Capítulo

  In the outskirts of a country in Europe, there was a majestic and huge castle. It had a long history and had been used by several masters. It was still thriving and reverent.

  No matter its landscape, decoration or history and culture were both attractive. If those fully armed security personnel had not been on patrol 24 hours a day around the castle, this place would have been the most lively tourist site.

  Today, the ancient castle, which had always been quiet and devoid of vitality, had become unusually noisy. The lanterns were lit and the colors were colored, and the voices of people were hubbub.

  An energetic old man from Celestial Empire stood in the courtyard with an anxious look on his face. He waved his arms and pointed at the busy crowd around him.

  "Hey! The white jade tripod should be moved slowly. What if it is broken? That's the Night Pot, the master's favorite when he was young!"

  "When can you prepare it slowly? Lisa, go help and arrange the Young Master's room. Have you moved the water bed into it?"

  "And you, why are you still here? Did the fleet set off? Don't forget, the young master likes auspicious numbers. There are eighty-eight Bentleys. One car can't be less. If we miss the young master's time, I'll teach you a lesson."

  "Hey! Look at you, you're used to being lazy. If you have something to do, you'll be so busy."

  The old man was running all over the place, so busy that he felt dizzy. When he turned back inadvertently, he suddenly froze on the spot and stayed there for a long time.

  A handsome young man in tattered clothes with bloodstains on his body swaggered in and barged into the hall as if no one else was present.

  "Who's there..." the elderly man's body tightened and he instinctively opened his mouth to shout angrily. His eyes, however, widened in disbelief all of a sudden.

  "Young... young master?"

  The old man rubbed his eyes hard and finally confirmed that the man in front of him was the young master of Xiao Shan, who had been missing him day and night and who hated him so much.

  "It's really Young Master, he's back!" The old man roared.

  His words seemed to cause the sky to shake and the ground to shake. Numerous people swarmed in and neatly lined up at both sides of the bluestone road. Their actions were as orderly as they had been rehearsed countless times, and then all of them lowered their heads respectfully.

  "Hello, young master!" His voice was loud and clear.

  Xiao Shan approached the old man step by step. His face was very serious and he stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, he asked with a playful expression, "Uncle Feng! How long will my father... live?"

  "Cough cough... Master... He's in the bedroom. Young Master, please go." The corner of Xiao Feng's eyes twitched a few times as he forced a smile.

  "Oh!" Xiao Shan let out a soft hum and suddenly sped up his pace. Like a gust of wind, he rushed out.

  After he left, the servants dared to raise their heads and discuss with each other in surprise.

  "That's the young master? Why is he dressed in rags?"

  "Have you noticed? There is a bloody smell on the young master's body. It's so terrible."

  "Besides, there are so many guards outside the fort... Young Master, how did you get in without a sound?"

  Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered, "How did the young master get in? He's been away all year around, so no one recognizes him. Furthermore, the security outside the castle... is the most advanced security system in the world."

  Xiao Shan rushed into the inner castle like a gust of wind. He directly ran up the stairs and came to a room with two ancient doors.

  Creak!

  Xiao Shan reached out his hand and pushed open the green stone door.

  Faint fragrance of flowers filled the room, encircling the room. There were many kinds of musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If someone were an outsider, he or she would think that he or she had entered the girl's room.

  "Old man... Aren't you dying of illness?" Looking at the motionless figure by the window, Xiao Shan asked with a faint smile.

  With Xiao Shan's intelligence, he found something wrong as soon as he entered the castle. Such a lively scene didn't look like the scene of the master being seriously ill at all. It was obvious that the old man planned to knock him back.

  In the room, a tall figure slowly turned around, and the corner of his eyes twitched violently. He said angrily, "Bad boy, if I don't die, you won't come back?"

  "Cough..." With an awkward expression, Xiao Shan coughed violently and said with a smile, "Oh! It's great that you're all right, dad!"

  "Hmph!" The fierce-looking eyes of Xiao Lian suddenly burst out laughing. "Little bastard."

  Xiao Shan dejectedly walked to the side, picked up a cup of steaming tea on the table, and was not afraid of being burned. He looked up and drank it. He said vaguely, "Dad, I am on a battlefield in the homeland. When I heard that you were unable to do it, I rushed back. I didn't even have time to change my clothes. Now I have been expelled from the army because of violating the rules. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, we will not be done!"

  "It's better to fire him! I sent you to be a soldier when you were a child. You've been in the army for more than 20 years and haven't played enough? And... Do you really want me to die like this?" Xiao Lianying was so angry that he glared at him.

  "Hey hey, how come? I want you to live a long life of a hundred years. No, no, no. It's best to live for a thousand years. Then I'll be at peace."

  "Do you mean that I'm the Thousand-Year-Old Archer?" The look in Xiao Lianying's eyes became more and more dangerous.

  Pu!

  Xiao Shan spat out a mouthful of tea and almost burst into laughter. He covered his stomach with his hands and rolled. "Ouch! You said that yourself."

  "Humph! Back then, my enemy had been hunting me for half a world. How could I die of illness?"

  "Dad, can you tell me what's going on?" Xiao Shan rolled his eyes.

  "Humph! I let you take over the command of the family group, but you're disobedient and only know how to play. You're in your twenties..."

  "Come on, come on... do this again. I'm leaving..." Xiao Shan stood up impatiently and acted as though he wanted to leave.

  "Stop right there!" Xiao Lianying was angry.

  Xiao Shan laughed awkwardly and sat back down. He said lazily, "Aiyo! You're so old, yet your temper is still so irascible. What the hell is going on?!"

  Xiao Lianying couldn't get angry and had no idea how to deal with this boy. After a while, he suddenly smiled weirdly and said, "Your marriage is a big thing!"

  "What?" Xiao Shan's eyes widened in shock.

  "Do you still remember your Uncle Chuyang?"

  "Of course I remember. When I was young, you said every day. If it weren't for Uncle Chu Yang saving your life, you wouldn't be like today, right?" Xiao Shan imitated Xiao Lianying's tone with a strange expression, trying to make fun of him.

  "Humph! His daughter is suffering from the craziness of blood, and you're the only one who can save her! I want you to repay her debt of gratitude!" Xiao Lianying couldn't be bothered with this brat and turned around to speak to him in a deep voice.

  "... Her illness has nothing to do with my marriage!" Xiao Shan rolled his eyes and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

  "Hey! I know that you like freedom, but Brother Chu only has one daughter, whom you regard as a treasure. You inherited your mother's blood X-type arhat, so..."

  "No way! Let me give Chu... Ye to a woman I don't know? That's impossible!" Xiao Shan's eyes widened as he shook his head resolutely.

  "Cough... you're speaking so harshly. I want you two to marry and become legal husband and wife. Do you understand? Furthermore... Chu Xueyi's child is very pretty, you won't lose out!"

  "You can't do that either!"

  "Just take it as helping my dad once!"

  "No, it's not!"

  "Are you going or not?"

  "I'm not going!"

  "Little bastard!" Xiao Lianying suddenly took out a photo and handed it to him. "Will you go or not?"

  "I said that if you don't want to go, then... when are you going to leave?" Xiao Shan grabbed the photo and his mouth was watering.

  "Little bastard!" Xiao Lianying gritted his teeth in hatred.

  Xiao Shan didn't stay for long and left, leaving only the lonely figure of Xiao Lian standing on the stone platform at the top of the castle.

  The wind at night was a little cold, but Xiao Lianying only wore a thin shirt and was lost in thought.

  "Master! If Young Master knows the truth..." Xiao Feng came to Xiao Lianying's back and put a thick coat on him. He said with some difficulty.

  Xiao Lianying's face was cold and his form was majestic. He said indifferently, "He's grown up! There are some things that should be dealt with."

  Xiao Feng's body trembled slightly and he didn't say anything else. He just stood there silently with his hands at his sides.

  The moonlight was bright and clear. Xiao Lianying's eyes were fixed on somewhere in the air, twinkling. No one knew what she was thinking.
