Chapter 796: Black Elder's Past
In the cave,
It seemed as if he had heard Elder Bai's words.
The Black Elder immediately huffed, "It's already this hour, and you still care about this little bit of wine?"
"Old Bai, we've been friends for many years, so in your eyes, my mental health is no match for a little alcohol?"
Elder Bai was unmoved: "Is that just a little wine? It's just been opened. Xiaohan and I haven't even finished a bowl. The rest is in your hands."
"If I had known you were this kind of person, I shouldn't have brought Xiaohan to see you today."
"Selfish people like you should just fend for yourself."
In the cave,
Tons, tons, tons!
"Bullshit, I'm just hurt."
"You old heartless thing, if someone in your family is injured, shouldn't you give them delicious food as compensation?"
"When I was a kid and fell ill, my mother made me a stew of multicolored pheasant with thousand-year-old ginseng."
"Who is like you, harsh and unkind to your subordinates?"
Tons, tons, tons!
outside,
Elder Bai: "Xiao Han, let's go. We've been busy arranging things for him these past few days, and after all this time, he treats us like this."
"My heart is chilled."
Qin Han: "Elder, you have worked hard. Why don't you wait a little longer? I think Elder Hei is not that kind of person."
Whoosh!
A dark figure came to the table.
Elder Hei looked suspicious and asked, "Arrange it for me?"
"What are you going to do?"
Elder Bai turned his head away and ignored him.
Elder Hei looked at Qin Han.
Qin Han smiled and said nothing.
The Black Elder felt as if a cat was scratching his heart.
With a click, he placed the half remaining jar of wine on the table.
"Calm down, I was just joking with you."
"There are still a lot."
Elder Bai stood up.
Without even looking at the wine jar, he disappeared from the spot with Qin Han.
The Black Elder was left alone, feeling depressed.
Elder Hei muttered to himself, "Is this old man really angry?"
"There are so many things, if you don't eat them, I will eat them."
Taixu Sect,
In the courtyard where Elder Bai lives in seclusion.
The two walked out.
Elder Bai: "Xiao Han, don't take what happened just now to heart. Although this old man likes to take advantage, he won't be rude. He is not that kind of person."
Qin Han smiled and said, "Disciple understands."
"My disciples obtained a lot of Thousand Machine Brewing from the God of Wine God Realm. We gave some to every household. Elder Hei has the sect's token, so this kind of news naturally wouldn't have escaped his eyes."
"From what I've seen, the elder is probably quite angry, and he's just using the Thousand Machine Brewing as an excuse to crack jokes and vent his frustration."
"But he's been conceited all his life, so he must be feeling bad."
Elder Bai stroked his beard and smiled, "You are a clever child. Since you know all this, I won't say much more."
Qin Han: "It's just that there's one thing I don't understand. We've been arranging things these past few days just to get Elder Hei to remove the obstacles, so why did you take me away just now?"
Elder Bai: "Don't think he's relieved now, he's actually very vulnerable."
"Let him calm down."
"Once he has made up his mind, he will naturally come to us."
"He has a much better family background than me. He was born into a family of monks and lived a life of luxury when he was young."
"Because of his high aptitude, he never submitted to anyone during his youth."
"I learn everything and master it instantly. I can learn a year's worth of lessons in just a few days, and even do better than others on the test."
"It also fostered his belief in invincibility."
"Later, I entered the Taiyin Sect and saw a world full of geniuses."
"He realized that the little he had learned before was nothing at all."
"With a weak foundation and repeated setbacks, the belief in invincibility quickly disappeared."
"Instead, he became cautious. At that time, he believed that there is always someone stronger than the strongest, so being invincible is a joke, and continuous progress is the way to go."
Qin Han: "Isn't this good?"
Elder Bai: "That's good, otherwise he wouldn't be here now."
"But when someone like him is so focused on cultivation, his strength will continue to improve, but it will also bring about drawbacks."
"At that time, he fell in love with a female disciple from the same sect, but that female disciple's life was completely different from his."
"At that time, the sect had been at peace for a long time, and gradually, an environment emerged where people were judged by their family background and origin."
"A sect even gave birth to many cultivation families. They gathered together and established various complicated rules, standing high and mighty."
"That female disciple liked him from the beginning, and even as his strength continued to improve, he became more and more of a core member of the sect."
"Logically speaking, they should have a relatively happy marriage."
Elder Bai's face showed a hint of coldness.
"But later, that female disciple accidentally came into contact with a disciple from a so-called aristocratic family, who brought her into the so-called aristocratic circle."
"Gradually, she became obsessed with those so-called bullshit rules, like how many strands of silk a dress must have to be worn to be worthy of going out, how many servants and dishes a meal must have to be worthy of the name of a noble family."
"After a while, the female disciple took him to a so-called aristocratic family banquet. Because he didn't know the rules, he made a fool of himself."
"Later, the female disciple gradually began to look down on him, thinking he was just a reckless man who only knew how to practice."
“Even though Old Black finally reached the Divine Realm and defeated a certain disciple from an aristocratic family, he still couldn’t win the female disciple’s heart.”
“It wasn’t until the end, when danger arrived, that those people were awakened.”
"But that female disciple has long been lost in the rolling river."
After hearing this, Qin Han said with a look of disappointment, "Elder Hei actually had this experience before."
"It's completely different from the current cultivation world. At least everyone knows that strength comes first."
"However, based on Elder Hei's character, he should be able to cross this threshold."
Elder Bai stroked his beard and said, "Conflicts of ideas can't just be resolved by thinking about it."
"Think about it, if you come from a mountain village and carry yourself with the air of the wild, no matter how powerful or moral you are, some people will still look down on you from the bottom of their hearts."
"Class concepts are more important than anything else."
Qin Han sighed, "Now that you put it that way, I'm a little skeptical about whether what we've arranged these past few days can actually change Elder Hei's mind."
"If that doesn't work, how about we use the illusion again to let the woman see a different situation and make her change her mind?"
Elder Bai waved his hand and said, "No."
"Lao Hei is not the kind of person who is hard to let go. He has long disliked that woman."
"Now, he just lacks an opportunity to fully understand his thoughts."
"If it's too deliberate, it's not beautiful."
Qin Han: "Then let's give it a try."
The two were talking,
But I saw Elder Hei wiping his mouth and walking towards here.
"I guessed that you, an old fellow, would be here. I'll catch you every time."
"Qin Han, that pot of fish is pretty good. Where did you get it?"
