Vol 2 Chapter 41 (1/2)

hapter 41     Father and Son

Xuan Luo’s speed was already super fast. He didn’t care about the injury on his hand. Currently, all he is thinking about is whether the villagers from Qian Deng Zhen were under the control of Shen Tui Men. He is especially worried for his Stepfather and Master Li.

The colour of the sky indicated that it was near sunset. However, that did not hinder Xuan Luo. Since he had left Xia Luo village, he basically hasn’t taken a rest. He wanted to get to Qian Deng Zhen as quickly as possible.

Xuan Luo also hasn’t eaten anything all day. But to him, eating is not considered an important matter. While he was practicing martial arts, he would often forget to eat. Generally, to martial artists, eating is something that could totally be skipped and it wouldn’t affect them very much.

By the time Xuan Luo arrived at the entrance of his village, the Sun had set. Instead, the bright moon has taken its place.

The night view of Qian Deng Zhen looked normal. All the houses had a big red lantern hung up highly outside their doors; everywhere was brightly lit.

The village was calm and it didn’t appear to have any issues.

Arriving at Qian Deng Zhen caused Xuan Luo to think of Bai Tian again. Originally, both of them left together to look for a Clan. However, now, Xuan Luo is all alone. He is missing his sidekick…

——-

“Stepfather!” Xuan Luo lightly called out as he pushed the door open.

However, no one responded from inside the house. Xuan Luo’s heart started to tighten again. By now, Guan Shan Jue should be home; sitting on the rock outside, drinking his wine. However, since Xuan Luo didn’t see his Stepfather, he is starting to feel anxious.

“Stepfather! Stepfather!” Xuan Luo loudly hollered. He looked through every room, every corner. He basically looked everywhere, but he just couldn’t find Guan Shan Jue.

Suddenly, Xuan Luo gazed pa.s.sed the rock outside and looked at the small door from outside the fence.

“Oh yes!” He seemed to remember something and quickly got up and headed towards the restaurant.

As expected, although the door of the restaurant was shut, there was light inside.

“Stepfather!” Xuan Luo yelled as he pushed open the door.

The view he witnessed caused Xuan Luo to boil up with anger. Inside the restaurant, the cups and dishes were in complete disorder; the tables and chairs were all shattered on the ground. There wasn’t one bit that was undamaged/untouched.

Guan Shan Jue was cleaning up. His old body was crooked, and he was moving extremely slow.

Seeing this, Xuan Luo’s heart felt sour and tears couldn’t help but spill out.

Xuan Luo’s tears fell from the corner of his eyes and slid down from his cheek. The tears started dripping onto the ground. Since it was so quiet in the background, the sound of the teardrops could be heard clearly.*

Perhaps he was surprised, but Guan Shan Jue’s movement clearly stopped. He slowly straighten up his crooked back and lifted his head up. As he looked at the teenager in front of him, a kind smile formed around his mouth.

“Xuan Luo, you’re back!” Guan Shan Jue’s voice was light, but right now, Xuan Luo has totally lost control of his tears.

“Step…Father…” Xuan Luo stammered. His eyes were hazy, and he was crying so hard that it was difficult to hear what he was saying.
