71 Isll Take Care Of You (1/2)

Liu Xu and Liu Qing looks at each other. Their master is immortal too and have been teaching them how to cultivate the technique of immortality.

”Hong Li...How is he?” Old Man Cheng threw another question. His eyes brimming with sadness, this made Li Wei completely off guard.

”You know Master? Who are you to him?” Instead of answering she replied another questions.

”I've been looking for him for the past 200 years. He is my closes friend. Tell me, how is your master.”

Li Wei's heart clench. She regretted telling him her master's name. She wanted to lie that Hong Li was fine but she cannot dare to say so. Old Man Cheng deserves the truth about what happened to his friend!

”Master...? He...he is...dead.” The last word was a whisper but since they have shapr hearing, they grasp what the last word she said.

This news was hard to accept for Old Man Cheng. He believes that that man is not dead yet. He believes him, because Hong Li sent him a letter that he find the cure for his illness and come back to them while saying, ”I'm back! Who miss me? Anyone?”

Did he lie to me?

Hong Li, you bastard. I became an alchemist because of you. I've made a cure for you but I cannot find you.

”What do you mean? How? That bastard won't die.” Old Man Cheng staggered a bit and the Liu siblings help him to sit down.

Hong Li was his family. His sworn brother to the heavens.

”When I found him. He was already a ghost. I hailed him as a master since he left something valuable behind.” Li Wei explain while looking at the devastated expression of the old man.

”A ghost...”

So he left the some of his consciousness thinking that someone will inherit all of his knowledge. Is this fate?

”Since you are my friend's disciple I'll take care of you. I will teach you everything I know that he hasn't teach you. It doesn't mean that I'm your master but actually I'm okay with it, if you ever call me that.”

”Liu Qing, Liu Xu teach Li Wei some of the martial technique that I thought you. In the future I'll teach her to concoct healing pills and potions.” Old Man Cheng stands up. He wanted to get some fresh air outside.

”Wait. If it is like this, I have a favor.” She raises her hand to caught Old Man Cheng's attention.

The old man look at her and waited.
