C5 (2/2)

”Fugui,” Mom said with tears in her eyes. She wanted to hug me, but as soon as she took a step forward, a yellow light appeared at the door, preventing her from entering. Mom was stopped by the yellow light and didn't see any pain, so she was probably unharmed.

I nodded towards Father. Father gritted his teeth and nodded slightly. His resolute expression was filled with resolution.

I left in large strides. It could be seen that my parents and the rest did not believe what I said back then. Looks like they were the same as me in the past few days. They were just pretending to be relaxed … After entering the room, Grandpa Sun sat cross-legged on a prayer mat. When he saw me enter, he nodded and said, ”There isn't much time left.”

”How much longer?” My heart was pounding.

”Hey,” Grandpa Sun seemed to be reluctant to break my expectations. ”Tonight at midnight!”

A thunderous roar sounded in my head, ”Brat, tsk, tonight...”

”Don't worry, after you leave, I will erase their memories of the people in the village. Your mother, I will cure the illness that she cannot have children with. From now on, you will not be the center of attention for the people in the village …”

Grandpa Sun thought about it very carefully. At least after I leave, everything will be perfect. But, my mood won't be able to relax even a little. I finally experienced what it meant to feel pain as though my heart was being cut by knives … After coming out, my parents were still waiting for me at the door. I forced a smile on my face, but it was even uglier than crying. I was still too young, and my emotions couldn't be concealed.

”Rich son …” Looking at my appearance, Father and Mother had already roughly guessed the outcome.

”How long, how long?” Dad asked me in a quavering voice, and my mother covered her ears and shook her head.

”Today... ”Three years,” I said, biting my tongue and lying to them one last time. ”Three more years!”

”Really, really?” Father was afraid that I would lie to him again, so he lit up his last hope.

”Really, if you don't believe me, ask Grandpa Sun.” I tried my best to pretend that I was fine. Three years, at least I still had time to get along, at least I still had hope... ” ”We still have three years, and we still have hope. I refuse to believe that we won't be able to find a solution within these three years!”

When my mother heard this, a trace of hope arose in her eyes. She hugged me and cried non-stop.

When I was still half an hour away, I tossed and turned, afraid that that moment would come. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he decided to go out and take a look. He saw that his parents had already gotten up and were staring at the sky with a face full of surprise. The people in the village were the same.

I raised my head and saw countless streaks of green and red light streaking across the sky like shooting stars.

Initially, I thought that they were just passing by, but who would have thought that a few of the long arcs in the sky would suddenly stop and head towards our village.

Amidst our shock and panic, we saw several figures descend at the same time. One of them looked like an old man with a grey goatee. He had an unfathomable appearance. Behind him were three young men and a young man.

The old man and the boy walked straight toward me, not looking at each other. My heart trembles, but I really don't know why.

The old man looked at me with surprise in his eyes. ”Good, good, good. To think that I would meet such an outstanding child here. This trip was not in vain.”

”Humph, your aptitude is indeed good, but I don't know about your temperament. If you can, it would be fine if you become my disciple, but since an old man like you has taken a fancy to it, so what if I give it to you!”

”Ha ha-ha ha,” the old man glanced at the youth, ”If it wasn't for the fact that you couldn't beat me, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so kind.”

The youth coldly snorted, turned his head and whispered to a young man. Then, he left.

When the old man saw the young man leave, disdain flashed in his eyes, and he turned to me. ”Bring him back to the door, and if there is anyone who stands in his way, kill him!”

The other two young men behind him clasped their fists and said, ”Yes!”

The old man gave me one last look and flew away.

Two young men walked straight towards me. Before I could react, my mother blocked my way. ”You're not allowed to take my son away!” My father stepped forward and stood in front of me.

Humph! You don't know what's good for you! For you, you ants, to catch the eyes of the elders is already a great blessing! If you dare to block our way again, you better watch out for your life! The one who spoke was a young man with a sword strapped to his back and dressed in white, appearing somewhat otherworldly.

”NO!” ”He's my son. Even if he dies, I won't allow you to take him away!” The mother's voice was hoarse, but she couldn't stop this kind of immortal person. The youth waved his sleeves and flew several feet away, but the youth showed mercy and didn't seem to notice that his mother was hurt. His father's eyes were wide open as he prepared to fight with his life on the line.

I quickly took a step forward and pulled Father back as I cried, ”Dad, forget it! They are immortals! We can't stop them!”

Mom got up and ran over to hug me with Dad, refusing to let go.

”Hmph, if you don't let go now, I'll kill everyone in the village!” I'll give you all three breaths of time to say your farewells! ”

”Rich son …” My parents held me, choking and unable to speak. They just stared at me as if they wanted to carve me into their minds.

”Father, mother, your son was unfilial and lied to you …” My eyes were filled with tears, but I had already revealed the truth.

”Mother doesn't blame you. Your father and I both know, we both know …”

Just as I was about to speak, I heard the young man coldly say, ”Time's up. Let's go!” With that, the other young man grabbed me and shot into the air, leaving my parents screaming at the top of their lungs. The cold astral wind was like a knife slicing into my face, and it hurt, but it couldn't compare to the pain in my heart. ”At this moment, it is Zi Xiang …” If you don't want to be blind, then close your eyes! ”

I was helpless. I slowly closed my eyes and tears flowed down my face. I didn't know where they had drifted to …
