Dark Desires for Power

Chapter 6

After the punishment was done, He Yuguo turned around and stepped away from the Chen household while shaking his head.

"What grief and jealousy can cause is disastrous. Luckily only ambition and a clear mind brought me so far."

A few steps away from me, he stopped. No one knew what would happen and feared I would get killed. However, what He Yuguo did was what was the most surprising.

"Chen  Rugong try to stay this tense please, I don't want to make you go insane."

With these words his eyes expressed worry regarding my health. In my head everything got into a big ball of thoughts and an unbelievable mess. He, the one who was feared by so many people wanted to heal me! I couldn't believe it and turned my head a bit so that I could look at him. His eyes were glowing in a steamy red which stood in contrary to his friendly and warm smile.

"Don't worry young lad. You already held the pain in for so long let me comfort you a bit and take out the seed of death. Their anger towards the other households shouldn't affect you in your practice. Your potential is big and I think about teaching you as your own personal teacher. My position as a guild sect leader can be disregarded in this matter."

After motivating me, he sat down onto dusty ground and pressed his hands onto my back, while I stayed tense. As his power was flowing into my Qi flow, it was like heaven and earth meeting even if they are apart if you look at the position of where they are placed. Just a few seconds later, a sound could be heard like something torn out of the ground, when it was harvesting season. Blood welled up in my throat but I kept on fighting the remaining poison which got weaker fast as time went by. The time felt like it passed slowly for me, the one in pain. It felt like forever until he had healed me. In a casual manner he stood up with a neutral facial expression. When I thought he would leave, his left hand reached into his robe and pulled out a bottle with a strong scent of medicine.

"This should do the rest of healing. I neutralized the most harmful bits of it. The rest, I leave it to you. I hope you think about what I mentioned to you, I would be happy if you joined my sect as the disciple of the sect leader. Ah wait I forgot, you need a token to enter through our doors. Here it is. Make good use of it. I will see you again if we are fated. If your parents want to take the pill away I deal with them in a friendly and non-violent way."

With a cloud of mist He Yuguo left just like that. My heart was racing, the worst competitor won over the interest of one of the strongest sect leaders. People began to rumor and whistle while pointing at me. My mother came over crying happily and being emotional.

"You did it son. I am proud of you even if you lost the fight you won so much more. Let me hug you and be a proud mother crying into her sons arms."

I naturally let her. A feeling of satisftication rushed through my body. Euphoria and pride became my standing power. The happiness I felt was enough to live for my young life, I valued the few i've got.

"Son take the pill and you will be completely fine. Don't rush it if you don't want to take the pill immediately. You have enough time."

My father joined my mother and me.

"Father, what do you think? Did I fail you or destroy your reputation a lot?"-"Son what are you thinking. You are making me proud. I am so happy. Your personality made u biggest winner today. Strength doesn't always win, the clever man can also win over strength just like you. What did I do to deserve such a blessed child?"
