The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 267 - Spirit Slayer II
"What the fuck?" Nan Ran snorted in disbelief, "You mean, briefly your teacher ventured to slaughter other spirit users. And one of his hunts is Young Master?"
"really so. It's actually just an estimate. But I don't know where to explain it from. Before leaving on that day precisely after Zhang Ziyi's death, Master said that a human disaster had been born. And when I saw the Young Master controlling a large number of spirits to finish off the people from the Four Surveillance Units using the Spirit-Controlling Book"
"You already know he's your teacher's enemy and you still insist on following him?!" Nan Ran's voice rose, echoing throughout the room. Lan Zhuxian clenched his hands.
"Well, I understand what the situation is." Shui flicked a finger, seemingly only his calmest self as the three humans were busy fighting over his mouth.
"You're between two tough choices. Between following your teacher or following your master. Didn't you?"
"That's right, Mr. Shui."
Called so again, Shui scratched the back of his non-itchy head. "Look, what is your teacher basically to the point of pursuing an inter-imperial spirit user? Was he paid by the Emperor?"
"That's the problem, sir. If this was all about duty, it wouldn't have been possible for Master to go that far."
The three waited for Lan Zhuxian to tell him, there was nothing that could be done for a while. Especially in a precarious situation like this, they did not even know where Xin Chen was.
"Teacher Yuhao once had a child. When he was seven years old, he loved him very much, even I always bought him sweet food. She was a submissive little girl, therefore Master loved her very much. But ... One day, one spirit user fought with an ordinary swordsman. The fight took place in the garden of the teacher's house."
"I regret not coming that day. An innocent child becomes a victim of accidental combat. He died because one of the spirits uncontrollably consumed his soul. After the death of his son Master Yuhao hated the half-dead spirit user, from who was originally a swordsman, he became the only spell creator devoted to facing spirits."
Still continuing the story, Lan Zhuxian was much more moody than before.
"Since that day he never wanted to see me. He constantly tried everything for revenge. And it was glimpsed by Emperor Yin. His potential to wipe out the tribulation in our land began to sound so vast that countless spirit users came to kill him. And that day arrived, where he slaughtered all the spirit users without any remnant. But he knew the grudge in his heart would never go away as much as anything he killed."
"'A human disaster has been born. I will chase after him without leaving a single breath.' That's what he said last time, and he left me for years. Without news and letters. I was desperate then, wanting to chase after him. Maybe that time just wanted to say sorry for not taking care of his son, and also thank you for accepting me as his disciple."
Just through the gaze, Lan Zhuxian's eyes seemed to imply a deep sadness. He was left the only person he trusted. Shui wanted to make sure of something.
"Who are you going to side with? If your teacher has reappeared and you are in a situation where you face him directly. What are you gonna do? Oppose him or follow him?"
No answer after that.
Tian Xi patted Lan Zhuxian on the shoulder, "Everyone has faced a difficult choice. Remember one thing. Make sure that choice is your heart's desire. Because you not only decide it but you also live it. Don't when you're halfway through regretting it."
"I want to continue to be by Master Yuhao's side."
Lan Zhuxian looked at Tian Xi. Next to him Nan Ran had already put on a face of disbelief
"Unfortunately I'm going to stay here. I trusted that guy."
"I will not leave Young Master as difficult as the situation may be. He gave me a place when I had no one. I am grateful to meet someone like him. Maybe for teacher he is a disaster, but for me he is a real hero. I will continue to be by his side until the moment where everyone sees his kindness."
"So, it just makes me panic." Nan Ran embraced his friend. "We'll stay on the same track. As difficult as it will be, first send a warning to Young Master. This crow might still be able to return to the place where he was."
As they were talking, Tian Xi fell silent at his place. Lan Zhuxian got to such an extent for the sake of the person he considered valuable. While he threw away such people and just wanted to destroy them. His heart trembled, but the young man decided not to think about it anymore. Having a headquarters like this was one of his greatest achievements in a lifetime. He wanted to continue to be there, making the Four Surveillance Units one of the largest groups in the entire world.
"You why else, Short-spoken?" sahut Nan Ran realized something was wrong with his friend that one.
"What if we're confronted one-on-one with someone we don't want to meet?"
Tian Xi subconsciously said so, realizing that Nan Ran, Shui and Lan Zhuxian were focusing on him in an oddity.
"Forgetit." He cleared his throat, throwing off his gaze awkwardly. But that thought did not immediately leave his mind. I don't know about his clan, his friends there and his college. Suddenly it flashed in his head.
"It was too far away to doubt your decision that day. You're a man, aren't you?" Nan Ran slightly punched Tian Xi in the chest with his fist.
"Try to hold fast to your words and never look back again, short coward."
The mockery was not pummeled by Tian Xi, he replied to Nan Ran's punch twice.
"Your chatter trumps women, Foolish High."
As the two men argued Lan Zhuxian pulled out a small paper scroll. He tried to write all the things about Yuhao's spell. Suddenly Lan Zhuxian thought of an important matter, he looked at the three people worriedly.
"Teacher Yuhao once said that he went in the most remote place. And this bird should be fast enough to get here for at least a day and a half. Bad weather is raging in the North, that means ... Young Master was in that rubbed-off place. The place where Master Yuhao is."
