The Lightning Driver
Chapters. 271. Young Patriarch
The moment the Boat Ship arrived at the Spiritual Water City, Gou Long instantly rushed out of the Ship, Hauri had already re-entered into the form of a sword tattoo, whereas Eira had also entered into Gou Long's robe.
The city was indeed very crowded, just as Patriarch Pan explained, Northern Region martial artists flocked to the City just to raise the power of Spiritual Awareness.
Gou Long who got off the Boat immediately shot to the center of the crowd, where the place of the people who provided the service of pointers, faster to enter the place it will save more time spent in the North area.
He was very interested in this spiritual water, moreover his spiritual awareness was rarely practiced.
Moving among the crowd, his hands felt someone holding suddenly. Gou Long turned around and facing towards the person who was holding it, he saw it was the figure of an old man, with graceful gestures, the manners of an old house attendant/the old servant who was already very elegant and experienced.
The old man's eyes looked teary, staring at Gou Long for a very long time.
“Sorry, Uncle knows me?” asked Gou Long politely.
The hand that shook violently, lifted up and gently rubbed Gou Long's cheeks, the maid was like she was nostalgic for her old acquaintance.
Stammered he said, “T-Young Master, only now you are back, this is somehow how many years passed, the great sir misses you so much, he was very sick these few years, he was very sick, exposed to toxins that until now no one has been able to cure.” The eyes that were filled with water, looked bright and pitiful from the old servant.
“Sorry Uncle! What does Uncle mean? Maybe Uncle misrecognized people.” Gou Long said softly, while brushing off the old hand that was still stroking his cheek.
The housekeeper wanted to answer Gou Long's words, but his intention was stopped when two young people came. Both of them clenched their hands in front of their chests, “Pardon our old servant Sir, even though our old servant looks like a fifty-year-old, but in fact, it is, he is now almost one hundred and ten years old,” said the young man, explaining the conditions of their old servant.
Meanwhile, the young man, after clenching his hands in front of his chest, facing the old servant, pulled him a little further away from Gou Long and his sister, whispered softly to the housekeeper, “Kakek Man! Did you misidentify anyone again? Ing-ing guess, Grandpa misses Uncle Han again, so it's wrong to recognize people again right?”
“...” The old man did not reply, he continued to stare at Gou Long's face, old and familiar.
Looking at the two young people, Gou Long immediately recognized the two of them, “This world is very narrow, only two days ago I met you, today we meet again, today we meet again, this is a soul mate that is set in the sky,” he said, smiling little.
Embossed a sense of familiarity and wanted to make friends with the two of them in Gou Long's heart, “As far as this old uncle, forget it, I didn't put it in my heart,” he continued while clenching his hands on his chest and facing towards the old man.
A step ahead, Gou Long saw the girl who greeted herself with Ing-ing whispering with the man she called Grandpa Man.
“Older uncle need not apologize! Related to the introduction, Junior is indeed intending to get acquainted with Senior and these two peers.” Gou Long smiled knot, he continued, “Before Junior also had no time to get acquainted with these two peers.”
The young man and the girl who had been paid the Boat fee by Gou Long, felt ashamed because she had not had time to ask the name of this young man in front of them.
Representing his little sister, “I Gou Chen, this is my cousin's sister, Gou Ing-ing and this is Grandpa Man Kiang, our Clan housekeeper.” The young man introduced them all to Gou Long.
“Ah!..” surprised, then smile sumringah, “This is really a matchmaker that is set sky,” said Gou Long, he continued, “I also surnamed Gou, my name is Gou Long.”
Every strand of words that Gou Long spoke also brought shock to the hearts of the three people, moreover, Grandpa Man. He looked at Gou Long sparkling, “Paras your face reminded this old man of someone,” muttered Grandpa Man.
Not wanting the opportunity to just disappear, Grandpa Man again asked Gou Long, “Young man! can this old man know your father's name? to be honest, from the very beginning we met, when Grandpa pulled your hand earlier, it was because everything from you was very similar to the person that this old man had always taken care of first.”.
“How to walk, the look on your face, the way you smile, all very similar..” Grandpa Man looked sad as he recalled the figure.
Gou Chen and Gou Ing-ing became very interested, the gazes of the eyes of the two of them were no less enthusiastic when compared to Grandfather Man, the, there was a hint of hope that Gou Long had never imagined as well in their gazes.
Yep! it was the hope of the many years of searching that the Gou Clan had conducted in this Northern area. the search for the figure of the Young Patriarch of the Gou Clan who had run away from the Clan since twenty-three years ago.
Gou Long himself, getting such a question, he looks sad, but held back as much as possible, “Haaaah!” after a long sigh, he said, “As for these two Junior parents, Both of them have died since nine years ago, it is not good to talk about the people who have died, either, but if it's just a name, Junior does not mind to tell Grandpa..”.
“Dad named Gou Han, while Mom named Su Lan.” Gou Long ended his words, he was bowed with his mouth seen pouting.
Grandfather Man, Gou Chen and Gou Ing-ing heard the words from Gou Long, feeling like there was a ferocious lightning bolt grabbing their heads. Years of searching, when a speck of hope had arisen, but the news they had obtained was only a form of grief.
Nevertheless, this matter was still better, at least the descendants of the young Patriarch were before them at the moment.
Slowly the eyes of Grandpa Man, increasingly filled with tears, then his tears broke, “A-your father, a-I m-treat him like my own son,” stammered he said, , “S - You are truly a grandson to me.”
weak from sadness, Grandpa Man's hand moved again this time gently stroking Gou Long's head.
