ch 355 – Convinced to Move; Misunderstandings and Broken Heart (5)
After hearing his recounting, Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned and asked, perplexed, “Eleventh Elder, then why didn’t you just come to Qing’an directly? Were you worry that my father would turn you away?”
“Of course not!” Cheng Yu shook his head and said, “I have a pretty good idea what kind of a person Cheng Biyuan is. And that is exactly why I didn’t want to turn to him. I knew for a fact that if I ever show up at the Cheng’s, First Elder and the housemaster would come up with all sorts of ways to force me to plot against you. I don’t want to be a pawn of theirs; nor do I want them to control us for the rest of our lives. For that, I am willing to give up my live!”
Toward the end, Cheng Yu’s eyes was filled unadulterated hatred. The kind of hatred that stemmed from his family being slaughtered almost made him lost his mind.
Hearing his words, Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded subtly. This Eleventh Elder was a nice man with positive character and has his own set of principles. If the asks of him exceeded his bottom line, he’d rather die than to comply. And that was clearly what was going on.
Perhaps he was right, but that was certainly cruelty for his family!
“Eleventh Elder, no matter what, you should return with me!”
“No, I will not go. If I go to Qing’an now, everything that I have done up to this point would be meaningless. Whether you are inviting me, or they are trying to force my hands, I shall not go!” said Cheng Yu in a deep voice.
“Wrong! You should come with us! You must come with us!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him directly and asked, “Eleventh Elder, I understand what is going through your mind. And I very much respect that. I only have one question for you – do you want to avenge your family?”
“Yes! Of course! Even if it will cost me my life, I still want to slaughter the First Elder!” shouted Cheng Yu at the top of his lungs. Hatred filled his red eyes.
“Good then. And that’s exactly why you must go with us to Qing’an Province. If you come with us to Qing’an Province, you will have the opportunity to avenge your family. Don’t you worry, they will not be able to control you. And as long as you want to avenge your family, we will back you all the way!”
Her voice was decisive and her tone serious.
Cheng Yu, who was finally beginning to calm down a little was just now noticing that Cheng Xiao Xiao was already a martial spiritualist He was shocked. If he remembered it correctly, she wasn’t even cultivating when she left Emperor City. It has only been a few years and she was already a martial spiritualist? That certainly was abnormally fast!
What he didn’t know was that Cheng Xiao Xiao has only been cultivating for about a year; if he was to know that, he eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.
Seeing him that way, Cheng Xiao Xiao had a pretty good idea what was going through his mind. She smiled slightly and said, “Eleventh Elder, my father is now a martial king. Think about it, was it really no hope of us avenging your family? Our Cheng’s now is not the same Cheng’s back then, there’s not much the Emperor City Cheng’s could do to us.”
“Martial king?” Cheng Yu paused and his eyes bulged out. He asked incredulously, “You mean Cheng Biyuan is now a martial king?”
“Exactly what I meant!” nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao. She looked at him and said, “Eleventh Elder, you are already at apex martial spiritualist. You can breakthrough any minute. If you come with us, I can help you become a martial king right away. You still think they could easily control you then?”
“Martial king!”
