To Be Celestial's Emperor II
What's up with Liu?
Patriarch Zhen then took Zhen Yuan in with their elders leaving the guard still scared to death. Bald Kun and Shu Lian also followed Zhen Yuan, although they still looked young but their calmness exceeded that of the elders.
Arriving at the main hall, Patriarch Zhen summoned all the core members of the Zhen family. The call that was so sudden made many people ask questions and suspect something big had happened.
It was not until 10 minutes, all the members of the Zhen family were present inside the main hall. Although it had become the top family in the Jade Fish province, but the core members of the Zhen family only numbered 300. But even though they were much smaller than the rest of the family, in fact the strength of each person was equal to the elders in the other families.
In the center of the hall, 10 elders had stood respectfully while Grand Elder Zhen Cong stood behind Patriarch Zhen. In front of them were 3 figures of youths standing gallantly. Interestingly, all the members of the Zhen family recognized one of them who was none other than the phenomenal figure of Zhen Yuan.
“Young master Zhen Yuan has returned! Very happy news!”
“For god's sake, young master is still alive!”
“The ancestors definitely made a great virtue in their lives”
The entire family exclaimed happily when they saw the young master. The four of them kneeled down to pay their high respects. Outsiders would probably think that the highest figure in the family was Zhen Shi, but everyone always considered Zhen Yuan to be the most high and respected figure, especially for the nuclear family.
As they all kowtowed, a middle-aged woman in her long blue dress entered the hall. His annoyed face looked at Zhen Shi, “My husband, what are you calling all of us all so suddenly? Don't you know if I'm cooking for the ancestors? This has all been disrupted and we cannot offer it to the ancestors, whether the ancestors will protect Zhen Yuan out there or not” the change in tone can be heard from annoyance to sadness.
Zhen Yuan could not bear to hear it, he turned around and looked at the middle-aged woman who was none other than Yuan, his mother. “Mother...” says Zhen Yuan slowly.
Yuan's heart trembled violently, he quickly turned his head towards the source of the voice. Her cry instantly broke when she saw the figure that called her mother. “My boy!” Yuan ran to hug his son, and Zhen Yuan ran to hug his mother.
“Bu, I'm sorry that Zhen Yuan has always made mom and dad worried” Zhen Yuan said in his mother's arms.
“You can't talk like that. All this time you've been protecting us and your whole family from harm. You have no fault at all in me, your father or even the Zhen” family Yuan replied as he sobbed happily hugging his son.
“We salute Elder” Patriarch Zhen Shi lead, he would like to pay his respects. Given the identity of the two was extremely high, he was a little surprised to see Zhen Yuan being able to familiarize the 2 legendary figures.
But before Zhen Shi and Yuan saluted them, the two immediately stopped him.
“Uncle... Aunt... What are you doing? We don't deserve the respect of you” Shu Lian said.
“True dad, you guys don't have to do it. The two of them are my good friends in the sect so just think of them as Liu.” Zhen Yuan added. He then realized that only Liu was not in the room.
“Dad, where's Liu?” ask Zhen Yuan.
But then the expressions of all of them changed when Zhen Yuan's question came out. Zhen Yuan soon learns that something wrong has been going on for several years since he left the Zhen family.
“Daddy, what really happened?” zhen Yuan asked once more.
“Calm down first, we'll explain it well. You should be able to calm your mind and emotions first” Yuan came and embraced the child.
“Mother.. What happened to Liu?” Zhen Yuan's heart grew even more worried. Aside from his Father and Mother, Liu was probably the most guarded person Zhen Yuan had in his life this time around. He had considered Liu as his own brother.
“Young master... Forgive us.” As Yuan and Zhen Shi were silently unable to answer Zhen Yuan's question, an elder then advanced and took over. He then explained that when Zhen Yuan managed to enter the Energetic Medicine sect, Liu had become very active in training.
“Master Liu only occasionally visited the family residence for a few months, he spent all his time in the forest practicing. Until then a year ago, Liu came with a corpse from Old Aunt. Back then we were shocked and saddened by the death of the old aunt, but we had not had time to greet her, a black and cruel aura emanating from Liu.”'s body
Zhen Yuan raised his eyebrows, “Is that black aura so oppressive and murderous?” he asked with worry.
