9. Reunion with his loved one.

Lu Yini's courtyard.

Like usual, Lu Yini walked to her son's room in the Left-wing of her main courtyard. Walking to her son's room, Lu Yini can't help thinking about her son were about. If only she's not the main wife from Chen clan patriarch, she will roam the world outside to find her son. Many times for the past years after she gave birth to her son, she wants to take her children away from this family. But, every time she wants to left this place, Chen Houlun always come to her and make her waver.

'I wish I can hate him for this misery. Just for that man, I let my son's being hurt over and over. I'm such a bad mother.'

Sighing, Lu Yini looking in front of her. When her gaze looking at the garden in front of her son's room, her eyes lit up. Moving faster to her son's room using her movement skill, Lu Yini touch the garden's plant and can feel wet.

'Is he?'

Don't want to keep guessing, Lu Yini moves to her son's room door. Using light push the wooden door opens without sound. Walking lightly, Lu Yini moves inside the room. There's another door with light silk covers separate the front room with the bed and another door where bathroom exists.

Lu Yini chooses to walk to the touch the silk drapes. When she lifted the purple silk covers, she can see there's someone sleeping on the bed covering in a white fur blanket. She moves for closer looks. Her mind keeps telling her that her son's back. She needs to check. When her eyes landed on the young man's backside, she knows her son really is back. Wearing a big grin, she left the room and wait at the front room side waiting for her son to wake up.

"Qi-er, bring me tea."

Lu Yini calls her maid to bring her tea and snacks. She wants to wait for her son to wake up. She misses him so much. Before long some maid being lead by a cute young woman brings tea and some snacks to Danshou room. They place the tea and snack on the round wood table. Lu Yini sat there and wait. She's waited patiently.

Ngh...

Danshou awakens from his deep sleep when the sunlight hit his eyes. Blinking his pretty eyes, Danshou touch the silver mask on his face. He rose from the bed and start walking to the bathroom, sleepily. When he lifted the covers separated his bed and front room his eyes open wide. He sees his mother sitting on the table, eating snacks and drinking tea. Rubbing his eyes, Danshou look again at his mother until his mother's maid calls him.

"Morning, Young master."

Qi-er salutes her madam's son. Looking at the young man stiff body, the young maid a little perplexed, young master seems different than before his missing accident. Right, even though many people didn't know their young master's missing for more than a month but she knows as madam trusted maid. Her mother was madam's Nanny in the Lu clan after madam married, her mother sends her as madam's maid while her mother stayed at Lu clan to take care of Lu head clan's children.

Hearing Qi-er salutes her son, Lu Yini glance at her son stiff body. Smiling, she points at the wooden chair near her. Her son shaking his head and strode to the bathroom. Understand, Lu Yini let him be and order the maid to send breakfast, so she can eat breakfast with her son.

"Qi-er, call Shin-er here. Tell her, her brother's back and let's eat breakfast together in here."

Qi-er salute and left to the Right-wing, the young miss room's.

Chen Houshin room.

Chen Houshin just rose from her bed when her maid; Nin-er told her Qi-er comes looking for her. Wiping her face and changing her clothes, Houshin letting Qi-er to her room.

"What's wrong Qi-er? Why have you come to my room's so early?"

"Young miss, Madam ask you to join her to eat breakfast at young master room's."

"Brother's room?"

Qi-er nod and said; "Yes, Madam wants young miss to eat together with madam and young master."

Houshin gets up in a hurry and her face looks happy. She's moving so fast, leaving her maid in a hurry to her brother's room. She can't believe her brother's back. She already thinks she can't see her brother again. She's really afraid something bad happens to her brother. So, hearing the summon make her flustered.

Bang!

"Mother! Is it true that brother comes back?!"

Chen Houshin faces blushing red with expectation and yells to her mother when she sees her. Lu Yini seeing her daughter happy face, smiling widely and nod. She's waving her hand and make her sit in the chair on her right side.

"Where is he?" Chen Houshin looking around and don't see her brother's silhouette.

"He's cleaning up. Just wait and we can eat together later."

Hearing that, Chen Houshin eyes light up and nod.

"Master, why are you not going outside?"

Gelu wonders why his master not going outside, even though he's done cleaning up.

Flustered, Danshou scratching his head. He's still not thinking how to explain his transformation to his mother and sister. He never thought gonna meet his mother so early today.

"Master?"

"Gelu, how can I explain about my transformation? My mother gonna be confused looking at my looks and my cultivation level."

"You wants to show your new looks to your mother?"

"I can't refuse my mother if she wants to look at my face and knows about my missing time. I'm not gonna lie to her. She's my mother."

"Then you can just say the bad things that are happening, also your master's the ones who helped you."

"I see, maybe I can use that."

"Master, you can't tell about the Chaos Ring even to your mother before you become high immortal-level. Even if nobody can't get to the Core part, the big space in the ring is enough to make immortal cultivator salivate about it. It's very dangerous for you and them."

"I understand."

Gulping his saliva, Danshou tries not to be nervous. He's using purple robe with a silver bamboo pattern on the edge. He's walking slowly to the front room and see his mother and younger sister sit around the table waiting for him. When they see him, they smile happily.

"Mother, Shin-er."

"Sit, let's eat."

Danshou nod to his mother's soft order. He sits in his mother left side. He's wearing a silver mask covers half of his face. Looking at his mask, his sister frown and pondering. His sister looking at him up and down. She realizes all his change, but she's not saying anything. They all eating in silence. After they eat half full, they stopped. Lu Yini orders the servants to clean up. The servants clean up and bring tea for them, after that with Lu Yini waves all retreat and leaving the room.

"So, where you've been?"

Hearing his mother straight question, Danshou smile wryly.

"If I said there's someone wants to kill me and dump me to Black-cliff, will mother trust me?"

"What?! Someone wants to kill you?!" Lu Yini and Chen Houshin yell hearing his explanation. Their face becomes white. Their suspicion becomes true.

"Are you recognize the culprit?" Lu Yini asking Danshou with fury within her voice.

"Yeah."

"Who?! Mother's gonna kill him!"

"Her."

"What?"

"The one who wants to kill me, the mastermind is a woman."

"Who? Do mother knows her?"

Danshou nod.

"Mother knows her? Who? Who dares to do that to you?"

"I'm not going to tell you now. When the clan meet start you'll notice."

"Brother, you want to participate in the clan's meet?!"

"Yes."

"But, Brother.."

Not waiting for his sister finish her talk, Danshou let out some of his qi. He's using his qi on the Core-level 4. His thick qi makes his sister feels the suppression while his mother looks surprised.

"Danshou, y-you can cultivate?"

"Yes, mother. I can cultivate now. I meet with my master when almost dying at the bottom of Black-cliff. He saved me and helped me a lot."

"I see..good, good."

"Congratulation, brother."

"And what's with the mask on your face also mother's notice your body seems different than before?"

"Well.." Danshou knows his mother will curious about the mask he's wearing. "Because I fell from Black-cliff, my body almost crumble, all my organs in a wrecked state. So, to make me stayed alive, my master forced to rebuild my body using his skill."

"What? How can that's happened?" Hearing how close her son's from death, making Lu Yini's eyes watery.

"Brother, luckily you're still alive." Chen Houshin can't help to hug her brother tightly.

Patting his sister back, Danshou feels warm. So, this is his family now. After coaxing his sister, Danshou takes off his mask slowly. When he takes off his mask, he can see his mother and sister mouth went wide and their shock eyes. Chuckling, Danshou put his mask on the table.

"Oh, my god, brother, where's your master? I want my body to be remade by your master too."

"Yes, your mother also wants it too."

Lu Yini smiling so wide watching her son's beautiful looks. She wants to see now whose the one gonna said her son's not looking good. She promises she won't beat them up until their mother can't recognize them. Her son's looks are so beautiful. She never sees anyone that can compare with her son's look. She can guarantee many females will fell for her son's later and looks like many men will be bent because of her son too. Thinking about those things make Lu Yini mischievous side shows up again after many years went dormant.

"I'm sorry but, for rebuilding my new body, master waste almost all his power. So, after rebuilding my body and teach my cultivation, he went to heal his power. I don't know where he goes."

"I see. To rebuild almost destroyed body, it really needs great power. Your master must be a good alchemist too."

"Maybe."

"Okay then, if you want to participate in the clan's meet, mother agrees. You should prepare yourself for the meet."

"Yes, mother."

Watching her obedient son's, Lu Yini take Chen Houshin to left his room.

"Mother.."

"Hmm.."

"Please don't let anyone knows that I'm back. Especially father."

Pondering the meanings behind her son's words, Lu Yini nod. After leaving his son's room, Lu Yini calls all her servants and order them to keep their mouth about her son's return. She's also let Chen Houshin prepare for the meet. Looking at the blue skies, Lu Yini feels happy. She believes if that man knows her son's power later at the clan meet, he will vomit blood for sure. She can't wait for the clan meeting.
