After many twists and turns.
Ye Zichen found a few people who were strolling around the town in front of a restaurant.
When he got to it …
Meng Luo and the others didn't look too good. Their eyes were full of pity, as if they had heard a touching story from a storyteller.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Zichen walked in front of Bai Se.
Out of all of them, Bai Se was the only one who seemed to be fine.
Bai Se did not say a word as he glanced at the young man.
This young man …
"Future God." Meng Luo's face was full of pity as she walked over with red eyes. "Little Hai is so pitiful."
"Huh?"
Little Hai?
Ye Zichen looked at the young man in confusion. I still don't know the young man's name. Is he the Lil 'Hai Meng Luo mentioned?
"Who's Little Hai?"
"Senior, it's me." The youth replied, "Junior has been impolite. Up until now, I still haven't introduced myself to senior. Junior Song Hai greets future senior."
The young man looked very polite.
Ye Zichen nodded in return, then a look of surprise surfaced in his eyes.
"Your surname is not Liu?"
"My surname is Song." Song Hai smiled. "I was adopted by Senior Liu Shuiheng. I'm not a member of the Liu Clan."
"I see."
Regarding Song Hai's background.
Ye Zichen wasn't interested in learning more.
No matter what he'd experienced in the past, it didn't affect Ye Zichen at all. Ye Zichen nodded towards him, then prepared to tell Meng Luo and co. about finding an inn.
But at this moment …
Before Ye Zichen could speak, Song Hai directly knelt in front of him.
"Senior, please accept me as your disciple."
"Huh?!"
This sudden turn of events left Ye Zichen dumbfounded.
Apprenticeship?!
Ye Zichen looked at the others strangely, then noticed that only Bai Se frowned slightly. The others all acted as if it was only natural, while Hua Jianrou even walked up to speak up for him.
"In the future, why don't you accept him?"
？？？
What was going on?
Ye Zichen looked at Meng Luo and the flame rat with an expression of hope that Ye Zichen would accept him as a disciple.
"I …"
"Senior, please accept me as your disciple." Song Hai knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "I've been an orphan since I was young and was bullied in this town. Junior begs Senior to accept Junior and let Junior learn by your side. "
"Future God, Little Hai is really pitiful."
"Future God …"
Meng Luo and the Flame Rat also chimed in.
"Heh, how tragic is he?"
"Exactly …"
Meng Luo pursed her lips. She didn't need Song Hai to say it himself. She said it for him.
There was no other reason than...
The young man lost his mother and father.
The family declined.
He lived alone in this town without anyone to rely on. He had been bullied and looked down upon by countless people since he was a child. Yet, under such circumstances, he was still full of hope for life and lived a positive life.
Full of hope for tomorrow.
He was looking forward to the future.
To some kind-hearted and pure people, such a touching situation was really a trump card. It could be seen from Meng Luo and the others that they were moved beyond control.
What a pity!
Ye Zichen was no longer the naive young man from before!
At the start, Ye Zichen still had a sliver of a good impression towards the young man. Now, it could be said that all that was left was disgust.
Everything …
It was all because of Meng Luo and the others' consolation.
Ye Zichen didn't know what the young man had said to Meng Luo and the others along the way, for Meng Luo, Hua Jianrou and the Flame Rat to be so moved and plead for him.
However, Ye Zichen firmly believed in one thing.
Acting pitiful to gain sympathy was all done intentionally. Don't talk about showing your emotions, when you reach a certain place, your emotions will burst out like a flood.
It's all fake!
The moment he said all that.
It was already proof that he hoped to get others to be lenient towards him or pity him.
True, deep emotions.
They had always been buried in the depths of one's heart.
Even if others tried to dig deep, they might not be able to find it out, let alone say it to others.
Take the initiative!
Taking the initiative and being passive had completely different meanings.
If you take the initiative to say it, and others ask you, then when your feelings reach a certain point, you say it like you're telling them everything …
How could it be the same?!
Scheming!
"I was bullied."
Ye Zichen nodded heavily, then patted Song Hai's shoulder as if he felt the same way.
"Senior, I'm already used to these hardships."
"I just want to …"
Just as Song Hai was making use of this opportunity …
Ye Zichen's words rendered him speechless.
"Then why don't you work hard to become stronger, so strong that no one can bully you?"
"Everyone knows the coldness of the world."
"Since you already have nothing, why do you always want to rely on others? Can't you work hard yourself?"
"I've tried my best!" Song Hai shouted.
"I didn't see it." Ye Zichen squinted his eyes with a hint of disdain. "From Mengluo's words just now, I can feel that you … have been alone for several years. How many years has it been? Up until now, you seem to still be at the fifth level of the domain realm. "
"I have no resources."
"Fine, you don't have the resources." Ye Zichen nodded heavily. "Then let me ask you this. Why didn't I hear you mention Liu Shuiheng at all? He's your benefactor who adopted you. Don't you feel grateful towards him? Have you ever thought that there are plenty of people in this world who are worse off than you? You might not have the best life, but you definitely aren't the worst either! "
In the distance …
The disheveled young man, who was about to speak up, was stunned.
Perhaps because he didn't think that Ye Zichen would say something like that, he took out the roast chicken with a chuckle and took another bite. However, he froze the very next second.
"This world …"
"Who isn't trying their best to advance?!"
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes at Song Hai, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Do you know that I was only at the sixth level of the domain realm two months ago?"
"I only just reached the domain realm half a year ago."
"But now, you want to kneel on the ground and call me senior, and want to take me as your master. Do you want to take me as your master, or do you want to take my flaming lion as your master?! "
Song Hai, who was kneeling on the ground, instantly trembled.
It was as if, in that instant, Ye Zichen's words had struck the depths of his heart, and he'd seen through his innermost thoughts.
"If you want to take me as your master, then go find someone else."
"I believe that there are plenty of experts in this city."
Ye Zichen pursed his lips with a smile, then patted Song Hai's shoulders.
"I'm really sorry, but I don't have any thoughts of taking you as my disciple.
"I advise you to stop the thought of taking me as your master. I'm not suitable for you, and you definitely aren't the disciple I want to take in!"
