Chapter 106: Road of Redemption
Cheng Rui left the first floor of the Creation Master Association silently and immediately headed for the breeding room where his grandfather was in seclusion. Just as he was hesitating to open the door and call for his grandfather, his face revealed a complex expression. It was a mix of resentment and fear.
Finally, as he gritted his teeth and prepared to open the door, it was the door that opened up first. An elder with black glossy hair stepped out of the door.
Cheng Rui didn’t expect that his grandfather would end his seclusion at this moment. He quickly greeted, “Grandfather, after this seclusion, your hair is now completely black. It is another progress!”
The elder laughed, but his laughter contained a little feminine tone. “During this seclusion, the Gold Ring Spine Gu has upgraded from Fantasy IV to Fantasy V. I didn’t waste ten years of effort for nothing!”
After hearing the news, Cheng Rui’s face was delighted at first, but he suddenly changed to a pitiful tone and said, “Grandfather, look at the Creation Master crest on my chest. I didn’t succeed in becoming the Moon Empress’ disciple.”
The elder looked at where Cheng Rui pointed and frowned. “The Royal Capital’s Creation Master Association has already created a commotion by giving you a title as a Class 2 Creation Master. You are also the No.1 Creation Master among the young generation, and you still failed?”
The elder then continued looking at the crest on Cheng Rui’s chest as he carried on talking. “Change your crest too, and wear a regular Class 2 Creation Master crest. I am your grandfather. Why are you making me your Master by wearing this crest? Finding a Master is to allow you to have one more reliance. Elder Du is rather nice to you. I will look for him later and see if he is willing to accept you as his disciple.”
Cheng Rui took down the crest on his chest embarrassedly. But after hearing his grandfather mention Elder Du, Cheng Rui’s face changed. If his grandfather looked for Elder Du, Elder Du would surely tell his grandfather of his actions in the Radiant Moon Palace. By then, he would definitely have to suffer a beating.
But now, Cheng Rui hated Lin Yuan to the extreme. He had a hot flash in his heart, while his eyes flickered before he said, “Grandfather, I didn’t get the preference of the Moon Empress in the Radiant Moon Palace mainly because Redbud City’s Lordess Ling Xiao brought a youth with her.”
Cheng Wu’s pupils contracted as he knew his grandson too well. If it was a matter of vengeance, Cheng Rui would have already taken revenge. Now that Cheng Rui was looking for him, it meant that he wasn’t able to resolve it and was looking for his help.
“What background does the youth have for Ling Xiao to bring him to the Radiant Moon Palace?”
Cheng Rui then spoke of the information that he had found out about Lin Yuan. It was rather easy to find information on Lin Yuan. Since Lin Yuan had registered as a Class 2 Creation Master, the Redbud City’s Creation Master Association had already obtained simple information about him.
Cheng Wu listened and looked at Cheng Rui. “You can’t even settle a young Class 2 Creation Master yourself? You have to look for me?”
Cheng Rui suddenly squeezed out two drops of tears and said with a grievance, “Elder Du has a preference toward him. Earlier on, when he kicked me, Elder Du still defended him.”
Cheng Rui then lifted up his shirt after speaking, and even he was immediately shocked. He started to curse at Lin Yuan repeatedly as his stomach now had a purple footprint.
Cheng Rui knew that his grandfather was most afraid of him crying, so he would always do this to beg for his grandfather’s help. There was nothing that couldn’t be done. In addition, this wasn’t the first time he had sought out revenge.
When Cheng Wu saw the footprint on Cheng Rui’s stomach, his face turned dark as he yelled out, “That nobody Du is the one that invited me to the Royal Capital’s Creation Master Association. Now he actually watches as someone else bullies my grandson! Does he even have me, Cheng Wu, in his eyes?!”
Cheng Wu only had one grandson, and when Cheng Rui was young, his first fey had been a small Spine Gu that had split off from Cheng Wu’s source-type lifeform, the Gold Ring Spine Gu. Because of that, Cheng Rui had suffered badly. Also, Cheng Rui’s parents had passed away when Cheng Rui was young, while Cheng Wu couldn’t spend much time with Cheng Rui due to his status as a Class 4 Creation Master. Therefore, Cheng Wu always felt that he owed something to Cheng Rui.
Upon seeing the purple footprint on his grandson’s stomach, the eyes of Cheng Wu, who had a fiery personality, turned gloomy.
When Cheng Rui noticed that, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. His grandfather’s expression indicated that he was going to help with his revenge.
“Grandfather, you can’t blame Elder Du either. That kid, Lin Yuan, is rather talented.”
Cheng Wu said in a sinister tone, “What use is talent? Being able to grow up is real capability! Have you forgotten that I taught you to either endure or be ruthless!?”
Cheng Rui quickly replied, “I remember grandfather, so I wish to stomp on him personally! I want to watch as my Spine Gu empties out his spinal cord!”
After a short conversation between the grandfather and the grandson, they left the Royal Capital’s Creation Master Association silently.
Presently, Lin Yuan was checking on a pitiful fey. It was a Bronze Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum.
A healthy Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum was considered a rather good, power offense-type fey. The chrysanthemum leaves could be flung out like a flying blade, dealing slicing damage and slight paralysis poison.
The petals of the chrysanthemum could gather energy quickly and shoot out poisonous energy.
But this Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum in front of Lin Yuan already had withered stems. The petals and leaves looked like they were dehydrated, and they were struggling just to stay up.
The petals looked as though they were about to fall off, and there were only a few stamens left.
The violent-tempered woman stood nearby and asked Lin Yuan apprehensively, “Master, is there a possibility to heal this Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum?”
When asking this question, the violent-tempered woman’s heart tensed up. Previously, she had looked for other Creation Masters. She had spent half a year seeking connections and plenty of money to get help from a Class 2 Creation Master.
As a result, the answer had been negative. It was unknown whether that Class 2 Creation Master had found it troublesome to heal the fey, or he purely had not wanted to do it.
Of course, no matter what the reason was, the violent-tempered woman wasn’t qualified to question him because the law of survival existed between spirit qi professionals and Creation Masters.
Lin Yuan looked at the state of the Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum and didn’t hesitate when he nodded and replied, “Yes.”
This Tough Leaf Chrysanthemum might look miserable and might die at any moment, but with Lin Yuan’s current healing capability, healing a Bronze fey with damaged roots wasn’t a problem at all.
When Lin Yuan was a D-rank spirit qi professional, he was already able to heal the damaged roots of Bronze feys.
It just so happened that he could use this opportunity to see what the healing speed for Bronze feys was, now that he was a C-rank spirit qi professional.
The instant Lin Yuan nodded, the violent-tempered woman suddenly started to wail. It felt as though everything she had suppressed for a long time was finally given relief.
She was smiling while she was crying. It was tears of joy and happiness mixed within a tart feeling.
The violent-tempered woman’s daughter’s eyes were dull and not very lively. The moment Lin Yuan nodded, her eyes turned bright as she fixed her gaze on Lin Yuan. She then revealed a pleasantly surprised smile.
When Lin Yuan saw the smiles, he felt touched for a moment. These smiles looked as though the light at the end of the tunnel. It made Lin Yuan even more determined to walk on the path as a Creation Master.
A Creation Master’s path shouldn’t be to stand at the top and look down at all people with cold eyes. It should be built up by smiles and rescues, forming a road of redemption.
