Chapter 274 - 272. The Orb (2/2)

Zhang Wei racked his panic brain as he tried to find a solution for his mother's memory loss. Then the face of the person who knew his mother the best appeared in his head.

”Father…Father!” Zhang Wei urgently stood up and almost caused Hong er to fall off her little stool.

Zhang Wei swiftly pulled Hong er so that she wouldn't fall and his face immediately scrunched in worry, ”Mother, I am sorry for being rough. Do you perhaps hurt anywhere?”

Unfortunately, Zhang Wei forgot that Hong er was unable to hear him. Therefore he did a quick inspection on Hong er's body and sighed in relief as he didn't found any injury on her. After he was convinced that he didn't cause any wound on Hong er, he released Hong er's hand and started to fumble around.

Hong er who was left hanging by Zhang Wei had given up in getting the answer to her question. She just let him do whatever he wanted, even after spinning her around without telling her what it was for.

(A/N: Zhang Wei answered her verbally but Hong er who couldn't hear anything thought that Zhang Wei ignored her.)

'Where? Where is it?' Zhang Wei clenched his jaw in irritation.

Zhang Wei rummaged the bed and his rigid face instantly relaxed when he found the little box that he was looking for was hidden under the pillow. He hurriedly unwrapped the cloth around it and scrutinized the content. Zhang Wei sighed for the tenth time today after he checked that the content was still usable even after being dipped in the river water.

Fortunately he took two of this box just in case one of them failed to launch. And as he predicted, one of the box was flung away when he was going to give it to Rong Ai during the attack.

Inside of the box, there was a piece of dark orb perfectly secured with a tiny pillow beneath it. The orb was only half the size of Zhang Wei's thumb yet a mystifying flow of aura that was circulating inside the orb caused one's hair to rise just by standing near the orb.

The orb was given to Zhang Wei as a present for his success in controlling his power. In people's eyes, the orb was too typical to be considered as the most precious gift, yet to Zhang Wei it was the most precious gift that his father gave to him.

Weisheng invested numerous sleepless nights into creating this magic orb that could be used as a signal for them to locate one's whereabouts.

”Ah Wei, if you are in any danger, don't hesitate to smash the orb. You are now able to control your power, Father believes that you can do it.” Weisheng said this sentence and placed the two little boxes on Zhang Wei small palm.

Zhang Wei dashed to the entrance of the cave and stared at the cloudy sky, 'I don't know how this works but maybe with this, Auntie Meiyun can immediately pin down my location. With that, she can inform Father about Mother's being as fast as possible.'

Zhang Wei took the orb and placed it in the middle of his palm. He took a deep breath and clenched his fist. The orb was crushed into pieces, a surge of dark aura instantly shot up to the sky and dispersed the clouds in the sky.

Not even a second later, an earth-shattering thunder stroke the top of the mountain. A tall man in an imperial robe stood menacingly in front of Zhang Wei. His blood-red eyes were filled with murderous intent. Even the child in front of him froze on his spot.

Hong er who was horror-stricken by the sudden earthquake quickly ran to the mouth of the cave, 'Little boy!'
