Chapter 2, Never Give Up (Part 1)

Su Chen whispered softly, and her dazed and vacant eyes finally revealed a glimmer of brightness

Mingshu scratched his head and said, "I just can't stand their nonsense. Clearly, Fourth Young Master, you are the first among the third generation of the Su family, yet they insist on saying it is Second Young Master."

Until one morning, he said: "I want to cultivate martial arts"

I have already memorized the route here, so I can come by myself. I am here to strengthen my body, not to be served by others; their presence would actually be detrimental.

Ming Shu stared blankly at Su Chen's back

Yes, from that day on, he once again embarked on the path of martial cultivation as a member of the Su family.

Someone is starting to feel unwell

The individual being praised is a thirteen-year-old boy. Although he is young, he possesses a remarkably strong and robust physique

At the moment he learned of his blindness, Su Chen was on the verge of madness

Su Qing is undoubtedly one of them

This has surprised many people, leaving them puzzled as to what has motivated Su Chen to recover so quickly. Nevertheless, this is ultimately a good thing

At the moment of awakening, an indescribable pain lingered in the eyes

Ah! Only now did Ming Shu remember that Su Chen could not see. He hurried over to lift a pair of heavy stone locks for him: "Here, Fourth Young Master, be careful... Fourth Young Master, why are you alone again? Where are the servants?"

A personal maid came up to help Su Chen change clothes, and there were also servants who had prepared hot water.

Perhaps it is for this reason that when Su Qing's sycophants shamelessly flattered their master, he stood up to speak a word of justice, and although he was beaten for it, Ming Shu felt it was worth it

But Su Chen ultimately did nothing

... ...

Hello

"He is the first, so let him be the first. What is there to argue about?" Su Chen replied淡淡: "I am blind; even if I reach the fifth level of body refinement, I am still just a blind man"

A group of subordinates behind him exchanged glances, then turned around and began to punch and kick the young servant, beating him until his face was bruised and swollen, before cursing and leaving.

This situation persisted for three months before gradually improving

Yet, no matter how profound the pain may be, it is still greater than the fear brought about by that eternal darkness

You are nothing but a blind person

Three months later, Su Chen reached the fifth level of body refinement

At that time, I will be the first person from the Su family in three generations

Perhaps it was due to becoming accustomed to the existence of darkness, or perhaps it was the realization that misfortune had already taken hold; no matter how one might go mad, it could not change the established facts. Su Chen finally awakened.

Although he is blind, he remains the most outstanding among the third generation of the Su family.

The second young master is truly impressive

Su Chen's father, Su Cheng'an, was enraged and ordered a citywide manhunt for the old beggar. However, it was all in vain. The old beggar could not be found, and Su Chen's eyes were declared completely blind, unable to see anything, not even the sensation of light.

At that time, the Su family felt genuinely happy for Su Chen's awakening

The little servant was indeed stubborn, holding his head and remaining silent until the group of lower servants had left. Only then did he stand up, dust himself off, and spit at the group of lower servants. He was a mere errand boy in the training ground, not a follower of the second young master, so at this moment, he got up and busied himself with tidying the training ground.

"What does it mean to fight for those few words? It is simply asking for a beating."

In the scorching summer, at the training ground of the Su family courtyard, a group of young people is enthusiastically practicing martial arts, occasionally letting out powerful shouts.

During that period, Su Chen was in such pain that he cried and threw tantrums every day, smashing everything he could get his hands on

Su Chen was already standing on the training ground: "Ming Shu, what are you doing? Why aren't you coming over to help?"

A deathly silence enveloped the entire venue

The encounter that took place ten months ago left Su completely blind

He no longer went mad, but instead fell into a prolonged silence

His name is Su Qing, one of the third generation descendants of the Su family, and he is the son of Su Keji, the second son of the Su family

Su Chen stood quietly under the tree, dressed in a long white robe, the hem swaying gently in the wind. Although he was merely a boy just over twelve years old, he exuded an indescribable ethereal aura. However, his eyes, though appearing no different from those of ordinary people, were vacant and devoid of spirit, lacking any trace of liveliness

At that time, no one expected Su Chen to achieve anything on his path of cultivation and martial arts. A blind person, even if he were to surpass the Body Refinement stage and enter the Qi Induction realm, what difference would it make?

At that time, the Su family genuinely cared for and cherished Su Chen

"Fourth Young Master?" the young servant exclaimed in astonishment

However, the encounter that took place ten months ago changed everything

Regarding the flattery from those beneath him, Su Qing clearly finds it quite gratifying, even if some of it is not factual, it does not hinder Su Qing's positive self-perception

A simple-minded little servant said: "The Fourth Young Master has already reached the fifth level of body refinement some time ago."

Su Chen, it is sufficient for you to play the role of a blind person and to be a weakling; we will all care for you and look after you, is that not good? Why do you still want to awaken? Why do you insist on cultivating earnestly? Why must you progress so rapidly? Even if you are the best of the third generation, what does it matter? Do you truly believe that you can still defeat anyone?

Sweat dripped down from the forehead, glistening brilliantly under the sunlight

Su Chen could sense this sentiment, but he could not simply say that he would give up because of it

In that seemingly endless long night, this sentence was like a candle flame in the dark, igniting the light of hope in Su Chen's heart, becoming the source of his unwavering motivation!

Su Chen spoke as he lifted the stone lock, beginning a day of practice

Until three months later

The little servant did not dare to retaliate, still stubbornly saying: "That is also the fifth level of body refinement"

With a sigh, a hand struck the stone slab, shattering it with a single blow

The feeling of being perpetually second is undoubtedly unpleasant, but if one cannot even win against a blind person, it becomes even more frustrating

It seems that in a few days, I will be able to enter the fifth level of body refinement

The former Fourth Young Master was so spirited, radiant, and full of confidence

Perhaps it is also the thoughts of some other third-generation descendants

Let me give you a new pair of eyes Let me give you a new pair of eyes

Despite the Su family having sought the help of more than ten so-called "famous doctors" and "miracle healers," none were able to restore Su Chen's health

This behavior once caused Su Chen's mother, Tang Hongrui, great concern, fearing that her son might commit suicide

Su Chen said as he walked towards the training ground

That was the most painful moment in Su Chen's life; no matter how much his family comforted and advised him, they could not free him from the fear and anger brought about by that darkness

After finishing a day of exercise, Su Chen returned to the courtyard

The little servant smiled with a cracked mouth and said: "The Fourth Young Master has heard it all; I am just a bit dissatisfied on your behalf, so I spoke a few extra words."

Sitting in the heated bathtub, feeling the warmth of the water dispelling all fatigue, Su Chen let out a long sigh, yet what surfaced in his mind was the scene of the old beggar's two cold stars and the * picture * book striking his eyes.

However, there are always those clueless fools

Just a few steps out, I saw a person standing under the large willow tree not far away

Su Qing's expression then darkened

Hearing the voice of the young servant, Su Chen smiled: "Ming Shu, you are being stubborn again"

Good! A round of applause erupted in the training ground

An old beggar, whose origins were unknown, blinded the Fourth Young Master. From that moment on, the Fourth Young Master was accompanied only by endless darkness. During that time, he once found himself trapped in a vortex of pain, unable to extricate himself, but soon he emerged from his suffering and continued on his path of martial arts. His blindness did not lead him to give up; rather, it accelerated his progress. In just a few months, he advanced from the Fourth Layer of Body Refinement to the Fifth Layer.

Su Chen was utterly despondent

The words of the old beggar echoed in my mind: "Meeting me is your fortune, for I will grant you a future of infinite possibilities. Allow me to exchange your eyes, so that you may see more, and also help you to discern the true nature of this world!"

Su Qing could no longer bear to listen and turned away abruptly

Therefore, regarding the persistence and efforts of the Fourth Young Master, Ming Shu holds a genuine admiration.

There is no doubt that this is Su Qing's thought.

In a moment, a clever servant gave the little servant a slap on the head and said, "What nonsense are you talking? How can a blind man compare to the second young master?"
