Chapter: 1033 (1/2)

AST 1033 – Father, Huoyun Peng, Mental Burden Removed, Some Things Couldn’t Be Helped

Qing Shui, Huoyun Liu-Li and Qing Yu headed towards the Buddha Sword Sect the next day. After one day, this matter had spread out very quickly amongst the top powers, as if it had grown a pair of wings. Although the Buddha Sect had tried to stop the news from spreading out, they weren’t very successful.

Qing Shui’s name was listed as ‘the top person one should not trifle with’ amongst the top powers. Of course, they all wanted to get close to Qing Shui and the Qing Clan, but they weren’t daring enough to come forth to talk or visit them at the Qing Clan’s residence.

Right now, Qing Shui felt even more at ease. The Great Golden Buddha Palm which he had cultivated last night was definitely stronger than the old man’s. It could be due to cultivating the Ancient Strengthening Technique, or it might be related to the Nature Energy and other stuff.

Riding on the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant, Qing Shui used his Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique to protect Huoyun Liu-Li and Qing Yu who was in his arms. Although the sound of the wind should be very strong, they didn’t hear anything. The lass was playing happily with Qing Shui.

Qing Yu was very playful and Qing Shui looked at Huoyun Liu-Li happily as he said, “The lass is like you. I was very docile when I was young.”

Huoyun Liu-Li’s face turned dim, but quickly broke into a smile, “Of course my daughter is like me. Is that not good?”

“Liu-Li, don’t think about it too much. Your mental burden should be released. Let them reunite. Of course, we’ll need to see what your father says.” Qing Shui saw the dimness in Huoyun Liu-Li’s eyes and he quickly consoled her.

“I’m fine. So many years have passed. I’m very happy now. My greatest happiness in this life is to have met you. Thinking back on our encounter, it was really very incredible.” When Huoyun Liu-Li mentioned these, she was especially happy.

“That’s right. This is fate. Back then, I was stunned to see such a pretty elder sister with such good disposition for the first time. I was already thinking how good would it be if I can bring you home with me.” Qing Shui said teasingly.

“Hmph, back then you were just a shy little boy, but right now your skin is thicker than the city’s wall.” Huoyun Liu-Li chided, but broke out laughing very fast. She seemed to feel very gratified when she thought of the past.

Qing Yu would also point her finger to some flying demonic beasts at the far distance happily. Every time she saw one, she would point to them excitedly as she shouted.

The Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant was very fast and considering that the journey to the Buddha Sword Sect wasn’t very far, they soon arrived at the Buddha Mountain’s Buddha Sword Sect.

No one had stopped them on their way up and they only got off the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant when they reached the top of the mountain. Within a day, Qing Shui became famous in the entire Buddha Sword Sect, which was why someone very quickly came out to the door to welcome him.

An old man was in the lead and there were over ten people behind him. Qing Shui could guess what status they held after he sensed their abilities. Moreover, the dignified aura that the old man exuded also gave him some clues. Even if he wasn’t the Buddha Sword Sect’s sovereign, his status wouldn’t be that low either.

There was another old man behind the first one who kept staring at them. He could sense a sinister aura from him, but it wasn’t something which made Qing Shui concerned.

“Hello, Qing Shui. I’m Huoyun Peng’s father.” The old man in the lead looked at Qing Shui and said with slight awkwardness.

When Qing Shui heard his introduction, he knew what the other party was thinking. He was trying to forge a connection of kinship with them. Before he spoke, the old man’s voice rang out again.

“You’re Peng`er’s lass, the two of you look so much alike. It’s been so many years, Peng`er didn’t tell us. We have let you suffer.”

Qing Shui was stunned. He had seen shameless people, but not one who was to this extent. He looked at the old man calmly and said, “Hello!”

After that, Qing Shui turned to Huoyun Liu-Li. She already knew who wanted to kill her, but she was only able to live because they didn’t know her. She said without any expression, “Where is Huoyun Peng?”

Huoyun Liu-Li’s words were very clear and the Buddha Sword Sect’s sovereign knew what she meant. He felt very resentful. This was his own granddaughter. If she agreed to acknowledge him as her grandfather, then Qing Shui would be his grandson-in-law.

“Liu-Li, this is a Youth Retaining Pellet and this is a Jade Phoenix Pellet. Take them as Grandfather’s meeting gift for you.” The old man took out two porcelain bottles.

“Thank you for your kind thoughts. I still have things to attend to. Qing Shui, let’s go look for Huoyun Peng!” her last sentence was directed to Qing Shui.

Huoyun Liu-Li couldn’t forgive the person who wanted to kill her, moreover it was her own grandfather. On the way back from Demon Gate, the two people from the Buddha Sword Sect had wanted to kill her.

“Biao`er, bring them over!” The old man let out a sigh and said.

“Yes, Father!”

A middle-aged man walked out, before he smiled to Qing Shui and Huoyun Liu-Li and said, “Please follow me!”

“Thank you!”

Qing Shui smiled and said before he left together with Qing Yu and Huoyun Liu-Li.

Huoyun Peng was the Buddha Sword Sect Sovereign’s fifth son. Which son was this Biao`er? Qing Shui decided not to give it much thought. Right now, the thing that was on his mind the most was if Huoyun Peng wasn’t someone good, he wouldn’t mind killing a few people from the Buddha Sword Sect.

On the way, Qing Shui realized that the place where Huoyun Peng was staying at was very similar to where Mo Hongluo had stayed. Both places were equally remote and in the same direction.

“Fifth brother, see who’s here to visit you today!”

Before they entered, the man’s clear voice rang out, as he pushed the door open to the courtyard. This was a very remote place, but the environment was good. The trees were well-matched with the design in the courtyard, it looked very pleasing and quiet.

When Qing Shui saw Huoyun Peng, he was also astonished. Huoyun Peng was considered to be very strong for his age. Although he couldn’t be compared to Qing Shui and Little Fatty, for his age, Huoyun Peng was someone that could definitely be considered as a great genius at his level.
