Chapter 838 – Taking Your Umbrella in the Snow (2/2)
Luo Bu naturally couldn't be compared to Su Li.
But he was born with that sort of demeanor.
Whether it was matter, duty, sword, or umbrella, as long as one passed it into his hands, one could relax.
Seeing Luo Bu's back, Chen Changsheng understood many things. He was rather shocked, and also rather sad.
He finally understood why Gou Hanshi, Guan Feibai, Zhexiu, and even Tang Thirty-Six would always have that sort of attitude whenever they mentioned this person.
He also understood why this person had suddenly changed his attitude towards him when they were at Sloping Cliff Horse Farm.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng felt a rare hint of envy.
He did not envy Luo Bu, but envied people who had known Luo Bu for a long time and also people that could become friends with Luo Bu.
Such people included Gou Hanshi, Guan Feibai, the other disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect, and even Zhexiu and Tang Thirty-Six.
They were schoolmates, or if they had still not met, they still had the chance to become friends in the future.
But it was impossible for him and Luo Bu to ever have this sort of relationship.
……
……
Carrying the old umbrella, Luo Bu entered the old estate.
Chen Changsheng remained silent, so the people of the Orthodoxy naturally would not do anything. Strangely, the people of the Tang clan also made no attempt to stop him.
In a flurry of snow, his figure vanished behind the door.
The Tang Old Master looked at him and said, ”I didn't expect that you would come.”
Luo Bu gave a junior's bow and replied, ”Sir knows that I've always liked joining in on the fun.”
The Tang Old Master indifferently noted, ”If your father finds out that you appeared, he will probably not be happy.”
Luo Bu helplessly said, ”I often do things that make Father unhappy. Ah, now that I think about it, I truly am unfilial.”
The Tang Old Master's attitude towards him was clearly more casual than his attitude towards Chen Changsheng. He casually said, ”If you truly feel yourself to be unfilial, why doesn't he drive you out of the clan? Why is that every time he drinks too much, he always takes the calligraphy that you did when you were little and shows it off to everyone?”
Luo Bu bitterly smiled and said, ”Ah, the showing off the father is often the shame of the son.”
The Tang Old Master suddenly said, ”Since you also feel that your father makes people's heads ache, why don't you just take on my surname?”
Luo Bu felt even more helpless, ”It's not like I'm Wang Po. Ah, Sir, please don't tease me.”
The Tang Old Master asked, ”Don't you think that your surname is very strong?”
Luo Bu laughed and said, ”What's so strange about 'Qiushan'? Ah, I think it's rather nice.”
……
……
The surname 'Qiushan' was unusual, but it was very famous.
Because the famous clan of the south, one of the Four Great Clans, was called the Qiushan clan.
Because the Qiushan clan had an outstanding individual called Qiushan Jun.
He was the personal disciple of the Mount Li Sword Sect's Master, had taken on Su Li's legacy, was the head of the Divine Kingdom's Seven Laws, and possessed the blood of the true Dragon.
For many years, he had always been the idol in the hearts of countless young maidens, the unquestioned leader of the younger generation of cultivators.
In practically every aspect, he was without flaw, almost perfect.
And then, he vanished for five years.
Only three people knew where he was in those five years.
After that snowfall over the capital's Bridge of Helplessness, he had concealed his name and gone to the north. In the snow-scourged wastelands, he fought with the demons for five years.
Luo Bu was Qiushan Jun.
He was a great general of Sloping Cliff, and also a pine tree of Mount Li.
……
……
Earlier, the Tang Old Master had mentioned to Chen Changsheng that in recent years, he had only met five outsiders in the old estate.
In these past few years, the most remarkable individuals of the human world, those with the most potential, just so happened to number five people.
Su Li, Wang Po, Xu Yourong, Chen Changsheng, and the last one was naturally Qiushan Jun.
Moreover, due to the relationships between their clans, other than Wang Po, he was the person who had entered the old estate the most.
”What have you come to do?” the Tang Old Master asked.
Qiushan Jun answered, ”Today, I want to collect on the promise Sir made with Martial Granduncle.”
