reference. He then said seriously, Since theres Li Bai, its quite simple. I must remind you that what youre talking about is pseudo-intellectualism. The true scholar and wine immortal, Li Bai, once said, In the height of their youth, people should enjoy life to the fullest and not waste the golden goblet on an empty moon. Do you understand what that means? It implies that one should prioritize present enjoyment and not squander the good times of the moment. As for lofty future goals, who cares about them?

The rabbit woman remained silent.

Robb continued, Do you know the other quote? The one encouraging people to endure hardships now and strive for the future? Which Li Bai is the wise one here? Lets dissect this wisdom a bit.

The rabbit woman remained speechless.

She flopped down in the carriage, dejected, and thought, Damn it! I just lost a debate about ancient poetry to a Westerner with golden hair. Is there no justice left in this world?
