Chapter 2: Xiao Chen, the Former Genius

In a separate courtyard of the Outer Academy of the Sword Dao Academy.

A teenager with a lonely expression sat in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, his bright eyes full of confusion.

This teenager was Xiao Chen, the chief disciple of the Sword Dao Academy. He was the first genius of the Sword Dao Academy in a hundred years.

After the Outer Academy Grand Competition half a year later, he would be able to enter the Inner Academy and become a true disciple of the Sword Dao Academy.

But all this was dashed to pieces half a month ago.

A month ago, he fought a battle with a monster guarding the ice lotus for a colorful ice lotus.

Although he won the ice lotus, he was seriously injured and his dantian was destroyed, unable to continue his cultivation and completely becoming a useless person.

All of a sudden, he fell from the clouds to the abyss.

Those junior brothers and junior sisters who used to follow him immediately broke away from him.

Those who used to flatter him on weekdays also began to fall into the well one after another, either sarcastically or physically assaulting him every day.

What made him most uncomfortable was not that he became a useless person.

But the fact that he went through all kinds of hardships to bring the colorful ice lotus back to the Questioning Academy and give it to his fiancee, Qin Rou.

As a result, Qin Rou changed her face in less than a month after getting the colorful ice lotus.

She said that she had now been favored by the elders of the Inner Academy and would soon become a true disciple of the Inner Academy.

Xiao Chen, a useless person, simply didn't deserve herself.

And asked the Qin family and Xiao Chen to dissolve the engagement.

Xiao Chen fainted yesterday after receiving this news.

When he woke up early this morning, the bad news came again that the Questioning Academy wanted to expel him and had already informed his mother to come and pick him up.

Thinking of his mother, Xiao Chen's heart ached like a knife.

He was born in the secular Liang Kingdom, the Third Prince's Mansion.

His mother was just a side concubine of the Third Prince, and she had only one child, and she had poured all her life's efforts into herself.

It can be said that he is now all his mother has.

When he left Liang, Xiao Chen swore to his mother that he would definitely become a remarkable existence, go to pick up his mother and leave the mansion to live a good life.

But in just over two years since he came to the Questioning Academy, he broke his promise.

When he thought of the reluctant and gratified eyes of his mother when she parted, Xiao Chen had an urge to commit suicide. How could he still have the face to face his mother now.

Rather than living in this world humiliatingly and being bullied, it would be better to end his life.

He slowly raised his hand and was about to pat his own face.

A familiar voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Chen'er, mother has a piece of good news to tell you."

Xiao Chen heard this voice, and the hand he raised stopped in mid-air.

He turned his head to look at the courtyard gate, and saw his haggard mother standing there with tears in her eyes, forcing a smile on her face.

Plop!

Xiao Chen knelt down on the ground and said to his mother, "Mother, I am unfilial and have caused you trouble."

Concubine Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to help her son up, saying, "Mother is not tired. As long as you are still alive and well, mother will be relieved."

Even though Xiao Chen's heart was as strong as iron, hearing his mother's words, his eyes instantly became moist.

All the grievances he had suffered these days erupted at this moment.

But he still forced himself not to let his tears fall. He couldn't let his mother worry about him anymore.

"Thank you, Mother."

As the saying goes: Mother and son are connected by heart.

How could Concubine Xiao not feel the grievance in her son's heart? She hurriedly said, "Chen'er, don't be uncomfortable. Mother came here today to tell you that you can still stay in the Questioning Academy to cultivate."

"How is that possible?"

Xiao Chen was full of doubts.

Not to mention that his mother was just a side concubine of the Third Prince of Liang, even the Emperor of Liang could not force the Questioning Academy to keep him in the academy.

Compared to the Questioning Academy, a small secular dynasty like Liang was not worth mentioning at all.

Concubine Xiao said, "Have you heard of the Miscellaneous Dao Academy? Their head is willing to accept you as a disciple, and mother has already agreed to him."

"The Miscellaneous Dao Academy."

The doubts on Xiao Chen's face disappeared, replaced by relief.

Now the only place in the Questioning Academy that is willing to offer him a place is the Miscellaneous Dao Academy, which has no famous teachers or students.

But after entering the Miscellaneous Dao Academy, he could only be a mediocre person in his life.

Even if his life was not in danger, he could not think about practicing again.

Seeing that her son did not speak, Concubine Xiao continued to encourage him, "Chen'er, mother believes that you will not be defeated by this little setback. As long as you stay in the Questioning Academy, there will be a day when you can stand up again."

Xiao Chen looked at his mother's hopeful eyes and naturally did not want to disappoint her.

"Mother is right. I can still stand up. I am willing to enter the miscellanea dao Academy."

"Good, good, I will go and invite the head of the miscellanea dao Academy in now."

While Concubine Xiao was saying this, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her son still had the will to fight, and her heart was about to let go.

Xiao Chen said, "Mother, I will go with you to welcome the head of the miscellanea dao Academy."

"Well."

The mother and son walked out of the small courtyard together.

Chu Feng stood outside the wing, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, revealing a handsome arc.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the figures of Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Chen appeared in his field of vision.

He saw the visitor and the corner of his mouth rose slightly.nexpectedly, Mrs. Xiao acted quite quickly.

Xiao Chen walked up to Chu Feng and bowed slightly to him, saying, "Student Xiao Chen pays homage to Chief Chu."

"Rise."

As soon as Chu Feng's voice fell, he saw Xiao Chen kneel down on the ground with a thud.

"Please, Chief, accept me as your disciple!"

Xiao Chen said firmly.

Chu Feng didn't expect this kid to make a decision so quickly. He really deserved to be a man with the protagonist template in a novel.

He raised his hand to help Xiao Chen up: "Okay, I will accept you as my disciple. From today on, you will be my disciple and also the chief disciple of my Miscellaneous Dao Academy."

"Thank you, Master."

Xiao Chen didn't think much about becoming the chief disciple of the Miscellaneous Dao Academy. All he wanted to do was stay in the Questioning Academy to fight for a chance of survival.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting a disciple and rewarding the host with ten years of cultivation and ten years of life."

As soon as the voice fell, Chu Feng felt a powerful spiritual force pouring into his body.

In an instant, he felt warm all over his body and full of strength.

So comfortable!

The smile on Chu Feng's face became even brighter, and his eyes looking at Xiao Chen were especially pleasing.

Xiao Chen was looked at by Chu Feng a little hairy, and subconsciously asked: "Master, what should we do now?"

Chu Feng then restrain the smile and said: "Now I will take you to the academic affairs office to go through the formalities of changing the academy, so that everyone knows that you, Xiao Chen, are my disciple.

In the future, I will cover you, and no one can step on your head."

When Xiao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. These days, he had already suffered enough from white eyes. Chu Feng's concern made him secretly swear in his heart that in the future, he must respect his master and never have any doubts!

"Thank you, Master. From now on, Xiao Chen's life belongs to Master!"
