No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Chapter 212: Changyu, You Might Be An Illegitimate Child

In the hall of Qingyun Dao Sect.

Daoist Tai Hua appeared somewhat hesitant.

He had finally gathered the courage to broach the subject with Su Changyu. Yet, Su Changyu refused to believe him.

Daoist Tai Hua was suddenly upset. He could sense that Su Changyu didn’t trust him in the slightest.

“Changyu, quit playing,” Daoist Tai Hua chided after sighing.

However, his words immediately made Su Changyu’s expression change slightly.

To be honest, Su Changyu really thought that Daoist Tai Hua was pulling his leg. He even thought that Daoist Tai Hua was in debt and wanted him to sever ties with him so that he would not be implicated.

However, after hearing what Su Changyu said, he knew that Daoist Tai Hua was being serious.

“Master, why did you bring it up for no reason?”

Su Changyu was a little curious but his expression and his unique aura made him seem extremely calm.

“Ah.”

Daoist Tai Hua sighed again. He had already sighed several times in a row, gradually making the atmosphere become tense and solemn.

“Changyu, answer my question seriously, do you want to meet your biological parents?”

Daoist Tai Hua asked seriously.

He once again asked Su Changyu if he wanted to meet his biological parents.

However, Su Changyu couldn’t help but speak.

“Master, my parents died during the disaster of Qingzhou decades ago.”

“Why are you asking me that question out of nowhere again? Have you found my biological parents?”

Su Changyu’s voice was calm. Ever since he was a child, Daoist Tai Hua had informed him of his family background and told him that his parents died in the disaster that struck Qingzhou.

However, now that more than two decades had passed, Daoist Tai Hua suddenly asked him if he wanted to meet his biological parents. Su Changyu was really puzzled.

Hence, he was curious and looked at Daoist Tai Hua.

“Ah.”

That was Daoist Tai Hua’s third time sighing. He seemed really conflicted and his eyes were full of hesitation.

He felt a need to tell Su Changyu but he dared not do so either.

His hesitation made Su Changyu frown.

However, towards the end, Daoist Tai Hua shook his head.

“Forget it, forget it. Changyu, I’ll tell you the truth.”

Daoist Tai Hua finally spoke up.

“Changyu, I’ve been telling you since you were a kid that you drifted to me in a wooden basin during the Qingzhou disaster, right?”

Daoist Tai Hua said.

“Yes.”

Su Changyu nodded. It was indeed what Daoist Tai Hua often told him and it was also the truth of his background.

In the next moment, Daoist Tai Hua continued to speak.

“Actually, you did drift along the stream and I’ll forever remember that day.”

“Two great cultivators of the Essence Soul realm fought for a treasure and they used their Mystical Abilities and Dharmic Dao to blast several mountains, breaking numerous mountain ranges.”

“In the end, the Yellow Ancient River Protection Array was broken, resulting in many casualties in Qingzhou. Back then, I had just taken over the Qingyun Dao Sect.”

Daoist Tai Hua talked about the past while Su Changyu listened quietly.

“Many people died in that flood and there were also many water demons that wreaked havoc. Many people and cultivators died, and there were corpses all around Qingzhou.”

“In that situation, you managed to lay unharmed in a wooden basin that drifted along with the flood towards me.”

“At that moment, I knew that you were a person of great fortune who was by no means ordinary.”

“Later, your growth also confirmed my conjecture. You’re really handsome and you have a unique aura too. Although your cultivation level is ordinary, your aptitude in Sword Dao is terrible.”

“However, I believe that you will one day be able to shock the world.”

Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.

Su Changyu was speechless.

In the hall, Su Changyu was a little upset. ‘What do you mean my cultivation level is ordinary and my aptitude in Sword Dao is terrible?’

‘Master, don’t slander me.’

Su Changyu was perturbed.

“Master, you’ve said so much. What about my biological parents? Where are they?”

Su Changyu couldn’t understand what Daoist Tai Hua was trying to say.

Hence, he couldn’t help but get straight to the point.

“Don’t be in such a hurry, let me finish.”

Daoist Tai Hua glanced at Su Changyu in displeasure.

He continued, “Actually, I encountered another matter after I picked you up back then.”

“However, there’s something I haven’t told you before.”

“After I picked you up back then, I had a dream on the very same night and someone spoke to me in the dream.”

“The person told me that your background involves too much, and once it’s revealed, it will lead to a bloodbath in the entire world of immortal cultivation. However, you might also get supreme creation because of it and become the emperor of the world.”

Daoist Tai Hua looked extremely serious.

Su Changyu was completely silent after hearing that.

‘Damn it.’

‘I’ve stayed in the main hall for an hour and that’s all you have to tell me?’

‘Emperor of the humans?’

‘Master, did you make a mistake?’

‘Or do you treat me as Ye Ping?’

‘Do you think I would believe such nonsense?’

‘No way, seriously, no one really believes such nonsense, right?’

Su Changyu wanted to throw up. Although he liked boasting, he didn’t like boasting awkwardly.

Su Changyu really couldn’t stand hearing Daoist Tai Hua make up such a disgusting story in order to encourage him.

‘Emperor of the humans?’

He wanted to vomit.

Although he was usually very narcissistic and felt that he might be the reincarnation of an immortal, it was normal to have such fantasies because everyone has dreams.

However, the problem was that Su Changyu somehow felt irked to hear it from someone else.

He even thought that Daoist Tai Hua treated him as Ye Ping and was trying to use this method to make him stronger.

However, it wouldn’t work.

Besides, the story didn’t sound convincing or plausible at all.

The story that he made up and told Ye Ping was at least somewhat logical.

The problem was that the story Daoist Tai Hua fabricated was completely illogical.

It was too forced and random.

“Master, if you don’t get straight to the point, I’m going to leave.”

Su Changyu didn’t have much to say. He simply spoke up and looked at Daoist Tai Hua.

If Daoist Tai Hua was still going to talk about some nonsensical things that didn’t make any sense, he would leave right away.

“You don’t believe what I said?”

However, what surprised Daoist Tai Hua was that Su Changyu actually did not believe what he said.

Su Changyu did not answer, but the indifference in his eyes was enough to prove what he was thinking.

“No, Changyu, I may have lied to you several times, but this time I really didn’t lie to you.”

Daoist Tai Hua was indeed a little surprised. He thought that Su Changyu would be immediately shocked after hearing what he said again, and then have an epiphany. He thought that Su Changyu would embark on his extraordinary life after hearing his words.

However, he did not expect Su Changyu to think that he was lying.

“Master, do you swear that every single thing you said was true? Swear on the future of the Qingyun Dao Sect that you did not lie to me at all.”

Su Changyu said and looked at Daoist Tai Hua.

Daoist Tai Hua was slightly stunned to hear his words.

He was indeed telling the truth but it was impossible for every single word of his to be true.

He did want to use the method, which everyone was using to teach Ye Ping, on Su Changyu.

He wanted to lie to Su Changyu and motivate him to unleash his potential.

If he succeeded, he would be killing two birds with one stone.

However, he didn’t expect that he had failed to deceive Su Changyu.

“Master, you don’t have to beat around the bush, what are you trying to say? Just say it. It’s been an hour.”

“Even if you’re not tired, I am.”

Su Changyu looked at Daoist Tai Hua. He was upset and puzzled about what Daoist Tai Hua was trying to say.

He had already beat around the bush for an hour and Su Changyu felt that he should stop hiding.

“Okay, okay!”

“I’ll stop lying to you.”

“Let me ask you, do you still remember the two people you brought over the other day?”

At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua finally spoke up without beating around the bush.

“You mean Old Xia and Old Xuan?”

Su Changyu was curious.

“Yes.”

Daoist Tai Hua nodded.

“What about them?”

Su Changyu got even more curious.

“I’m guessing that the two people you brought last time may know about your biological parents.”

Daoist Tai Hua looked extremely serious.

“They know about my family background and my parents?”

This time, Su Changyu was finally shocked.

“Master, what do you mean by that?”

Su Changyu asked curiously. He actually didn’t care much about his biological parents.

He didn’t have any feelings for them.

He would sometimes think about them.

Su Changyu’s thoughts were simple. If his biological parents were really still alive, he would go to see them but if they were no longer around, he would just forget about it and occasionally burn some candles and offerings to them.

That was what Su Changyu thought.

At this moment, Su Changyu looked at Daoist Tai Hua curiously, wondering why the latter thought that Old Xia and Old Xuan would know about his family background.

“How much is your clothing worth?”

Daoist Tai Hua pointed at Su Changyu’s clothes.

‘Uh...’

At the mention of his clothes, Su Changyu fell silent because he didn’t know whether to tell the truth or not.

“5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.”

Su Changyu decided it was better not to tell the truth.

“5,000 taels of gold? You’re really generous with yourself huh... Wait, what? 5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones?”

After hearing Su Changyu’s answer, Daoist Tai Hua subconsciously thought it was 5,000 taels of gold and was just about to reprimand Su Changyu slightly when he suddenly realized that Su Changyu was not referring to taels of gold.

He meant 5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.

That made Daoist Tai Hua stunned.

‘5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.’

‘What concept is that?’

The clothes he owned in a lifetime wouldn’t add up to so many Spirit Stones either.

Daoist Tai Hua was stunned.

Seeing how dumbfounded Daoist Tai Hua was, Su Changyu was thankful for the fact that he didn’t tell the truth.

After 15 minutes, Daoist Tai Hua finally snapped back to his senses and looked at Su Changyu.

“Changyu, then I am 90% sure that those two people know the truth about your parents.”

Previously, Daoist Tai Hua was only 50% sure that they were aware, but after hearing the sky-high price of the clothes, he was immediately 100% certain.

He felt that Old Xia and Old Xuan must know Su Changyu’s identity.

In fact...

A new idea popped up in Daoist Tai Hua’s mind.

“Master, why?”

Su Changyu asked with puzzlement.

“Changyu, you are really confused.”

Daoist Tai Hua spoke and continued immediately afterwards.

“Changyu, think about it, why would someone you met by chance give you such an expensive thing?”

“You don’t really think that it’s because you are handsome, do you?”

Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.

“Isn’t that the case?”

Su Changyu was a bit curious because that was really what he thought.

Daoist Tai Hua was speechless.

“Master, he said he had a daughter and wanted his daughter to marry me, that’s why he gave me those clothes.”

Su Changyu continued to explain to Daoist Tai Hua.

However, Daoist Tai Hua smiled coldly at that moment and did not say a word, causing Su Changyu to stay silent for a while.

“Master, continue.”

Su Changyu asked Daoist Tai Hua to continue.

“He clearly has a motive for giving you a gift without a reason.”

“As I said before, your identity is definitely not ordinary.”

“So I concluded that they must know your identity, so they deliberately came to please you.”

Daoist Tai Hua said clearly.

Su Changyu came to a sudden realization.

“You’re right. Master, please continue.”

Su Changyu nodded and felt that what Daoist Tai Hua said made sense.

“At first, I thought that they knew your identity, but after learning that your robe costs 5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones, I felt that there must be more to this.”

Daoist Tai Hua seemed profound and enigmatic.

Su Changyu got even more curious.

“Master, how much more complicated can it get?”

Su Changyu was curious.

“I think that one of them is very likely your father.”

Daoist Tai Hua said.

His words made Su Changyu freeze and stand rooted to the ground in astonishment.

The reason being, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it might really be the case.

“Master, now that you’ve mentioned it, those two people often asked me if my parents are still around.”

Su Changyu said calmly.

“I should be right then. The two of them either know clearly about your background or one of them is your biological father.”

“In this world, only a father would be so generous to his own son.”

“Moreover, I feel that Old Xuan should be your father.”

Daoist Tai Hua said with certainty.

After hearing his words, Su Changyu couldn’t help but carefully start thinking about it.

“Yes, Master, I also feel that Old Xuan would come to see me every now and then. I wonder what he’s thinking.”

“Is he my real father?”

“But if he is, why didn’t he acknowledge me?”

Su Changyu asked with some puzzlement in his eyes.

‘Since he’s my father, why isn’t he acknowledging me?’

“Changyu, no parents are wrong in this world.”

“He probably has reasons for not acknowledging you.”

Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.

“Reasons? What reasons could there be? He refused to acknowledge his biological son.”

Su Changyu was perplexed.

“Uh...”

“Ah, forget it, I’ll tell you straight.”

“Changyu, you might be... an illegitimate son!”

Daoist Tai Hua said.

Su Changyu was instantly stunned.
