Chapter 7: A beginning I

"Brat"

Emperor Suiren crawled at the feet of the prime minister as he was threatening him with the life of his son.

"You better know your place now you cocky bastard, I was lenient with you and you dare take me for granted, refused my orders, you thought you could go against me because the daughter of Luo Lei of Huangjidao sect is your father-in-law. Even he will be resenting you so much now. How foolish of you, you can't even bear the weight of your actions, you can't protect a woman and a baby on your own and you think you can govern this empire right. You are prominent in martial art got nothing to do with politics, this is politics, if you are not powerful then you are not, your position does not matter, even a rat can sit on a throne and have might as that of a tiger, and yet a tiger can sit on a throne and not have might as that of a squeaky rat. Don't feel entitled. You prominent bastard."

pow

He kicked his nose.

"I'll be giving you the last chance, this way you'd be able to at least protect your baby. Obey me and me alone, Yu Suiren you live to serve me!!! haha ha!!!"

Tears roll down Emperor Suiren's cheek as he stares at the head of his wife, decapitated and rotting.

"Now You will be giving me a proper heir, as my daughter will become your Empress."

"Yes Lord Yen"

"Haha, good, good, you know how to be a good, obedient dog"

Before long news of Lady Hua spread and shook the Wulin world.

Far in the Carcass mountain of the descending Phoenix.

step.

" . . ."

The old man in the cave with his eyes closed but other senses wide opened sigh then talked,

". . . are you planning to attack when I'm asleep."

Luo Lei revealed himself from the darkness.

"Old friend"

". . . don't tell me to please join you to avenge your daughter, I'm not up for that nonsense."

"As expected of the great Chen, nothing is a secret to you"

"Don't don't misunderstand it's not like I'm interested in you but the birds won't let me rest, they keep bickering this and bickering that. . . so what is it?"

"I want to use it"

The old man flustered opened his eyes, his iris were pitch black, as though he was blind.

"Use what?"

"That. . . the promise"

"Ah you sly bastard, in the end, you wanna trick me into fighting your war because I made you a promise. . .when you saved me from Makpa that day and almost lost your life to save me, thanks to your effort I still have one arm left, I promised to repay you with my life and now you are here asking me to use that promise to fight for you, against ordinary humans for that matter. . ."

"Seriously Chen do you think Ordinary humans killed Hua Yi."

". . .hmm"

He went silent.

"But like I said I'll deal with my mistakes, I've come here for something else"

"Hmm . . .?"

The man made a concerned face,

'He's not here to make me fight for him then why is he here?...'

Just then Luo Lei called out,

"Rui. . ."

Rui came out from the shadows.

"I thought he was a stray cat but it seems he was your own"

Luo lei collected Rong from Rui.

"I want you to take care of him"

"ehhh. . . when did I become a babysitter are you shitting me right now"

Luo lei fell on his knees, Rui immediately went down too.

"Please I beg you!! Chen Shirong!! please make my grandson the peak of the Jianghu and win the world, the peak of existence itself"

The old man frowned,

"What is this Luo lei, are you purposely embarrassing me. You know how much I've failed at entering the Ascension level yet you asked me to train one into the ascension level when even I couldn't attain it."

"We started the Journey late Chen, if probably you have a chance to start learning martial art from age two you would have probably entered the profound realm by now. You are a talented and hardworking man, and I want to believe that Hai Rong just like his mother is talented, he's been through so much after birth, I don't want to leave him ordinary, in case I fail, when he learns of his mother I want him to turn the world upside down"

"In the end, it's all about your revenge"

"I'm sorry friend, but I'm also giving you a second chance. . .remember our bet?"

"The one you said I'd see life differently if I have a child?"

"Yes. . ."

The old man smiled,

"ah... you are stubborn. It's up to him to reach the peak, I can't force the boy to do anything but I'll pour all my resources into him"

"Thank you friend"

Luo lei stands up to leave.

"And what do you plan on doing?"

"War. . .Chen. And just so you know. . . I might cross path with Makpa."

The old man's eye widened.

"That's suicide"

"My mind is made up"

He disappeared into thin air, Rui also entered the shadows.

"good grief . . ."

He looks at Rong who was utterly disgusted.

". . .I guess it's just the two of us now"

Meanwhile Frank,

'no!no!no!grandpa. . . come back, don't leave me with this dude, yhuk he smells so bad, he doesn't even have one hand, how is he suppose to take care of me . . .what am I supposed to eat. . .my luxurious. . . life. I thought I was an Imperial prince... Fhuk the gods!!!'

Frank cried out
