Chapter 37 I don't think your father dislikes you because of your waste
‘Is this why the system asked me to come here to help? Could it be that Lifu City, which is the protagonist’s template, will help me somewhere in the future?’
After coming to this conclusion, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt that the person in front of him was much more handsome.
Fang Qiuyao on the side suddenly burst into tears after hearing the story of Lifu City. Especially the look in his and Tang Tinshuang's eyes when they looked at each other made Fang Qiuyao feel that this kind of love is so beautiful.
But when she thought of her senior brother's words, "Only fools and fools believe such stories," Fang Qiuyao held back her tears again.
Jiang Beiran naturally saw Fang Qiuyao's performance. He chuckled in his heart and said to Lifu City: "So Brother Li came all the way to make achievements in a foreign country and prove himself?"
After hearing this, Lifu City clenched his fist and nodded vigorously: "That's right! I want to make those who used to look down on me look at me with admiration!"
'It's okay to be impressed...'
Jiang Beiran thought that this man was the son of the leader of the Demon Cult, shouldn't he make those who looked down on him pay the price? His words sounded like those of a good student.
But as soon as Lifu City finished speaking, he suddenly lost his temper and said with a somewhat depressed expression: "But now I can't even defeat those country boys just now, so why do I talk about making contributions? Alas..."
Seeing Li Fucheng take the initiative to bring it up, Jiang Beiran took advantage of the situation and asked, "I wonder how Brother Li and those thieves came to conflict?"
After hearing Jiang Beiran's question, before Lifu Cheng could speak, another girl behind him said: "That's all my fault..."
But Tang Tingshuang immediately shook his head and said, "Mei Ni, that's not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself."
The girl called Ni Mei first glanced at Lifu City, and after seeing the latter nodding, she said to Jiang Beiran: "It's like this. I passed by a field that day and found a few gangsters bullying an old farmer.
I couldn't stand it, so I gave those two scoundrels a lesson. I didn't remember it later. Who knew they actually called helpers to ambush us halfway? If it weren't for Brother Wang and you guys, I would have really lost my mind.
Big mistake."
'Taught...the two scoundrels a lesson!?'
Jiang Beiran was stunned, are you doing this worthy of the title of disciple of your demon sect!?
After complaining in his heart, Jiang Beiran suddenly realized it again.
'I was born in a cult, but I do things openly and do good things. I am indeed the template for the protagonist!'
Confirming his thoughts again, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and said to Lifu City: "Maybe Brother Li, your father is not as cold as you think."
"Ah?" Lifu Cheng looked confused, and he didn't understand why the fifth brother in front of him, who had never met his father before, suddenly said this.
Jiang Beiran looked at Li Fucheng and the five companions behind him one by one and said: "If I guess correctly, this is not the first time that you have been targeted by thieves for helping, right?"
"This..." Lifu City hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes."
"Then answer me a question first. Is this the first time Brother Li and your companions have gone on such a far journey?"
"Yes, we all grew up in the mountain teachings. We practice hard every day and rarely go out."
"Then do you think that all of you can safely travel from Huainan to Jiangbei when it is your first time to travel far away? Do you really think you are strong enough on your own?"
This sentence made Lifu City feel like it was struck by lightning, and it suddenly made sense of many "weird things" encountered on the road.
"Third Uncle! Third Uncle must be following us!
'ha?"
Lifu City's answer almost made Jiang Beiran's back. He originally thought that Lifu City would be the first to think that his father was protecting him, but he didn't expect that a third uncle would pop up.
"Who is this third uncle?"
After hearing this, Lifu City suddenly looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, "Third Uncle...Third Uncle is the only person in the entire sect who is still nice to me."
After saying that, he pondered over his emotions for a while before continuing: "After knowing that I was a waste in cultivation, my father quickly gave up on me completely and distributed all the cultivation resources that originally belonged to me to other brothers and sisters."
"However, my third uncle has been encouraging me. Not only did he teach me to practice kung fu every night, he also gave me a lot of medicinal materials in the hope of changing my physique. Unfortunately, I was so unsatisfied that I still made no progress after studying for a long time. But my third uncle still didn't make any progress.
Not only did he not dislike me at all, but he collected various exercises for me and let me try them one by one. Usually when I was laughed at by the church members, Third Uncle would also help me teach them a lesson, and, and, Third Uncle...
…”
Listening to Lifu City talking more and more, and getting more and more excited as he talked, Jiang Beiran's expression became more and more strange, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Who are you, this third uncle? Why are you so nice to you?"
"Ah?" Lifu Cheng was suddenly interrupted and replied: "The third uncle is my father's younger brother. He watched me grow up and has always taken good care of me and my mother. Speaking of which, my mother
She was also implicated by me, because I couldn’t practice, so she was also left out by my father, alas..."
"Hey! Wait, wait! I don't know where to start complaining!"
The more Lifu City talked, the more Jiang Beiran felt that his leader father had a green head. He even felt that the reason why his leader father disliked him was probably not because he was useless...
Seeing Lifu City continuing to recall how his third uncle took care of the two of them in the past, three options suddenly popped up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.
[Option 1: Remind Lifu City to think carefully about why Uncle San is so kind to him. Completion reward: Maha Finger (prefecture-level mid-grade)]
[Option 2: Continue listening silently. Completion reward: Golden Bell Technique (top grade Xuan level)]
[Option 3: Follow along and praise Uncle San as a good person. Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
'Depend on!'
Jiang Beiran, who knew he couldn't continue listening, quickly selected the third one, and then interrupted Lifu Chengdao: "It sounds like your third uncle is indeed a very good man."
After saying that, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said, "Actually, I am just like you, born with a constitution that cannot be cultivated, but I have an uncle who has always taken good care of me. Without him, I would have died long ago."
After speaking, Jiang Beiran also told one touching story after another around his "uncle". Anyway, the core meaning is to express that all uncles in the world are like this, so you must not overthink it.
It wasn't until the system prompted [Optional mission completed, reward: Poison +1] that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before Lifu City could react, the five junior sisters around Jiang Beiran couldn't bear it any longer. Fang Qiuyao, who was already in tears, said in a hoarse voice: "Senior... senior brother, I didn't expect that you have lived such a difficult life in these years."
At the same time, they also understood why their senior brother was so powerful but unknown within the sect. It turned out to be because he was born with a useless body and was unable to practice at all.
