On a hill covered with withered and yellow trees, there was a young man, wielding an ax, skillfully chopping down the withered trees. Although these trees were as thick as thighs, the young man almost broke the trees with just one blow of the axe.

.

"Crack???" The young man danced the ax quickly, and the trees behind him fell down one by one without any direction.

The boy's movements were smooth and flowing, skillful and natural, without any feeling of unfamiliarity. It seemed that he had been doing this for a while.

After the trees fell to a large extent, the boy stopped what he was doing and began to clean up the withered branches and leaves of the trees. Then he cut the trees into sections one by one and piled them together. Then he took out two thick ropes and separated them.

Some wood, put these wood into two piles and tied them together, then picked up a similar-looking stick from the ground, picked up the two bundles of wood, carried them on the shoulders, and started to go down the mountain.

The young man's name is Ling Fan. He is dressed in coarse linen clothes. His appearance is not too outstanding, but his slightly thin face lacks a perseverance that is rare for young people. Ling Fan is now an ordinary outside servant of Tianling Sect.

Disciples, every morning they go outside to chop wood on the hill, and then carry the wood back to the woodshed at Tianlingmen. In the morning, they chop and carry firewood, and they practice in the afternoon and evening. This is Ling Fan's daily life.

Ling Fan carried two bundles of wood, not feeling any fatigue at all, and almost jogging along the way to Tianlingmen. This was because he wanted to complete his daily tasks as soon as possible, so as to free up more time to practice.

Tianling Sect is a very big sect. Usually, many disciples of Tianling Sect are practicing in the martial arts field at this time, so Ling Fan did not go through the main entrance because he didn't want some people to see it, so he walked through the more crowded one.

Rare backdoor.

"Hey, isn't this our peerless genius Ling Fan? Hey, why is our genius carrying the wood?" Although Ling Fan chose to go through the back door to avoid some people, there was still a discordant and slightly sharp voice at this time.

Came from the side.

Ling Fan stopped and looked at the voice: "Lu Gao!" Ling Fan looked at the speaker, his voice was low, slightly cold and hoarse.

Lu Gao has a white face and starry eyebrows, and his appearance is somewhat human-like. When he walks out, he is definitely the kind of man who makes the makeup-covered "young girls" scream at high decibels. Lu Gao is followed by a group of onlookers with joking smiles.

He looked like he was watching a good show.

"Oh, I didn't expect that our peerless genius would recognize little people like us. I'm so honored!" Lu Gao continued in his slightly sharp voice.

"It's good to know!" Unexpectedly, Ling Fan said coldly, then ignored Lu Gao and the others, picked up firewood, and continued walking to the woodshed.

How could Lu Gao give up after suffering such a humiliation? He glanced at the person next to him, and the person immediately understood, and said in a loud voice: "It's strange, how can our peerless genius still pick firewood? Could it be that he is

With this method of cultivation, it is no wonder that he will become a peerless genius in our Tianling Sect. It turns out that the method of cultivation is so unusual. A genius is a genius, and the method of cultivation is indeed very different from that of ordinary people like us!"

Although there were relatively few people at the back door, there were still a few here and there. After this person shouted in such a loud voice, he immediately stopped what he was doing and started to gather around and discuss in low voices.

"Why does that person look familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere. Why can't I remember him?"

"Stupid, brother, when did you come here, you don't even know this person. This person was the brightest new star of our Tianling Sect, Ling Fan, the peerless genius of Tianling Sect. He was the darling of Tianling Sect back then.

He was favored by the sect leader and the elders, overshadowing all the geniuses at the same time. But I don’t know what happened two years ago, and his strength has been stagnant. So now he has become the outer sect of Tianling Sect.

A handyman disciple."

"Haha, look, the former genius of Tianlingmen is now fetching firewood. He deserves to be here today. Waste is trash, and he can only do the job of fetching firewood!"

"Isn't that person Lu Gao? He is an elder's disciple and a genius. He has a distinguished status in the Tianling Sect. He used to be Ling Fan's mortal enemy, but now Ling Fan is unlucky."

"Ha, this good-for-nothing has really disgraced our entire sect, yet he still has the nerve to live in this world. What kind of courage does he have? It's really extraordinary."

"If he hadn't had an elder who was as close as his father, he would have been expelled from the sect long ago. Now that he can work as a handyman disciple in the sect, it is an advantage for him???"

"This kind of person should have died long ago???"

All kinds of ridicule and disdain coming from the surroundings fell on the ears of Ling Fan who was carrying the wood, like sharp thorns piercing into Ling Fan's heart, making Ling Fan's breathing quicken slightly.

Listening to the comments around him, Lu Gao naturally burst into laughter. Looking at Ling Fan's subtle changes in facial expressions and breathing, he even laughed proudly. The more Ling Fan behaves like this, the happier he is!

"These people are indeed so powerful. When I was a genius in the past, all of them were groveling. Now they all want to take it back, right?" Ling Fan sighed. He had heard these taunts in the past two years.

Too much. Even though his mood may fluctuate now because of these words, he is no longer the impulsive young man Ling Fan was before. He adjusted his mood, picked up the burden, and continued walking towards the woodshed.

"Genius, can you tell me a little bit about how you practiced with Chai? I also want to learn from it!" Seeing that Ling Fan was about to leave, Lu Gao would naturally not let go of the opportunity to attack him easily and continued to use him.

The slightly sharp voice, the words with a hint of sting.

"He is not cultivating. He is just chopping firewood and doing hard labor for our Tianling Sect! Only a waste like him can do this as a handyman disciple, haha???" The person next to Lu Gao said to Lu Gao

Sing and harmonize.

"Oh, that's it. It seems that useless people can only find their self-respect in useless people!" Lu Gao deliberately increased the decibel level, and the sharp sound reached everyone's ears.

The phrase "A good-for-nothing can only find his self-esteem through good-for-nothing!" reached Ling Fan's ears and pierced Ling Fan's heart like a sharp blade.

"Lu Gao!" Ling Fan gritted his teeth, his voice almost coming out from between his teeth. He squeezed his palms together tightly, and the nails on his hands were dug in deeply because the fists were squeezed too tightly.

Into the flesh, blood slowly seeped out along the cracks.

But Ling Fan didn't take action. He knew that now was not the time to take action. These two years of experience had taught him two words: tolerance!

Forbearance is not cowardice, nor does it mean that you will not take revenge! Forbearance is a sign that a person is slowly maturing. They begin to understand that impulsiveness cannot solve the problem. If a person wants to succeed, the most basic psychological quality is to learn to be forbearing. Tolerance is to take care of the right person.

A person's hatred and anger are buried in his heart, waiting until the moment the time comes to fully explode!

Although Ling Fan hates Lu Gao now and wants to kill Lu Gao now, he knows that the time has not come yet and he has to endure it! If he takes action now, first of all, he is not Lu Gao's opponent, he is a five-star spirit

Of course, this is not the most important thing. If he insists on fighting, Lu Gao will have to pay a heavy price.

The second point is the most important. Ling Fan knew that the reason why Lu Gao tried his best to ridicule and humiliate him was because he wanted to take revenge, but this was not the main reason. The main reason was that Lu Gao wanted to use this to anger Ling Fan and force him to

Ling Fan took action against him.

Ever since Ling Fan's strength stagnated two years ago and he was demoted to the lowest rank of outer sect servant disciple, countless people have insulted and ridiculed him. Those people were the ones who couldn't stand Ling Fan when he was in high spirits.

People or people he has offended, but these people can only humiliate them verbally, no one dares to take action. The reason is not because of how strong Ling Fan is, but because there is someone in Tianlingmen who shares the same father-son relationship with him.

Elder father. His master is the elixir elder of Tianling Sect. He is in charge of the elixirs of Tianling Sect and has a prominent position. It is precisely because of his master who has always taken care of him that he is protected from the abuse of others.

Even Lu Gao can only verbally humiliate and ridicule him every time, just like now. But if Ling Fan takes action first, the situation will be different. Lu Gao can take action with Ling Fan openly, and then Ling Fan

If his master found him, he could have said it was self-defense.

It was precisely because Ling Fan saw through this that he did not fight Lu Gao. Not because he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat him, but because Ling Fan would definitely have a narrow escape if he tried.

Because people from Lu and Gao can definitely come together in groups. This is the different effects caused by the difference in status. If you have a high status, even if others are dissatisfied with you, they will nod and bow to you, but once your status

Your status has undergone earth-shaking changes, and those who originally disliked you will show their true colors. Ling Fan is the best example. When he was the brightest new star of Tianling Sect, countless fellow disciples would be jealous when they met him.

He showed a humble smile, and there were also countless disciples who followed him around every day. But when he became useless, these disciples who used to follow behind him every day immediately changed their faces, and they only had sarcasm towards him.

abuse.

Ling Fan slowly loosened his fists that were leaking blood because they were clenched too tightly. He took a deep breath and walked toward the woodshed without stopping.

He must endure it now. If he can't help but make a move at this time, Lu Gao and a group of people will have a reason to attack him. He is not afraid of Lu Gao alone, but if it is a group of people, he will definitely escape death.
