"Failed again?"
Chu Lingxiao sat cross-legged on the bed in his own room at the Chu family, trying to practice for countless times.
Although Chu Lingxiao has gradually accepted the reality, he still does not give up. He tries to gather the spiritual energy into his dantian every day, but the result is always the same. The spiritual energy disappears without a trace when it reaches his dantian, and nothing can be accumulated at all.
Chu Lingxiao clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He was still unwilling to accept that he would have to stay in Qingyun City for the rest of his life, and he was even more unwilling to accept that the distance between him and Gu Qingze would grow farther and farther.
"Hey, junior, it looks like you need help."
Just when he was sad and angry, a strange sound suddenly came into his ears.
He adjusted his mood instantly, became alert, turned around quickly, and scanned back and forth with sharp eyes, but he could not see a single figure.
"Don't look for it anymore. It's in your sea of consciousness."
Just when he thought it was an illusion, the strange sound came again from nowhere.
Hearing the voice say this, Chu Lingxiao not only failed to relax, but became even more alert.
The sea of consciousness is the most important place for a person. If he is really there, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?
As if knowing what he was thinking, the strange voice added another sentence.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of harming you."
Chu Lingxiao knew that he was too weak now, and even if that unknown thing wanted to harm him, he could not resist.
So, he suppressed the panic in his heart and tried to keep his voice calm.
"Who are you?"
Yes, he is alert in dangerous moments and can quickly adjust his emotions to calm himself down. The most important thing is that he is talented. He is willing to work hard even if his cultivation level cannot make any progress. If he adds his help, he will definitely become an extraordinary person in the future. The remnant soul showed his appreciation.
After a moment of silence, he found that there was no sound coming from the surroundings. After confirming that he was not hallucinating, he asked a few questions in succession.
"Who are you? Why are you in my sea of consciousness? What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry about who I am. I won't harm you anyway. Thank me, kid. I chose you after careful selection. You are so lucky. But I still want to thank you for your three years of filial piety and your determination to persevere even when you couldn't gather your spiritual power. Otherwise, I might really fall asleep in your sea of consciousness and never wake up."
Filial piety?
Chu Lingxiao blinked in confusion. After a moment, his expression instantly turned gloomy, and the cold words came out from between his lips with difficulty.
"My internal cultivation level plummeted overnight, and the spiritual energy that mysteriously disappears from my dantian every time I practice is also your fault!"
There was a certainty in Chu Lingxiao's words.
At this moment, all the previous thoughts such as being vigilant and trying not to offend him were instantly overshadowed by anger.
How many people have humiliated and bullied him in the past few years since he lost his cultivation?
How many people insulted me for fun?
If it weren't for Gu Qingze's protection, he would have endured even more!
"I was forced to do this. The situation was urgent. If I hadn't done this, I would have died."
Forced to do so?!
A simple excuse of being forced into a corner could make up for everything he had experienced before?!
He was so angry that he laughed and even started pacing back and forth in the room.
Is this a mental breakdown after knowing the truth?
The young generation nowadays is too weak to withstand pressure.
A floating transparent old man suddenly appeared in the sky above Chu Lingxiao.
"You wouldn't be so bad, right? You just absorbed a little bit of spiritual energy, you didn't do anything else."
What else do you want to do?!
Listening to that person's words, Chu Lingxiao's mouth twitched as he suppressed his anger.
"Since you have been in my sea of consciousness this entire time, you should know how much insults, ridicules, and bullying I have endured because of you!"
"But because of this, you've grown a lot, haven't you? If it were three years ago, you wouldn't be as calm and composed as you are now."
The old man smiled and said calmly.
If it weren't for his good upbringing, Chu Lingxiao would have wanted to curse.
Does any of this have anything to do with you?
His growth is also due to his constant efforts to adjust himself. If you try it on someone else, he will definitely become autistic. So shouldn’t he thank himself?
Not only did you, old man, take advantage of him, but you also started to educate him and gave him some inspirational speeches.
If you ask him whether this chicken soup for the soul tastes good, he can only say that it is extremely unpalatable and giving it to a dog is an insult to the dog!
