Chapter 21 (2/2)

”I know that Grannie climbed the Heaven Ascending Stairs while carrying me.” As Li Xinmei spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and they fell. She still wanted to force herself to hold back. However, it was like an opened dam. No matter what she did, she couldn't stop the flow.

”Wow, a freaking old woman like you actually carried someone up the Heaven Ascending Stairs?”

Back then, she was probably only at the First Stage of Qi Condensation? However, her personality was quite firm and persistent, like me, Liu Feizhou said in his heart. He finally discovered a teeny merit that the old woman had.

”The past is all past, just being concerned about the future is enough. Right now, you've already bowed and acknowledged Ning Xuzi as your master so you have to cultivate properly to fiercely slap those two little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds' faces.” Su Tingyun didn't like Xu Wei and Zhang Zhizi at all. When she imagined those two's dumbstruck and endlessly regretful faces in their future encounter, she felt especially refreshed. As expected, everyone likes refres.h.i.+ng storylines. In the past, when she read novels, she also liked counterattacking cannon fodders! Right now, wasn't it right in front of her?

Li Xinmei froze for a moment before saying, ”Alright, Grannie.”

”What little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?” The Liu Feizhou that was getting addicted to openly eavesdropping and felt unwilling to leave couldn't help himself from asking this.

”Those two little kids that stole our spirit stones to register ah.”

Originally, Liu Feizhou was still listening pretty happily. However, now, his brows furrowed again. ”I just praised you for having a little determination, but now you're being so narrow-minded again. Cultivating properly is for the sake of seeking the Great Way. (Something like the flow of the universe.) Is it worth it for you to keep being concerned about two ants that aren't even worth mentioning?”

Su Tingyun was just a common person. She was happy to be a common person. If Liu Feizhou was truly only concerned about seeking the Great Way like he said, what need did he have to compete with his own fellow disciples? What a hypocrite.

”Once you get stronger, you have find those people that s.n.a.t.c.hed our Ghost-Faced Pig and get revenge as well. And there was also a lady that gave you three pills to treat your injury. Revenge must be repaid, but you also can't forget grace.” Su Tingyun didn't have anyone to talk to during this period of time and even ended up rambling on to the Purple Costus Roots for a long time. Since she finally got the chance to see someone familiar after a long time, she definitely had to have a good long chat.

”En.” Li Xinmei still nodded and her lips were slightly hooked in a smile. However, her tears still didn't stop.

She didn't have the chance to take revenge anymore.

At most, her cultivation can only reach the Spirit Condensation Stage. There was no chance to advance beyond that. Li Xinmei bit her lips tightly and tried her best to keep herself from sobbing. However, unexpectedly, Liu Feizhou, who was at the side, humphed again. ”Of the two of you, one of you has abnormally terrible apt.i.tude, to the point that you've barely only made it to the Spirit Condensation Stage after taking an entire bottle of pills. To advance in the future would be harder than climbing to heaven. On the other hand, one of you has really good apt.i.tude. However, your path to cultivating in the Great Way has been broken off due to the injury your meridians received. Your cultivation limit will be at the Spirit Condensation Stage, so where does your confidence come from? To say that after you get stronger you'll slap other people's faces to take revenge?”

The exchange between this pair of old and young was extremely laughable. However, that fake smile caused Liu Feizhou to feel uncomfortable so he couldn't stop himself from breaking that facade. It was just that, right after he spoke, he saw the stunned expressions on the two. Liu Feizhou suddenly had a strange feeling as if his heart had been stabbed.

There were too little sincere feelings in this world.

As cultivation resources became more and more scarce, it caused some friends.h.i.+ps to be even rarer than celestial items and precious artifacts. Although he snorted disdainfully at it, he also once secretly envied it. If when he was bullied, if when he was trampled on by others, at his most hesitant and helpless moments, there was such a person to comfort him? Would he have turned out different?

He has always been described as a person with a poisonous mouth and a black heart. Even his fellow brother disciples said that he couldn't control his mouth. Yet he still didn't care since he was telling nothing but the truth. However, at this time, Liu Feizhou felt a trace of regret for the first time after speaking. He turned his head away. His long eyelashes that were fluttering nonstop showed that Liu Feizhou's mood was a little unstable.

He would blink whenever he felt uncomfortable. This habit is way too much, even he himself couldn't stand it.

After hearing what Liu Feizhou said, Su Tingyun turned stiff.

The person with abnormally terrible apt.i.tude was her. Li Xinmei did have a hidden ailment, but didn't she say that her Master really favored her and in the future she would have boundless prospects? That in the future she would help make the Array Sect even more famous? Why would her cultivation limit be at the Spirit Condensation Stage?
