The Ghost of Fog
Chapter 282. New Students [TAMAT]

That morning the weather seemed quite bright, the sun shining brightly spread warmth and tranquility for anyone who feels it.

The gentle breeze gently flew the dry leaves of the trees as well as making the scenery in the expanse of the meadow more beautiful. The grass swayed here and there following the wind as if it was dancing together.

Just like the jet black hair of the woman, from a distance already seen her lush and fat hair waving with her carefree, in line with the direction of the wind around.

The robe was golden yellow, not from the best materials but still quite clean and nice. Moreover, coupled with the beauty of the wearer of clothes like young girls, it seems that any clothes are suitable if worn on him.

Looking at his face, one would think that he was only twenty years old. But the age of this woman is more than that. Well, not more than twenty-seven years.

Her face was betel leaf-shaped, her skin was pure white without any blemishes. The most interesting thing is, a small mole located under her pair of beautiful eyes. It really adds to the appeal of this woman.

He was holding a baby boy wrapped in a thick white cloth. In addition to warming the child, also the cloth can be used to cover the child's head so as not to overheat.

The pretty face looked like a girl, but seeing the baby in her cradle that was very similar to her face, one would think twice to think so.

But the truth is, this woman who was walking in the middle of the meadow was a widow!

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

Entering the city of Batu, this woman's face looks like nostalgia. For years he had left his hometown to study with a great hermit on the South coast.

Suddenly, he was shocked when he heard his son crying in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city.

"Ah...Xiao Tsun, are you hungry? Thirsty? The heat? Well, how stupid is this mother of yours." he muttered and led her to a narrow alley that people rarely pass.

Then this woman looked here and there trying to make sure no one was looking. After feeling confident, he flashed very quickly without making a sound, as if there had never been anyone there before.

A few seconds later, he had already landed on top of a large tall tree whose leaves dangled to the bottom. Without any doubt she undressed a bit and started nursing her son Xiao Tsun. Because the leaves are thick, of course people will not be able to see there is a human on it.

Until here it can be expected who the woman is. He was Xiao Lian, the son of Xiao Li who went to the South coast with Hao Yu to deepen his knowledge.

More or less, perhaps less or less, he and Hao Yu trained under the guidance of the Fan God for five years.

Then after living with Hao Yu, he had subconsciously loved the man. Not just admiring, but being sincere from his heart.

Long story short, they asked for blessing to the Fan God and finally married. Then blessed with a son named Xiao Tsun.

But a few months after her birth, it was sad and hard for Xiao Lian to learn that her husband had been exposed to a malignant toxin from one of the deadly fish species in the South Sea. The fish is called the Blood Taring Shark.

Hao Yu received the poison not because of his weak intelligence, but because when he was hunting fish, this man accidentally met a flock of Blood Taring Sharks who immediately ganged on him.

He managed to return home, but due to fate, after three hours after his return, Hao Yu died.

As per Xiao Lian's initial goal, after maturing with the Fan God, he wanted to train under the guidance of the Heaven's Wall Mountain ascetics. But before leaving there, he took the time to visit his family in the city of Batu.

After a few minutes of nursing his son, Xiao Lian immediately darted towards the place where her father should have been standing.

Shoulda-coulda....

Yeah, should.....

It should be so, yet what he saw was truly beyond belief.

"Why is Chu's flag flying here? No Xiao flags?"

Xiao Lian went to one of the gatekeepers and asked him this. The gatekeeper simply retorted with a puzzled look before replying.

"Miss, the Xiao family had already collapsed a few years ago."

Like being hit with a giant hammer, his head instantly dizzy and he staggered. His face was pale and his eyes were empty.

"Mrs!" the gatekeeper and a few of his friends quickly walked over when they saw Xiao Lian staggering like that.

"Where....where is...sir Xiao Li?" tanyanya.

"Emh.he. For knowing that his eldest daughter is dead." replied the gatekeeper.

Xiao Lian flinched, his eldest daughter died? He's still alive!

"It's impossible...."

Perhaps because it was still holy and the bond with his mother was very strong, Xiao Tsun woke up from her sleep and cried loudly at Xiao Lian's expression.

"It's impossible...."

It was never suspected that the figure he had been most idolized, his father who was famously wise, ended his life in such a cowardly way.

"No way....!!!!" he shouted loudly and surprised the people around.

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

"You take it easy, forget the grudge because even if you want to get it back. They're dead already. Lin Tian and Zhang Qiaofeng had already eliminated them all in the Black and White battle a few years ago."

Xiao Lian was sitting under a tree with a wide-clothed old man and a buttock. It was this grandfather who suddenly pulled her right as he cried in the middle of the city, then dragged her here.

"I trained hard all these years, to make the Xiao family advance. I don't want to be a burden."

"My name is Chong San, you're Xiao's daughter. At least I have some good news for you."

Xiap Lian flinched and quickly turned her head, "What is that?"

"Be my disciple, I want to spend my old age and pass on these sciences to my disciples, so that they may be useful."

Xiao Lian frowned, "This is what you mean happy tidings?"

"Not." Chong San shook his head, "Either you know it or not but his face is too similar to yours. About two years ago I let her go with her aunt. He was so young.His name was Xiao Niu, you know?"

"Ah...he's my sister! Where's she!" xiao Lian's face beamed and quickly approached Chong San.

"Where I know, she went with her aunt called Aunt Sun."

A feeling of relief enveloped his chest. At least her sister was still safe, "She's my sister and Aunt Sun are servants in the Xiao family" Xiao Lian said later.

"So, what about my offer?"

"I accept it!" with a radiant face, he answered quickly. "Maybe I can find Niu'er after becoming your disciple."

"What does it have to do with being my student and finding him?"

"Somehow, I feel that way."

"You believe me right away?"

"Hopefully you can be trusted. Proof that you know aunt Sun who is not famous even among the family, it's your view not to lie."

A puzzled look became the response of the old man.

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

"We arrived." he said in front of a simple cottage.

"Hei Rouwei, there's a new student! Haha, you have another sister now. And..hem, there's a younger brother too!" chong San exclaimed to the beautiful virgin who was about four fifteen years old. He was drying medicinal plants in front of the hut.

This girl called Rouwei turned her head and smiled, "Ah....guru took another disciple? Welcome brother! Eh...where are the men?"

"Still carried." Chong San briefly replied as he pointed at Xiao Tsun.

"Eh.nona, I'm Xiao Lian...." Xiao Lian smiled awkwardly introducing herself. "And this is Xiao Tsun."

"Woah...the descendants of the Xiao family? Great, I thought they were gone!! Uh...Xiao Lian's? Ah, aren't you someone that you've saved brother?" Rouwei became hysterical, "You're also the daughter of the Xiao family right?"

"Well...." Xiao Lian smiled awkwardly and nodded. "There's no need to be formal." then he hurriedly said upon seeing Rouwei about to bow in respect.

"Then don't be stiff with me either. I'm not very familiar with this Southern region, but after becoming a student teacher whose house moved, I became aware of the Ruler's family and so on."

"Eh, you're from the North."

"Yes!"

Xiao Lian smiled warmly in response to that, "Hayo, get acquainted first with big brother" Xiao Lian told Xiao Tsun.

Rouwei stroked and kissed the small face of Xiao Tsun. Back then Xiao Lian was wondering about big brother Rouwei who had saved her. When they were about to ask, they were first startled by the noise behind the house.

"Zhi Yang! I feel sultry and sick of seeing you masked like that just to look for plants in the forest!"

"Teacher! I felt sick and nauseous with the behavior of those striped-nosed youths! If you don't remember they're still human, maybe now they're curious spirits!"

Rouwei's face beamed and Xiao Lian frowned, feeling familiar with that creepy hoarse voice. Rouwei pulled him to the source of the voice while saying.

"If you were Xiao Lian, you would know my brother."

When he got to the back of the house, how surprised the two people were when they faced each other. Zhi Yang who was fighting with his teacher suddenly stopped and was fixated on the presence of Xiao Lian.

"You..mrs Xiao!"

"You're the skull mask that saved me from the Chen family back then."

Slowly, Zhi Yang took off his mask and was surprised that Xiao Lian would look beautiful Zhi Yang. "Miss Xiao, is there anything to come here?"

This time, Chong San said. He pulled out Zhi Yang's hand and pulled Xiao Lian's, forcing her to shake.

"Today there's no more calling, miss. You are the same as my students. Well, that's familiar."

"Teacher...nona Xiao...become your student!?" unconsciously Zhi Yang screeched.

"Your teacher ever lied? You don't believe it?"
