Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 948: Lu Qibin's Past - Extra : Inheritance
"What is it?"

"It's not wisdom, it's not cultivation, it's——"

Smith was silent when he said this...
Li Yang couldn't get an answer and had to go home. He was about to say hello to his parents, brothers and sisters and pack his luggage when he saw his teacher and the elders of the sect walking out of her room.

They had a bunch of observation records in their hands, which were the backup of her research results.

Before talking with Smith, Li Yang had considered that the research data might be discovered, and it might even be serious enough to be unacceptable to the Xingguan Sect, so he prepared several backup copies.

Now, the copy hidden at home has been discovered.

"Teacher, elder..."

Li Yang showed a natural smile on his face, "Why are you here?"

"I was out on business and passed by here, so I stopped by to take a look." The elder remained calm.

Li Yang: “…”

Just because you drop by, you can just enter a girl's room? And you even took out her research results?

"Li Yang, what are these?"

The sect elder took out a blueprint with the sun as the center from the spare materials and asked sternly.

"A stargazing record."

Li Yang was not at all timid.

"The sect doesn't want young men with great potential to lose their ambitions due to playing around." The elder stared at Li Yang for a long time, not wanting to make things too awkward. "Come on, follow us back to the sect."

Li Yang couldn't refuse.

the other side.

As soon as Smith entered the door of his house, he saw a gray-haired old man. He walked straight over, looked directly into the other person's eyes, and said, "Teacher."

"Do you still have me as your teacher?"

The old man asked sternly, "Instead of practicing well, you insist on studying the movement of the stars. It's not enough to ruin yourself, but you also want to sacrifice the future rising star of the sect?"

"It is precisely because I hold you in my heart that I want to do this." Smith's face was extremely calm. "You also know the current situation of the sect. Only by changing can we survive. This is my repayment to the sect. Only by facing the objective movement of the stars and acknowledging that the earth we live on is also one of the stars in the sky, can we continue to move forward and move towards glory."

"You're absolutely crazy!"

The old man shouted loudly, and the soul power of the Soul Saint level emanated from his body, pressing Smith to the ground. But even though the latter's body was crackling, his eyes remained calm.

Even though he became a disabled person, he had already become indifferent to death. Even though his body could fall apart at any time, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

"Teacher, whether you believe it or not, I am doing this for the true future of the sect. Whether it is for the continuation of the sect or to achieve a breakthrough in my personal cultivation, changes must be made!"

"Don't you think that's contradictory?"

"The sect allows stargazing because it is beneficial to personal cultivation, but it hates its disciples studying the movement of the stars, fearing that people's thoughts will diverge and affect the sect's plans—"

"Humans are inherently curious! You can never change this! Therefore, you can only guide this curiosity! Instead of stifling it!"

“Excuse me for being blunt, but if the sect continues in this mode, it will only disappear in the long river of history. In the past, many families and sects have perished in the secluded world. If no changes are made, the best result I can imagine is that there will be an outbreak before the Xingguan Sect dies, and the royal family of the Xingluo Empire happens to have problems, so they take the opportunity to replace it.” “Want to become a god? If you are still self-centered, it will never be possible! Just like the sun is the center of the universe! As a human being, you can’t be too self-centered! The Star Crown... after all, is not a crown, and it can never be as great as the sun!”

Snapped!
The old man smashed Smith's head with his palm, his eyes full of tears, and he murmured, "Why? Why are you so stubborn? Why would you rather lose your cultivation for such a meaningless thing? Why don't you cherish the freedom I fought so hard for you? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in the village and live your old age?"

After a long silence, the old man picked up Smith's headless body, walked to the back mountain, dug a hole and buried him.

"Has it been dealt with?"

After the old man poured a pot of wine, another old man walked out of the forest, "What an unfilial disciple! The sect has already let him go, and he promised to live an honest life, but he is still secretly studying the trajectory of the stars and has led Li Yang astray..."

How could the sun be the center of the universe?

The earth is!

The disciples who possess the Star Crown Martial Spirit are the earth! They are the center of everything! In the future, the Star Crown Sect will be great in the world!"

The old man remained silent, staring at the mound for a while before he spoke: "You really don't know how to comfort people, Xu Ming."

Xu Ming snorted and laughed, and said, "From the looks of you, you don't seem to be grieving for your dead disciple, Old Li Gong. Let's go back to the sect. After this incident, the sect will definitely be more strict with those who dare to study the movement of stars. Maybe you, the elder of criminal law, will have to deal with it."

Li Gong did not answer, but just moved away from the mound, leaped up, flew between the trees, and headed towards the mountain range where Xingguan Sect was located...
···
In the Xingguan Sect's Criminal Law Hall, Li Yang was kneeling below the hall. Sitting in the hall were Li Gong, Xu Ming, and three or five other direct descendants of the Xingguan Sect.

"Li Yang, do you know you are wrong?" Mr. Li asked.

"Disciple knows——"

Halfway through her words, Li Yang suddenly fell silent. If it were in the past, she would have admitted her mistake first, but now, she was thinking about something.

Is she going to keep pretending?

In disguise, she forgets her true self. When she grows to a certain age, will she still be able to keep her original intention unchanged?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, as if she agreed, Li Gong's face darkened and asked, "Don't you know?"

"Students don't understand. Stargazing is just my personal hobby." Li Yang pursed his lips and looked directly at Engineer Li, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

Although Smith had already told her the reason, as a smart person, she would not believe a person's one-sided statement, even if the other person was her cousin.

However, judging from the current situation, her cousin did not deceive her, and what she wanted to do now was just to delay a little longer.

As for the purpose of delaying time——

She doesn't know either.

After all, she was just a twelve-year-old girl, not a time traveler with experience in modern society, and she didn't know how to face the next problems.

"Stargazing is indeed just a personal hobby. All sect disciples know how to stargaze. But you have gone in the wrong direction and have gone astray."

"But it's not your fault. It was my useless disciple who seduced you—"

"For the next two days, just stay in the lounge of the Criminal Law Hall and think carefully. I know you are a smart person. There is no need to be hard on yourself..."
