Chapter 628 (2/2)

Qing Shui did not know that a person’s eyes could express so many emotions at the same time. From his appearance and presence, he could tell that this was Di Chen and Di Qing’s father.

“Father!”

“Dad!”

Di Fentian and Di Qing greeted the man.

He nodded and approached Di Chen slowly.

Di Chen looked at the man she had not seen for years. His appearance had not changed much, but he looked more burdened and more unfamiliar. That made her feel sorrowful.

“Chen’er, I was useless. That’s why you had to suffer.” the man said gently.

Di Chen looked blankly at the man she should call her father, but she did not say a word. She actually want to cry but she held back her tears. She tried so hard…

Her heart was so painful, she even felt a little conflicted.

“Chen’er, is this your husband? That’s great. But can you spare a thought for him? He can’t win that old demon right now.” the man said to Di Chen as he looked at Qing Shui.

This time, Qing Shui just walked and stood silently beside Di Chen. He could see Di Chen’s fragility and unease. He wanted to stand beside her so that she knew she could rely on him. He did not say a word as he wanted to give her space to make up her mind. How she reacted will affect the rest of her life. Qing Shui knew that Di Chen still had feelings for her family, otherwise she would not have travelled so far.

“Was it because the Di Clan isn’t strong enough to win that old demon?” Di Chen asked looking at the man.

He smiled bitterly, nodding his head. “That was one of the reasons. And just like what Tian’er said. In that situation, the Di Clan really could not afford to offend the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord. They pressured us into the decision and nobody dared to go against that old demon.”

“Is there anyone in Di Clan that can fight against him now?” Di Chen asked in a serious manner.

“Originally, yes, but the Old Ancestor died three years ago. Before he died, he gave me some guidance. He also bestowed many items which were useful for cultivation. I managed to make a breakthrough last year. Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to challenge that old demon. Thankfully, there are others in our clan. If we work together, I think there is hope.” the man said calmly.

Di Chen hesitated and looked like she was considering something. She looked at Qing Shui.

“How about this? You both should stay at the Di Residence. That old demon will never leave the matter as it is. Why don’t you make the decision after we’ve defeated that old demon?” The man asked Di Chen. Finally, he looked at Qing Shui, his eyes somehow revealed the complex thoughts that went through his mind.

Qing Shui did not anticipate that there was still another expert in the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord. Regarding such situations, he rather take a precautionary stance. They even mentioned that this old demon would definitely take revenge. He knew that he had to be more alert. Since he killed the people from the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord, that demon will definitely look for him.

At the same time, Qing Shui was bewildered. The two Martial Saint elders in the Qing Clan did not mention this to him. Did they not know anything about this? Or did they decide not to say anything?

Qing Shui thought about it and decided that they did not know. After all, the old demon had left the sect for many years!

“We already have reliable news that that the old demon will come out and arrive here within three months. Someone has already reported everything to him. The Di Clan and Qing Shui are the old demon’s first targets in his revenge plot. If both of you were spotted, it will be too dangerous. It will be safer for you to stay…” the man said after some thoughts.

“Sir, what is the gap between you and that person? Uh, I don’t mean anything else. I just want to see how I can help you.” Qing Shui said.

“I am not sure. I think I am weaker than him by 500 countries, or even a little more. But the gap is definitely not more than 1000.” the man replied after thinking for awhile.

Qing Shui did some calculation and estimated that this man from the Di Clan was probably above Grade Eight Martial Saint — his strength was probably around 3500 countries. If the old demon was 800 countries stronger than this man, than the old demon must have a strength of about 4300 to 4500 countries.

“Chen’er. Why don’t we stay here and kill the old demon first. What do you say about that?” Qing Shui looked at Di Chen and asked. He wanted to help Di Chen and that man but it was still up to her.

Di Chen looked at Qing Shui as she knitted her beautiful brows. Qing Shui could feel that Di Chen was worried for him. He held one of her hands, giving her some assurance.

“Please stay. Even if you don’t acknowledge me as your father. I just need to know that both of you are safe before you leave. Seeing that you have such a good husband, I really feel happy for you. Your mother would also be elated.” the man said with a gentle smile, nostalgically. He was really very happy for her.

Di Chen trembled a little as she heard his words. When she was young, before her mother died, her parents had a very close relationship. She felt like she was the most fortunate person on Earth, but now…

She really missed those times!

“Alright, we will stay here for some time. Once that threat is eliminated, we will leave.” Di Chen replied the man softly.

When they heard her words, the man, Di Fentian and Di Qing were all very happy. If Di Chen stayed, that meant there was still hope.

“Sir, let me know when you are going to fight with that old demon. If it is just 500 to 1000 countries, I have a method that can help boost your strength so that you will be at his level or maybe more.”

The man’s eyes brightened when he heard Qing Shui’s words. He took a good look at Qing Shui. Even at his level, he could only vaguely tell that Qing Shui’s strength was about the Peak of Grade Two Martial Saint.

But he knew that he was wrong. This young man managed to kill off Grade Five Martial Saints who can display Grade Six Martial Saint skills. The young man must have some hidden talent.

Furthermore, after leaving, his daughter only took a few days to overcome her difficulty in breaking through to the realm of Martial Saint, and she was already an extremely young Martial Saint.
