Chapter 398: Something’s Happened to the Luo Family

The elders retreated, and Feng Tianlan and Luo Yunzhu were the only ones left in the courtyard .

Luo Yunzhu looked at Feng Tianlan, who was half a head taller than her, standing before her . She raised her head and blinked . She smiled brightly again and shouted briskly, “Tianlan!”

“Yunzhu!”

Just as she shouted back, a soft figure jumped into Feng Tianlan’s arms and hugged her tightly . Then, Luo Yunzhu burst into tears like a child .

Her friend’s sudden outburst made Feng Tianlan feel entirely at a loss . She patted Luo Yunzhu on her back as she comforted her, “Don’t cry . What’s happened? Who bullied you? I will kill him for you . ”

“Woowah…”

Feng Tianlan wanted to comfort her at first, but Luo Yunzhu’s crying grew louder . It seemed as though she had suffered something horrible .

Feng Tianlan had never seen Luo Yunzhu cry like this . The usually heartless Luo Yunzhu never complained when she fell or felt pain . However, right now, she was bawling like a child, which made Tianlan feel extremely sorry for her .

What exactly had happened during this one month to make Yunzhu so upset?

“Cry . You will feel better afterward . ” Feng Tianlan patted Luo Yunzhu’s back gently as she softened her voice . If Yunzhu couldn’t be appeased, it was better for her to cry it out . Life was full of laughter and tears, anyway .

Luo Yunzhu tightly held onto the corner of Feng Tianlan’s shirt . Her sobs became louder and louder as if she were crying a lifetime’s worth of tears .

Hearing her heartbreaking sobs, Feng Tianlan blamed herself . If she had come back here with Yunzhu a month ago, things wouldn’t have turned out this way . At least she would have been by Yunzhu’s side .

After crying for half an hour, Luo Yunzhu’s tears slowly dwindled . She leaned on Feng Tianlan’s shoulder and said in a choking voice, “Tianlan, I am alone now . ”

“Yunzhu…” Feng Tianlan’s heart quaked to hear her friend’s sad, dreary voice . “You still have me . ”

“Tianlan, let me lean on you for a while . Just a little while,” Luo Yunzhu begged .

She had no haven to turn to anymore . In the future, she could no longer hide meekly under someone else’s protection . She needed to become stronger .

“Lean on me for however long you need, just tell me what exactly happened . We can figure things together,” Feng Tianlan said in a gentle voice .

Luo Yunzhu only leaned on Tianlan for a short while, then she straightened herself up . She looked at Feng Tianlan firmly with swollen eyes and said, “Tianlan, I can only depend on myself now . From here on out, I will only rely on myself . ”

“Yunzhu, what exactly happened?” Feng Tianlan said anxiously . “You still have me . I will be here for you forever . ”

Luo Yunzhu looked at the flustered, worried Feng Tianlan, who was blaming herself . Another tear fell automatically as Luo Yunzhu said, “My dad is dead . ”

“What?”

“My brother is dead . My aunt is also dead . I am the only one left alive at Luo Manor . ” Sobbing, Luo Yunzhu couldn’t help but squat down . She hugged herself as she groaned out in self-accusation, “If I’d known this day would come, then I would have given up my inheritance! And now…boohoo!”

Feng Tianlan crouched down beside Luo Yunzhu and hugged her . “What exactly happened? How did the dean die?”

The dean was a warrior and Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor . Killing him was no easy task . How was such a thing even possible?

“Earth Supreme…Xuantian Continent…boohoo! They killed my dad!” Luo Yunzhu explained through her tears . She really wanted to be strong, but she couldn’t help but crumble in front of Feng Tianlan .

Feng Tianlan frowned and said, “Speak slowly . What exactly happened? And what does it have to do with Xuantian Continent?”
