Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Chapter 1169: Chapter 917–918: Jingyun’s Request, The True Meaning of Life!

”Knock!” ”Knock!” ”Knock!”

The three light knocks on the door awakened Jiang Dali, who was immersed in regulating his internal true qi and nurturing the Three Elements.

After slowly finishing his practice, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and knew who was knocking at the door without needing to open it, though he was quite curious about the intention of this usually cold-hearted boy.

Channeling energy into his palm, Jiang Dali casually sent out a stream of true qi from the Lao Gong acupoint.

The beaded curtain inside didn’t move an inch, but instead, the true qi curved, pulling the door open with a creak, revealing the figure of Bu Jingyun, who was only as high as Jiang Dali’s waist outside the door.

”Come in!”

Jiang Dali said flatly.

Since he brought back Bu Jingyun, over the past few days, the boy followed instructions to drink, eat, and sleep without saying a word, making people almost think he was mute.

Even though Jiang Dali had long understood the strange nature of this child, he did not particularly favor this cold demeanor. Also, being busy with healing, and later dealing with enemies like Tie Kuangtu and the Heavenly Monk who sought revenge fancifully, he became more indifferent.

Yet now, the other party took the initiative to come to him, which piqued Jiang Dali’s curiosity about what this cold being wanted.

Answering the call, Bu Jingyun entered the room, stopped in front of the beaded curtain, and didn’t say a word.

What Jiang Dali disliked most was this child’s silent and cool demeanor, so with slightly drooping eyes, he said, ”Next time you come to me, speak up if you have something to say, instead of standing there stationary.”

Bu Jingyun replied expressionlessly, ”Okay!”

After a pause, he slowly uttered seven words, ”I want to learn martial arts from you!”

He said these seven words very calmly, but his heart was not calm.

This was probably because he was accustomed to seeing too much disappointment.

Although this man before him seemed different.

But Huo Butian once gave him a different feeling too, but unfortunately, this feeling did not last long before Huo Butian was dead...

Dead!

What a terrifying word!

When anything is associated with this word, it means nothing has meaning anymore, symbolizing misfortune and pain.

Yet, it seems that any person associated with him will end up filled with misfortune and pain, to which he has grown accustomed, thus becoming numb.

Jiang Dali pondered over the unusual Bu Jingyun behind the beaded curtain and said, ”I can teach you martial arts, but you must give me a reason why I cannot refuse you. You need to know, before you ask others for something, first ask yourself, what can you offer them.”

Bu Jingyun said just one word, ”Me!”

Others might not understand the meaning of this word, but Jiang Dali instantly grasped what Bu Jingyun meant.

”Me!”

”Me” is, of course, himself!

Bu Jingyun, just seven years old, already knew that the reason Jiang Dali saved him was for him as a person.

Perhaps he didn’t know why Jiang Dali saved him for his sake, but he only needed to know what Jiang Dali needed, and that was enough.

”Hehehe, indeed, you are Bu Yuanting’s child, and indeed you are Bu Jingyun!”

Jiang Dali laughed.

His voice was naturally loud, and the entire Yingchun House heard his laughter, shutting other noises down, as if his laughter had an unfathomable magic power, making others quiet or preparing to weep when he laughed.

As he laughed, Bu Jingyun abruptly knelt on the ground. He never wanted to kneel in front of others, but for his mother Yunong and for revenge, he now knelt before Jiang Dali, saying, ”Please take me as your disciple, village chief!”

Usually unarticulate, at this moment, he didn’t know what else to say except requesting to apprentice, so he dumbfoundedly lowered his head, waiting for Black Wind Village Chief’s reply.

But after a long while, when still no answer came from Jiang Dali, he could only hear Jiang Dali getting up and the rustling sounds of dressing.

Disappointment gripped Bu Jingyun. When he looked up, Jiang Dali was already fully dressed, putting on a pair of deer skin bracelets, then tearing them apart in dissatisfaction and tossing them aside, saying coldly.

”I will teach you martial arts, but not now; it will be after we return to the mountain village. As for taking you as a disciple, that too will be settled after returning to the village. Get up.”

Bu Jingyun had been disappointed originally but did not expect a turn of events. Ultimately still a child, he responded impulsively with a ”yes.”

Then he stood up, following behind Jiang Dali, watching the attendants bring water for washing, observing Jiang Dali clean up, and join breakfast with Wan Wan and Dongfang Bubai.

Regarding taking Bu Jingyun as a disciple, Jiang Dali had other considerations.

He had no intention of taking this person as a disciple at all.

This is because both Feng and Yun have distinct life charts that could overcome Xiong Ba, and possibly others too.

Initially, he valued these two merely for using them as weapons against Xiong Ba, not to nurture them as future successors.

Perhaps other overlords, even Xiong Ba, would need to consider who would succeed the vast territories they conquered.

But Jiang Dali only cares about conquering and never contemplates who will pick up the mantle in the future.

His quest for domination is never for mere ambition, but to understand why he is trapped in this world, and to break the shackles of this world, and as such, even knowing Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng are no ordinary beings, he wouldn’t be overly enthusiastic.

”As for Bu Jingyun’s life chart, it needs Liao Rushen, that rebellious child, to come and confirm for the village chief..... Also, any potential Buddha Artifact and dangers possibly existing inside Leifeng Tower need a reading from Liao Rushen’s divination.”
