Chapter 175 The Male Supporting Character Who Avenged His Mistakes (3)
The next day
Changqing didn't practice his skills again.
He told Hong'er that training should be done in moderation, and that one should not blindly push oneself, otherwise, one's body will be injured and efficiency will be affected.
Hong'er nodded as if she understood but not quite.
Half a month passed just like that.
Changqing had been practicing for less than five days.
That day.
Ren Yueying came to check the homework. When she appeared, Changqing was lying on a self-made hanging chair, with grapes, plums and other fruits on a stone table next to him. He was living a very leisurely life.
Just one glance.
Ren Yueying got angry.
"Ren Changqing! Look at yourself! What kind of person are you? Do you still want to avenge your father? How can you face me and your father like this? The enemy is so powerful, yet you don't strive for anything and just lie around! You're so disappointing!"
He immediately launched into a barrage of PUA tactics, but while these methods worked on the original owner, they were less effective on Changqing.
He stood up, bowed, and said, "Mother, the book says that one cannot be impatient for quick results when practicing martial arts, otherwise it is easy to suffer from qi deviation. You don't want my father to remain unavenged while I suffer from qi deviation during my practice, do you?"
ah?
Ren Yueying was stunned.
Is this really something her son said?
She stared at Changqing, her gaze sharp. "You dare to talk back? Your current strength isn't even as good as mine back then. How could you possibly have gone mad from practicing qi deviation?"
Changqing bowed again, his attitude extremely respectful.
“Mother, since you are so powerful, why don’t you avenge Father? Letting the enemy who killed Father live for so many more years, by the time I grow up, he will be old and have enjoyed his whole life. He may already be dying. What’s the point of me seeking revenge? Why don’t you go down the mountain now and kill Bai Tianyi? Then my father can rest in peace.”
Ren Yueying was stunned again.
She went and killed Bai Tianyi? She had never even considered such a thing; the concept was completely foreign to her.
Meeting her son's intense gaze, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Well, it's only natural for a son to avenge his father—"
Changqing asked, "Isn't it wrong for a wife to avenge her husband?"
Ren Yueying was furious and embarrassed. "Ren Changqing! You don't want to practice your skills, so you're just trying to confuse me?"
Changqing shook his head.
"Who said I don't want to practice anymore? I just found that sufficient rest makes me more efficient in my practice."
Having said that, he drew a knife from the weapon rack, and with a swift movement, the blade flashed.
Divine Illumination Blade Technique!
Ren Yueying's face immediately darkened.
"Ren Changqing! Did you even listen to me?! Bai Tianyi used a sword, and it only made sense for you to defeat him with a sword! Why did you use a knife?"
Changqing sheathed his sword, a puzzled expression on his face.
"Mother, my father used a knife. What else can I use to avenge him if not a knife? I'm not Bai Tianyi's son. His son should be the one practicing swordsmanship. After all, his son is the one who will inherit his mantle! His son..."
"shut up!"
Changqing kept mentioning Bai Tianyi's son, which greatly shocked Ren Yueying and reminded her of many unpleasant things.
"Mother, what's wrong? I'm not Bai Tianyi's son. To avenge my father, I naturally have to use a knife..."
"Get out, get out, get out of here!"
Ren Yueying's expression changed drastically, and her aura suddenly erupted, causing Changqing to stagger back several steps.
He gritted his teeth, a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Mother, don't worry, I will use my father's knife to kill Bai Tianyi with my own hands and avenge him!"
Ren Yueying swayed, a sudden pang of pain shooting through her heart.
She usually urged her son to practice martial arts to seek revenge, but she rarely mentioned the name of the target of revenge, usually referring to Baima Manor. Today, Changqing mentioned Bai Tianyi's name countless times and even gritted his teeth, saying that he wanted to kill Bai Tianyi with his own hands. This made Ren Yueying suddenly realize that she was not very able to accept Bai Tianyi's death.
"You, you, do as you please."
She practically fled in panic.
Changqing straightened up, wiped the crimson from the corner of his mouth, his expression neither sad nor happy.
Daytime.
It was indeed a taboo subject in Ren Yueying's heart.
He was somewhat looking forward to it, wondering what kind of expression Ren Yueying would have if he died in front of her during the day.
"Young master, you are injured."
Hong'er ran over.
Changqing shook his head. "I'm fine. My mother was angry just now and accidentally hurt me. Come, come, let me teach you to read again today."
......
Ren Yueying stumbled and rushed into Xiaomugui Valley.
She sat at the table inside the hut, looking at the familiar furnishings, recalling every detail of those years, her heart aching as if being torn apart.
Tianyi, Tianyi, why did you do that to me?
You knew I was pregnant, yet you still hung out with those shady friends!
She screamed inwardly.
Then she thought of her newborn son, who must have died long ago in the hands of those men in black, and her hatred rekindled.
Daytime, you deserve to die.
You deserve to die!
I want to see you die before my eyes, to be buried with our son!
If Changqing saw her like this, he would definitely shake his head and call her a crazy old woman.
It's one thing for this woman to go crazy herself.
It also attempted to influence the original owner, causing a tragedy in the original owner's life.
Of course, Changqing was too lazy to let the system monitor this crazy woman. He didn't want to affect his mood. His goal was to be a sunny and cheerful young man.
Speaking of revenge...
He really thought Ren Yueying should avenge her husband.
After all, it was because of her that the original owner's father went to cause trouble for Bai Tianyi.
After teaching Hong'er to read, he didn't stay at Black Wind Cliff, but instead went to the headquarters of the Demonic Sect.
"Grandpa, I've come to see you."
The dignified old man opened his eyes, saw that it was Changqing, and immediately beamed with joy.
"Oh, Changqing, what brings you here? I heard your mother is very strict with you and has high expectations for your training. Why don't you just move in with your grandfather?"
The old man pulled Changqing over and looked him over from head to toe.
This person is the original owner's grandfather, Wei Bailing, the Grand Elder of the Demonic Sect. His son was able to marry the sect leader's daughter, so his status must be quite high. Now, although Ren Yueying has taken over as sect leader, she does not care about the affairs of the Demonic Sect, so the power has fallen to the elders.
Changqing said sullenly, "My mother won't agree."
Wei Bailing was taken aback, then sighed, "Your mother is a bit too attached to appearances; your father's death has had a huge impact on her."
The members of the Demonic Sect were unaware of Ren Yueying's affair with Bai Tianyi, and simply assumed that her drastic change in personality was due to the death of her newlywed husband.
Changqing couldn't explain this either. After all, he was still young and only knew the plot. No one would believe him if he told them. However, he wasn't here to explain; he was mainly here to strengthen their bond.
The grandfather and grandson then talked for a long time.
Then, Changqing demonstrated the Divine Illumination Saber Technique he had been practicing. Elder Wei was very pleased and said that this saber technique was a very famous one in the sect. He had already grasped some of its essence and his future was limitless.
"However, I'm not good with a knife, you can ask Grandpa Zhao."
Finally, the old man said this.
Changqing didn't hesitate and immediately went to visit Grandpa Zhao, the second elder of the sect and a powerful figure in the sect.
Grandpa Zhao was very surprised after he demonstrated it once.
"Xiao Changqing, you are very talented. Your father didn't have this ability when he was your age."
He even considered taking on apprentices.
Changqing, of course, did not hesitate and immediately became an apprentice. He then received a fine iron sword from Grandpa Zhao and stayed to instruct him on swordsmanship for two hours.
Afterwards, he went to the Third Elder's place and played with the Third Elder's grandson for most of the day.
After the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Elders had all met with Changqing by the afternoon, he leisurely returned to Black Wind Cliff. By then, he already had quite a few gifts from his elders.
These are all good stuff!
It seems I'll need to keep in touch more often in the future.
