He could not even think of it!
Chapter 128: Picking Up the Leaks
Children their age, whatever great household they came from, had ultimately experienced little themselves. Especially in a family like the Xiang Family, with parents supporting them and a lineage to lean on, they would always be protected far too well.

Even he might not have amounted to much without those five years of unwavering persistence tempering his determination to advance, or his father Zuo Changlu constantly sending him messages teaching him how to handle things.
Many things offered different insights when he read them once, then again, then again... three readings in all.
Then, when he personally witnessed others experiencing them, he gained different insights again.
He still remembered his father's only requirement: when you encounter these things, or gain some new insight, never mind whether it is right or wrong. Send it to me so I can take a look.
Yet even when he actually sent them, his father never offered any assessment.
But as he sent them time and again, the things he had seen, heard, and experienced had somehow, miraculously, become his own!
They sank deep into his heart and became his own experience and understanding!
Li Chenglong was another example. His circumstances had not necessarily been any better than Zuo Xiaoduo's at the outset. Always at the bottom of the Martial Warrior Class, with an unusual physical condition besides, he had defined his place early on.
Yet those very circumstances had also brought his temperament to early maturity. He assessed situations and weighed the circumstances, followed rules of his own, and planned everything before acting. His calculations reached even further than Zuo Xiaoduo's.
