CHAPTER TEN: I Won't Compete with You on Worthlessness
After Chu Yang consumed the Golden Blood Ginseng, he spent some time sliding down to the bottom of the cliff. After all, the gallbladder of the Seven-Colored Crown Snake was also a precious item, a rare antidote. It would be a waste to let it go.
Then he circled around and returned from the outside.
To his surprise, upon returning, he saw two people standing at the entrance of the Purple Bamboo Garden. Moreover, one of them was actually speaking disrespectfully, insulting his master! Anger surged within him, and he coldly retaliated.
Upon hearing this person's name, he recognized him as the only son of Li Jinsong, the master of Locked Cloud Peak. Thus, Chu Yang retaliated with measured restraint: you insult my master, so I will use your father to counterattack!
Regardless of his past life or this one, Chu Yang would never allow himself to be at a disadvantage.
“Who are you?” The white-clad youth, Li Jianyin, frowned.
Chu Yang revealed a mocking smile and quietly watched him, his eyes displaying a strange intensity.
The first sentence he uttered, “My master…” already revealed his identity, yet Li Jianyin still had the audacity to ask. Clearly, he was intimidated, his mind in disarray. Such a question was meaningless, regardless of whether he answered or not.
People like this were certainly not worth his attention!
At the same time, he secretly warned himself; in a moment of anger earlier, he had felt the sword energy surging within him, unintentionally showing itself in his eyes. Such a situation must not happen again in the future.
In his past life, after his sect was destroyed, Chu Yang left Sky Tower and wandered the world. His character had always been somewhat reclusive, and after such a drastic change, he became even more arrogant.
Other than diligently practicing swordsmanship, Chu Yang rarely concerned himself with worldly affairs. His life experiences were unremarkable, and he seldom interacted with others. If there was any disagreement, drawing his sword was a common occurrence. Over time, this developed his personality into one that was as sharp and proud as a brilliant sword!
Dressed in black, with a sword as white as snow, he roamed the world, unmatched!
This was the Chu Yang of his past life. But after being reborn, his mindset underwent significant changes. He understood that he could never walk the same path as in his previous life…
Moreover, everything had room for redemption; all regrets could be revisited. The current Chu Yang was best described by the following poem:
The spring breeze brings joyous horse hooves,
People rejoice at joyful events and feel invigorated;
All harbor lofty aspirations and grand thoughts,
They indulge in poetry and literature, joyfully pursuing madness!
The world is beautiful, life is full of hope, how could he still be arrogant? If he wanted to be proud… it was simply not possible.
However, he remained vigilant; situations like today where his sword energy leaked were most likely to incite trouble and alertness. With his current insignificant strength, it was best to avoid unnecessary conflict.
“Are you a disciple of the Purple Bamboo Forest?” Li Jianyin, seeing that the other did not respond, asked again.
Chu Yang shook his head and looked at the young girl. He didn’t even cast a glance at him. Though his mindset had greatly changed, the inherent arrogance he possessed was deeply rooted. People like him, who couldn’t even comprehend what others said, were not worthy of his attention.
Li Jianyin was infuriated again. The unreserved disdain shown by the other provoked murderous intent within him!
“May I ask if this is Chu Yang, junior disciple of Uncle Meng?” The young girl smiled gently and gave a slight bow.
“Indeed, that is me. This senior sister, are you perhaps Elder Sister Wu, the disciple of the sect master of Gathering Cloud Peak?” Chu Yang replied nonchalantly with a smile. He had recognized her at first glance.
This poised and graceful young girl was none other than Wu Qianqian, the daughter of Wu Yunliang, the sect master of Sky Tower.
