No.
Gu Ping took a deep breath, feeling that his injuries had nearly healed. His powerful self-healing ability made Elder Qian marvel once again at how formidable the Little Guy was. Recently, there had been many rumors about him, one of which made everyone pay attention: that the Little Guy was not even ten years old, and such talent was truly terrifying.
Moreover, was that really a punishment? Two months might seem long to mortals in the World of Mortals, but in the cultivation world, it was merely a brief moment—like Coco taking a break for tea. Perhaps two months could just be a quick nap. Although the Yin Wind Cave was quite unsuitable for cultivation, where one could easily suffer from bone-chilling pain due to the cold winds, hadn’t the Master said that emerging during the Outer Academy Martial Arts Exhibition would lead to recognition and possibly even the position of Sect Master’s Senior Brother?
That was something ordinary disciples could only dream of. For regular disciples, it would be akin to stepping into heaven, gaining access to abundant resources and training from the academy. With such high talent and rapid cultivation speed, it wouldn’t be long before he surpassed his peers.
In fact, those disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall were mistaken; Gu Ping had already surpassed his contemporaries. In the Outer Court now, he might soon breach the boundary of immortality. If it weren’t for Ren He’s personal issues, Gu Ping would not have faced defeat.
Was this really set in stone? It made everyone envious; they speculated that Gu Ping might even be a descendant of Master Keke or perhaps even his illegitimate child.
As I approached him, my Master waved his hand, and a cloud appeared before Gu Ping. He bowed respectfully and stepped onto the cloud, flying alongside my Master into the distance.
This was Gu Ping's first visit to the Main Peak of the Cracked Screen Mountains—Chengfeng. There were no grand halls or solemn gatekeepers as one might imagine; instead, there stood a blue pillar reaching into the sky. Gu Ping knew this must connect Mok Ming Academy with the heavenly realm.
Through this passage, cultivators could safely reach the heavenly realm without breaking through the void. This was what mortals referred to as heaven, while immortals used celestial tokens or divine monuments to traverse this route to the Eastern Realm without being weakened by laws.
Tomorrow would be fine; my Master did not blame Gu Ping for anything. His tone was calm as if stating a fact, exuding an aura that commanded respect. He understood that I had grievances over some wrongdoings by certain people in the academy and hoped I could show more understanding.
How could I understand? They seemed intent on taking his life. Gu Ping gazed toward the eastern peaks, where an endless sea of clouds lay before him, yet he felt out of place within this academy; perhaps he shouldn’t have come here at all.
I held many secrets that he had never inquired about. Did he know why?
The disciple understood.
I am a clever child, gifted and diligent, but perhaps it is precisely that which makes some people fear me. Moreover, I possess the Light Attribute and the Heavenly Spirit Root.
He knows this, but he would never compromise on that matter.
Why should I slow down my cultivation? A thirst for knowledge cannot be rushed; my impatience now may lead to hidden troubles in the future.
There are many people and many matters that cannot wait. Even if he wishes to slow down, those people will not halt their pace.
I have plenty of time to deal with those individuals.
But time is running out.
Many things require the attention of those who are willing; just think of Minghong. My master, the Bright Red Person, can see where Gu Ping comes from and what he seeks. He believes Gu Ping is wrong, so he has never stopped that young man's thoughts. After all, Gu Ping only wishes to survive.
I have been somewhat obsessive; such a mindset could lead me astray. My master pointed this out; my mindset should not be like that. From the Heart's Path, it is clear that I have taken a wrong turn.
"I have gone astray."
Gu Ping looked at his master, not understanding Minghong's meaning. He has never felt he had any faults. Even during that public murder, it was not his intention; some people wanted him dead because they did not wish to see him grow. Whether from outside the academy or from various perspectives, I don't deny it. From a bright perspective, Gu Ping should not exist in this world. As long as he lives another day, there is one more glimmer of hope for brightness to rise.
But now his master says he has taken a wrong path, and he feels his master is mistaken. There is much heart in the Heart's Path. At that moment, what did his decision truly represent? Gu Ping felt somewhat lost.
Yin Wind Gorge reflected on Yi Dong.
