The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Jin'er!" Xu Rou couldn't contain herself any longer and immediately rushed towards his son. Her eyes were filled with worry, "Are you alright?"

Though for her, her son looked like he was just okay, what if he had a hidden injury? She didn't even know what happened and what did he suffer.

"Mother, I'm okay." Jin Rou's cold face could no longe be seen as it was filled now with warmth, "Your son is strong. How can I be injured so easily?"

In actuality, he was truly injured severely a while ago. But thanks to his master, when his strength increased, the injuries faded away as if they were not there.

Then, Yanlu Rou and her husband walked over and hugged Jin Rou, clearly saying how much he had worried them and Fan Rou who have him a fist bump. As a father, Fan Rou felt that it was no longer appropriate to hug his son. Of course, he was overthinking it and his son actually didn't mind.

Soon, the little talk ended and the family chose to go back home first and settle everything there, together with Syni Su.

Dan Rou watched these events unfold and smiled. He was currently hidden in his space without anyone noticing his presence. He had been watching all this time. But, he didn't dare to show his presence. He felt like it was better this way. Unless the family faced a catastrophe they couldn't handle, then he wouldn't mind show himself and help. But this time around, it wasn't actually necessary. After seeing them gone, he sighed in his heart and disappeared as well. He was returning to where he truly belong.

Jin Rou knew that his uncle had a reason for this. So, he didn't stop him and let him be.

"What..." Syni Su pale from the terrible news she received from Yanlu Rou, "How is that possible...? My mother isn't weak to be killed just like that!"

Yanlu Rou sighed while looking down. She felt extremely guilty as what happened to Keisa Su, "I know your mother is very strong. But her opponent is very strong too, capable of fighting her shoulder to shoulder. Even your father has seen the fight, so I don't dare to lie to you."

"…" Syni Su was speechless. She didn't expect that her mother would die here. It was a terrible loss for her and she felt like her world was so cruel to her. She tried to force back her tears because it wasn't the right place to do so and asked, "Where is my father?"

Jin Rou also felt saddened. This news was so bad that if he were in her position, he would choose probably not to hear it.

"I don't know where your father is. But he is carrying your mother when he walked away." Yanlu Rou said, "How about this, I will dispatch my people to find your father and inform him of your safety arrival here."

They were currently in the dining room of the palace and there were generals standby outside. So the command could be easily passed through.

However, the shut twin door opened suddenly and a cold voice rang their ears, "No need to find me. I'm here."

Everyone looked to the source of the voice. Syni Su jumped up and hugged the person and said, "Dad!"

This time, Syni Su could no longer hold it back and cried her mourning tears. Shila Su felt heartbroken seeing his daughter like this. But all he could do was caress her hair as comfort. Even he was brokenhearted and didn't know what to do, so what could he possibly do?

The Rou family watched this with indescribable expressions. They feel so guilty that this happened to the Su family. For sure, now, their friendship would be stained bad if lucky. But worst, their friendship would be over. Having one of their family members wasn't a joke that they could swallow.

"We're going back home." When Syni Su stopped crying, he said softly and said, "We need to go back home as quickly as possible as your grandparents are already worrying about you a lot."

Syni Su didn't answer but it clearly indicated that she agreed.

Shila Su looked at Yanlu Rou with a cold voice and spoke once again, "Thank you for your kind hospitality. But we are living."

"..." Yanlu Rou could hear the mockery and sarcasm in and other party's words. But what could she do? They lost a very important person of their life. They needed someone to catch the blame so that they would be appeased. But she still managed to say, "Please take care. And my deepest condolence for your loss."

Shila Su and Syni Su finally disappeared. Jin Rou wanted to at least say goodbye to her since he didn't know when would they meet once again. But he didn't manage to do so. It was also like Syni Su didn't care at all, so he was left with no choice.

Lao Rou couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Such a mess that these devils done this time around. Though we won the battle against them, I feel like we will also lose the connection to the Su family."

"Father, whatever predestined will eventually happen." Fan Rou said, "If they would cut off their friendship because of this, then we can't do anything about it."

He was telling his father to move on and stop stressing himself with this matter. After all, it already happened and it was already too late to try to mend the broken things.

Yanlu Rou silently agreed. Since it came to this, they just needed to prepare for the Su family's retaliation if ever. But she wasn't worrying too much. After all, her grandson had already surpassed so many strong people! Who would dare to bully their family with a universal law here?

Just then, a knight from outside suddenly appeared and knelt down in front of the family and shouted, "Reporting, Your Majesties."

"Speak." Yanlu Rou felt that something not right was going to happen.

"A member of the Court Council wants to request audience to the Rou family." It was clear and loud. Yanlu Rou was right. And her eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
