All along, Chen Tiexin had thought that his talent surpassed everyone else's. As long as those experts knew his talent, they would definitely take him in as a disciple. This was also why Chen Tiexin had not given up on the path of being a disciple for so many years. Even though he had already walked into half of the Royal Court's territory, he was not discouraged in the slightest.
But when he faced Samuel, his selfconfidence seemed to have left him nowhere to relax. His talent was no longer important.
Moreover, Samuel was obviously stronger than ordinary experts. After all, even Huang Xiaoyong, a good-for-nothing, could reach the Five-Lamp Realm in a short time. "Father, if the Chen Family didn't have a grudge against him, I believe that with my talent, he would definitely accept me as his disciple. But now... I'm afraid he can't." Chen Tiexin said.
Chen Yuanhai sighed and said, "You know what, I finally understand one thing."
"What's the matter?" Chen Tiexin asked in confusion.
"Maybe the so-called talent is worthless in the eyes of these real superiors. This is also the reason why you haven't succeeded in being apprenticed. Maybe you won't be able to find a powerful master in your lifetime," said Chen Yuanhai.
Through Huang Xiaoyong’s incident, Chen Yuanhai realized that the word "talent" was not as important as he had imagined, so he had lost confidence in Chen Tiexin. The efforts he had put in for so many years were probably just a bubble.
Indeed, talent was not important to Samuel. Even if he did not have talent, a single red fruit would be enough to open up his cultivation path.
For example, Huang Xiaoyong was a person who almost wasted his realm. He never worked hard on cultivation, but after eating the red fruit, all obstacles became invisible, so Huang Xiaoyongs path of breaking the realm was particularly smooth.
Of course, the value of this red fruit was very high in Xuanyuan World. Even for the experts in the last three realms, it would be very difficult to get it. They were not as rich as Samuel, and it was even more impossible for them to give red fruits to others as they pleased.
In some aspects, Chen Yuanhai's idea was correct, but in some aspects, they were indeed wrong from the beginning.
Chen Tiexin thought that he was talented, but it was only to give his own opinion, not to get anyone’s recognition. That was to say, for so many years, the father and son had actually been living in their dreams and consoling themselves.
"Father, how could it be possible? Only with talent could one reach a higher realm. How could it be worthless?" Chen Tiexin said with a pale face. The only thing that could support him to persist was talent. If talent was no longer important, Chen Tiexin’s confidence would be completely defeated.
"Come with me to see Samuel tomorrow. You have to apologize to him in person and hope that he can forgive what the Chens have done." Chen Yuanhai didn't care about his talent anymore, because he knew that these words were Chen Tiexin's last-ditch belief. If he recognized the reality, he might not be able to recover.
The Chen Family still had to rely on Chen Tiexin to support themselves. After all, Chen Yanran was a woman. Chen Tiexin could not fall.
After leaving Chen Yuanhai's study, those words kept echoing in Chen Tiexin's mind.
If his talent was really no longer useful, what qualifications did he have to find an expert to be his master?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could talent be worthless?" Chen Tiexin shook his head and said to himself.
The next morning, Chen Tiexin went out with Chen Yuanhai and headed straight for
Samuel’s yard.
On the way, Chen Yuanhai said to Chen Tiexin, "Put down your so-called dignity in front of him. This is the last chance for the Chens. If you dare to do anything disrespectful to him, the Chens will be doomed."
Last night, Chen Tiexin had prepared himself mentally. He was ready to accept any humiliation and said to Chen Yuanhai, "Father, don’t worry. I know what to do."
