“Mingshu!” Liu Jizhen sighed. “You aren’t aware of what’s happened recently. Why are you so anxious? Furthermore, do you think you are really that strong?”
Lu Mingshu stared into his eyes. After a few moments, she sighed. “Master, do you remember how you were like when I first met you?”
Liu Jizhen raised an eyebrow.
“Back then, Master looked cold and indifferent. You didn’t talk to anyone and lived in your own world. Dispirited and in dire straits.”
Liu Jizhen stared at her and sighed. “I was in despair back then. I didn’t even have the will to live.”
“But I miss the Master back then.”
Liu Jizhen stared at her blankly.
“You were despair because you felt hopeless, and you had no will to live because you angry, but you had nowhere to let it out.”
“…”
“But what about the Master today? Lacks ambition, a coward, and lame. Like those elders who rather their younger generations end up with nothing and not take risks, so they stay safe. Am I wrong? I gave Master hope, so you decided to give up all your ambitions and stay in Green Jade Valley like this until the day you die?”
This time around, Liu Jizhen didn’t ask her to kneel. He knew that she meant it, and she knew what she was talking about.
“I know that you hope I stay safe, but is staying safe worth it? How can I rest in peace if I never take revenge? Where’s your ambition, Master? Did it vanish with your cultivation?”
“I am not stopping you from taking revenge. But I want you to do it when you are confident…”
“The zhou’s are having a hard time now. The strength that they are showing is just a facade. I can’t wait anymore, or Fu Mingtang will rise to power soon.” Lu Mingshu cut him off. “And if they are old, revenge will have no meaning then. There is no difference compared to them dying of old age. Master, I know you don’t want me to act impulsively, but I’m not emotional. I absolutely sure of my actions.”
“But you said you will wait until you have the strength to do so.”
“That’s why I joined forces with the Jade Terrace.”
“Mingshu…”
Liu Jizhen let out a laugh and fell back against his chair. ~I didn’t know I’m so useless that I can’t even control my own disciple.~
Lu Mingshu bit her lips and sniffed. “When mother died, I swore that I would take revenge when I can. So even if Master doesn’t support me, I’ll still do it!”
…
Xie Zhanghui slapped himself several times to make sure that he was awake.
In no time, the disciples practicing in the plaza saw their fierce guardian Xie who constantly looked like he wanted to kill, sprint across the arena. He looked like he just saw his lover, whom he hadn’t seen for a long, screaming “Young master!”
All of them looked towards the direction he was running. ~ Who’s that? He looks familiar.~
“Stop!” Xie Lianzhen screamed, putting his hands up to stop Xie Zhanghui from coming closer.
Xie Zhanghui, who was about to pounce on him stopped in his tracks and slowed down while looking at Xie Lianzhen with his puppy eyes.
However, in the next second, he forgot about it. He grabbed Xie Lianzhen’s hand tightly while shouting in his face. “Young Master! You’re finally back! I knew that you’re alive! Where have you been! Did you not want to come back? Who did you meet? Any interesting stories? Are you fine? Do you remember me?”
“Hey, hey. Which question do you want me to answer? One at a time.” Xie Lianzhen patted his back and signaled for him to go on. “Let’s go back first.”
“Oh.” After a second, Xie Zhanghui started shouting into his ears again. “Young Master, how are your legs? Can you walk now? Doesn’t it hurt?….”
Before he could continue, Xie Lianzhen knocked his head and sighed. “What do you mean by can I walk? Do I look paralyzed?”
~You were paralyzed back then!~ Xie Zhanghui rolled his eyes.
After walking for some time, Xie Lianzhen stopped to look at the disciples practicing.
Seeing this, Xie Zhanghui stepped out immediately and commanded them to continue their practice. “What do you think you’re looking at? Continue practicing!”
As if they had a wake-up call, the disciples scrambled to get back to their practice.
After watching the practice for a while, Xie Lianzhen smiled happily and nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad, you did a good job.”
Xie Zhanghui was on cloud nine upon hearing his compliment. “Nah, young Master is too polite. Guardian Xie is just doing his job.”
“Great, then I’ll spare the reward.”
“Master….”Xie Zhanghui look at him, flabbergasted.
Xie Lianzhen wriggled his brows and burst into laughter as he walked into the backyard.
~ It’s been six years, yet nothing has changed.~ Xie Zhanghui walked onwards, meeting a few seventh truth platform disciples on their way. One of them was even love-struck by his looks. “Who’s this?” He nearly drooled on seeing Xie Lianzhen and only realized what he was doing when someone reminded him.
“I don’t know.”
Another gasped in surprise at seeing Xie Lianzhen walk past him. “Eh? That’s the Alioth star lord of the fifth clan! He’s back?”
“He can walk now?”
“Alioth star-lord? The one that disappeared for six years?”
“Duh. Who else could he be?”
“Oh wow, he’s so good-looking….”
Piak! Someone smacked a disciple’s head. “That’s the clan leader of the fifth clan, watch your words.”
Xie Lianzhen ignored all the comments around him. He was in a good mood. Bathing in the sunlight, he admired the scenery around him. ~It’s different to see this in a wheelchair instead of walking.~
When he got back to his room, Xie Lianzhen signaled Xie Zhanghui to come over. “What has happened in the clan in the past few years? Has anyone broken through? What about the other clans? Tell me everything. ”
“Young master?” Xie Zhanghui stared at him blankly.
“Why? Is my order confusing?” Xie Lianzhen side-eye him.
“Of course not, young master.” Xie Zhanghui flashed a smile and reported everything that happened within the past six years. Anytime that he wasn’t clear, Xie Lianzhen stopped him and made him repeat until he understood.
Xie Zhanghui was unsure of what he was thinking of, so he stared at Xie Lianzhen weirdly after finishing. “Young master, what are you thinking about?”
“How to play with those who bullied us!” Xie Lianzhen shrugged.
“Young master, is that you?” Xie Zhanghui couldn’t close his mouth.
“What do you mean?” Xie Lianzhen glared at him. “Didn’t you use to complain that I did nothing? Now that I’m doing something, you’re unhappy too?”
“Ah, of course not, young master…..” Xie Zhanghui scratched his head and mumbled. “Are you back to destroy the sect?”
“Hahahahaha.” Xie Lianzhen laughed and sipped his tea. “That depends on their luck!”
