Chapter 9 (1/2)

Hi everyone! Please check out the Come for a chat, ask questions, or just have fun~

Well, guys. The event is over. The chapters will be released at regular schedule in January. For now, it's a 2 week vacation. 3 more chapters left for the month.

”Eh…Senior, why are you looking at me like this?” Su Yu asked with puzzlement.

Hearing that question, the old beggar's expression immediately turned even stranger. ”I say, what are you thinking about? You sometimes randomly shake your head, nod your head; your eyes would sometimes s.h.i.+ne,or your expression becomes gloomy. It can't be that you were beaten silly from the previous fight?”

Su Yu rolled his eyes and helplessly said, ”Senior, please do not make fun of this junior. Oh right, previously, if it wasn't for senior's help of upholding justice, junior would have lost his little life.” After saying this, Su Yu then struggled to stand up before bowing. ”Many thanks to senior for saving junior's life. If senior needs junior's help, junior will definitely go through water and tread on fire with no hesitation.” Su Yu thanked him.

”Qiè!”

The old beggar laughed with disdain and shot a glance at Su Yu before he said, ”An ordinary person who has never cultivated before, what can you even help me with? Even if I needed you to help me with something, do you have the capability of doing so?”

The old beggar's words were without a doubt filled with contempt. Usually when those words were spoken, normally that contempt would cause a person to be angered, and they would secretly say something like, 'How can you look down on people?'

However, Su Yu did not do that.

The reason was that he was actually waiting for the old beggar to say that sentence. As the Old Beggar said as such, Su Yu instantly revealed an expression of him acknowledging the old man's words, then he spoke as he nodded, ”What senior said is true. Hence I'm thinking that it would be great if I can cultivate and become a powerful cultivator like senior. Like this, I would then be able to repay senior's help for saving me. When that time comes, I would also be able to help senior a little…”

Hearing that, the old beggar went silent, but his expression was calm as he looked at Su Yu.

When Su Yu was being stared at by the old beggar, his heart suddenly felt a trace of chill. He forced a dry laugh then said, ”What? Senior, why are you staring at me? I really want to repay your help for saving me, yet the current me has the heart but not the strength ah.”

The old beggar shot Su Yu another glance then said, ”So, is this the reason for why you had followed me for nearly a day? This old man advises you to keep that little inclination to yourself. This old man has already lived for around 100 years; if I couldn't even make out the hidden meaning behind your words, then wouldn't I have lived those 100 years in vain?”

”Eh…”

The old beggar's response instantly caused Su Yu to be at loss for words.

Immediately afterward, his expression turned resolute. He slowly walked towards the old beggar and respectfully bowed to him, ”This junior's name is Su Yu. Junior humbly requests senior to guide me through the gate.”

”What gate?”

”The gateway to cultivation.”

”Scram!”

Well, the moment the old beggar gave his answer, Su Yu instantly felt his heart was inflicted with 10,000 points of damage. Although he had already guessed that the end result would be like this, there was still a strong feeling of disappointment in his heart.

”If you see cultivation as eating and think you can cultivate whenever you want, if so then the billions upon billions of people in Endless Continent would already be cultivators. Yet why does the number of cultivators not even reach 1/10,000,000th of the population? I say you were beaten silly. You still won't believe, really such a little fool.” The old beggar didn't even look at Su Yu before continuing, ”Even if you have the apt.i.tude to cultivate, why would I guide you? On what basis are you worthy for me to guide you? Little fellow, you shouldn't forget that it was me who had saved your life. After the rain stops, you can leave. There won't be the slightest use or benefit in you following a beggar like me.”

Though the old man's words caused Su Yu to feel extremely hurt inside, his expression was still unusually calm. After all, what the old man had said was reasonable. The old man had saved his life, yet he could not repay him. The old beggar also naturally had no obligation to guide him. What's more, the most crucial point was whether he had the apt.i.tude to cultivate.

Thinking till here, Su Yu still felt somewhat unwilling as he didn't want to give up.
