After that unexpected incident, on that very day Lady Fei decided to return to her residence. He talked about something with Mr. Gu and said goodbye to him. San Tian just stared at them from a distance, now that his mother's heart had been shattered.
Lady Fei told some servants to worry about all her things. While Master Gu did not take care of it all at all, he was standing right in the meeting room of the lotus pond. Staring at the blooming lotuses showing off their beautiful colors was enough to make his heart happy.
Someone called him from behind.
"Dad,"
Master Gu turned his head, what he found was his own adopted son. San Tian, stand in front of there with a doubtful look.
Master Gu gave his smile, telling San Tian to come closer. After his son felt close enough to him, Master Gu immediately hugged him tightly.
"San Tian, it's already big huh. We haven't seen each other in a long time, how are you?"
San Tian was silent, he was a little nervous. Then he tried to answer, "All right, dad, what about you?".
Master Gu loosened his embrace then looked San Tian in the eyes and snickered.
" Look right? I've been fine all this time~".
San Tian who saw the childish smile of his father became even more unsure. Surely Mr. Gu has a lot of problems, even more so he has problems with his mother.
"Dad, do you have a problem with mom?"
Master Gu's smile vanished, he no longer looked San Tian in the eye. He turned to glance at the group of lotuses floating on the water, ignoring the face of his son who was holding back the grief.
"Dad..mom would be so sad if you hated her, could your relationship not be repaired?"
Master Gu shook his head, his eyes closed for a moment then looked back at San Tian.
"San Tian, listen to me. Your mother and I have no problems. We just want to make peace and live each other's lives."
San Tian's eyes were teary-eyed. The almond bead almost shed a tear if only he did not hold it. San Tian let out a heavy sigh.
"Dad, can I be what I like from now on?"
Master Gu tilted his head in surprise, "Why?".
San Tian said, "I don't want to be a business man. I. want to be someone who is an expert in medicine. Mother forbade me and told me to continue with your business."
Mr. Gu's breathing was heavy when he heard that. He did not expect once again that Lady Fei was too restrictive on her son, San Tian on the field that he did not like.
Master Gu patted San Tian on the shoulder and smiled warmly.
"Just be calm, choose your own path as long as it's good for you in the future."
San Tian's eyes began to show a twinkle of his happiness again. He hugged Mr. Gu tightly, as a sign of their separation since San Tian would choose to stay with his mother.
"Thank you, dad."
"See what you just did Zhi Yuo? I hope you don't regret it after this!" Yan Yan rebuked her cynically.
Zhi Yuo stared at the cloudy morning scene from the bedroom window. He glanced at Yan Yan then stuck out his tongue with a prick. Yan Yan Yan responded that with a raised hand was about to hit Zhi Yuo.
Xie Jia's development was very good, the heat had already dropped completely. But he was not conscious at all. Indeed, when a person's body is exposed to toxins the effect will last long enough.
Zhi Yuo looked back at the view outside the window. Yan Yan Yan's room is indeed the best, from here looks a lot of people pacing around out there. But there was one thing that astonished him to death.
Why is it so peaceful here?.
In his old days, demons roamed. They caused damage and caused unrest from the citizens. Thus were formed sects formed by cultivators and their main purpose was one. That is, exterminating the demons to their roots.
Zhi Yuo was sure, this was not completely clean yet. As he remembered, the demon king of the underworld he had not defeated yet and should have been the demon king still immortal until now. But why is it so peaceful here without any attacks from strange creatures?.
"Yan Yan," Zhi Yuo called out.
Yan Yan turned his head, "What's the matter?".
" Have there ever been any weirdness here?"
Yan Yan Yan raised next to his brows when he heard the question from Zhi Yuo's mouth.
"What kind of weirdness?" Yan Yan asked back.
Zhi Yuo sighed, irritated by Yan Yan's slow thinking. Then he explained.
"It's weird like a strange creature invading the residence, or a demon wandering at night. Did that ever happen here?".
Yan Yan Yan's brows furrowed when he heard it. He was trying to remember something while he lived here.
" As I recall, there's no such thing. It's only in old fairy tales, what's wrong with your mind!".
Zhi Yuo fell silent after hearing all of that. Yan Yan said so, that here is fine, peaceful, without any demonic attack.
How could? What time was he born?!.
Zhi Yuo snorted, "That's an ancestral legend, that demons came out of hell and threatened the world. Hence the many cultivators who worked together to spend them,"
Zhi Yuo was a bit displeased when himself mentioned that it was a 'Legenda'. What really happened really happened. He died fighting the demon king and was reborn in a different age. This era is not too developed rapidly from its former times.
Most likely those demons had not completely exhausted. And it is possible that the demon king of the underworld resurrected many demons to carry out his wish, which is to rule the world.
The state of the cultivation world is increasingly threatened.
Yan Yan thought again, then he found something and pointed lightly out the window.
"You mean those cultivators?"
Zhi Yuo looked at where Yan Yan pointed. And it's headed somewhere far enough. From the residence, you can see a row of hills. And among the hills, there is the highest peak.
Although it was covered in fog, but it was still clearly visible. A tall and magnificent building stood there. Big and tall as if to touch the clouds.
Zhi Yuo furrowed his brows, "What is that?".
"Said it was a gathering of cultivators. Demon exterminator sect, the people here call it that. They guarded this region with their cultivation science. But well. I don't believe in that, there's no such thing as a demon."
After hearing that, Zhi Yuo rolled her eyes sharply towards Yan Yan who was looking indifferent at everything they were talking about.
"Devil, monster, ghost, it's all mere fairy tales."
A crossroads of veins sprung up on Zhi Yuo's forehead.
"Hey, kid! If you knew our struggle against the demons and you saw their form firsthand, you might not have lived to this old age! ".
Zhi Yuo exhaled slowly, trying to control the emotions.
" I'm going,"
Yan Yan turned his head quickly when Zhi Yuo said that.
"What's? Where's where?"
"Yes, wandering, I will find a new life. I'm going to get out of this area and live the life I want.
Yan Yan Yan's teeth clashed against each other. He approached Zhi Yuo, pulling his collar forcibly.
"Damn it! You think life out there is good?! Living the life you want, it's the same as plunging yourself into a well! Why are you leaving?! Why don't you stay with us here?!"
Yan Yan Yan's hand trembled, his finger still clutching the collar of Zhi Yuo's shirt. Zhi Yuo was silent for a moment, Yan Yan was about to cry, but he endured it all.
Zhi Yuo chuckled, "I know you care about me."
When he heard that, Yan Yan immediately put on a cold face and slammed Zhi Yuo onto the floor.
"Snubrate.."
Zhi Yuo grimaced as he stroked her waist, "It hurts stupid!".
Zhi Yuo got up, still feeling the pain in his waist.
" Hey, I didn't really leave here, I'll visit next time, " said Zhi Yuo, and that wasn't responded by Yan Yan.
Yan Yan Yan turned his face, "Red!"
Then Yan Yan moved away from her, and it made Zhi Yuo chuckle with anxiety when she saw him.
"Excuse all your stuff! He said he was leaving!" - Yan Yan.
"What did I bring here?" - Zhi Yuo.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gu,"
Zhi Yuo looked down politely when he met Mr. Gu, the mood of the big business man did not seem to improve. Seen from his face.
Master Gu turned his head towards her, gave a smile and returned his greeting.
"What do you need?"
Zhi Yuo exhaled, trying to calm down while speaking.
"It looks like my job here is done, I'm going to resign from here,"
Master Gu was slightly surprised to hear that, "Why all of a sudden?"
Zhi Yuo looked down, "I want to travel, looking for a new life. I also have a task to actually run,"
After hearing that, Master Gu nodded slowly. He understood, he did not forbid Zhi Yuo to leave here. So he reviewed the smile on his lips when Zhi Yuo had permission to leave.
"Well, what do you need? Maybe as a wage while working here."
Zhi Yuo's eyes instantly glared at the pleasure. It's time! All this time his hard work paid off!.
"Well, I'm not asking for anything big. I'm just asking for a salary while working here, that's enough." Zhi Yuo said confidently.
Master Gu froze a little.
"You mean money?"
"Yes!"
Mr. Gu breathed out his breath, he was fixed on the spot. He had to give it to Zhi Yuo, enough money for the boy. Usually, the waiter who goes out of work will be given a wage not too much, but also bought enough food. Servers who work here are also given wages directly through food, shelter, and facilities. They don't take a penny.
In Zhi Yuo's current position, he should have received clothing, food, as well as other items. He will also be given money, although not too much.
But this brat chose money completely! With a lot of money!.
"Huft.. alright," Mr. Gu responded.
Master Gu did not mind that. This was also his gratitude for being saved by Zhi Yuo. The boy was clever and clever, the thing he did was completely out of logic.
Who else will reveal this. About him who almost died by his own wife. Suddenly an angel and a demon like Zhi Yuo came to save her life.
So he should thank you for what the boy did.
Zhi Yuo laughed in satisfaction after receiving something in his hand. Big bag of money! Shiny gold coins are accommodated there!.
"Ah. money.."
Yan Yan lazyly clucked when he saw her.
"When do you want to go anyway?!"
Zhi Yuo looked at Yan Yan sharply, "Don't try to chase me away! I'm still busy looking at this money!"
"That's Mr. Gu's money, you idiot! After all you almost made him bankrupt!" - Yan Yan.
"If this is the case, it won't go bankrupt. " - Zhi Yuo's.
"If on the way later I find the temple, I will immediately pray Mr. Gu so that he always lives a long and healthy life always. You see? how good I~"
Yan Yan clenched his fists right then and there. Zhi Yuo's annoying face really made him rise in blood.
"Fuckin' shit..!"
"Sir Yuo!"
They both looked at it at the same time. Xie Jia stood there, with teary eyes she ran towards Zhi Yuo.
"x-xies.." Zhi Yuo had just stood up to catch Xie Jia, but the little girl jumped up and hugged him tightly.
"You! Don't tell me you want to go!" Xie Jia cried, tears just escaped her eyes.
Zhi Yuo wavered, Xie Jia's embrace made it hard to breathe.
"That's not it. Listen to me first, "Zhi Yuo loosened Xie Jia's embrace and patted the little girl's shoulder.
"I'm really going, but I'm not going completely. I'll come back here another time," Zhi Yuo developed her warm smile, and it calmed Xie Jia's heart enough.
"You.. when do you come back..?" Xie Jia sobbed, her hands rubbing away the falling tears.
"I dare not promise when I will return. But I'm definitely going to come back here,"
"Actually Brother Yuo is going where..?"
Zhi Yuo was instantly confused as to what to answer. He turned to look at Yan Yan, giving him a signalling look.
Then looked back at Xie Jia with a gentle smile, "I will return to my hometown. Maybe there's some of my relatives there, I'll visit them,"
"Don't cry, it'll be ugly.." Zhi Yuo rubbed the cheeks of Xie Jia, wiping away every tear path that was imprinted.
"If I come back, I'll bring you a lot of sweets,"
Instantly Xie Jia who heard the word 'sweetness' was instantly overjoyed.
"really?! Many sweets?!"
Zhi Yuo felt his heartbeat instantly stop. Sweetmeats, lots of sweets.
"Chang Yu's.."
It was just like his promise to Chang Yu that he had denied before. And that's what brought him down.
"Y-yeah, that's a lot of sweets. I'll bring you a lot of famous sweets,"
Xie Jia nodded happily, and it made Zhi Yuo return nostalgic to his former time. Their smiles are similar.
Zhi Yuo stroked Xie Jia's black mane. It's a farewell impression, isn't it?.
"Then take me to the gate,"
Here the journey will begin. Zhi Yuo had taken off the maid uniform available at Master Gu's residence. He was wearing new clothes that were more tidy. The dark blue-colored clothes with black patterns were bought by Mr. Gu directly. It is said to be a wage other than the money given.
Zhi Yuo set his foot on the dry ground. He breathed out, touching the outside world that would take him on his new journey.
Looked back. Xie Jia, Yan Yan, Master Gu, also the other servants waved at him from the gate there.
"Sister Yuo! Keep your promise yes!!" Xie Jia shouted with a wide smile.
Yan Yan Yan gave her a sweet smile. Master Gu also waved at him.
Zhi Yuo smiled, in the middle of the wind he returned the wave of their hands all as a sign of farewell. He turned to leave them, to fulfill his promise.
Grabbing the moon sword and defeating the demon king of the underworld. Blessing the people around him.
It is a promise that cannot be broken.
Zhi Yuo had set his intentions now. He will avenge all his grudges and take back what he has taken.
The real journey is just about to begin.
