Chapter 21 Let The Past Stay In The Past

Fu Yuanjun was lost in thought. As far as he can remember, he didn't even know that he had a mother. He only knew that Cao Fengge is his father. He has a nanny who is always by his side. He always thought he was a son without a mother, but he didn't expect his mother to rest in this lonely and secluded place for so many years.

Cao Fengge said, "I was weak at the time and lost your mother. At that time, the Fu family was not well-known, but with the wealth of the Huo family, they helped me build Beixing Sector. I don't want to get marry to someone that my parents chose for me. So I ran away, I went to find the 'Killer String' and Devil's Fist Manuals." He smiled. "When I saw your mother, she was washing clothes with the villager women. The women were singing local songs. " Cao Fennge smiled and he quoted from his memory, "The woman preparing her husband's last supper. Sitting next to her lover for the last time, because early in the morning, he will march into war. Who knows when he will be coming home? Who knows whether he will walk home or coming home on a horse's back? The woman painted her lips as red as blood. Waving goodbye to her husband and smile without tears. Her husband will remember her smile instead of her tears, because who knows when he will be coming home? Who knows weather he will walk home or coming home on a horse's back." He looked at Fu Yuanjuan. "The first time I saw your mother, I fell in love with her." He chuckled. "Her smile is beyond the reach of any woman in comparison, but then we met too late."

Fu Yuanjun asked, "If you love her, why don't you marry her?"

Cao Fengge said, "I planned to marry her as agreed, but she is someone else's wife. So, I ran... ran back to the place I hated the most, but one day she appeared in front of me. She was pregnant. She beg for me to stay, but I refused to let her stay because of was afraid. There were some incomprehension between us that made her leave me. From that day on, I never saw her again until her body and you came to my door." He touched the tombstone. "Liqin, you must hated me to death. You rather give the Killer String Manual to Mu Jiao Long, instead of me. You rather have Mu Jiao Long kill our child, but unwilling to let me raise Yuan'er." He pointed at Fu Yuanjun. "You look at our son, growing up so strong. I train him with all knowledge to make him stronger. Stronger than me, so when he encounters difficulties, he will not be like me, always afraid and always running away from his problem."

Fu Yuanjun knelt before his mother's tombstone. He kowtow three times and began to help Cao Fengge clean up Li Liqin's tomb.

After the father and son finished cleaning Li Liqin's tomb. They sat in front of Li Liqin's tomb to rest. Cao Fengge said, "Yuan'er, do you know why I have you lost to Wenyan?"

Fun Yuanjun said, "I don't know, father."

Cao Fengge said, "Your place is not a servant in the Gu household. From now on your surname going to be Fu. Do you remember the story I told you about Fu shushu?"

Fu Yuanjun said, "Yes."

Cao Fengge said, "Yuan'er, you will be his son from now on. You must enter Tianshan as his son, and remember not to reveal your true identity."

Fu Yuanjun asked, "Father, why do you never let me use the surname Cao?"

Cao Fengge said, "In addition to being a member of the Four Household in the martial arts world, what benefit does the surname Cao have?" He looked at Fu Yuanjun. "When I met your mother, I thought about changing my surname to Li and ran away with her. So you are Li Yuanjun, not Cao Yuanjun." Cao Fengge looked at Fu Yuanjun. "Yuan'er, I want you to know that you are my favorite son. I don't want you to be my heir, but I want you to be the supreme leader of the entire martial arts world."

Fu Yuanjun finally understood why Cao Fengge would treat him like this. He knelt in front of Cao Fengge and said, "Father, I'm sorry, I doubted you. I thought you never cared about me."

Cao Fengge helped Fu Yuanjun up and said, "Yuan'er, you are my proudest son. Only after undergoing the cruelest training can you become a true champion." Cao Fengge pulled Fu Yuanjun into his arms and hugged him tightly.

After that, he went to Tianshan and became a disciple. He knew that he was much skillful than the usual Tianshan disciple, but he pretended to be weak and was often bullied by his seniors, but he regarded this as part of his practice. As Fu Yuanjun, he has establish a name for himself.

Fu Yuanjun have to thank Mu Dishi, because without Mu Dishi, his plan being Fu Shirong's son will never be successful, but in the end, Mu Dishi has figured out the truth. He still remembers what Mu Dishi said to him on the day of his celebration. Mu Dishi said 'If you ever done Tianshan wrong and ruin my yeye's reputation, I will killed you with my own hand'. After that, he did not expect that Mu Dishi would willingly hand him the Sword Spirit Manual.

When Cao Fengge ordered him to kill Mu Dishi, he hesitated, but he knew that Mu Dishi have to die, otherwise, Mu Dishi would be his biggest obstacle to becoming the supreme leader of the martial arts world. Just like that, he punched Mu Dishi and pierced the poison needle Cao Fengge gave him a few days before he entered the secret tunnel. Unexpectedly, Mu Dishi would pull out a trick hidden under his sleeve to block the door, but with the seven color poisons, Mu Dishi will die within seven days, so there is no way that Mu Dishi would live until now.

Fu Yuanjun was even more pleased that Gu Jinjing told him that Ma Jingguo was injured and killed in the battle with Zan Huangming. With just one single punch with the seven color poisons needle, he killed his two powerful enemies. He sighed and opened his eyes.

Elder Tong asked, "What are you thinking?"

Fu Yuanjun said, "It's a bit regretful to think about the past."

Elder Tong said, "What happened in the past, let it stay in the past."

Fun Yuanjun smiled at Elder Tong, "You are right, whatever happened in the past, let it stay in the past." He took a bite of the plain bun.
