Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 375: Little brat



Chapter 375: Little brat

The God Emperor Yu Daoyuan led his troops and left in a hurry. Su Yun did not stop him. The ghost gods of Tian Shi Yuan indeed had the strength to keep the God Emperor, but even if the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan was severely injured, it would still require a great price to keep him.

The arrival of Emperor Wen Chang and other ghost gods to help had already made Su Yun grateful. How could he ask them to risk their lives for him?

Luo Wanyi hesitated for a moment and took the opportunity to lead her subordinates from the Overseas Heavenly Tower to leave.

Her purpose of this trip was to explore the world beyond the heavens, but she did not expect to encounter many unexpected events along the way. She had intended to take advantage of the conflict between the God Emperor and Su Yun to gain the greatest benefit for herself, forcing Su Yun to give up the position of the Heavenly Tower Master in order to save his life. However, Su Yun did not even consider it.

As a result, she offended the God Emperor and had no choice but to split the Overseas Heavenly Tower. It was uncertain whether she could keep her position as the Emperor of Da Qin.

Su Yun watched her leave without stopping her.

Regardless of her intentions, Luo Wanyi still had some conscience left in her heart. She had helped him a lot on the God Emperor\'s celestial ship. Without her, it would have been difficult for him to escape the God Emperor\'s pursuit.

Su Yun turned his head and faced the many ghost gods of Tian Shi Yuan with a smile on his face. He opened his arms and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, I\'m back!"

"Tsk—"

Emperor Wen Chang turned and left, turning into a green smoke and dissipating. "Every time you come back, it\'s never a good thing!"

Su Yun\'s face stiffened, then he turned and laughed heartily, "Qin Saint, when I was recuperating in Dong Ling, we drank together in Dong Ling..."

The spirit of the Qin Saint disappeared, leaving only the sound of the qin lingering in the air. "Actually, we are not familiar."

Su Yun looked at the other ghost gods and smiled, "Painting Saint..."

"Stay away from strangers!" The Painting Saint painted a landscape and walked into the mountains.

The thousands of ghost gods that were present just now quickly disappeared, scattering like birds and beasts, leaving no trace of goodwill. Su Yun said awkwardly, "They are just being reserved. In fact, they miss me very much..."

Hua Hu said, "When a wanderer returns home, the only ones who miss him are usually his parents and close relatives. Others mostly don\'t care, they just greet out of politeness."

Su Yun glanced at him, and Hua Hu quickly shut his mouth.

After resting for a few days, their injuries improved a lot. After all, with the highly skilled Master Tu Ming as their physician, as long as they didn\'t die on the spot, they could be saved.

"I wonder where Yan Qingzhou and Senior Brother Yaba are now."

Su Yun\'s injuries healed quickly, and he thought of Yan Qingzhou, Shi Zhenbei, and the others. They had taken two other small celestial ships and arrived in Yuanshuo ahead of Su Yun and the others. They would most likely arrive at Shuofang City.

Some of them also had the purpose of exploring the world beyond the heavens. In addition, Yu Qingluo, the elder of the Huoyun Cave Heaven, was leading the elders of the Huoyun Cave Heaven to go to the Wen Chang Academy to teach the ancient arts of the Huoyun Cave Heaven and promote the transformation of the old and new teachings in the Wen Chang Academy. Therefore, Shuofang City was most likely their destination.

But now Su Yun couldn\'t leave Tian Shi Yuan to go to Shuofang City because of his promise.

He had deep feelings for Shuofang City. It was the first place he set foot in the human society after leaving the savage and wild Tian Shi Yuan. It was also where he transformed from an ignorant young man to a cunning and sly old fox.

There, he met Zuo Songyan, Master Tu Ming, Master Lingyue, Idle Cloud Taoist, Master Tu Ming, Chi Xiaoyao, Li Muge, Wu Tong, Li Zhuxian, and other good friends.

He also met Xue Qingfu and got involved in Xue Qingfu\'s ambitions.

"If I can\'t go to Shuofang, why not let Shuofang come to me?"

Su Yun took out the wooden box of the Heavenly Tower Master and thought, "If my cultivation power is strong enough, I can activate Shuofang City and use it as a spiritual weapon to move the entire city. Unfortunately, I don\'t have such great power."

Master Lingyue and Master Tu Ming\'s injuries had not healed yet, so Su Yun decided to return to his hometown. Unconsciously, he returned to the deserted area, passing through the wasteland. He walked across the stone bridge and arrived at the Snake Gorge.

Under the crooked-necked willow tree, Su Yun reached out and gently touched the old tree where the saint was hanged.

A mist blew in from the front, and Tian Men Town appeared in the mist, swaying gently.

Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then lifted his foot and walked into Tian Men Town.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Qu Bo stood on the shelf, still carving Tian Men. Su Yun walked to the bottom of Tian Men, and a stone flew towards him. Before it could reach Su Yun, it suddenly exploded with a bang, turning into dust.

"You little brat, you\'ve become much stronger." Qu Bo put down his axe and chisel and smiled.

Su Yun smiled faintly, "That\'s because Qu Taichang taught me well." His words were full of sarcasm.

Qu Bo sat on the shelf and shook his head, "We didn\'t teach you anything. The people in this town don\'t usually teach or raise children. We just secretly protected you and let you grow up safely."

Su Yun thought for a moment, then walked up to the shelf and stood beside him, looking at Tian Men Town. In Tian Men Town, Luo Dama, Le Nainai, and others were still the same as usual. Zhang Fentao was still selling buns, Monk Lai was still begging for alms, and Drunkard Xu was still drinking, just like when he was in Tian Men Town.

But Su Yun\'s mentality was different from back then.

Since he learned that he was just a child bought by Qu Bo and others, and that he and the other bought children were just experiments, and that he was the only one who survived while the others failed, Su Yun had lost his original mentality.

Ying Ying emerged from his spiritual realm, flapped her wings, and flew around Tian Men Town, recording the state of each person.

She was carefree, like a lively butterfly, rarely troubled by anything.

Su Yun sat down and watched the little book monster flying around. He asked, "If it was me who died back then and another child survived, would you treat him the same way you treated me, Qu Bo?"

Qu Bo glanced at him and shook his head, "There would be no difference. We are ghost gods, and ghost gods are just manifestations of spirits. You should have realized by now that your current cultivation strength is extremely powerful. Spirits are just a bundle of imprinted thoughts. When a spirit is alive, its thoughts can change. After a spirit dies, its thoughts will slowly disappear in time, but they will not evolve anymore."Their thinking remained unchanged, and naturally, they would not develop a sense of affection. So even if another child had survived, they would have treated him the same way.

The light in Su Yun\'s eyes dimmed a bit. After a moment, he asked again, "You are all the top geniuses of Yuan Shuo Tongtian Pavilion. If you had taught me your techniques and divine powers, I could have achieved a profound cultivation level long ago. Why didn\'t you teach me how to cultivate, but instead let me study under Mr. Wild Fox, who could never possibly teach me his true skills?"

Qu Bo laughed, "Of course we couldn\'t teach you our true skills. If we had, you would have regained your sight long ago, and then you would have gone looking for your real parents. Then you would have discovered the seal in your memory. Once you found it, you would definitely try to break the seal and release the chaotic divine demon."

Su Yun let out a low laugh, the light in his eyes flickering like a candle in the wind, "So when Mr. Shuijing came here to guide my cultivation, why didn\'t you stop him?"

"We couldn\'t beat him."

Qu Bo said matter-of-factly, "We all showed up at that time, but Qiu Shuijing just casually dispersed the gloom above your little house, letting the sunlight shine down. That gloom was the aura of all the ghosts and gods in Tianmen Town. If he could disperse it, it meant his strength surpassed ours."

The light in Su Yun\'s eyes completely extinguished, he said woodenly, "So, if Mr. Shuijing couldn\'t beat you, you would have driven him away and let me continue to live in ignorance."

Qu Bo nodded, "Naturally. We would take care of you, let you grow up safely, watch you grow up, watch you get married and have children, watch you grow old, until you die."

Su Yun sighed, stood up, and said in a hoarse voice, "So I\'m just a little brat in your eyes, a lucky little brat. Spirits don\'t lie, tell me, you took care of me, but also guarded against me, you never really treated me well."

Qu Bo looked up at him, then lowered his head.

"To us, you are just a tool, used to store and suppress the divine demon sleeping deep in the ghost market."

Qu Bo said calmly, "All the other children died, only you survived. So we used you as our tool to explore the secret of eternal life. We entered the seal in your memory, studied those divine demons, and perfected the Chaotian Que. If another child had survived, we would have done the same."

Su Yun no longer hesitated and walked down the scaffold.

Qu Bo continued on the scaffold, "When the other children died, they all exploded with a bang. We were worried about you, so we called you a little brat, just like naming a child \'Dog Leftover\' or \'Dog Egg\', so that the ghosts and gods wouldn\'t be jealous. We hoped you could live a little longer."

Su Yun called Ying Ying and headed towards the outskirts of the town.

"Later, only you, the little brat, survived. You forgot everything before the age of six. You called me uncle, called Yue Sicheng grandfather, called the drunkard uncle. You helped me pass the hammer and chisel, helped Baozi Zhang knead dough and make dumplings, massaged Yue\'s old lady\'s back. You were so innocent, lively and lovely."

"When Fang and Li Xiaoyi got married, we took you to their banquet. Fang said she wanted to have a child like you."

Su Yun stopped in his tracks.

"At that time, you were a part of this town, indispensable. That might have been the shortest and happiest time in our lives."

Su Yun was stunned.

"But even then, we were ready with the Chaotian Que, ready to open the portal to another world. Fang and Li Xiaoyi didn\'t have time to have a child, they died outside the sky. Everyone in the town died outside the sky. Our spirits wouldn\'t have come back, but we had something to worry about."

"At that time, I was running on the immortal bridge, carrying the stolen immortal map, trying to get back to Tianmen. When the immortal sword stabbed me, I knew I was dead, but I kept running."

"I couldn\'t take the immortal map with me. I thought what I wanted most was the immortal map, but at that time, there was a force pulling me back. When I returned to Tianmen Town, I found that their spirits were all in Tianmen Town. They all had the same worries."

Qu Bo\'s voice came from behind Su Yun, hoarse and vicissitudinous, "We didn\'t know what this worry was until Master Cen sent you over. We then realized why our spirits had to return here after we died. Because there was a little brat waiting for us here, without us, he might not have survived."

Su Yun closed his eyes, feeling the salty sea breeze brushing against his cheeks.

"You are no different from the other children, it\'s just that, you became our family." Qu Bo said.
