Chapter 248 – Reunion (2/2)

Three years ago? That’s exactly when he followed the advice of Ye Wuchen to leave the Tianlong City and to find Chu Cangming. How is it possible that he died three years ago…?

Cold Cliff felt incredibly confused. It’s so ironic, since he had always wanted to do something to pay Ye Wuchen back. He even tried to follow him, and he died already. What’s the use of his persistence and practice all these years?

“Who killed him?” Cold Cliff held his fists tightly. He tried to utter every word out of his mouth with much difficulty. His anger and his urge to kill instantly froze the atmosphere of the restaurant. Those who only wanted to watch a drama were now shivering out of fear. No one dared to breathe or make a sound. Even someone without basic martial skills knew clearly that Cold Cliff could be destructive if he wanted to.

The poor old man was like being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he could be bitten to death with a slight movement. Seeing that no one dared to say anything, he cleared his throat and tried hard to explain the very well-known cause of Ye Wuchen’s death.

He was initially a storyteller. He couldn’t even count for how many times he had told people about the battle of Ye Wuchen in Big Wind Country. He could not be more familiar with the incident. In the beginning, he dared not speak loudly. Soon enough, he was into the story, and Cold Cliff was brought into it as well. He knew that Ye Wuchen broke into the Big Wind Palace to kill Feng Chaoyang, and more than 10,000 soldiers…the old man was good at telling the story, and everyone felt as if they were in the scenario.

When Chu Jingtian and Cold Cliff left Xiangyun City, their hearts felt as heavy as a stone. The excitement of Chu Jingtian had lost and what replaced it was an unbearable bitterness.

“Before we left, Grandpa said, ‘when you walk in the world, you will often encounter unexpected circumstances. You must be prepared.’ Grandpa has already known that Ye Wuchen is dead, but in order not to distract us, he had never told us.” Chu Jingtian sighed, “I missed the times when I was hanging out with Wuchen and Ningxue…I didn’t expect that they had passed away so soon…”

Cold Cliff, “…”

“Hey, Cold Face, are we still going to Tianlong City?”

Cold Cliff, “…”

“Forget it. Pretend that I never asked. I suppose you miss your mother, right? She must be fine, rest reassured. By the way, we might as well worship our brother Ye Wuchen. It was already quite fortunate that he found his family before his death, and now everyone knows about him. I suppose he has no regrets. However, I didn’t expect him to be able to find his parents so soon. When my grandfather picked him up, he was only seven years old. I was with him all along while he was growing up. What enabled him to find his parents? Also, I didn’t expect that he became so powerful, even Feng Chaoyang was…”

Speaking of this, Chu Jingtian suddenly felt alert and he immediately shut his mouth. He tried to check out the reaction of Cold Cliff, only to find out that he was as emotionless as usual.

“Cold face, what do you think actually?”

“…”

“Hey, say something!” Chu Jingtian rubbed his body twice with his arm.

“Go to Tianlong City!” Cold Cliff stared at the front and finally said these few words.He had already got used to the way Chu Jingtian called him “Cold Face”. Of course, he only allowed Chu Jingtian to call him “Cold face”, if it were anyone else, Cold Cliff would surely make him know the feelings of regret.

“I know that we’re going to Tianlong City. But what then? You have a mother to turn to, and I don’t even have my brother anymore! I was even planning to follow Bro Wuchen everywhere, as my grandfather said. And now…”

Chu Jingtian’s voice was disrupted relentlessly. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth opened even more widely. Cold Cliff had stopped walking as well. His body turned stiff. He stared at the front without moving a bit.

They had already been far from Xiangyun City and got close to Changqing City. Although the road ahead was flat, in the wilderness, it was difficult to come across with people. The farther they walked, the fewer people they saw. And now, who’s in front of them was someone with a warm, gentle smile and it was a smile out of the joy of reunion. He was not standing there, he was on a wooden wheelchair, and his two hands were casually placing on both sides. A young girl was standing on his right side, and she was about ten years ago. She looked petite, and she had white hair, pale skin, and purely white clothes. She was wearing a bright smile. On her face, there were two fiercely looking scars. On his left side, there was a girl who looked very different. She had dark hair, dark eyes and she was wearing a black dress. Her clothes only showed how pale her skin was as if a coat of cream covered it. She had the face of a doll, and although she was only about 12, 13 years old, she looked fascinating. Anyone would be shocked at how beautiful she was.

“Brother Da Niu, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” The girl in white clothes smiled happily and her eyebrows raised. Aside from Ye Wuchen, Chu Jingtian was the first one who’s nice to her. And this girl was…Ningxue!

This sweet voice woke up Chu Jingtian from his daydream. His mouth was still wide open, and he was still looking at the man on his wheelchair, while he was still shocked. He stuttered, “you…you are Bro Wuchen…and Sis Ningxue? Well…I…”
