King of the lights came and ignited its brightness to the world that's full of darkness.
"Chen'er! Chen'er!"
Lei Chen acted that he was awakened by the lady's loud voice shouting his name while running towards their house. That lady's voice was familiar to him, it was his Aunt Ling.
("He should be here to bring the news of Chu Gan's death.") Lei Chen, smile for a bit then pretend did not know what's happening.
"Chen'er!"
The woman named Ling is already at their door and when she went inside, she tried to see any unusual thing. However, she failed to see one, so she thinks that Lei Chen did not have any connection to the massacre.
(" Hahaha, It's flawless right? even a person with high cultivation will have a difficulty finding for any evidence.") He is laughing in his mind because of the reaction of his Aunt Ling.
"Aunt Ling! good morning, what's going on? even your still far away, you were shouting my name, If we do have a neighbor probably they will gonna throw their chamber pot at you." Joke by Lei Chen to his aunt Ling.
"Silly Child! haha, we were just worried about you and your mom, it's already confirmed that the people in Chu Gan's residence have been massacred! All of them had died with a finger hole on their head or pierced on their heart. However, Chu Gan's death is different from others, his head was detached from his body and his dantian has destroyed. Not only that the city soldiers who want to imprison your mom died as well and they were also killed brutally."
"What?! All of them had died?" This time he is really surprised to hear the news. He did not know not who those city soldiers are, also he did not know who killed them so he set aside that case and focused on the Chu family issue.
("It seems Chu Family is not as simple as it could be, this Chu Gan might have a high position. If not, then they will not gonna be this enrage to the point of killing all the people in the residence and even disregard the power of City Lord, I really cause turmoil but he deserves it. This time I must lay low for a bit.")
"Was there any suspect?"
Lei Chen is also curious about who murder those people.
"Yeah, according to some witness they saw an old man around 67 years old flying away from the residence. I bet the Imperial Army already knows the culprit, they just hide the murderer because they were afraid of him. But the one who killed those city soldiers, there is still no clue who did it. "
(" My guess is right, the killer must be very close to Chu Gan.") " This must be a retribution to them, maybe they offended a wrong person."
After hearing the news, Lei Chen and his aunt Ling went inside Changying's room.
"Yes, probably. So, how about your mother? did she wakes up already?"
Lei Chen's countenance turns sad again, Ling already knows the answer.
(" Power and Connection! I must get it. To protect my mother and gather information, I must have a connection.")
That what's on Lei Chen's think right now.
"Aunt Ling, I'm looking for a new house in the city but in the meantime is it okay to stay in your house?"
"That's great! There's no problem, however, you know what!? I've already bought a new house for you and your mom a long time ago. It's been ages telling your mom to move to that house to be more convenient for you and her but she keeps on insisting to stay here."
("Probably, mother thinking of my condition at that time. She doesn't want me to be bullied or get envy from my previous acquaintances.") " Thank you, Aunt Ling, this will be a great help for us." Lei Chen bow to his aunt ling as thanks.
After an hour,
Lei Chen was stretching his back, he cleaned every corner of their new house. While he is in the middle of cleaning, he heard the system, and a new quest was made.
[ Quest: Rescue the two runaway and be your helper. The reward will be two manuals and 300 HP but 0 XP. ]
"Hmm? come to think of it, it has been a while huh!? is it your birthday today?! the prize was awesome!."
He is waiting for the response of the system but it's been already a minute of silence.
"Well, whatever."
After he cleaned the house, Lei Chen strolls outside to complete the quest.
He was walking casually in the street and also trying to familiarize the place. The Sun Town is much livelier than the Seasons Town, his hometown. There are more people on the street, selling some goods. He is whistling and singing while walking.
"Just sightseeing in the park... Without money... La, la,la.
Just sightseeing in the park... Without money... La, la, la la"
Even though Lei Chen is casually walking while singing, he still uses his spiritual Qi. Suddenly he detected a presence of strong Qi when he searched the origin of this Qi, he discovered that it's coming from the beggar. It was middle-aged man along with a young man who's younger than him by 6 years, the boy is around 10-11 years old. Since Lei Chen is around 17 years old now.
Those beggars are sitting in the streets begging for a little food on every people who are passing by. The middle-aged man has a pale face but had a well-built body, it just that, the beggar only has one arm left.
Whenever someone gives them a bun the middle-aged man will give it to
the young man with him.
When the middle age man saw Lei Chen is approaching, he wears a big smile and walk towards him then tried to beg for food. Lei Chen paused for a minute and face the middle-aged man then he said.
"They say that you will do whatever that is, just for the sake of your loved ones. I guess it's really true, because even a dignified noble like you, chose to beg, just for his son's sake. However, would you want to do this for the rest of your life? and ignore the vengeance yearning of your heart.?"
The middle-aged man shakes his head and still wearing a smile. "Hahaha, senior you must be mistaken me for someone, I'm just a lowly beggar. Not a dignified noble you mention."
Lei Chen laughs at the denial of the middle-aged man. " haha, I will wait for you in an hour in this place." Lei Chen gives the location of their new house. "Look for me if you still want to use your own foot to rise and smashed them."
The middle-aged countenance change while looking at the fading silhouette of Lei Chen, then he checks at the map he got from Lei Chen and glance to his son who is emerged in eating the bun.
