Yu Shaofeng's first impression of Still Peak was that it was bright and beautiful.

Just like that martial brother of his, whose eyes were bright and colourful, and beautiful beyond measure.

Oh. Martial brother said that they could not use the word 'beautiful' when describing him, nor could they use the word 'enchanting'. Although it was true, these kinds of words could not be spoken out for their Master to hear.

“Why? Does Master care a lot about martial brother being described this way?" The young Yu Shaofeng once asked his martial brother this question, but he was completely confused by the answer he received. 96EVfY

His martial brother pursed his lips, laughed a little oddly, and his expression was as cunning as a fox's. "No. It's just that if someone reminds him like that, some mental hints that he's giving himself will fail. His eyes will be able to see more of the truth, which is something he can't afford at present.”

For a long time, Yu Shaofeng did not understand what his martial brother meant by his words. It was not until later on, after a certain incident occurred that his outlook on life and worldview would be completely overturned. He would finally understand that his master was actually a leader in the art of self-deception.

Still Peak was a very large mountain. But other than his martial brother who forced him to cultivate every day while he ate, drank, played and made merry and still rose in cultivation, he did not find a trace of anyone else. Yu Shaofeng memorized everything his martial brother told him. For example, on Still Peak, regardless of whether it was in cultivation matters, or in personal matters, he was responsible for himself. He did not know what other masters handed down to their disciples, but at the beginning, the number of times he ever saw his master was very pitiful.

On the other hand, he saw his martial brother a lot every day… lStTCd

“Martial brother, when will Master come out of closed door cultivation?” Two months after his arrival in Still Peak, Yu Shaofeng finally summoned up his courage and asked Xue Ling this serious and difficult to answer question.

At that time, Xue Ling was sitting under a tree reading with one of his long legs bent at the knee. He leaned his head back against the knee as though thinking about something. After a long time, Yu Shaofeng finally received this meaningful reply: "Shaofeng, cultivation is timeless. People don't come out of things like closed door cultivation simply because they want to."

“But when martial brother brought me back, didn't he say to the martial uncle at Earth Peak that Master was waiting for me?” His impression of that scene was quite deep. After all, it was because of this remark that Ancestor Thunderbolt's att.i.tude completely changed.

Xue Ling sighed lightly as he looked at the child that had grown quite a bit taller in two short months. "Silly child. Did you actually believe your martial brother's words?" mPK0L

Yu Shaofeng: “…”

System: “… And on that day, the protagonist tasted the cultivation world's cruelty for the first time."

Xue Ling: “Shut up.”

Xue Ling played with a long strand of hair in his hand, his appearance careless. "Shaofeng, the words that I said back then were all spoken in order to s.n.a.t.c.h you from that d.a.m.ned old man's hands! Come here, your martial brother will teach you some facts of life." R2jhoM

Although he thought that there was a great probability that his martial brother was talking nonsense, Yu Shaofeng still obediently went over and sat down, his expression seeming to express that he was earnestly listening. It made Xue Ling want to laugh. "Tell me, martial brother."

Xue Ling shook his head and conveniently smacked this little martial brother of his on the head. He sighed, "Younger martial brother, the world of cultivation is a dangerous place. Not everyone's words are credible. You are not some naïve and innocent child, otherwise you would not be sitting here in front of me now."

Yu Shaofeng nodded his little head in understanding. "I understand martial brother's meaning… But what martial brother said…"
