Fei Chen's Sword Journey
PPFC 142 - Feng Lao Condition
OPENING ARC 6 - THE BIRTH OF THE KING OF DEATH
PPFC 142 - Feng Lao Condition
The news of the great upheaval that had occurred in the Ma Empire spread rapidly as Yin Jinxia withdrew the military forces of the Yin Empire. News spread through word of mouth from the Yin Empire warriors who had been camping at the border between the Yin Empire and the Ma Empire for over a month.
Amidst the buzz of the news the one who was most surprised to hear this was Luo Rou because Fei Chen's name was no stranger and the woman was sure that there was no one named Fei Chen other than the boy she used to take care of.
“Chen is dead and the Li. is gone... Don't get carried away by the news alone, Rou.”.
Seen old man who was so thin was drinking wine with a number of jars that scattered not because of. This old grandfather was none other than Feng Lao.
Feng Lao's condition was very concerning and it made Luo Rou feel sad. Luo Rou was the most aware of how Feng Lao had behaved when he lost his son Feng Xinrui.
“Stop getting drunk and try to see reality!” Luo Rou had already restrained herself a long time ago but seeing how fragile Feng Lao had been over the past few years made the woman continue to scold Feng Lao in the hope that the old geezer was conscious.
Feng Lao was drunk and smiled bitterly, “I failed to protect anyone... My son, my two students even many of my colleagues who died for following the command of gyakah.”.
Feng Lao laughed gigglingly as he picked up another urn, “I deserve to die!” Knowing the urn he had picked up had exhausted its contents made Feng Lao slam it hard.
‘Why did everything become like this? Chen... Is it true that guy named Fei Chen is you?’ Luo Rou left Feng Lao who was drunk and looked at the sky.
When Luo Rou went out to look at the atmosphere of the Sword Valley which was now like a small village, a number of residents seemed to be crowded at the gate of the sect due to the arrival of an important figure namely Yin Jinxia.
Accompanied by Song Bei and Song Kang, Yin Jinxia came to the Sword Valley for following Fei Chen's plea.
“Mr Princess, what's the matter visiting here? Stop by our store, we make many sweet snacks.”
“Mr Princess, you are very beautiful as always.”
Yin Jinxia just waved his hand hearing the words of the Sword Valley residents. After arriving at an ancient residence belonging to Luo Rou, the beautiful girl told Song Bei and Song Kang not to follow her.
“But Princess-” Song Bei seemed hesitant and made Yin Jinxia look at the man intently.
“You're following Ayahanda's orders too much! I am stronger than you! Besides I'm not the spoiled brat I used to be!” Hearing Yin Jinxia's words made Song Bei and Song Kang lower their heads.
Seeing that Yin Jinxia sighed, “Good if you guys understand. Stay here and don't do anything weird while I'm gone.”
After giving a warning to Song Bei and Song Kang, immediately Yin Jinxia knocked on the door and before long a forty-year-old and still beautiful woman opened the door of the residence.
“Who came this early in the morning? Ah, it turns out that you are Princess Yin?” The woman who was none other than Luo Rou was shocked to see the arrival of Yin Jinxia.
Yin Jinxia smiled showing his white teeth, “Luo's old aunt did not see.”
After that the two sat on the terrace of the inn and started a small talk they discussed the matter of Yin Jinxia who was always looking for the whereabouts of Fei Chen's figure.
“If only Li was here, maybe you two would be funny rivals for fighting over Chen.” Luo Rou suddenly smiled wryly as she recalled Jia Li.
After all Jia Li was already like her biological child even though Luo Rou had never been married or had a child, as well as Fei Chen.
Seeing Luo Rou's sad expression made Yin Jinxia difficult to tell regarding Fei Chen's news. It took time for Yin Jinxia after seeing Luo Rou calm down.
Luo Rou turned her head and looked at Yin Jinxia seriously, “Good news? What is it?” Luo Rou asked out of curiosity.
“Fei Chen who met me is Fei Chen whom we have known all along. He told me that he was very happy to have been cared for by a woman like you. To him you are the substitute figure of his mother.”
Hearing that made both of Luo Rou's eyes watery, “Master Princess, don't joke! I'd be mad if you were joking!”
“Aunt Luo, does my face look like it's joking?” Yin Jinxia looked seriously at Luo Rou and made the woman cry.
“Chen..” Luo Rou felt very happy knowing Fei Chen was still alive.
“Alright Aunt Luo, I have business and it's time I go.” Yin Jinxia still remembered the task Fei Chen had given him.
Perhaps because of her feelings, Yin Jinxia followed Fei Chen's request of her.
“This fast? You'd better stay here a few days.” Luo Rou held onto Yin Jinxia's shoulder.
“No Aunt Luo. You better be prepared to welcome Fei Chen. I will go towards the Dragon Valley. There's something I need to make sure there.”
“Dragon Valley?” Luo Rou looked panicked because after all the situation in the Dragon Valley was arguably filled with chaos because it became the battleground of the Dragon Valley swordsmen and the Peach Valley.
“Aunt Luo need not worry..” Yin Jinxia smiled warmly before adding, “There was a message from Brother Fei on Grandpa Lao.
Yin Jinxia whispered something to Luo Rou before leaving the Sword Valley. Then Luo Rou came back to Feng Lao.
“What was the Princess coming here?” Feng Lao asked because he had heard the laughter of Yin Jinxia and Luo Rou even though it was only for a moment.
“That's right and he came carrying a message from Chen-” to you
Before Luo Rou finished her words, Feng Lao slammed the urn and shouted loudly.
“Whispering! You still say his name! He's gone already! And there's nothing a junk guy like me can do!”
Feng Lao was already desperate moreover his body was already on the verge of the boundary due to his crippled meridian points.
“It must have been the Princess's boob! You don't trust him so easily!”
Feng Lao clutched tightly onto his leg knees then gulped back down, while Luo Rou gave a sad expression.
“Please forgive your student who does not know your condition and thank you for elevating me as your student..” Before leaving Luo Rou added, “That's the message that Chen gave you..”.
After the door of his room was tightly shut, Feng Lao took out a wine jar as little Fei Chen's face flashed in his memory.
‘Murid will not disappoint Master.’ A Fei Chen's last words that ringed in his ear made Feng Lao shed tears.
Those were the words before Fei Chen left the Sword Valley for the Dragon Valley to join the Yin Tiger Tournament.
Feng Lao's mouth was wide open but not a single drop of wine came out from the urn. Then Feng Lao slammed the wine jar while tightly gripping his knees.
“Chen... Are you really alive, son?”
