Chapter 536 – Let Me Be a Sword Saint

　　”However, the side effects of this Forbidden Ruin are also very obvious.” Yuan Gang continued.
　　”Side effects?”
　　Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed slightly, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing as forbidden ruins having side effects.
　　”[Glazed Red Heart], it gives him the purest of hearts, he will never try to gauge the thoughts of others with malice, so he can easily be gullible to others.
　　And such a red heart is not a good thing in modern society.
　　It is also known as people being bullied for being good.
　　Because of too much kindness and innocence, he was deceived, used, and bullied over and over again when he was a child …… Pranks, scams, borrowing money, slanders, rumors, all the school bullies you can think of he basically experienced, and then he was forced to drop out of middle school before he could even finish it successfully.
　　His parents gambling, in the outside world owes a butt of debt, and then simply left the little Zhou Ping secretly ran away to the north, those debt collectors to find the door, but fortunately his third uncle found him in time to save him from the hands of the debt collectors, brought back to their own local food restaurant.
　　Later, the homeless little Zhou Ping stayed with his third uncle, his third uncle was very good to him, carefully cared for to bring him up, and then he began to give help to the store, as a way of repaying the kindness to his third uncle, and in the meantime, to earn a little bit of his own pocket money ……”
　　As Yuan Gang’s words fell, Lin Qiye and the others fell into silence.
　　”How can these people be so bad?!” Garland huffed and hammered his fist on the table, almost toppling it over.
　　”If it was an ordinary person, after experiencing so many things, their temperament would have changed drastically long ago, perhaps they would have started to take revenge on society, perhaps they would have sunk into the darkness, perhaps they would have become extremely selfish and thus embarked on an evil path ……
　　But Zhou Ping would not.
　　He is very aggrieved, it is very difficult, he can not understand why all this happened, but the way he fights against the world, but he just closed up the scaly heart, no longer communicate with people, will be fully committed to the beautiful and simple story.
　　He didn’t despair at this society, he didn’t feel that the world was unjust, he just learned to protect himself.”
　　”So that’s how Sword Saint senior’s social fear came to be ……”
　　Cao Yuan let out a long sigh.
　　”When the realm of spiritual power reaches a certain height, and then wants to make progress, it requires a breakthrough in the state of mind, and these traumas of the mind that he endured in his early years became the greatest resistance to the Sword Saint’s advancement.” Yuan Gang slowly spoke.
　　”But Commander Ye has always believed that he is the most likely person in the world to break that ceiling.
　　As long as he can leap over that hurdle in his own heart and let the [Glazed Red Heart] be unleashed without reservation.
　　His bright and pure heart and sword will become the hope of the entire Grand Xia.”
　　Baili Fatty nodded thoughtfully.
　　”There’s one more thing I’m curious about.” He asked, “Since the Sword Saint senior had closed himself off back then, how did Commander Ye get him to come out and become the Great Xia Sword Saint?”
　　Yuan Gang smiled slightly when he heard this question.
　　”As I said, his world is simple and pure ……”
　　Misty.
　　City debris.
　　In the dim and warm underground garage, Zhou Ping, whose black shirt was stained with blood, slowly walked to the side of the fireplace with a frozen passerby on his back.
　　”Cough cough cough ……”
　　He coughed violently a few times, his brows wrinkling slightly as he bent down and gently placed the passerby on his back next to the fireplace.
　　He reached out his slightly trembling right hand and tested it under the passerby’s nose for a few moments, and
　　He let out a sigh of relief.
　　”Sword Saint Senior, this is the last batch.” Lu Yu carried the equally unconscious passerby on his back and placed him next to the fireplace, turning his head to Zhou Ping.
　　”Have all the streets been searched?”
　　”Finished searching.”
　　”Hm.” Zhou Ping nodded.
　　He took a step to the corner of the garage, his footsteps were a little weak, and with his back against a pillar, he slowly sat down ……
　　His right hand was still trembling slightly.
　　His eyes reflected the light of the fire dancing in the furnace in the dim parking lot, and he did not know what he was thinking about, and after a long time, his eyes gently closed.
　　After an unknown amount of time, the sound of soft talking came from the distance.
　　Zhou Ping frowned, struggled to open his eyes, a blood filament climbed in his eyes, looking haggard.
　　Only to see that in another corner of the parking lot, the pale-faced Chen Han, with three young children of seven or eight years old, walked up to Zhou Ping’s body.
　　Zhou Ping looked at the three children, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
　　”My spiritual power is limited, and I am unable to heal everyone …… for the time being, so I saved the children first.” Chen Han spoke weakly, “These three children seem to have very good talent, and have actually gotten rid of the effects of the astral wind and awakened.
　　Lu Yu, you and Senior Sword Saint take care of these three children.”
　　”Yes!”
　　Lu Yu quickly walked over to the three children, and after Chen Han rested for a moment, she walked towards the other side of the garage.
　　These three children, there were two boys and one girl, wearing cold-proof and warm thick clothes, perhaps it was because they had been freezing outside for a long time, their cheeks were all red and their lips were a little purple, but their eyes were still bright as stars.
　　”What are your names?” Lu Yu asked.
　　”My name is Li Ruodie.” The girl spoke softly.
　　”My name is Wang Jiaqi.”
　　”Chen Nan.”
　　These three children looked at the unconscious few passersby next to them, and there seemed to be some fear in their eyes.
　　”Big brother, are you also a night watchman?” Although Li Ruodie was a girl, she did not seem to be small in guts, her jewel-like eyes curiously surveyed Lu Yu and opened her mouth to ask.
　　”You guys know about the Night’s Watch?” Lu Yu asked in surprise.
　　”That brother just told us.” Wang Jiaqi replied, “He said that the Night Watchman is Superman who protects us.”
　　Lu Yu smiled, “Then I am indeed a Night Watchman.”
　　”What about you, brother?”
　　Li Ruodie looked towards Zhou Ping who was cowering in the corner.
　　Zhou Ping paused and spoke hoarsely, “I’m not a Nightwatchman.”
　　”Although he’s not a Nightwatchman, he’s a Superman who’s even more powerful than a Nightwatchman.” Lu Yu patiently explained to the few children, “He is our Great Summer’s Sword Saint.”
　　”Sword Saint?”
　　The few children opened their mouths wide.
　　Chen Nan gazed at Zhou Ping for a long time and tentatively asked, “So brother, do you know how to be invisible and use Sword Blade Storm?”
　　”Idiot Li Nan, not the Sword Saint in the game la!” Li Ruodie corrected.
　　”Oh ……”
　　”The Sword Saint of Daxia ah, sounds awesome!!!” Wang Jiaqi looked at Zhou Ping with eyes full of admiration, “Brother Sword Saint, how did you become a Sword Saint? Can I also become a Sword Saint in the future?”
　　Zhou Ping was stunned in place.
　　His eyes gazed at the three children, his thoughts, however, had returned to many years ago.
　　It was an ordinary afternoon.
　　Zhou Ping had rolled up his sleeves and was sitting on the steps of his third uncle’s local cuisine restaurant, washing vegetables carefully.
　　A man wearing a dark red cloak sat beside him.
　　Zhou Ping was so focused on washing the vegetables that he didn’t even notice his presence.
　　The man gazed at him for a long time, smiled, and
　　”Your name is Zhou Ping?”
　　Zhou Ping raised his head, wiped the sweat off his forehead with his wrist, and nodded.
　　”My name is Ye Fan.” The man said.
　　”Oh.”
　　Zhou Ping glanced at him and lowered his head to continue washing vegetables.
　　”…… “Ye Fan paused, “Do you want to be a Human Ceiling?”
　　”What’s a human ceiling?”
　　”It’s, the person who can carry this sky when it collapses.” Ye Fan pointed to the sky above his head.
　　”I don’t understand.”
　　”It’s the strongest human being who guards this country and protects these people …….” Ye Fan explained in layman’s terms.
　　Zhou Ping thought about it, “Similar to a warrior?”
　　”Yes, similar to a warrior.”
　　Zhou Ping thought about it, “Being a warrior, sounds good, but I don’t like the name ‘Human Ceiling’, it’s not domineering enough.”
　　”Then what do you want to call it?”
　　Zhou Ping lowered his head, shook the water off his hands, and looked at the wooden sword on the steps.
　　”Sword Saint.” He said, “I’ll promise you if you make me the Sword Saint of Da Xia.”
