Chapter 574
Chui Yim was present and watched the scene quietly.
Hung Ching Yeung was right; he was a special case. No one knew how, but his body had become one with the blood poison after trying to fight it.
Hung Ching Sun received the familiar yet foreign touch. “Elder Brother, why did you ignore me for cultivation all these years? Aren’t we brothers?” Suddenly, Hung Ching Sun asked.
This was something he did not have an answer to. Hung Ching Sun always believed that it was because his brother was so talented that he thought of his younger brother as a burden, thus he went into seclusion in the Heavenly Silver Waterfall so that he could see him less often and be less annoyed. However, when he heard that Hung Ching Yeung nearly killed Kam Chin Kee out of anger on his behalf and wanted to kill Chui Yim for being unable to come up with a cure, it was as if the elder brother that doted on him in the past stood in front of him once again.
“It’s been a long time since you addressed me as Elder brother.” Hung Ching Yeung smiled.
“Siu Sun, do you remember when we sneaked into the peak of the waterfall as kids?”
Hung Ching Sun looked up into Hung Ching Yeung’s eyes as if they had returned to their childhood.
Hung Ching Yeung pulled his younger brother to the peak while the latter excitedly pointed to the east side. “Elder Brother, I heard that there’s a vast ocean to the east!
“And there’s a desert in the west that looks like a sea of gold from afar! Can you believe it!?
“Oh, and it’s always snowing in the north...”
Hung Ching Yeung smiled as he listened to Hung Ching Sun without a word.
Hung Ching Sun looked at him in all seriousness, which was cute. “Elder Brother, I’m going to travel the world and see all the wonders of the earth!”
“Alright!” Hung Ching Yeung laughed, while Hung Ching Sun stood on a boulder with his arms open wide like a huge bird that was about to soar into the air.
“The strongest Hung Clan disciple of every generation has to be the clan leader.” Hung Ching Yeung chuckled. “How is Younger Brother going to travel the world if you have to be the clan leader? The clan leader can only stay and guard the city.
“You’re a great talent that improves rapidly, unlike me. I’m stupid, so I could only go into seclusion and try my best to catch up.”
Hung Ching Sun had his head lowered, tears flowing down his cheeks. He always thought that Hung Ching Yeung focused on cultivating and distanced himself because Hung Ching Yeung looked down on him. Now, he realised it was all because of his childish joke.
“Brother does not have much time left, so all I can do is help Siu Sun walk the right path as much as possible.
“Shut your eyes.”
Hung Ching Yeung’s headband shattered and his hair danced in the wind, activated by the scary energliph. Everyone that came to send Hung Ching Yeung off was left speechless.
Sobbing could be heard ringing across the area. There was nothing to be embarrassed about since it conveyed the teen’s pain of losing a loved one.
Their silence was the best respect for the late genius.
The Cloud Palace boys returned to Man Fai’s residence. There were two bamboo chairs outside of the house, Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee occupying one each quietly.
This trip to Great Wisdom City had a huge impact on them, be it the feud of the Hung Clan and the Wai Clan or the brotherly love of the Hung brothers. It was suffocating to them.
“I say,” Chui Yim spoke up suddenly after a long silence. “Why did the attendants commit suicide with Wai Chung Yin?”
“Erm... They might have been convinced? Nobody is a waterfall attendant willingly, and they might have enough reasons to view the Hung Clan as their enemy too.”
“But not enough to die, right?”
“Maybe to activate some mechanism? After their deaths, the silver waterfall turned into the blood waterfall.”
“Oh yeah, that makes sense. And...”
“And?”
“If I were to leave the world in the future, would you get revenge for me?”
“No doubt.”
“What if the opponent is too powerful for you?”
“I’ll still take revenge, but after years of cultivation.”
“Mm, I like that answer.”
The duo exchanged glances and gentle smiles.
“I suddenly feel like drinking!”
“I’ve already prepared dishes to go with it!” Lam Ming Sum ran out and spoke.
The duo was stunned, and they looked at each other before bursting out in laughter, the unhappiness in the air disappearing.
