C2 Turnaround
Just like that, a absent-minded teenager sat on a huge rock beside the waterfall.
"Brother Su Lie, you're cultivating again?" Suddenly, an intimate call pulled the youth's thoughts back.
Accompanied by a fragrant wind, a young girl wearing a bright yellow lace dress appeared in front of Su Lie.
The young girl was three years younger than Su Lie. However, her height had already risen and her female characteristics were gradually being revealed. Her face still had a childish look to it, and her pair of large watery eyes were so clear that one could see the bottom of it. Anyone who saw her would feel their worries drift away with the wind.
That little girl was Su Lu, the granddaughter of the Su Clan's elder. To be honest, Su Lu was picked up by the Su family. In the end, the Great Elder took her as his granddaughter and gave her a surname 'Su'.
Su Lie looked at Su Lu and a warm smile appeared on his cold face. He said gently, "Little girl, why are you here?"
"If you want to come, then come!" Su Lu casually replied as she sat beside Su Lie.
"Yeah, I'm afraid no one other than you would want to come and see me, a trash, the shame of the Su Clan."
After Su Lu heard this, she hurriedly said, "Big brother Su Lie, why do you think this way? I have seen your hard work. I can guarantee that no one in the Su Clan will be as hardworking as you. "
"Do you really think so?"
"Of course, I've always thought of Su Lie as the best."
"Maybe!"
After that, the two of them did not speak anymore. There was only a rumbling sound in their ears, and their minds had already drifted far away from each other.
Su Lu's appearance dispelled some of the frustration in his heart and brought him quite a bit of peace. Before the knot in his heart was resolved, how could he obtain true peace in his heart?
From a genius to a waste, this sort of cruel difference had completely become a sore point in his heart. Sometimes, he even didn't want to eat or eat at all, making it difficult for him to sleep through the night.
Therefore, this kind of life, day after day, year after year, was an excruciating torment for him.
No matter how many times he tried, he always wanted to break out of this predicament. Unfortunately, the cruel reality had disappointed him time and time again.
He slept early that night, but not well.
In the dream, the looks full of contempt, the faces full of pride and shame, the words full of insult rushed into his dreams again and again. They kept flashing, like demons trying to destroy his spirit and his will.
The youth's head was covered in sweat, and his body was even trembling slightly. His face was occasionally filled with pain, then with fury, then with viciousness, and finally with brutality and bloodlust …
Finally, the youth could no longer bear the torment and woke up from his dream.
"I'm not trash. Ahh …" After the angry roar, the youth drooped his head as he panted uncontrollably. A terrifying and vicious glint flashed in his eyes from time to time.
After a long while, the ominous glint in the youth's eyes gradually disappeared.
Sigh …
The teenager sat up and fell on the quilt again. He closed his eyes in pain.
Gradually, he seemed to forget everything and once again fell asleep …
At night, the full moon hung in the sky, accompanied only by a few dim stars.
The gentle, resplendent, and somewhat cool moonlight shone through the window of the young man's room, sprinkling specks of silver onto the ground.
The moonlight was thick.
Suddenly, a faint brilliance appeared on the chest of the young man. As time passed, the radiance gradually became thicker. Finally, it transformed into an old man with a long beard and a full face of red light.
The old man extended his hand and slowly refined the moonlight's energy …
The youth did not know about any of this.
As time flew by, the youth started to feel uneasy again, and started to shout out, "I'm not a trash, I'm not a trash, I'm not a disgrace to the Su family … …" It seemed like the devil in the youth's heart was tormenting him again.
"Eh …" When the old man who was absorbing the moonlight saw this, his white brows twitched. With a light wave of his other hand, a milky white light fell towards Su Lie and quickly entered his body.
After a long while, the old man seemed to have absorbed enough energy from the moon and disappeared into his chest, as if he had never appeared. However, the youth's expression had greatly changed, becoming serene and peaceful.
In the morning, Su Lie did not wake up as he usually did.
For the first time, he fell asleep.
For the first time, he did not continue to have nightmares.
In the middle of the night, without a dream, he slept comfortably.
After Su Lie tidied up everything, he began practicing his boxing in the courtyard. He only knew three martial arts, and that was when he was a genius. In order to motivate him to go one step further, the Su Clan had rewarded him with an additional martial arts technique.
"Great Devil Ape Fist", "Great Collapsing Fist", "Violent Jade Palm", he used each of these techniques with ease, acting as if he knew how to grasp each and every one of them and was proficient in them.
If it wasn't for his power being too weak, these fist and palm techniques would have already shone brilliantly in his hands.
Phew...
Su Lie's breath turned into droplets of water.
After practicing all the fist techniques, he was drenched in sweat and steaming hot air.
Remembering his martial arts realm, he shook his head and mumbled to himself with a wry smile: "What is this thing in my hands? It's really a treasure covered in dust!"
"Hahaha …"
"Who?" The laughter that suddenly came scared Su Lie so much that he immediately jumped up. With an extremely nervous expression, he vigilantly surveyed his surroundings. His pitch black eyes shot out a sharp gaze.
"Little fellow, don't be so nervous …"
"Nonsense, how could I not be nervous? Was she trying to scare him to death by making such a sudden noise? You don't know, people are scary, but people scare people to death? " Su Lie felt that it was strange that he hadn't even opened his mouth when he had already spoken. He couldn't help but feel very surprised.
As if she knew his doubts, the old man spoke again with a hoarse voice, "Alright, little fellow, there is no need to be surprised, and there is no need to worry. I won't hurt you, right?"
"Then why did you scare me on purpose?" Su Lie was unwilling to let this go.
"It's nothing. I didn't expect that my carelessness would cause you to misunderstand. I apologize for that. "
"Forget it, I'm already like this. It's no big deal if I'm scared a bit."
"Is this how you do it?"
"What else can we do? I am already fifteen years old, and in another year, I will have my coming of age ceremony. If I don't reach the fifth stage of the Postnatal realm, I will definitely be expelled from the Su Family. "
"What are you afraid of? I can help you. "
"Help me do what? Breaking through the shackles of others? "
"Why? Can't I?"
"Even in my dreams, but the cruel reality is so close to my defense line. I can't hold on any longer, sigh …"
"Actually, that … What should I say? "Say …"
"Stop talking so much nonsense. If you have something to say, quickly say it. If you have to fart, quickly say it. Other people like to talk too much when they are old."
"Actually, there's something I think I should tell you."
"Go on, I'm listening!" Anyway, I have nothing better to do at the moment, so I'll just take it as an answer! "
"Then you must be prepared." At this moment, Su Lie could feel that something was amiss. He could even feel the seriousness in the old man's tone.
"Speak, I'm already mentally prepared."
"Alright, I'll be honest."
"Speak!"
"About that, you have to stay calm, I said it!"
"Speak!"
"I think I should ask you this. Are you really mentally prepared?"
"Fine, I'll endure."
"Alright, I've said it. You have to listen carefully."
"Speak."
"I... "About that, let me ask again with certainty …"
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Su Lie was about to have a mental problem from being tortured by this chatty guy.
