Shi Wuchen's faint voice, laced with an inexplicable indifference, echoed in the air and in the hearts of the disciples.
Ninety-nine pairs of bright black eyes stared at him nervously, all of them holding their breaths without blinking!
They seemed to have made up their minds – no matter how hard and tiring it is, we will never be replaced!
"All of you, follow me!"
Shi Wuchen did not waste any more words, walking ahead slowly. After a while, he said, "When you enter the Nine Supremes Hall, report your names one by one and swear to join the Residence of Nine Supremes without regrets in this life!"
…
Another moment later, the children's crisp, yet deafening, swearing came from the Nine Supremes Hall on the mountain peak.
"We … are fortunate to enter the Residence of Nine Supremes today and become its disciples … We will not regret this life, we will not betray this life!"
The young and tender voices converged into bolts of spring thunder, rolling across the sky for a long time without stopping.
The thunder of the Heavenly Path fell with a crash.
Below, there were still thousands of children standing solemnly in the same place. Their eyes shone with longing as they looked enviously at the place where the voice came from above the clouds. Those … were all his companions, and they were already one step ahead of him!
We must work harder to catch up no matter what!
We also have to make an oath above the clouds!
We want to tell the world loudly that we will not regret joining the Residence of Nine Supremes in this life!
…
"You're saying that these children were actually bought from human traffickers? Many of them were not even prepared for sects with Celestial Luck Banners? "
Dong Qitian clicked his tongue in wonder.
"That's right."
"These children are so talented … How could no one be interested in them? Even if one or two of them are blind, it's impossible that all of them are! Preposterous! Preposterous! "
"Of course, this is not their original talent. In fact, before they came to the Residence of Nine Supremes, their original talent was only average. Just like what you saw when you first arrived. "
"Huh? You mean that the Residence of Nine Supremes has a way to enhance a person's innate talent in a short period of time? With such an immediate effect and god-like effect, it can benefit many people and be used repeatedly?! "
"I didn't say that. Senior, don't put me on the fire to roast!"
"I understand. I won't ask."
…
"Hmm … According to what you've said, there isn't even a single rich disciple among the Residence of Nine Supremes' disciples now?" Dong Qitian asked.
"The Residence of Nine Supremes is just a newly established one. I don't want any trouble."
"This is not a matter of trouble. Most of the children of rich families would have their meridians cleansed from birth at the expense of their elders. This starting point was something that the children under him could not compare to. As the saying goes, 'the poor are scholars while the rich are martial artists.' This makes sense. "
"How could I not know this? But the children of rich families also have many problems. "
Yun Yang was unmoved, replying indifferently, "Especially when we don't have much capital to attract them now. There's no need to go through the trouble of recruiting manpower, it's half the result with twice the effort!"
"What about the future?"
"In the future?" Yun Yang looked at Dong Qitian mockingly. "It's even less necessary in the future. Once the Residence of Nine Supremes gains a firm foothold and obtains the Celestial Luck Banner, the spiritual Qi density of our sect's base will definitely double or triple. I mean, on top of what we have now. "
"When that time comes, it'll only be easier for this place to produce genius disciples in batches."
"Since it can be done without external help, why do I need those so-called geniuses in the secular world?"
Yun Yang looked at the faces of the children in the Residence of Nine Supremes, his expression gentle as he said faintly, "Although these children in front of me have suffered a lot, they've learned a lot about the fickleness of human nature and the cruelty of the world. They know more about the cruelty of the world than anyone else, so they'll cherish everything they have now and do their best to protect what they have."
"I'm willing to brighten their future."
"I believe that their tolerance for suffering and pain is definitely much stronger than many children of the same age who have not experienced similar experiences."
"The hardships they've gone through may not be compensated in this world, under the heavens. But I'm willing to give them a chance. A bright future, a position above the clouds, is the chance I can give them. "
Yun Yang smiled and said, "As long as they work hard, they'll have a glorious tomorrow."
Dong Qitian was silent for a long time before he finally sighed deeply and said, "Your thinking is a little biased, even extreme, but I have to admit that you have a point."
Yun Yang said, "From what I see, this is an unbreakable truth. How is it extreme?"
Dong Qitian said, "Why don't you tell me directly why you're doing this?"
Yun Yang looked at the horizon and said, "It's just that everyone shares the same heart and the same principle. Since I was born until now … I've been an orphan for more than twenty years."
The flash of desolation in his eyes made Dong Qitian's heart skip a beat. He suddenly understood the source of Yun Yang's motivation and the true meaning behind his actions.
"Rich kids cry when they're scolded, they cry when they fall, they cry when they're bullied, they cry when their toys are snatched away, they cry when they're hurt, they cry when they're hungry … And as long as they cry, there's someone to comfort them."
Yun Yang pointed down and said softly, "But these kids are abducted and bullied. They live in a high-pressure environment every day. They're in pain every moment, but they rarely cry."
"Because they know that it's useless to cry. No one will comfort them because they cry. Instead, they'll be beaten up even more because they cry too much. They're getting used to it. Even if they're bitten by a dog, they can only wrap it up with tears in their eyes. When they're beaten, they can only grit their teeth and bear it without shedding a single tear. "
"I've rarely cried since I was young. I'm the same as them because we all know that it's useless to cry. Since it's useless, what's the point of crying? "
Yun Yang lifted his head and said, "The reason I'm willing to give them a chance is that I hope their future will be like mine. They'll keep their tears in their hearts and laugh freely in the face of this world, the martial world, and conquer it! "
"Only this is the Residence of Nine Supremes in my heart!"
"The true Residence of Nine Supremes!"
Dong Qitian ruminated on Yun Yang's words. He had a feeling that his feelings, or rather, Yun Yang's actions, must have their original intentions.
However, it was obvious that Yun Yang was unwilling to speak of it.
Yun Yang's gaze was fixed on the void, as if the faces of the Nine Supremes brothers were floating before his eyes.
"We're all from the lowest rung of society."
"We know our pain. So, if we conquer the world in the future and Yutang rules over the world, then, no matter who it is, we must remember to give more support to the children of the lowest rung. "
"They're suffering too much. And, there's no hope. "
"If we don't give them hope when the time comes, what's the point of us fighting for our entire lives?"
Yun Yang's eyes were shining.
He murmured, "Hope! I'll give! "
