“To where you need to go.” The old man stroked his beard and laughed, then he stretched out his hand: “Come with me!”
“But, I still want to find my Father and Mother, and I still have to find my niece!” Little Feng Ye placed his hands behind his back and took a step back: “If I leave, I won’t be able to see my Father and Mother, and my niece won’t be able to find me.”
“Hahaha.” The old man chuckled. He glanced at him deeply and said meaningfully: “It’s not that you won’t be able to meet, it’s that the time to meet hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Why?” The little guy seemed to like to ask why, because he didn’t understand what he was saying.
At first, the old man didn’t want to say more. However, when he saw the little guy had taken a step back and placed his hands behind his back, unwilling to leave with him, he explained patiently: “Let me ask you, did your mother have a difficult labour when she gave birth to you?”
Little Feng Ye blinked and thought for a while, then he nodded in a daze: “Yes! My Father and Mother have mentioned it before, she almost died giving birth to me. It was my niece who helped my mother during delivery so that we could both live.”
He had heard about this matter many times, ever since he was able to understand words. If it hadn’t been for Feng Jiu, they would have died. But what did that have to do with this?
The old man smiled and flicked his horsetail whisk and said in a warm voice: “Life and death are determined by Heaven, but some people have changed their lives against the will of Heaven. It is because of this that many anomalies have been born.”
His voice paused and he looked at him, then said: “Do you know why I am here?” The little guy shook his head in a daze and the old man smiled: “This is because the both of you are fated to become this taoist priest’s disciples.”
“The relationship between mentor and disciples is a strange relationship, one born through the changes of Heaven. The two of you have a predestined fate with me, but your fates with your parents are short-lived. Therefore, it is I who have come here today and saved you from danger, not your relatives.”
“Do you understand what I have just said?” The old man asked with a smile.
The little guy seemed to understand the general idea of it, and he asked: “Will I be able to see my parents and my niece in the future?”
“If you are fated, you will meet again.”
Upon hearing this, Little Feng Ye lowered his head and thought for a moment, when he saw Sunny was still unconscious, he asked: “So Grandpa Immortal wants to accept Sunny and I as your disciples? Why did you call yourself a toaist priest, Grandpa Immortal? Is a taoist priest a monk? I don’t want to shave my head.”
“Hahahaha…”
When he heard the child’s words, the old man chuckled cheerfully: “Let’s go! Follow me and you will know!” As soon as he had spoken, he turned and stepped onto the flying dish.
When he saw this, Little Feng Ye bit his lips and hesitated, then he followed him and stepped onto the flying dish. As soon as he had stepped onto the flying dish, it rose up instantly and submerged into the clouds…
A day later, Feng Jiu and the others had followed the secret tunnel and arrived at the town where the two children had been staying in. After some investigation, they confirmed that the two children had indeed been staying there.
They followed the clues and searched and enquired. After they found out that they had been kidnapped and sold into the slave market by human traffickers but managed to escape, they searched the nearby routes and boundaries of the town. What they hadn’t expected was to find the torn clothes and shoes in the small forest, as well as blood stains on the ground.
When they found these, the Feng Guards were all heavy hearted as the clues had ended here and they had to send a letter to Feng Jiu to ask her to come here to see it in person.
In addition to Feng Jiu, Feng Xiao and the others had also come…
