PRINCE OF DRAGONS
Knowing truth

"Actually you are not our grandson Qian, we have only been nurturing you since you were a baby," Feng Feng said.

Qian was like being stung by a scorpion hearing Feng's confession, all this time he had assumed that the two old men were his grandparents.

"Grandfather must be kidding! Grandma, tell me if Grandpa's joking with me, isn't he?" ask Qian.

Yuwen just looked at Qian's face with a faint look, he himself actually did not have the heart to open everything to the Young man who had been cared for since he was a baby.

"Your grandfather isn't joking Qian," Yuwen replied with great sadness.

Qian still could not believe hearing that, she laughed as if her grandparents were pranking her, but upon seeing the seriousness on the faces of the two grandparents, Qian started to feel uneasy.

"Qian, you have to accept this truth, even if you are not our grandchild, but our affection we still give to you, and you are already our own grandchild" Yuwen said.

Qian began to fall silent, her gaze slightly changed, and her expression gradually began to look like she wanted to believe him, yet half of her still rejected him.

"Over these Seventeen years we have indeed kept this truth a secret from you, now is the time for you to know the truth Qian," Feng Feng said.

"No, this is impossible, you must be playing me."

Qian began to look shocked, she walked backwards in a limp condition until her body hit some items and fell in a sitting position.

Yuwen immediately approached Qian with concern, he saw Qian's blank look.

"Qiani!" Yuwen called out to him and Qian responded immediately.

With eyes starting to dampen, Qian looked at the two grandparents in turn, in his heart he still felt disbelief.

"If I'm not your granddaughter, then who am I, and where are my parents?" ask Qian.

"Your full name is actually Song Lin Qian, from your name you should know which family you are from Qian," Feng Feng said.

"Song Lin Qian?"

Qian thought for a moment, all this time she only knew her name was Lin Qian, yet now she only knew if her full name was Song Lin Qian.

"Unfortunately, I can't possibly be a child of the Royal family!" qian said.

Although Qian had not gone out for seventeen years, Yuwen had managed to educate him and become a young man who was not inferior to the other educated youths, he could tell all sorts of things except the names of animals.

"I know you will be surprised after knowing all this, I will tell you about how we can make you our adopted grandson," Feng Feng said.

The two of them began to tell about the beginning of their finding Qian in the river along with her mother who was then severely injured, Feng Feng also told about the news of the assault on the palace right along with the day they found Qian and her mother.

There was not a single story they had missed so Qian could understand why he was far away from the Palace, by telling the full story, Feng Feng and Yuwen hoped that Qian would be able to understand her being born into the Royal family as well as the threat that was lurking.

Qian's tears flowed after hearing Feng Feng and Yuwen's story, and what makes him very sad is the sacrifice of his mother who tried to keep himself safe even though the breath was on the edge of death.

Qian finally did not hold back her grief so strongly that she cried while clasping her hands tightly, holding her hands together, he did not expect his birth to wreak such havoc that his mother, whom he had not yet seen in the face, had to leave him, and worst of all, his mother, The newborn Qian already had enemies within his own family members.

"Ja.so, that gravestone by the river is my mother's tombstone?" ask Qian.

Feng Feng and Yuwen nodded, whereas Qian who knew if the tombstone he passed earlier this morning while going to follow Feng Feng to Honfu Village was his mother's grave.

Qian who ran away using the science of lightening her body finally arrived beside her mother's grave which had been overgrown with a lot of weeds, he immediately cleaned the tomb so that the tombstone made of ordinary river stone could be seen more clearly.

Qian fell over her head on her mother's tombstone, she was silent for a moment before she finally cried out and cried loudly to vent her sadness.

"Why! Why is all this happening to me? Mom, I'd love to meet and see your face, I used to wish that someday I would meet you, I wanted to see what your face looks like, but now..!"

Qian was no longer able to continue, while Feng Feng and Yuwen, who had just arrived, heaved a sigh of relief to see Qian in her mother's grave, but after hearing Qian's grievous grief, he said, Yuwen had no power to hold back so he and Feng Feng also shed their tears.

"For years I wanted to know where my parents were, and once I knew it, I saw you in the form of this Headstone! Why Mother, why did you give birth to me? If you hadn't given birth to me, you probably wouldn't have experienced this, and I wouldn't have suffered and been sad like this mom, you answer?" qian said, venting her emotions by asking all of that to her mother's tombstone.

Yuwen wanted to go up to him as well as calm him down, yet Feng Feng forbade him, Feng Feng wanted that Qian could pour out her heart, starting from her sadness and disappointment in front of her mother's grave, she would let Qian be like that, she said, because after he finished pouring out his heart, he will definitely feel more relieved and he will be able to talk again.

At this moment Qian was indeed very angry, upset, sad, and disappointed, all of them became one in his heart, however there were no words of swear or mockery that he made to his mother, he said, and it signified that Qian could still control herself.

It was getting dark, and without feeling Qian was there long enough, she hugged the tombstone and considered that her mother was still there as if her mother was stroking her hair affectionately.

"Qian, it's almost dark, we should go back to the house first," said Yuwen who saw Qian a little more calm after all the outpouring of her heart had been poured out on her mother's grave.

"Grandfather and grandmother just go home, tonight I will be here with mom," replied Song Lin Qian who was still hugging her mother's tombstone.

"Your mother is now calm in nature, if she sees you like this now, your mother must be very sad, because your mother fought and was willing to trade her life for your survival not to see you grieve like this" Feng Feng said.

"I know it's a cake, but let me stay here alone, I still want to be with my mother" Song Lin Qian replied.

Feng Feng and Yuwen looked at each other, the two of them finally gave up and let Qian keep hugging her mother's tombstone, but of course they certainly wouldn't leave Qian there alone so the two of them chose to remain there accompanying Qian.

Although it was already night and the reliable light was crescent moonlight, Feng Feng Feng and Yuwen were unwilling to light a fire, as it would only make the people from the Blood Sword Academy would know about it.

Qian herself was still lying down hugging her mother's tombstone, she didn't sleep at all, and over the course of a full night Qian finally began to wake up.

As it was almost morning, Feng Feng and Yuwen saw Qian who started to sit on her knees before her mother's grave then she kowtowed three times. Qian began to let go of her mother and prayed that her mother could rest in peace.

"Mother, rest in peace, I promise to avenge those who have made us this way ten times more than this, I ask for your blessing so that I am given the courage and strength to face them," Qian said as she tore her clothes and tied the cloth to her mother's tombstone.

Qian immediately got up then he turned around and walked over to Feng Feng and Yuwen who had been with him all night. "Grandpa, Grandma, thank you for taking care of me and raising me all along, even if you're not my grandparents, you're my family to me, for me," qian said which made Feng Feng and Yuwen moved to hear her.

Feng Feng immediately hugged Qian and followed by Yuwen, the three of them had truly had a perfect family.

"Qian, after knowing this truth, what are your next plans?" asked Feng Feng.

"I was planning to go to the palace and look for the people who killed my mother, but I realized it wouldn't be easy, so I will study this Book of Celestial Dragons first as I travel to add and strengthen the martial arts you taught me," Qian replied.

"That's good, but you need to remember, you don't tell everyone your real name, most likely the people who wanted to harm you first would come back to attack you after finding out that you were still alive, afraid that they were high-scientific warriors," Feng Feng said.

"Then let's go back first, let's discuss all this at home, I happen to have something of your mother's that I want to give to you" Yuwen asked.

"What is Grandma?" ask Qian.

"Your mother's hairpin, maybe later it can help you when you meet your father, plus the birthmark on your shoulder, it will further strengthen your true identity" Yuwen said.

Qian nodded then the three of them returned to the top of the mountain to pick up the relics left for Qian on his later journey, which was to be expected, although this is a journey of revenge to seek justice and find the true identity of Qian, but Qian will adventure first to improve his martial arts skills as a Swordsman.
