Chapter 3 (1/2)
Early August, the Ninth Day
Early autumn, dusk
The sky was overcast The black clouds felt as if they were pressing down on his head Gazing out froloomy mountain peaks in the torrential rain that looked as if they could devour a person whole Suddenly there was a peal of rolling thunder and a whistling gale arrived!
Wen Jing faced into the wind and reached out to grab the violently shakingin order to shut it, his hair ust His lips ust, the ninth day, dusk Early August, the ninth day, dusk…”
Lu YunFei coldly stared at hi to yourself about?”
Wen Jing turned around, calmly looked at Lu YunFei, and said a phrase that Lu YunFei had been waiting several years to hear: “Yeye, I’ve ascended to Qi Refining level four”
Lu YunFei’s eyes faintly brightened, an ecstatic look flashed by and then faded away again He ood! You’ve done it! Tomorrow Yeye will take you to Xun Yan town to play!”
Having said that, however, his broere still furrowed
…ah, what a complicated mood
Wen Jing could see his hesitation After all, possession was an action in defiance of the natural order of things, the possibility of failure was very high Lu YunFei had feared death all his life Why wouldn’t he be out of sorts?
He said with an insincere cheerfulness: “Then I’ll go ahead and sleep early”
“……yes, that’s good Toet up a bit earlier”
Wen Jing turned around and was just about to return to his own small room when suddenly from behind him he felt the sudden rush of a cool breeze A completely wizened hand wrinkled like a dead tree rested on his shoulder as if huraveyard The fine hair on Wen Jing’s whole body stood straight up
Lu YunFei spoke kindly with so tiht ok”
This tone couldn’t be resisted Wen Jing’s body broke out in goosebumps Without any better option he took a deep breath and sat down saying: “Yeye, what do you wish to chat about?”
Lu YunFei sloalked around and lit a s shadoards in the diht
He seeed muddy eyes half closed Slowly he opened his ’er, Yeye has raised you for more than ten years now, have I treated you well?”
“Naturally you’ve been good to me”
“Do you knoho Yeye’s father was?”
The shadow on the wall swayed along with the flickering light reseure
“Father’s grandfather? Who was he?”
“Yeye’s father, was an elder of the fa (1) sect, Lu ZhiShan! Have you heard of it?”
Lu YunFei’s wrinkled face instantly beca with radiance
Wen Jing went blank
This kind of important matter, why hadn’t it been written about in the book?
In《A Calas》, Lu YunFei was only cannon fodder Thea randchild in order to possess his body Regarding any back story, there wasn’t the least bit of explanation
As cannon fodder, how could he have such an iround? That Lu ZhiShan was the only one out of the five large sects that held a heavenly wood spiritual root and had even taken less than one hundred years to advance into the Core Forhost’s father!
Lu YunFei’s eyes di a look of pained shame: “Unfortunately my aptitude was poor Since birth, only my three brothers have ever entered his eyes He has never once looked at ’er, can you understand Yeye’s suffering?” Wen Jing silently bowed his head and didn’t speak
Lu YunFei was agitated: “I refuse to accept this I’m also his son, ould he treat er brother, a Qi Refining level ten, provoked hi he had no future But I enty years old, and he never bothered to care what my level of cultivation was! Inevitably there will be a day that I will break through the liret his actions! I will have him look at the person who he didn’t even call by the name of son, how – -“
A fit of violent coughing interrupted his words
Wen Jing was still silent and motionless
Tre, Lu YunFei put one hand to his chest to fish out a s black tablet that appeared to be made of neither metal nor wood The corner of his eyes held a trace of tears The lines on his face were gentle Unexpectedly he had returned to his previous gentle appearance Lu YunFei softly gripped Wen Jing’s wrist: “Jing’er, Yeye is going to do so sect to find your grandfather (2) Even if he doesn’t remember nore you Not to mention your aptitude – -“
Upon saying this, Lu YunFei avariciously gazed at Wen Jing, his eyes wandering and shi+ning faintly
Wen Jing sneered to himself
If Lu YunFei successfully possessed him, his own small life would be lost If Lu YunFei failed in his atte hie to his family, this would also be his doom!
He looked at Lu YunFei’s hand, those dried up twig-like fingers, that appearance as if wanting to suck in the youth of his own body
“Jing’er, are you listening to me?”
Wen Jing slowly pulled his wrist away, quietly saying: “The fear of death, everyone has it Now I finally know the reason why Yeye wishes to possessas you”
