Volume 1: Life is Like First Love Chapter 114: The Land of South Morning!

  The composure of this young man did not seem to be feigned, but rather he truly had no fear. This kind of demeanor would not be uncommon on an old person, but for a young person to possess such calmness is by no means ordinary.

  He gazed at Su Ming, his eyes unwavering and unflinching, but as he looked, it was as if he had swept a glance over Su Ming's body, seemingly wanting to find out about Su Ming's origins from some minor details.

  Su Ming sat there, his entire body covered in a beast skin cloak, the movements of this young man after waking up made him have a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but what this young man wanted to see from him was impossible.

  "The injuries on your body have been there for many years." Su Ming didn't answer the young man's question, but instead spoke in a low, hoarse voice.

  The young man's expression remained unchanged as he gazed at Su Ming, silent and unspoken. He knew that speaking too much would lead to trouble, so he simply looked at the person who had brought him here, wondering what his purpose was.

  "It should have been when you were born not long ago, and was intentionally injured by a strong person..." Su Ming said calmly and continued.

  The young man was shocked in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

  "Go and feel the injuries within your body, what changes have occurred at this moment." Su Ming's calm words did not stir up any ripples, after finishing speaking, he closed his eyes.

  The young man was taken aback, and after a cautious glance at Su Ming, he hesitated for a moment before closing his eyes to circulate the Qi and blood in his body. He hadn't noticed it earlier when he woke up, but this circulation made him suddenly open his eyes, and in that instant, he clearly felt that the injuries in his body had improved slightly.

  Although shocked, he forced himself to calm down. He knew that his injury was caused by the savage technique planted in him when he was five years old, but the other party deliberately made him only injured and not dead, so as to delay his father's cultivation, making his father consume a large amount of energy every now and then to sustain his life.

  Even this injury is extremely toxic, over the years, he has taken a large amount of herbal medicine, but it can only be maintained and cannot be improved. Even the tribal leader, Mohe, was at a loss, and had said that if he wanted to recover, the only way was to find the person who planted the barbaric technique back then, kill him, and make the barbaric technique become a rootless duckweed, in order to succeed.

  But now, the injuries in his body have made some unexpected progress. He hadn't anticipated this at all. His breathing was slightly hurried, and he quickly lowered his head to re-examine the internal injuries, covering up the light in his eyes.

  He had longed countless times for heaven to let him recover, he didn't want to burden his father, but as the years passed, watching his father's gradually aging face, he had a mind to seek death, if not for some lingering attachments, he would have bid farewell.

  This time, the tribespeople came to this rainforest to stockpile medicine for the tribe. He followed them, not to heal his own wounds, but to prove that he was also a member of the tribe.

  But the protection of his tribesmen along the way made him secretly sigh.

  At this moment, he lowered his head, and in a flash of inspiration, when he raised it again, he no longer concealed his true feelings, but instead stared blankly at Su Ming, with an expression that revealed excitement and a yearning for life.

  "You..." The young man took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly.

  "Your internal injuries are quite severe, and I'm unable to cure you completely, but some improvement is still possible." Su Ming opened his eyes, his gaze hidden within his robes piercing through the young man's heart as he spoke calmly.

  The young man was swept by Su Ming's gaze, and suddenly had an illusion as if he had been seen through. He had a clever mind since childhood, and the excitement and longing before were all deliberately revealed. At this moment, when he heard Su Ming's words, his heart relaxed, and if Su Ming's words were very affirmative, he would not believe it instead.

  He was very aware of his own injuries.

  "What do you want?" The young man fell silent for a moment, his expression returned to normal, hiding his deep tension, looking at Su Ming, and speaking softly.

  "What is this place?" Su Ming didn't waste his mind on it, but asked directly. The information he was going to get would inevitably reveal the truth anyway, so he didn't hide it either.

  "This is the Guangyan Forest..." The young man spoke softly, but his heart was already moving, and he continued to say: "The Guangyan Forest is very large, this place is only one part of it. Further in, after the Yan Mountain, there is an even more vast rainforest. How far exactly, I'm not sure."

  I only know that from the direction I came from, about half a month's journey away is the city of Handan, which was built on a mountain. Because it is located on the necessary path to Tianhan, it is extremely prosperous." The young man spoke in great detail, although he had some doubts in his heart, but did not show them.

  "The sky is cold... " Su Ming furrowed his brow, silently sighing. The farthest place he had been to since childhood was the Windy Gorge Tribe, as for other tribes, he had never heard of them before.

  "The Tianhan is one of the two major regions in Nan Chen's land, where the city of Hanyang is located, and it is the southern part of Nan Chen's land." The young man looked at Su Ming for a moment, explaining that his inner doubts about this person were growing deeper, and he vaguely sensed that Su Ming was not from this place. This guess made him feel less hostile towards Su Ming.

  What he was most worried about was that the other party would be an enemy of the tribe. Now, through some subtle clues, he has become much more at ease.

  "Which tribe is the Hanyang City?" Su Ming's words were as usual, and if he didn't deliberately let this young man feel at ease so that he could ask for more information, he wouldn't have let him see through his intentions and those subtle clues.

  Su Ming's words made the young man feel more at ease, and a smile appeared on his face.

  Hanshan City does not belong to one tribe, but belongs to three tribes, namely Puqiang Tribe, Yangge Tribe, and Anfang Tribe, which are jointly controlled by the three tribes.

  I am a member of the Puqiang tribe, and I have the ability to heal your injuries. Why don't you join our tribe as a guest and become one of us? We hold guests in high esteem in our tribe. If you agree, we will provide you with a place to rest and help you better understand this land. Who knows, if fate permits, you may even have the opportunity to be accepted into the Tianhan Sect!" The young man said, seemingly casually sizing up Su Ming's physique.

  "It's too difficult to join this sect." Su Ming's expression was calm, and the young man's actions were all within his sight. With one glance, he could see through his heart, and compared to him, the person in front of him was just a mere child.

  The young man rubbed his nose and smiled slyly: "Senior is right, but entering the Tianhan Sect is difficult, it's not impossible. Ten years ago in Handan City, someone really passed the test and became a member of the Tianhan Sect."

  Su Ming pondered for a moment, then stood up. He could tell that apart from the youth's identity, everything else he said was mostly true. This information wasn't anything secret, and there was no need for him to lie. After organizing these details in his mind, Su Ming had a rough outline of this place. It was a completely different region from where he was.

  In fact, at this point, he looked up at the starry sky at night and found that the starry sky here was familiar with some strangeness.

  Su Ming got up, didn't go to see the young man, and didn't even ask for his name. Even if the other person said he belonged to the Puqiang Department, Su Ming wouldn't ask. The young man mentioned which department he belonged to, but Su Ming didn't believe it at all.

  Compared with him, this young man was clever but seemed naive, like a fledgling that had not experienced the storms. Looking at him, Su Ming seemed to see his former self.

  Until Su Ming walked into the rainforest, that young man was completely stunned. He had already thought of many changes in his heart and even prepared a speech. The ultimate goal was to ensure his own safety, but now all these preparations were useless in Su Ming's casual departure.

  "He actually just asked for some information about the surroundings... This person is strange, but probably doesn't have malicious intentions..." The young man touched his mouth, and in fact he had noticed when he woke up that there was a bitter taste in his mouth, as if he had been given something to drink.

  With his injuries slightly improving, and seeing Su Ming leave without a word, the young man finally confirmed that this person in front of him had no ill intentions towards himself.

  "If he wanted to harm me, there was no need for him to treat my wounds. Under severe torture, I would have said things that didn't involve the tribe's secrets... but he didn't. Instead, he treated my wounds first... and the Black Thorn Beast he used to capture me earlier, it seems he deliberately chose this beast, which is equivalent to a Blood Condensation Seventh Layer, something Ah Meng can handle, and won't cause any deaths among our tribesmen."

  The young man's mind was racing with thoughts as he watched Su Ming's figure about to disappear, and he hastily got up and ran a few steps quickly.

  "Wait, senior!"

  His voice echoed through the rainforest, but it didn't stop Su Ming in his tracks. With a flicker of movement, he vanished from the youth's sight, disappearing into the distance.

  The young man chased for a while without finding anything and couldn't help but feel regret on his face.

  "Alas, why did he leave so quickly? I was too cautious and missed the opportunity to heal... The young man thought about it more and more, his expression filled with hesitation, as if having a hard time making up his mind."

  At this moment, a rustling sound came from the distant rainforest. The young man didn't move, but he could feel that it was his tribesmen approaching. Sure enough, after a short while, the youth of the seventh layer of Condensed Blood burst out, followed by those tribesmen, none of whom had died.

  Seeing the young man safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The young man called A Meng walked up and asked in a low voice, but the young man shook his head, didn't open his mouth, and didn't mention his conversation with Su Ming. In his heart, he had his own thoughts, no longer hesitating, but becoming firm.

  In the rainforest, Su Ming walked silently, his robes already removed, his expression bewildered, heading towards the mountains in front of him.

  "The Land of Morning Calm."

  Handan City.

  "The Tianhan Clan... The Tianhan Sect!" Su Ming didn't know what the Tianhan Sect was, but through the youth's words and expression, he vaguely understood.

  "This Tian Han Zong, should be an existence different from the tribe..."

  "This is the land of Nan Chen, how far it is from my home..." Su Ming sighed softly, he only remembered that the black-robed man had said that Wu Shan was in the Western Alliance region, and Feng Quan Department was a weak pulse of Miao Man.
