" And so, I was punished with death by being thrown into this place " Jian Ling said, surprisingly, not a single drop of tears fell from Jian ling eyes. This was quite shocking to the old man as anyone should feel deep anguish when telling life stories especially once like this, but Jian ling case was different, not even an ounce of negative emotion was visible on his face.
But then the old man didn't feel like he could blame Jian ling as after hearing the story, he really couldn't fathom why his parents would do that to their own children. But then again, there could only be one reason that might partially explain that, This was that they were not his biological parent, But even at that, he felt like he needed to go look for this people and beat them to a half death state, and then heal them, and then beat them again, and then heal and then continue the activity for like a hundred times, Then just maybe they would learn their lessons and understand the fact that it takes more than having the same genes to be family. And a funny thing was that if he were outside, considering his personality, he would actually do it, but as that wasn't the case, he had no choice but to just focus on consoling Jian ling.
" Sorry for that, no one deserves that kind of life " Old Qing said sadly, obviously taking part in Jian ling pain.
" Hoh, no problem I had already forgotten about it " Jian Ling Replied.
Old Qing just look at Jian ling and for a while before shaking his head and then muttered in a voice that only Jian ling could hear, even if there was a person only a few meters from them, they wouldn't hear it, He muttered " Have you really " Posing it as a question to Jian ling. It wasn't that he wanted to ring out bad memories for Jian ling or anything like that, but he had no choice.
Jian ling was currently behaving like he gave no damn about the incidence, but if the old man thoughts were right, Jian Ling had yet to forget it, instead what he was doing now was lying, A lie not just to Old Qing, but also to his self.
" Look boy, I can't say I understand what transpired with you as even though I have heard, hearing is far more different and lesser to experiencing. But then if there is anything I have learnt in this years of my life is that trying to kill an emotion or thought doesn't work, it would only push it towards a place in you where it probably wouldn't affect you again, which should be good if not that it effect only last for a while as a day would still come the feeling, thought or emotion would be unsealed and become a heart demon that will hinder your cultivation, maybe kill you or even possess you and take control over your body " The old man gave Jian ling a long lecture.
Jian ling hand trembled a bit, but even though it was a bit, it didn't go unnoticed by him and the man, Jian ling looked at his hand in shock. Though he was looking at his hands, his thought was not actually there as even though on the outside it was only his hands that moved, within him, it was different as he felt something else, He felt a short pain from his heart side, though short, but the pain was actually kind of painful.
His eyes turned sideways, and he stared at Old Qing only to meet old Qing eyes already staring at him.
" What should I do " Jian Ling asked.
" What do you do when you are sad " Old Qing responded with a question.
Hearing him, Jian ling went into deep contemplation, 'what do I do when I am sad' He asked himself the question repeatedly why old Qing just kept on looking at him with a smirk. Suddenly he thought of something, 'could it be' he asked himself again.
" Cr..yy..yy " Jian ling muttered a bit embarrassed, he refused to believe that was it.
Old Qing let out a chuckle before finally speaking, " Yes, Cry. I would be leaving now, you stay back and cry it all out, remember do not hold back, forget the shame and then you would feel the relieve it brings " After he finish speaking, He turned his back against Jian ling and started leaving.
As he walked away, Jian ling on the other hand just stood there looking at the sky and then all of a sudden, A drop of tear fell from the right side of his eyes, and then two drops on the two sides, and then four drops, and then just like that drops after drops kept falling, The peculiar thing about this tears was that this wasn't blood dripping from his eyes or anything out of the ordinary, It was just pure tears, He was truly crying.
