Chapter 1252 - Taking a Disciple
When Xiao Luo rose to her feet, a crisp cracking sound echoed from her body as her bones lengthened rapidly. Only moments earlier, she had looked like a child, yet in the blink of an eye, she became a young maiden.
Although her features still suggested she was fourteen or fifteen, her figure was already tall and shapely. The softness of her voice vanished; the last traces of youth stripped themselves away, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.
"What a breathtaking girl! Her parents must be exceptionally blessed in appearance," He Yingwu exclaimed, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"Her father was the handsomest man on Cyan Origin Star, and her mother the most beautiful woman there," Old Blindie said, wiping tears from the corner of his eyes.
"I see!" He Yingwu said with a nod, no longer surprised by Xiao Luo's beauty.
"Senior, where are her parents now?" Liu Wuxie asked. From what he could tell, Xiao Luo and Old Blindie had depended only on each other.
The moment someone mentioned Xiao Luo's parents, murderous intent erupted from Old Blindie. The force of it shook the courtyard; dust rose from stone benches, flowers, and trees. The intensity of his killing aura revealed the depth of his grief.
"Big Brother, my parents were killed," Xiao Luo said sadly. Though still young, she understood enough about their fate.
The courtyard fell silent; a long time passed before Old Blindie finally calmed himself.
"Young Master Liu, no words can express my gratitude. Please accept the bow of this old man—my life belongs to you from this day forth," Old Blindie declared. He vowed that if Liu Wuxie could heal his granddaughter, his life would belong to Liu Wuxie.
"Senior, you're being too serious. It's nothing—there's no need for such a ceremony," Liu Wuxie said, supporting Old Blindie upright. In his heart, he was overjoyed.
"Xiao Luo, come here!" Old Blindie commanded. Once he made up his mind, he never wavered.
