Chapter 125 - Separation (1/2)
As soon as Jin Minzhe was able to solve the Formation, he instantly went looking for his mother. He didn't even bother looking for his father, time was at the essence.
He found his mother slump down near a creek. The little girl was sitting besides her quietly. Sensing the someone's arrival, Qianru looked up.
"What happened to mother?" Minzhe was nervous, he didn't noticed that his hand was sweaty. Ever since his mother left the sect, it took him 3 hours to solve the Formation. His mind was fearing that he won't be able to see his mother again. He could feel that it was different this time.
He was frantic and almost went ballistic. The disciples were puzzled but was told by Elder Tefei, not to be bothered.
Seeing his mother at her current state, he didn't exactly know what to do. Just that, he didn't want to lose her.
Qianru sighed and didn't bother explaining to the newcomer. Her Master was already awake, just that. She seems frozen and unable to react. Her head was down, as she hugged her knees. Her master only said thanks and was silent after that.
With a whisk of his sleeves, Minzhe transformed into his kid version. He walked closer to his mother's side and slightly tugged her sleeve. "Mother?"
Hearing Minzhe's voice, Yi Ling woke up from her thoughts. It had been more than an hour, since she woke up from that scenario that Qianru sent her to. She knew now some of the truth behind her past. At least, some of it.
Meiling had decided to kill herself. Although it would seems like Muxin killed her, it wasn't on his own volition. Perhaps, only Meiling and Muxin know of this. Did Muxin blamed himself? Is that why he said he killed Meiling?Why did Muxin killed her family? What world were they talking about? And who was the king that wanted them both dead? And the woman that Muxin loved?
Yi Ling still couldn't believe that she had 6 wings! Six! How amazing would it be to be able to fly? Though above Emergent can able one to float, it was still different from flying. High as the Sky can take you.
There was so much unanswered questions in her head. At the moment, she was drown with sorrow and pain. Until, she heard Minzhe's voice. She never once doubted about Minzhe's capabilities on formation. She knew it wasn't going to take him long.
Yi Ling raised her head up and looked at the two kids in front of her. Minzhe looked about 5, While Qianru was about 10 or so.
"Mother?" Minzhe gulped. He could see that his mother was crying, he felt terrible for seeing it. Yet he knew that he couldn't do anything about it.
Yi Ling looked at Minzhe again, Wondering what to do with her life. Learning about all of this, made her felt tired. She only wanted to have a normal life. Live with her family and grow old together. Now that she have learned some truth, she didn't feel enthusiastic anymore.
It seems like the path that she need to tread, will become a hard one. Aside from finding her mother and avenging her village, she didn't know what to do with everything else.
Yi Ling sighed,. "Sorry for leaving you like that.. son.." She patted his head, ever so gently.
