Shen Yanxiao’s rise was a marvelous legend to others, but only her companions in the Phantom and Xiu knew how much she had paid for it.
She had fallen ill many times because of physical exhaustion, had fainted many times during her cultivation.
Before she became the City Lord of The Rising Sun City, Shen Yanxiao had no free time at all. Every day, aside from cultivating, she only cultivated more.
People of the Broken Star Palace might have been cultivating daily as well, but their hearts were far less pure than Shen Yanxiao’s. They were doing everything for themselves, but Shen Yanxiao was doing everything for the people around her.
It was to protect those she cared about.
Only when people had something to protect could they discover their potential to the greatest extent.
Killing for the sake of killing and killing for the sake of protecting others were two different concepts.
The little golden dragon listened quietly. The tears in his eyes had disappeared without a trace. His light golden eyes had been freed from shock and were now filled with admiration, as well as infinite longing for a good future.
“In the human world, there is such a phrase,” Yang Xi raised his head and looked at the sky. “A bird that does not fly, when it does, it soars into the sky; a bird that does not sing, when it does, it sounds amazing. But in my opinion, there is no power that is easily obtained. When we see other people show off their abilities, who knows how many years they have endured hardships in private to accomplish their ambitions. Ten years of sharpening a sword; as long as faith and fighting spirit are not lost, opportunities will not disappear.”
This was the first time that Yang Xi had said so much. It turned out that this normally reticent teenager was not as indifferent as he seemed to be.
Silent people always had a pair of eyes to see through the world.
They watched everything in silence and buried it all in their hearts.
As for why the members of the Phantom would voluntarily give up their achievements and choose to support Shen Yanxiao, they also had their own reasons. If Shen Yanxiao were not able to convince them that she was worthy of their support, with their pride as high as the heavens, they would never have yielded to others.
But now, they were willing.
“I see.” The little golden dragon seemed to understand something. He got up and turned around calmly. Looking at Yang Xi, he stooped solemnly.
“Thank you.”
Yang Xi smiled and shook his head.
“I’m just speaking some general truth.”
Without Shen Yanxiao’s swift and decisive, shocking education, his policy of conciliation would be difficult to carry out.
The little golden dragon hesitated for a moment. He bit his lip and turned to look at the figure that made him feel a trace of fear.
“Go ahead.” Yang Xi encouraged him.
The little golden dragon’s tense hands grabbed the hem of his clothes and his short legs slowly opened, moving towards Shen Yanxiao bit by bit.
When he was only seven steps behind Shen Yanxiao, he stopped.
“Thank you. I… I won’t deprecate myself in the future.” The little golden dragon lowered his head and said in a soft voice.
Facing Yang Xi, he could still brighten up, but looking at Shen Yanxiao, he was very guilty.
If it hadn’t been for Shen Yanxiao’s timely action, he would have already fallen into a meat paste and had no chance to repent.
That figure, who had her back to him, remained motionless, as if she had not heard him at all.
“I’m sorry… I will… I will be obedient from now on. I will strive to become stronger, I will take revenge for my mother and my companions, I will never do anything to hurt myself again.” The little golden dragon steadied himself and continued to speak.
However, Shen Yanxiao’s silence made him very uneasy. His courage, like a punctured ball, was deflating very quickly.
