Cheng Qian wasn't interested in the news He had never held any interest in pointless things like coot older, his prideful heart had been tested with a fair deal of self-doubt and beco Qian's eyes, there were only two kinds of people in this world: people who are no match for him now, and people ill be no inning to hurt greatly, so he didn't want to loiter around He announced si else”

“Hold it, your business isn't done yet, stay right there,” Yan Zheng to Han Yuan, “Have you finished your daily assignment of thirty wooden char raised his brow, “What does that coo!”

Han Yuan dejectedly stuck his tongue out and didn't dare to say another word

Their Sect Leader was no longer the person he used to be — He had grown fro the part of a vain narcissist, into a vain narcissist who actually has authority

Five years ago, Sect Leader Yan, who'd suffered huical decision without a care for public opinion — He obstinately insisted that Fuyao Sect cultivates through reciting sutras, preserving the tradition of training thecharms Even if they had to follow in other people's footsteps and hurry to build their cultivation base, they n had explained his reason with soe, but other than this face thaton ht do I have to change the thousand-year tradition of our sect? In any case, even if the sect traditionleft behind by ourthe only person ould go against the Sect Leader's words to change sides

Li Yun never had reed quickly As for Han Yuan, he didn't even have a clear viewpoint Thus, this matter was decided just like that

Those five years had proven that Yan Zhengly absurd decision was correct

After absorbing Qi into their body, for their cultivation base wasn't a s, they would encounter one Trial every three years Each ti akin to a ht result in dire consequences if they weren't careful In the best case scenario, their cultivation wouldn't improve for the next few years; in the worst case scenario, they'd experience a Qi deviation

These were the trials that had to be endured once a common person treads the path of cultivation

Back then, Muchun Zhenren had never urged his disciples to form their cultivation base If he hadn't departed unexpectedly, the disciples' boring days of charms and sutras in the Mission Hall would've continued for soand tedious, its results not immediately visible But when repeated daily, their h these continuous efforts

It goes in line with the saying ‘Sharpening the axe won't interfere with cutting firewood [1]'

This hen they truly began to build their cultivation base through conventional ress would betheir Trial, too, their experience would be much better than other people's

But with the firewood presented right in front of the to keep sharpening their axe?

After telling Han Yuan off, Yan Zheng hi, as originally squatting in the middle of the courtyard, ie She stared at Yan Zhenged for a long ti saw her, he would always feel like he'd seen his own past self It produced a strange sentirace of one's parents before raising their own child' With a flick of his finger, he sent out a bolt of his Qi, which accurately hit the char was torn in the flawless circle of char a s plopped down on the ground, drawling out a boorish accent that she'd picked up from some unknown place as she stretched her neck, “Oh, mother, o ow — this old body's all exhausted”

Hearing this, Yan Zheng a bad turn, so she hurriedly jumped to her feet, wiped her face with the sned innocence without regard for her slovenly appearance, “Hehe, thank you, Eldest shi+xiong”

Her every action 's eyes twitch continuously At last, he couldn't stand it anymore and turned to leave with a flick of his sleeves He told Cheng Qian as he walked, “If she dared to grow up like Tang Wanqiu in the future, I' to kick her out of our sect noQian cohter after all I heard that the offspring of a cuckold usually wouldn't be too ugly”

Sect Leader Yan, “…”

He did not feel better in the slightest

Yan Zheng opened the door to his own roo hih the fragrant aro's roo Qian still couldn't help sneezing when the door was opened

He rubbed his nose while looking at the flowers on the table, which always remained in bloom with the help of charrained sophistication He secretly let out a sigh He et out of this one

Zheshi+ rose to his feet “Sect Leader”

“There's nothing for you to do here, you can leave” Yan Zheng to co I need him to do”

Zheshi+ obediently left the roo closed the door behind him, crossed his arainst the door To Cheng Qian, he said, “Take off your clothes”

Cheng Qian, “…”

“Hurry,” Yan Zheng forhis lack of cooperation, Yan Zhengood on his words and ‘carry out the law on the spot'

Cheng Qian saw his deteran to disrobe while intentionally trying to disgust Yan Zheng, I haven't bathed in three days, aren't you afraid of corrupting your eyes?”

Surprisingly, Yan Zheng off the clothes Cheng Qian kept hanging on his body and saw the bruise on Cheng Qian's back, which extended froht side of his waist It had al out like spiderwebs On the youth's pale back, it was an extreht

Other than that, there wereQian's body Some of them had deeper colors, while others see Qi into the body didn't mean they could practice inedia and be free of worldly needs, but after they'd begun cultivating, their marrows and bones would be cleansed Their bodies wouldn't blemish as easily as those of common people, and their wounds wouldn't scar either Except if they hadn'timmediately averted his eyes It felt like his chest had been strucksoEven his own back was throbbing as a result

A strange unreasonable anger toward Cheng Qian for His chest rose and fell repeatedly as he forced himself to calm dohich took a while

“Go lie on the bed,” Yan Zheng said He unsuccessfully tried to hold himself back, and added in a resentful voice, “If you had been two years younger, I would've beaten you until not even yourQian tried to turn his neck a few times, but didn't succeed, so he obediently lay on his sto apply medicine for hi? They always cover large areas, but they're actually alright… Ah!”

“Alright?” Yan Zhenger him further, so he buried his face in the sheets and focused on enduring the pain

The dey If it weren't for the user being so inco out even a tenth of its power, that thing could have shattered the entirety of Cheng Qian's innards through his back

Yan Zhenght at the tip of his tongue, but when they were about to leave hisso rown back

The current Yan Zheng Qian had earned each of the wounds on his body

Now that he thought about it, any grudge or fury couldn't have kept hi couldn't deny that this shi+di of his, as the youngest out of the Qian had never criticized his Sect Leader about anything His attitude had always been the same: If you can do it, do it yourself; if you can't do it, I'll do it for you, even if my body is ruined andQian's body was like a slap to Yan Zheng's face Because of this, he didn't dare to rest for even onehad been unable to close his eyes for an entire night, because he kept seeing this shi+di of his in his night's war into the body and li for the right tihly exhausted Not long after he'd lied down, he didn't want towaist and couldn't help thinking, The Sect Leader's seal hangs around my neck Even if I'm not around, there's still Li Yun — Even Han Yuan is older than you, so why couldn't you just be like Shuikeng, and renorant? Why do you have to force yourself like this? Why don't you rely on your shi+xiong h he could have said these words to anyone, he couldn't say the Qian, whose exhaustion became apparent after he had relaxed

Because they had been relying on each other for life all these years, even saying ‘thanks' was difficult for Yan Zheng words of that sort

After so only told hi has returned, but he won't stay for long No matter what, you have to endure it and keep a low profile, do you hearQian drowsilyhis words like the wind

Yan Zheng looked down and realized that the little bastard's eyes had closed Cheng Qian's head was slightly turned to the side, his eyelashes so minutely There were faint dark circles under his eyes Even the re air of adolescence on hi sighed, gathered hisQian's hair, pulled his clothes up, and placed a thin blanket over his body He went to sit andfor a while, Yan Zheng finally couldn't help himself It felt like he wouldn't be able to meditate peacefully if he didn't ask this i Qian a solid shove, “Hey, have you really not showered for three days?”
