Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

Yun Feidu was in a bad mood today, especially after seeing his master praising his younger brother Yun Pudu, his mood became even worse.

He also knew that he shouldn't be jealous of his younger brother, but for some reason, ever since he was ranked lower than his younger brother on the hero list, he began to secretly compete with his younger brother.

From his cultivation strength to the management of the sect, and even in his interpersonal relationships, he secretly competed with Yun Pu Du.

In fact, it’s not Yun Feidu’s fault. As the elder brother, Yun Feidu has always been one step ahead of Yun Pudu in everything.

But the hero list from ten years ago made him doubt his own ability, and even wavered in his belief that he could always beat Yun Pu Du.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the one praised, and even his younger brother admired him. But now, he feels that everyone is laughing at him, laughing at him for not being as good as his younger brother.

Yan Wenmo's actions today unconsciously deepened some of his cognitions, which made him feel even more irritated.

Because it was almost noon, Yun Pudu went to prepare the meal. After all, he knew that Yan Wenmo had not yet started his fast, and Yun Feidu seemed to think that something bad might happen if he stayed any longer, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Seeing him like this, Yan Wenmo was surprised, but Jiang Wenbai whispered in her ear for a while. Yan Wenmo nodded in understanding, and then said:

"You have nothing to do, why don't you accompany me for a walk?!"

Yun Feidu wanted to refuse, but when he saw Yan Wenmo's eyes that refused to accept, he swallowed his words of refusal.

In order to take Yun Feidu's emotions into consideration, Yan Wenmo did not let Jiang Wenbai follow him. Instead, he took Yun Feidu to the highest attic of the White Horse Temple.

The two of them walked very slowly. Yun Feidu kept resisting the urge to rush up to the attic and walked behind Yan Wenmo. Yan Wenmo clearly noticed his thoughts but pretended not to know and walked slowly instead.

It took them an incense stick of time to reach the top of the attic. The view there was broad and the scenery was beautiful. Occasionally, a breeze blew through their clothes, making them rustle.

Yan Wenmo looked at the scenery in the distance, stared at it for a while, and then asked Xiang Yunfeidu:

"What do you see?!"

Yun Feidu glanced at it randomly, and then said perfunctorily:

"Loft, view"

Yan Wenmo didn't get angry when he heard this, but asked again:

"What do you see?!"

Yun Feidu looked around carefully, and then said seriously:

"Attic, wind, clouds, sun, trees, flowers, houses"

Yan Wenmo still seemed dissatisfied and continued to ask:

"What do you see?!"

Yun Feidu frowned, somewhat puzzled. He looked at it carefully for a long time, pondered for a long time, and then asked doubtfully:

"Master, these are the things?!"

Yan Wenmo smiled lightly, then shook his head and said seriously:

"Let the flowers be flowers, let the trees be trees, and let you be you"

Yun Feidu was stunned by what she said, and looked at Yan Wenmo in confusion. He wanted to speak, but seemed to remember something, and said in a depressed and self-deprecating tone:

"Master, have you noticed?! I know that it's wrong for me to behave like this, but... I am indeed jealous of my brother. I am jealous that my brother is better than me, and that he is liked by so many people."

Seeing Yun Feidu's self-deprecating expression, Yan Wenmo did not feel complacent about it. Instead, he said:

"You think he is better than you in every way because he has better talent, better skills, better personality, and better in every way."

After Yan Wenmo exposed his secrets, Yun Feidu looked even more gloomy, and then he said in a low voice:

"Sure enough, Master also thinks so, that my younger brother is better than me."

Regarding Yun Feidu's loneliness, Yan Wenmo smiled helplessly and said:

"This is normal. You envy him, you are jealous of him, you think he is better than you, all of this is normal. Just like when I was a servant, I also thought about how awesome it would be if I were his disciple! By then, I'm afraid your uncle Ouyang wouldn't dare to yell at me."

Seeing Yan Wenmo talking about the past, Yun Feidu was stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly asked:

"Master... have you ever been jealous of Uncle Ouyang?! He doesn't seem to have anything to be jealous of, right?!"

Yun Feidu spoke frankly. Yan Wenmo looked at him with amusement, and then continued to talk to himself:

"Your Uncle Ouyang is indeed not outstanding in every aspect, but there is one thing that makes him better than you and me. He does not envy others, and he is very satisfied with himself."

At this point, she looked at Yun Feidu and said meaningfully:

"Because he is very satisfied with himself, he does not envy others' achievements, nor does he think that others are better than him in every way and want to become them just because they are stronger than him."

Seeing Yan Wenmo's serious expression, Yun Feidu was still a little hesitant. He looked at Yan Wenmo aggrievedly and couldn't help complaining:

"Then why is my brother's name higher than mine on the hero list? Others praise him more than I do. They all..."

He kept on talking a lot about what others said about Yun Pudu. Looking at his almost paranoid expression, Yan Wenmo knew that this kid had an unresolved knot in his heart, which added to his confusion, to the point that he actually developed a demonic barrier.

In this case, as his master, what she should do now is to enlighten him, not to comfort him. Thinking of this, she looked at Yun Feidu and couldn't help asking:

"They all praised your brother, didn't they praise you?!"

Yun Feidu was startled by what she said, and stared at Yan Wenmo blankly with an extremely puzzled expression. Yan Wenmo asked him again, saying:

"Did they really never praise you?!"

Yun Feidu still looked at Yan Wenmo's serious expression, and inexplicably began to feel guilty. He hesitated for a moment, and then whispered in a very shy voice:

“Yes, there is, but…”

Before Yun Feidu finished speaking, Yan Wenmo interrupted him and said stubbornly:

"That's right. If so, why do you only focus on the words others use to praise your brother instead of the words others use to praise you?!"

These words left Yun Feidu speechless for a moment. He stared at Yan Wenmo blankly and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, as if he had figured something out, he murmured to himself, half confused and half enlightened:

"I only focus on my younger brother. If I focus on my younger brother, he cannot take care of myself. If he cannot take care of me, he will ignore me. If he ignores me, I will think my younger brother is good. If I think my younger brother is good, I will want to become my younger brother. If I become my younger brother, I will no longer be myself."

At this point, he looked at Yan Wenmo with a look of enlightenment, and said with a burning gaze:

"I am not myself, the flower is not a flower, the tree is not a tree. This is not in accordance with the law, so I have not made any progress. The reason why I have not made any progress is not because I am not talented enough, not because my skills are not strong enough, but because I do not want to become myself."

Seeing how clear-headed he was, Yan Wenmo couldn't help but nodded, and said with great satisfaction:

"That's why flowers can't turn into trees, clouds can't turn into the sun, and you can't turn into your brother."

After saying this, she patted Yun Feidu's shoulder encouragingly, and said with sincerity and expectation:

"No matter how outstanding your brother is, that is his path. It has nothing to do with the path you want to take. You don't have to want to be him just because he is better than you in every way, because you are you. No matter how strong or weak you are, you are irreplaceable and unique."

It seemed that Yun Feidu was hearing such remarks for the first time, so he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. His eyes changed from astonishment to shock, then to surprise, then to contemplation, and finally to determination and determination.

Since the Master said to let the flowers be flowers and the trees be trees, let him be his unique self.

Then, he should focus on his own affairs instead of competing with his brother secretly. This is not only useless, but also against the rules and even hinders his practice. Since he has his own path, why should he compete with his brother? They are walking different paths, so why should they compare with each other? !
