Li Qi bought some school supplies from the store, rode his bicycle back the way he came, and drove slowly through the tree-lined paths.

When passing through a junction, Li Qi stopped, looked at the scenery of the other road, smiled, turned the front of the car, and walked leisurely along the way with the rain and dew given by summer flowers.

"Whew"

The sound of the wind brushing the leaves attracted Richie, and he parked his car and walked gently into the woods.

The warm sunlight penetrated into the woods through the sparse leaves, illuminating and warming the entire woods, and projecting on the tender green grass, with the occasional crisp birdsong, making Li Qi feel more peaceful.

Li Qi took a breath of relief, walked slowly with the sound, and gently brushed away the falling vines, and a scene of even more intoxicating scenery came into view.

On a large stone sprinkled with sunlight, there is a beautiful girl spinning lightly, her outstretched hands are constantly changing, the long hair of the waterfall, and the long grass green skirt are also fluttering briskly with the rotation, and the movements are as elegant and agile as dance.

What's even more amazing is that the fallen leaves around her also swirl and flutter around the girl as she spins and dances, just like worshipping and following her.

The scene of the warm sun shining on the girl's body, her body as if coated with a halo of light, and the leaves following her like a pilgrimage, made Li Qi feel a delusion, as if he had seen the goddess of nature dancing in the forest, and made him feel sacred and peaceful.

He reclined against a cedar tree, sat on the ground, plucked a dog's tail and held it in his mouth, his hands casually held the back of his head, his feet lazily together, and quietly admired the conversation between the goddess of nature and the forest.

Li Qi closed his eyes and quietly felt, feeling the music played by the summer breeze, the light sound of the water flowing from the river, the crisp chirping of the birds, the duet of green grass and flowers, let the summer breeze soothe and wash.

The wind stopped, the woods fell silent, and the swirling leaves slowly fell back to the earth.

Li Qi opened his eyes and looked at the girl who had also stopped spinning and dancing.

When her long satin-like hair fell down, the girl took a deep breath, then exhaled a milky white mist, calmed her breath and slowly opened her eyes.

"Bang bang!" Li Qi suddenly applauded.

The sudden applause startled the girl, and when she saw the visitor, her surprise instantly turned to joy.

"Brother, when did you come?" said the girl, and with a light leap from the stone, she walked in front of Li Qi.

Seeing his sister Xiaoling, who jumped up to her all of a sudden, Li Qi doted on her forehead with his fingers and said, "It's early, I can't bear to disturb you when I see you practicing so seriously." ”

"Originally, I wanted to come over and give you some guidance, but seeing that you are now practicing 'Stopping the Wind' so well, I still don't want the class to get an axe. Richie gave a thumbs up and praised.

After hearing this, Xiao Ling shook her head shyly and said, "No, brother, you have memorized all the skills you taught me before, which saved me a lot of detours, so I practiced 'stopping the wind' to this level." ”

"Sycophant, but you brother and I, love to listen!" Li Qi grinned and patted Xiaoling's little head.

Xiao Lingjiao stuck out her tongue shyly, and muttered for a while before she said: "Actually, I haven't practiced the martial art of 'stopping the wind' as well as you said, the martial art of 'stopping the wind' is my grandmother's unique martial art, and I am far from mastering the essence of it." Although it may seem like I am controlling the leaves around me at will, as if I am controlling the wind, I can feel that this is just a superficial phenomenon that I am imitating. I could feel that there was a barrier, no matter what, I couldn't break through, I couldn't really control the flow of the wind, and if I was a little anxious, not only could I not control the flow of the wind, but I would also interrupt my martial arts because of it. ”

"It's a pity that my father, mother, and grandfather at home are not martial artists, and those people in my family can't guide you. And you brother and I...... It's also a waste, it's not bad if you don't bother you, alas! Somehow, Richie suddenly blamed himself.

Hearing her brother blaming herself again, Xiao Ling felt a faint pain in her heart, she knew that the incident three years ago had hit her brother too hard, causing him serious physical and mental trauma, and since then she has been avoiding others and has not been able to get out of that shadow.

"Brother...... Xiao Ling's eyes were slightly red, she shook Li Qi's arm, and comforted: "Brother, your injuries will definitely be cured in the future, and then we will cultivate together and become real martial artists together!"

"Okay, okay, I'm about to be shaken apart by you!" Li Qi pinched Xiao Ling's delicate nose lovingly, and pretended to be proud: "Of course, your brother and I are geniuses, now let those turtle grandsons tremble for a while, and after that, I will be cured and reach the peak of martial artists, so that they will be scared when they see me." At that time, our brother and sister stood at the peak of martial arts, to see which one dared to bully our family without long eyes. ”

After saying some vulgar rhetoric, Li Qi was even more of a model Naruto's signature move of Xiao Li, gave a thumbs up, and flashed his big white teeth, causing Xiao Ling to laugh again and again.

"Big idiot!" Xiao Lingjiao smiled, glanced at her brother, and then turned and walked towards the river.

Looking at Xiao Ling's brisk steps, Li Qi smiled slightly, but in an instant, another layer of haze shrouded his eyes.

Can you heal yourself? Almost impossible...... Those birdmen are so vicious, completely shattering my dantian that condensed Wu Yuan, and almost all the meridians of my body were blown off, and now I am not even as good as an ordinary person, I am simply a wasted person.

Richie couldn't help but recall the shadow that made him miserable.

The bullying incident three years ago completely changed Richie's life. With the qualifications to become a martial artist and outstanding talent, he was framed, his body was severely damaged, the dantian meridians in his body were abolished, and he was unable to form and condense Wu Yuan, and he was completely reduced to a wasted person. But the pain that he couldn't get rid of the most was that the brothers who died and were seriously injured in that incident, and who regretted that their reckless impulses killed those brothers, have been struggling with this guilt and pain.

"Richie! Richie! You're such a wasted person! You're so tired of being tired of the neighborhood......

Li Qi lamented, but the next moment, the sadness in his eyes instantly turned to anger, and a wave of hatred and anger filled his mind.

"You dog mongrels, wait for your grandfather, Li Qi and I to become martial artists again, and the day you reach the peak of martial arts is the day of your death. Richie clenched his fists, causing his joints to whiten.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ling, who was washing her little feet by the river, heard Li Qi talking to herself and asked strangely.

"Oh, nothing. Li Qi waved his hand again and again, smiling, "By the way, Xiaoling, at the end of December this year, are you going to the Martial Arts Association to awaken Wu Yuan?"

Xiao Ling nodded, "Well, I may have to follow the people from my family, it seems that I want to represent my family......"

Xiao Ling paused and said reluctantly: "Brother, I don't want to represent my family, I don't like them...... I just want to represent our family. ”

Li Qi knows that the reason why Xiao Ling doesn't like his family is because of himself, or more precisely, because the people in his family look down on him and embarrass him everywhere, which makes Xiao Ling disgusted. This family is the main bloodline of the Li family, the main clansman.

In fact, the clan "Li family" where Li Qi is located has a certain status and weight in the Jiangnan region, and is named one of the eight major families in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that this has nothing to do with Li Qi, since Li Qi's grandfather's generation, three generations of their family have been divided into separate families by the Li family, and as a separate family, their status in the Li family is very low, almost the status of servants of the family, since the grandfather's generation, their own family has always been ridiculed and despised by their own family.

In his own generation, the treatment of his family has improved slightly. Because he and his sister Xiaoling actually used extraordinary martial arts qualifications, they were valued by the top management of the family, and made an exception to include the two of them in their own family.

Maybe he has been suppressed for a long time, his heart is unbalanced, he acts recklessly with his own talent, and offends many people, since he was deposed, the people of his family who dislike him immediately expelled him from his family, and since then, he has made it difficult to exclude himself everywhere.

"Xiao Ling, you listen to your brother's words, obediently stay in your family, make good use of their resources, cultivate well, and become a great martial artist, in the future, our family still needs you to come to Guangzong to show off your ancestors, hehe! flash the dog eyes of those people in this family!" Li Qi smiled and comforted Xiao Ling, he knew that Xiao Ling's talent was better than the original him, and he was valued by his family, and he was a disciple of his family's key training.

Although he was very disgusted with the snobbish and dog-eyed guys in his family, it was undeniable that his family did have a lot of resources that would help Xiao Ling's cultivation. So after weighing it in her heart, for the sake of Xiaoling's future, Li Qi constantly persuaded her to stay in her own family to cultivate, and also called it a beautiful name: Master uses long skills to control her.

Xiao Ling heard her brother's admonition again, so she had to nod obediently and remain silent.

"Well, follow along, when the Martial Arts Association awakens, you will definitely shine and blind the eyes of those people in your own family!" Li Qi laughed sheepishly.

"Brother, you overestimate me too much, the day I go to the Martial Arts Association to awaken, not only the younger generation of our clan, but also many other young elites from this city, when the time comes, I will definitely Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I don't want to awaken any good talent and qualifications, I just want to awaken Wu Yuan, at least I can become an innate martial artist. After all, if you can't awaken Wu Yuan, it's a trivial matter to be ridiculed, but there is only one chance in your life to awaken, and if you fail, you will be characterized as an acquired martial artist. In the future, you can only cultivate Wu Yuan by continuing to cultivate the day after tomorrow, but in that case, the success rate is very low, and it may be difficult to cultivate Wu Yuan for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to break through the stage of martial arts......" Xiao Ling said timidly.

Li Qi patted Xiao Ling's shoulder comfortingly, quietly looking at the stream not far away, and gradually, some past events came to mind like a stream flowing.

Xiao Ling's worries are not unreasonable, awakening is a major life event for everyone who wants to become a martial artist, and it is even more important than the college entrance examination of ordinary people. The opportunity for awakening is once in a lifetime and only once, because the second awakening after is not necessary, and the result is the same as the first. Once a person reaches the age of sixteen, they need to undergo the Martial Yuan Awakening in the Martial Arts Association, and the success of the Martial Yuan Awakening will determine whether they can become an innate martial artist, otherwise they will be characterized as an acquired martial artist. The difference between an innate martial artist and an acquired martial artist is the difference in cultivation qualifications, the difference between heaven and earth, which affects a person's height on the peak of a martial artist.

However, these have nothing to do with Li Qi now, even if his body recovers, heals, and starts to cultivate from the acquired martial artist, but he also misses the best period of cultivation and pays a huge price, Qi Qi may not be able to cross the martial artist stage in his life, and can only stop at the martial arts stage of all sentient beings.

What makes him regret it for the rest of his life is the scars that he has been affected by, the irreparable scars, and the shadows that cannot be escaped.

Alas, hopelessness, remorse......

Many past events echoed in his heart, and all he could respond to now was half a sigh.

After all, the young man's heart is dead, and he is just a walking corpse......
