"Forget it. I came to you this time to ask you about the incident of beating someone before. Is there any reason?" Shen Qingtang looked at him and asked.
"I'm in Wanbao Immortal City. If I want to beat someone up, I'll do it. I don't need a reason." Lin Su said.
You should not have preconceived notions about a person. Shen Qingtang had only met him a few times, but he could see some of his nature. Although he had the recklessness of a young man, he was not a bad person by nature and would not hit others for no reason.
Shen Qingtang looked at him and said, "Answer honestly."
His eyes were as cold as ice, with a seriousness that none of the elders in Wanbao City possessed. Lin Su stiffened his neck and said, "Master, you have come to me to hold me accountable. If you want to punish me, then punish me. Once a teacher, always a father. I dare not disobey."
"When did I ever say I would punish you?" Shen Qingtang didn't understand his stubbornness and grievance, as if he was insisting that he admit the crime.
Lin Su looked up and asked, "Master, won't you punish me?"
Shen Qingtang responded: "No punishment if it's not your fault."
Lin Su was surprised: "Master, don't you think it's my fault?"
"It's impossible to tell without asking the reason." Shen Qingtang said.
"But if others knew I hit someone, without asking why, they'd think I was bullying them. I'm too lazy to explain to them, they're a bunch of brainless people." Lin Su sneered, "But Master is different from them. I'm willing to tell Master. They said Master accepted me as his disciple for Bingpo. I know Master is not someone who cares about other people. Since they like to gossip so much, I'll let them know how powerful I am. They won't dare to say anything again."
The young man was very good. Although he had a wanton look, his eyes were full of sincerity. Although his words were simple, he had not yet mastered the eloquence of those in the world of cultivation. Since his words came from the heart, they were naturally easier to touch people's hearts.
Lin Xin said that he was kind-hearted, so of course he was kind-hearted, as a pure heart is rare.
Shen Qingtang said, "There are so many mistakes made by people in this world. If you take everything to heart, it will only be detrimental to you."
Lin Su looked at him and said, "Should I just ignore it and let it go?"
He was clearly confused. Shen Qingtang said, "Master isn't asking you to endure it all the time. It's just that you're so calculating that you've given others the impression you're a bully. Even if it's not your fault, people will still assume it's your fault and put the blame on you. But they can only slander you with words, not you. Do you know why?"
Lin Su stood opposite him, and for once, he lost his rebelliousness and became somewhat obedient: "Because I am the young master of Wanbao Immortal City, I have my parents to protect me, so they don't dare."
"Then do you know why most people don't dare to talk about me behind my back?" Shen Qingtang felt that if he wanted to fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher, he naturally had to be patient and not be impatient.
Lin Su replied, "It's because Master's cultivation is extremely high. Most people don't dare to provoke him. Even if there are gossips, they only dare to say them in private."
He clearly knew everything, saw it clearly, and was so handsome, he wasn't the blockhead that people said he was.
Shen Qingtang looked at him and said, "That's it. If you have a strong background, they will be wary of you. If you are strong yourself, those gossips will naturally disappear. As a fierce tiger, why should you be tripped up by those snakes, insects, rats and ants?"
He was really teaching with patience. Lin Su could see that for someone who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, getting closer was just the first step. "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. I understand."
"Now that you understand, there are two large vats outside the house. Go and practice horse stance for two hours without using any spiritual energy." Shen Qingtang said.
"Two hours?!" Lin Su looked up at him in surprise, his slightly long phoenix eyes widening a little, "Master, didn't you say there would be no punishment?"
"It's not a punishment." Shen Qingtang said, "Your lower body is weak, so even if you have cultivation, you can't use it. Now that your cultivation has dropped to the Qi Induction Stage, it's a good time to start over."
"Master..." Lin Su looked at him hesitantly, "Isn't two hours too long?"
"When you became my disciple, you promised to train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, but you forgot it in just one day?" Shen Qingtang was not disappointed. He just knew from the moment he saw his cultivation that he was not a hardworking person. Since he had promised to learn well, he, as a master, naturally had to fulfill his responsibility of supervision.
Lin Su choked up and said, "I understand. A gentleman's word is as good as gold."
Lin Su turned around and went out, looking at the two large water tanks filled with water in the yard. He reached out and lifted one of them, and when he lifted the other with his other hand, the water in the tank almost spilled out.
He used his spiritual energy when lifting the water jars, but he released the spiritual energy when he took the horse stance. The physical strength of a cultivator is naturally much stronger than that of an ordinary person. Even if he only relies on his physical strength to carry the two water jars, he will not be unable to bear it for a while. However, two hours is definitely a challenge for a cultivator who has cultivated the Qi.
Of course, one cannot be lazy in cultivation. One needs to hone his body skills, cultivation and state of mind bit by bit. Although Lin Su was born in the world of origin, he did not possess extremely powerful strength from the beginning. He grew up from a weak baby and experienced hardships bit by bit. Now he is just using what he knows, so it is naturally much easier.
Naturally, Shen Qingtang was not taking the opportunity to cause trouble, but really wanted to teach him. True Man Qingxiao seemed to be extremely talented, and he became a Divine Transformation cultivator in just over a hundred years. Others only knew that he had outstanding cultivation, but did not know the hardships involved, and the sweat he shed during that period was unknown to outsiders.
Two hours was not unbearable for Lin Su, but it was definitely unbearable for a pampered young master.
In just half a minute, the sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks. Because he was using force with his arms, he couldn't wipe away some sweat even if it fell into his eyes. The salty taste instead stimulated his eyes and made tears well up.
"Master, can you wipe the sweat off my disciple's face?" Lin Su shouted into the room without moving.
Shen Qingtang sat in the house, but he was also paying attention to Lin Su's condition. He originally thought that even if he went out and did as he was told, he would cry out a few times, and beg for mercy after a while when he got tired. However, he didn't expect that after waiting for half a minute, he only spoke because his eyes were sore from sweat.
Not everyone who practices cultivation is born with the same talent as him, and Shen Qingtang does not value that, but he values hard work.
Without moving, he put his fingertips together and turned them lightly. The hot sweat on Lin Su's face instantly turned into ice chips and fell down, bringing a bit of coolness in this hot weather.
"Thank you, Master." Lin Su took a breath, gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.
Not long after the sweat on his face fell, new sweat slid down again when his physical strength was on the verge of limit. Lin Su didn't want to call him all the time and make him look weak and troublesome, so he chose to close his eyes and let the sweat soak his clothes. Even the hem of his clothes was dripping with sweat, forming one water stain after another on the ground.
