Hearing this, Chu Feng’s heartbeat immediately became rapid, and even though the surface remained calm, his heart had long been in turmoil within, because the place that Huangfu Haoyue had spoken of was the place that Chu Feng had come from.
“Senior Huangfu, what did you encounter there?” Chu Feng could not help but open his mouth to ask, because he really could not wait to know just how there were people in that place, whether his parents, and his family were there, or whether there were other circumstances.
“Hey ……” Huangfu Haoyue long sigh, seems to have difficult to say, this said: “I Huangfu Haoyue, even the emperor’s funeral have entered, no matter others have seen, or others have not seen, throughout the ages, the so-called big scenes, I have seen quite a few of them.”
“But a place like that, I was the first time in my life that I saw it, that sacred feeling was suffocating, it wasn’t mere fear, but reverence from within, the kind of reverence that makes you look away, not daring to step into it.”
“But, because I had the creature that claimed my life behind me, I had to step into it, and in there, I saw a man.”
“That man …… “When the words reached here, Huangfu Haoyue suddenly swallowed back the words that followed, and his gaze was once again directed towards Chu Feng, and at this moment, his gaze was flickering and uncertain, and there was no more composure from earlier, and instead, it was replaced by an indescribably complex emotion and trepidation.
If one had to describe it, it was a complex emotion that contained panic, fear, nostalgia, and not daring to blaspheme.
“Senior Huangfu, are you alright?” Chu Feng was somewhat worried because he realised that this memory had too great an impact on Huangfu Haoyue.
After hearing Chu Feng’s words, Huangfu Haoyue’s body trembled slightly before he slowed down, and then he wiped the cold sweat above his forehead and said, “In fact, when I saw that man, my consciousness blurred, and I couldn’t remember what he looked like, but I feel that you are very similar to him.”
“This feeling is very strange, in my mind, I clearly have no concept of what he looks like, but when I saw you, I just felt that you are very similar to him.” Saying this, Huangfu Haoyue laughed, and that was because he himself felt amused.
“Chu Feng, this Huangfu Haoyue, must have seen your father, besides your father, who else would look so much like you?”
“The reason why he can’t remember your father’s appearance, yet he feels that you resemble your father, that’s because his memories have been confused, a truly strong person is able to confuse the other party’s consciousness and influence his memories without them realising it.”
“This memory, for Huangfu Haoyue is both vague and fearful, he doesn’t dare to recall it because he’s afraid, you quickly ask him, ask him what exactly happened afterwards, you can’t let him recall it over and over again, you must finish asking him as soon as possible, or else it will harm Huangfu Haoyue’s body, and even make him go insane again.” Right at this moment, Egg suddenly opened his mouth to remind.
“Elder Huangfu, what happened then, what happened after you saw that man?” And at Egg’s reminder, Chu Feng also hurriedly asked after him.
“I’m ashamed to say that, although …… I was unable to get a good look at him, I was scared silly by him, do you know what the first thing I did after seeing him was?” Huangfu Haoyue asked Chu Feng.
Chu Feng shook his head and asked, “What was it?”
“Before he could say anything, I knelt down, I didn’t just kneel down, I kowtowed, I knelt down and kowtowed, begging him for forgiveness.”
“I, Huangfu Haoyue, can’t be talked about as a great person, but I am by no means a person who is greedy and afraid of death, ever since I was born, the people who have made me kowtow and kneel are few and far between, apart from my parents and my master, I haven’t worshipped anyone.”
“Before that, beating me to death, I would never believe that one day, I, Huangfu Haoyue, would kowtow and beg for mercy from others in order to survive.”
“But that day, I did do that, I remember it clearly, I was so humble, yet so willing.” Huangfu Haoyue let out a bitter laugh, before continuing:
“I was afraid of that man, from the bottom of my heart, just like a commoner seeing a god, that kind of awe is so powerless to resist.”
“But in reality, that man was not bad to me, he did not threaten me, nor did he ever I harm me, instead he was also very kind, he entrusted you to me, he told me to bring you out of the Heavenly Path, to entrust you to a family named Chu, to name you Chu Feng, to protect you as you grow up to adulthood.”
“I agreed, I didn’t dare not to agree, I felt that I had to agree, and after I agreed …… I felt a blur in front of my eyes, and when my sight was restored, I had already returned to the Eastern Seas, and the things that happened after that are clear to you, and after I returned to the Eastern Seas, I began to be in a trance. ”
“Although the man has not intimidated me, nor threatened me, but I am self-conscious that I must complete his mission, otherwise he will kill me, for death, I am not so afraid, but as long as the thought that he is the one who wants to kill me, I am scared to death.”
“I know very well that I am terrified, I know that sooner or later I will go crazy if I go on like this, but I can’t control myself, I am so powerless.”
“Before I went crazy, I went to see Whisking Smoke for a while, and told him not to step into the Heavenly Path, and after that I travelled to the Continent of the Nine States, wanting to be over there, and put you in your place.”
“In fact, in the Eastern Seas, there are quite a few families with the Chu surname, but I didn’t dare to place you in the Eastern Seas, because I knew that I didn’t have much time left, and that I was about to lose the ability to protect you, and I couldn’t guarantee that, in a place like the Eastern Seas, whether or not it would be possible for you to grow up to be a man in peace.”
“That’s why I brought you to the continent of Kyushu and chose a small family, because I felt that with my threat, it would be enough to make them fear and not dare to treat you badly.”
“And after entrusting you to the Chu family, I also secretly monitored them for a period of time until …… I really couldn’t control myself before I left, because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to control myself after I went crazy and hurt you.”
“The things behind, I think you know without me saying.” Huangfu Haoyue said.
“Senior, then do you still remember, the place you spoke of, the place where that man was located, where is it located on the Heavenly Road?” Chu Feng asked after him.
Huangfu Haoyue had provided clues, but had not given him the answer he wanted to know, so he had to personally travel to the Heavenly Road to find out.
“I can’t remember, but if everything within the Heavenly Road remains the same, after encountering the second group of unknown creatures, travelling forward for a while and then heading east, one should be able to search for ……,” Huangfu Haoyue, said in an uncertain tone.
“Many thanks, Senior Huangfu.” Chu Feng gave a salute to Huangfu Haoyue, and did not continue to pursue the question, because he knew that he could not ask anything more, and rather than letting Huangfu Haoyue, continue to recall that heart-wrenching memory, it would be better to leave it at that.
“There is no need to thank me, in fact, at the beginning, if I didn’t meet you, maybe I would have died in the Heavenly Road, no matter what I experienced during these years, I always survived, and my cultivation, I was able to unknowingly step into the eighth grade of the Martial King, and it’s also no coincidence that I feel that now my talent, is stronger than back then, maybe one day, I will step into the Martial Emperor realm, and become a Martial Emperor powerhouse.”
“And this …… all relies on you, to say thank you, it should be me thanking you.” Huangfu Haoyue, looked at Chu Feng with great gratitude.
