Chapter 541: Hu Zi, Don’t Cry

Hu Zi no longer drank Over the years he had beco drunk Once he became drunk, he would remember his Master, his eldest senior brother, his second senior brother, and his youngest junior brother

This longing was pure and plain torture to him It would make him wake up from his sleep in tears, make him drown in loneliness as he looked at the darkness around him and remembered just how alone and at a loss he was

He seldom fell asleep now, and would rather not drea i to wake up If he truly could not wake up, then the ninth suht fall into trouble

He no longer peeped either, because he had already grown up, he no longer had the strength to do such a thing… because there was no longer anyone else in this area besides him If there was any, then it would be the hidden Heaven Gate in the sky

It was a place he hated with everything he had He would never forget how Heaven Gate had abandoned the Great Frozen Plains when the cala an innumerable amount of the disciples in the mountains to leave They were made to wander without a place to call home, and he had no idea whether they were still alive or dead

He had to watch theon theround come under their jurisdiction, and watch the ninth sulacier et the day his eldest senior brother's isolation grounds went under water Tears had fallen from his eyes then, but he could onlyuntil his cave abode was gone, until even his youngest junior brother's cave abode disappeared under water At that ain

He could not stop any of this He could only continueeven his second senior brother's house, the plants and flowers dying, until only a thousand feet of the entire ninth summit was left

The lonely led for years, and he had no idea for howPerhaps… he would not be able to continue for long

With tears falling from his eyes, Hu Zi sat on the mountain He looked at the world in the distance, then at the sparkling seawater, and more tears fell froer, and even

He knew that if Heaven Gate's Bai Su had not harbored special feelings for the ninth suest junior brother, he would be in an even worse trouble

He also knew that Bai Su only had very little influence in Heaven Gate Even if her father had a lot of power in Heaven Gate in the past, but the thing that had happened during these past few years had caused hi his power and influence to fall greatly as well

Hu Zi would never forget that sight It was soely connected to a person called Si Ma Xin, who had walked out of Freezing Sky Cave when the glacier turned into an ocean It was so that no one expected, not even Bai Su's father!

Si Ma Xin had becolacier, and from then onwards, he became one of the powerful warriors within Heaven Gate His existence was also the reason why the ninth summit was in such a difficult situation

As Hu Zi cried, he touched his back and startedin a voice that only he could hear

”Master, I'm at my limit… Eldest senior brother and second senior brother went to Eastern Wastelands… Youngest junior brother, where are you…? Did you know? Our hoone… Do you still remember the ninth summit's principles…?

”Kill those who have harle plant of ninth summit

”Kill those who have harle follower of ninth summit

”Kill all the Berserkers of the tribe of the person who harle disciple of the ninth summit”

As he spoke, more tears fell from his eyes, and his heart clenched in pain

”These are the ninth suer here, are we… even considered a part of it any On that lonely mountain, the sobs of a man echoed in the air

Men do not cry easily, because their cries sounded horrid to the ears, because their sobs symbolize weakness, but… when they reach their limit, their cries become filled with their despair towards life

Those sobs filled with despair would no longer be unpleasant, but would be filled with grief

Hu Zi wept silently, until a sigh caentle, familiar voice

”Hu Zi, don't cry…”

When that voice spoke, a hand landed on Hu Zi's shoulder The hand that represented warmth caused him to lurch forward, and when he turned his head around while shi+vers wrecked his body, he saw a face that for long had only existed in his memories

memories

”Youngest… junior brother…” Hu Zi looked at Su Ming with a dumbfounded expression, and his mind went blank He could not tell whether this was reality or just a figination As he trembled, he slowly lifted his hand and pressed his palrabbed it tightly When he was certain that the hand was truly there, Hu Zi suddenly began shouting at Su Ming

”You're only back now?!

”Only the peak of the ninth summit remains, did you know that?! Eldest senior brother went to search for Master in Eastern Wastelands because we didn't knohether he was still alive! And while aiting in anxiety, second senior brother left for Eastern Wastelands because he orried!
