Luo Jiujiang came over confused.
The young man stood straight, like a wooden pillar in front of Luo Cang. Luo Cang had to look up to see him. He added unhappily, "Squat down."
Luo Jiujiang squatted down in a daze.
Luo Cang lowered his head and stared at the other party for a long time. Finally, his head slammed against Luo Jiujiang's forehead, causing the unprepared Luo Jiujiang to scream miserably.
Luo Cang felt relieved.
He let out a long sigh, and said angrily: "You are so smart, why can't you be a little dumber!"
Luo Jiujiang: "..." He's so smart, but who did he offend? If he was really smart, he wouldn't squat down and get beaten!
——————————
That night when Luo Jiujiang returned to his courtyard, Han Qianling was standing at the gate with his hands behind his back. When he saw him coming, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"How did you get into such a mess?" Luo Jiujiang's whole body was soaked with sweat. Even though he was blown by the cold wind at night, the dark marks on his clothes had not yet dried and stuck to his body.
"I don't know why Master dislikes me." Luo Jiujiang spread his hands helplessly, "Why are you waiting here?"
"Qinghui is here, and he's brought a new friend with him," Han Qianling said briefly. He waited for Luo Jiujiang to reach him before opening the gate. "I just heard your footsteps, so I went out to greet you."
As they were talking, the two walked into the courtyard. A young man sitting at the table in the courtyard sipping tea laughed when he saw Luo Jiujiang's appearance: "Jiujiang, you just walked back like this?"
"I've been in worse shape many times. Everyone on the island has seen me." Luo Jiujiang answered casually. He went into the house, quickly changed his clothes, and re-combed his hair. When he reappeared, he looked like a handsome young man.
Yue Qinghui introduced the young man beside him to him: "His surname is Dong, his given name is Shuang Yu, and he doesn't like to go out. This time the Seven Islands Competition will be held on your Daimao Island. When you meet him, you must take care of him for me."
"Of course that's easy." Luo Jiujiang agreed readily, and the young man next to Yue Qinghui didn't say anything, but he also saluted Luo Jiujiang.
The young man had a slender figure, delicate features, and skin as white as goat fat. Even at dusk, he was faintly illuminated by a layer of light. Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but take another look, and received two indifferent glances from Dong Shuangyu.
"I heard that you beat up Du Di a few days ago?" Yue Qinghui asked interestedly as soon as Luo Jiujiang sat down.
Luo Jiujiang calmly clapped his hands and said with a smile, "They say bad news spreads a thousand miles, how come you all knew about my great deed so quickly?"
Yue Qinghui laughed and said, "Shuangyu, look, there are people in the world who are so shameless."
"How can telling the truth be considered shameless?" Luo Jiujiang tutted. "If I beat Du Di to death, the Du family would have to give me a plaque that read 'Eliminate Harm for the People'—and by the way, how did you know that Du Di had the nerve to spread such a shameful beating?"
"Ask Shuangyu, I heard it from him."
Dong Shuangyu had been drinking tea with his head down, but when Yue Qinghui called him, he looked up. He slowly scraped the tea foam with the tea lid before speaking his first words since meeting Luo Jiujiang.
"Mr. Luo, you may not know that Du Di's elder brother Du Chuan has returned to the island recently."
Du Chuan is Du Di's eldest brother. He used to practice in the Jinkui Sect in the Clouded Leopard Realm. At the age of 23, he has already reached the third level of foundation building. He is a young talent who is highly valued by the sect.
"Hmm?" Luo Jiujiang's train of thought was momentarily distracted. "No way, is Du Di's IQ really that low? If he wanted to stop me, why did he call his eldest brother back from the sect? Are those guest officials and lackeys of his family just for show?"
Han Qianling rubbed his brow helplessly and reminded: "Seven Islands Competition."
Du Chuan had come all this way not just to give his brother a fight. He had come for the generous prizes of the Seven Islands Competition, and of course he would beat up Luo Jiujiang as revenge.
"Okay, okay." Luo Jiujiang cheered up and clapped his hands quickly. "After beating the younger one, it's time for the older one—but haven't they forgotten that these two brothers are older than me?"
Everyone laughed incessantly.
Luo Cang reached out and rummaged through the pile of books for a few times. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he pulled out a book that was about as thick as an adult's palm and threw it to Luo Jiujiang.
"Ouch." Luo Jiujiang shook the weight in his hand. "Thank you, Master, for giving me a heavy weapon. With this weight, when I encounter danger, I can throw it forward. Even if I can't kill the enemy, I can at least break a bone or two."
Ignoring Luo Jiujiang's joking words, Luo Cang coldly ordered: "This is for you to recite. Don't make a single mistake from beginning to end."
The ominous feeling came true in the blink of an eye. Luo Jiujiang felt his eyes go dark for a moment and he let out a long breath: "I am really ashamed to be able to accept your kindness, oh no, love."
Luo Cang snorted and laughed, then added indifferently: "Don't get me wrong, I mean all of this pile."
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
"A day's plan begins in the morning. You'd better start now." Luo Cang turned the wheelchair around expressionlessly. "I'll come back to check in half an hour. If you haven't memorized the outline of the book in your hand, you won't have to eat today."
He rolled his gloomy wheelchair over the threshold of the house, then added, as if remembering something: "By the way, if you think it's not enough, there will be more after you memorize these. My dear disciple, how can this little 'heavy' expression of your master's love for you fully express the depth of his love?"
After saying this lightly, Luo Cang turned his head and raised the corner of his mouth in a condescending manner, giving a forced smile.
Luo Jiujiang: “!!!”
Even after the door slammed shut before his eyes, Luo Jiujiang still hadn't recovered. He was more horrified by the thought of Luo Cang joking than by the pile of books that would take him forever to memorize.
Speaking of which... Luo Jiujiang swallowed his saliva: That was a joke, right?
Half an hour later, Luo Jiujiang was finally able to enter the room. Standing in the room of Beixue Garden, which he had never had the chance to visit, he recited the general outline to Luo Cang.
Although the book was frighteningly thick, its contents were actually quite interesting. The general outline section began with the Dragon God's creation of the world and continued with the dragon's demise, describing how its scales were scattered everywhere, its blood formed into a vast ocean, and its sudden madness before death, which fragmented the world into over three thousand worlds of varying sizes and created the unique form of the current cultivation world.
