“What about you? Don’t you miss your mother?” Chui Yim turned to Siu Hoi gobbling the meal Lam Ming Sum packed for him.153Please respect copyright.PENANA0egblJ41zV
Siu Hoi shook his head, the grains dropping to the ground like crystal clear snowflakes. “My mother went to the heavens right after I was born. I’ve never seen her before.”153Please respect copyright.PENANAXD50OPtoDZ
Well, same as me. Chui Yim thought to himself. “But you’ll never get to see your father anymore, and you have to rely on yourself for survival. Aren’t you afraid?”
“Daddy told me to not fear loneliness, because it’s a sign of growing up. He also taught me how to transplant rice seedlings, sow seeds, and manage farmland. I am the person behind everything we earned this year!” Siu Hoi smiled at Chui Yim like an innocent kid, even flexing his muscles as he spoke.153Please respect copyright.PENANATwsGKlXgeS
What an interesting kid. He even put a smile on Chui Yim’s face.153Please respect copyright.PENANAicbY451yhl
Reminded of the jade, Chui Yim pulled it out, and he instantly identified it as Nether Flame Jade, an extremely precious treasure.
It was said that this item could only be produced in places with the utmost negative energy in the world. As the saying goes, when negative reaches its extreme, positive is born. The Nether Flame Jade was made by a flame of negative nature, naturally produced in places with extreme negative energy. To be exact, it was a form of flame with negative nature, just like Ka Yi’s Fury that Chui Yim saw sitting on the Iron Lotus.153Please respect copyright.PENANApaQgHUuI8a
“This is your clan’s treasure, so I’ll return it to you.”153Please respect copyright.PENANAy4TUuQ8nDg
However, Siu Hoi shook his head so hard that some grains dropped to the ground. “Daddy said it’s for you. If I take it back, he’ll definitely give me a beating when I reunite with him in the heavens again.”153Please respect copyright.PENANA3LDgdfTyr7
No matter how Chui Yim tried to convince or even force Siu Hoi afterwards, he refused to take the jade back. Thus, the jade ended in Chui Yim’s divine bracelet. It was a precious treasure that would emit energy waves and attract unwanted attention if it wasn’t kept in a storage space.

After Siu Hoi finished the food, he packed the box neatly and returned it to Chui Yim. “Uncle, that was delicious! Did you make it yourself? Your cooking skills are way better than Siu Hoi’s!”153Please respect copyright.PENANAYsObltWLoL
“Nope. My friend made it.” Chui Yim shook his head. “Is Siu Hoi full? We’re going home now.”153Please respect copyright.PENANAU9vUVY0fq7
“Yes, Siu Hoi is full.” Siu Hoi nodded and flashed him a wide smile.153Please respect copyright.PENANAfjqLqLNJSV
Does he even know that his father is dead? Chui Yim sighed secretly. He congealed a gliph, and the fire cloud appeared in front of them.153Please respect copyright.PENANAR2cKXbZJ7l
“Has Siu Hoi ever imagined flying in the clouds like those immortals do?”153Please respect copyright.PENANA9VQ6qiifP9
“Yes!”153Please respect copyright.PENANAwszq84ZBxi
“Get ready to fly then!”153Please respect copyright.PENANAfw6Z3jIG6A
“Let’s go!”

Nighttime arrived. Under the fine snow, the bright moon seemed to veil the earth in a layer of white gauze, appearing even more poignant.153Please respect copyright.PENANAnUrXuJtUqo
A black-haired teenager stood under the moon with his hands behind his back, looking up.153Please respect copyright.PENANA5hTXhrS8pG
He had weird orbs; if one were to look deep into them, they would see a moon in his left eye, a reflection of the moon in the sky. All of a sudden, the teen trembled violently as if he was enduring intense pain!153Please respect copyright.PENANAeDcZl68b5I
Pfft! He vomited blood, splattering it over the snow like red blossoms on a white canvas.153Please respect copyright.PENANAtY4d0tNTAh
“Scared Son!” Ling Fei screamed anxiously, but was caught tightly by Siu Fu.153Please respect copyright.PENANAztjJLI21NY
“Something important is about to happen.” As pale as a sheet of paper, he pointed west. “Head west right now, I’ve deduced that there’s a huge opportunity for our tribe to the west, but time’s running out and you must act immediately!”153Please respect copyright.PENANAvYyMU6X8u8
“But Sacred Son’s precious body…” Ling Fei hesitated.153Please respect copyright.PENANAYVVbwKCkPe
“This isn’t the time, that item is extremely important to necrogliphism. Hurry!” Siu Fu shook his head.153Please respect copyright.PENANAVw6UhaWDj8
Since Ling Fei was kind of confident in Siu Fu’s capability, he decided to trust him. “Take care and be careful, Sacred Son, I’ll return as soon as possible.”153Please respect copyright.PENANAg3FFJfdAsu
“No, head back to the Black Promise Tower after acquiring whatever that item is. It’s only safe in the tower.” Siu Fu shook his head, even reaching his hands out to push Ling Fei. “Hurry, I sacrificed a lot for this deduction, don’t waste my efforts.”153Please respect copyright.PENANAwOaUFYa7gI
Ling Fei nodded and disappeared into the snowy night as a ray of light.153Please respect copyright.PENANAHEvuaCE7IF
“What is it that it could impact necrogliphism’s fate so largely…?” Siu Fu mumbled to himself, shaking his head afterwards. Nothing had changed; he still didn’t really have feelings for the tribe, but he had lived off them for free for a long period of time, so he should do something to repay them too.153Please respect copyright.PENANAGM0nTbB93p
After taking a rest, he made his way south, leaving a trail of footprints behind him.

Chui Yim was currently drinking tea in a small residence. He was surprised to find out that Siu Hoi had the ability to take care of himself.153Please respect copyright.PENANADbG6FWYGKj
After Chui Yim’s arrival, Siu Hoi even got him to take a seat and made him tea. People with intellectual disabilities mostly didn’t have the ability to take care of themselves, as they only had the intelligence of a child, yet seeing how familiar Siu Hoi was with everything, it should be due to his lifestyle.153Please respect copyright.PENANAhuVQH0rr5s
Chui Yim couldn’t help but be reminded of the old farmer that passed on. How much effort must he have put in to teach him?153Please respect copyright.PENANAACVvKgEsGF
“Does Siu Hoi really not want to leave with me?” Chui Yim asked.153Please respect copyright.PENANAdfge90NW3s
Siu Hoi shook his head hard upon hearing him. “No, this is my home and my farmland. Daddy taught me many times that home is a person’s roots that we cannot simply erase from our hearts.”
Chui Yim remained silent. He wasn’t really worried about Siu Hoi, as he acted decisively and killed Chung Jung Sin and Cheung Yim Wang, leaving nobody the chance to link this incident to Siu Hoi, who was mentally disabled. But just in case, Chui Yim used his privilege and got the Metallic Blood War Gate to send cultivators over.153Please respect copyright.PENANAYlquxHe0TA
He didn’t have much time to spare, and he needed to leave.153Please respect copyright.PENANATmk3frqwIi
“In that case, Uncle should take his leave.” Chui Yim nodded.153Please respect copyright.PENANAQPXL4FbdQx
“Yeah!” Siu Hoi smiled at him. “Uncle is my friend. Siu Hoi never had any friends, Uncle is the first!”153Please respect copyright.PENANAyFjzHRn3ct
His words made Chui Yim’s heart clench, and he forced a smile. “Be at ease, Uncle found many friends to keep Siu Hoi company. If anything happens in the future, head to the Chor Clan in South Imperial City and tell them my name, they will solve many problems for you.”153Please respect copyright.PENANAIVpFS0HLQK
“Yes!”153Please respect copyright.PENANAec16r9n9bu
Chui Yim looked up into the skies; daylight had slowly taken over. He didn’t have ample rest coming across this incident, but he still had enough energliph for him to continue his journey.153Please respect copyright.PENANA1eaR9XdFrI
“Goodbye, Siu Hoi.”153Please respect copyright.PENANACvCGn6W4aR
“Goodbye, Uncle.”153Please respect copyright.PENANAZf6jCmMdO9
Chui Yim went off on his Floating Cloud gliph, disappearing into the air. Siu Hoi’s smile disappeared from his face as tears flowed down his cheeks.153Please respect copyright.PENANANnGGhgWPor
“Daddy, you told me to never get upset by death, and we should hide and cry when we are feeling sad… now that Uncle is gone, can I cry?” he muttered to himself.153Please respect copyright.PENANANxe8f1qqvH
“Daddy, Siu Hoi misses you!”

In the vast snowy land, there was a small hill of snow, a carriage half sunken into the snow, as well as blood drops and two corpses lying nearby.153Please respect copyright.PENANALObb6rdqEl
Two rays of light appeared in this snowy land.153Please respect copyright.PENANASe0tS2JsAy
The traces of the battle could still be clearly seen.153Please respect copyright.PENANA3GENeV2vH9
Chung Kin Shing and Cheung Pak easily found the old Farmer Siu and his hardy horse under the snow, while the corpses of the princess of Heaven’s Pillar City, Miss Chung Jung Sin, and the Cheung Clan’s great talent, Cheung Yim Wang, were left lying around. They even had some snow on them, proving that the culprit didn’t even bother to bury them, even though he buried a horse and an ordinary farmer.153Please respect copyright.PENANA8ypFx3314n
“Hmph!” The sight of this made Cheung Pak boil in anger as he turned the farmer and his horse into mincemeat with just a slap!153Please respect copyright.PENANA0X5wCsD4YS
Chung Kin Shing looked around coldly, trying to feel something. They felt a violent energliph in the air that even the snow could not cover.153Please respect copyright.PENANAdgpWhVjUKT
That must be the culprit that took my daughter’s life!153Please respect copyright.PENANA5g9T9egEgS
“I don’t see that mentally disabled kid. He must have escaped, huh?” Chung Kin Shing asked fiercely.153Please respect copyright.PENANAmFQwk5pR7S
“Escaped? Where can he possibly go?” Cheung Pak laughed coldly. Instead of catching up with the culprit, they carefully dug a hole for their children and buried them, only exchanging a glance after everything was done.
“Fallen Leaves Village, let’s go.”
They turned into rays of light again and left.153Please respect copyright.PENANAIkDBoUiMAZ
Snow covered the surroundings within no time. The bloody story might only be uncovered next spring when the snow melted.
