Chapter 580
Chui Yim dug a deep hole where he stood and buried the old man.
He then walked to the carriage, now sunken in the snow, and pulled it out. Opening the window revealed a sleeping adult man.
How did he manage to fall asleep facing such a situation? Chui Yim watched him speechlessly.
As if sensing Chui Yim’s gaze, the man jumped up and opened his eyes slowly, meeting Chui Yim’s gaze curiously. “Uncle, who are you?”
Chui Yim was at a loss for words. Uncle? He looks almost thirty and he’s addressing me as Uncle?
However, Chui Yim noticed the man had an incredibly clear gaze. It was said that eyes are the windows to the soul, and cultivators in particular could see a person’s character through their eyes. The man's eyes were as clear as those of a child, without a trace of worldly contamination.
“Does he have an intellectual disability?” It suddenly came to Chui Yim’s mind. Chui Yim would have believed this man was a kid just from his gaze if he didn’t see his mature appearance!
“Uncle, have you seen my father?” The man blinked his eyes at Chui Yim and pouted. “Little Hoi is hungry.”
This made Chui Yim’s head hurt, and he immediately took out a huge bun from his Divine Bracelet of Five Elements. “Uncle has food.”
The man’s eyes lit up.
In Heaven’s Pillar City’s Chung Clan, two elderly men were sitting in the living room, enjoying hot tea.
“Jung Sin is indeed a heroine; she’s fearless and even invited my son for a mission. Brother Chung must be pleased to have a daughter like her.”
Clan Leader Chung Kin Shing caressed his white beard and laughed. “Brother Cheung, she’s nowhere near Yim Wang. He’s young and talented, already in the three-chambered state and in possession of a powerful self-created gliphility, Glorious Arrow, which the world knows about the moment it’s shot out.”
“He’s indeed a talented boy.” Clan Leader Cheung Pak laughed loudly. “Oh yeah, it’s time for Chung Jung Sin to consider her marriage, right?” Cheung Pak mentioned all of a sudden.
“Hehe.” Chung Kin Shing was no idiot. He only chuckled and continued drinking tea.
These jade slips were passed down from the Chung Clan ancestors, and they were connected to a wisp of soul of each member of the clan. There were two names lit up at the end of one slip – Chung Kin Shing and Chung Jung Sin. However, the light of Chung Jung Sin’s name could be seen fading rapidly, dimming at the end.
“No no no no no!” Chung Kin Shing screamed, shattering everything around him as he was unable to control his energliph.
Cheung Pak was badly shocked. He was also a capable three-chambered glipher and immediately activated energliph to protect himself. “Brother Chung! What...?”
“My Little Sin... Little Sin... has died!” Chung Kin Shing looked up, his eyes bright red as he stammered.
“How can that be?” Cheung Pak was badly shocked. At the same time, a blue bird came flying over to Cheung Pak. “Little Wang...”
His legs turned to jelly when he read the note.
Chung Kin Shing felt that his brain was in a mess. He couldn’t understand what happened, as the old farmer was only in the one-chambered state; it was impossible he could hurt them! Not to mention that they had Cheung Yim Wang, a three-chambered glipher, following them! Even if Cheung Yim Wang had only just broken through, there wasn’t much in the surroundings of the city that could take their lives.
The only possibility was that they came across an elite who similarly had his eyes on the Nether Flame Jade and killed them after robbing the jade!
Chung Kin Shing hated himself for being so stupid – for allowing his precious daughter to chase after the old man like that. He stood up abruptly like a ferocious beast that was ready to attack. “Where does that old Farmer Siu live?”
“Fallen Leaves Village, to the west...” the servant replied while trembling.
Chung Kin Shing immediately got into action, while Cheung Pak on the other side followed, his face turning pale. “Brother Chung, let me follow. Little Wang has died too, and I need to know why.”
Chung Kin Shing nodded his head; the both of them were now in the same boat. With that, they turned into rays of white light and went west.
Chui Yim also buried Farmer Siu’s hardy horse for him. Currently, he was sitting othe carriage that had half sunken into the snow, trying his best to explain to the man that his father had already traveled to the legendary heavens to meet his mother.
Siu Hoi, who had the heart of a child, was extremely happy to hear it. “That’s great. I’ve watched Daddy crying while holding onto that blue jade, he must have missed Mummy a lot.”
