With this doubt in his mind, Lin Xiu also asked about the child king.
Unexpectedly, the child king, who had always been lively and cheerful, suddenly fell into silence at this moment. After a while, he even put his chin on his knees and stared blankly into the distance. After a long time, he said to Lin Xiu, "Because my grandfather was beaten to death by a cultivator back then."
An intense hatred erupted from the Child King's eyes. One could well imagine what kind of blow that had dealt to his young heart back then.
Lin Xiu also fell silent when he heard this. He quietly sat down next to the child king and then gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Perhaps your talent is not the best I have seen, but your dedication to cultivation is indeed very rare. I believe that as long as you can persevere, you will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future."
Perhaps Lin Xiu's words brought great confidence to the child king. He seemed to have become a lively and cheerful young man again. He took a deep breath and then grinned at Lin Xiu, "Master, I will go down and catch two fish. Tonight, we have to improve our lives."
Hearing this, Lin Xiu also smiled, obviously recalling the situation when he met his cheap disciple for the first time. At that time, the child king was not afraid of anything and actually extorted him. But now that he thought about it, his heart felt warm.
It didn't take long. After a while, the child king, whose physical fitness had obviously surpassed his previous self, plunged into the water. When he came ashore again, there were already two fat fish in his hands.
He raised his hand proudly and then came to the shore. Lin Xiu smiled helplessly. With a flick of his finger, the sparkling and translucent flame fell on the body of the child king and expelled all the cold air from his body.
After returning home, the young couple had not returned at this moment. Lin Xiu was a little bored. The patient signaled him to continue pretending and not to rush to deal with the fish. He let the child sit next to him and told him some secrets of the continent.
Lin Xiu said that in the vast four seas, there was a peerless sea god presiding over, and in the spirit realm, there were fire phoenixes that could burn the sky and destroy the earth.
He even told the child about the battle of the three Dao Comprehending Realm powerhouses tens of thousands of years ago, which made the child yearn for it. He wished that he was born in that era so that he could see the changes of the situation at that time.
In order not to cause too much psychological burden to the child, Lin Xiu did not say much about the Netherworld Palace. Although ordinary people now also knew that the continent was facing an unprecedented catastrophe, these ordinary people did not know what the catastrophe referred to.
As early as one or two years ago, many farmers have put down the farm work in their hands, picked up farm tools, and then embarked on a road of no return.
Although Apricot Blossom Village wasn't big, these young men were no less hot-blooded than others. Many of them had left their homes and hadn't returned until now. As for the child king's father, because the child king was only two years old at that time, after some struggle, he still chose to stay.
If all the young men left the village, then if something happened, the village would not have the power to protect itself at all. This was also the choice of many villages. Some of the young men went out to explore, while the others stayed in the village.
After listening to Lin Xiu's words, he raised his fist and said to Lin Xiu, "Master, I'm afraid you still don't know what my name is. Actually, my name is Liu Hai."
"This name was given to me by my grandfather. He felt that as a family with only three descendants, I must not always stay in this small village in the future. I must go out and see the real rivers, to see the vast and boundless sea."
Lin Xiu nodded slightly, he could imagine the ardent expectations of a kind-looking old man for his grandson.
"I don't know where my grandfather got the news that if I want to become an immortal cultivator, I have to train my muscles and bones from a young age. However, doing so will consume too many resources. Although our village is nearby and can barely be considered wealthy, if we want to produce a warrior, this consumption is undoubtedly a bottomless pit. However, my grandfather did not give up easily. Instead, he entered the mountains again and again in an attempt to find some natural treasures so that he could exchange them for enough resources for my cultivation." The child king's eyes gradually turned red.
"Later on, grandfather seemed to have dug out a priceless treasure. Then, he hurriedly entered the city, wanting to exchange it for resources. However, what he never expected was that the people in the city were too useless. Grandfather's treasure was too valuable, and they did not have enough money to buy it. Thus, when grandfather came out of the city, he was secretly killed by them." The child's tears flowed silently. To him, if he had a choice, he would rather never cultivate and only hoped that his grandfather could always be by his side.
Every family has its own difficulties.
Lin Xiu sighed in his heart. Before he rose up, his father was always immersed in sorrow and Lin Wentian could only watch over the father and son in the dark. It was only until Lin Xiu displayed a powerful cultivation talent that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson took a turn for the better.
Once, Lin Xiu thought that his grandfather was a very shrewd and unscrupulous clan leader. Even if it was his own son, once he lost his value, he would mercilessly kick him away.
Later on, Lin Wentian brought them into the mountains for training and encountered all kinds of dangers. But when they faced the beast tide, Lin Wentian did not hesitate to use himself as bait to let the younger generation of the family escape. That time, Lin Xiu truly felt Lin Wentian's kind heart.
When he was about to leave the clan and head to the Gui Yuan Sect to cultivate, Lin Zhong handed him the Nine Dragon Heaven Locking Armor and told him everything about Lin Xiu's mother.
Lin Zhong cried silently and felt that he was a burden to the clan and wasted too many resources. He was too ashamed to face Lin Wentian, so he had been tightly sealed in the small courtyard.
After Lin Xiu became the champion of the Clans Tournament, he said that he wanted the Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng to treat his father's injuries. Many of the elders were against it, and only Lin Wentian stood firmly behind him.
Which old man in the world didn't want his descendants to live a good life? But sometimes, they also had their own difficulties and could not show it too obviously.
Back then, Lin Wentian watched as his son sank into a deep pit of self-blame. His heart was also filled with pain, but he understood that if he continued to treat his son the way he did in the past, not only would the other members of the family be dissatisfied, it would also make Lin Zhong feel even more guilty. Thus, he could only endure the pain in his heart and watch as Lin Zhong wallowed in despair day by day.
After the child king said these words, he realized that his master was actually staring into the distance in a daze, so he wiped his tears and tried his best to squeeze out a smile at Lin Xiu.
"Master, it's actually nothing much, it's already over. Although we don't know who the culprit is, when I become a strong warrior in the future, I will definitely find all those guys."
"If everyone in this world strives forward, never bullies the weak, and is willing to stand up for them when they encounter trouble, how good would that world be?"
The child king was young but at this moment, he was like a weather-beaten old man and let out such a sigh. Lin Xiu did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright, kid, stop sighing here. Everyone has their own thoughts, we can't expect everyone to be like us and have their own standards of conduct. As long as you control yourself, hold the bottom line in your heart, and don't be tempted by the outside world and lose your heart, it's fine." Lin Xiu stood up, his tall and straight figure was exceptionally tall in the eyes of the child king.
"Actually, I have never told you, your master is called Lin Xiu. In the Immortal Martial Continent, I can barely be considered a strong warrior. In the future, if you can cultivate to the Heaven Yuan Realm, you can come to the Gui Yuan Sect to find me." Lin Xiu said to the child king calmly, but Liu Hai could hear something unusual in his words.
"Master, in that case, are you going to leave?" Liu Hai was indeed extremely intelligent. Lin Xiu just said such a sentence and he was able to link the truth of the matter.
"Silly child, you have your own parents, but so do your master. I've been away from home for far, far too long. In order to break through, I've even tried many methods. But at this time, I'm also homesick." Lin Xiu rubbed Liu Hai's head, then took out a storage device and handed it to Liu Hai, then said to him, "Little guy, in the future, you must not slack off on training your physical body. The physical body is the foundation of cultivation. If your physical body is strong enough, not only can you bear more elemental energy, you will also be able to gain an advantage when fighting with warriors of the same realm."
The rims of Liu Hai's eyes were red. Even though he was very reluctant to part with his master, he was very smart. He understood that his master's cultivation was so high that there must be many things that were unknown to others. Wasn't there such a saying? Even if the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up. In Liu Hai's eyes, his master was a powerhouse who couldn't be any more powerful.
"Master, can you wait for my parents to come back, and then you can leave after dinner?" The child asked carefully.
"I'm not in a hurry anyway. Besides, it wasn't easy for you to get two fishes. If I don't have a good taste, wouldn't it be too much of a loss for me?"
