Just like that, little tyrant sat there for three whole days.
Three days later, the spiritual aura that continuously entered his body slowly calmed down, and the wounds on his body automatically healed, faintly emitting the pressure of a Gold Core.
The pill was formed!
A certain master, who had been standing next to his disciple and silently watching everything, suddenly took a step forward. With a wave of his hand, he set up a barrier around his stupid disciple.
"Eh?" Zhu Yao curiously turned around. What was going on?
Yu Yan silently glanced at him. "His Pellet is done."
"I know." Wasn't it obvious?
"Yu … Yao!" He sighed and gave her a 'why is my disciple so stupid' expression. "After forming my Gold Core, there will definitely be tribulation lightning."
"Uh …" Zhu Yao instantly understood. The hell, she had forgotten about this matter. Most probably, she would still be the one being struck!
The corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched. He silently set up several layers of formations and added a defensive barrier. "Hehe … Master, let me do this kind of thing!" She felt that when her master was struck by lightning, he was exceptionally unreliable. He had already dropped the ball a few times.
Yu Yan frowned, as though he had recalled some unpleasant memories, he silently approved of her actions.
After thinking for a moment, he felt a little indignant. He reached out and pulled his stupid disciple back into his embrace. Un, I can finally be at ease now.
"Granny … granny, what are you doing?" Ye Qingcang was confused. Was something big going to happen? Or was there an enemy attack? Was there a need to be so cautious?
"Hoho … You will understand in a moment." Zhu Yao gave a bitter smile. Raising her head to look at the sky, her expression straightened. "It's here."
Ye Qingcang looked up, only to see the clear sky just now. The sky began to darken, and large patches of thunderclouds gathered. This was the tribulation lightning of the Core Formation stage! So he was worried that Brother Bai wouldn't be able to overcome the lightning tribulation?
"Granny, don't worry. Brother Bai has a strong heart. He will definitely be able to overcome the lightning tribulation safely."
Zhu Yao replied with two words. "Hoho!" She then raised her head to look at the sky. "I say, classmate Cang, are you sure you won't stay further away from me?"
"Ah?!"
There was a loud boom!
A snow-white flash streaked across the sky. The tribulation lightning struck down. Towards … Zhu Yao.
The charred Student Ye: "…"
Ten thousand unknown creatures whizzed past his heart.
Wasn't Brother Zhiyuan the one who formed his Gold Core? Why did the tribulation lightning strike Granny? Moreover, Granny seemed to be very clear about this situation. She had already set up a barrier, so the lightning pressure didn't reach her at all. Strike him with all your might!
"Granny … granny …" This was not an immortal technique!
"Sigh! I told you to stay away from me! "Zhu Yao reached out her hand, and instantly pulled him into the formation.
The thunder in the sky struck even more merrily, crackling and crackling without any sign of panting. Moreover, all of them were aimed at this side. Not a single one landed on Bai Zhiyuan.
Student Ye Qingcang felt uncomfortable. Who was going to form their Azoth Core?
He was full of doubts. He felt a chill in his heart as he felt a chill in his heart. When he turned around, he saw the man next to his mother-in-law looking at him coldly. He instantly felt as if two ice blades were stabbing into his heart.
What?
Granny seemed to have called him master just now. Why was he looking at her like that? What did he do wrong?
It was so cold. How scary! Suddenly, he wanted to go out and be struck by lightning. What should he do?
Yu Yan: My disciple's acquaintance, as expected, hateful!
"Seven, eight, nine, ten …" Zhu Yao very patiently counted the lightning bolts. Don't even think of tricking me. Ninety-nine, eighty-one bolts. Not a single one more, or else it would be a loss.
"Granny …" Ye Qingcang innocently rubbed his hands, which were about to be frozen by a certain someone's gaze, in an attempt to divert his attention. "Did you … know that this lightning bolt would strike?"
"Ah? Fifteen … Sixteen … Seventeen … "Zhu Yao counted, but did not hear him clearly.
He had no choice but to repeat himself. "I'm saying, granny, are you purposely helping Brother Zhiyuan block the tribulation lightning bolts?"
"Purposely?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at him. "Who the hell wants to purposely do it? Who can purposely do it for me to see!? "
"Then the formation you set up earlier was …"
Zhu Yao glanced at him, and sighed with a heart filled with sorrow. "It's a habit, young man!"
"…" What did she mean? Could it be that the lightning bolts struck her on their own? He was startled for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he felt that it was impossible. The tribulation lightning was the embodiment of the laws of the Heavenly Dao, how could it possibly strike the wrong person? To be able to tilt the Heavenly Dao, just how terrifying of an ability was that? Granny must have been worried about Zhiyuan, so she was willing to suffer the tribulation lightning bolts for him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Turning to look at that figure whose Azoth core was becoming more and more solid, a hint of envy could not help but surface in his eyes.
Actually, in the heart demon, he had heard Bai Zhiyuan's words as well. Speaking of which, both of them were pitiful people. Both of them had the worst qualities out of the five spirit veins. Although he was fortunate enough to be accepted into the Inner Sect, the disdain and discrimination he received was not much lesser than the Outer Sect disciples. Bai Zhiyuan, on the other hand, had fallen from a genius with dual spirit veins to the bottom of the valley. Their fates were similar, and they had even met grannies who treated them sincerely. In the past, he felt that Bai Zhiyuan was even more pitiful than him. He came from the bottom, so there was no such thing as loss. Yet, he once had everything, yet it was snatched away, which was even more cruel. However, right now, he was a little envious of him, because no matter what happened to him, granny would always stand by his side.
"Twenty … Three or four? The hell, I can't remember the count. How many did I count to? "
Ye Qingcang smiled, the envy in his eyes grew even stronger. "Granny really treats Brother Zhiyuan well?" Unfortunately, there has never been anyone who treats me wholeheartedly.
Zhu Yao was startled, as she turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"
"What?" He had a confused look.
Zhu Yao frowned. In that instant, the word 'bug' on his face deepened a little. Earlier, it was so shallow that there was only a mark, but now, it was already faintly turning grey. Young man, just what nonsense were you thinking earlier, hey? Don't go back on your original path!
"What did you say earlier?"
"I said, granny really treats Brother Zhiyuan well."
"Am I not good to you?" Zhu Yao asked in return.
"…" Ye Qingcang was stunned for a moment, but then, he slowly shook his head. "Of course you're good."
Zhu Yao sighed, as she patted on his shoulders. "Little Cang, do you have something you want to ask me?"
He stiffened for a moment, and the expression on his face changed a few times, yet, he did not speak up.
"If you have something to say, then say it. Don't be wishy-washy like a girl!"
Ye Qingcang clenched his fists. Taking a deep breath, she turned to look at her and said, "Granny … Actually, I've always wanted to ask you. Back then, when you brought Zhiyuan away from Ness Cesary Sect, it was because he possessed the penta spirit veins, and you were afraid that he would be bullied by others. That was why he would rather hand over Skybond Peak in order to take him in as his disciple and bring him away. I … also have penta spiritual roots! Why didn't you tell me … "He didn't continue. Zhu Yao, however, understood his intentions.
"You want to ask. Why did I choose to take little tyrant as my disciple, and not you, right? "
He nodded. He immediately tried to explain himself, "I … I'm not trying to argue with Brother Bai. I just … want to know why. "He wanted to know why she always thought that Bai Zhiyuan was better than him.
"I know!" If he was really jealous of Little Bai, he wouldn't have risked his life with them. Zhu Yao sighed, and looked at him seriously. "Little Cang, tell me first. If we had really gone to find you and told you that we had been expelled from the sect, what would you have done? Will you come with us? "
Ye Qingcang was stunned. His face paled.
"You won't!" Zhu Yao answered for him. "Because if you were to leave with us, you would be betraying the sect. You would most likely be hunted down by the sect. "
"I …"
"I don't have the intention to criticize you!" Zhu Yao continued. "It's normal for you to not leave. After all, even if you follow us, you'll just be an inconvenience. Then let me ask you again. If you were little tyrant, and I wasn't a Demigod practitioner who hid my cultivation, but an Azoth Core practitioner, would you leave the sect? "
No! Ye Qingcang lowered his head. With his personality, even if he discovered that he possessed penta spirit veins, he wouldn't easily leave Ness Cesary Sect. Even if he was expelled to the Outer Sect, he would think of a way to find an opportunity to stand up again.
"See, this is the difference between you and little tyrant." Zhu Yao patted on his shoulders, and said seriously. "The reason why little tyrant left Ness Cesary Sect with me was because he trusted me enough. He believed that grandma wouldn't harm him. Even if he was expelled from the sect, even if he was turned into a wandering practitioner, even if he had to start cultivating from the beginning, he still trusted me. In fact, when he left, he blamed the sect, blamed his past teachers, blamed everyone, but he felt that he owed me. The first thing he thought of, wasn't what he should do in the future? Instead, it was his grandma who doted on him, who suffered grievances because of him. He wholeheartedly believed in me, his elder, his friend, and even his elder sister, so how could I not dote on him a little more? "
Ye Qingcang was stunned, his face was filled with shock and confusion. He seemed to have understood, yet he seemed to be even more confused.
"Little Cang, tell me, why didn't I choose you? Both of you possess penta spirit veins, and your circumstances aren't much different. However, have you ever thought that you and little tyrant are different from each other? The two of you have never stood in the same position. In your heart, are you like little tyrant, trusting me from the bottom of your heart? "
"…"
"Little Cang, we're cultivating, but the prerequisite is that we're not deities yet. We're all humans, and humans have emotions. In this world, there's no one who would treat you well for no reason. Without giving, there will be no gains. Little tyrant gave. He wholeheartedly believed in grandma. Even when he understood that he would become a bitter wandering cultivator in the future, he still left with me without any hesitation. However, Little Cang, what did you give? Have you ever trusted a person wholeheartedly? If not, why did I choose you? "
Ye Qingcang was stunned, and did not regain his senses for a long while. The echo in his heart grew louder and louder, and it was filled with one word. Trust!
He had always been alone since he was young. Due to his unyielding personality, he had always relied on his own strength to become stronger step by step. Hence, he felt that as long as he worked hard, even if his talent wasn't good, or his spirit veins were bad, he would still be able to reach the top. He had never sought help from others, so naturally, he did not understand what mutual trust was. Even when he had a fortuitous encounter back then, the first thing he thought of was to hide it. He had no choice but to tell granny.
However, the stronger he became, the emptier his heart became. Especially when he saw granny and Bai Zhiyuan, he felt that he was missing something, and a sense of inferiority would faintly rise within him. He never knew why. So the thing he lacked in the depths of his heart was trust. And the true goal of that heart demon, was to let him see this point clearly as well.
At that moment, he felt that the things he had been trying so hard to hide and pursue back then were a little laughable. However, his heart was suddenly enlightened, as though he had seen the sun.
Zhu Yao, however, widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Youngster, let me see your face!"
The bug … disappeared! (To be continued)
