Chapter 1054: Causes and Consequences 4
Feng Qingxue felt a bit embarrassed and withdrew her hand, "Stop saying the same thing over and over, what’s there to thank among family? Tianjun and Tianzhi, they are my children. Hurry up and eat, let’s see if Shan Xiazhe left anything behind."
Lu Jiang was worried about her leaving, and she was just as concerned about suddenly leaving herself.
"Alright!"
After they finished lunch and rested for a moment, they got up and hit the road.
Shan Xiazhe secluded himself in a nearby mountain village, which was especially remote and scarcely populated. After the founding of the country, most of the villagers had moved to other villages, with only Shan Xiazhe living in a cave.
"How did you know he lives here? My uncle didn’t mention it at the time." At the entrance to the cave, Feng Qingxue asked with curiosity.
"I was very mischievous as a child, giving my parents as much trouble as Xibao does now, and I was beaten quite often for it. Hearing the elders talk about Shan Xiazhe’s abilities, I became curious, so I came looking for him. I was ten that year, and I came with my elder brother behind our parents’ backs. Of course, my brother must have been curious too. He came to ask Shan Xiazhe about his marriage prospects. Shan Xiazhe looked at my brother and sighed deeply, saying that his fate was to die young with no chance of redemption. My brother didn’t believe him and pushed me forward instead."
Lu Jiang had not thought about the past for a long time, and it was only upon hearing Shan Xiazhe’s pronouncement about his family that he remembered this episode.
Feng Qingxue was stunned, "You’ve met Shan Xiazhe? What did he tell you? I’ve never heard you mention it."
