Chapter 116 Oath
...
In the storm, the Audi sped up to the top of the mountain.
In front of the villa on the top of the mountain, there was a sea of umbrellas.
Under the rain, headed by the Old Master Dongcheng Hanguang, Dongcheng Wudi, Thunder God, Uncle An, and the servants inside the villa all ca out to greet Bai Qingqian, who had not returned for more than ten years.
Bai Qingqian looked at this scene quietly.
“Aunt, you are so popular that the Old Master ca out to et you in person. Do you think he will hold an umbrella for you?”
The Audi slowly stopped in front of the villa.
Bai Qingqian opened the car door and said calmly with indifferent eyes, “Why do you want others to hold an umbrella for you? Don’t we have umbrellas?”
The young man who was driving their car had already left the driver’s seat with an umbrella.
Dongcheng Hanguang, who had already walked over with an umbrella, paused subconsciously, and the others also stopped.
They didn’t stop because of fear, but of the impressive young man coming down from the driver’s seat.
This was a real strong man.
Nearly two ters tall, his burly and straight body was almost out of the ordinary category of fat and thin. Muscles filled up his body and made him look extrely powerful. He held an umbrella when he opened the door with a calm expression on his face, but a stream of power ca out from his body constantly.
This man did not give out any imposing manner. The only thing that could make people think of when they saw him was power. It was as pure as if he could tear a tiger or leopard apart. This power ignored the realms and had nothing to do with fighting capacity. His burly and stout body stood there casually, which gave people a suffocating oppressive feeling.
“Xu Chu?”
Dongcheng Wudi, who ca with Dongcheng Hanguang, raised his eyebrows and looked surprised.
“Is this the first disciple of Jade Pool?”
Dongcheng Hanguang looked at the young man in front of him who could even make him feel the intense pressure with appreciation.
Jade Pool’s first disciple Xu Chu, also called as Giant God, was born with Thunder Vein and of great force. His strength was at the peak of the Fire-flaming Realm, but he was able to fight with a person in the Thunder-shocking Realm. He was worthy of being called a valiant general.
Xu Chu, who was already 30 years old this year, had been staying in Jade Pool for many years. He was not a public officer and rarely went down the mountain. He was unknown to the outside world. Dongcheng Hanguang heard this mighty and talented person from his son. Now the Old Master Dongcheng Hanguang felt that the young man’s reputation was well-deserved when he felt the surging power coming out from his body.
However, why did the first disciple of Jade Pool appear beside Bai Qingqian and drive for her?
“Youngest martial uncle.”
“Uncle-in-law.”
Xu Chu, who held an umbrella, glanced at Dongcheng Wudi and said hello to him with Bai Youming who just got off the car.
“You... you!”
Dongcheng Wudi frowned. When he just began to speak, in his sight, he saw Bai Qingqian stepped down from the car in a black suit, standing under the umbrella in the hands of Xu Chu.
Elegant and charming.
In a split second, as she got off the car, the originally gloomy sky seed to brighten.
Dongcheng Wudi imdiately decided not to speak. He looked at the Old Master beside him and called him dad quietly.
Every ti after holding a eting in Youzhou, he would drop in the ho for a day and then go to the border camp. It was purely coincidental that it was the sa ti for Qingqian to return ho. Dongcheng Wudi was very surprised and wanted to use this opportunity to ease the relationship between his wife and father.
Dongcheng Hanguang had long withdrawn his gaze from Xu Chu and landed it on Bai Qingqian.
He took a step forward, grabbing his umbrella. The fearless old man suddenly felt a little timid and nervous at this mont.
The expressions in his eyes beca more and more complicated. Instead of being calm, he felt a bit guilty and helpless.
Bai Qingqian stood quietly and looked at Dongcheng Hanguang. She was expressionless and did not make any sound.
“You are back.”
Dongcheng Hanguang said, pretending to be natural.
Bai Qingqian nodded and said directly, “I want to ask for one thing.”
“Alright.”
Dongcheng Hanguang smiled and nodded without asking anything. He said kindly, “Let’s get in the house first. It’s still cold outside.”
“No need.”
Bai Qingqian said calmly, “Just a few words, and I’ll leave after I finish.”
Dongcheng Hanguang and Dongcheng Wudi’s expressions changed at the sa ti.
She went up to the mountain yet refused to enter and did not give any explanation.
This was enough to show that even if Bai Qingqian took the initiative to go up the mountain, it was not because she wanted to do so. She had to co for so reason.
She hadn’t co back for more than ten years, but now she didn’t want to enter the door even if she ca back.
It could not be interpreted as a knot in her heart. It was resentnt, the most naked, resolute and helpless resentnt.
The intense look of pain in Dongcheng Hanguang’s eyes flashed away. He opened his mouth and muttered to himself, “Let’s get in first, it’s cold outside.”
At this mont, the old man was no longer the forr tycoon in the Decision Making Committee who could rebuke heaven and earth, nor the uncompromising old patriarch of the Dongcheng Clan. He was the most common old man, guilty, helpless and painful, but he did not know how to be forgiven.
Perhaps, he could not be forgiven.
“I could have gotten in.”
The corners of Bai Qingqian’s mouth gently lifted up. She was still so noble and graceful, but her smile showed so chilling coldness. “A week ago.”
Dongcheng Hanguang’s mouth twitched. He stood listlessly, even his hand that held the umbrella trembled slightly.
A week ago.
That was exactly the ti when Li Tianlan ca here.
“You picked him up from Huating. Has anyone notified of that?”
“Where were you when he was seriously injured in Huating?”
“Where were you when he was targeted at the Sky Academy?”
“Yes, you are all on the mountain, standing so high and looking so far. The scenery is very good, isn’t it?”
Each of her words pricked their hearts.
Bai Qingqian’s expression beca more and more cold, with a deep hatred.
“Qingqian...”
Dongcheng Wudi opened his mouth with a wry smile and just managed to call her na, but Bai Qingqian had already interrupted him directly, “Shut up!”
She looked at Dongcheng Wudi coldly, then looked at Dongcheng Hanguang, with a scornful face. “The family of Gods of Massacre? The military magnate? How can you be regarded as n?”
“Ahem, ahem...”
In the wind and rain, her body trembled slightly and she coughed violently.
“Let’s talk inside.”
Dongcheng Hanguang continued to speak, in a weak voice, almost begging.
Bai Qingqian’s smiling face was cold. She took a deep breath and said calmly, “When I ca out from here over ten years ago, I told myself that I’m still the daughter-in-law of the Dongcheng Clan, and I would do my duty and obligation. My ashes could also be buried with Wudi, but in my lifeti, as long as I’m alive, I would never enter this door. If I disobey this oath, I would like to be struck to death by a bolt of lightning!”
Resolute, piercing, and no room for discussion.
When her remark was spoken out, everyone’s face changed dramatically.
Bai Youming looked at her aunt in disbelief. It was not until this mont that she discovered that the secret hidden by her aunt and Dongcheng Clan over the years seed to be more serious than she had imagined.
She would rather be struck by lightning than entering the door!
How desperate did a woman have to be to make this kind of oath?
Thunder was rolling across the sky.
Bai Qingqian stepped forward and walked directly out of the umbrella in Xu Chu’s hand.
The cold rain fell on her body, wetting her body and pale cheeks.
She looked up at the gloomy sky.
The sound of thunder was ringing across the sky.
Bai Qingqian suddenly began to laugh. Her smile was sad and brilliant. She looked at Dongcheng Hanguang in front of her and said slowly, “It thundered. Are you looking forward to my death so much?”
Dongcheng Hanguang staggered back one step. His face was pale and painful. “I’m sorry. Dongcheng Clan disappointed you.”
Bai Qingqian smiled trembly, and suddenly said calmly, “The Dongcheng Clan owes a lot for many years, don’t you think so, Old Master?”
Dongcheng Hanguang nodded with a sad face.
“Alright.”
Bai Qingqian said, “You owe so many years, and you can pay it back today. Xu Chu will enter the Sky Academy as a student. Isn’t the Sky Academy short of an instructor of Actual Combat Lesson now? I think Youming is very suitable.”
Dongcheng Wudi, whose heart was as bitter as his father’s, frowned and subconsciously said, “Qingqian, do you want to...”
“It’s not like I want that.”
Bai Qingqian gave him a glimpse and said coldly, “It’s what I’m doing! I have to do it!”
“I know you love Tianlan. That’s my son-in-law, I know what to do, and now you...”
“That is your son-in-law! He’s just your son-in-law, not mine!”
Bai Qingqian’s cold gaze fell directly on Dongcheng Wudi’s body.
Dongcheng Wudi’s heart suddenly sank.
The last ti he saw his wife’s eyes like this, she hadn’t said a word to him for several years. This ti...
“I will do my best!”
Dongcheng Hanguang finally spoke. His voice was hoarse.
Bai Qingqian nodded her head and turned back directly, getting in the car.
Bai Youming and Xu Chu got on the car at the sa ti.
When the car turned around and left, the only female provincial governor in Zhongzhou State dropped the window again and said calmly, “When Tianlan married my daughter, I will co back to attend the wedding. This mountain is such an eyesore. I don’t like it.”
The Audi went down the mountain in the wind and rain, drifting away.
Dongcheng Hanguang stood with an umbrella and did not move for a long ti.
“Dad...”
Dongcheng Wudi let out a cry, the marshal of Zhongzhou State was so ruthless when he faced the enemies, but he was a complete ss when dealing with his own family issues, looking nothing like a God of Massacre.
“Needless to say.”
Dongcheng Hanguang took a deep breath and said calmly, “You can do it according to what Qingqian said. Xu Chu’s issue is easy to handle. You have to fight for the position of head of the Actual Combat Lesson for the girl of the Bai family.”
Dongcheng Wudi nodded, then shook his head with a wry smile.
This was the most difficult thing to do.
Zhuang Huayang’s situation was declining. The composition of this year’s Sky Academy showed the ambition of Kunlun City. Liu Xiuwei and Yang ngjiang were both arranged in there by Kunlun City’s force, so that they could take control of the Sky Academy after Zhuang Huayang retired. But now Liu Xiuwei was dead, and Yang ngjiang disappeared mysteriously. Kunlun City’s power in the Sky Academy could be said to have suffered heavy losses.
In the following period of ti, the personnel changes at the Sky Academy were bound to be the focus of the Special Warfare System.
After Tribulation took Liu Xiuwei’s position, he was still not used to it. Now he was very likely to further take charge of the Political Departnt. However, the Wang family of Beihai must have to take the position of deputy director of teaching left by Tribulation. This was a part of the deal.
As for the position of Yang ngjiang, if Kunlun City let it go again, Gu Yunxia’s power would be greatly damaged and his right to speak in the Sky Academy would only be weaker.
How could it be easy to take over Yang ngjiang’s position from Kunlun City?
A telephone bell rang suddenly.
Dongcheng Wudi picked up the phone and listened to it. His eyes narrowed imdiately. He pondered and whispered, “Dad, it’s Little Five. The Master of Samsara Palace suddenly gave Kunlun City a letter of challenge. On June 15, she will fight with Gu Xingyun in the Sky Academy. They will not stop until one of them dies.”
“Sigh City has also taken actions. Situ Cangyue has made an appointnt to fight with Gu Qianchuan. The location has not been decided yet, but it is also a life-and-death battle!”
Little Five was Dongcheng Wuchou, who ranked five in this generation. He was now the minister of the second departnt of General Staff Headquarters, naly the legendary Military Intelligence Departnt. Therefore, he got the most accurate news naturally at the fastest speed.
Dongcheng Hanguang, who was a little at a loss, was distracted for a mont. Then he instinctively narrowed his eyes.
“The issue of Bai Youming is an opportunity.”
He was silent for a mont, then slowly said.
Dongcheng Wudi was startled. He understood what Dongcheng Hanguang said, but he could not believe it. “Dad, as the God of War in Zhongzhou State, doesn’t Gu Xingyun have the courage to fight with the Master of Samsara Palace?”
“Certainly, he has the courage to fight with her. But does he dare to fight her to the death? Does Zhongzhou State dare?”
Dongcheng Hanguang did not wait for Dongcheng Wudi’s answer, and said again, “They dare not!”
