The Diary Of Jianren
Chapter 26 - Start Storytelling!
In the next few moments we kept quiet. None of us opened the conversation. I purposely did this so that he could calm down first. Once the situation gets better, I'll start talking.
I watched the man closely. It turned out that the aura I had previously seen was not from the man, but from a long sword in his hand. However, that aura was seen to have fused with the man being the same source.
“Since when did you hold that sword?”
I started talking to him, trying to get closer to him.
“Since my father died.”
“I'm sorry.”
The mood became quiet. I wanted to continue this conversation, but I felt like he wanted to tell me something first.
“Do you want to hear my story?”
“Are you sure you told a story with a stranger?”
“Hahaha, after all my life is not long. So, why beware of strange strangers like you?”
“Your body looks healthy, why do you think your life is not long?”
The man was silent at my question. Actually I already know the answer, but I was curious about the answer that came out of his mouth.
“Do you want to kill yourself?”
Again the man remained silent. I could only exhale as I said, “Began telling a friend..”.
“Friends, yes?”
I just silently heard his words, there seems to be a separate wound from the word 'friend'.
“My mother died giving birth to me. My father took care of me alone. He is the greatest father to me.”
The man began to tell the story even though his face was facing the other direction. I didn't pay attention to his attitude, but he was sad.
‘People who could even surpass the three great families in Karta City? interesting.’
I smiled at the man's story. I really don't know his background in the 1st world simulation. I just know he's a loyal and cheerful man.
“However, for some reason he didn't bring out his entire ability. My father said he can only make me enough. But, can't make me soar.”
“Then, at the time of his death. Dad said something to me. That was the last request from him.”
“Grow the Xu Family, use this sword to slash your enemies. Remember, when your strength is not enough, then do not provoke too much attention. Your father's enemies are everywhere, you must remain careful my son.”
“After saying all that my father died.”.
The man cried in silence, he looked down at the ground so that no one would see him cry.
“Your father seems to leave an implied message.”
I feel like the man's father is not a simple person. At the end of his life he even left a terrible sword to his son. I don't know what this man's father has been through.
“I know. My father is from the Xu Family. He had an enemy that might still be looking for him to this day. Maybe that's also the reason my father didn't bring out all his abilities. Then, this sword is also unusual.”
“Good conclusion. So, you're thinking of committing suicide to get rid of this problem? you don't want to raise the Xu Family anymore? How about your father's request?”
“I know! i know!”
He shouted in response to my question, he sounded not strong with the hope given to his parents.
“I have a girl childhood friend. She is the woman who has always accompanied me to this day. Actually I want to marry her after graduating high school. But..”
He continued to tell stories. After telling her about her parents, she told me about her childhood sweetheart. I already feel the story of his childhood sweetheart will go on sadly again.
