Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Shi Jian and the Invaluable Gratitude to His Teacher
Translator: 549690339
Chen Sheng walked step by step towards the door.
The gaze of the disciples from the martial arts hall fell on him, one after another.
Pity, indifference, gloating, disgust, all kinds of emotions were present.
The only thing missing was the eager look from that morning when Chen Sheng showed off his Light Energy prowess.
Feeling all the emotions, Chen Sheng took a deep breath.
He turned his head, looking for Shi Jian’s figure.
These two days in the martial arts hall, Shi Jian had given him a lot of guidance.
At the very least, he ought to say goodbye before leaving.
However, as Chen Sheng’s gaze swept over the entire martial arts hall, he couldn’t find Shi Jian.
Where the hell did this guy go?
Chen Sheng was puzzled, but decided not to dwell on it.
He picked up the weighted gear from the ground. When he arrived in front of the martial arts hall, Chen Sheng pushed the door open and stepped out.
“Brother Chen, what took you so long?” As soon as he came out,
A familiar shadow enveloped him from above.
Chen Sheng looked up in surprise.
It was Shi Jian.
“Stone, what the hell are you doing here?”
“What else could it be? I’m leaving with you, of course.”
Shi Jian said, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.
“Our relationship…shouldn’t have reached this point, right?”
Chen Sheng was confused. “Well, it’s not all because of you, Brother Chen.”
“Anyway, let’s just go.”
Shi Jian wrapped his arm around Chen Sheng, and together they walked away.
As they walked,
Shi Jian revealed the reason why he had decided to leave with him.
“Chen Sheng, you see, I’ve always been pretty useless in everything, except for having a big physique that scares people.”
“I have a very straightforward temper as well. After I dropped out of school and started working, I often had conflicts with people.”
“I used to think my life was a waste.”
“But guess what? I found out that my martial arts talent is actually not that bad.”
As he spoke, Shi Jian made a funny face.
Chen Sheng couldn’t help but laugh, and his unhappiness slowly dissipated.
“Then I joined the martial arts hall and hung out here for two or three years.
Half a year ago, I naturally awakened as a Qi Sensor.”
“I thought that sooner or later I would become a direct disciple, and by then I could be personally instructed by the Grand Master himself and have better resources to do whatever I wanted.’
“But today, when I saw them slandering you, Brother Chen, I just thought it was boring.”
“It’s really boring, actually.”
“So I just walked out while you guys were arguing and waited for you.”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng gave him a surprised look. “How come you’re so sure I was being slandered?”
“Aren’t you?”
“I am.”
“There you go.”
Shi Jian grinned.
“Brother Chen, you just came here two days ago, so you might not know.”
“The Grand Master has a very bad temper, otherwise, who do you think Li Qian learned it from?”
“If you were really trying to steal the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique, as he said, he would’ve slapped you already.” Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng was momentarily startled.
Then,
An expression of realization flashed across his face.
So as it turns out, Li Xingwu was just pretending back then.
Simply because he didn’t want to accept Chen Sheng as his direct disciple.
Now, why was that?
Chen Sheng suddenly thought about the so-called “resources” he had heard from others a few times.
Neither Guo Yang nor Li Qian seemed to be worried about others becoming direct disciples, competing for resources.
It must be related to these so-called resources.
In Li Xingwu’s eyes, Chen Sheng was indeed qualified to become a direct disciple, but he simply didn’t want to accept him. So he found an excuse to drive Chen Sheng away.
After a little thought,
Chen Sheng roughly grasped Li Xingwu’s intentions.
People just didn’t take him seriously.
Wu Ran had a demonic talent.
Guo Yang had been following Li Xingwu for ten years, considering each other as father and child.
Li Qian was his niece.
If he took in Chen Sheng, the resources allocated to these three would be even less.
Better to find an excuse to drive Chen Sheng away.
Upon realizing the reason, Chen Sheng couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic.
As expected, no matter where there are people, there will always be such tedious matters.
It’s more comfortable to cultivate on your own.
Thinking this,
Chen Sheng looked at Shi Jian again.
“Speaking of which, Stone, aren’t you going to tell the Grand Master before you leave?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Jian shook his head vigorously like a rattle-drum.
“I’ll send the Grand Master a WeChat message later tonight and let him know, then come back tomorrow.”
