The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 191. Endless Sadness

For too long we have ignored the circumstances of Zhang Qiaofeng and the Zhang family after the fall of Lin Tian. Therefore, let us look for a moment at their news after a long grief at that time.

As already told, four years after Lin Tian's death, the Zhang family along with the other ruling families sent a massive army towards the North to help withstand the onslaught of Unsurpassed Demons.

But things before four years are not known for sure, so now is the right time to be sure.

...****************...

"Kriet's..."

Zhang Qiaofeng's room door opened slowly, revealing a young girl whose face was slightly pale. The eye bags are blackened so it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a human eye or a panda eye.

His body was thin, the bones in both cheeks until it was clearly visible, his hair was rotten. Her face that usually always looks beautiful is now a little lost its beauty because of the sad look full of sadness in the pair of clear eyes.

It was Zhang Qiaofeng, Zhang Anming's daughter who continued in his father's footsteps to become the leader of the family. But for a month this girl left duty and continued to confine herself in her room. Today was his first day out of the room in addition to taking the food that his grandfather always brought.

Zhang Qiaofeng made his way towards the peach tree in front of his house. Then sat pensively under the tree for a long time, doing nothing but staring at the neat grass in the yard.

Until noon he did not move before finally heard a heavy sigh accompanied by a little sobbing. But even so, there were not the slightest tears. Perhaps the extreme sadness in making his tears dry.

He then pulled out a rope that looked strong from his waist. The rope he wrapped behind the belt to resist the hunger that is increasingly felt. After the rope came off, Zhang Qiaofeng groaned slightly from feeling an incredible hunger.

But he ignored that. This girl then formed a round bond on the rope and the other end of the rope, she tied it to one of the tree branches on it. Of course by jumping using the science of lightening the body, even though Zhang Qiaofeng had changed like an undead, but he would not forget his martial arts.

The person Zhang Hongli had assigned to guard the girl secretly saw all his actions with a pale face. He wondered what his nona would do, wanted him to stop but he wanted to ascertain whether the actions he would do were the same as the ones he had in mind.

Zhang Qiaofeng then tied the round-shaped rope to his own neck, tightened it and looked down.

Then, he smiled! The smile of happiness that has been lost. With a smile, he chuckled softly and said what could still be heard by someone watching over the girl.

"Heheh...Lin Tian, you're a wayward boy. If you've gone there, why didn't you tell me? This none of you will accompany you, don't you be moody. Wait for me Lin Tian, soon your woman will come!"

Along with this, Zhang Qiaofeng jumped up and dove off the top of that tree!

"Damn!" a Zhang guard who saw that immediately shot up and passed the sword from his waist, then in one fell, the rope tied to the branch of the tree broke instantly.

"Srat–Bruk!"

"Ouch!" Zhang Qiaofeng whimpered and held onto his chest which was in pain from hitting the ground. Feeling something strange, Zhang Qiaofeng turned his head quickly and found a young man looking at him sadly.

"Miss..don't scare us.." said the bodyguard.

Zhang Qiaofeng's eyes reddened hearing this remark. A second later, his entire face was red and his breathing was stirring. Until here you know that bodyguard if he has made his nona angry.

"You..you....who do you dare oppose my will!? Who are you to dare to ban me!!" Zhang Qiaofeng became furious and hit the man.

Once in motion, he was already able to make his bodyguards fall flat and he overstretched his body. The man's sword was in his hand and ready to be thrust into the man's throat.

While the bodyguard was not afraid, even more sad until crying sobbing.

"Miss..conscious...."

"I'm sober!! I am fully aware!! I want to catch up with Lin Tian and accompany him, keeping him there for good. I belong to Lin Tian, both my body and my heart all belong to Lin Tian. If he can't have me in this world, then I will give up everything in that world!! And you've obstructed your non-will, you rebel! The rebels must die!!"

The girl moved her sword very quickly. Understandably because she was not a weak girl, then the prick precisely led to the man's vital point.

While the bodyguard that he almost killed, continued to look with his eyes wide open. He was not afraid of death at all. If he dies now, at least before he dies he's already trying to resuscitate his nona. Then he just resigned without fighting back.

But it seems like the end has not been willing to pick him up today. A moment after Zhang Qiafeng's furious clash and the sword began to slide, the shadows of several people flashed.

"Tring!"

There were three people already present there. They were Zhang Hongli who had just fended off the sword. Lu Jia Li who forcefully pulled Zhang Qiaofeng's body, and Minghao who pulled Zhang's bodyguard to keep the man away from the girl who was still shaken inwardly.

"Why are you bothering!! Can't you guys just let me choose my own path!?" the girl rebelled and moved her body. Back then, Lu Jia Li who was even slightly stronger than him could easily be slammed violently.

"Death!!"

"Zhang Qiaofeng!!!" zhang Hongli exclaimed with deep exertion and wide bulging eyes. For this action, the bodyguard who was almost killed by Zhang Qiaofeng fainted instantly as he could not resist the pressure of the voice.

Similarly, Zhang Qiaofeng, after the clash was heard, his body squeezed and fell down. His sword also fell to the ground. His body trembled violently with cold sweat pouring down.

Zhang Hongli walked up to his granddaughter with quick steps. When he arrived, he raised his right hand and....

"Plak!–Plak!"

Twice a hard slap landed right on both of his grandchildren's cheeks. Making the girl slam and shed fresh blood from both corners of her lips.

"Oh...it turns out that Zhang Anming's son has gone crazy huh? Zhang Ci's ancestral descendants turned out to be this weak? Want to kill yourself to escape reality!?" zhang Hongli. This speech was only slowly but with a voice trembling because it held the anger that was growing.

"W-grandpa?" Zhang Qiaofeng said nervously as well. He did not remember having been treated to this extent by his grandfather.

"Don't call me grandpa again if you want to die!! Do you think that when Lin Tian comes to nature, he will be very happy and embrace you with love? Defending you is full of affection!? Do you think so naive boy!!?" Zhang Hongli started to explode. Never before has Zhang Hongli been this angry.

"Tell you, Lin Tian is your personal bodyguard, he is your very loyal protector figure. You're from a noble family, and he's from a poor peasant family. And also don't forget that Lin Tian is a figure of courtesy and courtesy, have you ever been held by him without your permission?"

Zhang Qiaofeng spontaneously shook his head, but with a weak move.

"That's how he is. A true swordsman of noble heart, not just a seeker of strength to attract many girls. That kind of man, do you think he loves you too? He's self-conscious, boy! Lin Tian was too embarrassed to admit that he loved you! Even if he loves you, I'm sure he won't say it because of the caste difference between you and him!"

Zhang Qiaofeng was wide-eyed, his face growing pale until his lips turned blue like a corpse.

"No.no.." he shook his head in despair. Then he lowered his face and covered his face with both hands.

"No. Don't say that.I love Lin Tian.I love him.." she said on the sidelines sobs heartbreaking tears.

"You love and you want to die!? Your love is only limited if Lin Tian lives you come alive and if he dies you die? It was not love but selfish stupid!!"

"If you die and the Zhang family becomes the subject of a worldwide banter, it's still okay. What's a burden on my heart is, will you put where your face is if there instead of meeting Lin Tian, you meet our ancestors instead?" Zhang Hongli continued to snarl. His emotions may not have subsided.

"What if you're asked by them? What if they ask, what makes you die? What are you going to answer!? Killing yourself, is that it? Then when I die, won't I be trampled by them for not being able to properly educate the only grandson I have!?"

Seeing all this, Minghao involuntarily cried. But he could bear it as much as possible by biting his lower lip and avert his eyes. He felt so dear to Zhang Qiaofeng that, seeing that the girl wanted to kill herself, he became very grieved.

"Well.aa.." Lu Jia Li let out an indistinct voice and he approached Zhang Qiaofeng. Then hugged her tightly while crying too. Hugging, his hands also removed the rope that was still attached to Zhang Qiaofeng's neck.

Zhang Hongli snorted and turned his body around. Honestly, he forced his heart to get angry, hardened his mind to be cruel. If it was not like that, it was certain that he was the one who would cry the loudest at the reckless actions of his favorite grandson.

"Take good care of him, lest he do this kind of reckless act again. Until his state recovers, leave all your duties and focus on guarding Feng'er." Zhang Hongli ordered in a whisper as he passed by Minghao. After that, this grandfather left without turning his head again because he was worried that if he stood there for too long, his tears would not be strong he could bear anymore.

Minghao simply nodded while holding his sob.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.

As for Zhang Qiaofeng, he had already tightly hugged Lu Jia Li and cried loudly at the peak of the mute girl.

"I'm sorry brother.forgive me!!" his mouth continued to say so amid his increasingly aggravating and heartbreaking cries.
