Watching Luo Chen’s nostalgia for the past and his enthusiasm for the future, Qin Liangchen feels happiness for him and bitterness for himself.
The world changes over time. White clouds float and dogs age.
He didn’t interrupt Luo Chen’s flow of talk.
He knew Luo Chen had experienced a lot in the past year, especially in the past two days.
The repression of facing life and death, the excitement of re-establishing the Luo Tian Creed.
He realized that Luo Chen needed an outlet.
Such a shame his mood wasn’t that great, else he could have joined in the conversation.
But let it be, listening to him speak a little more, drinking a little more wine might help him sleep better back home.
As for the future?
Why worry so much? At worst, he still has a son with a promising future ahead. It’s worth looking forward to.
“To be honest, I didn’t feel much relief when I killed Gao Tingyuan.”
“The pressure he put on me was far less than the pressure I felt from cheerful Mi Shuhua in everyday life.”
“When I killed him, I just thought to myself, oh, he’s dead.”
Luo Chen drinks a glass of wine and looks at Qin Liangchen expectantly.
“Big Brother Qin, have you ever had any memories after killing a big enemy? How did you feel at the time?”
After considering it for a moment, Qin Liangchen replied.
“I’m not usually the type to make enemies. But if I have to really think about it, I guess I did feel something when I defeated a guy who treated me unfairly in the mountain and crippled both his legs.”
“If I had to be specific, I felt a sense of pride, thinking who else would dare bully me.”
“Unfortunately, there are too many people in this world who can bully me. After a while, I just became indifferent.”
Luo Chen nodded. Is that so?
After that, he chatted away like a chatty old man.
Despite being quite young, no more than thirty.
Qin Liangchen just listened quietly until Luo Chen looked at his hand.
“Haha, Big Brother Qin, your hand…it breaks and heals, seems like you’re destined to be a one-armed hero forever!”
Qin Liangchen felt a pang of sadness and embarrassment. But mostly he was comforted by the normalcy shown by Luo Chen’s lighthearted comment, a lack of discrimination.
He chuckled, “So what if I have one arm? I can still teach you a lesson!”
“Well, let’s see!” Luo Chen said smugly, “After all, I did defeat two experts of the Ninth Level Qi Refinement Order, which is considered defeating stronger opponents.”
Hearing him say that, Qin Liangchen seemed to drift into a daze.
He didn’t witness that fight, but Murong Qinglian had told him about it later.
Luo Chen’s strength was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Just like when Wang Yuan rose to fame, challenging and defeating opponents of higher Orders time after time.
He dominated demonic cultivators of the Ninth Level Qi Refinement Order when he himself was only at the Eighth Level. No wonder Wang Yuan valued Luo Chen so much.
But on careful thought, it all made sense.
Luo Chen’s speed, his innate talent in Technique, his expertise in using Magic Tools – everything suggested potential to defeat opponents of higher Orders.
Suddenly, one sentence brought him back from his reverie.
“Big Brother Qin, do you plan to reattach your hand?”
Qin Liangchen was taken aback. If he could attach his hand again, who wouldn’t want to?
But…
“In a few days, I am planning to visit Steward Miao. Maybe I could get him to give your hand another shot.”
Hope surged in Qin Liangchen’s heart.
But in the end, he could only smile bitterly.
“It’s different from before.”
“On the Dao Debate Platform, even though my hand was broken, the fragmented flesh and blood were still there. That’s why the Yu Ding Sword Sect was able to use a secret technique to reattach it.”
“But this time, my hand is completely destroyed, beyond reattachment.”
Luo Chen shook his head, “No matter what, you can’t leave this right arm empty. It will be a mismatch when you go out with sister-in-law!”
“You sort it out!”
Qin Liangchen was disheartened and didn’t harbor high expectations.
However, he was still touched by Luo Chen’s well-meaning disposition.
“Reattaching your hand is a minor issue, given your outlook, Big Brother Qin. I don’t think you’d let it upset you.”
With a hearty laugh, Luo Chen put down his wine glass and casually took out a box.
“I have something here. You can consider it a gift from me, a reward for assisting in Crescent Valley. Or it might actually be something that belonged to you originally.”
“Would you like to see what it is?”
Qin Liangchen’s interest was piqued, so he took the jade box without a second thought.
He examined the box. Seeing nothing special, he assumed it was some trinket gifted by Luo Chen. After all, Luo Chen didn’t seem to consider it significant.
But when he opened the jade box, he was completely stunned.
After a long while, he muttered three words in disbelief.
“Foundation Establishment Pill!”
“Yes.”
Qin Liangchen quickly raised his head, staring shakily at Luo Chen.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen was casually sipping his wine, peeling Immortal Beans, with his gaze drifting elsewhere. He didn’t glance at all at the pill that was about as large as a longan.
He acted as if he didn’t care at all.
“This… is this a gift for me?”
“Or you could say it was originally yours.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, this Foundation Establishment Pill is the one Mi Shuhua once promised you. Just that a month ago, we made a deal. In exchange for my full commitment to pill refinement for him.”
Luo Chen paused, then chuckled, “You know, the old man likes to play this trick.”
Indeed, Mi Shuhua was fond of this tactic.
He always spouted encouraging words as if it cost him nothing, and occasionally threw out some small favors..
