Henry Turner, good brother! I will never let you die again!
Edward Morgan, you bastard, just you wait!
At the peak of the Heavenly Dao, I, William Carter... will—climb! Up! There!
“Hey, I admit I’m handsome, but this sky, this earth, this purple bamboo... what’s so nice to look at... really crazy.” Henry Turner rolled his eyes, one eyebrow arching toward the sky, the other stabbing toward the ground, muttering as he spoke.
“William Carter, Henry Turner! Are you here?” With a hearty laugh, a young man in green flashed out from the purple bamboo forest.
A thin figure, a gaunt face, slightly dark skin, eyes not large but full of spirit.
Charles Stone!
William Carter immediately turned his head, calmly looking at that gentle smiling face. He could clearly see, deep in Charles Stone’s eyes, a flash of disappointment and annoyance.
That was annoyance at seeing William Carter actually safe and sound! Damn it, why isn’t he dead?
But right after, Charles Stone put on an angry face and shouted, “What are you guys doing? William Carter, what happened to your head? Didn’t I already tell you, when brothers spar and train, you must know when to stop, know when to stop! Using so much force, Henry Turner, were you trying to beat William Carter to death?”
Henry Turner looked at Charles Stone with some fear, face full of shame, opened his mouth, and stammered, “Big brother, it’s... it’s my fault... my handsome looks stunned William Carter, he... he got distracted...”
William Carter was speechless.
“You two, you two... really never let me rest easy.” Charles Stone sighed in exasperation, “When will you and Master finally be able to stop worrying? You’re both grown men and still act like children...”
As he spoke, he strode over quickly, face full of concern. While walking, with a “rip,” he tore off a piece of his own undershirt, came up to William Carter, and looked at him with pity: “Does it hurt? Don’t move, let me bandage you up. Don’t move around, and don’t run everywhere these next few days, or the wound will catch a chill...”
He carefully wiped the blood from William Carter’s wound with his own sleeve, then bandaged it up, his touch both firm and gentle. Only after checking it over did he finally relax, letting out a breath: “Sigh, if Master saw this, he’d definitely blame me for not taking care of my two junior brothers. You two...” He sighed and shook his head.
“Big brother... we were wrong...” Henry Turner said miserably, “Sorry. Next time I fight him, I’ll just cover my face...”
“What do you have to apologize to me for? Sigh, if this big a wound was on you, wouldn’t it hurt?” Charles Stone scolded, “The one you should apologize to is junior brother William Carter!”
At Henry Turner’s narcissism, Charles Stone’s eyes showed a faint trace of contempt. How could someone so ugly be this narcissistic? Truly unbelievable.
Whenever Charles Stone spoke, every word sounded as if it came straight from the heart. His gaze never wavered, always looking straight into the other’s eyes, open and honest—one look and you’d know he was upright and sincere, that everything he did was from the heart!
“Yes, yes.” Henry Turner nodded repeatedly, face full of guilt and shame. Under big brother’s concerned scolding, he felt he wanted to crawl into a hole. Helplessly touching his face, he sighed resentfully, feeling that being so handsome and dashing, so earth-shatteringly good-looking, was truly a crime against the nation...
William Carter sighed inwardly. This Charles Stone; whether in expression, movement, or tone, he was so sincere, without a single flaw. If he hadn’t been reborn, he would definitely have been fooled by him...
No wonder in his previous life, this man was able to stand out from the outer disciples, rise all the way up, and eventually compete for the position of senior brother!
If Tianwai Tower hadn’t been destroyed, William Carter was sure that the position of inner sect senior brother would have been in Charles Stone’s pocket!
Such skill at saying one thing to your face and another behind your back was truly rare! Absolutely seamless! No one would ever know what he was really thinking.
No wonder in his previous life, after entering the inner sect, he was able to win the heart of the sect leader Wuyun Liang’s daughter, Alice Black, in such a short time...
Alice Black was known as the number one beauty of Tianwai Tower, with countless suitors. Yet Charles Stone, not particularly handsome, quietly won the heart of this proud daughter of heaven! When the news broke, the whole sect was shocked!
But now William Carter knew, none of this was by chance! Charles Stone, he could do it!
But in this life, if Charles Stone wants to do it so easily again... it won’t be so simple. Because, standing before him is me, William Carter! All his schemes are useless before me!
“Come on, let’s go back and get you healed up.” Charles Stone diligently helped William Carter up.
William Carter smiled, just about to take a step, when he suddenly froze. From his own dantian, a wave of extreme hunger surged up. Or rather, it was a very urgent, very pressing feeling.
William Carter was stunned!
What’s going on? If I’m hungry... shouldn’t it be my stomach? Or maybe my gut? Why is my dantian hungry?
That feeling surged like a tide, and in his dantian, it was as if a pot had started boiling.
