Chapter 1083 The Origins of the Falsified-Sky Sutra (1/2)

That night, Han Sen spoke to Luo Lan alone.

She seemed to know already, and she said, ”It's too late now. When the Luo family started learning the Falsified-Sky Sutra, I knew it'd never stop.”

Luo Lan sighed and went on to say, ”I thought by hiding, and obscuring your lineage, I could provide my children with a better life. A good one. I never wanted you to suffer or be burdened with things you should never have had to. I was foolish to expect the Luo family would drop this matter after you refused to learn; foolish to believe they weren't so desperate, that they were even willing to get a woman, who didn't even possess the same surname, to learn it.”

”But I don't understand, Mom. Why are they so insistent on us learning it? And if Little Yan learns it, will she be in danger of any kind?” Han Sen asked.

If the concern of the Falsified-Sky Sutra only applied to him, Han Sen wouldn't inquire about it. But if it was going to affect his sister, he wanted to know as much as he could.

It concerned Han Yan's safety, and that was of the utmost importance to Han Sen.

Luo Lan looked at Han Sen, and Han Sen met her gaze. He had to know what danger could potentially face his sister. He was not going to let her deal with something so scummy and sly without knowing all the facts.

”If you are not willing to explain, then I'll ask the Luo family myself,” Han Sen said.

Luo Lan then told him, ”That would be pointless. Since you are now unable to learn the Falsified-Sky Sutra, they won't tell you a thing.”

”Then I'll destroy their family; how does that sound?” Han Sen proclaimed.

Luo Lan merely sighed in response, saying, ”That would be pointless, too. Nothing can be done for your sister right now, as she has already learned the skill. This is all my fault, though, and I accept that. It was stupid of me to not anticipate their desperation, and expect such an arrogant man to go so far as to teach an outsider. All by a trick, too.”

”How did this even happen?” Han Sen's blood was boiling, but he did not want his mother to learn how angry he was.

Luo Lan looked at her son for a while, and then she said, ”The Falsified-Sky Sutra didn't always belong to the Luo family, you know.”

Han Sen was shocked to hear this. Everyone in the Alliance believed the Falsified-Sky Sutra belonged to them, and them alone. For Luo Lan to confess it was not theirs was big.

But then, Han Sen recalled the Asura Sutra. If his mother was willing to elaborate, he hoped she would.

”Our ancestry dates back to a time when we were little more than interstellar thieves and space pirates.” Luo Lan continued to speak without Han Sen having to prompt her. He was as surprised as he was glad.

”Interstellar thieves?” Han Sen did not expect the origins of a now-high class family in the Alliance to rest in such a sordid history; one that revolved around theft and piracy, as his mother was suggesting.
