Xue Fei had always been calm and capable. Even at this time, his expression was still calm.
However, Yan Zhaoge could feel that his heart was not calm.
"Senior Brother Xu." Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before saying, "At the time of the calamity that year, little Shi Jun should only have been three years old. It is uncertain how much he could have understood about the situation back then."
"If anything happens to Senior Martial Brother Shi, and if little Shi Jun wakes up and asks about it …"
As Yan Zhaoge said this, his voice was slightly heavy.
When Xu Fei heard that, he said softly, "Jun 'er has been in a deep slumber all these years. He should not be aware of what is happening in the outside world."
"Although he looks like a child in his teens, his mental memory should still be that of a three-year-old. He needs time to grow and adapt."
"He has always been smart. I believe that as time passes and he grows older, he will be like other children in the future."
"When his mind is back to normal, I will tell him everything. I will not hide anything from him."
Xue Fei raised his head and thought for a moment. "Tell Jun 'er everything I know about Brother Shi's descent into the devil and what happened after that."
Yan Zhaoge nodded silently, "That's also good. Otherwise, if someone in the know tells him the truth in the future, and he feels that we are lying to him, he will instead feel resentment towards us, easily being used by those with ulterior motives. I just hope that he won't end up like senior apprentice-brother Shi."
Sighing lightly, Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "It is not that there is no such possibility."
Xue Fei gazed at the ice coffin. "It's also possible to recognize and understand Master."
Yan Zhaoge said, "This will have to depend on how senior apprentice-brother Xu normally educates and guides them. People's views on the same matter are different. Even adults like us find it very hard to completely avoid the influence of our personal likes and dislikes on our judgement, much less children."
If nothing unexpected happened, when Shi Jun entered Broad Creed Mountain in the future to learn martial arts, as long as he was able to pass the test and become a core, direct disciple, his Master would be Xu Fei.
This was Xue Fei's own request, and at the same time, it was also the sect's intention.
Xue Fei said calmly, "I will do my duty as a Master. However, the path of life still depends on Jun 'er himself. Some things cannot be forced."
Yan Zhaoge agreed, "That's right."
As time passed, Yan Zhaoge could feel the vitality within Shi Jun's body growing more and more vigorous within the ice coffin.
He looked at Shi Jun and saw that although Shi Jun's eyes were closed, his eyelids moved slightly, as if his eyeballs were moving.
"He's here," Yan Zhaoge and Xu Fei's spirits both rose.
Yan Zhaoge bowed and struck the ground before him with his palm. The small scale formation within the secluded room instantly circulated, numerous patterns of light lighting up.
Multicolored clouds filled the quiet room. Although they were invisible, the exuberant vitality could be clearly felt.
Yan Zhaoge tapped lightly on the ice coffin, those streams of clouds converging towards it before unceasingly merging within.
The body of the boy in the ice coffin moved again, and his eyes finally opened.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge and Xu Fei simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief. Exchanging glances, they actually felt as though a lifetime had passed.
The boy rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up and wanted to sit up.
With a wave of Yan Zhaoge's hand, the lid of the ice coffin opened. Then, the boy looked over with a dazed expression on his face.
Two adults and one child, the three of them stared at each other for a long time before the boy gradually regained his wits, first pointing at Xu Fei, smiling, "Uncle Xu!"
Then, looking at Yan Zhaoge, he said rather hesitantly, "… Little Uncle Yan?"
"It's me," Yan Zhaoge smiled.
Shi Jun was intelligent, having already recognised people when he had still been a child.
However, when they had last met that year, Yan Zhaoge had only been a youth in his teens. Now, he was already a youth in his twenties. His appearance had changed slightly, causing little Shi Jun to be rather uncertain.
However, hearing Yan Zhaoge's reply, little Shi Jun instantly smiled happily.
Surveying their surroundings, he asked curiously, "Where are father and mother? Where is grandfather? "
Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look at Xu Fei, sighing lightly, "Senior apprentice-brother Xu, I'll leave it to you."
The ice coffin containing Ying Yuzhen's body had already been handed over to Xu Fei for safekeeping.
Hearing his words, Xu Fei nodded, walking forward and carrying Shi Jun out of the ice coffin. Only now did Shi Jun react. Lowering his head to look at his hands and feet, he discovered, astonishedly, that he seemed to have grown a lot taller, that feeling as though his body wasn't his.
After accompanying little Shi Jun for a while, Yan Zhaoge turned and left the room, leaving it to Xu Fei.
He walked all the way to the courtyard. It was currently dawn, the rising sun exceptionally brilliant.
Looking at the sunrise, Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself, "Good sunrise ah, a newborn sun in the morning …"
Now, Ah Hu walked into the courtyard. Seeing Yan Zhaoge, he immediately understood, "Young Master, little Shi Jun has awakened?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "That's right, senior apprentice-brother Xu is taking care of him inside."
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest laugh, "This way, Elder Shi can also be comforted a little."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Is there something that you came here for?"
"En, Young Master, it's like this." Ah Hu's expression was slightly strange as he answered, "Just now, while walking in the city, I heard a rather bizarre piece of news."
After living in seclusion in Stone Rock City for a period of time, Ah Hu had gradually refined the dragon blood essence qi within his body, finally no longer looking like that miserable blue giant.
Recently, this big guy could finally dare to go out and meet people. Thinking of his earlier situation, he really felt bitter and teary.
Ah Hu said, "A seafarer in Stone Rock City mentioned that while traversing the Outer North Sea earlier, he met Miss Sikong."
Yan Zhaoge said casually, "Junior apprentice-sister Sikong? She had previously decided to go out adventuring and temper herself, following Jade Sea City's senior apprentice-brother Song, junior apprentice-sister Li and the others to the Water Domain. Afterwards, she left the Water Domain and went to the Outer North Sea. It is not strange at all. "
"While it is very dangerous, this is the path that she has chosen for herself. It is not good for us to say anything."
Ah Hu scratched his head, "Young Master, Miss Sikong wanting to go out adventuring, it is indeed not strange for someone to coincidentally meet her outside."
"However, that seafarer said that he saw two Miss Sikong."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, "Oh, could they be twin sisters? This is indeed a little unexpected. Junior apprentice-sister Sikong is an orphan, having entered the clan at a young age. I have never heard of her having relatives. Who would have thought that she would actually meet them outside the sea; this can also be considered a happy occasion. "
Ah Hu pulled back the corners of his lips, "However, Young Master, I heard from that seafarer that Miss Sikong and the other party were exchanging blows at that time."
He paused for a moment, then said with a heavier tone, "It was not a spar, but a true life and death battle!"
