Chapter 521 I carry my ambitions! (Happy New Year!)

When Liu Er heard Shuang Jing's fabrication of Du Tiechuan's words, he didn't dare to respond.

His face was full of bitterness: "Master Du is a dignified god-level person, with a high position and power. Every move he makes is followed by wind and thunder. A small person like me can only follow closely behind and go with the flow."

Shuang Jing nodded and pointed at Liu Er: "You are of humble origin, just a human-demon hybrid. If you want to get ahead, you can't just go with the flow, but you have to find your place."

"Since you've come to me for help, I'll give you a chance as we're comrades in arms."

"Regarding the heavy armor quota, I can go against Du Tiechuan's wishes and help you. But..."

Shuang Jing dragged out his voice and did not continue speaking.

Liu Er understood the situation and immediately bowed, indicating that he was willing to cooperate and asked Shuang Jing to give his orders.

Shuang Jing smiled slightly: "Come, serve me tea."

Liu Er: "It is my honor!"

He held up the teapot with both hands, poured the tea, then raised the cup with both hands and handed it to Shuang Jing.

Shuang Jing did not take it, but remained sitting there, sneering: "Liu Er, you are a little confused."

"In terms of status, I am a descendant of a noble family. You are just a mixed-blood. Even if you are covered with the Blood Slaughter Dynasty's tiger skin, you are nothing compared to me."

"In terms of cultivation strength, I am at the Nascent Soul level, and you are just a small Golden Core."

"Regarding the current situation, you are the one who needs my help and urgently needs the heavy armor. Without this, your three battalions will not be able to bear the Iron Flow Pingchuan Military Strategy and will inevitably become cannon fodder and die on the battlefield."

"Have I made myself clear enough?"

"Under such circumstances, you are offering me tea and still standing?"

Shuang Jing looked at Liu Er coldly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.

Liu Er stood there in a daze, and the muscles on his face twitched.

His heart was shocked and the humiliation in his heart surged like a tide.

He gritted his teeth and smiled: "Master Shuang Jing is right! I didn't distinguish the importance of the matter. Please... have some tea, Master."

His legs trembled a little, and he slowly half-knelt and handed the tea to Shuang Jing.

Shuang Jing smiled and said, "This is more like a real thing."

He took the cup, took a sip, and immediately spit on the floor in front of Liu Er.

"It's a bit cold."

"You know what? Tea should be drunk while it's hot. If you drink it after this time, it will be hard to drink."

“In life, once an opportunity arises, you must strive for it with all your strength and seize it firmly. Otherwise, if you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life.”

"You should understand this principle, right?"

Liu Er nodded: "Thank you for your advice, sir. I will keep it in mind."

Shuang Jing sneered again: "How can we just remember it? Why don't we clean the floor first?"

Liu Er was stunned again.

Shuang Jing narrowed his eyes and looked down at Liu Er who was half kneeling on the ground: "Why? You are so humble, but you are just worthy of this cleaning job."

"You have to know that many people want this opportunity from you, and they think about it day and night, but there is nothing they can do."

Liu Er nodded repeatedly, a smile on his face: "Yes, Master Shuang is right! I'll wipe it right away."

As he spoke, he bent down and wiped the floor with his sleeves.

Soon, the floor was wiped clean.

Shuang Jing raised his head, laughed, and pointed at Liu Er: "You performed well."

"I'm beginning to like you a little bit."

"alright."

"Now, if you do one more thing, I will help you buy the heavy armor with your quota."

Seeing Shuang Jing finally let go and exhaled a breath, Liu Er hurriedly asked what happened.

Shuang Jing said: "It's very simple. All three of your battalions will be merged into my White Jade Battalion as auxiliary troops. I am particularly optimistic about your military advisor."

"He has a very close relationship with the Red Flower Battalion. You need to persuade your military advisor to join in."

Seeing Liu Er wanted to speak, Shuang Jing immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Of course."

"I just wanted to see how you perform."

"I don't really want you to join us."

"To be honest, if you peasants like me join us, I will have to spend a lot of effort to persuade my generals."

"But since you have surrendered to me, you must show your loyalty."

"If you don't surrender to me, why would I offend Du Tiechuan for you?"

Liu Er fell into silence for a long time.

After a moment, he cupped his hands and bowed deeply: "Master Shuang Jing, my two sworn brothers and I will advance and retreat together. I am confident that I can convince them to come and join you."

"But my military advisor is from a prominent family and has been investing heavily to support the Three Generals Camp."

"The truth is, without him, we wouldn't be where we are today financially."

"Moreover, he fought in the same battle as us, and we already had a deep comradeship."

"If I plot against him, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?"

Shuang Jing sneered: "Liu Er, you should slap yourself in the face! Do you mean that by joining me, you are plotting against Ning Zhuo?"

"Is it such a shame to join my army?"

"You are asked to repay kindness with enmity?"

Liu Er quickly confessed his crime.

Shuang Jing's eyes were cold as he scanned Liu Er's body and said, "Now, I'll give you two choices."

"The first option is that you agree to my last request and do it. Not to mention the heavy armor, I can help you even if you want to serve as an official in the court in the future."

"The second choice is that you reject me. Even though it's a waste of my time and emotions, I won't make things difficult for you. Just slap yourself thirty times, and I'll forgive you. Go back to where you came from."

Liu Er was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his right palm and slapped his cheek hard.

Snap, snap, snap…

He did not stop and slapped himself thirty times, making his cheeks red and swollen and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Shuang Jing snorted coldly, very unhappy: "Just now I thought you were pretty good, but now it seems that you are just so-so."

"You are just a mixed-blood, of lowly origin and humble status, and you still want to have morals?"

"hehe."

“It’s ridiculous!”

"You are not worthy of being under my command. If you continue to live in your humbleness, you will sooner or later regret your stupidity and pay the price."

"Now, get out of here."

"Please allow me to leave!" Liu Er bowed deeply and slowly backed away until he reached the curtain door of the tent. Then he turned around, lifted the curtain, and left the commander's tent.

When Liu Er left, Ning Zhuo realized that the confinement had disappeared.

He immediately pushed the door open and bowed to Shuang Jing: "Master Shuang Jing, why do you have to do this? With your capacity, how could you not accommodate an outsider Jindan?"

Shuang Jing looked at Ning Zhuo deeply: "So, Ning Zhuo, what do you say?"

Ning Zhuo did not hesitate and bowed again: "Excuse me, I will take my leave!"

"Hehe." Shuang Jing sneered three times and pointed at the curtain door. Due to his identity as the son-in-law of General Ning Zhuo, he did not say "get out".

Ning Zhuo left immediately and ran all the way to catch up with Liu Er.

"Master Liu, Master Liu!" Ning Zhuo called anxiously.

Liu Er turned around and saw Ning Zhu chasing him from behind, and his heart suddenly moved.

Ning Zhuo did not hide anything from him and told him about his experience in the Shuangjing tent.

Liu Er laughed: "The military advisor is smart and intelligent, and is more advanced than I thought."

Ning Zhuo sighed deeply: "But Lord Shuang Jing is so high up, looking down on us, and General, you have been humiliated."

"Otherwise." Liu Er shook his head directly, "What does this mean?"

"As Master Shuang Jing said, there are many cultivators who want such an opportunity but cannot. I am very lucky to have such an opportunity."

"It's just that I can't grasp this kind of luck."

“That’s my problem.”

Ning Zhuo also shook his head, held Liu Er's arm, and pleaded, "My Lord, you have been very kind to me, and I will always be grateful!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Liu Er grabbed Ning Zhuo's arm with his other hand and said, "Military Advisor! Although there is a big age gap between you and me, we are close friends. You have made the greatest contribution to the survival of the Three Generals' Camp."

"What I just said was not false, but came from my heart."

"What merit or ability did I have to be chosen by Master Shuang Jing?"

"I am just a hybrid of a human and a demon."

At this point, Liu Er paused and pointed to the distance: "Military Advisor, look at that hilltop. We might as well stop there. Let me explain my feelings to you."

Ning Zhuo naturally would not refuse.

The two of them flew to the nearest hilltop, where they landed on the rocks and took a rest.

Liu Er took out a pot of wine and poured himself a drink. "My father is a demon cultivator, and my mother is a human. I was raised by my mother."

"It was fine at first. The demon blood in me was not obvious."

"I once had the same carefree days as a child, playing and frolicking as usual."

“This was the only bright spot in my childhood, but perhaps that was also why I felt the pain that followed.”

Liu Er took a sip of wine and said, "My former playmates gave me fear, suspicion, and alienation."

"As I grew up, I was met with cold stares, ridicule, and gossip behind my back from my peers. They called me a mixed-blood, a bastard, a half-demon, or a monster."

"I was isolated and had no playmates. When I played alone, I was most afraid of running into people my age from the same village. They would laugh at me and call me a monster, surround me, push me to the ground, and deliberately throw stones at me."

"I once hated my identity so much that I argued with my mother, asking her why she didn't give birth to me as a pure human."

"When I understood some truths, I understood my mother's helplessness. I gradually learned to stay away from the public, avoid the crowds, and protect myself as much as possible."

Liu Er poured Ning Zhuo a glass of wine.

"There is a unique cultivation sect near the mountain village where I live."

“This is the place I’ve always wanted to join.”

"I have a pretty good talent for cultivation, and my mind can be considered flexible. I regard joining the sect as the hope of my life, and I hope to use this opportunity to change my destiny and life, and improve the situation for my mother."

"But it's ridiculous. When the sect started the triennial event to recruit disciples, I didn't even get into the first round."

"The human monk guarding the gate saw me, waved his sleeves, and threw me out."

"I still remember his words clearly - 'How can a hybrid of a demon and a human be worthy of practicing with us?'"

Having said that, Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo, clinked his glass with Ning Zhuo, and drank the wine in the glass.

"I was thrown to the ground, with my face bruised and swollen, and people were mocking and laughing at me everywhere."

“I don’t know how I got up.”

"I wandered in the mountains like a ghost."

"Late at night, my mother found me with disheveled hair and hugged me. But I pushed her down with all my strength, screamed shrilly, pointed my finger at her nose and scolded her, asking why she gave birth to me."

"My mother let me rant until I was exhausted and then she carried me on her back and walked several miles along the mountain road back to our thatched cottage."

Liu Er's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs: "If my mother were still alive, I would definitely honor her well. Unfortunately, I was too ignorant at that time."

Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo and said, "So, Military Advisor, don't worry. I have been ridiculed and mocked since I was a child. What I endured today at Master Shuang Jing's place is nothing."

Ning Zhuo raised his glass and toasted Liu Er: "I see that you are ambitious now, moving forward courageously, with outstanding strength, and treating people with kindness. Such demeanor makes people want to follow you."

"It can be seen that there is a lot of truth in the old saying - when God is about to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and empty, and his actions frustrated, so as to stimulate his heart and endure his nature, and increase his ability to do what he could not do before."

Liu Er laughed: "How could I understand such a truth at that time?"

"Even if an expert came to advise me, I wouldn't listen to a word."

"It wasn't until three years later that a famine occurred, which completely changed me."

"The mountain village was on the verge of collapse due to famine. In order to survive, the villagers chose me as a sacrifice to the gods."

"My mother begged all the villagers on her knees for three days and three nights, but she couldn't get my freedom."

"On the day of the sacrifice, when I was about to be thrown into the fire, my mother rushed over and threw herself into the fire instead of me."

Liu Er paused when he said this.

It is better to be clumsy and silent.

Liu Er took a few deep breaths and continued speaking, his voice becoming hoarse: "But the villagers still didn't let me go and threw me into the fire."

"The gods secretly saved me."

“It turns out that before becoming a god, he was just a sect’s guardian monster. With the support of the sect, he was able to successfully develop incense and become a god.”

"In the past few years, He would mobilize His divine power every once in a while to create famine, so that the sect could reduce the emerging new forces in the local area and reap the wealth of the rich."

"In this way, we can maintain the sect's status, reputation, and interests."

"I prayed to God to resurrect my mother, but He was unwilling. He had no choice, but this time, He was moved by my mother's sacrifice and pitied my identity as a half-demon, so He secretly let me live."

“From then on, I understood everything.”

"In this world, even if a demon cultivator becomes a god, he is just a puppet of others."

"Is there still a paradise for demon cultivators in this world?"

"Even if there is, can a half-blooded half-demon like me be accepted?"

"I left the village secretly, begged for a living, and wandered for many years. I met my master and finally began to practice."

"My horizons gradually broadened, and I discovered to my despair that people in this world all treated demon cultivators and half-demons with contempt and exclusion."

Liu Er looked up at the sky.

The sky is clear and vast.

Then, Ning Zhuo heard Liu Er's excited words.

"Since there is no pure land in this world, let me create it!"

“That’s my ambition.”

"I want to create a pure land where mixed-bloods like me can live freely without being looked down upon, ridiculed, excluded, or suppressed."

“I can dedicate my whole life to this!”

Ning Zhuo was stunned.

Liu Er retracted his gaze and turned to look at Ning Zhuo with a smile on his face: "So, compared with the ambitions I carry, this kind of humiliation is nothing."

Ning Zhuo was stunned and speechless.
