Chapter 265 Su Xue Went to the Semi-Ancient Martial World
At the airport, to the south of the capital city.
Although it was at night, at the airport, there were still many people coming and going, with a huge passenger flow and an extraordinarily prosperous scene.
Outside, two men were walking toward the airport.
One being older, the other being younger, both of them were wearing hats and baggy clothes, covering their exterior and faces intentionally or unintentionally.
They went in the airport accompanied by the crowd while carrying only several belongings and came to an unoccupied place and sat down.
“Alas, finally it’s time to leave. I’ve never expected that I would leave in this way.” After sitting down, the older man sighed while watching the lights outside in the city.
The younger man responded to him discontentedly, “Elder Cang, are we leaving like this?”
“So what, the Dragon Group is over, so do we. Now they are just too busy to pay attention to us. The sooner we leave, the safer we will be, or I’m afraid that we won’t make it leave later even if we want to.”
This man was no one but one of the most prestigious figures of the Dragon Group‒Cang Ying of the Cang Hai Sect. The younger man was a member of the Cang Hai Sect.
“Right, but I’m just unwilling to accept this.” The younger man was so reluctant and discontented.
“What can you do then? Are you able to rival Qin Hao the monster? Even Long Yubai failed to rival him, let alone us.” Cang Ying mocked bitterly.
“For that Qin Hao, hasn’t he yet cultivated for a year? How can he be so strong? Or our Boss Long was just too weak and was defeated by him?” The younger man didn’t believe the fact to some extent that Qin Hao was so powerful.
Cang Ying coldly sneered at the younger man, “Long Yubai, a master in the Spirit Stage, is he weak or strong? Alas, you are just too young to know that.”
“A Spirit Stage master? Does he have the same strength as our boss? God!” The younger man was shocked a lot, “If he were going to attack the Cang Hai Sect, wouldn’t we be in great danger?”
“This is one of our reasons to go back as soon as possible this time.” Cang Ying’s looks became serious, “The first step of the Sky Group’s mission is to replace the Dragon Group. Now they have made it. Then the next step is to make all Martial Cultivators in the world surrender, or simply eliminate them all.”
“To eliminate all Martial Cultivators in the world, what an appetite. Can they make it?” The younger man was a bit doubtful.
“Hum, listen, little boy, never underestimate Qin Hao. It seems that there is nothing he dares not to do and fails to make it. The reason the Dragon Group ended like this was exactly by underestimating Qin Hao.”
“So, so what should we do?”
“Go back soon and expose the Sky Group’s conspiracy. And then all Martial Cultivators in the world will worry about their safety and will naturally align with each other to fight against the Sky Group. Then, hum hum, let’s see how long the Sky Group will, which was defective in the first place, keep behaving so arrogantly.” The corners of Cang Ying’s mouth were presenting a sly sneer.
…
The next day, at the Su Family, the Elder of Clan Guarding of the Su Family‒Wu He, after grieving for his brother Wu Gang’s death and resenting Qin Hao for killing his brother and thinking for a night, decided to talk to the old head of the Su Family‒Su Qiong and resign his position.
Knowing Wu He’s resignation, Su Qiong was surprised a lot, “Brother Wu, how can you leave so suddenly? Although you and I are not blood brothers, we are more than that. Have I done something wrong?”
From Su Qiong’s words, one could see that he was unwilling to let Wu He go. The Su Family, with such a large wealth and power, would need people like Wu He to protect it.
Wu He sighed, “Elder Qiong, it’s not about you. It’s about me. I am the Elder of Clan Guarding of the Su Family, but my brother…”
“Alas, Brother Wu, your brother is your brother, and you are you. I can tell the difference. You don’t have to worry about it. By the way, Xiao Xue hasn’t been hurt much.”
Wu He shook his head, “Elder Qiong, I’ve made my mind. Please stop trying to persuade me. And for my brother’s death I…, alas, just leave it. Why was he so stubborn? But he is still my brother. I have to take his ashes back to the Semi-Ancient Martial World and bury. That’s where he has to return to.”
It was a tradition for Huaxia people to give top priorities to the dead and to bring their bodies or ashes back to their hometowns. The reason was not bad, so Su Qiong couldn’t continue, “If it is so, Brother Wu, you must come back soon, I, an old man, am waiting for you to do morning exercises and to play chess with me every day. Otherwise, I will be bored to death.”
Wu He nodded, “Let me see. Perhaps I’ll come back soon, perhaps longer. Elder Qiong, I’m going to pack now. Take care of yourself.”
Words done, Wu He turned around and left.
“Alas…” Su Qiong wanted to say something from behind but didn’t know what to say. So, he could only give a helpless sigh instead. Wu He seemed to have made his mind. After living together with him for years, Su Qiong knew his temperament. Once something was decided, it would be hard to change his mind.
“Old master, Miss Xue has woken up.” At the moment, a maid walked to the door and reported reverently.
Su Qiong was stunned, “Go. I’m gonna visit her.”
The moment Su Qiong came into Su Xue’s room, Su Xue who was lying on the bed called him anxiously, “Grandpa, how did I come here? Uh, where is Qin Hao? I’ve seen him. Where is he?”
Seeing Su Xue’s reaction, Su Qiong didn’t know what to do, “Xue, haven’t you said that Qin Hao already had someone else to love, and that it’s improper for you and him to love each other and that you would forget him?”
Hearing this, Su Xue was stunned and kept silence while letting tears run, “Grandpa, I wanted to forget him, but I can’t make it. I can’t. Waaaa…” The emotional outburst of a woman would never be easily erased once it had begun.
“Alas…” Su Qiong sighed from inside. To be honest, Qin Hao had now already obtained great fame. No one in the Martial Cultivators’ world of the urban didn’t know his name. If the Su Family could establish relations with such a figure, it would undoubtedly benefit the Su Family a lot.
If Su Xue and Qin Hao could be bound together, he would be the first person to approve it. However, was it possible? Obviously not.
“Xiao Xue, accept the reality. Qin Hao is a Martial Cultivator, and you are just an ordinary person. You two are living in two different worlds. So, as much as I want to help you, I don’t know how?”
Su Xue was still in a daze, but, suddenly, she seemed to be reminded of something and raised her head at once, with something specially shining in the eyes, looking at Su Qiong, “Grandpa, what did you say? Martial Cultivator? Right, how can I realize it so late? Martial Cultivator! If I become a Martial Cultivator, won’t I be in the same world as Qin Hao? …, Martial Cultivator, right, I’ll become a Martial Cultivator. Where is grandpa Wu? I’ll find him.” Regardless of everything, Su Xue jumped down from the bed immediately.
“Xiao Xue, what are you going to do? Your grandpa Wu is going to leave our Su Family and is packing. He…, alas, Xiao Xue…Wait. Take it easy.”
Su Qiong shouted while following Su Xue, who had already rushed out the room. He wanted to know what Su Xue was going to do.
In Wu He’s room, he and his apprentice Fan Jian had already finished packing. They had only several things to take with. Martial Cultivators didn’t need much but only several clothes of daily using.
“Shifu, are we leaving like this?” Fan Jian was a little unwilling to leave. Actually, he was unwilling to leave Su Xue.
Wu He knew what Fan Jian was thinking and smiled helplessly, “Let’s go. As a Martial Cultivator, you should know when it’s time to give up. Don’t be so sentimental.”
“Yes, Shifu.” Fan Jian dared not to disobey Shifu’s words. He couldn’t help but follow his Shifu and walked out of the room.
“Grandpa Wu, wait, grandpa Wu.”
The moment the two walked out of the room, Su Xue hurried over. Under the surprised looks of the two, with a sound of “pow”, Su Xue knelt down on the ground.
Wu He was shocked, “Xiao Xue, what are you doing?”
“Grandpa Wu, haven’t you told me that I have a gift for becoming a Martial Cultivator? I’ve made my mind. I’ll follow you and become a Martial Cultivator like you.” said Su Xue with a rather determined tone.
Wu He was shocked again while Fan Jian who was behind was glad instead. If Su Xue chose Wu He to be her Shifu, then she would be his little sister, thus spared him from worrying about no chance to get close to her.
“Xiao Xue, haven’t you said that you don’t like fighting and killing and that you don’t want to do martial cultivation?”
Wu He actually did like Su Xue’s gifts, which were extraordinary. He had only one apprentice‒Fan Jian in his life. He also wanted to have several more apprentices to inherit his legacy. When he saw someone with so excellent gifts, he, naturally, was unwilling to let him go.
“I want. Now I want.”
“But we’re going to return to the Semi-Ancient Martial World.”
“No matter where you are going, I’m willing to go with you, as long as you allow me to do martial cultivation.” Su Xue would spare no efforts to become a Martial Cultivator. For Qin Hao, she was willing to pay for that.
“This…” Wu He was a little touched. It was not easy to find such a kind of apprentice with good gifts. However, if he was going to take Su Xue with him like this, would the Su Family agree? So, he hesitated.
“Shifu, please promise sister Xue, and I’ll never be alone when doing martial cultivation.” Fan Jian said anxiously from behind aiming to help her.
Wu He knew what Fan Jian was thinking, and he also wanted to help him, but to take Su Xue, he still needed to have consent from the Su Family.
“Brother Wu, you just take her with you.” responded Su Qiong who was walking over.
Su Qiong supported Su Xue very much in doing martial cultivation. If the Su Family, as one of the Four Families, had one powerful Martial Cultivator of their own, it would be more than good to protect the Su Family’s status.
While the Su Family was big, not everyone had gifts. Among the recent generations of the Su Family, Su Xue was the only one. And her gifts were much better than ordinary ones, so she was obviously the best choice of the family. In the past, Su Xue wasn’t willing to cultivate, and they also didn’t want to force her to do so. Now she was willing to. They had no reason to refuse.
In addition, once Wu He became Su Xue’s Shifu, his relationship with the Su Family would be even closer. If anything happened to the Su Family, it would be more impossible for Wu He to ignore it.
Since both parties were agreed on this, Su Xue’s role as Wu He’s apprentice became well-reasoned. After packing for a while and receiving a send-off from the Su Family, Wu He, Fan Jian and Su Xue left the capital city and went to the Semi-Ancient Martial World.
Sitting in the plane, Su Xue whispered in her heart while looking down at the crowd that was shrinking, “Qin Hao, wait for me. When I come back, I’ll never be your encumbrance. I’ll become a woman who can help you. Take care of yourself. I’ll miss you.”
While talking about “miss you”, in Su Xue’s mind that boy’s familiar young face appeared again. Sentiments arisen by her leaving and her missing of Qin Hao turned into a drop of tear running out of her eyes and across her white and soft face.
