Chapter 176: Chapter 110: Protagonist Template? It Seems Like I Misjudged_3
He hurled a punch towards the head of the sword cultivator in front of him.
[Bang!!!]
A somewhat muffled sound suddenly erupted.
And the sword cultivator’s head, at this moment, burst open like a cracked watermelon, splattering in all directions.
Luo Changfeng retreated a distance.
After avoiding the range of the blood splatter, he returned to where he had been standing before.
Silently, he raised his blood-stained right hand.
His expression somewhat calm, he asked in a low voice to the empty space on his right, “The Zhao Family, one of the Five Great Families of East Earth Town, is there such a family?”
Following Luo Changfeng’s voice, the old butler Luo Dong suddenly appeared.
He carefully wiped his master’s bloodied, gaunt right hand with a piece of white silk as he held it.
Not until it was wiped completely clean,
did Luo Dong reply in a low voice, “The Zhao Family, one of the Five Great Families of East Earth Town, is a clan power that has risen rapidly in the last two or three months. The strongest person in their clan has only reached Bone Refinement Perfection, and is still just a newcomer to that level of cultivation…”
“I see.”
Luo Changfeng silently nodded his head, then, as if he had thought of something, he said to the old butler Luo Dong in a low voice, “This Zhao Family, I find them displeasing. Arrange to have them exterminated. And there’s another matter that requires your attention…”
Luo Dong bowed his head slightly and asked in a low voice, “Master, what is it?”
Luo Changfeng said calmly, “People of the Luo Family, no matter who they are, no matter how talented, must not suffer such humiliation. If a member of the Luo Family Clan is subjected to such humiliation and the Luo Family does nothing, would that not be a loss of face for our family?”
At Luo Changfeng’s words,
The already slightly stooped Luo Dong bent even lower.
A hint of apology appeared on his somewhat aged face, “Master, it is my negligence that has caused this. It will not happen a second time…”
Luo Changfeng nodded and said softly, “Very well, then proceed with the arrangements!”
…
After their exchange,
Luo Dong gradually left.
At this time, by the side of a century-old tree, in a rather open area,
only Luo Changfeng and the young child Luo Ze remained.
“How long have you been swinging the Radiant Sword?”
“I see your body is trembling slightly…”
“Aren’t you tired?”
Luo Changfeng stepped forward, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the little guy Luo Ze just clenched his teeth and did not answer.
“You must have heard what that sword cultivator said, right?”
“He said your talent in the Sword Dao is quite mediocre.”
“You are still young, and if you switch to practicing something else…”
“There’s still time!!!”
Several moments later, Luo Changfeng spoke again.
But this time,
Luo Ze did not continue to maintain his silence.
He slowly put down the wooden sword in his hands.
His knees buckled, and he collapsed directly onto the ground, panting heavily.
“Great Ancestor, it doesn’t matter, I’m not afraid of hardship, nor am I afraid of getting tired…”
Luo Changfeng said with some surprise, “Oh? You know me?”
The little guy looked at Luo Changfeng with a rather strange expression.
It wasn’t that his talent was lacking,
but it certainly didn’t mean there was something wrong with his mind.
Someone to whom the old butler Luo Dong showed such respect, clothed in white, with countless silver hairs,
Slim in figure, but exuding an air of immortal elegance,
Other than their Luo Family’s great ancestor, who else could it be?
“Tch, it’s fine, no need to say it…”
Luo Changfeng nodded his head, and after a moment of silence, he asked once more, “One last question, why are you so obsessed with the Sword Dao? Why must you practice the sword?”
The little guy Luo Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and gazed up at the azure sky.
After some contemplation, he gave an uncertain answer, “Probably because I like it…”
“Like it?”
Upon hearing this response, a hint of surprise flashed across Luo Changfeng’s eyes.
However, this surprise
lingered only for the duration of a breath.
“Alright, I understand.”
Having received the answer, Luo Changfeng turned away and walked silently toward the distance.
As he walked, he suddenly stopped.
Turning his head again, he looked back at the little guy Luo Ze collapsed on the ground and said, “I believe you should know this: the world is not a kind place. Survival of the fittest is this world’s eternal law. Even within the family, it is the same.”
“Those with better talents receive more resources from the family while those with lesser talents are gradually arranged to take care of the family’s industries.”
“So, you can surely forget about having a Sword Dao teacher in the future.”
“You will still be able to enjoy the basic benefits from the family, and the family will protect and nurture your growth.”
“The Library Pavilion of the family, I can make an exception and let you come and go as you please.”
“But if you want more resources…”
“I’m afraid that’s a bit unlikely.”
“Unless, you can prove your own abilities.”
After speaking, Luo Changfeng walked away silently,
gradually disappearing from Luo Ze’s line of sight.
At this time, having heard his great ancestor’s words,
Luo Ze couldn’t help but silently close his eyes.
The great ancestor was right.
The world was not as wonderful as he had imagined.
An orphan whose parents both died, he was able to grow up smoothly to this point
because he relied on the Luo Family, a behemoth.
Now, his talents were gradually becoming evident.
His mediocrity in talent was increasingly coming to the attention of the clan.
In the future, he naturally would have no right to use more of the family’s resources.
What he had now was already enough.
