Bardon Bard curled his lips and said, "Elder Goodwin, you don’t know, last night you suddenly went mad, it was terrifying!"
"Yes, yes, we thought you were going to kill us!"
Allister Arthur chid in.
"I went mad last night?"
Leslie Goodwin was suddenly shocked and asked, "What exactly happened?"
"Elder Goodwin, the thing is..."
Lionel Yeager didn’t hide anything and told Leslie Goodwin what happened last night.
After listening to Lionel Yeager.
Leslie Goodwin patted his forehead and said apologetically, "Little guys, I’m really sorry, sotis I can’t control myself.
Last night I didn’t hurt you, did I?"
"No, no!"
Bardon Bard waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, Brother Yeager was quick-witted, picked up the Ten Thousand Dragons Ding and banged it on your head a few tis, and then you fainted!"
Lionel Yeager glared at Bardon Bard.
This guy really has no filter, blurting out everything.
Leslie Goodwin’s mouth twitched and he said, "Kid, weren’t you too ruthless, actually using the Ding to strike my head?
No wonder I woke up with my head hurting so much."
Lionel Yeager chuckled awkwardly and said, "Elder Goodwin, the situation was urgent last night, I could only choose to knock you out.
Otherwise, we might all have died at your hands."
"..."
Leslie Goodwin rolled his eyes at Lionel Yeager, speechless.
Lionel Yeager then changed the subject, asking, "Elder Goodwin, why did your mind have issues? Could it have been caused by deviating during past cultivation?"
"No."
Leslie Goodwin shook his head.
"Then what exactly is the matter?"
Lionel Yeager pressed on.
Freya Torres and the others also looked at Leslie Goodwin.
Leslie Goodwin gazed at the distant sky, silent.
Lionel Yeager continued, "Elder Goodwin, you know I am a doctor.
If you tell about your issues, maybe I can treat you."
"Exactly!"
Bardon Bard chid in, "Elder Goodwin, my elder brother Yang is an Immortal Doctor, there’s no illness under Heaven that he can’t cure!"
Leslie Goodwin shook his head and said, "Kid, my illness is not one you can cure."
Lionel Yeager said, "Then tell , how will you know if I can’t cure it?"
"My illness cos from my heart, not the body..."
Leslie Goodwin let out a long sigh, his thoughts returning to the past, a painful expression appearing in his eyes.
Lionel Yeager, seeing this, quickly said, "Elder Goodwin, if you don’t want to say, you don’t have to."
"Enough..."
Leslie Goodwin gave a bitter smile, "This matter has always been buried in my heart, I’ve never told anyone.
Since you little guys want to know, I’ll tell you, just as casual chat."
Then, he slowly began, "I was born in a small poverty-stricken village on the Payton Immortal Island called ’Star Search Village’, where a hundred families lived, with a population of just five thousand.
Everyone was ordinary, lacking talent, unsuitable for cultivation.
Although our village was poor, everyone was kind-hearted, helping each other without distinction when soone was in need.
So, in my childhood, I was very happy, carefree and without worries..."
Lionel Yeager and the others were quite surprised.
They never expected that such a supre master, who dominated over the two great Immortal Realms and wielded great influence, would co from a small village!
At this point.
Leslie Goodwin slightly clenched his fists, the pain in his eyes growing more intense.
He continued in a hoarse voice, "However, when I was ten, a group of cultivators passing by discovered a top-grade spirit dicine growing in our village.
So, they simply picked the top-grade dicinal materials away.
To us, these cultivators were like Immortals, high above us, and naturally, we dared not provoke them.
Even if they wanted to take the spirit dicine, we dared not say much.
But to prevent us from speaking about it, those cultivators slaughtered over three thousand villagers from our entire village.
My parents and little sister were also killed by them..."
"What?!"
"Those guys are insane?!"
"Just for one top-grade spirit dicine, they massacred the entire village?!"
Lionel Yeager and others’ faces changed drastically, unable to help but exclaim out loud.
Leslie Goodwin’s eyes were already red, tears uncontrollably streaming down.
He choked, "In the eyes of those lofty cultivators, ordinary people like us were just ants, grass, to be killed whenever they wished..."
Bang!
Bardon Bard suddenly punched the ground, eyes red with anger, saying, "Which sect were those cultivators from? We should go wipe them out!"
"Damn it!"
Allister Arthur clenched his fists tightly, "So what if they are cultivators, does that an they can just kill people randomly?!"
Even the big n like Glenn Lloyd were infuriated!
The won like Freya Torres had long been in tears!
It’s unimaginable how desperate the villagers of Star Search Village must have felt when faced with the massacre by those cultivators!
After all, those villagers were just ordinary people, with no power to resist!
Lionel Yeager’s fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking, he took a deep breath and asked, "Elder Goodwin, how did you survive at that ti?"
Leslie Goodwin replied, "At that ti, I was gathering herbs in the Back Mountain, not in the village, so I survived.
In the entire village, only I survived, and I don’t know whether to say it was the Creator’s favour, or the Creator’s cruelty.
When I returned to the village, I saw corpses everywhere, rivers of blood, a scene like hell.
Everyone was dead, all of them..."
At this point.
Lionel Yeager and the others couldn’t stop their bodies from trembling!
How desperate must Elder Goodwin have felt when he saw the scene in the village?
It’s completely unimaginable!
Lionel Yeager gritted his teeth and asked, "What happened afterward?"
Leslie Goodwin seed to be both crying and laughing, murmured, "That day was the darkest, most desperate day of my life, leaving an endless shadow in my heart.
On that day, I cried till my tears dried, my voice was hoarse, and my heart died on that day.
I vowed, no matter what, I would take revenge..."
Lionel Yeager gritted his teeth and said, "Such a deep sea of blood feud, naturally must be avenged!"
Bardon Bard also said hatefully, "Not only should those cultivators who massacred the village be killed, their sect should be directly flattened!
A sect like that, teaching its disciples only to cultivate, but not to be human, must be extinguished!"
Leslie Goodwin continued, "Since then, I sought apprenticeship in all great sects, asking them to teach cultivation.
However, those sects considered my talent too ordinary, without the gift for cultivation, so none would take .
But the seed of revenge had already been planted in my heart, so I would not give up and continued seeking apprenticeship in other sects.
Finally, after my persistent requests, a sect accepted , and from then on, I embarked on the path of cultivation..."
Glenn Lloyd shook his head, "How foolish those sects are, to think Elder Goodwin’s talent ordinary and refuse to take him?"
