Chapter 56 Rejection
At that moment, Huang Rui felt the world spinning, the light receding, and the world turning dark. Only Huang Tian's faintly smiling face kept magnifying and magnifying in front of him!
Time seemed to stand still.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a few breaths escaped from his throat, making a soft "hoarse" sound, as if someone was tightly choking him.

Time seemed to have passed for a very long time. In a certain instant, Huang Rui subconsciously took a step back. The world shattered like a mirror, turning into silvery-white light spots. The entire world quickly returned to its original state, and various colored lights shone into his eyes again.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that smiling face that he both loathed and feared.

After swallowing twice, Huang Rui asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "You, you've reached the rank of a cultivator?"

"As you can see."

"When?"

"This morning."

The simple answer made his heart sink to the bottom of the sea. He hesitated for a moment, intending to say something more, but Huang Tian had already finished his meal, stood up and smiled slightly: "I hope you enjoyed your meal."

After saying that, he brushed past him and left unhurriedly, leaving Huang Rui standing there dumbfounded.

At one moment, Huang Rui suddenly turned around and looked at Huang Tian, ​​who was walking further and further away. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He felt uneasy, fearful, worried... a mix of emotions.

He received his food and medicine with a stiff face, like a puppet on a string, but his depressed mood made him have little appetite. He forced down a bowl of medicine and could not eat anymore. He returned to the Upper Dormitory A section somewhat dejectedly.

As soon as I entered, I found that the house number "25" by the bamboo forest, which had been uninhabited before, had a small stone plaque hanging in front of the door, which meant that someone was living there.

'That's Huangtian's house...'

He immediately understood, then froze in place, lost in deep thought.

After a long while, as if carrying a heavy stone weighing hundreds of pounds, he walked step by step with difficulty to the door of room number twenty-five. He took several deep breaths, raised his hand and then lowered it again. After hesitating for a long time, he finally raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

The moment the knock sounded, he almost covered his face and ran away, but an inexplicable emotion made him stand rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Fortunately, this ordeal didn't last long.

The door was opened very quickly.

Huang Tian's handsome face appeared from behind the door.

Looking at that strangely familiar face, Huang Rui fell silent, unsure of what to say.

After a few breaths, Huang Tian spoke: "If you have no purpose in coming, please leave. I was just about to practice my stance, so I'm afraid I can't entertain you."

Huang Rui then stammered somewhat awkwardly, "Can...can we reconcile?"

He was filled with shame and indignation when he said those words, because just a few days earlier, he had told the worried Huang Jian not to fantasize about reconciliation, as it was impossible.

But a few days later, he took the initiative to come to his door seeking reconciliation, which made him feel ashamed and annoyed, like he was slapping himself in the face.

Hearing Huang Rui's words, Huang Tian asked in surprise, "What do you think?"

"Why not? Back at home, the worst I ever bullied you was a few times, and I hit and scolded you a few times. The worst time was when I injured you so badly that you had to stay in bed for a few months to recover... um..."

He realized he'd gone too far and, ashamed to continue, quickly changed the subject: "We're brothers after all. Blood is thicker than water. What are a few squabbles from our youth? Don't worry about them too much. The important thing is to look to the future. Brothers united, let's revitalize the family!" Brothers?

They're brothers?
Huang Tiandu was astonished by Huang Rui's shamelessness. He never expected that Huang Rui, who was only in his early twenties, would be so flexible and shameless. He was quite a talent and lived up to the name "Rui".

"If I agree to a settlement, will you believe I won't seek revenge later?"

"Believe!"

Huang Rui answered without hesitation. He felt that ever since Huang Jian was beaten, Huang Tian had completely changed. He had become courageous, resolute, and carefree since he was ordinary.

Such a person is sure to keep his word and keep his promises, so he truly believes in him.

Well, it's definitely not because Huang Tian broke through to the ninth rank that he had no choice but to believe it.

"Unfortunately, I have no intention of reconciliation. Please leave." Huang Tian said calmly, and was about to close the door.

"You won't agree?!"

If Huang Tian had rejected his request for reconciliation with extreme anger, Huang Rui might not have been particularly angry.

But Huang Tian's rejection was so nonchalant, as if he didn't take him seriously at all, which immediately enraged him, who was already embarrassed and annoyed.

"Huang Tian! If you don't reconcile, do you know what will happen?"

Huang Rui didn't give him time to answer, and quickly said, "Father won't protect you! My elder brother will suppress you! I will also despise you! Moreover, tomorrow, I will ask Chief Instructor Liu to spar with you on the training ground, and then I will give you a good beating, make you kneel down and beg for mercy, and lose all face!"

He had thought that his threat would frighten Huang Tian, ​​or at least make him worried, but he clearly saw no fear in Huang Tian's eyes, only his usual calmness.

"Are you done talking? Then I'm going to close the door."

With a bang, the door to room number twenty-five was slammed shut.

Standing before the cold, hard wooden door, with the cool breeze blowing, Huang Rui was stunned. After a long while, he finally came to his senses, glaring at the door and gritting his teeth, "How dare you? How dare you be so arrogant!"

He snorted coldly and stormed off, but in his heart he was determined to teach Huang Tian a lesson tomorrow, to make him remember the fear of being dominated by his fists and feet...

The next day, early in the morning, as dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, a pale white appeared on the horizon.

Huang Tian got up early, practiced the Spirit Tiger and Crane Stance to warm up his body and improve his blood circulation, then washed up briefly before leisurely heading to the restaurant for breakfast. When he arrived, there were already seven or eight martial arts students sitting in the restaurant.

Several martial arts performers looked at him strangely as he walked in.

Because they are now aware of the terrible relationship between Huang Tian and Huang Rui, and the fact that the two are now on the same training ground, they are likely to cause quite a stir.

"Brother Luo, we're in for a good show today." A dark-skinned young man glanced at Huang Tian, ​​winked, and chuckled softly.

Luo Chan said speechlessly, "It's just some filthy family's petty squabbles, what's there to see?"

The dark-skinned young man shook his head: "It's precisely these kinds of sordid things that are interesting to watch! Those young masters and nobles are born into privilege and are flattered from a young age. Unlike us, who have struggled to climb out of the mire."
I love watching them bicker. Seeing them red-faced and utterly embarrassed makes me want to burst out laughing!
