Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 116 Fortune and Misfortune

As expected, having a formula makes solving problems much easier. Ning Feiliu easily explained his current relationship with Ning Fengzhi to Dugu Yan.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi neither liked nor disliked him.

So does that mean he hates Ning Fengzhi?

That's naturally impossible.

Even if he didn't like this adoptive father, he wouldn't hate him to the point of despising him.

Dugu Yan didn't know how to put it. Although she was very unfortunate, she was born into the Dugu family and her parents died early because of the deadly poison inherited from Dugu Bo.

But she was also very lucky, because her parents always loved her.

As an only child, all her parents' love could only be poured into her.

Ning Feiliu's body has several brothers and a beloved younger sister, Ning Rongrong, so this body is not valued.

Ultimately, it comes down to strength.

Everything has its reasons and conditions, which led to Ning Feiliu's unloved outcome.

To be fair, these are all reasonable.

But no matter what, Ning Feiliu is the one who is not loved, so why should Ning Feiliu understand Ning Fengzhi's choice?

Some answers are wrong, and that's that. How were you wrong? Why did you make that mistake? Who is the culprit that caused you to answer the question incorrectly?

None of that matters. What matters is that you are wrong.

If your answer is wrong, you will lose points for this question; that's the rule.

Ning Fengzhi made the same choice; whether it was for the sake of so-called value or because he had too many children, he chose to ignore Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu certainly wouldn't give him a perfect score for these reasons.

The father's role, along with a certain degree of fairness and the effort he put into raising Ning Fengzhi, would only earn him a reasonable score of one or two points, certainly not a high score.

Dugu Yan, however, only felt sad for Ning Feiliu.

They are both Ning Fengzhi's children, so why is Ning Feiliu not valued by Ning Fengzhi?

"Alright, I'm not sad at all, Sister Yan." Ning Feiliu said with a smile when she saw Dugu Yan's appearance. "Speaking of which, my father is a very nice person. It's just that he didn't score very high with me."

"I'm just a little sad for you, Fei Liu..." Dugu Yan lowered her eyes, gently touching her heart, and said, "Suddenly I feel so lucky. Although my parents passed away a long time ago, I know they loved me."

At that moment, she suddenly remembered something, "Fei Liu, where's your mother... Your mother must have loved you when she was alive, right?"

This should offer some comfort to Ning Feiliu.

"I'm sorry, it seems I didn't love her that much." Ning Feiliu chuckled and shook her head, saying, "Although my past memories are somewhat blurry, the most vivid thing in my memory is that I was never the one who was favored."

That's just what he said; in fact, in the original owner's memories, he was indeed favored for a period of time.

To be precise, Ning Fengzhi's three earliest children were all children who were highly anticipated and thus pampered for a period of time from the very beginning.

From the very beginning, they were all expected to inherit the powerful talents of Ning Fengzhi and his wife, and to carry on the great cause of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

In particular, in Douluo Continent, the awakening of martial souls can only be carried out after the age of six, and talents can only be manifested after the age of six.

Therefore, the original owner was not treated as a useless person from the very beginning.

It was only later, when the original owner awakened his martial soul and discovered his innate soul power, that he became less anticipated by Ning Fengzhi and the others.

Even Ning Xiaosi and Ning Xiaowu, who followed behind, had no expectations of them anymore.

In fact, you can clearly see Ning Fengzhi's mental journey just from his name.

Of the three children, the eldest son, Ning Mingrui, was undoubtedly the one who was highly anticipated from the beginning.

However, his innate soul power was still inferior to that of his father, Ning Fengzhi, which made Ning Fengzhi slightly disappointed.

But Ning Fengzhi was hoping that his next child would have even better talent, and his second brother's name, Ning Shouzong, was chosen with that expectation in mind.

As it turned out, the second brother's talent was not as good as the eldest brother's, but Ning Fengzhi still had a glimmer of hope, so he named his third child Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu's innate soul power was still disappointing, and Ning Fengzhi was finally completely disappointed, so he simply gave up on naming her.

Until Ning Rongrong was born, since she was a girl, it was impossible to name her Xiao Liu. However, the naming was quite casual. But since Ning Rongrong was a girl, she was slightly favored.

Then Ning Rongrong awakened her martial soul and it was discovered that her innate soul power was at level nine, which immediately filled Ning Fengzhi and the others with hope.

The original owner was the same; before her innate soul power emerged, she was still valued and doted on by Ning Fengzhi and Ning Feiliu's mother.

However, once his soul power talent was revealed, he was no longer given the same level of attention.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan felt even more sorry for Ning Feiliu.

"I'm really not that upset," Ning Feiliu said with a smile. "Actually, Sister Yan, you're more unfortunate than me. The death of a loved one you care about and cherish is much more painful than the death of a relative I don't care about... I know that kind of sadness very well. It really haunts you for the rest of your life from the moment you find out."

He didn't care about Ning Fengzhi or his mother in this life, and even if Ning Fengzhi had an accident now, he wouldn't feel sad.

However, in his previous life, he experienced the pain of losing a close relative, and that feeling was truly terrible.

Like a heavy rain followed by a continuous period of humid weather, after a day of torrential rain and wind, it always manages to leave you in a mess without you even realizing it.

This reminded Dugu Yan of the pain she felt when she learned of her parents' deaths, and she said softly, "Yes, that feeling was the most painful."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Ning Feiliu looked at the tears in Dugu Yan's eyes, paused for a moment, and then said with a soft smile, "But for the deceased, to receive the tears of their loved ones is a very happy thing."

"Would this be a very happy thing?" Dugu Yan wiped away her tears, paused for a moment, and then asked.

"Yes, because that means... in your hearts, they are very important, they are valued by their loved ones," Ning Feiliu said with a light laugh. "At least if I were to die, to have Sister Yan cry would be a very happy thing."

Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise and quickly said, "Don't say such unlucky things. How could anyone curse themselves to die?"

"Who knows?" Ning Feiliu shook her head and said.

"But I don't want you to die, I want you to live," Dugu Yan said earnestly, looking at him intently.

"I will live on forever," Ning Feiliu said casually, shaking her head with a smile.

He... of course, won't die easily. He will become even stronger until he stands at the very top of this world.

Today was so funny for Top Esports, they really got shut out by G2... As a fan of Top Esports, I feel a bit sorry for Meiko, I'm numb... I'm not in the mood to write today, so I'll just write two filler chapters.
