Chapter 001

To this day, I clearly remember the moment my father handed me the booklet; there was a hint of expectation on his face, followed by a sense of worry. In fact, I did not fully understand the meaning of these two emotions at that time; I only knew what they were called.

Can Ren insist on living in the original home, but his uncle does not insist either, so he hires someone specifically to take care of Ren's daily life. Ren's uncle never allows him to have less in terms of food, clothing, and necessities than others, but he also never gives too much money for Ren's pocket money. If Ren desires something, even if it is expensive, his uncle is never stingy.

That year, resilience was ten years old, and charm was also ten years old

Feng Liu spoke with flair, his hands holding the sword in a seemingly skilled manner, and he directed it towards the large rock in front of the two individuals, channeling a not particularly strong internal force to strike down. The blade emitted a bright light as it almost effortlessly cleaved into the rock. With a sense of triumph, Feng Liu withdrew the divine weapon, revealing a gap in the rock covered with a thin layer of frost.

One must reluctantly admit that this does not seem to be any special ability

Originally burdened with numerous charges, the charismatic Qin, after a sudden turnaround, soon resumed command of his troops and achieved three consecutive victories. The Emperor, driven by a tinge of guilt towards the charismatic Qin, as well as a degree of reliance and the favoritism of the Empress Dowager and others, conferred upon him the title of the fourth prince of the current dynasty

The thought of leaving the rivers and lakes and entering the court was dispelled by my uncle

The cold light radiated in all directions, illuminating a clear area of several meters on the hillside as dusk approached the darkening sky. The deep purple sword hilt, resembling a layer of thin frost, and the blade flowing with a bright white sheen left the onlooker, Can Ren, utterly astonished.

With a playful smile, Fengliu looked at Canren's disappointed expression and said, "Canren, I told you long ago, you must have dreamt about it, yet you forgot that you once dreamed of it." Canren pouted and nonchalantly replied, "Let's not talk about that; let's go out and try your new sword."

Feng Liu was carefree on the surface, yet his heart harbored other thoughts. He had once mentioned to his father the matter concerning Can Ren, but his father's expression was strange, and he merely said that the Jianghu was a distant place, where many who went never returned. Naturally, Feng Liu dared not speak of this to Can Ren, even though he never truly understood what Jianghu was. Feng Liu was well-versed in geography, yet he had never known of a place called Jianghu.

Can Ren is nine years old this year, born in Chenliu, and has grown up in Chenliu. Compared to children of the same age, Can Ren appears to be much more reserved.

Canren once had a strong desire to venture into the world to search for his father, and he was also stirred by romantic notions, which evoked another kind of imagination about the court and the future. Canren has a very good uncle, or at least that is what Canren believes. His uncle cares for him deeply but does not indulge him. Although he possesses the invisible dignity of an elder, he is able to provide Canren with a sense of camaraderie in their conversations.

Resilient at the age of nine

Had it not been for this turn of events, Can Ren and Feng Liu would have belonged to two entirely different worlds with almost no possibility of intersection, and they would never have become particularly good friends. Especially since Feng Liu, being a person who values friendship, has always been grateful for the help that Can Ren's father provided in the past.

The current emperor has never been inclined to hold Fengliu Qin accountable. Firstly, Fengliu Qin hails from a family of military generals, and prior to him, all seven male members of his family had led troops into battle and ultimately perished on the battlefield. Fengliu Qin himself is also one of the most esteemed commanders of the current era. Secondly, his deep affection for the princess is known throughout the court, and this rare sentiment has garnered the admiration of many.

Canren has liked swords since childhood, a fondness that is inexplicable. Canren has always been this way; many of the things he loves have no particular reason behind them. However, once he becomes fond of something, it is difficult for him to ever feel aversion towards it. On the day his father left, he solemnly handed Canren a tattered book, which was referred to as a "secret manual".

The charming expression carried a hint of pride, almost boasting as he said: "This sword is the Chixiao, one of the ten ancient divine weapons, which was later renamed Zixiao by the founder of the legendary Zixiao Sword Sect in ancient texts."

Looking at Canren, who nodded seriously, he said, "Uncle, I remember, I do not like martial arts." The uncle revealed a gentle smile, lifted Canren onto his shoulder, and as usual, pointed to the seemingly distant sunset, telling Canren one story after another.

The resilient figure smiles lightly in the morning breeze, yet does not respond

Resilient, she looked up at the distant sky, "Where exactly is the Jianghu? What kind of place is it? Why has my father been gone for so long, with not a single word of news..."

Can always trust Uncle's words, this trust even surpasses that towards his own father

However, my father said that Chixiao represents the fearless spirit of holding on to one's beliefs and never giving up. I must use it and work twice as hard in the future, achieving something worthy of this sword. " Fengliu suddenly seemed to recall something, his expression showing a hint of concern as he asked, "Have you heard any news about your father?"

Even so, Canren is merely an ordinary child; there are many children who do not like to talk and do not enjoy lively environments, and Canren is just one of the relatively few among them

This persistence, after several years, due to the lack of further explanation, and the fact that these feelings did not coincide with any special events in the days to come, gradually became forgotten and turned into one of the resilient habitual experiences.

The heart of a romantic naturally understands the lingering resilience, even if it internally agrees with the words of the books, it certainly will not admit it outwardly. With a small hand, the romantic grasped the hilt of the sword at the waist, drawing forth a glimmer of cold light that cannot be described as swift, unsheathing the divine weapon from its scabbard.

Can Ren has no interest in martial arts at all. Can Ren likes swords, purely for the sake of the swords themselves, rather than for the sake of wielding them and performing seemingly profound and powerful sword techniques. However, due to his father's words, Can Ren began to practice diligently the manual left by his father. Can Ren always felt that since his father entrusted it to him, there must be a reason, and he could not treat it lightly.

The tenacious individual firmly believes that these familiar feelings stem from having indeed been here before, and even feels that certain events have occurred in these places. However, no matter how much the tenacious individual searches through the limited memories of the past few years, they cannot find any trace of it.

Resilient, your father has matters to attend to in the Jianghu, and the date of his return is uncertain. During the days your father is away, your uncle will take good care of you. Since you enjoy swordsmanship, you should diligently practice the martial arts in this manual. Although, to be honest, I do not wish for you to practice martial arts.

The Empress Dowager, if the Emperor himself claims to have no particular affection for the charming Qin, that would naturally be false. Therefore, after the charming Qin was imprisoned, there was a prolonged delay in reaching a verdict. Not long after, the Prince of Yun was discovered to have engaged in treasonous activities, and a significant number of letters indicating collusion were found in the Prince's residence, among which were important pieces of evidence related to the charming Qin's case

More than a year ago, after the departure of Canren's father from Chenliu, his whereabouts became unknown. Fengliu Qin originally intended to adopt Canren as his son and bring him back to his residence for education and upbringing. However, Canren was resolutely unwilling, and since he had an uncle engaged in business who took care of his daily life, Fengliu Qin had no choice but to abandon the idea.

As usual, Feng Liu took out another wooden sword he carried with him and called out to Can Ren to practice the newly learned sword techniques from https://wwwhetushucom.com. In fact, Feng Liu's true intention was to indirectly teach Can Ren the new sword moves he had learned from his teacher, although it seemed that Can Ren had always been disinterested.

Nodding slightly as if in understanding, yet with an expression of utmost seriousness. Uncle smiled gently, then spoke with a grave tone: "If you do not truly enjoy martial arts, I hope you will promise me, dear nephew, that in the future, when faced with any situation, you must never draw the sword at your waist. Forget the fact that you practice martial arts; those who are skilled in water can drown in it. If you cannot forget your stance in life, martial arts will only bring about your ruin."

"Quite impressive! Your father is truly good to you, even willing to entrust you with the ancient Ten Divine Weapons," Can Ren said, with a hint of surprise and envy in his voice, as Feng Liu carefully sheathed the sword. "I have always performed to my father's satisfaction, and being the only son, I am naturally treated differently. Moreover, my mother passed away early, so my father dotes on me even more."

For Canren, however, there is a sense of being different from others. In the past, when he was younger, Canren always felt that he possessed special abilities. This was because, on many occasions, he found certain paths or the scenery both inside and outside the city to be incredibly familiar.

Feng Liu, born into a royal family, faced turmoil several years ago due to the upheaval of war, which forced the young Feng Liu to flee with his father. Fortunately, with the assistance of his resilient father, Zhang Yi, they managed to escape from their pursuers. At that time, the country was under immense pressure following its defeat in battle. Feng Liu's father, originally a nobleman, had gained significant military achievements and was later married to a princess of the current dynasty.

Cang Ren clearly remembered, holding the sword with both hands. When he finished practicing the mental techniques from the booklet, his uncle stood solemnly in front of him. Upon seeing Cang Ren open his eyes after concluding his practice, he gently crouched down.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face. "Resilient, when I grow up, I will definitely become a great leader like a father! At that time, you must help me. Together, we brothers will surely sweep through the four nations and accomplish the Emperor's unification mission"

Resilience, no matter how you choose the path of the future, your uncle will not stop you. However, your uncle hopes you remember that regardless of the life you choose in the future, you must first ensure that you live reliably. If you lose your reliable existence, no matter what kind of life you lead, you will continuously lose.

This results in resilient peers being fewer in number compared to most others, and it also leads to most adults who know resilient individuals having little fondness for them

However, Fengliu was granted special permission, and apart from studying and practicing martial arts each month, there were always a few days when he could leave the residence to seek out remnants of pleasure. Originally, Prince Qin was extremely strict in his discipline of young Fengliu, coming from a family of military generals and fully aware that the education of children must never be indulged due to affection.

The resilient uncle has always been single. However, the resilient uncle has many women, but he only allows them to be called by their names. The resilient uncle is a businessman; what specific business he engages in, the resilient one has never asked. All that is known is that the uncle is very busy, and even during his time in Chenliu, he never stays long.

Unfortunately, the princess passed away early, leaving behind only her son, Fengliu. However, Fengliu Qin is a stubborn and infatuated lover, unable to accept any other woman. Faced with the potential internal responsibility shifting and power struggles within the court, and fearing for the safety of his only bloodline, he entrusted Fengliu to the resilient family for half a year.

The expression on Canren's face suddenly turned cold, and in a flat tone, he said: "No. Perhaps there will never be any news again." Fengliu placed a hand on Canren's left shoulder, comforting him like an adult, and said: "Canren, don't think too much. Uncle is such a good person; he wouldn't just leave you like this. He will definitely come back from the Jianghu to find you"
