Pausing for a moment, she continued. “By the way, how are your injuries?”
“Not a problem.” Yun Luofeng stretched and slowly stood up. “Hong Luan, bid farewell to your father and we’ll leave after that.”
Hong Luan stiffened, and she slightly dropped her eyes. A helpless smile quirked on her lips.
“Yun Luofeng, although my father treats me well, I will never forget how my mother died. Unless my mother can somehow be revived, I will never sincerely forgive him…”
Actually, Hong Ling’s change during this period had caused Hong Luan to waver. The only thing she did not forgive him for was her mother’s death! Her mother’s death was something she could never forget, and if it were unable to be reversed, it would be hard for her to forgive!
“Say, Yun Luofeng, do you think the underworld exists?” Hong Luan raised her head, with her gaze looking straight at the young lady. “If the underworld exists, I will definitely force my way in and fetch my mother out!” Yun Luofeng patted Hong Luan’s shoulders and comforted her soundlessly.
After a long time, she slowly said. “I’ll wait for an hour. After that, we shall set off.”
“Alright.” It was unknown how long it would be before she returned and she ought to bid farewell to her father.
In the room, the man stood with his hands behind his back, with his back facing the door. Perhaps sensing that Hong Luan was about to leave, he was uneasy the entire day. Suddenly, the door was pushed open by a lily-white hand, as a gorgeous lady in red appeared at the entrance.
“Father…” She softly called, having an endless number of words she wanted to say.
The middle-aged man stiffened and slowly turned. His dignified appearance softened after seeing his daughter.
“Luan’er, I will wait for you here. Waiting for you to prove that you’re correct and I’m wrong.”
Hong Luan nodded her head seriously. “I will prove to you that by not relying on any relations, I can accomplish great feats!”
“Haha.” Hong Ling laughed heartily. “This is how my daughter should be, never letting your father down. Alright, you should leave with Yun Luofeng. She’s not simple, and perhaps by following her, both of you will wander the world and accomplish great feats.”
Between the parting of father and daughter, no one mentioned any emotional conversation. Hong Luan took a last glance at the middle-aged man and turned to leave.
After her departure, the smile on the middle-aged man’s face slowly disappeared. At this moment, he seemed to have aged tens of years, and his initially straight back had gradually hunched…
“Perhaps I’ve really erred too much these years, but I think one thing I did right was for my daughter to be born! Luan’er, no matter if you hate me or blame me, I will hand the East Province to you in the best possible state…”
Within the entire study room, what replied to him was silence.
Walking out the study room, tears suddenly flowed down from Hong Luan’s eyes. She wiped her tears and looked at the tightly shut doors while her expression slowly became resolute.
“Father, after I’ve accomplished great feats, I will definitely return triumphant!”
Yun Luofeng was already waiting for Hong Luan at the gates. After Hong Luan appeared, she did not ask anything, merely saying with indifference, “After bidding farewell, it’s time for us to leave.”
Hong Luan pursed her lips and faintly smiled. “Alright.”
…
Spirit Province, Jun Family.
The middle-aged man sat on the chair in the study room while looking at the book in his hand with a headache. He rubbed his aching temple and sighed. “Where have Master and Ling’er run off to? Both of them are sure free and unrestrained yet throwing this huge Jun Family to me to manage.”
