The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 33 - Farewell Greetings
"Chen'er, wake. It's morning." Xin Chen woke up from his sleep as his mother's voice rang out, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Ren Yuan's sweet smile.
"Ah... This lazy boy..." He heard his father's sister grumbling at the door. "Look at the people who have exhausted the story material in the living room and he is still carving a lake on his bed!" Xin Xia added. It was indeed his habit of pestering Xin Chen's life.
Xin Chen laughed wryly, Xin Xia's joke was already too stale for him. The boy wiped his mouth and got up to take a shower. Ren Yuan himself could only shake his head looking at Xin Xia. "He must be very tired. Let's just wait for him in the dining room."
Xin Xia followed Ren Yuan from behind, this morning unexpectedly important guests came to their house. Not only Yong Tao and the other two Imperial Pillars came, but also the head of the noble family was also eager to welcome this good news.
Because after all since the day that Xin Zhan was poisoned, this bad news about Xin Zhan's condition had spread throughout without exception. The news grew even more heated when word emerged that Xin Chen had fled the same day. It makes an impression like running away from his mistakes.
Yong Tao impatiently wanted to see the figure of the little boy who became the mastermind and savior, when he saw from the hallway of the child's house was walking in a daze. Still trying to collect his life. Heavy sleepiness he felt as he passed through the hallways of the house lazily.
The banquet was simple, once in a while their gaze fell on Xin Chen, the boy was too unconcerned about the surroundings. Rather than having the heads of the noble families busy discussing about her, Xin Chen's eyeballs focused out the window.
"The chen? What's up?" Ren Yuan disperse Xin Chen's daydream.
"Mothers... I want to talk to Mom and Dad. Just the three of us, okay?"
The seventh Imperial Pillar that was a woman covered her face with a fan, looking heavy-hearted upon hearing the request.
"Is there one thing you don't want to discuss with us?"
Xin Chen looked down. "Dad, Mother. I'm waiting in my room."
The woman was astonished to see Xin Chen's behavior, completely disrespecting him as the seventh Imperial Pillar. He has a good name. Rarely do people act indifferent to him.
Xin Fai lowered her head slightly, feeling Xin Chen's deeds were a bit excessive. "I'm sorry for my son, but it's good to appreciate his wish for now. I think he wants to talk about things that are not good to talk about in public."
Although still somewhat annoyed he could do nothing, the banquet became stiffer than usual. While the host was not there Yong Tao talked a lot about the Empire's situation.
Xin Chen waited for his two parents in the room, as the door of the room opened his head raised. Get ready to say something. Several times his lips were restrained, heavy to utter his current desire.
"Dad, Mom, this afternoon maybe I'll be away from home for a long time."
Ren Yuan was obviously surprised not to mess around, not even a day to go home Xin Chen again made him worried. Like when she almost lost Xin Zhan yesterday.
"Chen'er, can't... You're safer here. Your brother's safe anyway. It only took a few days until his body recovered completely."
"Mom, I want to be stronger. I'm gonna find myself. I promise I'll go home" Xin Chen pleaded. He begged his mother.
"Chen, do you love your mother?" Ren Yuan said softly, his tone felt trembling in Xin Chen's ears.
"It is precisely because I love you that I want to be strong..." Xin Chen turned to his father who was just staring sadly. Can't hide his worry about his second son.
Xin Chen took a deep breath. "For I can be stronger and protect everyone. Protecting Father, Mother, Zhan Gege and everyone with my powers."
Xin Chen realized this world was too dangerous, there were so many obstacles that he had to go through ahead. "I'm not a person like Zhan Gege, I can't learn a sword as good as him. Want me to have the greatest teacher teach me though, I won't get stronger."
Xin Chen continued on. "My only real teacher is nature. I learned a lot of things on the outside, learned to make mistakes and correct them my way. I thought that way I'd get stronger."
Long speechless Xin Fai finally let out a voice, he fully understood what Xin Chen wanted. A freedom in which no one comments on his mistakes, a world in which he moves without being dictated by the speech of people. In the past, he was like that too. Hence Xin Fai was able to agree to Xin Chen's request despite knowing the risks were great.
"You can go if that's what you want."
"Darling, are you sure?" Ren Yuan looked at him sayu.
"We can't ban him, if you don't give him permission he'll leave by himself."
Xin Chen scratched the back of his neck that was not itchy, feeling that the plan of the two had already been read first by the father. Xin Fai chuckled, hugging her child tightly.
"Whenever you want to come back, you can go home. We're waiting for you."
"What's your own father?"
Xin Fai actually did not want to say this matter afraid that Xin Chen would also become restless, but he understood that Xin Chen might already know more than himself.
"There were many problems arising in the Empire. I'll finish them one by one."
"Including Liu Fengying?"
Xin Fai's expression changed drastically when she heard the name of the number one criminal called by her own son.
"Liu Fengying?" reworked. Assuming Xin Chen to be the answer, Xin Chen couldn't possibly lie to him.
"Where did you see him?" Xin Fai started interrogating, but Xin Chen refused to tell.
"I'll take care of this as much as I can, Dad. If someday I find out something about her, I'll tell you."
Xin Chen hugged his mother for a while, for a moment the boy raised his hand out an extremely beautiful earring.
"I found this in the shop I've been to, I think it's similar to the Ren Family emblem."
Ren Yuan received the earrings in confusion, indeed recently his older brother, Ren Su said that his favorite earrings just disappeared from the room. This certainly makes the woman very sad when telling it.
"Where did you get this?"
Xin Chen smiled slightly. "I'll go first." After picking up her bag and taking a step Xin Chen ran around in the hallway of the house, taking the time to look at her brother for a while and then left the house again. Leaving the most comfortable and safe place, welcoming the savage outside world. Xin Chen bet lives on this.
"Liu Fengying and the Valley of the Gods, what exactly were they planning to do?"
