Chapter 45: Anger
Chapter 45: Anger
"Why did you even stopping me?" Luo Lan asked in sulking tone.
Bai Xin passed him a glance then walked down the stage. She looked in Xu Qin's direction. "Now that the session is over, let's have a short talk."
Xu Qin beamed.
"Yes!"
Luo Lan snorted and then looked at the side where Su Han was crouching on the ground. After the fight with Lin Xiao, he was still in recovery stage and looked quite bad. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he tried to keep his expression still.
"Hey, you ok?"
"Ah, Young Master, I'm fine."
"Hmm, in that case, go and have some rest. Here's medicine for you."
Su Han was startled with the sudden kind gesture. He quickly stood up while ignoring the pain all over his body thanks to the Mountain Punch that Lin Xiao gave him.
"Many thanks for your kindness!"
"Hmm." Luo Lan waved his hand and walked away. Of course, he was not that generous enough, but it was his teacher's instruction to give the medicine out. As long as he came back to his teacher's side, he would be able to get a new bottle of medicine.
The third disciple didn't seem to have any interest whatsoever as he turned around directly. He didn't even try to talk with some of the youngsters who had potential. His arrogance made the villagers speechless, but no one dared to speak out and criticized him.
They still treasured their lives.
Bai Xin and Xu Qin chatted for a bit. After talking for a while, Bai Xin recalled Lin Xiao and asked out, "Do you know who that persistent young man is?"
"Ah?"
"The one that Su Han fought."
"Oh." Xu Qin's eyes turned gloomy at the mention of Lin Xiao. She never had any good impression of Lin Xiao because the latter always ignored her. As someone who had both beauty and talent, she hated the fact that Lin Xiao didn't even give her any face.
"He's a troublemaker. His name is Lin Xiao."
Bai Xin nodded. She could sense the mood shift inside Xu Qin and wondered a bit about what actually that Lin Xiao did to make him hated by the other youngsters. He must have been a bad person.
At that moment, Bai Xin had already termed Lin Xiao as someone bad.
"How do you usually train?" Bai Xin swiftly changed the conversation. "Can you show me your training place?"
"With pleasure, Sister Bai!"
The one who had dark expression at this moment was not only Xu Qin. To his annoyance, Su Hei realized that no one seemed to care for him in the slightest bit. The barrier called talent had been his shackle ever since a long time ago.
And now, it was showing even more.
The disciples were not ignoring him because they wanted to, but it was because they took interest in the more talented ones. After all, a sect would always prioritize those who had more potential to become big in the future.
Rather than wasting their time to those who had already reached their limit, they preferred those who were still growing.
'Su Han, Lin Xiao, Xu Qin….'
Under his breath, Su Hei muttered slowly. These three were those who attracted the disciples' attention the most. Jealousy swirled within his eyes as he lowered his gaze, trying to hide it.
…
In a distance away, Lin Xiao was still dragging his pained body. The distance to their home was still quite long and there was no way he could use the shortcut unless he wished to die. The cliff wouldn't show mercy.
"Brother."
"Yes?" Lin Xiao asked back. He could see his brother was walking in moderate speed right beside him.
Lin Yun looked at Lin Xiao with solemn expression. "Why don't you fight back?"
"It's too quick," Lin Xiao said helplessly. He still needed time to prepare his stance and Luo Lan clearly would not give him the time he needed. There was no other choice for him but to evade and evade again.
"Brother, how long would it take for me to advance to rank 6?"
"Ah? Wenren Yu told you that it might still take a few more days, right?" Lin Xiao remarked in confusion. If he was not wrong, there were still some time before it was the time for Lin Yun to advance again.
"I'll get stronger faster, Brother." And make them pay for this.
Looking at his brother forcing himself to be strong in front of everyone, Lin Yun felt burning anger. For the first time in his life, he wanted to be stronger than his brother and beat up those annoying disciples.
How dare they harm his brother!
Thwack!
Lin Yun blinked his eyes, stunned by his brother's sudden forehead flick. He looked at Lin Xiao with bewildered expression. "Brother?"
"Stupid, don't sacrifice your foundation for petty revenge," Lin Xiao scolded. "Cultivators will live for a long time after reaching certain stage. You should just focus on getting stronger."
"But you're also hurrying, Brother!"
"I'm in a hurry to get stronger, but I will not put those people on the list of my goal." Lin Xiao pointed to the front. "Don't just put revenge as your goal. Life is much more precious than that."
Lin Yun blinked his eyes and pursed his lips. "Will you kick their asses, Brother?"
"Of course!" Lin Xiao exclaimed. "I'll be strong enough to be able to venture the entire world and in the process, I'll spare some time to kick those arrogant and annoying people's ass!"
Hearing that, Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His brother is truly peculiar.
