564 Departure
It seemed like An Cheng and An Lie already knew that she was not a man after two months of separation.
However, it did not matter. This was not a big deal to begin with. He would find out sooner or later.
“Thank you, Master.”
An Cheng was very respectful. After knowing that Su Xiaolu was a woman, he admired her even more.
As far as An Cheng knew, all women could do was to pack up the fish goods after returning from the fishing boat, wash the clothes, do the housework, and have children. Most women were the same. Their lives were like this for the rest of their lives without many ups and downs.
A girl like Su Xiaolu, who was 12 or 13 years old, should already start to be restrained because she was about the age of marriage. However, she lived in a different style. What kind of parents could nurture such a child?
There were many things about Su Xiaolu that he admired. She was brave and fearless, and she was kind by nature. Even if she was a woman, she could live differently. If Su Xiaolu could do this, could his sister do this too?
The group ate the roasted meat.
They decided to take a walk on the island, so they were not in a hurry to return.
The island was filled with spiritual energy and was a good place to cultivate.
The animals on the island also contained spiritual energy. If they couldn’t finish them, they could extract some pills.
This was an island without danger, and it nurtured countless treasures for others to gather.
In July, Su Xiaolu and the others left the island.
After separating from Zhou Zhi and the others, Old Wu asked Su Xiaolu, “Girl, did you gain anything from this training?”
Elder Niu said with a smile, “Now that there are changes everywhere, if you are met with an opportunity, it will definitely exceed your imagination. There must be opportunities on this island. It must be for either you or him.”
Logically speaking, Su Xiaolu should have obtained this opportunity. After all, Zhou Zhi’s legs were inconvenient. If he saw anything good, he would not be able to beat Su Xiaolu to it.
Cough cough… Although they couldn’t bully people with disabled bodies, there were no differences between men and women in the martial world. Everyone relied on their own abilities, so there was no such thing as bullying.
“Stupid girl, if you give it to someone else, Master will definitely not let you off! That’s just a man. If you like him, let’s kidnap him.”
Old Wu expected better from her.
Su Xiaolu almost choked to death on her saliva. She coughed for a while and her eyes turned red. She quickly waved her hand and said, “Master, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t give it away. I don’t really want that thing. It’s like this.”
Su Xiaolu explained Zhou Zhi’s situation to Old Wu and the others.
Zhou Zhi was in so much pain that he was about to die. He could endure it, but she couldn’t.
She did not want such an opportunity.
Old Wu pondered. “Then that kid is lucky. It doesn’t sound like a good thing. You haven’t been in pain since you were young. I don’t think you can stand it.”
The Su family had a hard time in the past, but to this girl, they were all very precious. When she was young, her brothers and sisters doted on her. Even if those two silly brothers got any wild fruits outside, they could restrain their instincts and bring them back for her to eat.
At that time, her two silly brothers were only two or three years old.
The only thing she had suffered was from practicing the martial arts.
She probably couldn’t withstand such terrible pain.
“To be able to endure such a situation, that person is most definitely not an ordinary person.”
Elder Niu smiled meaningfully and sighed.
Presumably, that thing tempered with a person’s willpower. Zhou Zhi could withstand the tempering, so his willpower was definitely not something ordinary people could compare to.
Only after experiencing tempering could one stand in a place that ordinary people could not reach.
“However, his fate was full of misfortunes. He was a bitter person. He was not a Daoist, but he endured the pain of five ills and three shortcomings. In fact, he should have learned Dao, but unfortunately…”
Elder Niu smiled and shook his head. He did not continue. Zhou Zhi was a member of the royal family, so it was destined that he would not give up his status and fame to learn the Dao.
“Senior Niu—”
An Cheng called out and then knelt down with a plop.
Elder Niu looked at him in confusion. “Young man, what are you doing?”
An Cheng kowtowed first. Then, he took out the medicinal pills he had accumulated over the past few days and asked, “Senior Niu, can you calculate for me? I want to know if my leg can grow back.”
During this period of time, his legs had not changed. They had stopped at his knees and stopped growing. He was anxious. With hope, he did not want to live his life as an incomplete person.
However, he was also very confused about the future. How could he become healthy? How far did he have to go to be healthy?
“Since you and the Su girl are fated, I’ll take a look for you. I don’t want your medicinal pills. I just want a drop of your sincere tears.”
Elder Niu reached out to help An Cheng up and said gently.
An Cheng nodded. “Thank you, Senior Niu. I agree.”
He really wanted to know if his wish would come true. As long as he had a tear, he would be willing to give it to him.
He had seen it when Elder Niu took Jin Liu’s tears. If Elder Niu could take it, so be it.
Elder Niu reached out and touched An Cheng’s face. He wanted to look at his appearance and feel his bones.
An Cheng was very agitated, and his face gradually turned red.
Elder Niu let go after touching it for a while. He stroked his beard and said, “When you were young, both your parents died. Your brother was like a father to you. You were complacent and accumulated merit, but you also suffered a calamity because of this. Your broken limb should have disappeared back then, right? You have to suffer some hardships and meet a benefactor. Seize the opportunity. Life and death are only a matter of thought. You can turn danger into safety or be consigned to eternal damnation.”
After Elder Niu finished speaking, he smiled kindly. He waved his hand and said to Little Niu, “Child, go get the glass bottle.”
Little Niu smiled and agreed. “Alright.”
An Cheng had doubts in his heart. He couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Niu, is there no more? Then can my leg still grow back?”
He could understand the first part of Elder Niu’s words because he was summarizing his experiences in the first 20 years. However, he could not figure out the latter part. What did he mean by turning danger into safety and being consigned to eternal damnation? And it was all at his whim? What did he mean? Didn’t he meet a benefactor? Why was he still facing such a polarized choice?
An Cheng felt that it was Su Xiaolu. He only got better after meeting Su Xiaolu. This half of his leg grew after meeting Su Xiaolu. He shamelessly followed her, but why did Elder Niu say those last few words?
“Young man, this is how your lifeline shows. Life is filled with choices. If you didn’t save people and accumulate merit back then, you wouldn’t be here today, right? It’s the same in the future. Whatever path you choose, the things on that path won’t change. I’m just telling you that there’s such a thing on the path. As for how you choose and how you distinguish, that’s up to you.”
Elder Niu said earnestly. He had already made it very clear.
