《The Legend Of Drog》Chapter 14: Departing
Advertisement
Jin ran passed both Drog and Big Sister Ri and jumped at the handsome man. As the boy flew through the air, he called out, "Daddy!" The man caught the boy in mid-air and raised him up to his eye level. "Hello, my son, Jin'er," he said with a smile and the boy giggled.
"So he is Big Sister's Ri's husband? He doesn't look old like those elders that tested me ten years ago in admission tests of the sword sect." Drog thought.
"You came back earlier than I expected," Big Sister Ri said with a smile after the exchange of words between a father and a son. The man moved his eyes away from his son and moved them to his wife. "When you activated the alertness jade, I was already heading back to you and Jin'er."
"Alertness jade? What is that? I should ask Liu Ri once we are alone," Drog thought.
She nodded in understanding, "I see."
"So why did you activate the alertness jade anyways did something happen?" He moved his eyes to the youth standing by his wife's side and furrowed his eyebrows. "And who is he? And why is he wearing my elder robe?"
"He is my big brother!" Jin said.
"Big brother?" the man furrowed his eyebrows and whispered to his son in a voice that only the boy could hear, "Did big brother touch your mommy? Respond by nodding and shaking your head."
The boy shook his head and the man sighed with relief. "So she isn't cheating on me," he thought.
He looked at his wife, "So who is here and why is he wearing my clothes?"
"My name is Drog and Big Sister Ri gave me these clothes to replace my old ones." Drog said before Big Sister Ri could.
"Drog? Where have I heard his name before?... Wait?… Big Sister Ri? If I recall correctly those three brats refer to her the same way, can he be the one that went missing right before I arrived at the village?" he thought. "Is he the same one that disappeared ten years ago?" he said.

Big Sister Ri nodded. "The very same, he came back," she said with a smile.
The man nodded. "You also said that you pressed the alertness jade because of him, why is that?"
Drog glanced at Big Sister Ri and she nodded her head to him. "Could you bring Drog into the sword sect?"
"Bring him into the sect? I seem to recall that Drog was the one that was diagnosed with F- rank talent? Wasn't he?"
Jin shook his head, "Daddy big brother is very strong, he destroyed the table in just a single strike!"
"Destroyed the table?" He thought. "Is this true?" he said.
She nodded, "Yes, the table that you never liked and wanted to replace is gone now."
"I see." The man said and smiled inwardly.
Big Sister Ri sighed and said once more, "Can you bring Drog into the sword sect?"
"He did get rid of that old unsightly table, I might as well," he thought. "Alright, I will allow him to join the sect." He turned his eyes to Drog, "Drog do you yourself want to join the sword sect?"
"I do." Drog nodded.
The man nodded, "Alright, I will bring you into the sword sect but even though you are joining the sect, don't expect any special treatment. Even if you are a little brother of the elder's wife, you will just be an ordinary disciple."
"That's fine with me"
The man slightly nodded, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Yun Bo".
Drog bowed his head, "Greetings elder Yun."
The man nodded, "That's good, never forget your manners." He looked at his wife, "I came back but now I am leaving again… I will come back after taking Drog into the sect."
She nodded, "Alright."
"Daddy, you are leaving?" Jin said after being obedient during the entire conversation.
"Don't worry Jin, I will return very soon."

The boy nodded, "Alright dad." He looked at Drog, "Goodbye, big brother."
"Drog," Big Sister Ri called out.
Drog turned towards Big Sister Ri but before he could say a word, he was enveloped in a hug, "Goodbye Drog. I hope, I will see you again."
Yun Bo narrowed his eyes, "It was six months since I have been to this village, I need to look into if there is nothing going on between my wife and that punk," he thought.
Drog stepped away from the hug, "Goodbye Big Sister Ri," He turned to Yun Bo, "Let's go."
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to my son?"
Drog nodded and thought, "I will just do what he wants, no point in ripping my free ticked into the sect." He turned towards Jin," Goodbye Jin."
The boy jumped from his father's arms into Drog's and he caught him in mid-air. The boy hugged Drog, "See you later, big brother."
"See you later, Jin." Drog smiled and let the boy down. He turned at Yun Bo, "Shall we go?"
"Let's go."
Drog followed Yun Bo and they walked out of the house and as they disappeared into the distance, Big Sister Ri didn't let down her eyes from Drog's back. She thought, "Here he goes again, disappearing from my life once again… Out of the four I always liked Drog the best and ten years ago when I found out that Drog didn't have talent and wouldn't become a cultivator and that he would be with me, I was happy." She lowered her head shook it; she walked into the house and Jin followed after her.
…
As they were leaving the village, Yun Bo said, "Drog when did you return?"
"This morning."
"You returned this morning and you already wanted to go into the sect, didn't you want to catch up with my wife? You didn't see her for ten years and all."
Drog glanced at Yun Bo and spotted slight anxiousness on his face. Drog narrowed his eyes and thought, "What is he thinking by asking me such a question? Does he suspect that I am having an affair with his wife?" After a moment of silence, he said, "If she was single then I would have certainly stayed. After all Big Sister Ri is a beautiful woman who can make very delicious food, but she is a married woman with a child. It is better just to remove myself from her life and carry on with my own."
The man nodded, "I see." Slight relief flashed through his eyes.
"Drog, I am curious how did you with F-rank talent manage to awaken your dantian?"
"Don't say even a single word about the cultivation method I bestowed upon you!" Liu Ri said.
Drog furrowed his eyebrows, "I was lucky to meet an old man and with his help, I managed to awaken it."
Yun Bo nodded, "I see and how did this old man look like?"
"I don't remember, it was a very long time ago."
Yun Bo nodded, "Then what level of cultivation are you now?"
Drog narrowed his eyes and thought, "Give them an inch and they try to take a mile. Every time in every world, nothing changes." Displeasure flashed through his eyes.
"That's personal."
The man stopped, "What did you say?"
"You heard me."
"I am your elder, tell me what level of cultivation are you."
"You are not my elder yet as I didn't join the sect yet."

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.
