Chapter 8: Helping Hands
Chapter 8: Helping
Lei Wuchen looked at Qing'er's clear and bright eyes, didn't say anything, just moved his gaze elsewhere, he knew that if it wasn't for the battle last night, the future of the Lei family would have to be fought by himself, but now that he has become like this, what ability does he have to take over the Lei family.
"What do you want?", Qing'er asked in surprise as she looked at Lei Wuchen's sad face.
"It's nothing", Lei Wuchen came to his senses, and then asked, "Didn't Daddy arrange homework for you today?"
"It's arranged, it's to review and practice the exercises learned a few days ago," Qing'er lowered her head and whispered.
"Then why don't you hurry up and practice, if Daddy knows that you are lazy again, maybe you won't have lunch anymore"
"I've mastered the Thunderstorm Butterfly Turning Technique, so I don't need to practice it anymore, but Daddy still has to let me practice", Speaking of this, Qing'er turned her head angrily to look aside.
"Since Daddy still asked you to practice, it means that you haven't reached the standard yet, like you, can you meet that person?"
"I believe that I will definitely be able to meet the person who fights against the spirit warrior, don't worry about it, I'm bored alone in the past few days when you've been gone, so I just want to see you, I didn't expect you to treat me like this, hmph, I don't want to pay attention to you", Qing'er said angrily.
Looking at Qing'er's slightly red cheeks, Lei Wuchen smiled helplessly and said, "It's me who blames you, my brother accompanies you to walk around the street, how about it?"
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
Jiuzhou City is located in the center of the heavenly region, there are many people coming and going, and it is also the most prosperous city, and the streets at this time are full of people coming and going, very lively.
"Lei Wuchen, I want to eat this, and this, yes, yes, and that red one"
On the path along the street, Lei Wuchen followed behind Qing'er, watching her eat this and buy that, very helpless, and his heart was full of sorrow, but looking at Qing'er's happy smile, the sadness in his heart seemed to be much less.
"Beat me, fight to the death, do you think we can let you go if you come to Jiuzhou City?"
Suddenly, a sound of shouting and scolding came from an alley, which was also mixed with the sound of pleading, hearing the sound, Lei Wuchen hurriedly stopped, followed the sound and walked towards the alley, only to see four people of the same age as Lei Wuchen, punching and kicking around a person.
"Stop"
Hearing the shout, the four people stopped, turned to Lei Wuchen, and said to the tallest of them, "Boy, you want to meddle in our affairs, right?"
Lei Wuchen looked at the four people, his face was cold, he could see that these four people were all people who practiced the exercises, if the root of their own body was still there, the four of them would not be afraid at all, but now he was just an ordinary person with no skills, if he fought with them, there was almost no chance of winning.
"What kind of cultivator are you four bullying one?"
"What does it matter to you what a few of us do, Ah Liu, stand up, go and spit in his face, and tell him not to meddle in his business", the leader of the man looked at Ah Liu curled up on the ground, holding his head in his hands, motionless, then kicked it and said sharply: "Go quickly"
"I... I'm not going..."
"What did you say?", the leader kicked Ah Liu in the abdomen a few more times.
"I'll let you stop", Lei Wuchen clenched his fists and roared angrily, then got up and quickly rushed towards the person in charge, but at the moment of punching, only to hear a 'clang', Lei Wuchen's figure had been knocked away a few steps away, slamming into the wall, and at the moment of landing, a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth.
"I originally thought you were very powerful, but it turned out that you were just a waste that couldn't be cultivated, just like this waste", the man at the head said, kicked Ah Liu against the wall, and spat on Ah Liu's face with a "phew", and then walked out of the alley.
Lei Wuchen clutched his chest, leaned against the wall and stood up tremblingly, his body, which had not yet healed, coupled with this blow, only made him feel a sharp pain all over his body as if he had been cut by a knife.
"Lei Wuchen", Qing'er, who was looking around, suddenly saw the injured Lei Wuchen, threw something in his hand, and hurriedly ran towards him.
"Qing'er, stop chasing", Lei Wuchen grabbed Qing'er, who wanted to rush towards the four people who were leaving, and said weakly.
"How are you?", Qing'er asked anxiously, wiping the blood from the corner of Lei Wuchen's mouth.
"I'm fine, don't tell my dad when I go back", Lei Wuchen smiled slightly, turned his eyes to look at Ah Liu, Ah Liu also looked up at him, his eyes were full of gratitude, and then hurriedly got up and ran away.
"You're all like this, why don't you tell Daddy, let Daddy catch those people, and then teach them a hard lesson."
"It's nothing, besides, Daddy has his own business to do, so don't bother Daddy", Lei Wuchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked towards the street.
On the way back, Qing'er followed behind Lei Wuchen, bowed her head and was silent, and after a long time, Qing'er suddenly asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing Qing'er's voice, Lei Wuchen stopped, turned his head to look at Qing'er, smiled slightly, and said, "What can I hide from you?"
"With your martial arts realm, it is impossible to be so seriously injured, and I can't feel the aura in your body, it's definitely not that my realm can't reach it, it must be that you have something to hide from me?"
Lei Wuchen looked at Qing'er's serious expression, shook his head helplessly, and explained: "If you break through the Beginner Martial Artist Half Realm and cultivate the Thunderstorm Butterfly to the third layer, you will definitely be able to perceive it."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, when have I ever deceived you," Lei Wuchen said with a shrug.
"That's what you said, if you let me know that you have something to hide from me, hmph, I'll never pay attention to you again"
"How dare I deceive Qing'er you, let's go back now, if you let Daddy know that you don't practice the Fa, you sneak out, and buy so much food, see how Daddy teaches you"
"Then let's go," Qing'er muttered as she stuffed everything in her mouth into her mouth.
In the afternoon martial arts training ground, there are still many disciples practicing, and the annual ranking competition is about to start, and everyone wants to show their strength on the field, achieve a good ranking, and practice more advanced exercises.
Lei Wuchen stood in a corner of the martial arts training ground, looking at the people on the martial arts field, his eyes showed endless envy, the incident in the morning had been lingering in his mind.
"Is a person who doesn't have the strength to cultivate really a waste?", Lei Wuchen looked down at his powerless hands and asked himself.
After a long time, Lei Wuchen turned around and walked outside the door of Lei's house, he didn't know what he should do now, and he didn't know what would change in the future, what he could do now was to find a place and tell him the answer he wanted.
