"The look in that boy's eyes just now shocked even me." After walking out of Chu's house, the old man in white robe who had been rarely speaking said in a low voice.
"Uncle, your eyes can't kill, you're just a loser." The young man in white sneered.
"It's better to be a useless person. If he is not a useless person, he must be a terrible person..."
"Really?" Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips with a sneer, "Is he really going to participate in my martial arts competition in the future? Humph... Even if he participates, he won't be able to win first place, and he is not qualified to humiliate me in public!"
…
"close the door!"
In the reception hall, as Shangguan Wan'er and the others completely disappeared from sight, an angry voice sounded from Chu Tiankuo's mouth.
"Buzz..."
Feeling Chu Tiankuo's anger, the servants did not dare to express their anger and immediately closed the door.
The light instantly dimmed a lot, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly became extremely depressing, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Do you think you are the only one who can see that they are playing tricks on us? You didn't see it when the second child was rejected, and you saw it when the eldest child was rejected. But who told you to tell it?" Chu Tiankuo suddenly pointed at Chu Jun.
roared.
"Am I wrong to say that?" Chu Jun retorted. This grandson is his adopted father. When outsiders are around, it's okay if he doesn't stand on his side. Now that outsiders are gone, he still scolds himself for having such an adopted father.
?
"Of course it's wrong!" Chu Tiankuo became even more angry,
"The big family is playing tricks on us, so we have to let them play. It's best to make them happy. When people are happy, you will benefit a lot if you give them any benefits. If you piss them off, you can be killed with one finger."
"Just because he is strong, why do you pretend to be stupid even though you know he is playing tricks on you?" Chu Jun sneered.
"Then tell me, what qualifications do you have to resist? Fortunately Shangguan Wan'er didn't completely fall out with us today, otherwise the entire Chu family would be destroyed in your hands!" Chu Tiankuo shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to go out for half a day for three days.
Step, let me reflect on it!"
"I'll think about it!" Chu Jun yelled angrily, and he opened the door and left. He didn't want to stay in such a smoky place with these hypocritical people.
"What did you say?"
"Master!" Ou Lan quickly stood up and stopped Chu Tiankuo who was about to get angry. "Please allow me to persuade him."
After saying that, Ou Lan rushed out quickly.
…
It was already afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun began to shine on the earth.
This day was so unusual for the Chu family. What happened in the living room spread quickly beyond anyone's imagination. Talk like this is what the public likes the most.
In the courtyard of the Chu Mansion, the appearance of Chu Jun immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Hehe, this time the third master is more embarrassed than the first and second masters."
"No, uncle, although the second master may feel a little sorry for his face, at least he did the right thing and the head of the family didn't blame him. It's good that he has quite a backbone. In the end, he was trampled under his feet and even pissed off the head of the house!"
"I really can't figure out why the head of the family wants to adopt him as his adopted son and let him eat and drink for free in our family..."
The disdainful jeers coming from all around fell on the ears of the young man who was walking slowly, as if sharp thorns were stabbing into his heart, making the young man's breathing quicken slightly.
Chu Jun slowly raised his head, his dark eyes indifferently swept over the mocking servants around him, and he couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Today, do even these slaves dare to bully me?"
If it were normal, Chu Jun would definitely teach these villains a lesson. Relying on his backing in the family, he would want to ride on his head whenever he gets the chance. But today, he doesn't have that energy.
.
This was the most depressed and angry day that he had felt in the three years since his soul had traveled through time! And there was nowhere to vent this depression and anger.
He walked with an indifferent expression and came to his room as a habit. Now that he was physically and mentally exhausted, he just wanted to lie on the bed, play with his mobile phone, and talk to it.
It has been three years, and the phone is probably almost out of battery. There is no signal. Talking to the phone is actually talking to yourself.
This is the only thing he brought from the earth, and the only thing he misses. Especially when he is enveloped in negative emotions, his mobile phone is his only comfort.
"master……"
When he walked outside the door, Ou Lan quickly caught up with him.
"Sister Lan, it's you!"
There is no need to look back or think about it. When you are down and out, no one will really care about you except Sister Lan.
"Yeah." Ou Lan nodded.
"Come in and talk later." With a bitter smile, Chu Jun opened the door and the two of them walked in together.
"Master, are you still angry about what happened just now?" Walking to the table, Ou Lan virtuously poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chu Jun, saying softly.
"How can we pretend that nothing happened just now?" Chu Jun asked.
"Forget it, always thinking about unhappy things will make people unhappy."
"Sister Lan," Chu Jun looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who was a little more mature than him, and said unwillingly: "You also think what I did is wrong? I should be like the two of them, pretending to be a fool and kneel down to others?"
"I didn't say what you did was wrong, but...it doesn't count as what you did, at least it wasn't wise." Ou Lan smiled bitterly, "Chu Hao and Chu Fang both knelt down. They were pretending to be stupid, spineless, and very...
It’s embarrassing. But what about you, you are not afraid of the power of the Shangguan family and have your own principles and pride, but what did you get in exchange? It’s just a greater humiliation than Chu Hao and Chu Fang.”
Chu Jun was silent, it was indeed the case.
"Although what the head of the family said doesn't sound good, it is right. This is a world where the strong are respected. If the strong wants to bully you, you can only let him bully you. Otherwise, you will definitely pay a greater price. You today
That’s an example.”
"Can I just endure it?"
"Unless you are not a weakling, unless you are strong enough not to be afraid of those who bully you, then the wisest thing is to let others slaughter you." Ou Lan emphasized again, "In the past, the strongest people in Xia Yang City were the Chu family and the Meng family.
Although Meng Jing has always been against you, you are considered to be of the same level, so you can fight Meng Jing and resist. As for no one outside the Meng family, no one dares to bully you. So if someone bullies you, you can always retaliate.
They. But today, they met the powerful Shangguan family. If Shangguan Wanru wants to play tricks on the Chu family and you, if you try to play tricks on them in return, you will suffer a big loss."
"Haha, strength... In this world, without strength, it is not even as good as a piece of shit. At least, no one dares to step on the shit!" With clenched fists, Chu Jun's low self-deprecating voice slowly circulated in the room.
of wandering.
This kind of cruel reality may have become commonplace in Xuanling Continent, but as a person from the earth, it is somewhat difficult to accept. Although there are situations on earth where strong people bully weak people, they will not be so blatant and unscrupulous.
, even those officials and those rich people still have to falsely maintain their own image in front of the public. But here, it is completely taken for granted.
"Actually, compared with those years ago, today's things are nothing. Back then, the Chu family was destroyed, and your parents, all your relatives, and even the whole clan were almost all killed. What kind of blood feud was that? But, I
I can only take you with me and run for your life like a bereaved dog, without even the slightest ability to resist. People at that time cried blood and tears from their eyes, and they either stayed up all night or were awakened by hatred and nightmares. Although you were awakened by hatred and nightmares three years ago.
I suddenly forgot everything, but after all, it happened before." Ou Lan touched Chu Jun's shoulder distressedly, and said softly: "You have experienced the humiliation at that time, what is this thing today? Listen.
Mine, forget it, there are some things that are of no use in keeping in mind, so it’s better to forget them.”
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a violent cough came from Ou Lan's small mouth. A sickly blush appeared on her pretty face, and the last trace of Yin Hong's blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?" Chu Jun was shocked and quickly helped Ou Lan.
"When I was palm-to-hand with Huang Haitian just now, I was slightly injured internally. After all, he is a master of the seventh-level soul, and I am only a master of the fifth-level soul. There is a big gap." Ou Lan smiled bitterly.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ou Lan looked at Chu Jun, her expression even more helpless, "It's already humiliating enough. If I vomit blood and show weakness in front of others, won't I be humiliated even more?"
"Sister Lan!" Chu Jun held Ou Lan's hand, and the veins on his palm jumped.
"Whether it's a big insult or a small insult, I won't suffer it again, and I won't let you get hurt a second time! I will retaliate to Shangguan Wan'er sooner or later for what happened today!" Chu Jun's voice
, hoarse but firm.
"Haha, don't embarrass yourself too much." She touched Chu Jun's handsome face lovingly, and said softly: "Eat something, take a bath, then put on a new set of clothes, and then go out for a walk.
, maybe this will make you feel better,"
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Ou Lan nodded, "Then I'll go back to heal my wounds first. If you need anything, come to me."
After saying that, Ou Lan slowly turned around and left.
…
As Olan left, the room became quiet again.
Chu Jun was lying on the bed, looking at the roof with dull eyes. He couldn't calm down for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but take out the mobile phone.
"It turns out that this world may not be as good as the earth. It would be great if you could contact the earth. Even if you can't go back, you can still talk to your family..."
While talking to himself, for the first time, Chu Jun opened a treasured wooden box, took out the battery board, and carefully put it into the mobile phone. Then, for the first time, he pressed the power button——
From the moment he traveled through time, Chu Jun turned off his phone and carefully stored the battery in a dry wooden box. Because he knew very well that once the battery ran out, the phone would never be able to be turned on.
In the past three years, he had never been willing to use it once, but this time, Chu Jun, who was in a bad mood, finally turned it on.
