I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

Chapter 117: Innately Talent In The Extreme Dao
“Tell me, what do you want me to do?”

Chu Xuan sighed.

A person who used to be so high-spirited was now looking so down and out because of the word ‘love’.

His father had been the same.

As expected of his father’s direct disciple. Not only had he learned how to break off his marriage engagement, but he was now also depressed because of love.

Chu Yuan patted the little boy’s head and said, “This is my son, Chu Pingfan. I want you to help me bring him up to live an ordinary life.”

“Pingfan, address him as Thirteenth Uncle!”

Chu Pingfan raised his head and looked at Chu Xuan. “Thirteenth Uncle.”

“Yes, good boy.”

Chu Xuan looked at Chu Pingfan thoughtfully.

He had a tiger-like aura, but looked dull and clumsy. It was obvious that he was not talented.

Perhaps that was why he was called ‘ordinary’. (T/N: Pingfan means ‘ordinary’ in Mandarin.)

Chu Yuan’s wife had been taken away by someone from her family, but not Chu Pingfan. It was probably because of his lack of talent.

......

If he was talented, no large family would abandon him.

After handing Chu Pingfan over to Chu Xuan, Chu Yuan let out a sigh of relief and began to briefly tell his story.

It was just as Chu Xuan predicted. Chu Yuan’s wife was the daughter of a large family clan. They fell in love with each other and gave birth to Chu Pingfan.

In the end, his wife’s family sent an expert to look for her and forcefully took her away.

The reason why that expert did not kill Chu Yuan was because his wife had pleaded for mercy on his behalf bitterly.

“I want to head to the Eastern Region. I will make them understand that I, Chu Yuan, am not weaker than others in my lifetime!”

Chu Yuan said firmly.

“Take care, third brother. I’ll take care of him.”

Chu Xuan sighed and patted Chu Yuan’s shoulder.

He transmitted some of his power into Chu Yuan’s body, giving him a life-saving trump card.

As long as he did not encounter a Heaven realm expert, this power was enough to keep him safe.

Chu Pingfan stopped playing with the saber and looked at Chu Yuan in a daze. “Father, are you leaving Fan’er?”

Chu Yuan rubbed his head. “Father is going to look for mother. Fan’er, be good and listen to Thirteenth Uncle, got it?”

“Okay!”

Chu Pingfan nodded his head.

Chu Yuan left.

He wanted to leave the Southern Region and head to the Eastern Region.

Under normal circumstances, the only way to leave the Southern Region was to seek out the Black Moon Tower and leave through their secret channel.

However, Chu Yuan had another way. His wife had once told him that there was a way to secretly leave the Southern Region.

It was just more dangerous.

Chu Pingfan stared blankly at the entrance of the small courtyard. He did not speak for a long time, simply clutching the wooden saber in his hand.

Chu Yun came over.

“Pingfan, do you miss your aunt?”

Chu Yuan picked up Chu Pingfan and asked dotingly.

“Yes!”

Chu Pingfan nodded his little head.

“Thirteenth Brother, Third Brother Chu Yuan, he…”

Chu Yun felt saddened by what had happened to Chu Yuan.

“Everyone has their own path. Perhaps this is his path.”

Chu Xuan sighed.

Chu Yun put down Chu Pingfan, rubbed his little head, and sent a voice transmission to Chu Xuan, “Thirteenth Brother, Pingfan’s talent is a little…”

Chu Xuan smiled and did not answer.

“I will find the materials to refine pills that can improve your talent.”

Chu Yun looked at Chu Pingfan lovingly.

“Talent is not the be-all-end-all.”

Chu Xuan waved his hand and asked Chu Pingfan to come over.

Looking at the silly-looking little boy, Chu Xuan lowered his head and asked, “Pingfan, do you like knives very much?”

“Yes, I do.”

Chu Pingfan nodded.

“Why do you like them?”

“Because knives are very domineering. I like domineering things.”

“You don’t like swords?”

“I don’t like them.”

Chu Xuan rubbed his head and did not continue asking.

Chu Yun told him about her experiences when she went out to train, especially about the little evil king, the simp who was following her around.

She had a look of disdain on her face.

“Thirteenth Brother, that guy is very evil, so I swindled him out of all his things and refined a lot of pills.”

Chu Yun was very pleased with herself as she took out several bottles of pills.

“Thirteenth Brother, these pills are for you.”

Chu Xuan stuffed the pills back into her mouth and said, “I don’t need any pills.”

He mourned silently for the little evil king in his heart. What was the point of simping? In the end, he had nothing left!

Chu Yun had found out about the little evil king’s identity from the Black Moon Tower, as well as his personality and evil tendencies. That was why she was so angry and tried her best to bankrupt the little evil king.

It could be considered as venting her anger.

After that, Chu Yun returned to the ancestral residence.

Chu Xuan called Su Xian’er and Wang Luo out and introduced Chu Pingfan to the two of them. This was his nephew.

Chu Pingfan was also handed over to the two of them to take care of.

Su Xian’er’s main task in the future would be to take care of Chu Pingfan.

A few days passed, and Bai Sheng Mountain’s ruin became clearer. At this rate, it would definitely open within half a month.

Chu Pingfan had already adapted to life in the small courtyard. Occasionally, he would look at the courtyard entrance in a daze. Most of the time, he would hold the wooden saber and wave it.

Chu Xuan did not allow him to enter the pocket dimension. Chu Pingfan was not an adult. If he entered the pocket dimension, Chu Xuan would have to adjust the timeflow difference in the pocket dimension to match reality.

The timeflow difference of the pocket dimension would not increase one’s age because of its unique traits. If Chu Pingfan entered, even if he stayed inside for decades, he would still remain a child.

At the moment, Wang Luo was busy rapidly improving his cultivation, so Chu Xuan did not want to adjust the time difference in the pocket dimension to match reality.

As such, Chu Pingfan either hung out in the courtyard or in the universe space.

For this reason, Chu Xuan called out the Heavenly Spirit Cat, the Sky-shaking Golden Roc, and the Spirit Devouring Flower to play with Chu Pingfan.

“Pingfan, come here.”

Chu Xuan waved at Chu Pingfan, who was waving his wooden saber with a serious expression and a sullen face.

“Thirteenth Uncle.”

Chu Pingfan ran over.

Chu Xuan rubbed his little head and said, “Pingfan, can Thirteenth Uncle teach you how to use a saber?”

“Yes please! Thank you, Thirteenth Uncle!”

Chu Pingfan’s eyes lit up.

Chu Xuan flipped his hand and a wooden saber that was a little longer than Chu Pingfan’s height appeared in his hand.

The wooden saber looked ordinary, and not very beautiful at all.

It was an ordinary saber made from a branch that Chu Xuan had broken off from an ordinary tree in the pocket dimension.

Only the master of the pocket dimension, Chu Xuan, could break off a branch of a tree that could not be damaged and make it into a wooden saber.

“Here, this saber is for you!”

Chu Pingfan hugged the wooden saber with both hands happily.

Chu Xuan sighed in his heart when he saw him like this. Everyone thought that he was stupid and had no talent.

However, he knew that Chu Pingfan’s talent lay in the Extreme Dao!

Moreover, he was innately talented in this regard.

One could only reach the peak of the Extreme Dao by relying on extreme affection!

This affection was not that of love, but rather an extreme affection toward the Dao.

For example, Chu Pingfan had an extreme affection toward sabers.

His name was Pingfan, so he would give him a saber made of ordinary wood.

Chu Xuan thought very highly of this tiger-like, seemingly stupid nephew, especially since he was innately talented in the Extreme Dao.

As long as it was someone he, Chu Xuan, nurtured, there was no way that person would turn out as trash. Even if someone was trash from the get-go, Chu Xuan could still nurture that person into a genius!

Moreover, Chu Pingfan himself possessed talent in the Extreme Dao.

Although Chu Pingfan was young, he understood very well that his mother had been captured and that his father had gone to look for his mother. Everyone thought that he was stupid.

He was unwilling to accept this.

In fact, he had been holding back his anger. He wanted to prove that he was not stupid and fight for his parents!
