"Before I worshiped in the back mountain, the second brother was very serious."
Cao Chunqiu's face showed helplessness, "When I compete with others, I basically just hit the point until the end. The second one wants to really fight."
"Really? Are you afraid of him?" Chu Xiu opened his eyes wide.
"That's not true." Cao Chunqiu shook his head, and then said sincerely, "I'm afraid I'll kill him with one punch."
Chu Xiu: "???"
"The second child at that time was actually very strong, otherwise he wouldn't have been favored by our master." Cao Chunqiu chuckled, "But after all, your senior brother and I have been practicing for a few more years, and our skills are deeper.
When the second brother came to me, I saw three flaws in him at a glance, especially his mental state, which fluctuated greatly and was not suitable for fighting. "
"So that's it." Chu Xiu suddenly realized it and said with a smile, "Then Senior Brother, your talent is actually extremely good."
"My talent?" Cao Chunqiu thought for a while and shook his head, "According to what our master said, I was actually quite stupid at the beginning. The only advantage is that I am more focused, whether it is sweeping the floor or practicing. Be focused.”
"Focus is the greatest talent." Chu Xiu muttered, "Elder brother, you are a late bloomer."
"Maybe." Cao Chunqiu said with a smile, "I refused the challenge from the second child, but the second child became stubborn and said that he would not enter the Suzaku Academy unless he defeated me.
During that time, I don’t know where the rumor came from, saying that our master looked down on me, and it would be useless even if I broke through all the southern walls of Chang’an City. "
"Then?" Chu Xiu became more energetic. He already knew the result and was still looking forward to the real statement from his senior brother.
Cao Chunqiu showed a smile on his face and said: "The second brother told me that this is our master's test.
You know, I actually never thought about becoming my master. "
"Haha..." Chu Xiu laughed and said, "Eldest brother must have been very excited at that time, right?"
Cao Chunqiu thought for a while and said: "It's not that I'm excited, but I can't believe it. I was already quite old at that time. Although I could see through the second brother's strength at a glance, I always felt sad every time I looked at Zhuque Academy. I am in awe, and I know very well how terrifying existences are hidden in Suzaku Academy.
In the face of that kind of existence, the higher your strength, the more you can feel how big the gap is. Probably anyone would be a little bit belittle oneself, let alone me who never take myself seriously.
But it was an opportunity after all, and I would definitely regret it if I didn't give it a try. "
"The south wall of Chang'an City is actually not difficult to hit. What's difficult is why do you hit other people's walls?"
Speaking of this, Cao Chunqiu's face showed a bit of pain, "That night, I broke through all the south walls of Chang'an City.
At the same time, that night, I went bankrupt. "
"Going bankrupt?" Chu Xiu's face twitched slightly.
"The first time I met Master, I felt inexplicably friendly." Cao Chunqiu said softly, "At that time, I discovered that the aura on his body was exactly the same as that of the good old disciple of Suzaku Academy who first taught me martial arts. .”
Chu Xiu was startled, and then he couldn't help complaining: "You put it like this, and the original story of determination suddenly became cliché."
"I felt very happy at the beginning, but like you now, the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became." Cao Chunqiu said helplessly, "But this is the fact. Our master is powerful enough to control everything. Under his nose, How could something unexpected happen?"
"No?" Chu Xiu blinked.
Cao Chunqiu paused and stared at Chu Xiu, "Speaking of which, we should be very destined."
"Fate?" Chu Xiu was startled.
Cao Chunqiu said: "A few days ago, Zhao Si told me your story. Yiming was destined to me and stole an ice silkworm from me."
"Tianhuang Iceworm..." Chu Xiu paused and nodded, "Then we are indeed destined."
As he said that, he felt something was wrong and stared at Cao Chunqiu suspiciously, "Are you trying to say that the Wild Ice Silkworm was left to you by our master that day?"
"That's not true." Cao Chunqiu shook his head, "To me, that's just a very ordinary ice silkworm."
"That's good." Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Otherwise, it would be too scary."
Cao Chunqiu looked up at the sky, "After I became a disciple, I didn't stay at Zhuque Academy for long before I started traveling around the world.
At that time, I was actually very confused because I met too many old guys and listened to their stories, and I felt that they were all pitiful. "
"Pity? Because of Suzaku Academy?" Chu Xiu thought thoughtfully, thinking of Liu Yebai who almost went crazy.
As a swordsman, Liu Yebai has stood at the top of the sword. However, even at the top, he is still not the strongest.
Above the sky, there is Chen Changsheng of Zhuque Academy.
"It's not Suzaku Academy, it's just our master." Cao Chunqiu said softly, "Although our disciples are all very strong, we can almost reach the peak in the fields we are good at.
However, the peak we have reached is different from Master and others.
Among the geniuses and monsters outside the Suzaku Academy, there are actually those who reach the top. They should be alone and seek defeat. However, when they look up, there is still a person who looks down on all living beings like a god.
When they discover that they will never be able to get close to our Master's realm for the rest of their lives, they feel nothing but despair. "
"..."
Chu Xiu was speechless. He had also met many old guys and made enemies of them. He could roughly understand the mentality of those old guys.
"Our master is not to blame for this kind of thing." Chu Xiu said, "Master did not block their way."
Saying this may be suspected of being sarcastic, or even double standards...but this is the truest thought in Chu Xiu's heart.
In fact, during the martial arts test, when he dueled with his master Chen Changsheng, he felt for the first time a sense of powerlessness that he could not defeat his opponent.
However, he never complained about Chen Changsheng. He would only think that he was not strong enough.
Or it may be due to his own experience. Chu Xiu's mentality in cultivation has always been 'If others can do it, I can also do it, and I must surpass other people's limits and reach a point that others cannot reach.'
"Yes." Cao Chunqiu nodded, "Master has opened up the world of cultivation, but it's a pity that no one can catch up with his pace."
"No one?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Cao Chunqiu paused, looked at this junior fellow apprentice, and said with a smile: "You are a real evildoer."
Chu Xiu smiled modestly and waved his hand, "My talent is actually very average. Ninety-nine percent of what I am today is due to my hard work."
Cao Chunqiu smiled and said meaningfully: "Master may have seen his future from you, so he left early."
"Did you see his future from me?" Chu Xiu was stunned and asked, "Where do you start talking about this?"
