Chapter 6: Taken Away
The middle-aged man in pristine robes eyed the two Zi siblings intensely. He slowly walked toward them and crouched down once he got close enough to place a hand on their shoulders.
“I’m Chen Hao Ming, an elder from the Clear Heart Sect. I’m sorry for coming too late. I may have taken care of that demonic cultivator, but your father has already passed on.” The middle-aged man spoke out in a soft and feminine tone.
The siblings visibly flinched at the news, but Zi Xi recollected himself instantly and stepped forward. He clasped his fist and bowed towards the elder.
“Thank you for saving us, Elder Chen. We owe you our lives.”
Zi Xiao Mei didn’t have her brother’s composure and instead ran out toward the body of her father. More tears fell down her cheeks, as if a dam had broken.
Li Lang breathed in deeply to contain his emotions while he carefully watched the elder who had suddenly appeared.
What are the chances he makes such a dramatic entrance? I say this guy was here the entire time and only stepped in when convenient.
Despite Li Lang’s misgivings, there wasn’t anything he could do, nor did he have any proof, so he took to the background.
“No need for thanks, child. We have to leave quickly before more demonic cultivators have any ideas about the unique physique you two possess. Quickly say your farewells to your father.”
Having heard the elder’s words, Zi Xiao Mei’s cry intensified. “It’s all my fault, father! I’m sorry!”
Zi Xi grimaced at the scene and made his way over to hug his sister. For a while, nothing but their heartbreaking cries could be heard.
“I’m sorry, children, but there is no more time. You will have to mourn later. We must depart now.” The Clear Heart elder reminded.
