The cliff is located on the edge of a remote wilderness in the back mountain of Lingwu Academy. Normally no one would come here because the cliff here is steep and the deep valley below the cliff is hundreds of feet deep and bottomless.
It is said that there were once students from Lingwu Academy who got into a fight here. In the end, two of them fell to the bottom of the cliff and were shattered into pieces. No one was left alive!
From then on, no one from Lingwu Academy dared to play here.
Ever since he came to Lingwu Academy three years ago, Ling Chen would come here to meditate alone whenever he had time. No one knew what he was thinking.
Moreover, the most puzzling thing is that every time Ling Chen sits directly on the edge of the cliff, with his legs completely hanging on the cliff. It seems that if he moves even slightly, he will fall down the cliff valley and die without a complete body!
But he was not afraid at all. He had been sitting like this for more than two years. Unless the college had special courses, he would come here every day to meditate. He seemed not to be afraid of the bottomless cliff at all.
In the past three years, he has been bullied and insulted by others in the academy, but he has always stood up and endured it without shedding a single tear.
Even if he was beaten black and blue, even if someone spat on him, he would stand up without saying a word and feel the pain in his body alone.
It was almost dusk, Ling Chen's deep eyes watched the last ray of light of the setting sun sinking to the top of the mountain, then he stood up and left.
…
Because the injuries on his body were so severe, even if it was only two or three miles, he walked for nearly an hour in the early morning.
When he approached the side entrance of Lingwu Academy, his whole body was soaked with sweat because the pain in his body was so unbearable.
Suddenly, a girl wearing a light blue flowing fairy skirt appeared in Ling Chen's sight.
The girl looked to be only in her early ten years. She was tall and slim, with a fairy-like appearance. Her eyes seemed to be able to wash away all the dust in the world. She was looking left and right at the grass and trees in the back mountain, seeming to be searching for something.
.
Ling Chen's heart trembled for no reason, and an inexplicable tenderness flashed through his eyes that had always been as calm as water, but they returned to their original state in an instant.
The reason why Ling Chen was beaten up by the young master named Wang today was because when he was passing by the martial arts training ground in the backyard, he found that the girl in blue was being raped by the young master named Wang. In anger, he ran over and had a fight with the young master named Wang.
Fighting together.
In the end, although the girl in blue was safe, he was beaten and injured.
Suddenly, the girl in blue noticed Ling Chen, who was limping towards him, her face softened, and she ran directly towards Ling Chen.
"Brother Lingchen, where have you gone? I've been waiting here for you all afternoon and I haven't seen you. I'm so worried."
Seeing the girl's angry but concerned look on her face, Ling Chen's heavy mood instantly improved a lot.
Opening his mouth, Ling Chen said softly: "Relax, I'm fine."
Ling'er stepped forward and held one of Ling Chen's arms, helping him to walk forward slowly with an extremely gentle voice.
"Brother Lingchen, why are you doing this? Why are you still fighting with Wang Yiming when you know you are no match for him?"
"No reason, I just don't want to see anyone bullying you!"
"..."
Ling'er was silent for a moment, and a layer of mist flashed in her watery eyes, but she quickly covered it up well.
"Brother Lingchen, Ling'er knows that you are the best to me, but you have to promise Ling'er not to be so stupid again, Ling'er will... feel bad for you!"
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, and the heartstring in his heart twitched for no reason.
Among the thousands of practitioners in Lingwu Academy, no one wants to pay attention to him, and no one wants to take a second look at him.
In their eyes, nothing but ridicule is ridicule!
However, there is one exception, and that is the girl in front of me - Ruo Ling!
Ruo Ling is half a year younger than Ling Chen, but she is already at the seventh level of swordsmanship, and is considered a very powerful being in the entire swordsman academy of Lingwu Academy.
But Ling Chen is still stuck in the second level swordsman realm, which is simply a kind of psychological torture for him who has been in the hospital for three years.
The first time Ruo Ling met Ling Chen was because Ling Chen was being bullied. Ruo Ling happened to be passing by, taught a lesson to the teenagers who bullied Ling Chen, and saved Ling Chen, who was beaten with a black nose and a swollen face.
From then on, Ruo Ling would find Ling Chen whenever he had time, and then teach him some basic sword moves for him to learn. For more than two years, Ruo Ling has never been discouraged.
Although she knew that Ling Chen might not be able to practice in this life, she still never gave up!
If there is anyone in this world who is worthy of Ling Chen's nostalgia, besides his father and nanny, it is Ruoling in front of him.
"Ling'er, don't worry, I'm not afraid of pain. They hit me often, and I secretly memorized their moves. The more they hit me in the future, the more I can dodge their attacks."
Although Ling Chen's elm-like head can't even remember basic sword moves, every time he fights with others, he will inadvertently memorize the opponent's moves. If they fight again next time, he can avoid them.
The attack moves used by the opponent.
This is probably the only thing that makes Ling Chen look like a loser. Unfortunately, he still only gets beaten every time because his cultivation is too low!
This feeling is like an adult and a child. Ling Chen is the child. Although he can remember some of the opponent's moves, the gap in strength cannot make up for anything.
Ruo Ling took out the white handkerchief she was wearing and gently wiped the blood and dust off Ling Chen's face. She could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, her nose became sore, and two lines of hot tears soaked her cheeks.
"Brother Ling Chen, Ling'er will always be by your side. Ling'er will also protect herself and not let brother Ling Chen worry."
Seeing Ruo Ling shed tears, Ling Chen's eyes flashed with a look of pity. He stretched out his muddy hands and rubbed the clean areas on his clothes, and then gently wiped the tears from Ruo Ling's cheeks.
"Don't cry, Ling'er. If you cry any more, you won't look pretty."
Ling Chen made a rare joke, and his somewhat clumsy movements and serious expression finally made Ruo Ling laugh out loud.
In this way, after wiping the blood and dust off Ling Chen's face, Ruo Ling helped Ling Chen walk towards Lingwu Academy.
At dusk, the silhouettes of the two people gradually lengthened, a breeze blew, and a faint fragrance of flowers came from the forest.
…
Ling Chen had just said goodbye to Ruo Ling and turned around to walk towards his room when three or five young men walked towards Ling Chen with hostile faces.
Ling Chen knew the leader. He was He Qing, a seventh-level swordsman in the Swordsman Academy, and one of Ruo Ling's suitors!
