The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 63 — Conversation between Sect Chief and Lian Haocun
It was only after that that Chao Bence realized that they did not have any magic transportation tools nor any teleportation talismans. Chao Bence reminded Lian Haocun,
“We don't have any magic transport tools.”
Lian Haocun nodded and intended to say something, before Chao Bence suddenly spoke again,
“Wait... Your teacher gave me a storage ring. Maybe inside there is a magic transportation tool or teleportation talisman.”
Lian Haocun felt his chest slightly tightened and the complicated emotions he had already suppressed burst forth. Ten-year-old little Lian Haocun looked at Lian Huanran's rather ugly face, her eyes were red from crying and she looked very tired. But looking at Lian Huanran, Lian Haocun slowly managed to control her emotions.
‘True... In this life I have family and responsibility to protect it.’ Inner Lian Haocun and his determination to become stronger increased again.
Chao Bence quickly searched the entire storage ring room and found that there was a lot of things in the storage ring to the point that the vast storage ring space became overcrowded. There were some items that Chao Bence was familiar with and familiar with their uses, but there were also some items that were not. It was not long before Chao Bence discovered a total of twenty teleportation talismans. Then he took out a single teleportation talisman from the storage ring.
Since Lian Haocun was holding Lian Huanran, Lian Huanran would also be teleported when the teleportation talisman was used. So they only needed one teleportation talisman. Chao Bence transformed his human form into a small magical beast and entered the hems of Lian Haocun's outer robe. Then Lian Haocun used a teleportation talisman towards the Blue Sky Sect.
Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran who was still unconscious and Chao Bence soon arrived somewhere in the Blue Sky Sect. The place has natural beauty, but there are no people around the place. The place is so quiet and soothing. Chao Bence changed his form into a human form again. Then Lian Haocun handed Lian Huanran over to Chao Bence's sling very carefully.
Lian Haocun, “You go back to the Pavilion first. Don't be seen by people. I'm going to the Sect Chief's place.”
Chao Bence nodded and held Lian Huanran tight enough to make sure she would not fall. Then he jumped onto the rooftops of the houses in the Blue Sky Sect as easily as walking on the ground.
Lian Haocun watched over Chao Bence until he disappeared from sight, then walked to the Blue Sky Sect Hall, where Bao Fen was usually located. The two guards stationed to guard the Hall of the Blue Sky Sect who had previously taken a leave of absence for a while, were on duty again. The guard immediately recognized Lian Haocun and allowed him to enter even though in the mind of the guard, he had thousands of questions. Especially in the absence of the existence of Shen Wenhuan who usually accompanied his students.
‘What Elder Shen injured?’ Thought one of the guards was holding a spear.
Lian Haocun entered the hall of the Blue Sky Sect. Bao Fen looked somewhat surprised by the guest he had not expected, but his facial expression had not changed much. Lian Haocun walked towards Bao Fen, then he bowed his back while placing his hands on his clenched fists.
“Murid Lian Haocun salutes Sect Leader.” Said Lian Haocun emotionlessly while staring at the carpet.
Bao Fen nodded his head and walked down from his throne seat. Then he patted Lian Haocun's shoulder slowly. Lian Haocun straightened his back which looked very short compared to the somewhat aged Bao Fen. Then Bao Fen led Lian Haocun to the table and told Lian Haocun to sit down.
Bao Fen did not mince words and asked, “What happened?”
Lian Haocun replied emotionlessly while suppressing the feelings that again began to rage in his heart, “Teacher taken, his circumstances and whereabouts are unknown.”
Bao Fen had already guessed a little when he saw Lian Haocun coming alone. But hearing it directly is still shocking. Bao Fen rubbed his forehead which started to shrivel. Bao Fen suppressed the disbelief and complicated emotions in his heart and began to ask about the chronology of his incident to Lian Haocun.
Entering the final part of the explanation, Bao Fen kicked the table to show a very strong sense of shock.
Unknowingly Bao Fen raised the volume of his voice, “What did you say?!”
Lian Haocun repeated his last words, “The person who took the Teacher is Demon General Baran Yangzuo, Demon Zodiac General Aries.”
Bao Fen's calm expression collapsed in an instant. He tried to calm down but his slightly trembling fingers showed a very strong panic. Lian Haocun without sympathy and empathy added a punch to Bao Fen.
“I want to get out of Blue Sky Sect.”
Bao Fen tried to suppress the panic in his heart because of the demon race and said, “You sure?”
After all Lian Haocun was a very talented young generation. It is a great pride for the Blue Sky Sect to have a member with a talent of ‘monster’. Bao Fen felt unwilling Lian Haocun came out of the Blue Sky Sect. So Bao Fen put aside the matter of the demon race starting to invade back for a moment and used various means to persuade Lian Haocun to stay.
Lian Haocun did not change his decision under the constant persuasion of Bao Fen. Bao Fen could only let out a heavy and long sigh, then tried to let Lian Haocun go. After all Bao Fen could not force Lian Haocun.
Bao Fen asked him the question he wanted to ask the most, “Will Lian Huanran also come out?”
Bao Fen only asked in hopes that Lian Huanran would stay. Even though he was already feeling very pessimistic with his answer. But without Bao Fen guessing, Lian Haocun shook his head.
“No know. I'll ask you later.”
The hope in Bao Fen's heart rose but he suppressed his pleasure by clearing his throat slowly and changing the subject to become a Demon General. Then after getting all the information, Lian Haocun was allowed to leave.
...****************...
While at the Orange Sky Pavilion, Lian Huanran who had already regained consciousness from his stupor, lowered his head listened to the story from Chao Bence. It was unknown what kind of emotions were in his eyes and heart.
Chao Bence, “So... You know it's not... Your brother didn't mean it that way.”
Lian Huanran wanted to deny but her words got stuck in her throat. The rational Lian Huanran knew that indeed his older brother would definitely act that way. But his heart was in turmoil because his Master, who had accompanied and guided him for ten years, was brought by the Demon General, so he thought irrational.
Chao Bence observed Lian Huanran's reaction and sighed inwardly.
‘I didn't expect, that very jolly boy, very stubborn.’ Inner Chao Bence.
