Chapter: 1033 (2/2)
Another thing was that the contouring between Huoyun Liu-Li’s and Huoyun Peng’s brows and nose were exactly the same. The man looked at Huoyun Liu-Li in a daze and casted a quick glance at Qing Shui.
Staying here, Huoyun Peng didn’t know what had happened outside. For all these years, he had been living like an ascetic monk. However, an indescribable feeling grew in him when he saw Huoyun Liu-Li, it was a very familiar and amazing feeling.
Huoyun Peng seemed to have forgotten to ask Huoyun Biao who this person was or to even ask Huoyun Liu-Li directly. Right now, he was stunned by that amazing feeling.
“Hello, I am Huoyun Liu-Li.”
Her soft voice sounded like exploding thunder to Huoyun Peng, even his body trembled, “Lass, you’re Liu-Li lass, you’re my daughter.”
Huoyun Biao nodded to Qing Shui and left. Qing Shui carried Qing Yu and didn’t leave. He didn’t know what the situation was like in the Huoyun Clan and although a vicious tiger wouldn’t kill its own kids, sometimes humans are simply worse than beasts.
Huoyun Liu-Li looked in a daze at this handsome man who appeared to be slightly down and out, “Do you still remember this daughter?”
“I remember. Your father has failed you, but I’ve never once forgotten about you and your mother. Father has been working hard all along and hoped that one day our family could’ve been reunited. I’ve always been working hard…”
“If I were to ask you to leave this place now, will you?” Huoyun Liu-Li looked at the man and said seriously.
“I will. Daughter, why are you here? Do they know that you’re called Huoyun Liu-Li…” Suddenly Huoyun Peng appeared to be very anxious and worried.
“Father… It’s alright now. Everything’s over.”
“Over? They are willing to give way?” Huoyun Peng was very clear about what kind of people they were and thus looked at Huoyun Liu-Li in shock.
“Father, this is my husband. He had brought me along and fought his way here. I’m here to bring Father with me to reunite with Mother. Please leave with me!” Huoyun Liu-Li’s face was tears stricken.
Huoyun Peng walked over, tried three times to reach out his hands and carefully wiped off Huoyun Liu-Li’s tears.
Huoyun Liu-Li threw herself into Huoyun Peng’s arms and cried very hard. Huoyun Peng couldn’t help as he cried too.
After a while, Huoyun Peng and Huoyun Liu-Li walked towards Qing Shui. “Thank you. This must be Yu`er!”
Huoyun Peng took out a small wooden figurine. It was a wooden carving of a young lass and he handed it to Qing Yu. “I didn’t have any gifts prepared for you. I’ll give you this!”
Qing Yu was very happy to receive the wooden figurine and Huoyun Liu-Li broke into a smile too. She knew that this little wooden figurine was an image of her when she was young. Before she said anything, Huoyun Peng had taken out a box.
When he opened it, many wooden figurines were revealed. They were about the same as the one from before, but they were in different postures. Their expressions were different as well. Some of them were crying, some were smiling, some were sitting, and some were lying down.
“Liu-Li, my memory of you is when you were only at this age. In the future, Father will carve you a wooden figurine every year.” Huoyun Peng handed Huoyun Liu-Li the box.
“Father, this is the best present I have seen! Let’s go and meet Mother!” Huoyun Liu-Li said to Huoyun Peng.
“Alright. Lass, can Father go and have a talk with them first? After all, I’m a member of the Huoyun Clan and I’d like to tell them about my departure. Sometimes, there are things which can’t be helped.” Huoyun Peng hesitated before he said softly.
“As our parents’ kids, this is something we should do. Liu-Li and I will go outside and wait for senior!” Qing Shui smiled and said.
Huoyun Liu-Li held the box in her arms and nodded.
Before they left, Liu-Li let Qing Yu call Huoyun Peng ‘grandfather’. Having accepted the wooden figurine from Huoyun Peng, Qing Yu did so with a very crisp voice. It made Huoyun Peng so happy that he played with Qing Yu for a while before he gave her back to Qing Shui with a little hint of unwillingness.
Back then, his own daughter Liu-Li wasn’t even as old as this lass when they were separated. He didn’t even have a chance to enjoy a happy family life before he was put through the tremendous pain of separation. This separation ended up being over 30 years and just the thought of it made him felt aggrieved.
Qing Shui and Huoyun Liu-Li took the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant and flew away, as they headed outside the Buddha Mountain.
Huoyun Peng knew how powerful the Buddha Sect was. To think that this young man had succeeded to accomplish something that he himself didn’t have the confidence to, even after he had worked hard for over 30 years. He was very astonished. He headed to the direction of the main hall, as he also wanted to know what had happened in detail.
Qing Shui and Huoyun Liu-Li waited at the foot of the mountain. There were still tear stains on Huoyun Liu-Li’s face. She looked at the wooden figurines and how they were carefully polished. Each figurine was carved out very delicately, with his heart poured in.
“We’ll head to Demon Gate later and let your father meet your mother. Your family has reunited, you should put down the burden in your heart now. They do love you, both of them.” Qing Shui was very happy as well.
“Qing Shui, thank you!”
“Mmm, seems like you’ve forgotten again. I shall punish you with our house rules tonight.” Qing Shui grinned.
“I’m not scared of you.” Huoyun Liu-Li threw Qing Shui a charming glance.
Not long later Huoyun Peng came out, threading in the air. Qing Shui let him land on the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant. Huoyun Peng now knew the whole story. He didn’t even know that the Buddha Sect had wanted to kill Liu-Li until earlier.
He was infuriated. Although he could guess this, he hadn’t expected Liu-Li to appear. The Huoyun Clan wanted him to stay, but he still decided to leave.
