C14 (1/2)

When I returned to my house, Ah Hu came close to me and kept asking questions. After the first peak competition, there were three to four days of rest. Since Ah Hu was exempted from labour, he stayed in his room to train.

I shook my head and didn't say anything to Tiger. The appearance of the heavens! The phase of the Sky Evil! I don't know what this is, but would Tiger know?

However, based on what I heard from Elder Qiu Xi, he should be thinking of choosing a disciple among them to pass on his skills, and there's a high chance that I'll be the one to choose. In other words, when I pass the trial, it means that he'll officially take me in as his disciple. But, what was he going to give his disciple for?

I have to become stronger. In this Sky Sect, Elder Qiu Xi has a very high position, otherwise, why would he and Elder Ling Xuan be the only two people to be invited to the Thirteen Peak's elite selection? Moreover, when I first arrived, I heard that this Elder Qiu Xi is the pillar of the entire sect, and for such a person with strength, the only way I can get an answer is to become stronger.

My phase is Heaven's End, Tian Xie, why do I have two? Why do I have two faces? Elder Ling Xuan had said that the appearance of Heaven's End was ruthless and decisive in its actions, and ruthless and heartless, suitable for Elder Qiu Xi's dao. Was his dao ruthless and cold-blooded? And I thought I was kind-hearted. In that case, he was definitely going to turn me into a merciless person. How was he going to turn me into someone like that? What did he need?

It should be a massacre! Killing people was merciless and numbing. In Grandpa Sun's stories, this was the most common, direct and quick method! Moreover, in Supreme Harmony Hall, Elder Qiu Xi also said that he couldn't afford to wait! Unable to wait, unable to wait, this meant that he didn't have much time. As for why he didn't have much time, either because his lifespan wasn't long enough, or because something was about to happen.

I can't fail this time's trial, if I fail, I will return to the outer sect. No matter what the circumstances are, he shouldn't have much time to search for an inheritance, so if I return to the outer sect, I will miss the opportunity he gave me. This is such a precious opportunity, I can't lose it!

I may not be a benevolent person, but I have always been sincerely protecting the teachings of my mister and father. I have always wanted me to put these down and become a heartless, bloodthirsty person; that is impossible. After despair comes a tremendous change in character. Perhaps, he will make use of my family to achieve this goal! As for what it was, I had no idea, but I was sure that he would have confused me, or I would never have willingly become ruthless.

After a long time of deductions, I finally managed to come up with this answer. I don't know if it's correct or not, but it shouldn't be too different from the truth. However, how can I keep myself from getting lost, I must think of a way.

I shook my head. I couldn't think of anything, so I got up and went out.

Lying on the grass on the hillside, basking in the sun, enjoying the rare comfort, I asked Tiger, ”Tell me, what can I do to keep me awake?”

”Hmm?” Ah Hu turned his head to look at me. ”Why are you asking this?”

”Of course it's useful. Otherwise, why would I ask you!”

”Eh, ah, this, by sheer willpower!”

”Do you think you have a firm will?”

”Me? Of course! ”

”Well, how firm?”

Ah Hu scratched his head, ”Heh heh, this thing, how could I say it with any certainty. Anyway, I won't bend my waist for a bunch of candied fruits!”

”Two strings are broken, right?” ”Seriously, what do you think?”

Ah Hu sat up, ”You just want to stay awake, right?”

”En!” I nodded.

”Uh, maybe, pain can stimulate you and help you wake up! When people were not calm, they liked to slap themselves twice! And do you think that when you're dreaming, you use pain to determine if it's real or not?! ”

”Pain?” I nodded thoughtfully. ”Where is the pain?”

”Idiot!” Ah Hu scolded him, ”If someone were to say that all ten fingers are linked to the heart, of course it would be the fingertips!”

After hearing what Ah Hu said, a flash of inspiration struck me and I immediately came up with a plan. After exchanging a few words with him, I hastily returned to the training room.

Pain! Indeed, all ten fingers were linked to the heart! I look at my finger. After a long while, I grind my teeth and come up with a plan... Three days passed in the blink of an eye. However, in these three days, I believe that those few people who went through the trial weren't having an easy time. The nervousness and annoyance in his heart made him feel like it was going on for an incomparably long period of three days. While he was filled with anticipation towards the trial, he was also deeply afraid of failure!

Elder Qiu Xi looked at us, but I kept having the feeling that he was intentionally or unintentionally glancing at me from time to time, but I knew that the person he cared about wasn't me, but his legacy.
