Chapter 2, Starting Over, How Much Beauty Should We Hold On To?

At the utterance of a single word, Chu Yang was momentarily taken aback

This place is truly too familiar

Under the tutelage of my master, including myself and Tan Tan, there are a total of three disciples! The one who poisoned is the eldest senior brother! Shi Qianshan

Chu Yang furrowed his brow, his head still throbbing with pain, and softly shouted, "Shut up!" He truly could not endure it any longer. If you say a couple more words, I might as well stab myself in the heart again. After all, I am someone who has already died once; must I still suffer the torment of your terrifying voice? Is there any justice in this world? ... Not even death allows for peace...

A voice whispered in my ear, almost on the verge of tears: "Hey... you... don't scare me, I... I... as such a handsome and charming person, can't handle being frightened..."

At the most critical moment, although he was still unable to withdraw in time, he managed to dissipate most of the force from the stick, resulting in only a minor injury to himself

However, the person who poisoned did not anticipate that during this period, although Tan Yan appeared to be on par with him, in reality, his skills surpassed his own. When engaging in combat, he always held back a portion of his strength.

Chu Yang looked around, and after taking another glance, he finally confirmed that he had indeed been reborn! He had returned to the age of sixteen. This completely impossible event was now happening to him in reality, and even with Chu Yang's resilient nerves, he was suddenly astonished with joy.

His voice, though low, was filled with authority. The chilling demeanor of the Poison Sword Martial Sovereign emanated invisibly. The incessantly chattering fellow was so intimidated by the severity contained within his brief words that he was momentarily stunned, unable to utter a single word

Chu Yang rolled his eyes, suddenly feeling a mix of wanting to hit someone and wanting to laugh, much like the feeling one gets from a comic book

It seems that when the heavens were creating people, they mistakenly placed the voice of a duck on him, and it was the voice of a male duck at that

The sound was long and resonant, lingering endlessly. ... Surprisingly, a faint echo emerged, yet that echo truly transformed into a 'howl ...' ... ...

What is going on?

It is like a galaxy, separating the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, gazing at each other from afar. ... Such eyes, even if they were to become cross-eyed ... would still be quite difficult.

After the completion, the heavens felt something was amiss, and thus made a compensation by borrowing half of the wolf's voice...

Such a appearance, to say it has character...! ... This can no longer be described! It is simply too full of character, it should be one of a kind in heaven and on earth!

It seemed that he had no reaction, so the man called out again: "Really... is there no breath left? Wuw..." This cry, however, sounded like the whistle of a train. If someone were to hear it from afar, they would surely think it was a hungry wolf howling.

However, the most peculiar aspect is that although his eyes are large and expressive, the distance between the two eyes is somewhat excessive, with one eye almost adjacent to the left ear, while the other... is a neighbor to the right ear

What kind of world is this

The eyebrows are naturally two sword-like arches. However, they are like two swords; one sword pierces the heavens, while the other sword cleaves through hell—remarkably, the directions are completely opposite!

With large eyes, a prominent nose, and a small mouth, the eyebrows are also like two swords. Moreover, the complexion is fair, neither fat nor thin

The mouth is also very small, even quite rosy. www.hetushu....comcom But a truly cherry-like small mouth is situated on the face of a big man... especially on the face of such a big man...

Who is this person? They are still complaining. Complaining is one thing, after all, who would want to encounter such situations? ... Yet even in their complaints, they haven't forgotten to praise themselves a few times...

This mixed sound, combining the slightly hoarse voice of a drake and the vocal cords of a wolf that has been hungry for a long time... not to mention humans, even tigers... listening to it for too long would drive one to madness

Just now, with his eyes closed, he was merely listening to the sound, and Chu Yang had already confirmed it. Upon opening his eyes and taking a glance, he almost instantly knew where he was now

Tan Tan, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "The reason should be that I am just too handsome... and the reason you were abandoned, I estimate, is that you are just too ugly..."

What appeared before him was a face. Yes, it was that gentleman who had been incessantly praising his own handsome and elegant appearance. Indeed, apart from him and Chu Yang, there was no one else present.

Where is this

This voice seems somewhat familiar...! Such a voice is truly one of a kind...! A jolt ran through Chu Yang's heart as memories from many years ago suddenly surged into his mind...

Truly talented, Chu Yang thought to himself. He could also tell that this voice was indeed filled with both fear and sadness, which could not be feigned; however, this voice... was truly hard to commend.

... ...

Turning back, as he carefully examined the brother who had been lost and then found, Chu Yang's eyes radiated deep emotion. His voice was somewhat hoarse, yet he teased, "Tan Tan, I finally understand the truth behind your abandonment back then..." Indeed, if such a fellow were to be born... how resilient must that nerve be to not be frightened into letting go.

Tianwai Tower, the back mountain, and the Purple Bamboo Forest. This scene recalls when I was sixteen, practicing staff techniques with Tan Tan. I suddenly lost my focus, and it was then that Tan Tan, unable to stop in time, struck me with a staff and knocked me unconscious.

Chu Yang was stunned for a moment before he finally responded. He took a deep breath to suppress the tumultuous emotions surging within him, yet his face flushed with a deep crimson. He could feel his heart pounding violently, as if it were about to leap out of his mouth

In my memory, I lay in bed for half a month due to this injury

Tan Tan, you are still so talkative and self-absorbed! Absolutely out of touch.

Those who poison themselves have far more than just one target. His original plan was to time it perfectly, allowing Tan Tan to strike him dead with a single blow, thus ensuring Tan Tan's demise as well

Light Dance! Chu Yang suddenly woke up, and before he even opened his eyes, he cried out in pain. He could only feel his heart convulsing, aching, but the sound was so faint it resembled a moan, almost inaudible to himself

Such narcissism has reached a level that astonishes the heavens and weeps the spirits

There is also a pool of blood at my feet

Could it be that I have actually returned to the age of sixteen? ... But this ... ? ... How is that possible? ?

This face is definitely not ugly

Before me lies an expanse of endless mountains and rocks, the setting sun on the horizon resembling blood. Surrounding me are the drifting purple bamboos, akin to the swirling purple clouds at the edge of the sky, undulating in waves in the gentle breeze from m.hetushu.com

I clearly saw the gentle dance welcoming me, that familiar soft smile, that tenderness that has already seeped into my very bones

Who can find a duplicate of oneself ... Well, Chu Yang felt that he could almost worship the person who finds such a person, as the difficulty is immense

This person is indeed Chu Yang's childhood friend and junior disciple, Tan Tan. The "Tan" in his name means to talk, and the "Tan" in "Tan Hua" refers to the night-blooming cereus. This name truly evokes a strong feeling.

Is it really starting over from scratch now

This mountain, this stone, this scene, this pain, is surprisingly familiar

A sharp pain struck my head, and when I reached up to touch it, my hand was covered in bright red blood

With a groan, Chu Yang finally managed to open his eyes. He simply could not lie down any longer; despite being a renowned Poison Sword Martial Sovereign, he could not endure such sounds.

The nose is quite prominent, but...! ... This nose is a bit too prominent; the bridge resembles a mountain range, actually separating the two eyes!

It was only later that I realized I had not merely made a mistake in my practice, but had been poisoned by someone, resulting in a complete paralysis of my body during a certain period of time

The death of Tan Tan back then had a significant impact on Chu Yang. It made his already reclusive personality even more withdrawn and silent

Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, but found the sunlight before him dazzling, and in an instant, golden stars danced before his eyes... He had no choice but to close his eyes again, and then slowly opened them once more

"It's just practicing with the stick, isn't it? You can't possibly be knocked back by me with just one hit, can you?" The voice trembled, clearly frightened: "... They hit you with so many sticks and you were fine, why is it that when I hit you once, you blame it on me? ... This is so unfair! Are you jealous of my handsome looks and deliberately trying to frame me?"

If everything were to start over, how much should I let go in life

Tan Tan and Chu Yang are close friends, both orphans, or rather, abandoned children, taken in and raised by their master. When Chu Yang was nineteen years old, Tan Tan went out and suddenly news of his death arrived. Even now, Chu Yang still does not know why Tan Tan died at that time or who his enemies were. He has investigated for a long time but has not found any clues.

Chu Yang felt a wave of confusion in his heart, wondering, could it be that I am really not dead yet? However, who is this fellow calling out beside my ear? ... Truly extraordinary, clearly on the verge of being scared to death, yet still not forgetting to be narcissistic

It resembles a dish: a piece of snow-white tofu, topped with a bright red cherry

However, upon seeing his appearance, Chu Yang was immediately filled with a sense of familiarity, while simultaneously feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation. He genuinely felt that it was a case of 'excessive restraint of natural talent' to use the term 'handsome and elegant' to describe this person

His complexion suddenly turned as cold and grim as a harsh winter, becoming increasingly frigid. A subtle aura of impending danger lingered around him, and Tan Tan, standing beside him, inexplicably felt a bone-chilling cold in the midst of this sweltering summer, unable to help but shiver involuntarily.

"Awake, awake! Hahaha, I knew it! You were stunned by my handsomeness, not fainted..." The voice continued to ravage Chuyang's ears: "I told you, why were you staring at my face and couldn't look away while we were having a good time... So that's how it is!"

A cold light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes as he silently recited these three words in his heart: Stone, Thousand, Mountain

Within the sect, mutual sparring is a common occurrence, but killing someone is a significant matter! It is certain that Tan Tan will be expelled from the sect!

Chuyang was left speechless
