Chereads / The Great Prodigy Master of Mystic Qi / Chapter 3 - Respect the Dead

Chapter 3 - Respect the Dead

In three days, Xiao Feng woke up and recovered in a month. As the doctor said, Xiao Feng's wound became a scar. He wasn't depressed as expected.

Xiao Lei visited Xiao Feng who was about to go somewhere.

"Where are you going?"

"To the burial grounds."

The thought of burial grounds reminded Xiao Lei what day it is. It's the death anniversary for Su Mei.

"Do you still love her?"

Xiao Feng froze. He is still longing for her. Su Mei was his childhood sweetheart but she died after having involved into the revenge of Hu Xue Yan.

Xiao Lei noticed himself as off limits and dismissed himself.

Xiao Feng carried his pouch on his waist and left to the burial grounds. The grounds were located near the mountains, thus, it may be exhausting.

He first visited his mother then Su Mei. Xiao Feng sat down near Su Mei's tomb and talked to her.

"Mei'er, I'm still reminded of what happened before. I regret it and admit that everything is my fault. I shouldn't have offended them."

["Elders, I want my engagement to be cancelled."]

He had a flashback. Xiao Feng didn't want to marry Hu Changying as he met Su Mei.

His close friend, Hu Xue Yan, couldn't agree with it. Likewise, he misunderstood Xiao Feng. His sister had admired him ever since Xiao Feng helped her.

Though Xiao Feng tried to fall in love with Hu Changying. It was impossible. Their marriage was planned by one of the elders of the Xiao Family to destroy his reputation.

Xiao Feng released a sigh and pulled out the ring that his mother left him. He observed it and curiously wore it.

For a while nothing happened but suddenly the ring shined and made an explosion. Before Xiao Feng could react, he saw a man. He was opaque and old-looking.

The old man looked side by side and noticed Xiao Feng. He coughed.

"I'm a genie in a ring. Do you have a wish to be granted?"

"Hey old man, stop fooling me. There's no creature in this world that is called a genie instead of a ghost."

Dong He laughed.

"Anyways, the name is Dong He. I take you as my disciple and you take me as your master."

Xiao Feng heard his name somewhere but he couldn't remember it. He stared at him suspiciously. 'He looks sus.'

Dong He didn't take in mind the curiosity but he couldn't believe that Xiao Feng doesn't recognize him.

Xiao Feng looked at him head to toe and noticed Dong He is above Su Mei's tomb.

"Old man, please respect the dead."

Dong He was confused until he looked down. He moved to the other side where he's above grass.

"Stop calling me old man!"

"Then, master?"

He nods. Dong He wanted Xiao Feng to acknowledge him as his mother left the responsibility to him.

Unexpectedly, it became quiet.

"Do you know the history of the Great Huang Bloodline?"

The Great Huang Bloodline is the clan of the great masters. History always had a Huang, thus, this clan is influencial and respected. Supposedly, Xiao Feng is connected with the Huangs.
