Chapter 347: The Person Entering the Human Realm (Part Three)
Eldest Brother did not understand the word ”fudging”, but Ning Que had become full of sorrow and pain due to Eldest Brother's fudge. A rush of malevolence was born in his heart. To vent his dissatisfaction, he was dying to steal the tall hat from Second Brother's head and then directly knock Eldest Brother out.
Ning Que thought, ”You and the Headmaster of the Academy traveled around the world the entire time, and the other guys on the back of the mountain were also engaged in their own hobbies like playing the flute, admiring flowers, and playing chess. All of you were living such happy lives. However, I, the youngest student in the back of the mountain, had to suffer from fighting with those challenges in the secular world. Why would that be so? Now it could be a.s.sumed that both the Academy's decision of changing the practice to the journey in the Wilderness and his thrilling inheritance of Youngest Uncle's strength in the Devil's Doctrine mountain...”
Ning Que resentfully shouted, ”It's a trap!”
Eldest Brother said with a laugh, ”Why would you say that it's a trap?”
Ning Que angrily said, ”Why should the person entering the Human Realm be me, rather than other Senior Brothers or Senior Sisters?”
Eldest Brother sighed and said sincerely, ”You also know that the other people in the back of the mountain just wander around the mountain and are crazy about flutes, books, paintings, ironwork, and Talisman Taoism. It's really unsuitable to ask them to enter the Human Realm because they're totally ignorant of worldly affairs and are as naive as children. If we insist on it, I'm afraid they would come back with severe injuries and tears in less than two days.”
”How about Second Brother? He's so mighty.”
”As for Jun Mo, he looks upright and reasonable, but his disposition of a gentleman is too obvious. Besides, he's incapable of dealing with something ostensible, so it's easy to be cornered by other people. His character is really a little...”
At that, Eldest Brother paused for a while and then said with a smile, ”A little rash. What's more, he has been admiring Youngest Uncle very much all the time. If he enters the Human Realm, perhaps there will be many b.l.o.o.d.y cases in Chang'an.”
Ning Que continued asking, ”What about Chen Pipi? He's the youngest Knowing Destiny State cultivator. If he's selected as the representative of the Academy, it definitely will frighten those people who want to challenge the Academy. Thus, he's much more suitable than me.”
”It's unsuitable for Chen Pipi to fight for the Academy due to his special family background.” Eldest Brother looked at Ning Que and said, ”But, Younger Brother, you are different, you have experienced a lot of worldly things. I think you must be totally different from us who spend most of our time living on the back of the mountain. Therefore, you're the most suitable one to enter the Human Realm. It's also a kind of a Lucky Chance, like what I mentioned in the Wilderness.”
”Don't talk this nonsense.”
Ning Que said angrily, ”After listening to everything you said, I have eventually understood Senior Brother's main idea. You just mean that I've experienced and witnessed many occasions of life and death, and that my fighting experience is rich. What's more, unlike other innocent Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, my heart has been polluted by dirty water for so many years and has already become very insidious. Also, unlike the frank Second Brother, I'm sly and shameless enough to make a concession no matter what things I encounter. Above all, I don't have such a firm and special background as Chen Pipi's.”
”What you say is indeed true, but it really isn't the way that I think. Besides, the thing isn't as troublesome as you think,” Eldest Brother said honestly, but he did not know that his honesty had actually caused secondary damage to Ning Que.
”Youngest Uncle was also once in your position. Back then, he entered Chang'an on his little black donkey and then defeated 37 mighty cultivators. Who had he been afraid of?”
None of Ning Que's ambition had been inspired by Eldest Brother's words. Compared with that legendary Youngest Uncle, who destroyed the Devil's Doctrine with a sword, Ning Que thought he was nothing at all at present, so he had no confidence to cause a stir.
Suddenly, he thought of an idea and then asked, ”Will the Academy give me a hand if the enemy is very powerful?”
Eldest Brother said carefully, ”If the opponent invites you to a duel in a correct manner, the Academy won't help you because it will lose too much face.”
Ning Que said in surprise, ”If the Sage of Sword Liu Bai challenges me, I have to fight against him?”
Eldest Brother consoled him, ”He also can't afford to lose so much face... In
In my opinion, the people who will challenge you in Chang'an in the next few years will be mostly young cultivators. However, there are a lot of mighty and secret people in many cultivation sects. Though your progress is very fast, your state isn't high enough due to your late beginning, so you still need to be cautious.”
”Senior Brother, you know my state is still low, so your words really make me feel awkward.”
”No need to worry, because states increase from low to high.”
”In the Wilderness, those people were frightened like quails and didn't dare to challenge me when they knew I was a student of the Second Floor of the Academy. However, why do they dare to challenge me when I enter the Human Realm?”
