Chapter 151 (1/2)

151 – Seven realms of cultivation!

“Ah?” Li Muyang’s eye sprung wide open in surprise, looking at Xiahou Qianbai as he asked: “Teacher Xiahou, what are you talking about? What killing countless desert bandits and wiping out their family by myself–When did I do that? I know teacher Xiahou would laugh at me but before I was enrolled into Starry Sky, I was just a very average student in Jiangnan City. I was constantly sick and affected with all kinds of illnesses. Teachers looked down on me and students bullied me. At that time, I had not even killed a chicken before, let alone those evil, cruel and inhuman desert bandits–Teacher Xiahou, have you gotten mistaken with the wrong person?”

“You don’t remember what happened? How would you know desert bandits are evil, cruel, and inhuman?” Xiahou Qianbai’s lips curved into a faint smile, thinking to himself: boy, you want to challenge me, you’re still too young.

He stared at Li Muyang severely, saying: “you had came into contact with desert bandits some other time?”

Li Muyang’s heart let out a shudder, knowing that his acting was far too exaggerated. Xiaohou Qianbai had managed to find the inconsistency in his story.

Trying to appear composed, he said calmly: “Teacher Xiahou, so, I have a friend called Yan Xiangma, he’s a young master in Jiangnan City. He’s knowledgeable and dedicates himself to the service of the country. He often said to me that the nomads of the gra.s.slands, desert bandits, rebels of Wuchang Mountain and Dawu’s army at the frontier are the four biggest pests of the kingdom. Moreover, he often told me about the vile acts of the four pests, so I also know a little. I have strong hatred towards them. I hoped that I could also be like the strong people of Starry Sky and behead millions at once. Teacher Xiahou mentioned desert bandits just now so I added that they are evil, cruel and inhuman—which are also what my friend Yan Xiangma told me. If teacher Xiahou don’t believe me then you can go find Yan Xiangman and ask him.”

Xiahou Qianbai pensively surveyed Li Muyang’s face, his thick, black sword-like brows gently screwed up. “You don’t remember anything?”

“Teacher Xiahou, I’m really sorry–I didn’t mean to forget, I really don’t know what happened.” Li Muyang said pulling an apologetic face. “I only remember I entered the land of Nameless Mountain, but what happened after, I don’t remember at all. When I woke up, I was already lying at the peak of Nameless Mountain. An older brother named He An brought me to registration, where I also fatefully met teacher Xiahou, and because I was once attracted by Teacher Xiahou’s confident and aloof temperament, I had to enrol in the subject teacher Xiahou is responsible for—”

Xiahou Qianbai pondered for a moment before he said: “Li Muyang, what is your objective of coming to Starry Sky?”

“Objective?” Li Muyang looked off into the distance in deep thought; he could not reach a definite answer in this short while.

It was an unfathomable mystery how he was admitted into Starry Sky Academy when he knew nothing about Starry Sky Academy. On his way to register into the school he clashed with Cui Zhaoren and was chased by countless people along his way–

Now he was asked what is his purpose of coming here. His first response was stay alive and keep his family safe.

However, when he first decided to come to Starry Sky Academy, that was not his objective–There must be some other reason.

To change his fate, become someone who would be treated equally and not be bullied, and not be a trash that girls are

afraid to talk to in case others would see them.

Or chase his dream, become a strong person of Starry Sky that millions of people would look up to or a superhero whose name would be read with admiration by storytellers all over the world.

This should be his purpose of coming to Starry Sky Academy, right?

Li Muyang’s eyes were resolute as he raised his head and looked Xiahou Qianbai in the eye, saying: “I want to be stronger.”

It’s only when he’s stronger that he could protect his family and change his fate.

It’s only when he’s stronger that he would have the right and opportunity to choose–He can choose to live an ordinary life, or choose to kill phoenix and slay dragons—-no wait, kill phoenix and protect dragons, and be a famous person of Starry Sky.

Strong people can choose, while weak people can only accept.
