The Endless Fight
The beliefs of elder Nuwa

Lien Hua blinked her eyes as she regained her senses, her plump eyelashes rising upwards and revealing a pair of beautiful green-colored eyeballs, it's just that even though Lien Hua's eyes were already open only darkness was always welcoming Lien Hua's days. But Lien Hua never complained despite not being able to see how the world that Lien Hua was living this life was. Lien Hua was always grateful for what Lien Hua had, even though her eyes could not see, but Lien Hua had hearing that was much more sensitive than the hearing of others.

Elder Ming Hao who felt a movement beside him immediately turned his head, "How do you feel Hua'er, do you feel anything uncomfortable?" elder Ming Hao spoke softly to Lien Hua.

After elder Yu informed him that Lien Hua was the grandson of elder Yu, elder Ming Hao and the others had already considered Lien Hua part of their family as well.

"Lien Hua is fine uncle, how is grandfather's condition?"

"Your grandfather is better too, just waiting for him to wake up from his sleep."

As Lien Hua and elder Ming Hao engaged in a light conversation, elder Yu's fingers began to slowly move. Followed by a small coughing sound coming out from the mouth of elder Yu.

"Hit, uhhuk..."

Elder Yu coughed as he held onto his painful chest, elder Yu felt a bit of difficulty as he breathed.

"Grandfather,"

Lin Hua immediately moved closer to the bed that was the resting place of elder Yu.

"Hua'er, are you okay, son?" the first thing that elder Yu asked after a few days of unconsciousness was the condition of the grandson.

"It should be Lien Hua who asked because grandfather is the one who is injured at the moment" said Lien Hua.

"Grandfather is fine, Hua'er doesn't have to worry about grandfather," elder Yu frowned then elder Yu asked, "Where, wasn't grandfather previously fighting with the black-robed demon incarnation?"

"We are in a resting place under the hill" said elder Ming Hao.

"Ah, elder Ming Hao, what about the academy? those demons came and directly attacked the academy!" elder Yu's countenance turned tense after recalling everything that had happened before elder Yu fell.

"The academy has been destroyed, the demons have managed to destroy the border seal," said elder Nuwa who had just come to see the condition of elder Yu.

"What?" elder Yu was very surprised.

"What about all the students and teachers and all the others?" elder Yu asked, clearly apprehension from the look in elder Yu's eyes.

"According to the story of envoy Jin Hui, most of the senior students and junior students managed to leave the academy with the fighters led by envoy Jin Hui" said elder Nuwa.

"But the envoy of Jin Hui said that he did not see the chief Guan Lao, did elder Yu know where my husband was?" ask elder Nuwa.

"I'm sorry," elder Yu said as he lowered his head.

"At that time I told chairman Guan Lao that the attack carried out at the academy was merely a diversion so that they could damage the border seal, Elder Guan Lao immediately shot towards the border. At that time I took over the fight of chairman Guan Lao against the incarnation of the black-robed demon, I thought that after I managed to defeat that demon I would overtake chairman Guan Lao towards the border. Who would have thought, it turned out that the black-robed demon incarnation was so strong that I was difficult to survive, not long after that Jin Hui's envoy came to help me fight against the black-robed demon incarnation. But not long after the big explosion happened and we all received the effects of the explosion, after that I don't know anything else."

"That means my husband was at the border when the explosion occurred," the elder Nuwa's defense was now destroyed already.

Elder Nuwa sat down while closing her eyes, a sudden tightness she felt when she heard what elder Yu said. For days the elder Nuwa tried to always think positively, but now the elder Nuwa could no longer think positively after knowing the reality.

If indeed the husband was on the border, no matter how strong the knowledge that the husband had would be unable to protect himself from the effects of the explosion.

Lien Hua tried to strengthen Nuwa's elder, Lien Hua said, "Auntie must be calm Lien Hua believes the chairman's uncle must be safe, in this world nothing is impossible, there's always a miracle for good people like the chairman's uncle."

"Aunty's heart also felt confident that your uncle could survive, but reality showed something else." elder Nuwa immediately wiped away the clear liquid which itself continued to flow without being ruled.

"It is better that we continue our journey to the city center immediately, we also have to make sure all the students are safe in the city center" said elder Ming Hao.

"Ming Shu and senior Yue Yin have prepared three horse carriages," said Ming Shu who had just entered the room where elder Yu was resting.

"Good, then we begin the journey, '" said elder Ming Hao.

***

Tian Zhi and his entourage arrived at the center of the city, they were all immediately greeted by the ruler of Tian Ma who already knew of the return of the child from Guan Lin. The ruler of Tian Ma was already waiting in front of the gate of the city lord's residence, the ruler of Tian Ma could breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the child fine.

"Hail father,"

"Hail your majesty."

Tian Zhi and all the entourage paid their respects to the ruler of Tian Ma.

The ruler of Tian Ma nodded then sent guards to place the desolate villagers in the refugee camps.

After the ruler of Tian Ma knew that the silent villagers would stay for a while in the city center, the Tian Ma ruler immediately told the guards to prepare a shelter for temporary shelter.

The ruler of Tian Ma also ordered the other guards to invite some healers to treat all the injured.

After all leaving the residence of the city lord, now all that was left was the ruler of Tian Ma and Tian Zhi who were still in the front yard.

"Dad, Tian Zhi has made his decision without father's permission" Tian Zhi said.

Tian Zhi felt guilty for daring to make a big decision without his father's knowledge.

"Dad knows already, Guan Lin has told me everything!" the ruler of Tian Ma patted the child's shoulder gently.

"Zhi'er is the future ruler candidate, should learn to make the most appropriate decision from now on."

"Father believes in the future that Zhi'er will become a ruler greater than father," the ruler of Tian Ma was amazed at the child, Tian Zhi did indeed grow up to be a smart young man, indeed, wise and strong too.

Now the father and son pair walked together to enter the city lord's residence while having a light conversation.

"Dad said he knew everything from Guan Lin, is Guan Lin here now?"

"Mn, Guan Lin is guarding his father in the infirmary."

"What's the chairman's uncle, why dad?"

"Your uncle is seriously injured, it's lucky that Guan Lin arrived at the right time to save your chief uncle, otherwise your chief uncle would have been gone."

"Then Tian Zhi will visit the chairman's uncle now also father,"

"Mn, I'll be there too."

The lords of Tian Ma and Tian Zhi were now walking towards the treatment room where chief Guan Lao was being treated.
