Chapter 8 - A new Life (3)

Ye Zheng's eyes narrowed as he saw Qing Yan crying, without hesitation he dropped the boar and dashed to Qing Yan's side, Qing Yan looked up at Ye Zheng, she stopped crying for a second, then cried even harder. "Yan-er what's wrong?" Ye Zheng could not help but call her Yan-er like the previous owner of his body had, he also couldn't control one of his hands from stroking Qing Yan on her head, while the other pulled her closer to him.

"I....just remembered my father's injury... and you look so much like big brother Zheng." she looked up at Ye Zheng with teary eyes, not crying anymore, but her eyes were puffy and watery. She didn't know why, but she didn't mind this person in front of her hugging her and stroking her hair, in fact she felt serene, as if this is how things should be.

Hearing this Ye Zheng couldn't help but pull her even closer and whispered to her while ruffling her hair, "Silly girl, didn't you hear me say Yan-er, big brother Zheng is still here, big brother is not dead." Qing Yan had a shocked look on her face, she then looked carefully at Ye Zheng's face, before tackling Ye Zheng to the ground,"Big brother Zheng! she rubbed her cheeks against his chest, cherishing the heart beat she was so familiar with, she wouldn't let go this time, she would never let go.

Patriarch Lotus felt wronged, first the girl suddenly cried, and now he was completely ignored, "Just childhood friend my ass..." he muttered, as he disappeared into Ye Zheng's ring. Ye Zheng, felt happiness, right now he didn't care whether what he is feeling is from the sentiments of the old owner, right now he was enjoying this. After a little while Qing Yan separated from Ye Zheng after, his continuous promises of never leaving her again."Big brother Zheng, how did you save me?" Qing Yan asked curiously, last time she saw him he was at the 4th stage of body tempering. There was no way he could be able to fight all those young masters who were atleast in the 6th stage.

Ye Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "Haha i didn't think you'd ask this as your first question, don't you wan't to know who that creepy old fart is?" "Ah! I forgot about him, he's a nice guy but right now I only wan't to know more about big brother Zheng!"Both of them doubled over laughing. Unknown to the both of them. Inside of Ye Zheng's ring Patriarch Lotus was huddled in a corner, his centuries old heart shattered by the abuse he is receiving, _(┐「ε:_ "*sniff* creepy old fart they say....I don't wan't to know about you .... I was the one who actually saved her too."

Ye Zheng held his stomach, it still hurting from laughing too much. "It was actually that Creepy old man that saved you, he may not look like it, but he is an expert!" Hearing this Qing Yan's eyes widened, "Ooooh, I wan't to thank him then." she turned to where Patriarch Lotus was at, to her confusion however she didn't see him. "eh? where did he go?" Ye Zheng chuckled and put his consciousness into his ring, he burst out laughing as he saw the Patriarch Lotus huddled in a corner sulking. 'old man aren't you too old to sulk?" 'SHUTUP, LEAVE ME ALONE YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT." Ye Zheng withdrew his consciousness from the ring and smiled at Qing Yan "hehe the old man is currently on his period." Luckily by this point Patriarch Lotus had his hearing sealed, otherwise if he heard this he would have vomited blood and sworn to kill them both.

"Ah! I thought he was an old man not an old woman!" Qing Yan exclaimed when she heard what Ye Zheng had said. "hahaha, I was just joking, he's in closed door cultivation." Ye Zheng made this up to save the little reputation Patriarch Lotus had left in the eyes of Qing Yan. If Patriarch Lotus heard this he would no doubt have gone mad with anger yelling "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO DESTROYED MY REPUTATION!"

"Yan-er, about your father, you don't have to worry anymore, I gave him a pill that will heal him, he will be fine in a few weeks." 'wah! Big brother Zheng is so awsome!" Qing yan once again tackled Ye Zheng. "Haha, its not much considering how much Aunty and uncle Chen have done for me before, now Yan-er I have something important to tell you." his gaze turned serious, he couldn't help but like this girl, he could tell why the previous owner had liked her, she was beautiful, kind, and innocent, it was basically every man's dream to have such a girl as their wife

. But he knows, that life is cruel especially one that is in a world in which power is everything, Qing Yan's beauty would no doubt invite trouble, therefore he will give her two choices, to bring her parents and live in a secluded place or become a cultivator, he knows its cruel to deprive her of a normal life, but something clicked in him when he thought of some other bastard forcing her whilst he was gone. By now he completely disregarded the fact that his affection may be due to the previous owner, he didn't care, he loves her and that is the only fact.

"En! Yan-er is all ears!" Qing Yan replied cutely as she put her hands on top of her head to mimic dog ears. "Ok, Yan-er, You have to choices, to live in seclusion with aunt and uncle Chen, or become a true cultivator like me, the world is dangerous, with your beauty something similar will always happen, and I cannot bear to think what would happen if I cannot protect you because I was away." Contrary to Ye Zheng's belief, Qing Yan's eyes showed sudden resolution as she replied. "en I know! I choose the path of a cultivator, Yan-er cannot bear being powerless when father and mother are in trouble, therefore Yan-er will become strong!"
