Shui Qinghan is Shui Qingrou's brother.

Their mother died of complications during childbirth of Shui Qingrou, and their father, the best hunter in the village, became depressed and turned into a lazy drunkard.

A few years later, their alcoholic father had a fight with an alcoholic from the next village, and both fell into the river and became water ghosts...

From then on, the two siblings, who were less than ten years old, began to depend on each other and lived a very difficult life.

The carefree childhood of others was, for the brother and sister, a long and thrilling journey...

As an older brother, Shui Qinghan has always protected his younger sister since she was a child. Although he himself is very ordinary, he will stand in front of his sister without hesitation when facing any danger.

When he was a child, he committed many petty thefts in order to survive, and was beaten countless times, but he endured it all by himself.

for example.

When the owner of the sweet potato field chased him with a stick, he would desperately hold on to the other's legs to buy time for his sister, who was holding the sweet potatoes and had mud on her face, to escape, while he himself was beaten to a pulp.

For example.

When the vicious dog guarding the fruit pounced on him with bared fangs and claws, he would resolutely protect his terrified sister under his body, and then his buttocks would be torn off by the dog's teeth with several pieces of bloody cloth...

He even once took a hatchet and hacked to death an old bachelor who was trying to molest his sister while yelling "I'm ugly, but I'm a dog under the quilt." At that time, he was only twelve years old...

He did these things not because of a promise to his parents, nor because of his so-called obligation as an older brother, but simply because... he was used to it.

The brother protects his sister.

It has been like this since childhood.

He's used to it!!

But now, he suddenly realized that his sister no longer needed his protection.

yes.

She is now a disciple of the Supreme Elder and has the strongest backing, so no one dares to bully her.

Moreover, she has awakened a mysterious physique and is about to soar into the sky, leaving her mediocre brother far behind.

even……

With my sister's current beauty, even the beauty protectors surrounding her are better than him!

His sister finally got her happy ending after all the hardship she had suffered, and he was actually very happy, but it was a pity... there was no place for him by his sister's side anymore.

It wasn't that his sister had changed.

The sister is still the same sister, and she still respects him as her brother, but he can no longer protect her.

If there is any danger in the future, he will no longer be qualified to stand in front of his sister, and his sister will even stand in front of him.

In this way.

The habit he developed since childhood seemed to be of no use anymore, and might even become a joke!

It’s like a father who has worked hard to raise a daughter who works in the city, and this is his pride.

However, when he went to visit his daughter with the old hen, facing his daughter's well-dressed friends and looking at his own muddy shoes and pants, he suddenly realized... he had embarrassed his daughter.

He is unwilling!!

Protecting his sister has long become the meaning of his life. If his sister no longer needs his protection, what is the meaning of his life!

"Haha, maybe, I should try there."

He took a deep breath and said to himself, "I was afraid of death before because I couldn't let go of Qingrou and was afraid that she would be helpless."

"Now, she doesn't need me to worry about her anymore, so what do I have to be afraid of? Instead of living a mediocre life, I might as well give it a try!"

In fact, he has always had a secret in his heart.

Ever since he joined the Seven Martial Sect, there has been a faint voice calling him, but he couldn't hear what it was saying.

After half a month of searching, he finally found the source of the sound, which was a very hidden sinkhole.

Standing outside the tiankeng, he finally heard clearly what the voice said - there was an old man at the bottom of the tiankeng, asking him to go down!

The pit was bottomless and pitch black, as if it could swallow up one's soul, so he naturally didn't dare to go down.

This could be a great opportunity.

But it can also be deadly!

The last time his sister was humiliated by the followers of Wu Xiu, a disciple of Glory, he was so angry that he almost fell into the tiankeng. However, Qin Zi later took strong action and upheld justice for the brother and sister, so he gave up the idea.

And now, he is ready to go down and take a look.

If it was a fatal trap, he would just die. Anyway, he has nothing to worry about now.

And if it is a great opportunity, then he will be able to rise up and have the power to protect his sister again!!

“It’s a fight of life or death!”

He took a deep breath, then walked outside with a determined look on his face, feeling quite tragic and heroic.

"Senior Brother Shui Qinghan."

"Hey, good morning, Senior Brother Shui."

"Brother Shui, I want to open a higher point..."

Along the way, many disciples greeted Shui Qinghan politely when they saw him, and even the inner disciples called him "Senior Brother".

As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper.

Now Shui Qingrou has risen to prominence and her status in the sect has skyrocketed. As Shui Qingrou's brother, Shui Qinghan has naturally benefited from it as well.

However, Shui Qinghan ignored all these words of flattery and walked away without even looking back.

If it were an ordinary day, he would naturally not be so arrogant. On the contrary, he understands the ways of the world and can bend and stretch himself on weekdays.

It was precisely because he could endure what ordinary people could not endure that he was able to raise his sister safely despite being helpless.

But today, he didn't want to pay attention to these people, because... if he just said hello to them, or smiled, wouldn't all this tragic aura be lost?

He knew that if this "brave man never returns" momentum was lost, he would most likely give up...

Soon, Shui Qinghan walked away.

The few people who greeted him were embarrassed for a moment, and then began to cover up their embarrassment with sarcasm.

"Haha, Shui Qinghan is now in great glory. He is really different now. He doesn't even take us seriously anymore."

"Tsk! Why are you so arrogant? He just relied on his sister. Besides, his sister just got lucky. She didn't get to the top by her own strength. What is there to be proud of..."

"That's right. What you get by luck, you will lose by strength sooner or later. Even though his sister's status has risen greatly now, it's still hard to say what she will be like in the future."

"Yes, I heard that some special physiques are just for show. If you don't practice well, you will still be like everyone else."

Shui Qinghan naturally couldn't hear these discussions, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

He had long seen through the ugliness of human nature. It made no difference whether it was hidden or revealed.

But in most cases, he would use his wisdom to prevent these ugliness from being revealed.

If I praise you, you will feel embarrassed to do despicable things.

When I praise you, you have no choice but to respond with a smile.

If I act weaker than you and show that I admire you, you will definitely become a helpful person.

What doesn't he understand?

Although he had mediocre talent and behaved incompetently, was it really that easy for a man who had to raise his younger sister at the age of ten to survive in such a dangerous world?

Some people are like hidden dragons in the abyss.

They can remain dormant for many years in obscurity, and if they are unlucky, their entire lives may pass by in silence.

However, as long as there is just a little bit of chance, they will definitely climb up and soar into the sky!
