C16 Dream Again

And on this day of the Empire's National Day, nobles from all over the country flocked to the capital to watch this grand ceremony. Some were invited by the Empire to attend, while some came out of their own accord to cheer! And all the hotels in the Imperial Capital would be full of guests that would cause trouble in the next few days. Every street in the Imperial Capital was filled with people. The happiest people were probably those shops and merchants. Because they could earn a huge sum of money!

In the Imperial Capital, a few days before the celebration, it was obvious that the martial law had been increased. Even in the bustling streets, You could inadvertently see the Imperial City Defense Patrol. And not far from the Imperial Capital, there was already a garrison legion set up, just in case.

One could imagine how spectacular the scene would be.

However, it was a pity that the unlucky young master Lee Xiang was still lying on the bed, listening to Sander telling him about the interesting stories on the street every day.

After Count Walker left Lee Xiang's room that day, his elder brother William still fiercely whipped him twenty times in the end! He showed no mercy.

Lee Xiang did not resist because he did not have the ability to resist. Therefore, when William looked at him fiercely, he just lied there calmly and took twenty whips from him.

Throughout the whole process of whipping, he didn't make a sound or even frown. Even though he was in so much pain that he almost passed out, However, in the end, he still managed to hold on with just one breath.

His clothes were completely tattered, and his entire body was covered in blood and flesh!

Of course, Li Nian did not know what he looked like, because he felt that his entire body had become numb. However, he knew that Sander and Maria had already started crying when they were applying medicine for him after the incident.

After that, Lee Xiang laid on the bed for more than twenty days!

Count Walker also gave him the strictest order to be grounded. Without his permission, Lee Xiang could not leave this courtyard by half a step. Even the last bit of freedom he had was completely taken away.

Lee Xiang's mother would come to his bed almost every night and reach out her trembling hands to gently caress his bruised body. She secretly shed tears.

Every time Lee Xiang came to countess, he would fall asleep by coincidence! It was not that he did not want to see, but he did not dare to. After all, he felt bad for using this kind woman.

What made Lee Xiang feel strange was that the matter of countess agreeing to send him to another place finally stopped. It was obvious that she had reached some sort of agreement with Count Walker. Of course, this was just one of Lee Xiang's guesses. He did not know that in countess's heart, she had secretly made a decision that had almost changed Lee Xiang's entire life.

Lee Xiang's elder sister, Catherine had never come to see him ever since that time. According to Sander, she had been staying in Count's Mansion and wanted to return after the Empire's National Day Ceremony. It was obvious that Count had stopped her from coming to see him.

Just five days before the Empire's National Day Ceremony, a few important things happened in the Empire! And these things had shocked the entire Empire, and even the entire continent. Of course, Lee Xiang did not know about these things!

There were still two days before the Empire's National Day Ceremony, and Lee Xiang could finally walk freely on the ground!

Standing naked in front of the mirror, Lee Xiang looked at his newly grown skin, but his heart was filled with hatred! That day, William had whipped him with every whip. It was like a knife stabbing into his heart. In his impression, even if the servants in Count's Mansion did something wrong, they would not receive such a severe punishment. This was absolutely true. Even Sander, the servant who took care of Lee Xiang, only lost a little of his salary. However, he, third young master of Count's Mansion, had been thoroughly fixed.

When the last whip was finished, Lee Xiang had completely given up on Count Walker. He swore that he would never allow anyone to swing this whip in front of him in his entire life. Never!

Many years later, everyone in Osman Continent knew that Lee Xiang had a very strange habit. No matter who you are, no matter how great your background is. . . There was once an empire's Baron. Because once, he accidentally revealed a whip in front of him. In the end, he was whipped twenty times by Lee Xiang and hung on the tree for two days and two nights.

Such a severe punishment made everyone confused. Only Sander, who was already very old at that time, knew why this was happening. It was William's whipping this time that made Lee Xiang feel humiliated for the rest of his life!

Lee Xiang put on his clothes calmly. He was very satisfied with the skin on his body. His originally scarred skin miraculously did not leave any scars, and it was even more perfect than before. It was like a newborn baby, and there was even a faint smell of milk. Especially his palms. They seemed to have changed completely. His originally long and slender fingers were now even more. . . Lee Xiang could not describe this feeling. He could only express his thoughts but not his thoughts. However, he realized that other than being good-looking, the other advantage of his fingers was that they could play his meticulously crafted ancient zither better. This discovery made him slightly depressed.

Was it very strange? Lee Xiang did not find it strange at all. He knew why this unimaginable phenomenon was happening.

Since the second day after he was whipped twenty times, Lee Xiang's dream, which he had been dreaming for more than ten years, suddenly appeared again after a period of time. He was looking forward to it.

In the dream. . . This time, he could not only hear the vague voice, but he saw a man in black. The reason why he said he was a man was because Lee Xiang could tell that his voice was a man. He could not see anything else clearly. Of course, there was also his star-like eyes. The black eyes were the same as his. They were so black that it made one's heart palpitate!

"How is it? Kid, how does this twenty whips taste?" A gloomy laughter was heard in the dream as usual.

" You are finally willing to show yourself again. . . Although you are still hiding in the dark, I am still very pleased. This time, I finally know that you are a living person and not some other damn thing. " Lee Xiang had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only choose to vent it in his dreams.

The person in the dream did not get angry because of Lee Xiang's ridicule. Instead, he looked at Lee Xiang with great interest and clicked his tongue in praise.

"Judging from your tone just now, it seems like you have been waiting for me to appear. It seems like you have completely understood a lot of things after the twenty whips. Un. . . I am very comforting. "

Lee Xiang was silent for a while. Indeed, he understood a lot. And he had also learned a lot, just like what the person in the dream had said. There might be familial love in this world, but it was also built on a benefit. Once interests were threatened, then everything had to make way for it. To be honest, he really didn't understand that he was just playing a little trick. Why would his Earl's father want to kill him? Was it just because he was a peasant? Or was it because he played the piano that day? He had heard about this from Sander later on. If that was the case, then it was necessary to change the current order of this world. This was the problem that Lee Xiang had been thinking hard about in bed for the past few days. Because these twenty whips taught him a lot of things. At the same time, it also reminded him of eighteen years of memories.

It was indeed time to change!

"That's right. These days. . . I have been waiting for you to appear. " Lee Xiang nodded. To be honest, he did not know if this dream was real or not. However, a dream that could last for more than ten years was abnormal in itself. And most importantly, he was actually able to explain everything that happened to him every day clearly. This was the second point. Thus, he suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart. After all, this way, he could still have a glimmer of hope. Perhaps this is what it means to seek help in a desperate situation?

"Haha. . . " A hearty laugh came from the dream man. "I said. . . One day you will come and beg me. . . "

"Alright. . . Stop making sarcastic remarks. Just say it, what can I get from being your disciple?" Lee Xiang impatiently interrupted him.

"Power, a power that can make the entire continent tremble. . . One day. . . You'll find money, beautiful women, hot power, and the world in your hands, of course. These things are not waiting for you to pick them up, there is not such a light thing in this world, Because they belong to someone else, and you need to use the power I give you. . . Use all the resources you can to work hard to get them. Or you can interpret it as possessing them. . . And then firmly controlling them in your own hands. . . "

Lee Xiang was slightly stunned.

Money, beautiful women, influential power, and. . . The world! These were all things that were out of reach. To be honest, he suddenly felt like he was a madman. He actually treated an unrealistic dream as his last straw of hope. It was ridiculous.

"Don't doubt the authenticity of what I said! This isn't a simple dream!" The person in the dream clearly felt the subtle changes in Lee Xiang's heart. His tone immediately became incomparably solemn. "Don't you feel strange that your skin doesn't have the slightest scar? Don't you feel that there is a slight change in your body all of a sudden? This is a proof! Take it as a gift for you. And there will be many surprises waiting for you in the future. Perhaps one day when you suddenly wake up, you will find that you have obtained something that you can only dream of. . . "

Lee Xiang was stunned again. So that's how it is? He nodded. "Then you should at least tell me what I have to pay to be your disciple. "

"Everything!" The voice of the dream man sounded extremely solemn. "All of you, including your life! For generations to come, you can only listen to my call, the will to obey. . . I am your master, the supreme master, you must abandon all of your faith, only I am all of you! "

Lee Xiang found it funny. "Selling everything you have in exchange for the identity of a disciple? Am I f * cking sick? Do you think I will agree?"

" You will agree, because you have no other choice! " The Dream Man said in a mocking tone. "And I have to remind you, This is a rare opportunity, and many people dream of becoming my disciple. But until now, they haven't been able to get what they want because they haven't fulfilled my request. . . So it's not easy to become my disciple. You have to get everything I told you just now before you can be considered my true disciple. Otherwise, you will just be a pet of mine. In the end, pets can't be compared to disciples. "

Lee Xiang fell silent again. He could hear the tone of the person in his dream. Obviously, he was not happy about himself. His intuition told him that it should be true. The truth also proved this point.

Was it worth it to do this? Did he spend his entire life fulfilling his wish to become his disciple? Was it a little ridiculous? In fact, it was impossible for him to achieve such a goal in his entire life? Then why were there so many people striving to be the first?

Was it worth it? Not worth it? Lee Xiang kept thinking about this question in his mind.

"Rather than living an unknown life, I might as well die a glorious death! You are a smart person, don't you understand this simple logic?" The person in the dream could clearly see Lee Xiang's hesitation and could not help but mock him.

Lee Xiang sighed slightly: "I really want to know, how can you give me the power you mentioned?"

"You don't have to worry about this? I naturally have my ways. And I can tell you clearly that this requires a process. . . A test process! So you must not think that I will grant you a one-time gift! A lot. . . Only when I think that you have passed the test will I give you this reward bit by bit. . . "

Lee Xiang nodded. Under normal circumstances, this would make sense. After all, one must always be wary of others.

"Aren't you afraid that I will betray you after this matter is over?" Lee Xiang asked.

"I am not worried, because no such person has appeared so far. Even if there is one, I will take care of it. Furthermore, since I can give you these things, I will naturally be able to take them back. . . " The dream person let out a confident laugh.

However, Lee Xiang felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

"Did you agree?"

Lee Xiang sighed sadly. Apart from this, what else could he do? Indeed, rather than living in silence, he might as well die a glorious death! How many times was it hard to win in one's life?

"Kaka. . . " Lee Xiang's final nod made the person in the dream laugh very complacently. "You are a smart man. You did not disappoint me. "

"I think you should tell me who you are now. "

Lee Xiang was very curious. He was really curious.

"Young man, work hard to achieve your goal! Opportunities will appear at any time. It depends on whether you can grasp it or not. . . Only then will you be qualified to know who I am. Also, let me tell you, when you reach your goal, You will find another surprise waiting for you. . . Haha. . . " The person in the dream instantly disappeared.

"You still haven't given me what you should have given me?" Lee Xiang asked urgently.

"I will come to you. . . You can't hold it in anymore. This is not good!"

. . .

Just like that, Lee Xiang sold himself completely to a person he did not know about in his dream! Maybe this person was not even human? To be honest, he had been looking forward to this dream to appear again for a period of time. Unfortunately, this dream did not appear again. Could it be that this was really a dream? But why did such an unimaginable phenomenon appear in his body? And it was so real? If it was not a dream, then. . . Lee Xiang was completely confused.

But even so, he still thought that there was someone in this world that needed to be changed. From today onwards, he needed to work towards this goal. He had to work at all costs. Of course, the first condition was that he had to leave this damn place.

He even hoped that this dream of his was real! And he desperately hoped that this day would come.

Footsteps came from outside the door. It woke Lee Xiang up from his thoughts.
