Sun Wuben was sick.
Sun Wuben, who had never been sick since he came to this world, fell ill for the first time. This illness lasted for three days, and then he slowly recovered after twenty days. During these twenty-three days of illness, Sun Wuben didn't lie on the bed, but sat beside his mother's nutrition pod. Sometimes he sat silently, sometimes he grabbed his mother's hand and talked to her, as if he wanted to wake her up. Sun Wuben couldn't remember what he said at all.
It wasn't until this day that Sun Wuben walked out of the Sun Wu dojo and came to the peak of the back mountain to enjoy the wind and look at the mountains in the distance.
"Wuben."
A beautiful figure appeared behind Sun Wuben.
"Mother's matter can't be entirely blamed on you." Mia looked at the back of the youth in front of her with some heartache. The fourteen-year-old Sun Wuben was taller than a normal youth. In the past, this back was so bright and handsome, full of vitality, but now this back was somewhat bent and bleak, as if it was the back of an old man in his twilight years.
"Sister Mia, you don't have to say anymore, I've thought it through." Sun Wuben turned his head and grinned at Mia. The sunshine of the past seemed to have returned to his face.
Mia's heart relaxed.
"Wuben, it's good that you've thought it through. After two days, when your body is better, go to the Capital of the North and give it a try. If you really can't enter the key class, go to the ordinary class. With your qualifications, the ordinary class of the Capital of the North will fight for you."
"Go to school?" Sun Wuben whispered. After a moment of silence, he shook his head, "Sister Mia, I've thought it through. In fact, I've been on the wrong path since a long time ago. Since this school has to be stopped, so be it."
Mia was stunned and walked to Sun Wuben's side, "Wuben, what did you say?"
"In this life, I want to live for myself." Sun Wuben turned his head and smiled. "What I want to say is that I don't really like studying. Or rather, I just like to read books. I also like to think and do research. If I didn't have a better choice, being a scholar or a scientist might be a good choice. But now, I have a better choice."
"Oh?" Mia was confused.
"Actually, studying and thinking about martial arts isn't a bad idea. I've been interested in martial arts cultivation since I was young." Sun Wuben smiled.
Mia frowned as she reached out her snow-white hand to touch Sun Wuben's forehead.
"Sister Mia?"
Sun Wuben raised his head. Although Mia had been taking care of him for the past twenty days and they had lived together for more than a year, this was the first time that Mia had acted so intimately with him. He was not used to it.
The back of her warm hand fell on Sun Wuben's forehead. Sun Wuben felt his ears heat up.
"You don't have a fever." Mia withdrew her hand from Sun Wuben's forehead.
"Sister Mia, I've already recovered. I'm not lying. What's wrong with martial arts? The most promising people in this world are not scientists, but martial artists. "Sun Wuben turned his head and looked at the mountains in the distance.
"The most promising path is the martial path?" Mia giggled. "Wuben, I may not have studied much, but don't lie to me!"
Sun Wuben's cheeks twitched. If he didn't know that this was the world of Dragon Ball, no matter who said that the most promising thing was martial arts, even if it was the country's president, Sun Wuben would have scoffed like Mia.
"Wuben, you said that martial arts is the most promising path. I may not be well-educated, but I've traveled the world with your Grandpa Wusheng. Although I'm not well-informed, I'm not someone who can be easily deceived. I also know that among the richest and most powerful people in the world, none of them practice martial arts. Let's not talk about other things, just look at me. So what if I'm skilled? Other than opening a martial arts dojo, being a bodyguard, and guarding doors, what else can I do? Once I encounter something that requires me to spend a lot of money, I'm helpless. It's really difficult for martial artists who don't have a family background. Last time, I was a train robber and robbed people. Do you think I want to? But when I'm pushed to the limit and want to make money quickly, I really can't find any other way other than robbing. "
Sun Wuben was silent for a moment. In the world of Dragon Ball, when one's martial arts cultivation reached a certain level, one could fly in the sky, burrow into the ground, destroy the world, and destroy a planet with a single palm. However, Mia didn't believe his words. Even the top experts on Earth, Master Roshi and Tsurugi, would treat Sun Wuben's words like farts in front of them.
"A person has to see his own heart clearly before he can go far." Sun Wuben smiled. "My heart is on martial arts. To me, martial arts cultivation isn't about making money. Also, you have to know that when a person's goal is money, he can't make a lot of money. When a person's goal isn't money, he can make a lot of money instead."
"Aiyo, my family's Wu Ben really has a way with words. I know you read a lot and have a glib tongue. I can't argue with you. " Mia giggled and then said seriously, "Wuben, you're still young. Maybe you don't know how difficult martial arts cultivation is …"
"Sister, you don't have to say anymore. Martial arts cultivation is difficult, and I understand that you can't make a lot of money. I already have a plan to make money. I won't delay it, okay?" Sun Wuben looked down the mountain.
A figure ran up, panting.
"Wuben, Mia, you're all here."
"Uncle Carla, what's the matter?"
"Wuben, it seems like your illness is almost healed."
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Carla." Sun Wuben smiled.
"Wuben is such a polite child. It's good that you've recovered. If my girl was sick for twenty days like you, she would definitely fall behind in her studies. Not to mention twenty days, she wouldn't be able to keep up with the progress even if she didn't go to school for a day." Carla smiled and sighed. He looked at Sun Wuben with a strange gaze.
Sun Wuben felt uncomfortable. He naturally understood Carla's thoughts. As a student of the top class of the Capital of the North, he had always been the pride of the village. This time, he suddenly came back before the school holidays and didn't go to school for twenty days. Although Mia helped Sun Wuben hide this matter, how could the villagers not be suspicious?
Carla seemed to be talking about his daughter, but in fact, he was inquiring about Sun Wuben.
"By the way, Wuben, your grades in class are very good, right? I remember when you were studying here, you always got a certificate in every exam. If my girl …" Carla said with a smile.
This time, not only did Sun Wuben feel uncomfortable, but Mia's face was a little stiff. She couldn't say that Sun Wuben, a "top student," had dropped out of school. She couldn't afford to lose face.
"Uncle Carla, you're joking. I was lucky to be able to enter the top class. How could my grades be good?" Sun Wuben said with a forced smile.
"Is that so? Then this time you stayed at home for twenty-three days. You didn't fall behind, did you?"
"It's okay. By the way, Uncle Carla, do you have something to say?" Sun Wuben smiled and changed the topic.
"Yes. By the way, when are you going to the top class of the Capital of the North?" Carla said.
Sun Wuben felt his face was a little hot. He didn't know how to answer.
"Let's talk about it after Wuben completely recovers." Mia's voice sounded. She pulled Sun Wuben's arm and said, "Wuben, the wind is strong here. Your body is just a little better. Let's go back to the house first." She pulled Sun Wuben and strode down the mountain.
Carla frowned.
"By the way, two strange-looking children came to ask for guidance in cultivation. I asked them to wait and came here to call you," Carla said loudly.
"Ask for guidance in cultivation?"
Mia's voice was very unnatural. Now that she had taken over the Sunwu Dojo, she naturally hoped that the business would be prosperous. However, after a year, there was no one left who came to the dojo to cultivate. It could be said that the foundation left by the ancestors was completely destroyed.
Sun Wuben also frowned. Since the death of his father, Mia had hurried to take over the Sunwu Dojo. Because she was young, it was difficult for her to convince the masses. Moreover, she was a girl. Even though her martial arts cultivation was very good, it was difficult for people to pursue her. Gradually, even those who recognized her cultivation were unwilling to come to the dojo.
In just a year, there were more than ten disciples under his father. Until now, no one was willing to come to the dojo.
The famous Sunwu Dojo, which had been passed down for more than two hundred years, had fallen so miserably in the hands of Mia. Sun Wuben could see that Mia had always been guilty and blamed herself. In addition, the villagers of Yinxing Village and the surrounding areas were gossiping about her. Although few people criticized Mia to her face, with her martial arts cultivation, how could she not hear what they said?
