NOVEL WEB Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Those Vicissitudes in His Eyes—What Has He Experienced?:
[Ding!]
[The system is detecting… Detection complete…]
[Name: Chu Ming!]
[Identity: Disciple of the Absolute Path Sect (host’s lackey)!]
[Encounter: His father was gravely injured by enemies seeking revenge. Without intervention, his father will die in half a month. His mother, heartbroken, leaves with his father, pushing Chu Ming to become vengeful.]
[Note: This individual has great potential. The host should consider investing.]
Hearing the system’s voice in his head, Su Changqing froze for a moment, blinking in surprise.
“Invest?” He muttered.
He remembered the system’s investment feature, which promised a critical return if successful.
This could turn Chu Ming into a loyal subordinate. After all, in the original storyline, the little villain standing before him was the most capable of all his followers. However, the author had written him as a mindless character, meant to be a stepping stone for the protagonist.
This was an opportunity.
Seeing that Su Changqing hadn’t spoken yet, Chu Ming grew anxious but tried to hide it. He forced a smile and said, “If it’s not convenient, Holy Son… I… I will take my leave now.”
“Here,” Su Changqing said, waving his hand as an elegant jade bottle floated out, “Take these ten Spirit Nourishing Pills.”
Chu Ming, who was just about to turn away, froze in shock. His eyes widened at the sight of the jade bottle and then darted back to Su Changqing, who looked completely calm.
“H-Holy Son…” Chu Ming stammered, his heart racing and his mind going blank.
What was happening?
The Holy Son had just given him pills—no, not just any pills, but ten precious Spirit Nourishing Pills! These pills were incredibly rare. An outer disciple could spend years saving spirit stones to afford even one. Even for an inner disciple, acquiring one was a great feat. The pill not only greatly boosted cultivation but could also save a life, making it invaluable.
Su Changqing, sensing Chu Ming’s astonishment, simply said, “You may go now with peace of mind.” Then, without another word, he turned away.
Chu Ming stood there, his breath quickening, his whole body trembling with excitement. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“Thank you, Holy Son! Thank you!” He cried, kneeling and bowing deeply.
His father’s life was saved! He couldn’t express his gratitude fully, but he knew one thing—he would follow Su Changqing for the rest of his life.
After standing, Chu Ming wasted no time. He bowed again and hurried off.
Just then…
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for a successful investment! Chu Ming’s loyalty has reached 100%.]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a critical strike return—Purple Gold Alchemy Pill!]
[Note: The Purple Gold Alchemy Pill provides immense strengthening effects. Across various realms, its benefits are remarkable, and the effects are significant!]
The system’s voice echoed in Su Changqing’s mind once more.
“Purple Gold Alchemy Pill?” he thought, smiling slightly. A gleaming, mysterious pill appeared before him, its surface shimmering like candy. Without hesitation, he consumed it.
Immediately, he felt a warm flow down his throat, spreading through his body.
Moments later, his aura surged.
After a brief pause…
His aura had grown even stronger than before. “In such a short time, my Saint Realm foundation has solidified completely?” he marveled, clearly pleased.
The ability to invest in people like this was invaluable—not only would it strengthen him, but it would also earn him loyal followers. “This kind of investment… why wouldn’t I continue?”
Not far away, Ling Qianxue had witnessed the entire scene. Doubts filled her eyes.
“Su Changqing… what are you doing?” she wondered.
A mere disciple received personal attention from Su Changqing—and ten Spirit Nourishing Pills?
Had she misjudged him before?
Was it because his temperament had changed so drastically after regaining his memories?
Ling Qianxue couldn’t help but feel concerned. But as the disciple left, she noticed that Su Changqing’s aura had grown even more powerful.
“Hiss…” She drew in a sharp breath, her heart pounding.
Even now, his cultivation was advancing? He was terrifyingly strong!
Her resolve grew—she couldn’t allow Su Changqing to give up. As she was about to approach him…
[Let him go. It’s good for him to see his father…]
[In the future, everything will fall apart. In my past life, I didn’t care, but now… it doesn’t matter.]
[If I didn’t let him go this time, perhaps we’d never meet again in this life. I would regret it.]
[If he can grow strong, maybe he’ll stand a chance when the dark turmoil arrives. But I’m probably thinking too much—the future darkness is terrifying beyond belief. Even I won’t be able to resist…]
[As for me… I have someone I want to see as well…]
A diary materialized, revealing the newest entry.
Ling Qianxue’s heart ached as she read.
“So that’s why…” she sighed softly, realizing why Su Changqing had changed so drastically. The future dark turmoil had broken him.
Her emotions swirled, and her nose tingled as tears threatened to fall.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Qianxue steeled her resolve and walked toward him.
“Calm down…” She whispered to herself, her heart racing.
Su Changqing, hearing footsteps behind him, turned slowly. There, standing like a fairy in a long blue dress, was Ling Qianxue.
“Junior Sister Qianxue?” He said softly, recognizing her immediately. Her aura and cold temperament were unmistakable.
Ling Qianxue’s body trembled slightly under his gaze, her breathing quickening.
“The things Su Changqing said… They must be true. He really has been reborn!” She thought, noticing the weariness and depth in his eyes—proof of his lived experiences.
But what should she say now?
Her earlier courage seemed to evaporate in his presence, and for a moment, they simply stared at each other in silence.
Finally, Ling Qianxue took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty.
“Senior brother…” This was the first time she had addressed him this way, but it felt fitting. After all, Su Changqing was indeed her senior.
In the past, she hadn’t been close to him, always seeing him as a rival. But now, after learning the truth about the future, she couldn’t help but blush, her face growing hot as she stood awkwardly before him.
