753 War Is About To Begin (1/2)

Touching his bag, his eyes were filled with hesitation and also frustration.

There were close to 10,000 miles from the Imperial Capital to the nearest port. When he reached there, he might not be able to bump into a cloud ship from Donglin Cloud Continent.

Not only would it use up a huge portion of his funds, but the journey was also extremely dangerous.

It was said that Great Shang was really chaotic and that there were a few Aristocratic Families prepared to revolt...

He shook his head and tossed these thoughts out of his mind.

He continued to walk home, hesitating a little before he bought two meat buns.

Who knows what he would do in the future? How was he going to earn money? His Mother hadn't eaten meat in several months. For a sick person to survive on porridge, how could she take it?

However, his Mother would probably scold him for this.

He shook his head and laughed helplessly. In just a moment, he entered an extremely dirty and smelly alley.

He was in a daze, relying on his muscle memory to walk toward his home.

When he walked to the door, he was startled.

There was a well-dressed teen standing there.

He was around seven to eight years older than him. Who knows what material his clothing was made of, but it looked really bright. He looked even more rich and noble than the Young Masters from the residence that hired him.

His face was also squarish with a wide smile on it. It was bright like a sun with a bit of devilishness to it.

He sized up Shi'er and then a surprised look appeared in his eyes.

”Are you Shi'er? Do you live here!”

”This is my home!”

Shi'er was totally confused and didn't know what was going on, ”My surname is Shi. For what matter is Sir looking for me?”

He looked into the room. Shi'er's pupils constricted, the meat bun in his hand fell to the ground.

He saw a woman lying face down, not moving or making a sound at all!

It was his Mother...

His only loved one in the world, who raised him up, both of them relied on one another!

It was like a thunder had struck in his mind as he was at a total loss. She was doing fine in the morning, but after just a half a day, she was gone?

He felt two warm streaks flow down his face. He wiped with his hands and noticed that before he was overwhelmed with sadness, his face was already covered in tears.

He expected that his Mother couldn't survive the winter, but he didn't expect her to be gone so quickly.

He shouldn't have gone to school today! Maybe if he returned early, he could have seen his Mother.

He didn't worry about the noble Young Master. He walked in and knelt down beside the bed in a total daze. He was stunned as he looked at his Mother's face, silently crying.

All men would cry when they were sad.

The richly dressed teen sighed and walked behind Shi'er. After a long while, roughly five minutes later when Shi'er calmed down, he spoke.

”I am Shiyue, you can call me Uncle!”

”Shiyue? Uncle?”

He rose his brow in surprise as he turned around. He thought about something, ”You are from the Imperial Capital Shi Family?”

Although he was using an inquisitive tone, but his gaze had already confirmed it. His tone was filled with an intent to avoid and distant himself.

”What a smart kid!”

Shiyue smiled, ”Yes, the Shi family. Your father is Shitao and is my Elder Brother!”

He reached out his hand and touched Shi'er's head, only to see the teen subconsciously avoid it. Shiyue was startled and then began laughing, ”Don't blame your father. Your Mother's matter happened for a reason! I knew you were here because your Mother contacted us today.”

Shi'er kept silent and didn't say a word.

Shiyue's brow furrowed and then he calmly explained, ”Elder Brother loved your Mother too deeply in the past. Unfortunately, your Mother came from Jingyin Sect, which was one of the Three Sects and Six Schools of Common People's Path. She was not careful and others found out about her identity. Your Mother wasn't willing to drag him down and left. Forget it, you won't be able to understand even if I told you!”

Shaking his head, Shiyue once again rubbed his head. This time, the teen didn't dodge.

”Anyway, Shi'er you just need to know that your Father didn't let down your Mother and he had no choice! You have no one left and you can't be left alone. Since your Mother handed you over to me, then whether you are willing or not, I am not going to see our bloodline wander outside! From now on, you are a member of the Shi Family, my nephew!”

His tone was really firm, there was no room to object.

Shi'er thought about it for a moment and didn't reply. He turned around and looked toward his Mother's body.

”Let's talk after I bury Mother!”

His heart turned cold like there was no one behind him at all. He didn't even have enough money to bury her.

Shiyue smiled emotionally when he saw that. His nephew was really filial and likeable.

However, what were his cultivation talents like? The Shi Family led the military for many generations and all of them did martial cultivation.

Since Shi'er joined them, then he couldn't be an exception.
