Chapter 301: Chapter 246: Last Wish_2
Su Yuan casually cast a Holy Light Technique on Ji Xiao’an and said, “It’s inconvenient to talk here, co with us.”
“Okay… okay!”
Ji Xiao’an imdiately stood up.
Liu Lin stepped forward and whispered a few words to the bearded teacher. The bearded teacher vaguely guessed what had happened and sighed inwardly before nodding, “Go ahead.”
“Thank you, Teacher Xia.”
…
Liu Lin led the group to a secluded spot. As Su Yuan was weighing his words, Ji Xiao’an, who had been full of emotions monts ago, cald down.
“My dad… sothing happened to him, didn’t it?” Ji Xiao’an asked in an unusually low voice.
Su Yuan looked at the boy, whose eyes were filled with sadness. Without responding, he took out the Space Ring left by Ji Ping and handed it to him.
Ji Xiao’an’s eyes imdiately reddened. He recognized at once that it was his father’s Space Ring. With trembling hands, he reached out and took it.
“Wasn’t he supposed to be a coach at the martial arts hall? I asked around, and people said he quit over a year ago!”
“I searched everywhere and finally found the guild where he was doing overseas business. But they said he had disappeared long ago.”
“I rember that person’s eyes were full of pity and sympathy when he looked at . I knew… Dad, you must have been in trouble!”
“Dad, you lied to for so long…”
“If it weren’t for not receiving your remittances for over two months in a row, I wouldn’t have known you died out there!”
“…”
At this point, Ji Xiao’an couldn’t hold back his tears anymore. They overflowed from his eyes and stread down his cheeks.
Even though Ji Xiao’an had ntally prepared himself, confirming the outco still overwheld him with the grief flooding from his heart.
Su Yuan and the others remained silent. At such a mont, he needed to vent his emotions himself. Offering comfort would only have a negative effect.
The loss of a close family mber was too heavy for a university student who had just turned eighteen.
Situ Qingyin looked at Ji Xiao’an, who sat on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably with the ring in his hands. She couldn’t help but clutch her chest and take several deep breaths.
Situ Qingyin seed to deeply feel the boy’s sadness.
After all, she had experienced this kind of pain, and at a very young age.
Fortunately, besides being very strong herself, she had Situ Bai, who had always been by her side, giving her endless love.
It took a long while for Ji Xiao’an to gradually suppress his sorrow.
“Th-thank you…” Ji Xiao’an’s voice was low. “Can I ask what exactly happened to my dad?”
Su Yuan pondered for a mont and then truthfully told him about the incident where they were ambushed by the white-haired girl in the Qiuyun Mountain Range.
At that ti, the Qiuyun Mountain encountered a black-haired girl who controlled the white mist. Besides the two of them, Lu Qianqiu from the Dragon Sect and Yang Chunhua from Gale Station survived.
As the team leader, Yang Chunhua would surely report this matter.
Ji Xiao’an would find it easy to learn the truth if he pursued it at Gale Station.
Therefore, Su Yuan did not hide anything and also explained that the black-haired girl had already been killed by them.
After listening, Ji Xiao’an remained silent for a long ti, then suddenly asked in a deep voice, “Brother Su, do you know the background of that murderer?”
Su Yuan could see that Ji Xiao’an was filled with so resentnt.
After all, Ji Ping had been killed by soone, not by a fierce beast or a natural disaster.
Having resentnt was normal. Without it, one would be heartless.
Su Yuan shook his head, “I don’t know. However, she had certain unique traits. I have already asked my teacher to investigate, but it seems there has been no progress yet.”
After returning from Black Snow Country, Su Yuan handed the black-haired girl’s body and ring to Yang Yifeng. Yang Yifeng said he would report it for investigation, but so far, there had been no results.
Ji Xiao’an looked at Su Yuan and pleaded, “Brother Su, if you find anything, please make sure to tell .”
Su Yuan pondered for a mont and said, “This matter seems quite unusual. If the situation allows, I will inform you.”
Ji Xiao’an was already very satisfied with this and imdiately thanked him, “Thank you, Brother Su!”
Su Yuan nodded, his gaze falling on the ring in Ji Xiao’an’s hand.
“Your father was very proud of you. Take a look at what he left for you.”
Ji Xiao’an nodded. Holding the ring, with a thought, he took out everything inside it.
Besides so of Ji Ping’s personal belongings, there was a Blue Star Card, a Green-Grade Ice Elent longsword, and a little over thirty Cent Star Stones.
Ji Xiao’an was stunned. He picked up the Blue Star Card and the longsword. After taking a closer look, he couldn’t help but bite his lip tightly.
The tears that had just stopped flowed uncontrollably once again, dripping onto the ground.
“Dad!…”
…
A long ti later, Liu Lin and Ji Xiao’an escorted Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin to the entrance of the academy.
“This is as far as we’ll go.” Su Yuan cupped his hands in thanks. “Vice President Liu, thank you for the trouble today.”
Liu Lin adjusted her glasses, “The one who should be thanking you is . Thank you both for making this special trip for our academy’s student.”
Despite still being imrsed in sorrow, Ji Xiao’an sincerely said to Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin, “Brother Su, Sister Situ, thank you. Thank you for avenging my father and telling about him.”
Situ Qingyin stepped forward and encouraged, “Don’t be too depressed. Living your best life is what your father would want to see the most…”
These were ordinary words of comfort, and Ji Xiao’an didn’t take them to heart at first.
But when he looked into Situ Qingyin’s eyes, his heart couldn’t help but tremble!
Those who had experienced psychological trauma sympathize with each other.
Then, the one who had suffered more would comfort the other…
There was no doubt, Situ Qingyin, who had witnessed her parents being beaten half to death at a young age, carried a darkness far deeper than Ji Xiao’an’s.
Liu Lin couldn’t understand, but at this mont, Ji Xiao’an could deeply resonate with the sadness that Situ Qingyin bore.
Ji Xiao’an’s pupils trembled slightly, “Sister… Situ?”
Situ Qingyin reached out and ruffled his short hair, smiling softly, “I’ve always believed this. I hope you can also grow stronger.”
After saying that, Situ Qingyin stepped back.
Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin nodded to Liu Lin once more before turning and leaving…
As for the items in Ji Xiao’an’s ring…
After learning that Ji Xiao’an was an Ice Star Card Master who used a longsword, Situ Qingyin wanted to help him.
The Blue Star Card was the Ice Crystal Blast Slash that Su Yuan had obtained from the Ten-pointed Snowflake challenge in the Snow Burial Plain Secret Realm. As for the longsword, it was a Green-Grade Star Device that Situ Qingyin had obtained through the Octagonal Snowflake challenge.
Moreover, to avoid making Ji Xiao’an suspicious, Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin had taken nearly all the few hundred Cent Star Stones originally in the Space Ring.
Su Yuan was not a saint, but being close to soone noble like Situ Qingyin might have influenced him. He didn’t mind helping this young man.
The Ice Crystal Blast Slash was remarkable, but it was not crucial to him at the mont.
Ji Ping’s wish had been to save enough money to buy a Blue Star Card for his son. Today, the two of them had helped fulfill that kind-hearted man’s wish…
