Volume 1 Small Town Turmoil Chapter 13 Rejection
Li Luowu's mood suddenly became complicated at this time.
In the original world, he also read a lot of time-traveling novels in his spare time, and in those novels, the protagonists who crossed over were all actively entering the world, either possessing external bodies to dominate the other world, or they were successful and returned to the beauty. Now that Li Luowu has also come to this different world, the situation is very different, he, Li Luowu, is just an ordinary person, even if he is full of curiosity about this magical world, he will not enter this cultivation path, because he feels that he has no reason to cultivate, and he does not feel that he can meet the standard of cultivation, even if he has, it does not mean that he will embark on the path of cultivation, but at this time, Zhang Rui's expectations made Li Luowu a little embarrassed for a while.
Li Luowu turned his head in Li Qiang's direction and looked at Li Qiang with an intriguing look, and suddenly, his eyes became brighter, and he seemed to have made up his mind.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang, I don't want to wake up. Li Luowu faced Zhang Rui and said.
"Why?"
Hearing Li Luowu's words, Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, and facing Li Luowu's serious face, Zhang Rui realized that the child was not joking, so he asked.
"Because I want to keep the status quo. β
Li Xiaowu's answer was simple and firm. He Li Luowu is just an ordinary person, for a fifteen-year-old boy, especially a teenager from a world without magic power, cultivation, of course, is extremely tempting, but this is not what Li Luowu desires most in his heart.
He lost his parents when he was a child, living alone until now, the only relative he knows is still an unknown distant uncle, he longs to be cared for, loved, but his character is difficult for him to get his wish, a person who has been alone for many years, how to be vigilant and protect himself from time to time? and how to let others understand, to pay attention to, to love?
A year ago, he inexplicably crossed over from the original world and almost lost his life.
But he didn't reject the world because of this, and he didn't want to go back to the original world. Because that accident brought him everything he longed for, he was accepted by the family, and his voluntary sacrifice gave him a sister who opened his heart to him, and an uncle who could be called a father.
For him, this is a home, and living at home is what he wants, so he will not choose to cultivate, even if it is a beginning, that is, awakening, he will not participate.
He came to Zhang Rui just to satisfy his own desire to explore, so that the last bit of doubt about this world would disappear, and now that the doubt was removed, and he understood the awakening, he would not participate in the awakening, because for him, the awakening was equivalent to a risk, a risk that could make him cultivate and leave the status quo.
Although he also had expectations for experiencing an awakening before, but after understanding, because of Zhang Rui's expectations for himself, he gradually resisted the awakening, since he had decided not to take the path of cultivation, then do it thoroughly, and don't participate in the awakening, so as not to regenerate variables. Li Luowu thought so.
And Zhang Rui, who knew nothing, didn't think so, in his opinion, Li Luowu, who was entangled in baptism and demonic energy, was very likely to be a cultivation wizard, and this possibility had even reached nearly ninety percent, and Li Luowu's simple speech only brought him doubts and some anger.
"What kind of reason is this, it's just a tyrannical thing. β
Zhang Rui's brows furrowed, and he just wanted to say this, but his body was held down by a big hand, and the words were swallowed back from his mouth.
"Lao Zhang, if the child doesn't want to, forget it. Li Qiang said that Zhang Rui turned his head when he heard this, facing a face with an inexplicable smile.
"You!"
Zhang Rui sighed: "You two are here to fix me together." β
"If you don't want to wake up, just leave. Zhang Rui waved his hand, and with a turn of his body, he picked up the items in the house.
Li Luowu pursed his lips and looked at Li Qiang, Li Qiang nodded, and Li Luowu left cautiously.
....
"Huh~" Li Luowu, who walked to the door of the house, exhaled deeply, Uncle Zhang seemed to be really angry just now, Li Luowu shook his head, a little helpless.
"But it's just a matter of getting over. Li Luo didn't think of Li Qiang's last move and Zhang Rui's reaction at the end, and he knew in his heart that this matter had passed like this, even if there were variables, Li Qiang would stop it.
"I don't want to, let's go back. Li Luowu shook his head lightly and walked towards the gate.
"Little brother, wait a minute. After going out, the sudden sound behind Li Luowu frightened Li Luowu, he turned to look towards the source of the sound, and saw a short person standing next to the steps of the house, which seemed to be only one meter four in height, so that Li Luowu didn't notice him when he went out.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the man's face, and Li Luowu could see his face clearlyβa wrinkled face, a gray beard, and a kind and gentle smile.
"Uncle,. Is there something wrong?" Li Luowu took a few steps forward and asked, in his past impression, the middle-aged and elderly people in this town all ignored him, but now an old man with a different attitude suddenly appeared, which made Li Luowu a little unaccustomed.
"The mayor asks the little brother to come over. The old man said gently and respectfully.
"Is there something wrong with the mayor?"
"The mayor didn't give me instructions in detail, but only said that there was something important that needed to be discussed with the little brother, and the little brother must go. β
"Something important?" Li Xiaowu frowned, he originally wanted to refuse, but now the matter has not been clarified, and it is an urgent and important matter, so it is difficult for him to refuse in person.
After thinking for a while, Li Luowu replied: "I have to talk to Uncle Qiang about this matter, please wait." β
"Of course, of course, little brother, please go. β
As soon as the old man's words fell, Li Luowu turned around and walked towards the house, but he didn't see the contemptuous smile on the old man's face after he left.
Li Luo was very clear about this matter, and he had to explain it to Li Qiang. When he woke up before, from Li Qiang and Zhang Rui's attitude towards the mayor Wu Yu, it was very likely that there was any contradiction between them, since there was a contradiction, Li Luowu could not have any dealings with the mayor at will, so as not to let Li Qiang have a misunderstanding with him.
Back in the inner room again, Li Qiang and the others were still here, packing up the items in the house.
Seeing that Li Luowu had not returned, Li Qiang was also a little strange, and asked jokingly: "Why did you come back?"
Li Luowu was not in the mood to joke, he told Li Qiang what he had just done, including other thoughts in his heart, and waited quietly for Li Qiang's answer.
"Since people invite you for something important, then you can go. Li Qiang smiled.
"Also, I have some contradictions with the mayor, but this doesn't affect your normal relationship with him, don't look at your Uncle Qiang too flat. Hahaha. β
Hearing such an answer, Li Luowu's heart finally let go, and it did not affect his normal dealings with the mayor, which at least showed that the contradiction between the two was not so deep that it was irreconcilable, and Li Qiang also made it clear that he would not be angry because of this kind of thing, and there would be any misunderstanding.
"Then go ahead, after all, everyone has said that there is something important to look for him. Li Luowu thought so. He said goodbye to Li Qiang, and then left under Li Qiang's gaze.
"Lao Zhang, have a drink with me?" Li Qiang suddenly said to Zhang Rui, who had just been busy packing up his belongings and did not react at all to their conversation.
Zhang Rui stopped and glanced at Li Qiang:
"Let's talk about it when we're done. β
"Haha, good!"
