Touching his bag, Shi 'er's eyes were filled with hesitation and also a sense of being placed in a tough spot.
From the Imperial Capital to the nearest Harbor City was close to ten thousand miles. When he reached there, he might not be able to meet the cloud ships from Donglin Cloud Continent.
Not only was he short of money, but the long journey was also extremely dangerous.
It was said that the Taishang wasn't peaceful. It seemed like some aristocratic families were prepared to revolt …
Shaking his head, Shi 'er tossed such thoughts out of his mind.
He continued to walk home, hesitating slightly before buying two more meat buns.
He didn't know what to do in the future and where to make a living. However, his mother hadn't eaten meat for several months. How could a sick person only have some light porridge every day? How could he endure it?
However, if he did that, he would probably be scolded by his mother.
Shi 'er shook his head and smiled helplessly. Moments later, he entered a dirty and smelly alley.
He was totally distracted, pretty much following the memories of his body as he walked back home.
However, when Shi 'er walked to the door, he was startled.
In front of him was a luxuriously dressed teen who was standing in front of the door.
He was seven to eight years older than him. Who knows what material his clothes were made of, but they shone brightly. It seemed that they were even more noble than the young masters of the scholar's mansion who had hired him before.
His face was also squarish and had a smile on his face. It was bright and sunny, but also filled with evil intent.
Looking at Shi 'er, a look of surprise flashed across the teen's eyes.
"You are called Shi 'er? You live here! "
"This is my home!"
Shi 'er didn't know what was going on, "My surname is indeed Shi. May I ask why did you come here to find me?"
His eyes passed this person and looked into the room. Shi 'er's pupils constricted, the meat bun in his hand fell to the ground.
He saw that on the bed. A woman's body was lying on her back. It was really quiet, so quiet that there was no sound at all!
That was his mother …
His only family in the world, she gave birth to him and raised him, they depended on each other!
It was like lightning exploded in his head, he didn't know what to do. Everything was fine in the morning, but in just half a day, they were already separated forever?
She felt two streams of warmth on her cheeks. Shi Er used his hand to wipe his face. Only then did he realize that even before he felt sad, his face was already covered in tears.
Actually, he had long thought that his mother might not be able to survive this winter, but he did not expect it to be so early.
I shouldn't have gone to the Scholar's Mansion today! Perhaps if he came back earlier, he would still be able to see his mother.
He didn't bother about that noble young master anymore. Shi 'er was stunned as he walked in front of the bed and knelt down. Then, she looked at her mother's face in a daze. She didn't say a word as she cried silently.
Men have tears, only because they have not yet been grieved.
The young man in luxurious clothes sighed and walked behind Shi Er. He was silent for a long time, waiting for a full fifteen minutes. After Shi 'er calmed down, he spoke once more.
"My name is Shi Yue, you can call me uncle!"
"Shi Yue? Uncle? "
Shi Er raised his eyebrows in surprise and turned around. He then realized something, "Are you from the Shi Family of the Imperial Capital?"
Although he used a questioning tone, his eyes showed that he was certain. Between his words, there was also a sense of distance.
"What a smart kid!"
Shiyue smiled, "It is the Shi Family. Your father is Shi Tao, he is my Big Brother!"
He reached out and touched Shi 'er's head. However, the teen instinctively avoided it. Shiyue was startled and then broke into a laugh, "Don't blame your father. There was a reason for the mother and son matter! Today, your mother contacted me and only then did your Third Uncle know that you were here. "
Shi 'er kept silent and didn't speak.
Shiyue frowned and then explained expressionlessly, "Big Brother was deeply in love with your mother. Unfortunately, she came from Jingyin Sect, one of the Three Sects and Six Schools of Cang Shengdao. She was careless and her identity was found out. Your mother didn't want to drag him down which was why she left. Forget it, even if I tell you all this, you probably won't understand! "
Shaking his head, Shi Yue once again touched Shi 'er's head. This time the teen didn't dodge.
"Anyway, Shi 'er, you just need to know that your father didn't let you down. He had no choice! You have no one to rely on and can't be alone. Since your mother entrusted you to me, then whether you are willing or not. I won't sit still and watch my Shi Family bloodline wander outside! From now on, you are part of my Shi Family, my nephew. "
His tone was firm and there was no way for him to reject.
Shi 'er thought about it for a moment but didn't reply. Instead, he turned around and looked at his mother's corpse on the bed.
"Shi 'er wants to bury my mother first!"
He felt a wave of sadness in his heart. If only there was no one behind him. Without him, he couldn't even pay for his mother's burial.
Shiyue looked on and smiled in gratification. This nephew was really filial and he really liked him.
What was his martial arts talent like? The Shi Family was a general family and led troops for generations. There wasn't anyone who didn't cultivate martial arts.
Since Shi 'er entered this sect, naturally, he was no exception.
A trace of Qi entered from the top of his head. It flowed through his limbs and bones. Moments later, his face was filled with a weird expression.
This was the Combat Martial Body? Xuan Spirit Treasure Body?
He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and retracted his hand.
"Shi 'er, you are ranked second in the third generation of our Shi Family. However, you can't use that as your name. Uncle will take over today. From today onwards, you can be called Shi Wuji … "
Shi 'er's body shook and then he nodded his head without caring at all.
Actually, even if Shi Yue didn't say it, he wasn't going to use the name Shi 'er. He liked the name Wuji!
※ ※ ※
Just seven days later, 700 miles outside of the Imperial Capital.
In the middle of a lush mountain stream, there was a lone grave made of fine marble.
The Soul Beckoning Banner moved and smoke rose up.
Shi Wuji's expression was solemn as he knelt quietly in front of the tomb. Shiyue stood at the side with his arms behind his back.
"Seven days have passed! Originally, the rules of a famous family were that one needed to mourn for at least a year. However, I have something important to do and don't have time to wait for you. Even your mother wouldn't want you to waste time in front of her tomb. Wuji, what are you planning to do? Are you willing to leave with me? "
Shi Wuji frowned, his expression was weird as he looked to the side. He didn't reply.
Thinking to himself, did he have a choice?
Shiyue broke into a laugh, "That's true. No matter if you agree or not, I will bring you away."
The moment he said this, he had already flown into the air. A True Qi forcefully pulled Shi Wuji into the air and headed towards the east.
Flying swiftly, they crossed 100 miles in just a moment. Shi Wuji was confused and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we returning to the Shi Family?"
The Shi Family of the Imperial Capital should be in the west!
"You can't return now! Let's talk about it in the future! "
Shiyue shook his head, his gaze was leisurely as he looked towards the east, "Wuji, have you heard of Zong Shou?"
Shi Wuji didn't even think about it and nodded his head, "I know! I heard that he is the top in the sword path, Master of Donglin, Blood Sword Monster Lord! "
The name of Blood Sword Monster Lord was within the Imperial Capital. Anyone who was interested in the martial path and spiritual techniques would have heard of him.
This person was the Ruler of a country and it was said that his sword path was extremely strong and no one could beat him.
Just a month ago, there were dozens of famous sects in the east, and for some reason, they had angered the monarch. Just one person and one sword wiped them all out.
It was said that during those few days, blood flowed like a river and millions were killed. He was a person even more vicious than demons.
The old man from the Scholar Manor said that this person was crazy and went against the path.
However, there were also people who praised him for being a rare Ruler with great talent and vision.
Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Shiyue forcefully bringing him away. Then he most probably would have headed to Gantian Mountain to see whether or not he could obtain the cultivation method. To serve under that Monster King …
If he could cultivate and rise up, he wouldn't care whether that Zong Shou was a Ruler or a Demon Lord.
However, his heart sank slightly. What did it mean that he couldn't return to the Shi Family?
"This person isn't the top in the world but he is invincible!"
Shiyue didn't seem to notice anything as he shook his head to correct him. His eyes were filled with passion.
"Wuji, do you know about the Xiangchu Overlord and Ranwu King from 10,000 years ago? This Blood Sword Monster Lord is the only person in the Cloud World who can compare to these few overlords in a few thousand years! "
Shi Wuji had also heard a few old masters talking about history, so he naturally knew the names of Prince Xiang and Prince Ran. They were all heroes and were once invincible.
However, he still didn't understand. What was the difference between invincible and top in the world?
Many thoughts flashed in his mind as he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.
"Why did you mention this person? Do you have a relationship with this Blood Sword Monster Lord? You want to visit him? "
He still wasn't willing to call him Uncle because he felt shy and unwilling.
"We don't have a relationship! Instead, I owe him one! This Monster King's way of doing things is really admirable! Unfortunately, this Gantian Mountain is destined to be the enemy of our Shi Family! "
Shiyue laughed out loud, "Your Uncle is heading east to use my fists to meet him! I also want to return that favor. I heard that this person is about to go through his tribulation. A few days ago, he recruited millions of people and in just a month, he built a 9,000-foot Heaven Reaching Platform. It seems like his tribulation is just around the corner! At this moment, Gantian Mountain is most probably filled with heroes and demons. We definitely can't miss out on such a show … "
Tribulation?
Shi Wuji's heart moved. He heard that once one reached Grade-9, there would be a tribulation.
If one successfully went through it, one could become a celestial and normally one would have to leave the Cloud World.
Was that Gantian Mountain Monster King prepared to ascend? But what about Gantian Mountain?
Then, he heard Shiyue ask with a smile, "The day he goes through his tribulation will definitely be the day of the war. Wuji, are you willing to follow me to take a look at this Blood Sword Monster Lord? "
Shi Wuji thought about it for a moment before nodding his head.
He had no choice but to take a look at the top person in the world …
At this moment, the two of them didn't know that moments after Shiyue brought Shi Wuji away.
In front of the grave, a person flashed. It was a 40-year-old Taoist who looked at where the two of them left with a smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
