Chapter 1 (2/2)

“Don’t… Don’t kill me! Don’t…!” Wang Hu burst out several bitter cries and passed out on the spot.

All of them were shocked.

“What… What did you do?” Fan Wen screamed at Yun Shu.

“How do I know?” Yun Shu was the same as others: confused.

Recalling the feeling of the warm energy flowing in his left palm, Yun Shu slightly frowned.

Zhang Bao hurriedly responded and checked up Wang Hu. After a short while, he looked up at Fan Wen and stammered, “Senior Brother Fan, Wang Hu’s Qi isn’t flowing properly. He… He’s suffering from a Qi Deviation!”

“What? Send him to Master!” Fan Wen frowned.

After Zhang Bao pulled Wang Hu out of the room, Fan Wen turned around and said to Yun Shu coldly, “Don’t celebrate too soon. The test isn’t done yet.”

Fan Wen drew his sword.

Yun Shu’s heart immediately sank at this; Fan Wen’s cultivation level was much higher than Wang Hu’s.

“That’s enough!”

An old voice came from the outside.

It was Yun Wanli, standing behind the doorsill with a broom in his hand.

Fan Wen was slightly surprised at first, and then he sneered. “Your responsibility is to sweep the floor, old man. And mine is to test him. You got anything to say?”

Yun Wanli said, “Sir, please go easy on him. Why do you have to do this?”

Fan Wen snorted. “Why? Because that’s my job!”

Yun Wanli sighed. “But my son is afflicted by a disease. Sir, please let him go.”

An insidious idea suddenly flashed in Fan Wen’s mind. His arms on his hips, he said to Yun Wanli, “Well, if you kowtow to me a hundred times and lick my shoe, I’ll not make things hard for him.”

Yun Shu was enraged at the way Fan Wen talked to his father. Just when he was about to put up a desperate struggle to win some honor, he heard his foster father say, “Really?”

A single word shocked Yun Shu senseless. Exhilarated, Fan Wen looked at Yun Wanli and nodded. “Sure!”

Yun Wanli let go of the broom. “Alright. I’ll kowtow to you.”

Then the elderly man bent forward. However, Yun Shu hurriedly stepped forward and caught him before his knees could touch the ground.

“Dad, don’t!” Yun Shu helped his father stand up, holding his arms.

Seeing his moment of joy flying away, Fan Wen was pissed. “Good for you! You had your chance. Now, get out!”

Hearing that, Yun Wanli said in a panic to his son, “Shu, but…”

Yun Shu smiled and said, “Dad, I’ve made the decision. Instead of being kicked out by the bastard, I’ll go to the Valley of Crime!”

Both Yun Wanli and Fan Wen were shocked. The Valley of Crime was the place where the sect punished the sinners. With sharp, piercing winds always blowing, staying inside was no better than death.

Many criminals died in the valley within three to five years, a testament to the harsh conditions. Yun Shu had not succeeded in cultivation yet. Therefore, going there was basically like a death sentence to him.

1Yun Wanli hurriedly shook his head, almost bursting into tears. “Don’t go there, Shu! You’ll die! Don’t go!”

Yun Shu had made up his mind. He smiled and said to his foster father, “Have some faith in me, Dad. According to the rules, if I can decipher the inscription on one of the three stone steles left by the sect’s founder in the valley, I will be released from the punishment! Besides, I’m probably gonna spend three to five years cultivating in the valley, so perhaps, I can do it.”

“I don’t agree!” said Yun Wanli resolutely.

Yun Shu looked into his father’s eyes and smiled, “Dad, if you kneel down in front of such a jerk, I’d rather die now.”

Before Yun Wanli could finish his words, Fan Wen interjected coldly, “Young Master Yun, I didn’t know you could make the decision. You’re such a loser that you are not even qualified to be sent to the valley!”

Yun Shu shrugged casually and walked out of the room in several strides. Then he shouted at the top of his lungs, “Elder Chen Sheng, you can’t even beat a stray dog! You’re a sad loser!”

The disciples who heard it were all greatly shocked by such a brutal remark made by Yun Shu!
