Chapter Sixteen: Laying the Foundation for Success (1)

  Due to the fight just now, none of the four winners had eaten yet. So they left Chang Sheng and Pang Hai, who was lying on the bed, while Nie Chen and Duan Yun went to the cafeteria to get food.

  The four of them had a good meal, and then Nie Chen and Duan Yun said goodbye to Chang Sheng and Pang Hai, returning to their respective residences. Originally, Chang Sheng was also going to leave, after all, Pang Hai needed rest now, but Pang Hai insisted on chatting with Chang Sheng for a while.

  In the dimly lit room, Pang Hai lay on the bed telling Chang Sheng about his past grievances and today's relief. Chang Sheng listened silently, occasionally nodding in agreement.

  Pang Hai lay pale-faced, suddenly bursting into tears: "Why is the world so unfair? Why can't heaven see this? Why did my good parents get burned alive by those aristocratic families? Why do I have to swallow my anger and fawn on our enemies instead of avenging them? Why, why, why?"

  Changsheng's originally calm face suddenly became ferocious. After hearing Pang Hai's words, he immediately thought of his own experiences with his father! The helplessness and desperation in the face of Bailianmen's endless pursuit.

  A phrase that Master had once said flashed through Chang Sheng's mind, and he recited it as if following the memory: "The Way of Heaven is impartial! When you gain something, you will inevitably lose something. The Way of Heaven rewards hard work! As long as you are willing to put in effort, there will be a return!"

  Pang Hai suddenly sprang up, grasped Chang Sheng's hand with force and said with reddened eyes: "Chang Sheng, I want to avenge myself, I want to kill all those people from the big families. I also want them to taste the flavor of having their relatives killed! Will you support me?"

  "Before I was eight years old, I didn't have a single friend. You are my first friend and the only one who has treated me with sincerity. So no matter what you do, even if you want to turn the world upside down, I will support you!" Chang Sheng said resolutely.

  "Good brother." Pang Hai's hands tightly grasped Chang Sheng's shoulders, his voice hoarse as he burst into tears. It was clear that beneath his normally optimistic personality, how much bitterness had been hidden.

  Changsheng thought of his father, whose life or death was still uncertain, and the evil Bailian Gate. His heart suddenly filled with rage, he thought: "Bailian Gate, you have caused me to be separated from my father. If I find my father, I will only kill the master of the gate, not venting my anger on others. If anything happens to my father, I will make Bailian Gate accompany him in death!"

  The crying gradually subsided, and then a faint snoring sound was heard. Chang Sheng opened his hands that were covering Pang Hai's mouth, then helped him lie down on the bed. He covered Pang Hai with a quilt, then turned around and left.

  When he returned to his own courtyard, Chang Sheng had already sorted out his emotions. Thinking that he would soon be cultivating the "Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Technique" with the help of his master, his heart was filled with excitement.

  Pushing open the courtyard gate, Chang Sheng saw his master sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. He quickly closed the gate and activated the formation. Then he hastily walked to his master's side and said softly: "The disciple is back late."

  "No big deal, I already knew about the fight earlier. It seems that practicing sword skills at the waterfall has been effective, you've grasped the method of borrowing force to strike." Yan Long said with a smile.
