Chapter 68 I Don’t Want to Become a Shame on the Pillar of Shame (Please Read) "Minor? Can't fall in love early? What a weird reason." Xu Gu was also stunned. As far as he knew, in this world, although the age for coming-of-age ceremonies varied, the age for starting a family was generally very young, as young as thirteen or fourteen. Li Shaobai is obviously over this age. Perhaps this is the upbringing of a righteous family of immortals. Underage people are not allowed to flirt with women or cause trouble. "Then you should be almost an adult, right?" Xu Gu asked back. Li Shaobai was speechless. Xu Gu raised his eyelids slightly, as if he had thought of something, and asked in surprise: "What is the requirement for adulthood set by your family? Isn't it also about defeating your father?" He thought of the strange conditions that Zhao Jingang's family wanted to set for adulthood. Judging from the personalities of these people, the family traditions of their families should be similar. How could they be so serious? "How is this possible? We are all sword practitioners in my family. How could we set such a stupid condition? Isn't this pure torture for future generations?" Li Shaobai shook his head and said, "I just need to practice the Merciless Sword to perfection, and then I will become an adult."
“…” Xu Gu’s mouth twitched. Yours isn't much better than the adult conditions in Zhao Jingang's family, right? Considering how powerful and heaven-defying the Merciless Sword is that you all talk about, if the Merciless Sword were perfected, would there still be any enemies in the world? Xu Gu thought for a moment and advised, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. “The reason why your Li family set this family rule is to prevent someone from falling in love with someone else while practicing the Merciless Sword, which would interfere with their practice and affect their future achievements. “The essence is to protect you and prevent the outside world from affecting your practice. “And now, you have already begun to realize the truth and comprehend the brilliant path of the Amorous Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword. "Then naturally, there is no need to abide by this family rule. After all, this family rule is already hindering your practice. Doesn't this go against the original intention of your ancestor when he made this family rule?" "Is that so?" Li Shaobai's eyes lit up, "It seems to be so." Xu Gu nodded: "Be more confident, that's it." However, Li Shaobai hesitated again and said: "But... what if the path I've realized is not that easy to follow? I mean, what if I can't control myself and fall into it? Then won't I be able to cultivate the Merciless Sword? Then won't I have no excuse to violate the family rules?" As he spoke, a trace of sadness appeared on Li Shaobai's face. It’s not that he is worried about going astray in his cultivation. As a peerless genius, his heart of Tao is naturally much stronger than people think. He will not be timid and hesitant because of an uncertain future. If you fail, you fail. Just get up and fight again. He was mainly afraid of violating the family rules. Although there would not be any specific punishment, he would be engraved on the family's pillar of shame and people would talk about him for dozens of lifetimes! Mi Suhui also nodded slightly. This was indeed a very serious problem. "This is very simple. If you can't practice the Merciless Sword, then practice the Merciful Sword. Have you ever heard of the reverse practice method?" Xu Gu was not surprised by this question at all. He answered directly without thinking. As the future Demon Lord, he has long regarded Li Shaobai and the other four as the five most valiant demon generals under his command! Of course I won’t harm the five of them. He had already thought of this answer long ago. If Li Shaobai really failed in practicing the Merciless Sword, he could still practice the Merciful Sword. "Sword of affection? Reverse practice method?" Li Shaobai hesitated, not quite understanding. Mi Suhui on the side also became interested. Is this some kind of profound philosophy? "Haven't you heard of this? If a technique is very extreme, you can often try to reverse it. The longevity technique can be reversed into a short life technique, the ice technique can be reversed into a blazing flame technique. A ruthless sword can naturally be transformed into a compassionate sword."
Xu Gu said: "Many of the magic skills were obtained by the ancestors of the magic path, who practiced the immortal skills in reverse, and their power is still quite good. "For example, the Heaven Eye is originally a top pupil skill, and a magic master practiced it in reverse and became blind, but he realized the Magic Ear. The God's Wrath of Thunder is originally a great magical skill that gathers magic power and then explodes after throwing it. The founder of the magic path practiced it in reverse and became a small magic skill called Earth-shattering Star that can only explode by itself, and so on." “???” Mi Suhui and Li Shaobai frowned slightly. Logically speaking, this seemed to be the case, but why did it sound so unreliable? Especially after Senior Brother Xu Gu gave the examples of the ancestors of the Demonic Path. Li Shaobai was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand the truth. Good things will come after adversity, and things will turn around when they reach their extremes. But, Senior Brother, these examples you gave...?" "No, no, no!" Xu Gu shook his head, raised his index finger and shook it slightly, saying: "Among the magic cultivators, are there any with good talent?" "No." Li Shaobai and Mi Suhui said in unison. "That's it. Those demon cultivators were so poor in talent, but after practicing against the trend, they not only survived, but their cultivation increased greatly. Doesn't this prove something? "You have natural spiritual roots, so shouldn't it be easy for you to practice reverse cultivation? Besides, I didn't ask you to practice reverse cultivation directly. You practiced the normal way first, and the reverse cultivation is a way to leave a way out for you." Xu Gu said. Li Shaobai blinked his eyes, thinking it made sense, but still a little hesitant, "It's just..." "Forget it." Xu Gu waved his hand and stopped trying to persuade her, not wanting to waste time. "You should wait until you are an adult before you talk." "Ah? Don't!" Li Shaobai panicked upon seeing this, and said quickly: "By the time I come of age, the Flame Mountain will be cold. Help me think of an excuse, uh, no, brother, please persuade me again, I am a person who listens to advice." Xu Gu: “…” The corner of his mouth twitched, and he finally understood that Li Shaobai had no concerns at all. He really wanted to find more girlfriends, but he had no excuse to fool his family. Let him come up with ideas and excuses. I don't want him to persuade me. Not only him, Mi Suhui was also speechless. If you want to find an excuse, just tell us directly. We will help you. You just want to find more girlfriends. It's not a shameful thing. Aren't all men like this? Why beat around the bush? Fortunately, he is a monk, otherwise he would have to practice the ruthless sword. "Brother, please help me and give me some advice." Li Shaobai touched his head and said shyly. When he heard Xu Gu suggest that he find more girlfriends, he even thought of a name for himself after he became an immortal: Peach Blossom Sword Immortal, with peach blossom luck all over the world! How could he just give up like that? "That's easy." Xu Gu casually pointed at Mi Suhui and said, "Just say he forced you to do it." "So simple?" Li Shaobai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth rose: "But it seems to work." "Ah?" Mi Suhui's eyes widened. How could he be shot while lying down? He hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it. How can this be possible! Isn't this just cheating him? When Uncle Li Taibai heard that his son had fallen in love early and had dated many girlfriends, and then found out that he was the one who forced him to do it, wouldn't Li Shaobai's father destroy him? However, the flying boat had already arrived at the station, Xu Gu and Li Shaobai had already walked out of the compartment and began to prepare for landing. “Don’t!” Mi Suhui hurriedly chased after him and said anxiously, “Let’s talk about it, Shaobai, Senior Brother Xu, don’t do this, it could cost someone’s life.” Li Shaobai and Xu Gu didn't care. Suddenly, Mi Suhui thought of a solution and said, "That's right, just say that it was the demon cultivators who forced you to do it. You had no choice but to do this in order to complete your undercover mission. After all, the demon cultivators' lives are not your lives." (End of this chapter)
