Chapter 0182 – I Have a Question – Absolute Returns

Perhaps even the Undefeated Power Demon himself didn’t expect that I would say something like this. However, when he himself said his grand wish of wanting to collapse the cliff with a single blow, a blazing fire lit up inside of me.

It was a longing, a desire to push the limits and create miracles with his fists.

The power demon’s gaze slowly moved down from my face and finally landed on my hand.

“With your little hands?” There was a hint of undisguised contempt in his tone.

LOL, I can’t believe I had a day where I was teased about my small hands.

“Compared to Lord Quan Demon, my hands are indeed small and tender. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, these hands of mine are considered gifted.” I responded in as relaxed a tone as I could, trying to diffuse the embarrassment in front of me.

“Stop fooling around and go back.” After saying that, Quan Demon turned around and left without looking back, leaving only a breeze to brush my face.

I looked at his distant back and swore in my heart, I will make you impressed with me!

I raised my head again to look up at the lofty cliff face in front of me, and I couldn’t help but feel a trace of doubt in my heart: if someone could really collapse this cliff with a single punch, how powerful was his protective astral aura?

I slowly clenched my fists, feeling the power surging through my body.

That night, I went to my father’s room and played a game of chess with him.

The crisp sound of the pieces falling gradually calmed me down. Perhaps it was because playing chess was similar to martial arts, both requiring full concentration and strategizing, that made me feel so at ease.

“I lost.”

This is the sixth game of chess I lost today. Looking at the unconcealed smile on my father’s face, I couldn’t help but feel a great deal of emotion in my heart. Whether it was in martial arts cultivation or in chess, he was a man who would never lose.

“When you’re free, learn more about chess from Military Master Sima.” Father said indifferently.

“Yes, child knows.”

“Tell me, what is it that you came to see me about today?” My father had obviously read my mind.

“Could you read my mind at a glance?” I asked in mock surprise.

“When you played chess today, you were obviously a bit distracted, and your moves were much messier than usual. It’s not an easy thing for a beginner like you to try to hide your emotions.”

“What beginner? I won a round against you today!” Although I said that on my lips, I was happy in my heart. It seems that my father still cares about me.

“My child has a favor to ask, and I hope that my father can fulfill it.” I finally stated the purpose of my trip.

“Tell me about it.”

“My child would like to worship Quan Demon as his master and learn boxing, I hope that my father will grant me permission.”

My father was not the least bit surprised to hear this, as if he had expected me to make such a request.

“If you want to learn, just go and learn, why do you need to report to me?”

“It is only natural for a child to seek his father’s permission to learn from his master.”

“What if I don’t agree?”

“Then the child will keep begging you until you agree.”

I decided to confess everything to my father.

“When I first approached Quan Demon, I did have some intention to test the waters. I wanted to see how big brother would react if I got too close to Quan Demon. However, today, the words of Quan Demon have completely dispelled my doubts.”

“Oh? What did he say?” Father seemed interested.

“He said his goal was to collapse that cliff face with one punch.”

The father didn’t show the slightest bit of surprise when he heard this, obviously having known about this goal of the Power Demon for a long time.

“His words deeply shocked me. At that moment, I suddenly realized that there really are people in this world who can put in such great efforts for a seemingly impossible goal. At that moment, I was deeply impressed by him, and I wanted to be like him.”

“You, you’re just too easily swayed by emotions, that’s your biggest weakness and the one that’s most easily exploited.” Father said in a serious tone.

I remember that when he first said this to me, he used the term “cheap feelings”. Now, he no longer uses the word “cheap” to describe my feelings, but has replaced it with the more euphemistic term “easily swayed”. It seems that the relationship between my father and I has indeed improved a lot.

“However, it is precisely because of this heart of yours that you have won the adoration of those Demon Elders.”

“Embrace? Do you really believe that they will sincerely aid me?”

My father’s words made me feel a little weepy. He, as a person, is really paranoid. However, perhaps it is because of this cautious character of his that he has been able to sit steadily on the throne of the Demon Sect Master for so many years.

“My child believes that there is no relationship in this world that is absolutely reliable, except for the love of parents for their children. All my child can do is to try to avoid the possibility of them betraying me.”

People’s hearts are made of flesh, and no one will change his position for no reason. If a person does change radically, it must be because his situation has changed.

“Do you know that once you get involved with the Power Demon, you are destined to fight him? He’s a person who hates failure the most, and if you can’t defeat him in his best area, he won’t be able to assist you sincerely.”

Father was right, with the character of the Devil of Power, if he couldn’t be convinced, he would never easily change his stance.

“What if I win?” I asked.

“Then your presence will be his new target.”

I was silent for a moment, then raised my head, looked my father in the eye, and said firmly, “It’s not such a bad thing to be someone else’s target.”

My father gave me a deep look, then nodded and said, “In that case, then you should go. Remember, when dealing with people like Quan Demon, you must be honest and not play any tricks.”

“My child honors his father’s teachings.”

I bowed respectfully to my father and turned away.

“Wait.” Just as I was about to walk out of the room, my father suddenly called out to me.

“Any other orders?” I turned and looked at him quizzically.

“From this day forward, I rule the White Son.”

“You want to back out? No, you must let me win three rounds before you do!”

“I make the rules, I can change them if I want to.”

Alas, who made him the head of the Demon Sect?

“Looks like I’ll have to hurry up and make my warlord learn how to play chess.” I shook my head helplessly and walked out of the room.

The next day, I once again went to the East Fist Gate.

Devil Quan didn’t go back on his word, he really did appear in the big martial arts arena today and was instructing the Iron Fist disciples in martial arts.

His attitude towards me was still as cold as before. He only glanced at me lightly before returning his gaze to the Iron Fist disciples who were practicing martial arts.

However, I was not discouraged by this. I knew that a subtle change had occurred in my relationship with him.

“Can I study with them?” I pointed at the Iron Fist Disciples who were practicing martial arts and said to Quan Demon.

The Power Demon sniffed and turned around, staring at me with his sharp eyes as if he wanted to see through me.

“You really want to learn?”
