Chapter 17: Two Types of Families

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Chen Feng’s clone returned to the dormitory, Chen Feng was still sitting in the corner, controlling the warm current in his body.

In comparison to a long cultivation method, this method was considered already a shortcut to increase his strength.

Consuming the inner core would not allow him to become stronger immediately. He had to absorb all the essence contained in the inner core first.

After handing the six inner cores to his main body, Chen Feng’s clone immediately rushed to the library.

If Chen Feng wanted to increase his strength, he not only needed to cultivate, he needed to read.

He needed to read up on those essential books and the school curriculum.

If he became stronger and improved in a particular direction, it would merely be flashy and rigid.

Chen Feng suddenly felt emotional when he arrived at the empty library.

The others took advantage of this last break to return home and reunite with their families.

Regardless of whether their family was rich or poor, it was still their safe haven, and they relied on the support of their family in life.

As for Chen Feng, who had transmigrated into this world, there was nothing else he could rely on.

He could only rely on his own strength.

At that thought, Chen Feng took a deep breath and a resolute look appeared in his eyes.

During the two days when the others returned home to be with their families, Chen Feng’s main body would make full use of the time to absorb the energy from the inner cores. Meanwhile, his clone would immerse itself in the sea of books in the library and study with all its might!

He had to become stronger!

–

Draupcester City, the wealthy district.

The Leng family, which occupied one-tenth of the entire city, opened its doors tonight.

“Master, Second Miss is back too!”

It was rare for Leng Ruzhi to return home. She squeezed out a smile and tried her best to hide her disappointment.

Having failed for the first time in 18 years, she was feeling horrible. This was a feeling she had never felt before. It was impossible that it did not affect her mood.

It might even become a psychological trauma.

She walked through a large garden to the main hall. Her father, Leng Buwei, was looking at some documents on the coffee table. He seemed to be busy.

“Dad, the school has given us a two-day break, so I came back to see you and Mom.”

“Is Elder Sister back too?”

Leng Ruzhi deliberately wanted to avoid talking about her examination, but Leng Buwei still brought up that topic.

Without looking up, he asked, “How’s the awakening ceremony?”

“I awakened a combat-type legendary class, Holy Light Envoy,” Leng Ruzhi answered.

Her father still did not look up. He only nodded slightly in response.

Leng Ruzhi did not feel disappointed by his lack of response. On the contrary, she heaved a sigh of relief.

However, just as she said that she wanted to return to her room to rest, Leng Buwei suddenly spoke.

“Today should be the day of your preliminary examination, right?”

“Are you unsatisfied with the results?”

Hearing her father’s question, Leng Ruzhi trembled. She stood rooted to the ground, not daring to turn around to look at him.

Ultimately, the inevitable happened.

“Yeah…”

Leng Ruzhi replied in a voice that was as soft as a mosquito’s.

Leng Buwei looked at his youngest daughter’s back.

He thought for a moment before he said, “Come, sit down.”

Leng Ruzhi had no desire to resist at all. She lowered her head and sat on the sofa beside Leng Buwei.

In her memory, although her father’s name was Leng Buwei1, he seemed to have been busy all his life.

No matter how many times Leng Ruzhi got first place, her father would only nod in response.

There was never any more reaction from him.

Therefore, Leng Ruzhi gradually developed her own notions of how things should be.

In her opinion, getting first place was only a matter of course.

Her father was one of the reasons why she was so determined to get first place.

Leng Ruzhi was prepared to receive a terrible scolding from her father.

However, she was surprised by what Leng Buwei said next.

“Ruzhi, I feel very happy today.”

Leng Ruzhi froze before looking at her father.

Leng Buwei was smiling at her kindly.

Leng Ruzhi was very confused. She did not understand what Leng Buwei meant when he said that he was happy.

At the same time, she realized that it had been a long time since she saw her father’s face up close.

She glanced at her father and noticed that time had left its mark on his face.

“I have failed in my duty as a father. I know I didn’t spend enough time with you while you were growing up.”

“I was very worried every time I heard you say that you got first place.”

“I’m afraid you’ll become like your elder sister.”

When Leng Ruzhi heard this, she pursed her lips. A trace of grievance appeared in her eyes.

Her elder sister, Leng Rushuang, was the other reason why Leng Ruzhi was so obsessed with the first place.

“Rushuang is a very outstanding person. In fact, she’s even more outstanding than your mother and I,” said Leng Buwei.

“She’s the genius in the Leng family, and for a long period, I was proud of her for being so outstanding.”

“However, as I grew older, I began to worry about Rushuang’s future.”

Hearing her father’s words, Leng Ruzhi opened her mouth in surprise.

She could not believe that her father would worry about her elder sister, who was so outstanding.

Leng Buwei took off his glasses and placed them on the coffee table. He rubbed his slightly swollen temples.

“Indeed, your mom and I used to be the top students in school. We made many contributions to the front line.”

“After retiring, we’re still contributing to the human race from behind the scenes.”

“But as time passes, I understand more and more that the effects of time on people are incomparably huge.”

“A person’s ability is ultimately limited. The so-called pinnacle will be gone in the blink of an eye.”

Leng Ruzhi did not fully understand what her father was saying, but she still listened seriously.

Leng Buwei leaned back on the sofa behind him, looking a little tired.

” Rushuang is very outstanding now and has a promising future.”

“But what will she do after her pinnacle period is over?”

“If she encounters a setback, will she be able to pull through?”

“I can take care of you guys now, but I can’t possibly take care of you forever.”

“I’m worried that if your mom and I leave the world in the future, you won’t be able to take good care of yourselves.”

“If something major happens in the family in the future, will the two of you be able to survive?”

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruzhi got a little emotional.

She felt a lump build up in her throat, and she was on the verge of tears. “Don’t say that, Dad. You and Mom will be able to live to a ripe old age.”

However, Leng Buwei shook his head with a smile.

“Child, don’t be silly.”

“There’s only so much humans can do. It’s not possible for us to defy the laws of nature and change our fate.”

With that said, he looked at Leng Ruzhi with a gratified smile.

“Your elder sister’s life has been too smooth sailing for the first half of her life.”

“This is also the reason why your mother and I took so much care of her.”

“When she was your age, I hoped that she would suffer a setback. The more she suffered, the better.”

“But that didn’t happen.”

“Now, she’s about to go to the front line to fight.

“If she suffers a setback there, the price she has to pay will be heavy. It won’t be anything you can compare to at your age.”

Leng Ruzhi nodded blankly, deep in thought.

Leng Buwei’s next sentence changed Leng Ruzhi’s impression of her father again.

“So, I’m really glad that you encountered this setback today,” continued Leng Buwei.

“This will be a valuable asset to your life.”

“You must learn from this lesson, and learn the reason why others’ will succeed.”

“In the future, when your elder sister encounters a setback, she might have to rely on you—her younger sister—to help her.”

Leng Ruzhi’s eyes widened slightly.

“Elder Sister might need my help in the future?” she thought.

Hearing her father’s words, her mood lifted. The disappointment that she felt of not getting the first place was washed away.

“Go get your elder sister and your mom here. Let’s all eat together,” Leng Buwei instructed.

“Tell me if you found anything interesting in school later.”

“Okay! Dad, let me tell you first! Today’s exam is very interesting. There are two classmates…”

“Oh? Taking away multiple boxes of inner cores? These two classmates of yours are quite interesting!” remarked Leng Buwei.
