УПД
Спойлер небольшой очень показательной концовки одной главы, для колеблющихся:
Героя вызвал к себе патриарх клана, у которого даже собственные сыновья боятся, что их убьют за неправильно сказанное слово. Герой не особо рассчитывает выйти живым после беседы. Вот её окончание.
“Child, I have already done it. This whole Eternal Flame Clan is my body, and you are in it. Now, I exist above others, so they may be forever unsatisfied that they are not in my place. That is why my good friend will never rise beyond Emperor. He is content.” Patriarch Feng’s eyes look into his soul. “You are not.”
Liu Jin flinches.
“I daresay you hate this.”
“Of course I do!” Liu Jin snaps. “Who wouldn’t hate it? Who wouldn’t hate all of this?”
He waves his arm at the Eternal Flame Clan below them.
“You risked our lives and have not a shred of remorse. You spared Xun Huwen (сволочь, мразь и серийный убийца), not because he is your friend's grandson but because you deem him a valuable cultivator! Who are you to decide who is worth more? Why should your words matter more than everyone else’s?!”
“Rain.”
It rains.
In the blink of an eye, the sunny sky is gone, and heavy rain pours down from the heavens without stopping.
One word.
Just one word.
“It seems,” Patriarch Feng says. “My words do matter more than yours.”
Liu Jin does not answer.
Liu Jin cannot answer.
He can only glare at the Patriarch in impotent rage.
“There it is. That is a good look. If only my sons had dared to look at me like that.”
Patriarch Feng places a hand on Liu Jin’s shoulder and smiles at him like a kind grandfather.
“You will be a wonderful cultivator.”
