Eternal Reverence
CH 1
“Li Fuchen, you still wouldn’t be my opponent even after you train for ten years.”
Crash!
On the training grounds, the delicate looking Li Fuchen was seen flung off the stage, and the one who threw him was a juvenile clad in green clothes.
“Heh.
As I expected, you were defeated in three moves.”
“This is already the seventh time that Li Fuchen has been defeated by Li Yunhe within a year!”
“Ain’t that right! Just last year, Li Fuchen was considered a genius and had always suppressed Li Yunhe.
But unexpectedly, after a year, the genius became inept.
Not only did his abilities not improve at all, it seems stupidity set in.
Knowing that Li Yunhe was not someone he could defeat, he still accepted Li Yunhe’s challenge.”
“You have wronged Li Fuchen, he always had a proud personality and never cowers from a challenge.”
“Hai, blame it on Li Fuchen’s fiancée Guan Xue, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know that Li Yunhe likes Guan Xue as well.
The three of them grew up together, but Guan Xue was already betrothed to Li Fuchen, making Li Yunhe extremely unhappy.”
The mocking laughter that came from all around rang in the ears of Li Fuchen, causing him to start breathing erratically.
A year, everything happened a year ago.
Only allowed on Creativenovels.com
A year ago, within the Li Clan, he was rated a prodigy.
Li Yunhe was never regarded as his rival.
Out of the blue, his talents seemingly vanished.
More like his talents were unusable, everytime he tried to concentrate, he would have a splitting headache.
The pain rendered him unable to cultivate in peace.
After a duel, Li Yunhe realised Li Fuchen had not improved at all, he then began to repeatedly challenge Li Fuchen.
With his fists tightly clenched, Li Fuchen looked to the sky with an unyielding heart.
“Wretched heavens, when have I ever offended you, why would you take away my talents? Do you not know that in this world, having strength reigns supreme and the consequences of not having any talent.”
Li Fuchen’s heart was enraged.
A pity the heavens could not hear the voice of his heart.
Staring down at Li Fuchen with a sneer, Li Yunhe felt domineering.
He had always felt jealous of Li Fuchen, jealous that his father was the Patriarch of the Li Clan, regardless of resources or treatment, it was all better than his own.
If his own father had been the Patriarch, his growth would have definitely outshone Li Fuchen’s.
Now that Li Fuchen had fallen from grace, the Patriarch can no longer be biased.
It was a known fact that the Patriarch does not have the final say in the Li Clan.
Behind, there was a committee made up of clan elders.
Once the committee made a decision, even the Patriarch would not be able to change it.
However, most of the time, the Patriarch was able to make decisions, as the elders seldom interfered with the daily household affairs.
“Li Fuchen, I advise that you forget about Guan Xue.
Such a inept person like you isn’t good enough for her!”
Once he was done berating, Li Yunhe turned and left the training grounds.
There was a pavilion in the distance, standing in it was middle-aged man wearing white, witnessing the whole commotion.
“Fuchen, though Father is the Patriarch, even I can’t help you in this situation, you have to rely on yourself.”
As a father, seeing Li Fuchen get bullied, he felt worse than anyone else.
But he was clear, if he had helped his son, Li Fuchen would have suffered more humiliation and hate from the others.
In this world, where the strong reigns supreme, and where ranks are highly desired, everything was about one’s abilities.
Help from others could make one look good on the outside, but in the dark, everyone would hate him.
***
Deep in the night…
Li Fuchen sat on a futon, meticulously cultivating the Red Jade technique.
Red Jade technique, Li Clan’s only high-tier yellow class cultivation technique that has a total of seven ranks.
A year ago, Li Fuchen had already cultivated it to the third rank.
But since last year, there hadn’t been any measure of progress.
As for Li Yunhe, he was able to use that one year’s time to advance to the fourth rank, thus, being able to suppress him.
“Ahh!”
Even after trying numerous times, the pain in his head still haunted Li Fuchen, causing him to howl in pain.
This kind of pain was much worse than any bodily ache by a hundred times, its source of pain emanated from deep within the soul.
Drenched with sweat, Li Fuchen lifted his eyelids unwillingly, as blood trickled down his lips from him biting with force.
“Why is it still the same?”
Till now, Li Fuchen had yet to understand what exactly happened to him.
The fights he lost were already a shock to him, but this verdict of losing his talent without any reason was yet another one.
Just like the venom from a snake slowing corroding one’s bone marrow, by the time you realized it, the entire marrow is already completely gone.
***
As the night dissipated, daylight broke.
Early in the morning, a guest had came to visit the Li Clan.
It was the Guan Clan’s Patriarch, Guan Yue.
In the conference hall, suited in white, Li Tianhan passionately went forward to welcome his guest.
“Guan Yue, what wind blew you here today?”
Guan Yue’s height was close to eight feet, having the back of a tiger and waist of a bear, he laughed awkwardly, “I was free today, so I came over to have a look, how is Fuchen lately?”
Li Tianhan’s face bore a sad expression.
“No hurry, it may only be temporary, I believe he can overcome this.”
Hesitating, Guan Yue took out a jade bottle, “There is a reinvigoration pill inside, perhaps it may be beneficial to him.”
“Reinvigoration pill?”
Li Tianhan did not receive the pill, but instead offered a puzzled look.
The reinvigoration pill was not like any common elixir, but a high-tier yellow class elixir, just one was worth thousands of gold.
Even though Guan Xue was betrothed to Li Fuchen since young, no ceremony was ever held, and to give such a rare elixir, it confused Li Tianhan.
Guan Yue wasn’t pleased: “It’s just an elixir pill, is it not to your liking??”
“This isn’t about the elixir.
Guan Yue, do you have something to say?”
Being friends for years, Li Tianhan knew he was hiding something.
Placing the jade bottle aside, Guan Yue reluctantly spoke, “Tianhan, this time I do have issues to discuss with you.
