Swearing Against the Heavens
"Phew!" As she lay on the bed, Xiao Chen slowly opened her eyes and let out a long breath.
"Xiaochen, you're finally awake." Xiao Mufeng rushed to the bedside and held Xiao Chen's hand. He sobbed,""You know what? You scared me to death."
"Wood Peak, why am I here?" Xiao Chen said. She could not figure out why she, who was in the courtyard just now, was on the bed.
"You brat, I was scared to death when I saw you faint in the courtyard just now.”Xiao Mu Feng looked concerned, but he smiled. There was nothing better than his brother waking up.
"Wood Peak! I'm fine." Xiao Chen held Xiao Mufeng's hand and comforted him. He was thinking about what the purple figure was.
"Yes!" Xiao Mufeng nodded his head vigorously and cried tears of joy."I know you will be fine. Our wishes haven't been fulfilled yet, so how can something happen so easily?”
"Wish!" Xiao Chen's heart jumped." Yes! Our wish." However, his expression immediately darkened,"Sigh, we don't have a chance.”
"Why are you doing this? There's always a way out. Lie down properly. I'll go get you some food.”Xiao Mufeng patted Xiao Chen's hand and comforted her.
After Xiao Mufeng left, Xiao Chen stood up and walked around.
In fact, he was wondering why he was unharmed after being hit by the purple light. What was that purple light?
When he arrived at the courtyard where he had fainted, it was quiet in front of him. A cool breeze blew past. Even though it was summer, it still made people feel a little cold in such a courtyard.
The sound of insects chirping in his ears was incessant, and the breeze brought with it the rustling of leaves.
Xiao Chen stood quietly on the stone platform. He let his hair dance in the wind.
" Sigh, maybe I'm hallucinating. I don't even have a chance, hehe…" After mocking herself, Xiao Chen gave up on the idea of being lucky enough to encounter a chance.
"Xiao Chen, after you finish eating, you can go to the martial arts arena for a walk. Today, the clan master is going to teach you a new martial technique!”Xiao Mufeng walked out of his room and said to Xiao Chen.
"Aren't you going?" Xiao Chen asked.
Stroking his hair, Xiao Mufeng smiled and said,"In order to take care of you, I was lazy just now. The dishes that Supervisor Ding asked me to wash are not ready yet. I'll go over after washing them. You go first."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.""Alright."
Xiao Mu Feng and Xiao Chen were fourteen or fifteen years old. Not counting their childhood, they went to the martial arts field almost every day to watch others cultivate. It had been more than ten years, and he was rarely absent. Other than themselves, no one knew about their desire to cultivate.
……
"Hey, isn't this our Xiao family's great genius!”
"They still have the face to come out? I admire you!"
"The Xiao family is famous now!"
"That's right. The Xiao family has really lost a lot of face. They actually have such two trash!”
The crowd burst into discussion, and every word was like a knife cutting into Xiao Chen and the others 'hearts. Xiao Chen's body stiffened as he listened to the discussions. He lowered his head so that no one could see his expression. The young man clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly. A trace of red blood had already seeped out of his tightly clenched lips, which was especially dazzling under the rays of the setting sun. Although he often heard such humiliating words, it was like a torture every time.
With heavy steps, they walked towards the border of the martial arts field with unwilling and stubborn eyes. The mocking voices behind him were still clear, as if they were ringing in his ears. It was ear-piercing and heartbreaking!
"Yo, what's wrong? Our great genius? You didn't even say hello when you met?" At this moment, a few figures blocked in front of him.
"Xiao Lin, what do you want?" Xiao Chen asked in a low voice as she looked at the people blocking her way.
Xiao Lin, the son of the second elder of the Xiao family, often bullied people with his status in the Xiao family. He often found trouble with him.
"Hehe, no, I'm just here to see what our academy's genius looks like. Haha…everyone, take a good look! This is the genius of our Xiao Family. He has been cultivating for a few years without any progress, unable to comprehend martial qi! The useless young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Chen!”Xiao Lin pointed at the young man and said loudly to the group of people beside him. His playful expression was full of mockery and disdain.
Instantly, everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at Xiao Chen curiously, as if she was a rare and rare object. The sarcastic comments were endless.
Xiao Chen looked coldly at the people around her who were looking at her with mocking eyes. Her eyes were sharp and determined! He took a deep breath and did not refute or argue.
He was already used to this kind of gaze, and he was also used to this kind of scene. He didn't care about other people's opinions. How much ridicule and ridicule had he suffered in the past two years? He could no longer remember! Ever since he was judged to be unable to cultivate martial qi, such mockery followed him like a shadow!
If he wanted to give up, he would have given up two years ago. Since he had persisted until now, there was no reason for him to be defeated by other people's eyes and words. He only believed that he would not remain silent like this. One day, he would get rid of the title of trash!
Thirty years east and thirty years west, don't bully the poor young! At that time, he would definitely let these people know what a mistake was! There was no trash in his Wang Clan!
At that thought, Xiao Chen gradually calmed down and continued walking forward.
"Hey…what's the rush? Let's take a good look. My friends have been wanting to see you for a long time. Haha…Come, let's introduce you. How did you cultivate?”Xiao Lin said with a laugh as he pulled Xiao Chen, who was trying to squeeze out.
"Move aside!" Xiao Chen's voice was a little hoarse as she fiercely shook off Xiao Lin's hand and shouted coldly.
He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his hands bulged one by one. His nails dug deep into his flesh, and a trace of red blood slowly flowed down. His expression was extremely ferocious.
"What's wrong? Still not convinced? If you have any opinions, you can say it!" Xiao Lin was a little angry when Xiao Chen pushed her hand away. His face turned cold as he lifted Xiao Chen's head with his hand and asked indifferently,"
The scene instantly froze, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy. The situation here also attracted the attention of countless students walking back and forth in the training field. Unknowingly, about a hundred people had gathered around them.
The crowd was filled with discussions. They looked at Xiao Chen, who was surrounded, and quickly recognized him.
When he saw that the person surrounding him was Xiao Lin, whispers instantly sounded. There was a hint of pity in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Chen.
Not to mention Xiao Chen, many of these people had been bullied by Xiao Lin in the past. Now, Xiao Chen, who could not even comprehend martial qi, was even more so. Towards Xiao Lin's tyranny, these people could only be angry but did not dare to say anything!
Second Elder, this Xiao family's big shot was not someone they could offend.
Looking at Xiaochen, he could only sigh inwardly. He knew that he was unlucky today.
"Let go!" Xiao Chen fiercely shook off Xiao Lin's hand and growled in a low voice.
She raised her head and glared fiercely at Xiao Lin. Xiao Chen was prepared for this guy's increasingly outrageous behavior. So what if she was beaten up like last time? Self-esteem was more important than anything else. Without self-esteem, he had nothing left. Now, all he had was self-esteem and an unyielding heart.
"Good…Very good! You've got guts! How dare you shake my hand?" Xiao Lin was so angry that he laughed when his hand was flung away by Xiao Chen. He felt that he had lost all face when his hand was flung away in front of so many people. He looked at Xiao Chen with a vicious expression and clenched his fist, ready to swing it forward.
Seeing the fist rapidly approaching her, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She raised her hand and prepared to counterattack.
The atmosphere instantly reached a boiling point. Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at Xiao Chen in disbelief. He was actually going to fight back and go against Lin Qun! Was he crazy? Did he not know that he would be beaten to death if he resisted like this?
"Xiao Lin, what are you doing!" Just as everyone was tensed up, a soft shout came from outside the crowd. The voice was very faint, but it was filled with a sense of intelligence.
Immediately after, the crowd took the initiative to open up a path, and a group of three people walked into the circle. One woman and two men. The woman in the lead was tall and had an exquisite face. She wore a white dress and was slender and elegant, like a holy and inviolable snow lotus. She gave off a cold feeling. Even if she was standing in front of you, it seemed as if she was far away.
"Bing 'er, why are you here? Nothing much happened. I just bumped into Xiaochen, so I wanted to get to know him better!”Xiao Lin's eyes lit up when she saw who it was. Her expression changed 180 degrees as she spoke with a flattering smile. She could not hide her admiration.
They were Xiao Bing, the daughter of the Xiao family's grand elder, and two other direct members of the Xiao family.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Bing asked as she approached Xiao Chen and frowned.
"I'm fine!" Xiao Chen nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Bing with a complicated expression. Her appearance had helped him again.
However, it was precisely because of this that Xiao Lin bore a grudge against him and would find trouble with him from time to time.
"Let's go!" Seeing that Xiao Chen was fine, the young girl heaved a sigh of relief and said softly.
"You're leaving just like that?" Seeing that Xiao Bing was about to leave, Xiao Lin asked anxiously. There was a hint of reluctance and greed in her eyes.
Ignoring Xiao Lin, her eyes were filled with disgust as she walked out. Seeing the graceful figure ignore her and leave, a ferocious look flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes.
"Hmph, little trash, you're lucky this time. Bing 'er helped you, but you won't be so lucky next time!”As she walked past Xiao Lin, Xiao Chen heard the cold voice. In response to Xiao Lin's warning, Xiao Chen snorted coldly,""Anytime!"
"Hey, kid, very good, just you wait!”Seeing that Xiao Chen still dared to fight to the death with him, Xiao Lin was so angry that he laughed.
Walking out of the crowd, Xiao Chen took a deep breath.""I owe you a favor! I'll pay you back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. He did not like the kind of charitable gaze that others gave him.
"Humph? You? What capital do you have to repay me? "I think it's fine. Just don't continue to cause trouble. By the way, don't forget that you're a good-for-nothing. You don't have the strength. So, I don't want to see you embarrass the Xiao family outside again. Don't flaunt the Xiao family's name everywhere!”Xiaochuan Zhu replied with a disdainful look.
Xiao Chen's face turned cold when she heard those words. The trace of gratitude that she had felt earlier disappeared in an instant. She looked up at the woman and then at the other man. Neither of them said anything. It was obvious that they agreed with the man's words.
"Don't worry, I've never done this before. I won't do it now, and I won't do it in the future!”Xiao Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart as she spoke coldly. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and quickly walked into the distance.
"Trash, if it wasn't for the family head protecting you, would he still be here? What a reckless thing! Bing 'er, why did you save him just now? Let Xiao Lin take care of him!”Seeing Xiao Chen leave like this, the man showed a hint of dissatisfaction and complained to the woman beside him.
"Hehe, forget it. Chuanzhu, why are you still arguing with such a trash? After all, he still had the label of a young master. Now that he could not cultivate, helping him was giving face to the Xiao family. If other families knew that the young master of the Xiao family was humiliated, they would laugh at him!”The seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth standing on the other side of the girl smiled and said indifferently.
"Xiao Chen? It was over! Let's go too!" The young girl pondered for a moment and sighed.
Hearing the discussions behind her, Xiao Chen clenched her fists tightly again.""If I break through the shackles one day, I will return today's humiliation a hundredfold!
……
The summer night sky was vast and boundless. The silver moon was like a plate, and the sky was filled with stars.
"Still not working?"
On the lawn at the back of the mountain, Xiao Chen looked at the deep night sky and felt the little bit of martial qi in her body disappear without a trace after she stopped cultivating. She sighed with disappointment.
She looked at the ring her mother had made in the past. This was the only thing she had left for her. There was a hint of sadness and unwillingness in her eyes. She held it tightly in her hand and touched the wounds. Blood flowed out of the wounds and onto the jade.
"Am I really that useless?”
Back then, he knew that the strong preyed on the weak in this world. Strength was the most important and the strong were respected. He swore to become a strong person since he was young and bring glory to the Xiao family.
Sigh, can I still fulfill this wish? Thinking of this, two streams of tears flowed from the corners of Wang Chen's eyes.
Gazing into the distance, her heart was filled with desolation. However, she did not notice that when her tears fell on the ancient ring on her finger, a purple glow flashed across the ring before disappearing.
Unable to comprehend martial qi? What a ridiculous result. No matter how hard or tiring it was, he could endure it. He believed that as long as he put in effort, he would be rewarded. Therefore, he had always worked hard and never gave up!
Even if he was being looked down upon, mocked, and mocked.
However, the reality before his eyes had crushed his hopes. His faith seemed to have collapsed at this moment. In the past few years, he had endured so many looks of disdain, lived under someone else's roof, and suffered so much humiliation. The grievance in his heart spread out in an instant, making him feel a trace of desolation.
"Damn heavens, why are you doing this? Do you really want me, Xiaochen, to never be able to make a comeback?”At the thought of this, Xiao Chen pointed at the vast night sky like an injured beast and roared. Tears began to flow uncontrollably.
" My fate is up to me, not the heavens. I won't let this continue. I swear to defy the heavens. One day, I, Xiao Chen, will stand at the peak of Fire Dragon Kingdom and create my own glory! Heavens, just you wait, just you wait!”Xiao Chen continued to roar at the dark night sky. She wiped away the tears on her cheeks and her eyes were filled with determination.
"There is no such thing as a hopeless situation in this world. There are only people who are in despair.”This was what his father often said to him when he was young.
He repeated this sentence repeatedly. Finally, his eyes gradually lit up as he looked into the distance. He clenched his fists."As long as one breath survives, hope will not be extinguished. The Heavenly Dao was unfair! I won't accept your defeat!"
