C39 – No Sign of Life
On the summit of the mountain behind Loong’an Temple, Teng Yu was kneeling in front of a new grave.
“Imperial Mother, rest in peace. Your son will definitely be fine …”
Those who owe you a debt, your son will repay it, those who hurt you, your son will repay it tenfold or even a hundredfold …
Your son acted on his own and buried you together with Uncle Mo. With him taking care of you, your son is relieved … “In the next life, if you are reincarnated into an ordinary family, you will be able to live a peaceful and peaceful life …”
Teng Yu inserted the gravestone that he had finished carving into the ground and buried it with his hands. Then, he wiped the dust off the gravestone bit by bit with his back sleeve.
“I’m afraid that I won’t be able to see you often in the future. Don’t worry, once we get our revenge, your son will definitely bring you to his side so that you can openly be worshipped by his descendants.”
A snowflake fell. Teng Yu touched the bone-chilling cold and said to himself: “I rember that you are also afraid of the cold, and probably won’t like it here. But your son can’t take you with him for the ti being.
“My son has found a very interesting person… “If I have the chance in the future, I’ll bring it to you. I’m sure you’ll like it …”
Seeing that the snowfall was getting heavier, Han Qing had no choice but to hold up his umbrella and walk over to remind her: “Master, it’s snowing.”
“Yes.” Teng Yu looked at the simple and crude graveyard, and sighed, “Mother, your son has left. The next ti I co, it will be when I get my revenge, if not your son will not have the face to co and see you.”
Han Qing helped Teng Yu up, and took out a handkerchief to wipe off the mud on his knees.
“Let’s go.” Teng Yu casually waved his hand, took one last look at the simple and crude tomb, and turned to leave.
The two of them went down the mountain, and from far away, they saw a group of officers and soldiers rush into the Loong’an Temple.
“Is the temple all set?”
“Yes, they originally wanted to follow General Mo. This subordinate thought that if an accident happened to the monks in the temple at the sa ti, it would be too eye-catching, so he persuaded them to start over, and then they decided to put aside their past and beco true family mbers, to transcend all those who had died in vain, and to pray for the Empress and General Mo as well.”
Teng Yu stood in his original position for a while, then raised his head and looked at the dark sky, and muttered: “This sin, let
carry it.”
“Your Highness …” The corner of Han Qing’s mouth twitched, but he did not say anything in the end.
If this were to happen to anyone else, it would definitely be a great cri, an evil that disregarded human life. However, if it happened to soone else’s family, the accusation would appear pale and powerless, and there wouldn’t even be a reason to accuse them.
“Let’s go. It’s ti to start.” Teng Yu took a deep breath, his fighting spirit rising as he brought Han Qing down the mountain.
Returning back to the camp, Teng Yu didn’t see any trace of Yin Xu around and asked, “Where’s Huo Tian?”
“Seventh Young Master Huo left early this morning. He said that he wanted to return ho.”
Teng Yu’s eyes dimd, the question in his mind was like a snowball rolling down a snowball. If it was really as he thought, then he had to re-evaluate this Huo Tian’s value.
“Did he go out last night?”
Han Sen poured a cup of hot tea for Teng Yu and bowed as he replied, “It shouldn’t be. When this old servant ca in early in the morning, he saw sleeping on the bed.”
“Go ask the night watchman.”
Han Sen didn’t know why he insisted on asking this question, but he still asked very efficiently, “Reporting to Your Highness, the night watchman said that he did not see Seventh Young Master go out, do you suspect …?”
“Nothing.” Teng Yu did not plan to say much more about the arrangents for the return trip.
“Your Highness, there is another matter… The man and woman from Liao County disappeared. “
“Missing?”
“Yes, and he disappeared in your tent, Your Highness.”
“Speak clearly.” Teng Yu sat up straight, listening to Han Sen’s explanation that the girl had not gone out since she entered his tent last night.
At that ti, Huo Tian was probably the only one in the tent, so this matter must definitely be related to him. This was clearly another mystery.
“There are guards outside, how did that woman get in?” Teng Yu’s face was calm, he obviously knew the answer, “One day is not as good as the day after, let’s make our move today.”
“Yes, this old servant will arrange it now.” The two exchanged a look of obscurity and then went to do their own business.
Yin Xu brought Wu Sheng back to the Huo Family Villa quickly. As soon as they entered the house, they locked themselves in their bedroom before they even had ti to eat. Just like last ti, he told Wu Sheng, “Don’t disturb
when the sky is falling down.”
The butler was a little confused as he chased after them. He could only pull Wu Sheng and asked him about what had happened along the way.
Yin Xu closed the doors and windows, and set up a sound-isolating array around the room. He then found the remaining jade stones and placed them in a box.
Last night after he ca out of the basent, he went to the back mountain and secretly dug out a few pieces of jade. Although they were of average quality and had a pitiful amount of Spiritual Qi, they could still be used.
He placed the Soul Gathering Pearl in his palm and a cold feeling ca from the center of his palm. He injected the Demonic Qi into the bead bit by bit, and slowly, a strange connection was ford between the two.
A dull pain ca from his brain as sothing in the depths of his soul shook violently. Yin Xu closed his eyes and tried to connect with the soul fragnts left behind by the original owner.
After a day and night, Yin Xu opened his eyes, and the corner of his mouth revealed a victorious smile. The black pearl in his palm turned gray, and with a forceful clench of his hand, powder was poured out of his fingers.
“Huo Tian, oh Huo Tian, should I call you stupid or stubborn?” Yin Xu thought of the original owner’s dying wish and sighed emotionally, “I’ve already been neglected to this extent, why are you still thinking about going back? However, I will fulfill your wish. “
There were no parents in Yin Xu’s mories, and he did not understand what kinship feelings were like. However, from the original owner’s mories, he could tell how strongly he felt about that desire for family love.
