"Fool, are you looking at the moon again?"
The moon was like a waterfall, hanging high in the sky.
On the edge of the cliff in the night, a sharp sneer broke all the silence.
The figure sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff slowly turned his head. He appeared to be 14 or 15 years old, and his expression was a bit dull. When he looked at his originally white and handsome face, he looked a bit silly.
When he saw the two people who had appeared behind him, Hua Wuji's expression didn't change. He turned his head dumbly and continued to raise his head to look at the full moon in the sky.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you pretending to be deaf?"
Standing behind Hua Wuji were two young men who were a bit older than him. When they saw Hua Wuji's indifferent demeanor, one of the children immediately grew angry. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to charge forward, but was stopped by another child when he gave Hua Wuji a few harsh blows.
"What are you arguing with a fool about? It's been ten years, but the rain and wind can't move, and he comes here every night to see the moon. If you say that he has a brain problem, I won't believe it. How can such a person be worthy of meeting my sister for the first time?"
When he heard these words, the young man who had been enraged immediately calmed down. He looked at the expressions of his companions and then at Hua Wuji's back. His expression immediately became extremely brilliant as he sneered, "That's right. Some people are busy watching the moon, but I'm afraid they don't know yet. Brother Xuan has already come out of closed door cultivation. A seventeen year old Heroic Spirit Realm is enough to rank third even in our Shangguan family's history of two hundred years. That's why he's called a true genius. He's not like some people who think that they're monsters just because they've broken through to the Fifth Stage of Body Tempering at the age of five? They haven't made any progress in ten years, this is quite amazing!"
Another young man echoed, "Fool, let's tell you the truth. Brother Xuan has already said that he will help to break off the engagement with you at the family meeting tomorrow. At that time, you won't even have the identity of the son-in-law of the Shangguan family. At that time, I will see what you will do. If you want me to be you, pack up your things tonight and run away quickly. Otherwise, when the family meeting comes tomorrow, you won't even be able to find a hole in the ground!"
"What are you talking about? What if he really runs away?"
"Don't worry. We've cursed him for almost ten years. Which time did he dare to resist? A fool is a fool, but he knows himself well. He didn't sneak away. I'm afraid that even he himself knows that he can't even be counted as a fart after leaving our Shangguan family. Here, even if he is scolded every day, he can at least eat a full meal."
"You're right. I really don't know how he defeated the genius of the Qing Ming Divine Palace back then. He might have used some shady methods. Otherwise, how could a useless person like him be compared to one of the five super sects of the Northern Heaven Region, the peerless genius of the Qing Ming Divine Palace?"
...
No matter how the two behind him ridiculed him, Hua Wuji never looked back. He just stared blankly at the sky and stared at the full moon.
In the end, Hua Wuji didn't seem to have heard anything. The two youths' mouths and tongues were dry as they spoke. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and say viciously, "Fool Hua, just you wait and see. You'll have a good time in the family gathering tomorrow!"
After saying those harsh words, the two young men left exasperatedly. Peace was restored on the edge of the cliff again.
After being silent for a long time, it was as if tens of millions of years had passed. The full moon in the sky was hanging high in the sky, shining brightly and shining brightly.
When the waterfall-like moonlight fell from the clouds and landed on Hua Wuji's shoulder, his body, which had been silent for a long time, finally slowly raised its head.
If anyone from the Shangguan family was here, they would see that the current Hua Wuji was no longer as dull as he had been in the past ten years. His face was resolute and his handsome, fair face glowed faintly in the moonlight, making him look incomparably devilish. His pair of deep, pitch-black eyes seemed to have devoured all the bright light, and if they even glanced at him, it would be as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
It was a pity that Hua Wuji was the only person on this cliff.
"Is this the last time?"
He raised his head, bathed in the moonlight, stood up slowly, and muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently spread out his hands, like holding the cold wind of the night. He leaned forward and jumped down.
In the moonlight, a rainbow-like figure jumped down from the cliff, as if he had integrated into the world.
Below the cliff was a secluded lake. The lake and the moonlight intertwined, emitting a deep luster.
When the figure touched the mirror-like lake, there was a loud bang. A waterfall hung high in the sky, and the whole lake seemed to fall into the sky. After a long time, the lake water fell down like a pouring rain. The lake was quiet again.
A figure emerged from the surface of the night. Hua Wuji didn't swim around, but lay quietly on the surface of the lake.
His wet long black hair scattered on both sides. He looked up at the night sky. His originally white skin seemed to have suffered great pain at this moment. His whole body was red, but he seemed not to feel it. He was just smiling, and his smile was particularly brilliant.
"It's been ten years. I've finally succeeded!"
In the Shangguan family's eyes, Hua Wuji hadn't made any progress in the past ten years. He only stayed at the edge of this cliff in the middle of the night and stared dumbly at the moon. He was like a piece of trash who had given up on himself, no different from him.
But only he himself knew how much pain he had experienced in the past ten years. Day and night were endless, and wind and rain were unstoppable. Every time the moon fell, he would jump off the cliff and use the moonlight all over the sky and the huge pressure of the lake water to temper his body.
After ten years of nirvana, today's wish had been fulfilled. The iron-like shackles had finally been broken today.
As he felt the earth-shattering changes in his body, he had been silent for ten years. His will had long since been clear, and he was incomparably excited. He really wanted to roar to the sky to vent the pressure of these ten years.
However, after a moment of silence, he didn't move. Instead, he calmed down, allowing the cool water to spread across his body and cheeks.
Thinking of what the two young men of the Shangguan family had just said, he smiled slightly and said softly.
"Shangguan Xuan, a genius? He's not even a fart..."
The night was quiet, and no one heard his words. Only the bright moon slowly hung down, as if it was echoing him.
