Chapter 684: Chapter 685: Another Skull Fragnt
"Grandpa treated
exceptionally well. Back at the Ye Family, only Grandpa treated
like family and didn’t particularly spoil Ye Weijun either. In my view, Grandpa was my true kin, my family."
Tang Qiulu understood Su Changfeng’s words; he was saying this to let her know that he was determined to do it.
"Will it be dangerous?" Tang Qiulu asked, a bit worried.
"It’s possible to get hit by a car walking down the street, so yes, there’s so danger, but everything is under my control." Su Changfeng joked with a smile, refraining from letting Tang Qiulu know about the true nature of Purgatory Prison, as she would definitely be worried if she knew.
Tang Qiulu smiled and said, "I trust you. In this world, nothing can really stop you."
"Let’s hope so." Su Changfeng replied with a sigh.
Just then, soone appeared at the door of the villa. When Su Changfeng saw who it was, he said to Tang Qiulu, "Set another place at the table for dinner."
Saying this, Su Changfeng quickly walked to the entrance of the villa. Huo Tian’s arrival did not surprise him at all; he didn’t ponder how Huo Tian found him here because he knew Huo Tian’s capabilities — finding out soone’s whereabouts was especially easy for Huo Tian.
"Grandpa Huo, are you leaving?" Su Changfeng asked.
Huo Tian nodded and said, "I’ve been away from Beijing for too long. It’s ti to go back. What’s your plan?"
Su Changfeng glanced at Tang Qiulu in the vegetable garden and calmly said, "I promised to live with her for two weeks. After that, I’ll wrap things up in Jiang City, and then... I’ll head to Purgatory Prison!"
Before asking Su Changfeng this question, Huo Tian had anticipated his response because he had watched Su Changfeng grow up and understood him better than anyone else in the Ye Family.
"People have a very limited understanding of Purgatory Prison. It’s unimaginably dangerous, with less than a 1% chance of surviving and coming out." Huo Tian said earnestly.
"Grandpa Huotian, before I killed Ye Luochen, what were my odds of winning?" Su Changfeng asked with a smile.
"No chance at all," Huo Tian replied.
Su Changfeng spread his hands and said, "Then this 1% chance looks like a good thing to . At least there’s still so hope, right?"
These words made Huo Tian chuckle wryly. Anyone else facing a 1% probability might choose to give up, but Su Changfeng actually saw it as a good thing! This was also the unique character of Su Changfeng, different from ordinary people, which allowed him to reach where he was with his capabilities.
"And? Have you thought about what she’ll do if you don’t co back?" Huo Tian glanced at Tang Qiulu, unaware of the circumstances, in the garden.
This was the most difficult issue Su Changfeng faced, but he had carefully thought it over and made a decision in recent days.
"If I can’t return, I’ll have to make it up to her in my next life. However, in this life, if I don’t verify whether Grandpa is alive, I would lead a particularly painful existence. Grandpa is very important to ." Su Changfeng said.
Huo Tian sighed heavily, saying, "I’ll do my best to take care of her. You must be careful. Purgatory is a place where you can enter but not leave easily; it must have its unique challenges. No matter what, rember to put life first."
"Grandpa Huo, rest assured. I’m still young, and I don’t want to die at this age. Even if it’s a living hell, I’ll find a way to escape." Su Changfeng said.
"Take this; I obtained it 20 years ago when many were competing for it, though I still don’t know what it’s for. Try to figure it out in your spare ti." Huo Tian took out a finely-crafted black box, the contents of which were unknown.
Seeing Huo Tian about to leave, Su Changfeng quickly said, "Grandpa Huo, stay for lunch before you go. It’s almost noon."
"I’ve been away from Beijing for a long ti; so people are getting restless. If I don’t return, Ji Hong’s situation might beco dangerous." Huo Tian said, turning away and waving to Su Changfeng.
"Grandpa Huo, I will never let you down." Su Changfeng said.
Huo Tian gradually walked away until his figure couldn’t be seen, and only then did Su Changfeng return to the villa.
"Why did he leave?" Tang Qiulu asked, puzzled.
"Grandpa Huo needs to hurry back to Beijing." Su Changfeng explained.
Tang Qiulu nodded and didn’t ask further.
After lunch, the two sat in the living room watching TV. When Su Changfeng went to the bathroom, he took out the black box Huo Tian had given him, inside was a strangely-shaped piece of jade with peculiar patterns.
When Su Changfeng first saw it, he felt an indescribable familiarity. As he searched his mory, he was shocked to find that this thing was essentially not jade but rather resembled the skull fragnt he had at ho!
How could Huo Tian have this object!
This seed unlikely; was it possible that the skull he casually obtained really held so unknown secret? If not, why would Huo Tian keep this thing for 20 years?
Su Changfeng swallowed, ready to ponder the possibilities, when Tang Qiulu knocked on the door from outside.
He put away the box and opened the door with a composed expression, asking Tang Qiulu, "There should be a bathroom upstairs, right?"
"I’m not here for that. It’s already this ti; shouldn’t we do sothing?" Tang Qiulu raised her eyebrow.
After a week, Tang Qiulu grew more straightforward with this matter, showing no trace of shyness.
Of course, Su Changfeng was the sa; he directly carried Tang Qiulu back to the room.
The days passed quickly, and on the last day of the two weeks, Tang Qiulu packed her things but still felt a bit reluctant to leave.
"These two weeks have been the happiest, most blissful days of my life. Who knew they would pass by so quickly." Tang Qiulu said, full of loss. Though it had been two weeks, it felt like only two days to her.
"Why don’t we buy this place? We can co here for a few days when we have ti in the future. What do you think?" Su Changfeng suggested.
"Good idea, but what if the owner doesn’t want to sell?" Tang Qiulu asked.
"Don’t worry, just let Zhu Lie handle it; he’ll definitely find a way." Su Changfeng said.
