Chapter 7: How a Swindler Acts
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 15:16:20 +0000 UTC
The next morning, after bidding farewell to his mother and Na’er, Tang Wulin happily went to school.
After a night of meditation, he felt closer and closer to the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, to the point that he had a special sense of familiarity with the Blue Silver Grass.
It was a figure In front that caught his attention.
“Fusheng, this way.”
When Tang Wulin saw his good friend, he couldn’t wait to share his joy of having a younger sister with him.
Nan Fusheng was listening quietly. At this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly noticed that his friend’s face seemed to be a little “red” and his hands seemed to be a little purple. Upon closer inspection, he saw several scars crisscrossing and there seemed to be a slap mark on his face.
“Fusheng, what’s wrong with your injuries? Did someone bully you?”
Tang Wulin saw that his good friend seemed to be bullied and asked quickly.
“It’s okay. I’m used to it.”
Nan Fusheng looked indifferent. No matter how Tang Wulin pressed him, he got no answer. Even the excitement of getting a “sister” yesterday was diluted a lot.
The atmospheree between the two became somewhat silent, and finally they walked to the school.
The soul master class does not learn soul master knowledge every day, but one day of soul master knowledge and one day of cultural class. Today is the turn of cultural class.
Nan Fusheng was not enthusiastic about the academic subjects, but Tang Wulin listened attentively and was praised by the teacher in the academic subjects.
After school at Red Mountain College…
“Mom, why did you come to pick me up? Where’s Na’er?” As soon as Tang Wulin walked out of the school gate after school, he saw Lang Yue.
A trace of heartache flashed in Lang Yue’s eyes, and she quickly walked over and picked up her son.
“Mom, put me down quickly. I’m already a big kid. It would be so embarrassing if my classmates saw me!”
Lang Yue chuckled, “No matter how old you are, you are still my son.”
Nan Fusheng, who was following beside her, said, “Hello, Auntie.”
“It’s Xiao Fusheng. Did Xiao Wulin cause you any trouble today?” Lang Yue said while touching Nan Fusheng’s head.
“Xiao Fusheng, what’s going on with you?”
At this time, Lang Yue saw the scars on Nan Fusheng’s body. Although the scars had gradually faded, it could still be seen that they must have been left recently. When Nan Fusheng was a guest at their home yesterday, he did not have these scars on his body.
“If anyone bullies you, you can tell your aunt and she will help you get justice.” Lang Yue said.
Nan Fusheng shook his head: “Auntie, thank you for your concern, but it’s nothing. I have something to do at home, so I’ll go back first.” Nan Fusheng rejected Lang Yue’s kindness, thanked her, and left directly.
Lang Yue frowned. Although she had just met Nan Fusheng, she had a good impression of this well-behaved child. However, Nan Fusheng was unwilling to explain the reason, and she could not force him.
Lang Yue came back to her senses, thinking about what happened at school today, she squatted down and said to Tang Wulin: “Mom is sending you to Uncle Mangtian. Do you really want to learn forging?”
Nan Fusheng had no idea about what happened after his death. After returning home, he began to practice his soul power and did not finish his practice until the evening.
On the other hand, at Tang Wulin’s home, Lang Yue and Tang Ziran had a discussion about “Tang Wulin learning forging”. In the end, they decided to wait and see. If it doesn’t work, they will let Tang Wulin give up.
At the dining table, Tang Wulin could only sit there because of “arm pain” caused by forging. He chewed hard and looked at Na’er beside him with a smile. Na’er was feeding him awkwardly, one mouthful at a time.
This scene made Tang Ziran and Lang Yue stunned with surprise. The two pretty little people sitting there, under the not-so-strong light, presented a very harmonious picture.
“After school, I saw some scars on Fusheng’s body. Wulin, do you know what happened?”
At the dinner table, Lang Yue recalled what she saw in the afternoon and suddenly asked this question. Lang Yue herself was not a nosy person, but Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin had a good relationship, and she had a good impression of Nan Fusheng, so she asked this question casually.
“I don’t know either. When I asked Fusheng this morning, he refused to tell me. He just said he was used to it.” Tang Wulin said while eating.
Tang Wulin also talked about Nan Fusheng’s matter with Tang Ziran on the day their family decided to adopt Na’er. At that time, Tang Ziran also told Tang Wulin to learn more from Nan Fusheng’s passing of federal law to scare off those young people.
Tang Ziran frowned, thought about it, and decided to tell his family about some of the things he had learned during this period.
“I have recently asked people in the neighborhood about Nan Fusheng’s family situation. How should I put it? His family situation is not very good.”
Tang Ziran paused for a moment and continued, “Nan Fusheng’s father seems to have abandoned him and his mother, and his mother is also mentally unstable. She is very cold to him and beats and scolds him from time to time. She rarely leaves the house and only orders food and drink through the soul communication device. Other neighbors once wanted to talk to her, but were turned away.”
“As for Nan Fusheng, his situation is a bit complicated.” When Tang Ziran said this, his expression became a little complicated.
“Hurry up and tell me, don’t keep us in suspense.” When Lang Yue heard this, his curiosity was aroused. Tang Wulin and Na’er beside him also stared at him curiously.
“When Nan Fusheng was about four years old, he often ran errands for small restaurants in exchange for food.
Some kind-hearted people wanted to report the situation to his mother and asked her to take good care of the child, but she scolded them and even grabbed and beat them. Over time, no one dared to take care of him.”
“How can there be such parents in the world? Xiao Fusheng is so pitiful that he actually met such parents.”
Women are all emotional, not to mention that Langyue is already a parent, so she feels even more sympathetic towards Nan Fusheng’s situation.
Tang Wulin beside him also nodded.
At this time, Nan Fusheng, who was being discussed, also felt that his “magic potion” was being digested quickly.
“Sure enough, this method can also be considered a scam.”
In order to digest the magic potion of “Swindler” in Sequence 8, Nan Fusheng needs to play the role of a “swindler”,
So Nan Fusheng has created a “tragic life” character for himself since he was a child, in order to pave the way for digesting the “magic potion” in the next sequence.
This kind of advance acting is also possible. The protagonist ‘Klein’ in “Lord of Mysteries” acted in advance and even made the sequence one “potion” melt in his mouth in the end.
Nan Fusheng could feel that most of his “magic potion” had been digested, and the rest would only take time to digest, and it wouldn’t take too long.
“Although other people also helped me digest the food, the biggest contributors were Tang Wulin and Na’er.”
