"At that time, my parents had long stopped bothering themselves with the martial world. Our family made a living by farming. Although our days were hard, we enjoyed our family life and were happy every day. However, one day, a nightmare came. Everyone in the family died except for me. The reason I didn't die was because I knelt and kowtowed. I told them that I was obedient, that I was willing to cook and wash for them. I told them that I was afraid of death and that I wanted to live with all my might …"
"In the end, they decided that I was a good-for-nothing. Seeing that I had eight innately awakened chakras and had a decent aptitude, they brought me back to be sold … Then, I really began to cook and wash for them. I worked from morning to night without complaint for three whole months."
"Then, when they finally let their guard down, I poisoned them to death with a pot of soup. I avenged my parents' death and the blood debt of my family's annihilation. On the day of my revenge, I laughed, I laughed so happily … It was a pity that I was caught by another group of human traffickers not long after I escaped. Otherwise, I'd probably be a shop assistant now, or maybe I'd be living an ordinary but carefree life …"
"… Faced with another group of human traffickers, I humbly begged them again and continued to work diligently for them. I even helped them bully and teach the newly captured children. A few months later, I poisoned these five people to death with a pot of soup, and I even saved a group of young brothers …"
"I took those ten little brothers with me to beg everywhere. Actually, I still wanted to be a shop assistant, but if I left, what would happen to those little brothers? I smiled and endured it. I just wanted to wait until everyone was a few years older before we went our separate ways. I could still be a shop assistant, an ordinary person!"
"But this begging life didn't last for more than a few days. In less than ten days, I was targeted by another group of human traffickers and captured … This group of people didn't fall for my poisonous soup. They were killed by another group of human traffickers, and after they were done, I became the target of another group of human traffickers."
"In less than two years, I've gone through five waves of human traffickers. It's like reincarnation after reincarnation. I'm almost numb. I don't want to work as a shop assistant anymore and live an ordinary life. I … I've come to the Residence of Nine Supremes."
"I am sincerely grateful to Master, and I like this environment from the bottom of my heart. However, the Jianghu is still the Jianghu. No matter how much I like it, no matter how grateful I am, I still can't change this reality. Once I encounter danger, when Master is not by my side, when I am about to be forcefully killed, I … will still die. "
"As the old saying goes, death is no big deal. But I've been close to death too many times. What's the big deal?! Why can't I hahaha?! "
"I'm just like this. I think the Jianghu is just a joke to me. When I'm alive, I'll try my best to laugh and face everything happily. At the same time, I'll try my best to make myself stronger. I'll try my best not to die early. But when I'm about to die, when I'm about to be killed, I'll continue to laugh … Even when I'm about to die, I won't give the other party pleasure! "
Hu Xiaofan laughed and said, "Think about the moment when I was about to die. Do you think the person who killed me would ask the same question as you asked today? Why did he laugh? You're obviously about to die, so how can you still laugh so happily? "
"This is all my understanding of the world of martial artists. The world of martial artists is hahaha … "
Hu Xiaofan's eyes were full of coldness as he spoke. Eventually, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, but there was always a smile on his face and the corners of his mouth.
The hearts of all the disciples were filled with shock.
Yun Xiuxin's mouth was agape as well, and she could not speak for a long time.
Hu Xiaofan said proudly, "So, this experience actually doesn't give me any special understanding … It's still the same, and it even proves many of my previous thoughts …"
Yun Yang, who had been silent up there, finally spoke. "Hu Xiaofan!"
"Master." Hu Xiaofan bowed respectfully to listen.
"Your understanding is not wrong. But I still want to tell you that the martial practitioners of the Residence of Nine Supremes have an implicit standard — to protect! To protect your senior and junior sisters, senior and junior brothers, to protect your master and uncle-masters, and to protect your sect. Including in the future, to protect your family and your children, just like your parents did in the past, to protect everything they cherished. "
Yun Yang paused for a moment and said, "I believe you understand."
Hu Xiaofan was silent for a moment before he said, "Yes, Master. I'll work hard to become stronger so that I won't be like my parents, watching everything I want to protect being slaughtered in front of me … So, I dare not slack off every day."
Yun Yang nodded with relief. "It's good that you understand."
"Yes, Master. From now on, I'll do my best to protect and become stronger as much as I can. However, if one day I'm unlucky and I'm not strong enough, I hope I can still go to hell laughing before I die," said Hu Xiaofan.
"…"
Yun Yang choked and waved his hand. "You've rested long enough. Go back to practice."
It was not a good feeling to be choked by his own disciple. 'So what if you have a deep understanding? Do you know how to respect your master? Are you going to betray your master and destroy your ancestors?' Subconsciously, Yun Yang had the urge to beat the boy up and teach him a lesson …
'No … you can't do this. You can't beat, scold, or punish him. I'm a kind master, I have to convince people with reason …'
…
At night, Yun Yang still caught Hu Xiaofan and gave him a good beating.
The boy thought the atmosphere was too dull, so he put a snake in each of his senior and junior sisters' blankets …
Hu Xiaofan became the common enemy of all his disciples from then on!
Yun Yang heaved a long sigh.
'F * ck, why did I accept such a fellow as my disciple?'
'When reasoning doesn't work, force does! The effect is just as good!'
However, Hu Xiaofan's cultivation progress was impressive. Under the high-pressure catalysis of the Residence of Nine Supremes' rich spiritual Qi, his cultivation base had advanced to Jade Mystic pinnacle in just three days. Together with Yun Xiuxin and Cheng Jiajia, they had all broken through to Earth Mystic.
That day, Yun Xiuxin had just broken through in the morning, followed by Cheng Jiajia in the afternoon. Hu Xiaofan had followed suit the next night!
Yun Yang took a deep breath and finally decided to let go of this matter completely. He did not care anymore.
He let go of everything, body and mind.
In terms of aptitude and talent, Yun Xiuxin was obviously much better than Hu Xiaofan. Otherwise, how could she have caught Yun Yang's eye and become the principal disciple of the Central Peak? Moreover, Yun Xiuxin's mind was strong enough, which could be seen from the sect tournament and the battle of Jade Mystic pinnacle. Even her diligence was above her peers, almost as if she was cultivating with her life on the line.
