Chaos Systems
Chapters. 98 - Back to Like It Was

"Mu Chen Xiao! Look at me!" Zhao Bingyan's snap that instantly caught Mu Chen Xiao's attention was instantly diverted towards him.

"E-he-he-he, uh,... Master Zhao is already a big boy, huh? That's fast." Mu Chen Xiao replied awkwardly as he was going back to talking to Zhao Bingyan who was annoying and not innocent like yesterday.

"I'm serious Mu Chen Xiao! What happened yesterday and a few days ago?" Zhao Bingyan asked with a cold face that indicated that he really needed an answer right now.

”Does that include strangling my neck to the point of getting me almost killed?” inner Mu Chen Xiao recalled after Zhao Bingyan asked about him. "... Nothing happened." Mu Chen Xiao replied a moment later. "Only the memory of Master Zhao returned at the age of five for a few days."

Zhao Bingyan speechlessly looked at him with no expression.

"Is nothing really happening? Have I tried to kill you repeatedly?" Zhao Bingyan asked which made Mu Chen Xiao stunned to hear him.

Mu Chen Xiao replied a moment later, "Nothing. All this time everything's fine."

"Then, what about Shang Ren? Didn't he take you and also take me somewhere?"

"Perhaps, because he wanted to protect the master teacher. Because back then, the state of the Hua Jian Sect with the Yin Lang Sect was heating up."

Zhao Bingyan was shocked after she heard the answer. He did not know at all that their Sect was hostile to the Yin Lang sect for a reason that was also unknown to him.

"What's really going on? Why did that happen?" Zhao Bingyan asked after she was surprised to hear it.

”I think he already knows. But, when the massacre happened, wasn't Zhao Bingyan in a critical period? Is that understandable?” inner Mu Chen Xiao thought about it. "... The entire Jin family, was killed by a woman named Ye Xing. But, since the Yin Lang Sect had already accused Master Zhao of doing so, they had come here to declare war. That's all I know and after, I don't know why me and the master teacher could be in the Qunya mountains." Mu Chen Xiao.

Zhao Bingyan was silent for a moment and then she stood back up directly behind him.

"Who broke your right leg?" Zhao Bingyan asked back after she learned of the wound a moment before.

Mu Chen Xiao was stunned and immediately looked at his injured right leg. "Ahhhhh,... It's not a big deal. Rat— I mean Teacher Hao is looking for who has made me like this." Mu Chen Xiao replied after he almost mentioned the old mouse in his sentence.

"Hm, um,... Then Xiao'er rest. I'll find someone else to explain." Said Zhao Bingyan who immediately walked out of the room to the other room in her residence.

When Zhao Bingyan had just walked out of the room with the size back to how it was, it was a great shock to all the Sect disciples who were currently there. Their faces were in complete disbelief as they had seen their great Master have returned instead of becoming a child like yesterday.

"Great teacher! You've returned to how you were?!" Said a disciple who came to him with several other disciples.

Zhao Bingyan was speechless expressionlessly staring at the few disciples who were approaching her. "Is Master Yuan in his house?" Zhao Bingyan asked who ignored the previous disciple's question.

"Before, we've seen the Rongye River. He was looking for someone who had injured Mu Chen Xiao and disturbed Hao Shu's composure while teaching." Answer one of the students in front of him.

"What's going on over there? Was that person the one who broke Mu Chen Xiao's right leg?" Zhao Bingyan asked seriously.

"Yes. That person used the summoning array to take Mu Chen Xiao away somewhere."

”He is just an ordinary person but, why are there so many people who want him? Was it because Shang Ren did it to get what he wanted?” the inner Zhao Bingyan who looked was biting her lips.

"What's the matter, Master Zhao? Why did Master's expression change?" Ask a student who is watching.

Zhao Bingyan rubbed the space between her eyebrows and replied, "It's okay. You guys go back to training. I will see your improvement after meeting Master Yuan." He said as he walked away from his students.

Meanwhile, Mu Chen Xiao who was still inside his room, was only speechless staring at the outer window which featured some disciples who were practicing swords there.

"Huh,... Was the sword given to them by their families? There was no way the Sect would give them swords for free. Surely, it was a gift from their family." Mu Chen Xiao muttered who was watching them. ".... Ehh? Does that mean I won't get the sword because I don't have any family?!"

He felt struck by lightning because he realized that he did not have a family. And if they said that there was still one member of his family, that person must be Mu Chou Ran whose existence was still mysterious.

"If Mu Chou Ran shows up and he confesses that I am his son then, end my history. Could-can I be expelled from the Sect and will soon be killed by the disciples here! Moreover, the people in the Yin Lang Sect also deeply hated the Mu family. I was really destined to die sooner because of living in a family that was so hated!"

Not long after he spoke to himself, a disciple who had previously been standing in front of the room suddenly warned someone to be careful while running in their place. And then, after he heard the voice of the disciple, the door that was before him instantly opened and showed a young man who was now standing there.

"Mu Chen Xiao! You're okay, aren't you?" Asked the young man while walking towards him and it was true that this young man was Zhang Xiuzhen who had defended himself to immediately go to Xuanzhou city.

Mu Chen Xiao who was still in his bed, immediately put on a shocked expression after he saw Zhang Xiuzhen had been standing next to him.

"eeee, that,... Your Honour. Why did His Majesty come here? Is this just a coincidence?" Asked Mu Chen Xiao who was staring in surprise at him.

"A few days ago, I heard that the Yin Lang Sect was saying war against you guys so, I forced myself to immediately go to this place." Zhang Xiuzhen replied with a panicked face while paying attention to Mu Chen Xiao's current physical condition.

"Then? Is that proof that Your Majesty is very concerned about our situation?" Asked Mu Chen Xiao back.

Zhang Xiuzhen was stunned and replied a moment later, "Since I have a huge debt to you as well as elder Hao Shu, then I deserve all of this including worrying about your circumstances."

”.... What a good child.” Inner Mu Chen Xiao who felt salute to the reason that Zhang Xiuzhen gave her.

Not long after they spoke, the sound of the door opening loudly reappeared then, they heard the voice of a little girl who said,

"Xiao Xiao's! Yu'er came to see you!"

The girl shouted and immediately pounced on Mu Chen Xiao to make him fall from his bed because of his incredible safety.

”White hair and a voice that was very similar to a small bell, this person must be Bai Qing Yu. Why does she always haunt me like this?” inner Mu Chen Xiao after he saw Bai Qing Yu who was currently overlapping him.

"Ehh? Mu Chen Xiao, are you okay?" Zhang Xiuzhen asked who looked panicked after he saw Mu Chen Xiao slamming hard from the top of his bed because Bai Qing Yu had deliberately pounced on him.
