Translator: Mimi
Bai Jingchen spoke sincerely, while the listener Su Wenliang looked at him with a complicated expression. Su Wenliang said with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, “Since you have thrown away the storage bag I gave you, even put on a posture of wanting to make a clean break with me, what are you doing when you say this now? Is it because you suffered a loss outside that you finally realize the benefits this cheap master brought you?”
Hearing this, Bai Jingchen looked at him in a daze, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but finally swallowed it down again. He lowered his head, and his face returned to expressionless.
After a good while, he said with a serious and sincere face, “It’s my fault. I’m willing to be punished. Master, please don’t be angry with me. It’s bad for the body if you get angry.”
Su Wenliang looked at him in surprise, and then said, “I’m annoyed with you. You don’t look at your current morality and conduct. What is there to be worth my anger?” That was what he said, but the anger in his tone. Even Bai Jingchen, who was now in a trance, could hear it clearly.
Bai Jingchen pursed his lips to hold back his smile. He raised his head and said seriously, “Yes, this disciple is self-aware and will never do it again. It’s just...”
He frowned, as a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, then he said tentatively, “Master thinks, can a cultivator use any means for the sake of his cultivation, willfully slaughter the innocent, or even massacre cities and destroy countries, just for his own selfish desires?”
When he asked this question, his eyes were bright. Although Su Wenliang didn’t know why he asked such a question, this question was easy to answer.
He didn’t care much and said, “Of course not. Although cultivators are going against the heavens, if they really do such a thing, they won’t be far from being punished by the heavenly law. A true cultivator should obey the destiny. Although it can’t be said to love all living beings, at least one must have a benevolent heart. As for willfully slaughter the innocent, this kind of behavior of devil cultivator will eventually be punished by the heavenly lightning tribulation when experience the heaven tribulation. Therefore, most of devil cultivators fail at the last hurdle, which is the reason.”
Su Wenliang habitually played the role of master. After he finished explaining, he frowned and asked, “Why are you asking this question? Could it be related to your mad behavior in recent days?”
He looked at Bai Jingchen with displeasure, and thought, ‘Although I don’t care whether the male protagonist Bai Jingchen is crooked, or whether it’s in line with the progress of the plot, I’m unwilling to let the male protagonist change from an upright divine dragon to a villain devil dragon under my teaching.’
The male protagonist was smart and crafty on the road of cultivation, which was good for him. But if he went completely astray, then it was absolutely not okay. Not to mention that the system would punish him, but also because of his conceptual opposition. If Bai Jingchen really willfully slaughter the innocent for his own selfish desires as Bai Jingchen said, what was the difference between him and the devil lord Liang Wensu?
After hearing his words, Bai Jingchen’s heart trembled. He hurriedly lowered his head to cover the chaotic emotions in his eyes. He vaguely realized something, but this was not the time to think about it.
He was still trapped in the corner by Su Wenliang, and was not wearing any clothes. When he was temporarily blind, he didn’t know that Su Wenliang was nearby, so he didn’t care about it. And just now, he was more obsessed with distinguishing the difference between Liang Wensu and Su Wenliang, so he was not aware of this problem.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that his body didn’t cover with clothes, and because he rolled on the ground for quite a while and was still sticking to the wall, his body was covered with black and gray dust, and he looked particularly wretched.
Bai Jingchen suddenly blushed, as he quickly squatted down and picked up the bedsheet from the ground and draped it over his body. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.
When he realized he liked that person one moment ago, and the next moment he appeared in front of the other person in such a wretched look, Bai Jingchen wanted to swear no matter how good-tempered he was.
His face turned red as he gritted his teeth and muttered something. Su Wenliang saw he switched from the crafty beast mode that was about to walk to the devil path to the fresh and blushing little wife mode in an instant. The difference was so big that it was unbelievable.
Seeing that Bai Jingchen had shrunk into a ball and nestled in the corner under his gaze, he couldn’t help chuckling. He turned around to pick up the clothes on the ground and threw it to Bai Jingchen, and said lazily, “When you’re done wear clothes, tell me the reason why you behaved abnormally these days.”
He went straight to the bedside and sat down. From Bai Jingchen’s reaction when he woke up, he realized it wasn’t what he thought that Bai Jingchen drew a clear line with him because he already knew about the little dragon’s affairs.
Because when Bai Jingchen saw him, he didn’t show disgust at all.
He knew Bai Jingchen’s character very well, and knew that although he was smarter than in the plot, he was not a person who was good at hiding emotions.
So, since it wasn’t about this, then what made Bai Jingchen act like this?
Bai Jingchen put on his clothes quickly. Although the clothes were torn to tatters by Su Wenliang, he put it on quickly and wiped the dust on his face with his slightly clean sleeves, and then walked to Su Wenliang, interrupting his thoughts.
Su Wenliang raised his eyes to look at him and said, “Let’s speak from the moment I left the inn. Don’t lie to fool me, because I will judge myself.”
Hearing this, Bai Jingchen wiped the dust on his face again. ‘He is a little nervous.’ Su Wenliang thought in his heart, analyzing his body movements.
But immediately after, Bai Jingchen started talking. He said in a flat tone, “After Master left the inn, this disciple left and went to the Immortal’s Cave rental place in White Horse City to rent a middle-level Immortal’s Cave and meditated to cultivate all night. The next day, I originally planned to go to the competition arena in White Horse City, but...I thought of something halfway, so I turned around and went to another place...”
He paused, and originally wanted to say that he was going to inquire about the Love Snake Parasite, but seeing that Su Wenliang was quite angry at the moment, he didn’t mention this matter, and bypassed it directly.
He said, “I went to Siye Pavilion to check a past event, but inadvertently found the list of Rook Islet World’s four strongest cultivators.”
When he said this, he looked at Su Wenliang’s facial expression, and then said word by word, “I saw a very familiar person in the portraits of these people...Master, maybe you know him too.”
Su Wenliang’s eyebrows were full of vicious currents, and he said with a half-smile, “Oh? Is it? This is your choice?”
Bai Jingchen lowered his head and said in a sincere tone, “I just think that person is familiar, so I immediately checked his life. Therefore, I misunderstood and committed stupid things. I hope Master would punish me.”
Seeing that Su Wenliang was silent, he continued, “However, after this, I slowly realized that although this person was similar to Master, but his personality was completely different. I thought about it and determined it must be my misunderstood. There are thousands of worlds in the cultivation realm, and there are even more people who look similar. This matter is my reckless.”
Su Wenliang pursed his lips and looked at him with a complicated expression. He could hear the meaning of Bai Jingchen’s words and understood what had happened.
However, he couldn’t understand why Bai Jingchen reacted this way?
He opened his mouth to ask this question, but it would expose this matter even more.
Anyway, he and Bai Jingchen were just a temporary benefit relationship, and eventually they would break up. There was no need to say it so clearly. Since everyone understood the secret, and Bai Jingchen had chosen to cover it up for himself, and even made up such an excuse, why should he ask for trouble.
Su Wenliang closed his eyes and said in a nonchalant tone, “Since that’s the case, then I will let this matter go. You threw away the storage bag I prepared for you, so you will be responsible for your own living expenses during these three years. Don’t look for me again.”
Bai Jingchen looked at his indifferent expression, lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes, and said, “Yes, thank you, Master!”
Su Wenliang waved his sleeve and said, “You can go, there are still over ten days before the night of full moon, remember on the night of full moon...” He thought for a while before saying, “Go outside the gate of White Horse City, I will pick you up.”
Bai Jingchen agreed and picked up his storage bag and sword scattered on the ground. He bowed to bid farewell to Su Wenliang, then turned to leave the Immortal’s Cave.
Seeing his retreating back, Su Wenliang knew that Bai Jingchen might be injured again this time, but he didn’t want to bother, as long as he didn’t die.
The little dragon in his belly said in confusion, “Father...ah Father, Father is leaving, Papa, do you...not, like...Father?”
Su Wenliang was shaken when he heard this, and said, “Kid, what do you know? Your father went out to training, and he will come back when the moon is full.”
The little dragon was easy to deal with. After hearing this, he immediately agreed, and then said, “Then...can I...talk to, talk to Father? Papa?”
Su Wenliang pursed his lips and said, “Yeah, but first, you repeat all the words you said to your father last time. I know you have a good memory. Say it.”
The little dragon agreed and then began to repeat it with difficulty. The process was complicated, and the words were intermittent. It was also difficult for Su Wenliang to listen.
But fortunately, Su Wenliang understood what happened. He sighed and said, “Since this is the case, then you should talk to your father and ask him to give you a name, but...don’t tell him I’m your papa. Do you understand?”
The little dragon was puzzled, and asked, “Why?”
“Just don’t, if you say it...” Su Wenliang threatened, “I won’t admit you. I won’t talk to you in the future, nor will you be allowed to talk to your father, made you sleep obediently all the time. Then throw you away after birth.”
Hearing this, the little dragon immediately screamed loudly, and said pitifully, “Then...then I won’t say it, Papa...Papa, don’t throw me away...I, I don’t want to go...in the box, pick up, wa...”
Su Wenliang held his forehead, seemed the warning was a bit too much. He said, “Well, then you just obey, and I will treat you well, got it?”
The little dragon answered with a yes, and then acted cute in Su Wenliang’s mind, resolutely unwilling to be disliked by his papa. He must increase his favorability, so as not to be thrown away by Su Wenliang like his father!
