Chapter 44: Past Stories

After meeting senior uncle Qing Feng Zi, Little Fatty immediately felt the care and concern of a senior. Qing Feng Zi cared about his wellbeing and began to ask him about his detailed childhood growing up experience. Little Fatty said everything he went through, from how he was being bullied, even how the sect took his magical tool and gave him a broken sword instead. As for his Natal Artifact and all the bad stuff he did with Han Ling Feng, he naturally did not mention a single word about it.

After hearing Little Fatty’s complains, Qing Feng Zi was immediately enraged. He exasperatedly said, “Your dad and mum fought for their possessions themselves. What right of virtue does the sect have to take it away? What kind of a rule is this? There is definitely someone who wants to bully you! Little Fatty, rest a.s.sured when I return I will definitely report this to the sect leader. Let him take care of all these greedy b*st*rds!”

“Senior uncle~” Little Fatty could not help but laugh bitterly and say, “Such trivial matter, it’s best not to alert the sect leader?”

In Little Fatty’s heart, the sect leader of the Mystical Sky Yard, a YuanYin stage expert, is a lofty and unreachable existence. How would he dare to alert? Even if he has any grievances, he would not dare to alert someone like the sect leader. It is a.n.a.logous to how peasants would not complain to the emperor when bullied by the feudal lords of the state. This is because the difference in status is really just too big.

Unexpectedly when Qing Feng Zi heard this, he disapproved and said, “Little Zhong, this is what you do not know. Considering your parent’s relations.h.i.+p with the sect leader, it is also right for him to take care of you. If he knew that he did not take good care of you, he would be guilty instead!”

“What?” As Little Fatty heard, he was immediately said with surprise, “My parents are acquainted with the sect leader?”

“That is of course! Your name was even chosen by the sect leader!” Qing Feng Zi nodded his head and said.

“I~” As Little Fatty heard this, he almost started cursing. ‘Song Zhong, Song Zhong, is this even something a human would come up with? Because of this name, I have been looked down upon since young. Up until now, everyone who hears my name will immediately frown. It really is a very inauspicious name!’ Thinking about this, he could not help but say with much grievance, “Senior uncle, does the sect leader have enmity with my father?” (T/N: Song Zhong(宋钟), has the same p.r.o.nunciation as this other Chinese term (送終), which literally means sending one off to the afterlife.)

“No, he really thinks highly of your dad. Your dad has good talent and is very hardworking too. The most important is that he has a really good and casual character. He is loyal to the sect and is br.i.m.m.i.n.g with justice. He was really to the sect leader’s liking. He even intended to accept your dad as his disciple when your dad enters into the JinDan stage. Why would there be any enmity?” Qing Feng Zi asked strangely, “Why would you think that way?”

“Hear my name, Song Zhong,, ~” Little Fatty frustratedly said, “Who would give someone you care for such a name? This is too inauspicious, everyone thinks that I jinx my parents to their deaths because of my name! They all say that I am a born jinx!”

“This~” Qing Feng Zi did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Don’t listen to their rubbish. It is nothing like that. As for your name, it is also the sect leader’s error. When you were born, he was also there. Seeing that you were white and chubby and was really likeable, he could not help but say ‘Your body is like a clock and you will definitely accomplish great things in future. You can be named as such!’ Only after he finished, did he realise that your dad’s surname was Song, if you were named ‘Zhong’, your name would become Song Zhong! It was really not very auspicious!”

“When the sect leader realised about this problem, he felt extremely awkward and wanted to change it. But your father was really stubborn! In order to preserve the sect leader’s image, he stubbornly said that he agreed with this name. As such, you became Song Zhong! Haha!” Qing Feng Zi could not help but burst out laughing.

“Senior uncle, you’re still making fun of me!” Little Fatty suddenly did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Haha, okay okay, I’ll stop laughing!” Although Qing Feng Zi said that, but the laughter on his face was not any much less.

Little Fatty was also helpless, and he could only change the topic, “Senior Uncle, since my dad had such a relations.h.i.+p with the sect leader, why is it that after being tortured by people like that, he did not care at all? Is it because my talent is too horrible, plus the fact that my father pa.s.sed on, he does not bother to care anymore?”
