The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 66 — "Want to Be Stronger"
Lian Haocun predicted that Lian Huanran's mind right now must be in a state of turmoil and filled with emotion. The expression on Lian Huanran's face became somewhat gloomy.
This was only one day after Shen Wenhuan disappeared. So it was only natural that Lian Huanran still could not fully accept it. But unfortunately Lian Haocun who has gone through one tragic life is someone who will always be rational and level-headed in every situation.
Although Lian Haocun's unfamiliar emotions possessed her, Lian Haocun was still able to control and confine those emotions. So that he can make the best decision according to him in a very short time. But because of her mindset, Lian Haocun also could not fully understand the sadness and emotional feelings of her twin sister, Lian Huanran.
Lian Haocun explained, “The reason why Big Brother has to become stronger is so that Big Brother can find Master,”
‘And to protect you... Although only from behind the scenes.’ Lian Haocun continued in his mind.
“Despite the war between the human race and the demon race, with Big Brother's cultivation level and ability now, Big Brother will only be a burden. So are you... And we can't continue to rely on Chao Bence to protect us. Does Huanran understand?”
Lian Haocun's last sentence contained a stiff helplessness and tenderness. Lian Huanran felt very surprised to hear Lian Haocun's explanation.
After all he had never thought that far, plus he was just a ten-year-old child who had yet to clearly recognize the cruelty of the world.
Until he could not even make the best decision nor think of what kind of impact the demon race would give. Moreover, the events that had befallen him recently had him severely beaten and lost his rationality of thinking.
With great difficulty Lian Huanran nodded. Lian Haocun who saw Lian Huanran's reaction, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Lian Haocun asked,
“So...., do you want to come with Brother?”
Lian Huanran thought for a few minutes that felt like years for Lian Haocun. The atmosphere was filled with tension that could break at any moment.
Lian Huanran clenched his hands tightly and his previously gloomy eyes, were now filled with determination.
Lian Huanran replied, “I'll come with Brother. Sorry, earlier... Huanran thinks badly of Sister.”
‘I will definitely bring back Master!’ Inner Lian Huanran who found a new purpose.
Lian Haocun felt a heavy burden on his shoulders come loose. While Chao Bence who had been standing at the entrance, stepped in and broke the already improved atmosphere,
“You know, little boy... I thought you were really going to reject your Brother's offer and stay in this useless Sect.”
Lian Huanran immediately denied, “This sect is not a useless sect!”
'Your focus is completely wrong.., little boy.’ Thought Chao Bence who was in a good mood.
After all if he had to travel alone together with Lian Haocun, perhaps he would only be a statue that could only remain silent in an icy atmosphere. So Chao Bence was relieved to hear Lian Huanran's decision. Until he felt more excited.
Lian Huanran's mood increased slowly due to the debate with Chao Bence. With that debate, Lian Huanran was able to release the stress that was stored in his mind. So that his heart became more relieved and his mind became clearer than before.
Lian Haocun waited until the two people who were arguing were quite fierce, stopping arguing. As if Lian Huanran had just realized the whereabouts of her Brother which she had neglected, Lian Huanran said,
Lian Haocun replied with his trademark tone, “No... We should talk about our itinerary.”
Lian Huanran who had calmed himself down from the debate with Chao Bence, sat quietly on the spot while putting on a listening stance. While Chao Bence remained standing near Lian Huanran with both arms folded in front of the chest. So did Bai and Cheng who were sitting sweetly at the table without making a sound.
Lian Haocun said, “It would be better for a place for closed training to be in a place that is dense with Spiritual Qi and has a threatening danger. Chao Bence, do you know of a place in the Afer Continent that is characterized as such?”
Chao Bence replied with an aura of arrogance pouring out from him, “Sure, I know. I've explored almost every place in the Afer.” Continent
Then Chao Bence continued his words, “The place is named Beredo. This place is located within a mountain range. The quality and quantity of Spiritual Qi there was very good. Naturally, this place was also very suitable for training and seeking combat experience.
And better yet, this place is no host. It's just that this place very few people know, yes even though I don't think it's too bad. For more details I will explain later. You just need to know that this is the perfect place for closed training.”
At the same time, Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran nodded their heads.
Lian Haocun thanked Chao Bence and asked Lian Huanran to take care of all the items he needed to bring. Chao Bence remained in Lian Huanran's room while chattering about many things. While Bai and Cheng who did not know what to do could only follow Lian Huanran who was cleaning her things.
When Lian Huanran was tidying up his things, Lian Haocun surrounded the Blue Sky Sect before leaving. Nostalgic while remembering some memories.
The Blue Sky Sect held many memories for the two twin brothers Lian, especially Lian Huanran. After all since birth, they had already stayed in the Blue Sky Sect.
After Lian Huanran finished tidying up her things and stored them in the storage ring. Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran, Chao Bence who was in the form of a small snake as usual followed by Bai and little Cheng headed towards the hall of the Blue Sky Sect. With the intention to meet the Sect Leader, Bao Fen and check the mana level of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran.
The two guards who were on guard, recognized them and let them in. Although in the minds of the two guards, there were various questions, but they managed to maintain an expressionless face and did not ask anything.
Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran, who were followed by Bai and Cheng, bowed and placed their hands on their fists to pay their respects. While saying, “Murid Lian Haocun/Lian Huanran pays respect to Sect Leader.”
Bao Fen looked at his guest and sighed sadly and heavily inwardly.
“The Blue Sky Sect will lose two of their most talented disciples.., very sad.” Bao Fen said, trying to draw sympathy and make the two men overturn their decision. Although Bao Fen did not really seriously want to do it.
Lian Huanran lowered his head and felt his heart filled with complicated emotions and guilt. So he did not dare to look at Bao Fen. Bao Fen noticed Lian Huanran's behavior and sighed before saying,
“Huanran... If you've decided something you shouldn't be that easy to falter. Then at least before you come out of the Blue Sky Sect, face me bravely and guiltlessly... Your teacher would want the same thing too.”
Lian Huanran was stunned by Bao Fen's words. So Lian Huanran felt like crying. Listening to Bao Fen's words, Lian Huanran raised his head back.
Bao Fen smiled faintly even though he felt sad, lost and a very unfortunate feeling in his heart.
Bao Fen learned that he did not deserve to interfere in their decision. So at least Bao Fen wanted to create a good impression before the two of them left.
“So, is there anything you want?” Bao Fen asked from his throne seat.
