But when revenge became wild wishes, shock, powerlessness, and the feeling of having failed his son and wife… these all made the fire of his heart dismal. Yun Che resolutely swore he would definitely take revenge, but that was Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, the pinnacle of existence in the Profound Sky Continent. He wouldn’t think that Yun Che really had the ability to ask such a colossus for vengeance, and more so didn’t wish for Yun Che to face danger for this, to the point of even losing his life.
Looking at Xiao Lie’s expression, Yun Che silently sighed in his heart, and said: “After me and my biological grandfather recognized each other, I’ve found out about some things… Back then, after my birth parents had left Floating Cloud City, they weren’t caught by Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, and had instead safely fled back to their own homeland… Grandfather, do you know what this implies? This can at least make certain, that the one who followed my birth parents and left… Uncle Xiao’s son, your biological grandson, wasn’t killed, and instead arrived at an absolutely safe place together with my birth parents in the end…”
Yun Che’s words sounded like rolling thunder beside Xiao Lie’s ears. His eyes instantly stared wide, and his originally dead grey eyes instantly exploded with incomparably intense vividness. He grabbed Yun Che’s shoulders with both hands, excited to the extent where his entire body was shaking: “Is what you said true… Is what you said true!?”
“Undoubtedly true!” Backhandedly grabbing Xiao Lie’s arm, Yun Che said as he looked him straight in the eyes: “When my birth parents fled to Floating Cloud City, they were already wounded all over and burnt out. If the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region’s people had caught up to them by then, they would have definitely met their end. But they safely returned to their homeland in the end, which proves that they had not encountered any other enemies afterwards. Then, the child in their arms, would also definitely be safe… His age is similar to mine, and as for today, he is also… nineteen years old like me. Grandfather’s bloodline, Uncle Xiao’s bloodline… had never been cut off!”
Xiao Lie’s entire person froze there, and in a moment his aged eyes were already full of tears.
Yun Che lowered his voice and said: “I am hoping to reunite with my birth parents, and he, must also be hoping to reunite with his blood-related family. So Grandfather, you have to be strong; your biological grandson is still waiting to recognize and reunite with you.”
Xiao Lie’s hands gradually loosened. His face was full of tear marks, but the color in his eyes became much more energetic, replacing all of the dead grey of before. He heavily nodded, and said in a low voice: “Okay… Okay!”
They were the same two words, yet they were no longer murky and powerless, and more so no longer had any hint of the wish to die.
Yun Che secretly let out a breath of relief. He called back Ling Jie, and carried Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi onto his mount, the Fierce Zephyr Bird.
“Little Che, you have to be careful, be sure to not overexert yourself, and be even more sure to not let anything bad happen to yourself!” Xiao Lingxi tightly gripped the corner of her clothing as she exclaimed with anxiety and worry.
“Don’t you worry.” Yun Che said with a relaxed smile on his face: “I’m invincible right now, you know. I don’t even need to put an insignificant Burning Heaven Clan in my eyes. I had just reunited with you, so how can I be willing to let myself die… Tour the Imperial City with all your heart for a few days. When you guys are done playing, I ought to be back too.”
“Heh, haven’t seen each other for three years, and Little Che had actually also learnt how to talk big.” Xiao Lingxi faintly smiled. She looked at the Fen Juecheng slacked onto the ground not far away, suddenly thought of something, and said: “Little Che, if, you really could destroy Burning Heaven Clan, then, can you spare a person there?”
Yun Che slightly froze for a bit, then said: “The person Little Aunt is talking about is?”
