《The Legend of The Grandmaster》Chapter 28
Advertisement
Yu Xiaogang's body froze on the spot as he realized it, and this change caused the other two to stare at him. Although Yin Shu felt uncomfortable by Yu Xiaogang's behavior, yet there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him not to be as strong as Yu Xiaogang; Yin Shu could only look towards the little girl and gestured her with his hand.
Yu Yan was also a bit confused due to her father's behavior recently, and when she saw the teacher of the academy gesturing her, the little girl could only nod helplessly.
Yu Yan said, " Father, are you alright? "
" Huh! " Yu Xiaogang snapped out of his thoughts and saw his daughter's worried face, and his old face also couldn't help but blush a little. Yu Xiaogang himself felt that he had been daydreaming a lot lately but who can blame him for having such painful memories.
Yin Shu also sighed after seeing him recover, and Yin Shu really wanted to curse himself for his bad luck today. After walking for the next few minutes, which felt like an eternity for Yu Xiaogang, the three of them reached the end of the path, and the forest had also thinned down.
Yin Shu stopped the two of them before a thick tree with a plaque hanged over it, saying, " Restricted area, please do not enter. "
#
Yin Shu walked down the path and reached a cottage; he bent down outside the cottage and said, " Dean, there are visitors to meet you, " and before he could continue, a cold yet soft and pleasant voice sounded from the cabin, " Don't disturb me. "
Although the voice sounded very pleasant and did not contain any majesty yet Yin Shu's back was already covered in sweat because he knew the horror of the dean. If anyone thought of her as a delicate woman, that person would end up badly.
Still, Yin Shu summoned all of his courage and continued, " Dean, the other party wants his daughter to become your disciple, and she is an " Innate Full Spirit Power. " "
" Send them. " A cold voice replied.
#
Yin Shu rushed back through the same path he came and returned to the place where Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yan were waiting.
He said, " The dean had approved, and you both can go. " Yin Shu pointed towards the path from where he had just returned, and as he was going to accompany the duo, Yu Xiaogang shot him a glance and said, " You don't need to follow us. " Although he said in an indifferent voice still Yin Shu could feel that he couldn't refuse.

After ignoring the silly Yin Shu, who still stood behind at his position, both Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yan walked forward on the narrow path filled with different kinds of flowers.
Soon there was a lake visible to both of them and a simple cottage made of the wood standing on the side of the lake. Although the house itself was not excellent yet it was in perfect harmony with its surroundings.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes reddened as tears appeared in them, and before dumbstruck Yu Yan, he sang a song in a hoarse voice, " On the nights I cannot sleep, what can I use as anesthesia?
How can I endure so many feelings?
It is not that I do not want you with me, but some things you cannot know.
I gave up my precautions, and loneliness followed.
I want a space for myself.
Where I can properly consider our tomorrow.
If love is not sweet like we imagined,
Then let me shoulder all the blame.
My heart is too confused, and I need a bit of space.
If you understand, then let me leave for now.
My heart is too confused, so I dare not wish to love again.
I want to cry, but how to cry and yet not cry.
My heart is too confused, and I need a bit of space.
Has Heaven forgotten to make plans for me?
My heart is too confused, and I am afraid of love's betrayal.
I want to cry as if a lost child.
A lost child. "
Yu Yan did not understand the meaning of the song, yet tears appeared in her cute eyes as she saw a pained look on Yu Xiaogang's face.
The woman sitting in the cottage heard the footsteps approaching and was about to step out when she heard a voice and froze on the spot. Yes, this woman was indeed Liu Erlong; she couldn't believe herself even after listening to the song.
Tears swelled in her deep scarlet eyes as her body quivered, and she muttered to herself, " Is it real? or Am I dreaming? Are you really back, Xiaogang? "
Liu Erlong desperately wanted to rush out of the cottage and see him, but on the other hand, she was scared, " What if the person outside is not Xiaogang? " For the first time she, Liu Erlong, the slaughtering corner of the Golden Iron Triangle, was scared to meet a person.
Although Liu Erlong muttered in a low voice, still Yu Xiaogang, who was standing outside the cottage, heard it clearly. Though Yu Xiaogang only had absorbed four spirit rings, and all of them were at least ten thousand years old.

Yu Xiaogang's indifferent face collapsed, and he turned towards Yu Yan and said in a hoarse voice, " Yan'er, why don't you sit outside for a while and have a feast? Before she could answer, Yu Xiaogang had already taken out the best quality food from his storage tool and hastily set up everything for his little girl.
After setting up everything, Yu Xiaogang, with wide steps, came in front of the cottage, and with trembling hands, he pushed opened the door and stepped inside.
Before Liu Erlong could react, another person entered the cottage and after looking at the familiar face, which looked exactly the same as years ago. She couldn't stop herself and rushed forward and tightly hugged the man in front of her.
As Yu Xiaogang entered the cottage, his body froze after looking at Liu Erlong in front of him. He looked at the woman in front of him, and even after many years, she still looked beautiful. Her red hairs tied in a high ponytail. Even after wearing a long red dress which complimented her red hair and scarlet eyes could not hide her charming figure.
Especially now that Yu Xiaogang had let go of his previous stupidity, he also felt his throat dry and fire rising inside him after looking at her. Before Yu Xiaogang could react, he felt a soft body in his embrace and tightly hugging him.
He could feel her body trembling, and his clothes were soaked in her tears. Yu Xiaogang also hugged her back and softly spoke near her ear, " I am back. "
Liu Erlong's body stiffened slightly, and there was a slight shock in her eyes after she felt Yu Xiaogang hugged her back. After hearing his words and feeling Yu Xaiogang's breath blowing on her ears, Liu Erlong cried even harder and increased her grip.
Although Yu Xiaogang only said three words; still, she could feel emotions and a strong sense of security that he would never leave her again.
Yu Xiaogang did not speak further; instead, he let her vent it all out, and he himself never felt so peaceful as he was feeling right now. The faint fragrance from Liu Erlong's body constantly entered his nose. After what may seem like an eternity, she stopped crying and loosened her hands around his waist.
" Xiaogang..." As she was about to let go of him, Yu Xiaogang pulled her back into his embrace, and lowered his head, kissed her.
Liu Erlong's charming face turned red as she felt his face nearing hers, and finally, her eyes widened in shock as he kissed her.
Both of them were ignorant of the matters between a man and a woman, yet Yu Xiaogang mustered up all of his courage to take this step. The two of them became oblivious of their surroundings as they started indulging.
Finally, both of them parted breathlessly; Liu Erlong saw Yu Xiaogang's heated gaze, and her already charming face became even more redder, and she looked around the room to avoid his eyes. On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang wanted to imprint the image of his lover in front of him in his mind forever.
He finally decided to break the silence and said, " Erlong, this time, I won't leave you. "
" Un! " She said in a low voice with her head lowered as if trying to hide her embarrassment.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered that the little girl was still waiting outside and said, " Erlong, let's go outside, our daughter is still sitting outdoor. "
" Un... Wait! What? XIAOGANG YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER? Liu Erlong's previous charming face changed suddenly, and she looked like a volcano that seemed ready to blast off at any second if Yu Xiaogang didn't give her an explanation.
Yu Xiaogang was dumbstruck by her sudden change, and after a moment, he seemed to understand and said, " Erlong, you seem to misunderstand me. I have adopted Yu Yn. I will tell you her details afterward. "
Liu Erlong's anger reduced, and pouting said, " Cheh! Why didn't you tell me that earlier? " She lightly punched on his chest with her tiny fist.
Although Yu Xiaogang was known as grandmaster famous for his research on the continent, yet he couldn't understand her behavior so he decided to keep quiet about it.
#
Yu Yan pouted a bit after seeing his strange behavior; still, food attracted all of the attention of this little glutton, and before long, the little girl began eating happily.
#
Both of them looked stunned as soon as they stepped out of the cottage.

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
