"Old Man, I haven't offended you, have I?" Qin Yu thought to retaliate but suddenly stopped, not daring to move anymore, because the old man had begun—once started, it could not be ended—the pour-down of Inner Strength!
It was a common trope in martial arts novels, television dramas, and movies, one that Qin Yu had never imagined would befall her one day.
"Hey, old man, you really don't trust me, do you?" Qin Yu was somewhat angry, but the old man laughed while crazily channeling his Inner Strength into her, "I've long been fed up with your arrogance, little girl. I wanted to make sure that every time you think of me in the future, you'd feel guilty and ashamed."
"You're overthinking it; I won't," she retorted.
The old man didn't speak anymore, just focused on pouring out his robust Inner Strength until... he was exhausted.
