Luoyun City, Sun Family The rising sun had only emerged halfway when the leaves in the forest still bore obvious dewdrops, but a series of sword-whirring sounds echoed from the mountains behind. 。On the website, it reads: At that moment, a sixteen-year-old boy was seen practicing with a three-inch wooden sword in the forest. The young man’s sword eyebrows were sharp and his eyes bright. Although he wore simple clothes, his expression was solemn and serious as he immersed himself in his sword practice. 。His swordsmanship was merely basic, though his moves were unremarkable, every move and style of the basic swordplay had been practiced to perfection by years of training. 。This year, Sun Bing is a disciple of the Sun family. 。Slashing, thrusting, swordsmanship, sweeping… each move seemingly simple basic sword technique, in Sun Bing's hands seemed to come alive with youthful vigor. Especially the wooden sword in her hand, from its initial wood it had transformed into a pure black, imbued with a heavy historical aura, it must have been used for a very long time. 。After practicing a set of sword techniques, Sun Bing's face turned pale instantly, and her eyes filled with unwillingness: "My aptitude is still not enough. Just one basic sword technique exhausted me. It's so unfair!" 。“As soon as the words left his mouth, the unwilling look on the faces of those who had just been demoted gradually subsided. Having already ascended to a higher position in the court, Sun Bing calculated the time and said softly: “It’s time to receive our monthly salaries again. Better go early, hope today's luck is better.” 。After finishing, he put away the wooden sword and then turned towards the Sun's house. 。The Sun family is one of the three major families in Luoyun Town, dating back two hundred years. They originally made their fortune from medicinal herbs and, by chance, a distant ancestor cultivated a technique, subsequently establishing the family as it stands today. 。It may not sound like much, but Luoyun Town has a population of 100,000 people. Within a radius of a hundred miles, besides the two other major families, there are no other rivals. It can be said to be the emperor of the soil. 。The back mountain wasn't far from the Sun family residence, and before long, Sun Bing had arrived at the grand entrance of their home. The entire gate was crafted from precious rosewood, so valuable that even an ordinary citizen who came into possession of a single piece could live comfortably for several years. 。The doorknob was made of gold and shaped like a ferocious monster. Two precious night pearls were inlaid on either side of the handle, as white as jade; and far away, the golden gate studded with gold shone even brighter under the light. 。A single gate alone is enough to demonstrate the majesty and profoundness of a noble family. This is why the three great families dare to be so ostentatious. If ordinary people were to do the same, even if they had vast wealth, they would still be no match for a cultivator's divine ability. 。Beyond the gate was a spacious courtyard, with trees and flowers planted along the paths for people to admire. However, Sun Bing had no intention of admiring the scenery at this moment. All she wanted was to quickly collect her monthly salary so that she could practice cultivation. 。The monthly salary was distributed in a remote accounting room by Qin Ming, the head clerk, but today the usually unusually quiet accounting room was quite bustling. Although there were many people, they were all orderly and lined up, although there was some light chatter, it was not unpleasant. 。But Sun Bing was completely different from everyone else, like a clear-minded person. Even if others chatted happily, he had nothing to do with them. Even the spaces before and after him were empty, and no one wanted to approach him. 。Sun Bing didn't care about this at all, her eyes were fixed on her nose and mouth, silently waiting. The monthly stipend could be considered a benefit for family disciples. Even if you were the laziest, relying on the monthly stipend issued by the family, you could still guarantee your basic life. 。The team's advance was swift, the officer basically confirmed a person after a glance and issued monthly wages, there was almost no delay. Soon it reached Sun Bing, just as he was about to step forward to receive his wages, someone slowly walked in from the gate. 。I didn't mean to queue up. I ran straight in front of Sun Bing and said nonchalantly, "Take it out!" This attitude could be considered defiant. The surrounding chatter also subsided, but Qin Guan, faced with such a bad attitude, not only didn't show displeasure, but even smiled: "Isn't this Sun Yao? You're here to collect the monthly stipend for the old man again. This is this month's, take a look..." 。After finishing his words, he gave Sun Yao two bottles of elixir and also presented him with dozens of taels of silver. 。But Sun had his nose in the air, he just took his salary and walked away without saying a word. This left Qin only able to smile awkwardly, the people around him forced a smile but held back. 。Even though Sun Yao's attitude was rude, Qin the manager had no way to do anything about it, because Sun Yao's master was none other than Sun Long, the eldest grandson of the Sun family. At this moment, he had already reached the eighth level of tempering and was even about to break through to the ninth level, considered the first genius of the Sun family. The monthly salary of this small sum of money was not taken seriously by him at all, it could even be said that it was a reward given to his servants. 。Qin Guan was helpless against Sun Yao. A fire of anger simmered in his belly, and he couldn't help but look at Sun Bing with displeasure. He casually picked up a couple of silver coins and threw them on the counter, languidly saying, "Here's your monthly salary." 。"Only a few silver coins separated her from the counter, Sun Bing couldn't help but grit her teeth and clench her fists. At the same time, she silently reminded herself: 'This is the tenth year, the 120th time'" 。As for the young generation of the Sun family, their monthly salary was ten taels of silver per person, and a bottle of quenching pill, which was the main part. As for Qin Guan who was in charge, he only gave Sun Bing one tenth of what the others received. 。Don't even talk about a bottle of elixirs, not even one. This is completely different from the previous Sun Yao. You have to know that Sun Yao was only someone else's subordinate. 。tsk tsk, didn't expect Sun Bing to still have the face to stay, even having the courage to come and collect her salary, hehe, what a waste 。"Yeah, I really don't understand why we have to keep him around. He's just a servant after all." 。Waves of laughter surrounded him, which made Wang Hong grit his teeth even harder, his nails digging into his flesh. The pain actually made him feel more alert. 。For ten years, this scene has played out a hundred and twenty times. Every time I collect my salary, I'm ridiculed. 。But Sun Bing didn't allow herself to be intimidated by the ridicule of others. Facing the sneering expressions around her, she silently told herself: "Know shame and then be brave. Remember every word of mockery you hear today." 。"Alright, Qin Manager, pay him his monthly salary." 。Suddenly, a tall man walked in. 。Past the age of ten, she resembled jade. Though her face was full of allure, it was also serious and cold, like a gust of winter wind. These two contrasting qualities intertwined, drawing all eyes upon her as soon as she entered. 。"Unexpectedly, Miss came here. It seems she has reached the ninth level of cultivation, not only beautiful in appearance but also outstanding in talent." 。How did you get here today?”
“I don’t know, maybe to pick up some elixir.” 。"Yes, Miss Sun Yanran" 。As for the young lady's command, Qin Guan didn't dare to refuse at all. After bowing, he took out ten taels of silver. 。He casually tossed it into the cabinet, his face full of mockery. And whether intentionally or unintentionally, he still left a vial of elixir behind. 。Sun Bing didn't engage in verbal sparring. Over the past decade, he had tried all sorts of methods one hundred and twenty times, to no avail. Finally, Sun Bing realized that only power was the right path. Now, what he had to do was endure hardship and cultivate his strength. 。Having finished counting her monthly allowance, Sun Bing did not utter a word. She turned and walked towards the door, disappearing from everyone's sight in a short while. 。In the back courtyard, Sun Bing seemed to have foreseen this and carefully hid the gold coins. 。After a while, three young men walked over leisurely. Sun Bing was still expressionless, even though he knew the people in front of him quite well and knew what would happen next, he seemed indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him, watching quietly. 。"Hey, I heard you got your monthly salary today, huh? Come out here!" Sun Yang said in a mocking tone. 。"Yes, I heard it was the young lady who helped to save the day. What a fool he is!" 。Son Yong also sarcastically said: 。Just stop talking nonsense and get to the point. 。Sun Ce's words were sharp and forceful. 。Three men rushed forward and beat Sun Bing mercilessly. Their fists pounded relentlessly on Sun Bing's body, while they incessantly taunted him: "What's the point of this charade? Just hand over your monthly pay and be done with it! Would it kill you to do so?" 。It's okay if "" and " " don't come out. It's a good thing that I can vent once a month, and it really helps my mental health. 。These words made Wang grind his teeth, his eyes fixed on the three people in front of him, memorizing their faces deeply. 。After a long while, seeing the three patted their hands and nodded in satisfaction: “Alright, let's stop here for today. If we continue fighting, who knows if someone might get killed? That wouldn't be good, after all, he is still the clan leader’s adopted son.” 。After saying that, he left. 。In contrast to Sun Bing, he was currently a pitiful sight. His tattered garment looked more like rags and was covered in patches of blue and purple bruises. He even had blood trickling from the corner of his... 。He stiffened for a moment, even his willpower couldn't help but gasp in shock. His whole body ached, making Sun Bing silently vow: "Sun Yang, Sun Yong, Sun Ce, I have remembered the humiliation of the past ten years!" 。One day, I will repay tenfold or a hundredfold. 。After a while, Sun Bing managed to endure the pain, put away the ten taels of silver, and walked slowly towards her residence. 。Over the past decade, he wasn't without resistance, but as an ordinary and frail person, he was completely no match for the opponent, even being beaten more severely. 。And when he was beaten, even if he made any extra noises of pain, he could justify the reason for being beaten. From that moment on, Sun Bing understood that this world was ultimately a world where fists spoke, and only cultivators could get revenge. 。From then on, Wang Hong knew he had to bear it, enduring hardship and waiting for his chance. But in his mind, he firmly remembered those ten years, those 120 times... 。/46/4ml |
