Chapter 129: Returning Home and Visiting the Tomb

  Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. Xiaoying died forever and would never come back. Xu Hua's heart also died with her. The heart that had not been hot enough was wrapped in layers of thick ice, unable to feel the warmth, a completely dead silent world.

  In flight, the cold wind blew on Xu Hua's face, but Xu Hua didn't have any ripple because his heart was a thousand times colder than this cold wind.

  Qingshan Town was not far from Luocheng's main city. An hour later, Luo Cheng finally brought Xu Hua to the outside of Qingshan Town.

  Looking down at Qing Shan Town from above, you'll find its smallness, but Xu Hua suddenly felt that it was warmer than anywhere else.

  "Qingshan Town, in the blink of an eye three years have passed, I've finally returned!"

  Xu Hua's voice was so low that after a while on the road, he mobilized the crystal of life in his body and released the essence of life to nourish the injuries in his body. At this moment, he had recovered a lot, although he didn't have much combat power, but at least he could move freely like a normal person.

  "Huh? Quick look, there's someone in the sky! A strong person has arrived!" Many people in Qing Shan Town saw Xu Hua and Luo Cheng's figures, and they all looked up.

  Luo Cheng supported Xu Hua as they descended in front of the Xu Manor gate. The two were about to enter when they were stopped by the Xu Manor guards, "This is our Xu Manor territory, who are you looking for? We can go in and report!"

  Although the two men knew that the two people in front of them must be powerful warriors from the late Warring States period or later, they couldn't help but feel intimidated. They didn't dare to offend such strong individuals, especially since they had the Xu family backing them up. It was well-known that the Xu family had produced a powerful warrior who could repel flying swordsmen with just one shout. As a result, the Xu family's guards had become much bolder over the past two years. However, the sight of Xu Hua covered in blood still left them utterly shaken! Luo Cheng's crimson pupils made their hearts tremble, and they spoke with trembling voices.

  "I didn't expect that after three years of not returning, the guards at the Xu manor don't even recognize me. It seems my time outside was truly too long." Xu Hua lifted his head, and his face, stained with blood that had already been blown dry by the wind, looked so eerie.

  The two guards of the Xu family carefully observed Xu Hua, and the more they looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. Connecting this to the three years that had passed, the two immediately thought of Third Young Master, "Are you Third Young Master?"

  Just then, a young man walked out of the Xu mansion, "What are you doing?"

  "We've seen Master Xu Zhen!" The two men immediately spoke respectfully. The newcomer was indeed Xu Zhen, although his father Xu Chong had been executed by Xu Lin, he himself hadn't been implicated and his natural talent wasn't bad either, so his status within the Xu household was still quite high.

  Xu Zhēng didn't look at the two of them, but instead stared at Xu Huá and Luó Chéng who were covered in blood. When he looked at Xu Huá, he felt a sense of familiarity, but after all, three years had passed, Xu Huá had changed somewhat, plus the bloodstains on his face made him unrecognizable.

  Xu Hua looked at Xu Zhong's arrival, opened his mouth and said: "Zhong big brother, three years without seeing you, you are still the same!"

  "You are!" Xu Zhēng was shocked, and immediately stood beside Xu Huá to take a closer look, saying: "You're Little Huá! How did you end up looking like this?!"

  "Hurry up and get Xiaohua inside, what are you waiting for!" Xu Zhēng yelled at the two men guarding the door, scaring them so much that they immediately came forward to support San Shǎo.

  "It's okay, I can still walk." Xu Hua said lightly and headed towards the inner courtyard of the Xu residence. At the same time, he said to Xu Zhong, "Big Brother Zhong, I'm going back to wash up a bit, you go take care of your business!"

  After finishing speaking, Xu Hua stepped into the Xu Mansion, Luo Cheng followed closely behind him. Xu Zhong didn't have any intention of going out either and re-entered the Xu Mansion to inform the elder members of the clan about Xu Hua's return. However, unfortunately, Clan Master Xu Lin still hadn't appeared, seemingly in seclusion.

  Three years had passed without his return, and the Xu estate hadn't changed much. Soon, Xuhua arrived at the West Garden, his independent courtyard. His courtyard was always cleaned by Chunmei and Qiujie, who never fell behind.

  " Luo Cheng!" The second girl, who was repairing the flowers and grass, heard the footsteps and turned her head to see Luo Cheng and another young man covered in blood walking in. They rushed over in small steps, and when they got closer, they both froze, "Is that you, Young Master?"

  "I didn't think you two could still recognize me!" Xu Hua wanted to force a smile, but he found that he couldn't do it at this moment.

  "Master, how did you end up like this? Who was so cruel!" The two women immediately rushed to Xu Hua, their eyes welling up with tears as they looked at Xu Hua's blood-soaked body, his terrifying appearance filling them with heartache!

  "Xiao Ying is dead!" Xu Hua didn't respond, instead he kept talking about Zhou Ying's death.

  "What? How could it be?" The two of them still didn't know about Zhou Ying's death, and no one in Qing Shan Town knew either. Both women were stunned because they knew the relationship between Young Master and Miss Zhou Ying. Now that Miss Zhou Ying was dead, Young Master would definitely not be able to take it! They finally understood why Young Master had become so cold. This kind of Young Master made both of them feel extremely heartbroken.

  "Second sister, help me prepare hot water! I want to take a bath and change my clothes, after washing clean, go to Xiaoying's grave!" Xu Hua didn't want Xiaoying to see him in his current state, in Xiaoying's heart he was forever the kind Huagege.

  The two women went to prepare soon, Xu Hua walked to the front of his room, pushed open the door and stepped in, while Luo Cheng quietly waited alone outside. He didn't disturb the young master, he thought it was better for the young master to be alone and think quietly at this time.

  In the room, Xu Hua took off his blood-stained green robe and lay on the cloud bed, staring at the ceiling with unblinking eyes, as if there was a whole new world up there that was beckoning to him.

  In those cold and profound pupils, tenderness would occasionally emerge, loneliness would occasionally emerge, excitement would occasionally emerge, and in the end, Xu Hua actually fell asleep on the cloud bed.

  In his dream, he seemed to have reunited with Xiaoying and started a happy and blissful life...

  Young Master

  After an unknown period of time, two sweet and familiar voices called Xu Hua out of his dream. Looking at the room that had not changed in the slightest, Xu Hua himself did not know what he did next.

  Luo Cheng waited outside for half a time, and Xu Hua finally changed into a new set of clothes and stepped out of the door.

  "Go, take me to Xiaoying's grave!" Xu Hua had already cleaned himself up, and only after Spring Plum and Autumn Chrysanthemum had repeatedly confirmed it was safe did he come out, wanting to be spotless and free of any bloodstains when he went to meet Xiaoying, even though she was already dead!

  Luo Cheng walked ahead, leading Xu Hua to the backyard of the Xu Mansion. "I buried Miss Zhou Ying in that small hill in the backyard of the Xu Mansion, which is your favorite place. No one will disturb her rest there."

  Xu Hua nodded, he was very moved by Luo Cheng's actions, but now he couldn't say anything, some things didn't need to be said, Luo Cheng could understand the young master's emotions at this moment.

  Three years have passed since Xu Hua left this land, and the place has regained its vitality. The power of nature is truly great, a piece of desolate land that was drained of its life force by Xu Hua three years ago has once again regained its vitality.

  The lush greenery on the mountain, with only small saplings about half a person's height, similar to shrubs. Looking into the distance, red, yellow, blue and white flowers are in full bloom, competing with each other under the sun's rays!

  "It's actually a great place! I think Xiaoying will definitely like it! It's very quiet, she likes quiet!" Xu Hua looked at the delicate flowers and suddenly bent down to pick them one by one, selecting only the most beautiful and vibrant ones.

  Lu Cheng quietly watched the young master who was carefully selecting each flower, patiently waiting, this should be the most peaceful moment in the young master's heart!

  There are many varieties of flowers in this mountain, and Xu Hua selected a total of eleven that he thought were the best.

  Zhou Ying's grave didn't have too much weeds, Luo Cheng would come to clean it up every two months. As Xu Hua walked closer and closer, her heart became more and more calm, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. She gently placed the eleven flowers in her hand in front of Xiaoying's grave, and Xu Hua gently stroked the words engraved on the tombstone with her hand, softly saying: "Yinger, I'm here, Brother Hua is back! Brother Hua promised you that he would definitely come back, now I'm back."

  Luo Cheng had already gone far, and at this moment he was planning how to destroy the Wu Ding family. Because he knew that after the young master finished worshiping Zhou Ying, the sky would change and a storm would come. Since Miss Zhou Ying was indirectly killed by the Wu Ding family, the Wu Ding family would have to face the young master's revenge like a raging storm.

  "Ying'er, I'm back, but you're gone!"

  "Ying'er, I haven't proposed to you yet! I still want to fulfill our dreams together with you! Have you forgotten?"

  "Don't you know how cruel this is?"

  "I'm so angry! Why can't I come out half a year earlier?"

  "How I hate it! How I hate this world for being so cruel, not even sparing a pure and innocent girl like you!"

  "Ying'er, we were all wrong. The thoughts of this world have taken deep root and cannot be changed. Only by completely overturning heaven and earth can this world regain its brief clarity!"

  Xu Hua wailed loudly, at this moment he was so helpless, so weak. Who can be blamed for all of this? This is reality, this is the truth, seeing it clearly, but paying a price that cannot be redeemed, a pain that pierces the heart!

  Is it really only after experiencing pain and hatred that one can truly understand?

  It was unknown how long it took, but Xu Hua stood up, his eyes cold and stern as he stared at the sky and roared: "Are you watching? Are you what you wanted to be? Then you've succeeded! I'll let you have your way!"

  Pure white clothes, lovely face, kind heart, gentle and weak girl's temperament is in harmony.

  Away from home, traveling in all directions, meeting at the peak, foolish heart searching for a thousand miles.

  Years passed, time flew by, and with great effort, I finally avenged my brother's death.

  Revenge, crimson color, tearful hero, lonely blood demon's heart changes.

  Escape from predicament, seek old friends, hear of Yisheng's death, and descend into the mortal world from the underworld.

  Alas! Sigh! Is it not strange? Only I am left with a murderous heart!
