The garden in front of the Sima family's meeting hall.

Sima Huai, the fourth son, wandered up and down on the steps by the flower garden, and finally saw the second son Sima Shen coming from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him: "Second brother, the younger brother heard that you returned from the army, so he specially rushed back to Jingdu, and prepared a banquet in Xiangyulou at night, one for the second brother to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the other to celebrate the second brother's cultivation for the great progress and breakthrough of the foundation ......"

"Tell me directly, my father is still waiting for me in the hall to discuss matters!" Sima Shen frowned slightly and said lightly.

"Last year, when my younger brother was in Luoshui Town, Jingyang, and asked for justice for the children of my Sima family, he was deeply bullied by the Wang Ye family, and his personal guard Zhao Xiuyuan was killed, and even the head of the branch of my Sima family, Sima Yong, was also killed. I begged my father to uphold justice, but my father instead accused me of being reckless, and asked me not to conflict with the Jingyang Wang family again, second brother, my Sima family can't die in vain, and ask the second brother to help!" Sima Huai preached with a reason.

"Those who are useless should die!" Sima Shen said coldly, "It's just that after all, it is my Sima family who died, and this account should be remembered first, and it will naturally be doubled back in the future! Fourth brother, as far as your little shit and thoughts are concerned, how can my father not know! I have nothing to practice more, as the fourth son of the Sima family, I can't even clean up a sick son of the Wang family, and I will be ashamed of you when I say it!"

"The younger brother has been practicing hard all these years, but his progress is really not good, and he has never been able to step into the qi cultivation period. Sima Huai was a little helpless.

"Father is right, don't go to trouble Wang Tianyang and his son for the time being, it's not yet time to turn your face with the Wang family!" Sima Shen admonished, "Also, didn't my father let you stay by the side of the second uncle, don't run around if you have nothing to do, last time you ran back from Nanjing City privately, you have already missed important things, how can you still be so virtuous now! Hearing Uncle Wen's new funeral, although the position of general protector was inherited by my Sima family, but now all the elders are competing for this position, and there is no time for others to care, you better not cause any trouble for your father, so you can do it yourself!"

With that, Sima Shen walked straight to the inner hall.

Sima Huai looked at Sima Shen's straight back, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head sullenly and muttered: Hmph! Even without your help, with my Sima Huai's arrangement over the past year, I can still get back face!

In the attic of the Jingdu Wang's house, the second master, Wang Tianche, was pacing back and forth in the house, with some hesitation on his face.

Oh Qing still couldn't help but say to Wang Ruoqing, who was studying the sword spectrum on the side: "Ruoqing, my father saw you recently, and he got close to Wang Tianyang's son?"

"The father is aware that his daughter has indeed had some contact with Wang Ruoli recently. Wang Ruoqing still looked at the sword spectrum, and her eyelids did not lift, "This son was born at the clan competition, and he frequently defeated several outstanding sons of the Wang family with the same sword moves, which has to be impressive!"

"Just impressed?" Wang Tianche asked with a slight hesitation, "Have you moved your mind?" Don't forget, you are six years older than him!"

"Father's words are too pedantic! You and I cultivate true children, how can we be imprisoned by such a trivial feud!" Wang Ruoqing raised his head and frowned slightly, "What's more, Great Elder Wang You was unfortunately assassinated, although Wang Tianyang has lost a big backer, but his power and strength are still stable, father must not forget, Qingxu Sect Aoki Daoren! And Wang Ruoli is an excellent chess piece, if used properly, it will get twice the result with half the effort!"

If you can have this in mind, you can be a little relieved as a father. Wang Tianche was slightly skeptical, "It's strange, my father always thinks that this Wang Ruo's cultivation is a little weird!"

"Indeed, my daughter specially sent someone to investigate Wang Ruoli's past over the years, and found that he had only recovered from his illness in the past two years and started to practice, but in less than two years, his cultivation had soared to a high level of qi cultivation, which was really surprising. Either he has been pretending to be sick since he was a child, or he is extremely talented and rare in the world, or he has had some unnatural adventure. Wang Ruoqing explained one by one, "No matter which one it is, this son should not be taken lightly!"

"Yes, it makes a lot of sense! Now my lord clan has the sole authority of the royal family, with Wang Min's aunt and father on the ground, and the children of the lord clan in charge of the cities. Even Heng Wang Tianyang is not a bad strategy, even if he fights against each other, even if the fourth brother is banned, it will not help!" Wang Tianche thought about it carefully, his eyebrows were slightly happy, and he paused for a while before he said seriously, "Ruoqing, your brother was cut off by that assassin's ghost axe, and his future cultivation will be greatly reduced, and the hope of being a father is all on you!"

"Father, rest assured, the daughter will not let her father down!" Wang Ruoqing replied thoughtfully.

Five days have passed since Wang Ruoli returned to Jingyang.

The stone seat in the courtyard, the flower tea is fragrant, Wang Ruoli stands in front of the steps, seems to be thoughtful.

The ghost axe that was making tea on the stone table behind him was brewing, while brewing, he half-squinted his eyes and smelled the curling fragrance of tea, and said lightly: "Little baby, look at you in the past few days, you have looked bitter and sad, isn't it, your self-confidence has been greatly hit?"

After a few days of recuperation, the ghost axe can already walk on the ground, but his body is very weak, and if he wants to heal and resume his cultivation, I am afraid it will take at least a few months.

"Self-confidence comes from strength, strength is based on the realm, the younger generation is just building a foundation, and having the self-confidence of building a foundation is enough!" Wang Ruoli said slowly.

"The ninth stage of the Qi Realm, the sixth level of the Spirit Realm, little baby, you still have a long way to go!" Ghost Axe poured a cup of tea and said unhurriedly. The spiritual realm is divided into six levels, namely psychic, open light, yuan infant, refining gods, breaking the void, immortal, the Shenyuan continent is to show respect, and the six levels of the strong in the spiritual realm are successively honored as Lingzi, Lingbo, Linghou, Linggong, Lingwang, Lingjun (also known as Linghuang, Lingdi).

"Although the younger generation knows that the road ahead is long, what I feel today is the fear of the awe that breeds!" Wang Ruoli said thoughtfully.

"Awe?" Hearing this, the ghost axe stopped what he was doing and looked at Wang Ruoli with some confusion.

"When the predecessors appeared in the inner courtyard of the Wang family, they assassinated Elder Wang Yu with their own strength, and broke the joint encirclement of the elders and deacons of the family, it can be said that the Wang family was invincible, at that moment, I believe that in addition to fear and jealousy, there was also a layer of awe in the hearts of the people present, and the awe of such a strong man is a figure that he can only look up to, and the awe of such a strong man is unattainable, and the awe of such a strong man is invincible and I feel powerless! At that time, I felt such a powerless feeling in my heart!" Wang Ruoli said, with some emotion in his words, "However, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, in less than a day, such awe was easily shattered." The six top geniuses of the continent who appeared one after another were like a profound alarm bell, knocking my heart, making me understand how ridiculous and ignorant the awe I had before was! My mind is still too immature, too easily conquered by a powerful appearance, and even blinded by external objects!"

"It is human nature to fear the strong! The key is only where you put your heart! or rest on your laurels, or where your heart desires, or self-improvement and transcendence, all in your own body!" The ghost axe seems to enter the memory, "In the past, when I saw the Lord for the first time, his strength made me worship and admit that he is the strongest person I have ever met in my life! He is the person I want to be! You ...... Are you worried that once you have a sense of awe, it will wear down your indomitable heart of a strong man? No, the growth path of a truly strong person is never to be sharp, take the lead, when you know that it is too full, it will overflow, and if it is too rigid, it will be broken!"

"The seniors are well-informed, please give me advice!" Wang Ruoli asked reverently.

"The six top geniuses who appeared that day were all young people who had cultivated as demons on the Shenyuan Continent, but have you noticed that they have an important thing in common?"

"What do they have in common? Chu Chaoge, Tuoba Yu'er, He Chongzhi, Zhong Ziqi, Liu Yilong, and Ji Feng, in addition to being young Spirit Realm powerhouses, they are either members of the royal family or descendants of the Spirit King, but ...... Shouldn't...... Seniors mean that they all have deep backgrounds?" Wang Ruoli sifted through everyone's situation in his mind.

"That's good!" Ghost Axe took another sip of tea, and continued, "The reason why a genius becomes a genius is not only because of his innate qualifications, but more importantly, because of his mentor's guidance, self-diligence, natural treasures, adventures and fairy fate, etc., which can not be achieved overnight." Therefore, it is not that the genius of the commoner family is inferior to the genius of the princely family, but that the resources obtained by the two are too unequal. Of course, there are naturally top geniuses from the grassroots, but compared to geniuses with strong backgrounds, the number is pitiful. However, if this kind of genius who was born recklessly and grew up smoothly by luck, all of them are the top characters who shocked Huanyu. For example, the Red Maple Demon Lord thousands of years ago, born in grass mustard, went through many ups and downs, and finally grew into the powerhouse of the Shenyuan Continent, no one in the world is invincible, even if thousands of years have passed, it still makes the major immortal dynasties and sects famous!"

The first time Wang Ruoli heard others mention the Red Maple Demon Lord, he couldn't help but be careful in his heart.

At the same time, it is even more necessary to assess the situation. The ghost axe pinched the empty teacup, and said again, "The so-called genius always makes people love and hate, and as many people love it, as many people hate it." In particular, the hostile forces want to strangle the geniuses of the other side even more. As the saying goes, God is jealous of talents, not vain!"

"That's right, a genius who has no life, and he still talks about the so-called anti-heaven qualifications, but it's just in vain!" Wang Ruoli nodded secretly.

"The width of the mind determines the height of growth!Little baby, after a lot of training, you can fight in the sky, how is the Gonghou Pavilion not a place of training!"

"The words of the seniors, the younger generations remember in their hearts! What the seniors invite is exactly what the younger generations think, if you wait for this day, I hope that the seniors will not hesitate to tolerate!" Wang Ruoli said calmly.

"So that's what you did that day!" said Ghost Axe, touching his chin, as if annoyed.
