Chapter 5 (2/2)

“After throwing out a few mouthfuls of blood at uncle’s house, I feel that my whole body had loosened up, and my mind is more active now, my disoriented intellect of the past also seems to have straightened out. Mum, I have a feeling that I will be able to reclaim back the top ranking in my cohort that used to belong to me.” Under Su Lingyun’s nervous gaze, Tang Xiu spoke with his face ‘filled with excitement’.

Tang Xiu naturally understood what his mother was worrying about, so he spoke entirely in accordance to his mother’s thought process. Of course, what Tang Xiu had said was not exactly lying to his mother, but more of covering up the truth with good intention.

After his soul returned back to his body, Tang Xiu had realised that he had a lot of blood clot accumulated all over his body, and knew that it was the repercussion from the car accident.

Initially, Tang Xiu wanted to give Su Shangwen a gruesome beating when he activated the Origin Ignition Art, but when he took action, he suddenly recalled that he was now on Earth, where world peace takes precedence, and not the vicious slaughter of the Immortal World. Su Shangwen was just a relative that he loathed and not a murderous enemy, so Tang Xiu retracted a lot of energy back and used this energy to clear all the blood clots in his body.

Therefore, the repercussion in Tang Xiu’s body did not just get cured miraculously, but was due to Tang Xiu curing himself. As for his studies, Tang Xiu had already recovered back his initial intellect after his soul returned back to his body, and coupled with the ten thousand years of scholarly knowledge and godly skills, if he didn’t obtain the top ranking in his entire cohort then he would have spent ten thousand years in the Immortal World in vain.

After making sure that there were no issues with Tang Xiu’s body, Su Lingyun went to do the outpatient procedures.

When they reached home and did a simple clean up, Tang Xiu had no choice but to head over to school due to his mother’s insistence.

“Xiu’Er, your uncle shouldn’t have made things too difficult for you since we are still his blood relatives. If you really can’t stay in Star City First High School then mum will try to squeeze you into Star City Second High School. Worst come to worst there is still Star City Seventh High school.” Before stepping onto the school compound, Su Lingyun was fixing up Tang Xiu’s uniform as she was reluctant to part, while speaking in a gentle voice.

“Mum, I got it. I will concentrate on my studies and not think of other stuff, because I still have you.” Tang Xiu lightly hugged his mother. Using a delicate voice, he said, “You have to take care of your body too, or else I would get distracted.”

Tang Xiu turned around and left after saying his lines, leaving Su Lingyun there with eyes seemingly red.

“Such a bear-like child, suddenly being so loving, I’m really not used to it.” Feeling the great change from her son, a sense of satisfaction began to well up while feeling deeply moved.

What Su Lingyun didn’t know was that Tang Xiu had not gone far. As he reached a turning point of the school building, he made sure that his mother could not see his figure before hiding at a corner at lightning speed, silently gazing at her.

When Tang Xiu saw that there were tears at the corner of his mother’s eyes with a face full of smile and delight, Tang Xiu’s nose soured as two streaks of tears surged out uncontrollably.

Nobody could imagine how deep the relationship between Tang Xiu and Su Lingyun were, including Su Lingyun herself.

Separated for ten thousand years, and yearning for ten thousands years.

In his ten thousand years in the Immortal World, Tang Xiu was always thinking about his mother, and she was also the greatest inner demon in his heart. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to put down his longing for her.

Even though Tang Xiu have not seen his mother for ten thousand years, but in his heart, his mother and him had been together for countless reincarnations. Su Lingyun would always be his mother, and Tang Xiu would always be her only son in every reincarnation.

Luckily, the ten thousand years in the Immortal World had let Tang Xiu possess a strong control on his emotions. Or else, coupled with the fact that he was feeling downcast from being betrayed and harmed by his lover and close friends, Tang Xiu would have hugged his mother and cried bitterly when he returned back to Earth.

“Mum, you were the one that protected our family for the past seventeen years. From now onwards, let me protect this family of ours!” Tang Xiu thought to himself silently as his mother’s figure walked further away and disappeared into the crowd.
