Chapter 429: Chapter 162: Six Daos return to their positions, Immortal and Indestructible, Chen Chang’an reopens the Mountain Gate!_2
Down the mountains, a man dressed in white slowly strolled in, carrying two swans. As he moved along, he would often pause, his face bearing a smile like jade, warm and gentle.
"Senior brother, why did you return so late?"
As he reached the upper mountain, a surprised voice of a young girl suddenly rang out.
Mao Ruxue looked at her long-awaited senior brother, her face was filled with joy. She put down the sword she was practicing with, and quickly walked over.
"I was delayed on the road, so I returned a bit late." Chen Chang’an smiled slightly. He then handed the swans to Mao Ruxue.
"Senior brother, are we going to eat these tonight?" Mao Ruxue asked curiously after receiving the swans.
With her current strength and wealth, it was quite easy for her to eat such a swan.
However, every meal shared with her senior brother brought a unique experience, and that was what delighted Mao Ruxue.
"Yes." Chen Chang’an nodded, "Take them back and cook them first. I’ll drop by halfway up the mountain and come back later."
"Alright, senior brother."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue instantly nodded.
She understood Chen Chang’an’s meaning. In Daozang Mountain, the only destination halfway up the peak was the grave of their master, Yang Han.
Though she arrived late on the mountain, Mao Ruxue had some knowledge of the bond between her senior brother and their master, so she wisely refrained from intruding.
Then, carrying the swans, Mao Ruxue walked towards the kitchen.
After Mao Ruxue left, Chen Chang’an headed towards the mid-level of the mountain.
Before long, he arrived at the grave of Yang Han.
Chen Chang’an took a pot of wine from his bosom and poured it in front of the tomb.
"To you, old man, I salute,"
After saying this, he sat down beside the grave as he used to.
This time, Chen Chang’an stayed by Yang Han’s tomb for three solid days, his face filled with regret and melancholy.
All things possess feelings, let alone humans.
Although he had seldom addressed Yang Han as "Master" in his life, Chen Chang’an had long recognized Yang as his master in his heart.
Without Yang Han, he would have died long ago.
The primary reason for Chen Chang’an’s visit today was to inform his master Yang Han that he had now ascended to the position of the great Heavenly Venerate. This should put the old man at ease.
After Chen Chang’an felt he had spent enough time at Yang Han’s grave, he stood up and did something that caused a sudden tear in space before him.
Seeing this rift, he stepped into it.
He found himself in a gray world, with only two solitary tombs standing between heaven and earth.
Both tombs were marked by tombstones.
The first one read, "The tomb of father Chen Zun."
The second one read, "The tomb of mother Li."
These graves belonged to Chen Chang’an’s birth parents.
Chen Chang’an walked up and cleared away the weeds in front of the tombstones, giving respect to his parents.
Chen Chang’an was unsure of his feelings towards his parents, and how he should treat them.
But what he knew for sure was that they had given him so much.
If, without Master Yang Han, he would’ve been dead, then without his parents, he wouldn’t have had a chance at life.
Although he had already avenged them.
Nevertheless, some things in this world couldn’t be measured or settled by mere revenge.
Two days later, with these thoughts in mind, Chen Chang’an returned to Daozang Mountain.
"Huh? Senior brother, haven’t you been in the scripture library these past days? I’ve looked everywhere for you."
Seeing Chen Chang’an, Mao Ruxue instantly expressed her surprise. The dishes she made had ended up cold.
"Are there any swans left?" Chen Chang’an asked.
"Senior brother, there is." Mao Ruxue nodded her head and then continued,
"After I prepared it the other day, I went to look for you, but you weren’t around, so I only ate one with Qing Xue, keeping one aside."
"Do you want to eat it, senior brother? If you do, I can prepare it for you right now."
After speaking, Mao Ruxue awaited Chen Chang’an’s reply.
"No need," Chen Chang’an shook his head.
"Junior sister, go and call Chen Yi and Qing Xue over. I have something to discuss with you all."
"Oh, alright, senior brother." Mao Ruxue did not quite understand Chen Chang’an’s words, but she nodded and went to find them.
It didn’t take long for Chen Yi and Lin Qingxue to arrive in the main hall of Daozang Mountain.
"Disciple Chen Yi, greeting master."
"Disciple Lin Qingxue, greeting the honorable master."
As soon as they reached the hall, the two disciples bowed respectfully on one knee towards Chen Chang’an.
"Rise," Chen Chang’an nodded, signaling them to get up.
"Thank you, master." Only after hearing Chen Chang’an’s words did the two stand up.
"Master, may I ask why you summoned us?" Lin Qingxue asked curiously.
Chen Chang’an said, "I am planning to reopen the school."
Hm?!
"Master, are you going to reopen the school?"
"Senior brother, are you going to reopen the school?!"
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Lin Qingxue and the others were momentarily stunned.
Particularly, Mao Ruxue who was standing at the front was taken aback like never before.
