The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 31 Comforting Guo Jing
In the morning, after class, Su Ming walked up to Guo Jing and asked, "Jing'er, why are you so restless in class today?"

Guo Jing lowered his head with a guilty look on his face and said in a low voice, "Teacher, I am sorry to disappoint you."

Su Ming put his hand on Guo Jing's shoulder, "Disappointed? Your master is not disappointed. You are not an ordinary person. You were born with the expectations of many people on your shoulders, your father's revenge, and your masters' bets. Children from other families can enjoy the love of their parents when they are young. The family of three is happy and contented. Maybe their life is not good, but they are a complete family."

"And you, your father was murdered by a villain before you were born, and your mother worked hard to raise you in a foreign country. It is not easy for a mother and a son to depend on each other. It has been less than two years since the bet, so your masters are anxious, and it is understandable that they have affected you."

The gentle voice was like an invisible hand soothing Guo Jing's mind. Over the past few months, he had been taught strictly by the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. If he made the slightest mistake, he would be severely criticized or even scolded.

Perhaps the teachings of ordinary masters are all so harsh, but Guo Jing has more than one master, he has seven, and these seven people are of the same blood. Many times he was surrounded and criticized by these seven people.

Guo Jing knew that the masters were doing this for his own good, and he had been working hard to meet the requirements of the seven masters.

But just as Su Ming said, every stick has its own strengths and weaknesses, and human power is limited. Some martial arts require talent, but he lacks that talent and cannot learn it well no matter how hard he tries.

Even though Guo Jing had been guided by Su Ming and his thinking had been broadened, he was only a teenager after all. Over time, his self-confidence was frustrated and he began to doubt himself.

This is what repressive education is like. It will invisibly destroy people's self-confidence and confidence. But if people don't have confidence in themselves, how can they achieve great things? Young people are very proud, and Guo Jing couldn't tell others about it, so he could only bury it in his heart.

Han Xiaoying's defense was broken, but she was not the only one whose defense was broken.

At this moment, Guo Jing raised his head and looked at Su Ming, tears seemed to be flashing in his eyes. The depression in his heart had accumulated for too long, "Teacher..."

After so long, finally someone comes to comfort me. It’s still the teacher.

Gradually, he let down his guard and trusted Su Ming more.

Seeing Guo Jing's tearful eyes, Su Ming sighed softly, "I know your difficulties. You can't be blamed for this. You have tried your best. Just have a clear conscience. However, I hope that you will stay calm at all times and not be easily disturbed by others. You must know that you have to walk your own path, and you have to avenge your enemies. You also need to complete this bet by yourself. No one else can do it for you. Do you understand?"

Guo Jing wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded vigorously, "Disciple understands!"

"Teacher, I met a Taoist priest yesterday."

Taoist priest?

Could it be Ma Yu?
"What does the Taoist priest look like?"

Guo Jing recalled Ma Yu's face, "The Taoist priest's beard is completely white, and his hair is tied in a bun like Yin Zhiping's. He is very good at Qinggong, and can take a long distance with one step. He is the most powerful person in Qinggong that I have ever seen."

After listening, Su Ming was sure that this Taoist priest was Ma Yu. "Oh? How did you meet?"

Guo Jing honestly told his master Han Xiaoying that he couldn't learn, which made Han Xiaoying angry and ran away. Then Ma Yu appeared and showed him martial arts, and asked him to meet him on the top of the cliff in three days. Su Ming smiled, "Jing'er, you will know the origin of this man later. He is a decent person and will not harm you. Since you really want to learn, then learn from him honestly, and don't feel sorry for your masters. As long as you can win the appointment at Yanyu Tower, even if your masters know, they will forgive you. You just need to remember that the winner is not blamed, and the winner takes everything."

The winner is not blamed?
A trace of thought flashed in Guo Jing's eyes, and he nodded as if he understood. Teacher is right, I also wanted to win the bet. The masters will definitely not blame me if they know this.

Thinking of this, his psychological burden disappeared.

……

Three days later, when the moon was high in the sky, Guo Jing quietly left the camp and came to the appointment.

A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at his destination. He looked up at the cliff that was several dozen feet high and felt a little dizzy. It was so high? If he fell down, wouldn't he be smashed to pieces?
However, when his mind flashed through the earnest teachings of several masters and his mother's aged face, Guo Jing suddenly felt a fierceness in his heart, "If he can go up, why can't I?"

He ran to the foot of the cliff in two or three steps, climbed up step by step by clinging to vines. He only climbed about sixty or seventy feet high. The smooth cliff above was as steep as a wall, with no grass growing. How could he go up any further?
Guo Jing gritted his teeth and tried twice, but each time he slipped just as he climbed up one step, and he almost fell to pieces.

He sighed and was about to come down, but when he looked down, he was so scared that his soul flew away and cold sweat broke out on his body.

It turned out that he had been climbing up step by step with great strength, and when he wanted to go down the same way, the original foothold was blocked by protruding rocks and he could no longer find it. If he jumped down, he would definitely hit the rocks and be smashed to pieces.

When selecting rocks, if you look up you can find a climbing point, but if you look down you can't find a way to retreat.

Now, he was really in a dilemma. Suddenly, he remembered what his teacher had taught him: as long as he tried his best, he would have a clear conscience. He had already come to the appointment, and even if he could not climb to the top of the cliff, as long as he tried his best, he would have a clear conscience even if he died here.

It was impossible to climb up with bare hands, so he had to think of another way. Then, he grabbed a protruding rock with one hand and groped around his body with the other hand. He found his dagger, pulled it out, slowly chiseled two holes in the rock wall, slowly moved his feet up and stepped into the holes.

Guo Jing stood on tiptoe and tried to see if he could bear the force. Then he moved his right foot upwards, back and forth, and finally climbed up several feet. Then he continued to dig a hole upwards and moved slowly.

After struggling to climb more than ten feet high, he was so tired that he felt dizzy and his hands and feet were sore.

Guo Jing calmed himself down, leaned against the stone wall, and adjusted his breathing. As long as he climbed slowly, he would eventually be able to climb up. After resting for a while, he was about to raise his dagger to drill another hole when he suddenly heard a long laugh from the top of the cliff, "Ha, you're here."

Guo Jing did not dare to lean back even a bit, because there was a bare stone wall in front of him with no foothold. Hearing the laughter, he was very surprised, but he could not look up. However, he knew that the laughter must have come from the Taoist priest.

After the laughter, a thick rope was seen hanging down from above and falling in front of him.

At this moment, a line of poetry suddenly popped up in Guo Jing's mind: Mountains and rivers are so dense that you think there is no way out, but when you look up, you see another village with willows and flowers. He was saved.

　Brothers, I have to try to push it this week, please give me more follow-up reading, please.
