THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
103: Go Home to Visit
“Tell me everything,” said Jiang Hao as he walked with Cheng Chou towards the outer part of the Broken Cliff.
Xiao Li was the outer sect disciple he had brought along. If anything happens, he should take responsibility.
“Actually... outer sect disciples are required to recite the first chapter of the Hundred Revolutions Heavenly Note in order to stimulate their spiritual roots to interact with spiritual energy. But Young Brother Xiao Li..” Cheng Chou pressed his temple in frustration. “He was very hardworking in other respects, but. he ran away when asked to recite it. He did not care how many times he was punished by his seniors. He always runs away when it's time to read the text. A senior was a little angry at him, so he tried to endure it with a spell, but he could not. He refused to study. No one can hold it. Now, he's hiding.”
Jiang Hao sighed. As someone from the Dragon Clan, it made sense why no one would be able to withstand it in a normal way. However, he did not expect Xiao Li to so refuse to read the text. Is it because he can't read at all?
Under normal circumstances, the seniors would not care about outer sect disciples. However, it was he who chose Xiao Li and brought him to the Broken Heart Cliff. He is his responsibility.
Jiang Hao stopped and looked up as he arrived in front of the outermost mountain of the Heartbroken Cliff.
"Is he there?" “Ya,” says Cheng Chou.
“Call him,” said Jiang Hao.
Cheng Chou looked confused. He hid.
“Say something about food,” says spirit creature. “I'm sure he'll run.”
"Eat time!" yelled Cheng Chou.
Something was passing by at an impossible speed. Jiang Hao sighed and raised his sword.
Bang out!
As he swung it, a small body fell to the ground. Xiao Li no longer looked as malnourished and haggard as before.
He tried to escape. When he saw Jiang Hao staring at him, he did not dare to move.
He was the one who picked him up and brought him here. He can't not obey her.
Jiang Hao felt sorry for the boy when he saw him bow his head in a guilty feeling.
"Hungry?" She asked.
Xiao Li nodded then shook his head.
“Follow me,” said Jiang Hao.
Xiao Li walked behind him with his head lowered.
Cheng Chou was a little surprised. How could he be so obedient in front of Jiang Hao?
The spirit beast leaped onto Xiao Li's shoulder. “Master brought you here? Call me “Kakak”. I can protect you.”
Xiao Li was a little surprised. He pinched the spirit creature's cheek. "You're cute."
“I Uncle Rabbit. You are not polite,” he said firmly. However, he did not let go of his hand.
In the cafeteria, Jiang Hao took Xiao Li to a table and sat down. Cheng Chou also followed.
Jiang Hao asked for food. While being brought to the table, Xiao Li looked at him expectantly. “B-can I eat?” she asked.
Jiang Hao nodded.
Xiao Li ate voraciously. Not a single crumb remains. However, he took the last dessert, wrapped it in a tissue, and put it in his pocket.
“Is it for later?” asked Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was stunned. He recalled the house he had lived in before he was sold to the demon sect.
"How old are they?" asked Jiang Hao.
“Yah.. My father's hair is all white. He was so old that he could not even cut firewood anymore. My mother's vision is not what it used to be. He can't even sew a tear on my shirt. They're very old. They can't even chew properly, but this dessert is soft. They'll love it. When can I go home to visit them?”
Those words made Jiang Hao feel the pain in his heart. How long had it been since his family sold him to the demon sect?
He doesn't even know what he's feeling. The hatred? The hatred? Longing?
Jiang Hao did not hate or hate them. He can't even remember it well. He had invested every ounce of his energy to survive so he did not even stop thinking about his family.
Now that Xiao Li called out his family, even Jiang Hao wanted to go back and inspect the previous house.
However, he did not dare to leave the sect.
The Eternal Sunset Sect, the Heavenly Joy Pavilion, the Heavenly Saint Sect, the Black Sky Sect, and now the Hundred Bone Forest were all watching him. He needs to calm down and think calmly. Besides, is there any point in visiting the house beforehand?
Xiao Li lowered his head. “We can't go back?”
The question brings him back to the real world. Jiang Hao looked at the child in front of him and sighed. It was very difficult to get out of the sect, but it was not impossible.
He took out the textbook of the Hundred Revolutions Heavenly Note and gave it to Xiao Li. “Familiarize yourself with this. If you manage to read the first chapter and enter the first stage of the Life Blood Refining Realm, I will have someone bring you back to your house to visit. I will also buy you delicious food that you can take back.”
"Read this?" Xiao Li put on a gloomy face.
“It depends on you. Do you want to do this to get a chance to go home and visit your parents?” asked Jiang Hao who got up from his seat. “After you understand it and reach the first stage, meet me.”
Jiang Hao turned around and left. Cheng Chou and the spirit beast followed him.
Xiao Li looked at the book. He then took out the dessert he had wrapped. It broke. He ate.
He picked up the book and ran to the place where the outer sect disciples were taught. Everyone was astonished to see him sitting with the others and diligently reciting the text.
The senior glanced at him. “ Junior sister Xiao Li, you will fall asleep again. Stand up and read the text.”
Xiao Li glared at him and stood up.
The seniors are wary of him. They knew he was no ordinary man. Their spells had no effect on him at all.
This time, Xiao Li obeyed their instructions. The seniors breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao collected bubbles. The increase in attributes made him feel peaceful.
However, Xiao Li's words still lingered in his mind. It had been more than ten years since he joined the demon sect. He also wanted to go back and see what was going on with his house.
“Senior brother Jiang, the Xiao Li family sounds very old. By the time he reached the first stage, his parents might.” Cheng Chou was concerned.
After entering the Heavenly Note Sect, they were all exiled from their families, especially those at the very bottom level.
“Young Brother Cheng, please make arrangements to bring him back to his home in a few days,” Jiang Hao said.
Cheng Chou nodded. It seemed like Jiang Hao wanted to send Xiao Li to his house to visit his parents as quickly as possible. It was fine as long as he was motivated to cultivate.
Cheng Chou seemed to have misunderstood something, but Jiang Hao did not save anything further to clarify.
