Chapter 38
Chapter 38 – Resurrection1
Chu Sheng paused then his head shot up to stare at the white light that had started s.h.i.+ning just above Chu Shuangtian’s chest. It slowly condensed into a white halo that then rose up and revealed an almost transparent human shape.
Chu Sheng stared raptly at the figure without blinking, his heart wild with joy and hope.
The woman who appeared had elegant and gentle facial features. She looked at Chu Yu with a faint smile at the corners of her lips: “Yu-er, you’ve finally returned. Your mother had been worried to death.”
Chu Yu was also stunned and stared blankly at her before he bowed his head to her subconsciously.
This was the mother of the original Chu Yu and Chu Sheng, the wife of Chu Shuangtian.
Her Nascent Soul had been destroyed so her consciousness should have been extinguished. How could Madam Chu’s spirit be intact?
He pondered over it for a long time until he remembered what Chu Shuangtian had said – “She is in my heart.”
He thought that Chu Shuangtian meant that Madam Chu lived in his heart but now it seems that what he meant was that he had used an unknown technique to s.h.i.+eld Madam Chu’s soul, keeping it in his body, continually protecting her.
At this time Chu Sheng had been overwhelmed
by all the unexpected events. He was stunned, kneeling on the ground, his head buried in his hands. The joy that he had been feeling cooled after he looked at Chu Shuangtian’s body.
He had killed his father with his own hands.
Madam Chu gently gazed at Chu Yu for a moment longer, then turned her eyes away. She looked down at Chu Shuangtian’s body and sighed silently. A glimmer of pain appeared deep in her eyes but then the ripple of emotion immediately faded away.
“Sheng-Er.”
Chu Sheng, trembling, looked up with his face covered in tears at his mother. His expression was full of pain and guilt: “Mother, I’m sorry.”
Mrs. Chu was silent for a moment then she said: “Stop that, Sheng-Er, wipe away your tears. Your father wouldn’t want to see you like this.
She paused for a while and sighed. “…Chu Shuanghe knew that your father’s weakness was the Chu family, and the Chu family’s weakness was also him. These past few days, whenever he was clear-headed, he discussed it with me…”
“So Sheng-Er, don’t let your father down.”
Chu Sheng silently looked face to face at Madam Chu for a long time before he then lowered his head again. His hair fell in front of his face, hiding his expression. He seemed like he was carved from
from stone as he knelt silently in front of Chu Shuangtian and Madam Chu.
Chu Yu and Xie Xi glanced at each other then walked slowly up to Chu Sheng. They copied his posture, kneeling in front of Chu Shuangtian’s body. Chu Yu then called in a low voice: “Big brother.”
When he heard the voice of his favorite younger brother, Chu Sheng s.h.i.+fted slightly. Then when he raised his head to look up at Madam Chu, his face was already calm: “Mother, you are very selfish.”
Letting him bear the burden of killing his father, leaving the Chu family to go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the afterlife,2 thereby making him abandon his weak and soft past self, forcing him to grow up.
Even though all these matters were forced by circ.u.mstances, this method was really too ruthless.
Chu Yu looked into Chu Sheng’s eyes that were still red. He was still a little worried: “Big brother?”
Chu Sheng turned his head around to face Chu Yu. The corners of his lips turned up slightly and he stretched out his arms to pull Chu Yu into his embrace, trembling as though he was terribly cold.
Lu Qingan stood looking on from one side for a long time before he then he shook his head and turned back to the Jing
the Jing Hua Sect Palace.
Chu Yu guessed that he was going looking for Shen Nian’s body. He silently hugged Chu Sheng and closed his eyes to examine the faint red light inside his body. His mood was complicated.
After Shen Nian had helped him leave Mausoleum Ruins ahead of time, his spirit had become weak and he had sunk into a deep sleep. Shen Nian’s soul had been drifting around in the Mausoleum Ruins for a long time, therefore it had sustained a lot of damage. Shen Nian did not remember his past but always remembered that there was someone important to him in Tian Yuan Sect. Therefore, he asked about the recent developments regarding the Tian Yuan sect while they were together in the Mausoleum Ruins.
It was too bad that Shen had forgotten this important person’s name and Tian Yuan Sect had also changed a lot in the past hundred years. If not, after ten years of working with him, how would Chu Yu have been so slow that he did not realize that Shen’s important person was his own teacher, Lu Qingan.
By the time Lu Qingan came back, Chu Sheng had calmed down and properly put away Chu Shuangtian’s corpse. Madam Chu also returned to the soul jade that Chu Shuangtian was still wearing.
Lu Qingan shouldwearing.
Lu Qingan should have found Shen Nian’s corpse. Probably due to the influence of Chu Shuanghe’s earlier words, the expression on his face wasn’t very good as he looked down into the water in the lake.
Chu Yu was hesitating about whether to tell Lu Qingan his thoughts when he suddenly realized that the water in lake actually reflected only Lu Qingan’s image.
Xie Xi was also at the edge of the lakesh.o.r.e but the water did not show his reflection.
A strange expression suddenly appeared on Chu Yu’s face at this unexpected phenomena. He glanced at Xie Xi subconsciously.
…The lake only shows the reflections of the palace and Lu Qingan?
No matter how close two friends were, could brotherly love be so extreme that there was only room for Lu Qingan in his heart?
Shen Nian had someone very important to him who was with the Tian Yuan sect. This person was sure enough extremely important to him.3
****! It seems that he has discovered a very serious and troublesome affair!
Chu Yu’s brow trembled as he looked at Lu Qingan silently. The night sky was vast, the stars were s.h.i.+ning brightly. Although Lu Qingan looked cold and his eyes seemed indifferent, it was clear that this was a bleak and desolate silence.
