Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3520 (Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty) Atmosphere
Not all places have the custom of saying that children whose one parent is a Lanjia person are incompetent, but this is exactly the custom in the places where Cheng Yuhuan and Lu Yinting used to live.

Cheng Yuhuan said, "In the place where I lived before, people whose parents were both Tiecang people looked down on people whose one parent was Lanjia people. I was once called incompetent and even a waste, just because my father was a Lanjia people. Those people said that children of Lanjia people were incompetent. Didn't you mean to say that many people look down on children of Lanjia people, but we ourselves cannot think that we are incompetent?"

Lu Yinting nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's what I mean!"

Cheng Yuhuan asked: "You must have been badly hurt by this kind of injustice before."

"Yes, Master." Lu Yinting said, "I was called 'incompetent' before, and people said 'the children of Blue Armor people must be incompetent'. I still remember it clearly. Of course, this is already a good thing to say. As for the unpleasant things, they directly said that I was a 'waste born of Blue Armor waste'. No matter how hard I tried, even if I obviously did some things better than them, they still said I was a waste. I always wanted to prove that I was not a waste, but later I found that no matter what I did, it was useless. The people around me at that time were all people whose parents were from Tiecang. I don't know if I really didn't see anyone whose parents were from Tiecang, or if such people tried their best not to expose their identity in order to protect themselves. In short, I was the only one who was different. They all said this to me, even though I did very well sometimes, but they said this to me again and again, which made me doubt it. Later, I didn't know why, but for a long time, I felt like a waste."

"When you obviously do a good job, do you also feel that you are?" Cheng Yuhuan said.

"Yes." Lu Yinting said, "I used to wonder why people still thought I was a waste even though I did very well. Now I think it's probably because everyone who knows me says so, and no matter what I do, I can't make them change their mind! I think the deep reason why I felt I was a waste during that time was that I couldn't change the attitude of the people around me towards me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop others from saying I was a waste."

"Did you completely stop thinking this way later?" Cheng Yuhuan asked.

"Yes." Lu Yinting said, "Master, do you know when I completely stopped thinking this way?"

"When?" Cheng Yuhuan asked.

"Just after I saved my master and senior brother." Lu Yinting said.

Cheng Yuhuan said "Oh?"

"I found that I saved two lives by myself, and I felt that I had really done something big. Things related to life and death are extremely unusual in my opinion. They are not comparable to what I usually do. However, if after I did this, there are still some people around me who say that I am a waste, I will still feel that I am powerless to change the attitude of the people around me towards me, and I may even feel that I am incompetent. After all, even if I saved a life, others will still say that I am a waste. In that case, I may still think of myself as a waste. However, Master and senior brothers are different. You have never said that to me, not even once!" Lu Yinting said.
