"Hmm... if I please you, I should be able to get a lot of benefits, right?"

“Then you’ll be disappointed,” Ling Tiandu said. “I’m a good-for-nothing, you won’t get anything out of me by getting close to me.”

Why talk about yourself like that?

“I’m telling the truth.”

"What I mean is, why do you feel like you're a piece of trash?"

"That's because..."

Ling Tiandu suddenly fell silent.

She then realized that although the boy was talking to her, his eyes were blank and he was looking in another direction.

The boy is blind.

Chapter 546 Conscience

"Your eyes...?"

Ling Tiandu was slightly taken aback, but then immediately realized what was happening.

She jumped to her feet, backed away warily, and looked at the boy: "You're blind, aren't you?"

"Hmm, I can't see it." The boy noticed the girl's movement, stood up, and said to her with a smile.

“It’s raining heavily right now, the sound of the rain is very loud, how did you know I was sitting here?” Ling Tiandu took a step back. “Also, if you can’t see me, how do you know I’m dressed well?”

This is a very strange scene.

Rain falls, the streets are empty, and a blind boy holds half a sesame seed cake. His eyes are unfocused, but they are definitely facing the direction you are speaking to.

Cultivators have many methods, and Ling Tiandu couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that the little boy might also be a genius in their circle.

"Haha, don't be nervous. Actually, I was born with a Celestial Body, but my Celestial Body has a major flaw," the boy said with a smile. "Actually, I can see, but I don't see with my eyes, but with my talent [Spiritual Senses]."

The boy was born into an ordinary family.

When I was born, I was blind from birth. My parents took me to seek medical treatment, but to no avail. One day, I was discovered by a celestial being. After being examined by the celestial being, I was told that I was born with a celestial body.

"Indeed, he was born with the body of an immortal," the immortal said.

This immortal was originally on his way to the Ling Mansion to congratulate the birth of the chosen one. He happened to pass by the little boy's house and thought he could find a good prospect, but he didn't expect him to be a good-for-nothing.

"A naturally born immortal body brings talent, but some also bring serious defects. Your child's naturally immortal body allows him to gather spiritual energy near his eyes, but it makes it impossible for him to cultivate. His spiritual meridians are chaotic and his spiritual sea is small, making him unsuitable for cultivation."

The immortal suggested that it would be best for the boy to live as an ordinary person.

The boy's family breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't truly blind, that was enough. Besides, even if someone born with a divine body had some defects, they could still be associated with immortals, and that was enough.

The boy lived like this for thirteen years.

"So, you can see?" Now that she understood what was going on, Ling Tiandu was no longer wary and instead became curious.

She squatted down again, eating and asking questions at the same time.

"Yes, but the world I see is different from what ordinary people see," the boy said with a smile. "And because of my talent, I can see some other things?"

"for example?"

"For example, I can see that you are very disappointed."

Boys can see people's emotions, states, and personalities.

Different emotions and personalities present different colors, which is why the little boy, although blind, was able to stop accurately in front of Ling Tiandu.

He saw frustration, despair, and hunger.

"What? Isn't this an amazing ability?"

Ling Tiandu chuckled self-deprecatingly and took a bite of the sesame seed cake.

After all that, even someone else's child is better than her.

"You seem even more disappointed. Did I say something wrong?" The boy looked at her, puzzled.

“It’s none of your business, it’s my problem,” Ling Tiandu said, shaking his head.

The problem lies with her heart.

She stuffed the last half of the sesame seed cake into her mouth and stood up.

The boy looked up at her: "Are you going back?"

"Ah."

"Then you have to keep it up!"

"You don't even know my situation, why are you trying to cheer me on?"

"Yes, I don't know, but I can see it."

What did you see?

"I saw a heart."

"Everyone has a heart, right?"

“But your heart is different,” the boy said. “Your heart has a conscience, a burning resentment, and a hard protective shell. It’s a very peculiar heart.”

"........"

Ling Tiandu pursed her lips and walked home in the rain.

She had only taken a few steps when she turned back, looked at the boy, and asked, "My name is Ling Tiandu. What's your name?"

"I?"

The boy smiled at her and said, "My name is Yi Changcun."

-------------

Another moonlit night.

The boy, carrying two sesame cakes, hurried home.

As he passed the alley entrance, he stopped and looked at the indescribable, undeniable color.

The girl sat there again.

Yi Changcun laughed, ran to her side, and squatted down in the same spot as before: "Why did you run out again?"

"......"

Ling Tiandu looked at that smiling face and replied coldly, "It's none of your business."

Yi Changcun nodded and took out a sesame seed cake from his pocket: "Want some?"

"Give me half a piece."

This time, Ling Tian was not hungry.

But she still asked the boy for half a piece, and bit into it just like the night before.

The boy didn't leave; he just squatted there with her.

"You seem more down than before. What happened?"

"........"

Nothing important happened.

Today, the manor is simply organizing a cultivation exchange meeting to bring together cultivation geniuses from the same circle to exchange and learn from each other; that's all.

That's all...

"You seem angry," the boy said. "You look upset."

"You're really long-winded."

For the first time, Ling Tiandu understood how annoying the boy's talent was, but she also knew that it wasn't the boy's fault and she shouldn't be angry with him.

She pursed her lips, unable to eat the sesame seed cake anymore.

"I......"

If it's just a friendly exchange, then it's fine.

The problem is, she is no match for those geniuses, and her younger sister has no intention of helping her at all.

Originally, others were going easy on her because of her reputation as a genius sister, but when they saw that Ling Tianxin had no intention of intervening, and given Ling Tiandu's stubbornness, they stopped holding back and gave her a brutal beating.

"Actually, I can't blame anyone."

After Ling Tiandu finished speaking, he let out a long sigh: "My sister has no reason to help me, and my opponent has no reason to show me any mercy. It's my own mentality that's the problem. In the end, I hate myself for being useless."

The girl lowered her head: "I have no right to blame others."

The boy smiled and said, "But you don't need to blame yourself."

He watched as the girl's colors shifted and changed, and said, "Your opponent is right, your sister is right, and you are right, because no one wants to be a waste. Although many people envy your life, you are not content with it and you want to reach a higher level, which is not wrong in itself."

The girl was stunned.

She thought the boy would also advise her to be content, but she didn't expect him to say that. So she subconsciously said, "Don't you think I should cherish my current life and have fewer unrealistic expectations?"

"But wouldn't that be contrary to your heart?"

The boy smiled and said, "A person's heart is very important. Others may envy your life, but that's their heart, not yours. As for you, whatever path you want to take, as long as you don't regret it and haven't betrayed your own heart, then go for it boldly, even if it's just a path derived from wishful thinking."

The path derived from delusion will either lead to dazzling glory or utter destruction.

"my heart......"

Ling Tiandu looked at Yi Changcun: "Can you tell me what my heart is like?"

"What does it look like...?"

Yi Changcun thought for a moment and said, "It's complicated. Your heart is more complicated than an adult's, but no matter what, you have a conscience."

"......conscience?"

"Yes, your current ambitions, resentment, and other complex emotions are all due to the situation you are facing. But at the very core of your complicated heart, I see conscience. You are not someone who would lose your original intentions, unlike those adults who, no matter how dark and dirty their appearance may be, always have a light in their hearts."

Yi Changcun smiled and said, "You're not the kind of person who would abandon your conscience. Even if you want a lot of things, you won't lose it, so I'm happy to talk to you more."
