HSSB487: Wanting to drink yet unwilling to bear the load
The flas of war still raged over the East Sea.
The human experts and the Fla Devil experts were currently locked in heated battle near the entrance of the dinsional passageway leading from the Outer East Sea to the Fla Devil World.
Nurous Fla Devils were gathered with the Great Fla Devil King at their head, guarding the dinsional passageway entrance to the death.
Near the dinsional passageway entrance, the heavens and the earth was enveloped by white light as Yan Di, Old Man Mo, Huang Guanglie and Song Wuliang unleashed the power of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation together, their attacks pressuring towards the Fla Devils with a montum of toppling mountains and overturning seas, repelling the encroachnt of the Fla Devil World into their Eight Extremities World.
ng Wan with the Extre Yin Crown and Turbid Wave Pavilion’s An Qinglin were supporting the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation as well, assisting from the side as they attacked the Fla Devils together.
Heated battle was ongoing in various other parts of the Outer East Sea as well.
The other human martial practitioners, including those from Verdant Pill Island under the Painting Saint’s lineage, exterminated the Fla Devils who had not managed to retreat to the dinsional passageway entrance with the group of Fla Devil Kings in ti.
Many experts amongst the Fla Devils who had attacked the Eight Extremities World had their bestiality awakened as they engaged in a bloodied battle with the human martial practitioners.
A bright sword-light flashed through the air, slaying a Fla Devil.
As the sword-light vanished, the figure of a woman appeared, her features like a painting and her deanour sharp.
She lowered her head, looking at two people on the sea’s surface killing so lower-tiered Fla Devils.
Seeing this, the woman nodded slightly, Yunsheng, Liuhua.”
The two figures on the sea’s surface were precisely Broad Creed Mountain’s two Maidens of Extre Yin, Feng Yunsheng and Yin Liuhua, who now both bowed towards the woman in the air, “Master.”
Fu Enshu descended, looking at Yin Liuhua, “Liuhua, are you sure that the person you saw was the Sacred Sun Clan’s Huang Jie?”
Yin Liuhua replied, “Your disciple has only seen images of him before. After having seen him from far away this ti and felt that it was the World Illuminating Young Master, your disciple hurriedly went away. However, I should not have identified him wrongly.”
She appeared a little uneasy, “Master, we were very far away and he didn’t even look towards . It should be fine, right?”
Hearing Yin Liuhua’s words, Fu Enshu pondered for a mont before telling her, “Normally speaking, you have yet to be exposed before the eyes of the other Sacred Grounds, and therefore should not have been recognised.”
“However, it is best to be careful. Do not move alone after this.”
Yin Liuhua hurriedly answered, “Yes, Master.”
Fu Enshu nodded, considering whether she should send Feng Yunsheng and Ying Liuhua back to the clan first.
As she pondered, waves of fire roiled before her eyes as yet more Fla Devils attacked.
Fu Enshu could only first cease in such thoughts and deal with the enemies before her.
The experts of the Fla Devils were stopped by her, with so of lower cultivation bases who were equivalent to human Martial Scholars and below slipping through the net, Feng Yunsheng and Yin Liuhua going up to et them in battle.
Carefully appraising this, Fu Enshu could not help but frown.
After having finished dealing with these Fla Devils, she said, “Liuhua, you still need to put in much more effort in your usual cultivation.”
Yin Liuhua replied softly, “Yes, Master.”
Seeing this, Feng Yunsheng sighed as she sent Fu Enshu a sound transmission via aura-qi, “Master, why don’t you give junior apprentice-sister Yin a little more ti.”
Fu Enshu glanced at her, “The howork I have currently assigned for her is already much lower than your standard, but she still continues to slack off.”
“I see now that this child is intrinsically lazy in nature, requiring a whip before she is willing to move a little. If I ask more from her, she will only be able to complete seventy to eighty percent of it even painstakingly going all out. If I ask less from her, she would instead slack off, still only completing eighty percent.”
“If I watch her intently, she will work harder, but that only lasts for two days before her laziness rises back to the surface. Does she think I cannot see that?”
As she spoke, Fu Enshu felt a little furious, “Having returned to the Mountain this ti, I’ve got to raise the bar for her. This way, she will be able to put in more effort.”
Feng Yunsheng hesitated for a mont before saying, “Master, junior apprentice-sister Yin was grood as a Maiden of Extre Yin as soon as she entered our clan, also being asked to improve by leaps and bounds within a short period of ti, chasing after and ng Wan. However, no one has ever asked her what her goals and aspirations actually are.”
Feng Yunsheng’s cultivation base and strength surpassed Yin Liuhua’s too greatly, while Yin Liuhua had not demonstrated any single bit of potential that might pose any threat to Feng Yunsheng at all. Therefore, Feng Yunsheng’s words would not cause any misunderstandings in Fu Enshu.
Fu Enshu frowned, “Her problem lies with how she is so lazy, always not putting in effort in her usual cultivation. Even if she weren’t a Maiden of Extre Yin, she would already be a failure as a martial practitioner.”
Feng Yunsheng sighed.
Fu Enshu snorted, “Liuhua is a solitary practitioner by birth. Solitary practitioners have few resources and face great risks, having to rely on themselves to fight for opportunities. Generally speaking, their sense of crisis as well as desire for self-improvent would be even stronger than disciples of great clans and sects.”
As she spoke, Yan Zhaoge’s words suddenly flashed through her mind, “Perhaps junior apprentice-sister Yin just wants to live a little more relaxedly?”
Fu Enshu knit her brows, pondering as she swivelled her head and gazed at Yin Liuhua by the side.
The conversation between the two earlier having been conducted via sound transmission, Yin Liuhua who had not been privy to its contents felt uncomprehending at Fu Enshu’s gaze on her, “Master?”
Fu Enshu was silent for a long ti before she finally sighed, her gaze that was on Yin Liuhua gradually turning softer.
Seeing her Master’s benevolent expression, Yin Liuhua’s mood eased greatly.
She had vaguely been feeling worried that Fu Enshu might be completely disappointed in her.
Of those of Broad Creed Mountain of her generation, she was one of the few who received the best treatnt, which far surpassed even that of Xu Fei, Lu Wen and the other core, direct disciples.
What others received treatnt that was comparable to hers?
Yan Zhaoge, the publicly accepted number one person of the Eight Extremities World’s younger generation.
To be precise, Yan Zhaoge was already no longer supplied resources by the clan. Instead, he himself had the authority to distribute the clan’s resources, no longer being the sa as Yin Liuhua and the others.
Feng Yunsheng, for whom it did not have to be explained.
Ying Longtu, who had broken Yan Di’s record as the youngest Martial Scholar of the post-Great Calamity Eight Extremities World.
Currently fifteen, he was unprecedentedly already at the late outer aura stage, virtually destined to break Yan Di’s record as the youngest Martial Grandmaster as well.
Other than that, there were no others.
Sikong Qing who was under the sa Master as Yin Liuhua and whose potential and diligence far surpassed hers could not match her in terms of resources and treatnt by the clan.
Yin Liuhua knew full well that this was not because of her outstanding performance or any great contributions that she had done for the clan.
It was simply because she possessed the unique Extre Yin Physique.
It was because of that that she had been able to enjoy the best resources and treatnt while muddling her way along up till now.
If the clan no longer grood her like a Maiden of Extre Yin, first ignoring whether she would still be able to retain her identity of Broad Creed Mountain’s core, direct disciple, the resources that she was supplied with would definitely plumt greatly.
Yin Liuhua had still had so thoughts of chasing after Feng Yunsheng and competing for the Extre Yin Crown upon just having entered the clan, but all of these had already grown faint now.
To her, that was no longer a goal. Instead, it was a tool for her to continue enjoying the preferential treatnt and privileged living that she had right now.
While she had a strict Master who constantly found faults with her, she was extrely satisfied with the many benefits that the Extre Yin Bout and the Extre Yin Physique had brought to her, being greatly unwilling to part from them.
In terms of martial talent, she could still be considered outstanding. However, being lazy, her talents were inevitably wasted sowhat.
Not standing out whilst also not being at the very bottom amongst the clan’s core, direct disciples like this, it was to a great degree due to much of the clan’s abundant resources having been preferentially provided to her.
Thinking about how her days would be without all this, Yin Liuhua would imdiately feel panicked.
Seeing Fu Enshu’s lenient expression now, she sighed inwardly in relief, “I should have made it through this ti, right?”
