In the Arena,
"Junior Brother, I hope you can go easy on ." A muscular man stood in front of Qin and spoke with a smile on his face.
"Senior Brother, just give up!" Qin spoke and put his hand on the hilt of his sword and continued "I never go easy during competition, especially when my opponent isn't strong."
'Sorry for lying to you, senior brother! But, I am already going too easy on you.' While cold and ruthless expressions remained on his face, his heart was speechless as he tried to change the truth by a little.
"Hahaha! Junior Brother, you are right. I am not a salted fish. Let's fight with all we got." The muscular clenched his fists and burst into laughter. He slightly crouched his leg while pressing his foot against the ground.
'Hush! Guan Xing, I finally understand why I can befriend you so easily and in such less ti. Sorry for being a little harsh on you when you rejected to be Guo Min's true friend. Finding a true friend is even harder than finding a lover.'
'Godmother told that when a child starts his journey, friends are just passersby. But, if that friend can understand your intention to the core, he will remain your friend forever. It's not about ti, it's about intention.'
At this mont, the blazing flas appeared on his eyeball as he stared at the senior brother in front of him.
'I am a swordsman. My original intention is to be the greatest swordsman.' While he said, his hand gripped tightly on his sword.
"Junior Brother, here I co!" The senior brother shouted as he pressed his feet with all of his strength. His power smashed the ground and created two holes.
Whoosh!
'Today, I want take my swordsmanship to a new level. I have already wanted to try this but never thought of actually doing it. Was I scared? I think so but now is not the ti to get scared. Now is the ti to unsheathe my sword.'
"Sword Cloak- Slaying Moon Piercing Heaven"
Whoosh! Splash!
The sword energy entered the sword sheath and cloaked his entire sword. The mont he unsheathed his sword, his red energy sword turned dark red. It was filled with intense energy as he moved. His sword moved so fast that it slashed senior brother's chest when Qin appeared behind him.
"Ugh!" Thud!
The senior brother's eyes were full of confusion because he didn't even see when Qin made a sword. He only knew that his punch didn't hit Qin but Qin's sword sohow slashed his chest. With confusion in his eyes, he fell to the ground with blood all over it.
'My original intention will never change. I will beco the strongest swordsman and even surpass them.'
At this mont, Xiao Lan suddenly trembled inside the mysterious space and spoke.
"Ahem! Not to break your heart, young master but that is harder than killing yourself and coming back to life by yourself."
Hearing those words, Qin froze but soon a smile appeared on his lips. He walked out of the ground knowing what he must do.
What was his original intention?
To be the Strongest Swordsman
It was before he t Xiao Lan and find more about those people. But, what is his original intention?
To be the Strongest Swordsman!
Xiao Lan and his master did help him walk on this path but he had already set his heart in it. Regardless of how hard it might be, he will do it. Just like how Guan Xing wants to convince the world with words.
He doesn't believe Guan Xing can succeed. But, Guan Xing never doubted himself. And, that's what makes him similar to Qin. Because Qin never doubted himself.
After walking out of the ground, he directly walked to his seat but at this mont, there was a little problem here. He had to seat between them but unlike before, now he keeps getting harsh vibes from them.
And, he doesn't bla anyone. Guo Min was just like them, having no friends, he was alone. And, when he got a chance to have so true friends, he was rejected by Guan Xing.
But, he can't bla Guan Xing either. Guo Min didn't have a purpose like them. He was different. It's not that he wasn't loyal or bad. It's just he doesn't have a similar intention as them.
Guan Xing told him it will take ti. For Guan Xing and Qin, true friends an sothing else than what Guo Min thinks. Guan Xing and Qin understood that they shouldn't rely on each other. Because if you rely on soone, whom will he rely on?
Guo Min has different thoughts of being a true friend. He wanted to have soone to rely on. It's not that Guan Xing hates this ntality. Rather, he wants to change it. He understood just how capable Guo Min is.
Stealing other's luck and fortune to grow own fortune is not so cheap ability. He found the potential in Guo Min but Guo Min doesn't even believe in himself. He wants friends to have fun, to hang out, and to rely on.
This is why he didn't help Guo Min against those bullies. But, this exactly creates a barrier between them. And thus, Qin has to be this barrier. It keeps them separated but also helps him connect with both.
Qin sighs after a long ti and speaks "Can't we solve this sohow? I don't mind being rude or sothing but both of you are not wrong. At least, you have your own belief. I can't side with you, Guan Xing. Guo Min is not bad and he is wrong."
"But, I can't side with Guo Min either because you are not wrong either. So, how about we co to a conclusion?"
They have chosen the place where there was no one around, so it wasn't much of a problem for them to talk about it. But, a few minutes ago, they almost created confusion or an extre situation. Because when they talk about heaven and stuff like that, they were in the Elder's room.
They were fortunate that nobody visited that room except for Guo Min. And, even he didn't seem to learn a lot.
Hearing his words, Guo Min and Guan Xing stayed silent for a long ti. They didn't even know what to say here. Guo Min was angry with Guan Xing but he knew he had no right to be angry with anyone. He was soone who doesn't have any friends.
Guan Xing was also embarrassed to speak. Although he said those harsh words, he regretted being harsh.
"I'm sorry!" But, this ti he gathered all of his courage and spoke.
Hearing his words, Guo Min and Qin were left stunned.
"I shouldn't have rejected you. It's not that I don't want to befriend you. It's just that I don't think we can beco friends after just a few days when our mind isn't even the sa. I respect your ntality but you need to know if you want to beco soone's true friend, you need to be soone whom he can rely on."
"In other words, both of them must constantly push each other so that whey one of them want to rely on other, he can."
Hearing his words, Guo Min finally remained silent.
"No, you are not wrong. I was anxious. When I was small, I never had friends. Every adult was worried about their children so they never let their children play with . I was an unlucky star. When I turn ten, my parents asked to go on an adventure."
"But, I knew they just wanted to leave. Because of , my brothers and sisters were constantly getting into trouble. So, I left ho and from that day, I never went back. I promised myself that I will survive sohow, beco a cultivator and start my own family with the people who understand."
"I am not an unlucky star. No, I am not. Everyone who gets unlucky because of is because they hated . They just wanted to get rid of , even my own brothers. Even though I was unlucky for them, I had imnse talent and that's the only region why my parents kept with them for ten years."
"Hah! I taught myself words and writing at the age of one, everything I tried I was good at it. How could my brothers and sisters not get jealous? But, is that jealousy really what I wanted? No, I am talented. I am a genius. I can't change this. So, why can't they accept for who I am?"
"After that, I never had a friend. Nobody understood , nobody understood my pain, but when I thought I will never have any friend in my life."
At this mont, Guo Min turned his head at Qin and continued "You ca to , and talked to . You said I wasn't your unlucky star. You called friend. The word that I was desperate to hear, the word that I waited for sixteen years."
"You know when you stood for against the elder, I cried. In my life, no one has ever stood for , no one has ever called their friend."
