Chapter 0002: One Punch Down

When Qiu's somewhat sorrowful eyes heard these words, they suddenly brightened like a candle flame being lit in the darkness, shining with a kind of ecstatic light. She fixed her gaze intently on Ren Cangqiong, her delicate body already trembling slightly.

In his previous life, he had a paranoid and cold personality, often taking things too seriously and adhering rigidly to principles. However, he was not domineering

Mother, to be honest with you, during this time of illness, I have engaged in deep self-reflection and have gained some insights. Suddenly, my mind became clear, and the seed of the Great Way awakened within me. Otherwise, do you think I could strike Ren Qinghong to the point of spitting blood with just one punch

The corners of the eyes were also filled with tears

Ren Cangqiong inhaled twice through his nose, took a whiff, and immediately knew that this bowl of medicine was quite expensive. Given their family's current financial situation, the cost of this medicine was likely not easy to come by. A pang of bitterness rose in his heart, making him feel even more indebted.

Moreover, if memory serves correctly, the family is about to face a major crisis

The eighth day! There are still seven days until grandmother's seventieth birthday

This is indeed quite different from his personality in his previous life. No wonder both his mother and Xiao Qi feel surprised

Given this consideration, how could Ren Cangqiong possibly have the inclination to engage in the internal rivalries and jealousies of those families

However, just now, from the moment of stepping out to taking action, there was not a single word of idle chatter, and it was certainly not a matter of dragging one's feet. It was simply left to Ren Qinghong to ramble on, and then with a direct punch, it was decisively and cleanly done

Ren Cangqiong gazed intently and turned to wave at Xiao Qi: "Including Xiao Qi!"

Regardless of how unusual the son's behavior may be, this change is ultimately a positive development

Young master, it has just passed a little after the hour of Wei, and it is now the hour of Shen

These two pieces of information swirled through his mind like lightning, leaving Ren Cangqiong greatly astonished. Just as he was about to take the medicine bowl, his hands suddenly trembled violently, and his eyes emitted a light as sharp as lightning.

As Qiu was about to say something, Xiao Qi's footsteps approached: "Young Master, the medicine is ready; you should drink it while it's hot"

Lost and found again, it truly is lost and found again

What?

Ren Cangqiong smiled casually: "Mother, the strongest of the younger generation of the Ren family is not in their household. You should keep your thoughts to yourself; let us wait and see."

Compared to the joy of rebirth and the happiness of regaining what was lost, the awakening of the seed of the Great Way seems less noteworthy

Xiao Qi's response caused Ren Cangqiong's expression to change once again. Beads of sweat the size of mung beans immediately appeared on his forehead as he turned his head and anxiously asked: "Mother, did my brother come by at noon today?"

The awakening of the seed of the Great Dao in her son was almost the greatest knot in her heart over the years. Yet, she never expected that at this moment of great sorrow and joy, it would be completely unraveled

However, in the previous life, Ren Cangqiong would not awaken the seed of the Great Dao until two years later. By that time, he had already missed the family evaluation, the grand event of Yunluo City, and the talent selection held by Tiange every sixteen years.

Ren Cangqiong's chest felt as if it had been struck heavily, and his face turned pale.

Watching Ren Qinghong roll and crawl out of the courtyard, two pairs of eyes, from two different angles, one far and one near, focused on his face, clearly filled with astonishment and surprise

Ren Cangqiong raised the corner of his mouth, realizing that his previous strike had been somewhat intimidating

Is this still Ren Cangqiong?

Yet, these tears are tears of happiness

Ren Cangqiong chuckled and said: "Mom, you said my Dao seed hasn't awakened, but that's old news."

Xiao Qi's face flushed red, clearly taken aback by the young master's high-level promise, leaving her momentarily flustered and at a loss for what to do with her hands. She mumbled, "I will go check if the medicine is ready."

Seeing this warm scene, Ren Cangqiong felt a deep sense of emotion in his heart, reflecting on how truly miserable his past life had been, as none of the people around him, nor the characters in the books, had a good ending

What?

Fate can sometimes be so harsh; mistakes made in a past life lead to a tragic end.

This is one thing, but the key point is that in that brief moment, the powerful aura emanating from Ren Cangqiong was felt even by these two women who do not practice martial arts, and they sensed something unusual

Ren Cangqiong knelt down before his mother, embracing her legs with both hands, and cried out: "Mother!"

Qiu believed that her son was trying to ease her worries. She deliberately said these words to comfort her. With a sigh, she said: "Cangqiong, my son, even before you were born, a supreme being had already blessed you and planted the seeds of the Great Dao within you. If you can awaken, you will naturally be able to compete for the title of the strongest among the younger generation of the Ren family. Alas... that was sixteen years ago, when your father was at Yunluo City, at the height of his power, and everyone showed him respect. If it were not for that, how could he have been chosen by the Heavenly Pavilion, how could he have obtained the Level 3 Moonlight Medal? That was sixteen years ago, when your father was at Yunluo City, at the height of his power, and everyone showed him respect. If it were not for that, how could he have been chosen by the Heavenly Pavilion, how could he have obtained the Level 3 Moonlight Medal? At that time in Yunluo City, there were six children in their mothers' wombs who had been blessed and had the seeds of the Great Dao planted within them. By now, three or four of them must have awakened, right?"

Ren Cangqiong gazed around, his heart surging with emotion. Looking at this familiar courtyard, every blade of grass and tree, the rockery and fish pond, was exactly as it had been five years ago.

With a single punch, Ren Qinghong was struck to the point of spitting blood and fleeing

Seeing him hesitating with the * diagram * book, Qiu thought that his son was unwilling to take the medicine and advised, "Child, drink it while it's hot. It will nourish your body and help you recover. Today is already the 8th, and in seven days, it will be your grandmother's 70th birthday..."

The most formidable title of the younger generation of the Ren family is hardly worth mentioning

The son's performance just now made her feel, for the first time, the affection and admiration from her son, and for the first time, she felt proud of her son's achievements

At this moment, Qiu had completely been overwhelmed by happiness, unable to contain her joy.

Did you mention Xinghe? He came by once around noon, went to your room to take a look, but you were not awake. He sat for a while and then left

When he spoke these words, Ren Cangqiong did not need any aura of dominance to enhance his authority. With five years of memories from his rebirth, he had numerous turning points in life and countless opportunities awaiting him. As long as he made good use of these opportunities, they could easily be transformed into capital. This capital would be more than sufficient to help him rise above the pinnacle of Yunluo City

The Qiu family is indeed beyond comprehension, and the maid Xiaoqi is also left dumbfounded

"My son, my son..." Qiu felt at a loss as she saw her son experiencing such extreme emotions, and she could only gently stroke his head.

This time, fate appears to be exceptionally generous, not only granting him the opportunity for rebirth but also suddenly awakening his great Dao seed

His gaze wandered around before returning to his mother and Xiao Qi's faces. Looking at his mother's somewhat weathered cheeks from five years ago, Ren Cangqiong suddenly burst into loud laughter three times. As he laughed, tears of emotion began to stream down his cheeks.

In the previous life, this crisis resulted in the loss of at least two-thirds of the experts from the Ren family. Conversely, the branch of Ren Cangqiong, due to its relatively awkward position and not being part of the mainstream circle, managed to preserve itself

After the sense of relief passed, Qiu began to contemplate the aftermath. With some concern, she said: "Child, it is not a big deal that you fought with Qinghong. I only worry that it may be difficult for you to speak to your second uncle. Even though your second uncle, as an elder, should not interfere, Qinghong's brother, Qingyun, is the strongest among the younger generation of our family..."

Mother, I was thoughtless in the past and caused you suffering. I vow that from today onward, I will not allow anyone around me to suffer even the slightest injustice!

Everything is so endearing, so pleasing to the eye

Yes, my child, this is a medicine that your mother has specially prepared for you. Drink it while it's hot to nourish your body

He grasped Xiaoqi's wrist and asked, "Xiaoqi, what time is it now?"

Moreover, coupled with the series of unusual changes exhibited by her son earlier, she finally became convinced that this little son, who had caused her so much worry, had indeed come to his senses
