Chapter 825 - 247: [Old Wang’s Story]
I... lack a sister? I lack family affection?
After that day, once Wang Guishan healed, he stopped going to Jing’an Hall to find the little girl.
He couldn’t understand how things turned out to be like this?
Sister? Brother?
So those years, those ambiguous words, things like serving you for decades, spending a lifetime together.
Siblings?
While eating, she would pull up a small stool and sit next to him, resting her chin in her hands, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him...
Siblings?
Did he misunderstand? Or did she intentionally lead him on?
Was it...
He hadn’t gone to see the little girl for a while, but a few months later, the little girl came to see him.
The little girl told him that the Fourth Elder of Jing’an Hall wanted to take in disciples and was holding a small competition in Jing’an Hall.
After being accepted as a disciple, there would be a chance to compete for the position of Chief Disciple of Jing’an Hall...
And each Chief Disciple of the Outer Sect halls would have the opportunity to compete for a spot in the Inner Sect in the future.
Wang Guishan wanted to tell her: you are someone so untalented that you needed a Spirit Communication Pill just to get into cultivation!!
Chief of the Outer Sect hall? A spot in the Inner Sect?
But he didn’t say it out loud.
The little girl told him to get the Fourth Elder’s favor, he needed to learn some powerful spells to have a chance of winning in the competition.
She wanted to go to the Scripture Library to exchange for some, but... she didn’t have enough merit points or jade coins.
The little girl looked at Wang Guishan with shimmering eyes at the time.
Wang Guishan was silent for a long time.
Then he thought: just one last time.
Consider this the end of the years they have known each other.
Wang Guishan took out all his merit points and jade coins and handed them to the little girl.
The little girl showed disappointment on her face – the amount wasn’t enough, still quite short.
Before she left, Wang Guishan didn’t notice that the little girl looked at the medicine field he was responsible for and hesitated for a while.
·
Two things happened next.
One was that a few days later, the medicine field that Wang Guishan was responsible for was stolen from, and a hundred-year-old ’Heartless Seven-Turn Fruit’ was missing from a celestial plant.
Wang Guishan was held accountable and ordered into the Heart Demon Cave for reflection.
Fortunately, his father, the steward of the Outer Sect, got news and rushed back to the sect from outside, knelt before the elders for an hour, and used some savings to compensate for the loss.
The result was that Wang Guishan was punished for reflection for half a year.
The other thing was that the little junior sister exchanged a sharp and aggressive combat spell in the Scripture Library.
A month later, she got third place in the Jing’an Hall small competition and was accepted into the Fourth Elder’s tutelage as she wished.
·
After half a year of reflection, Wang Guishan was released and rushed to Jing’an Hall immediately!!
He knew very well that he never stole that ’Heartless Seven-Turn Fruit’!
That fruit was only a hundred years old, far from mature!
Moreover, that fruit was a precious herb that his master valued highly. His master had been waiting for years for that fruit to mature to prepare an elixir he desperately needed!
As his master’s disciple, Wang Guishan would never do such a thing!
But...
The person who could enter his room, take away his array token, and enter the medicine field...
When he was held accountable, he said nothing at first, having a rough guess of who it was.
When he was being questioned, he wanted to speak several times but always thought of that little girl who had followed him for miles barefoot, her feet bleeding...
Speaking out would ruin her future.
He had raised her for thirty years!
He wanted to stand in front of her, look her in the eyes, and ask her in person!!
Listen to her answer, watch her facial reactions, see her expression!!
But when he went to Jing’an Hall, he saw...
The girl holding another male disciple’s hand, her eyes seemingly glowing.
He recognized that male disciple, the Second Disciple under the Fourth Elder.
He heard the girl say to that male disciple: "I can finally stand by your side..."
·
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Chen Yan laughed heartily, clapping his hands enthusiastically in praise: "Wonderful! Brilliant!! The simps never end well, and this story is truly delightful!"
Old Wang glared at Chen Yan with a dark expression.
Chen Yan pursed his lips: "Don’t tell me you did nothing, just left sadly, found an empty place to wipe your tears, and since then stayed hidden, licking your wounds but still watching that bitch rise to glory!"
Old Wang rolled his eyes.
