System's Super Sect Chapter 1292 - 1133: Family Reunion
Previously on System's Super Sect...
"Sect Leader, I understand."
Indeed so.
With such a formidable tool like the Great Domain Master of the Primordial Yang Domain at hand, why should one be overly cautious, play it safe, or even act timidly?
"Anything else?" Wen Ping asked.
Chen Xie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sect Leader, besides the matters of the Sect, I also just heard some news regarding the elderly lady."
Take note.
It’s hearsay!
Because this is ultimately the sect leader’s family matter, he neither has the right nor the courage to investigate.
Unless the Sect Leader asks, then he can investigate.
If not asked, he must avoid all news concerning Madam Wen.
Wen Ping, who initially didn’t want to continue, upon hearing it was about his own mother, immediately glanced at Madam Wen and thoughtfully urged, "If there’s anything, say it straight. Don’t worry about displeasing me with a word or two said wrong."
"Yes!" Chen Xie replied confidently, "That Wuqi King, although he didn’t act against you tonight, I am concerned he might try to meddle behind your back. So as a precaution, I sent Black Shadow to monitor his every move. Just now, Wuqi King mentioned the arranged marriage with the Long Family, and also mentioned the elderly lady."
Chen Xie didn’t dare to be explicit because Madam Wen is certainly a reverse scale of the Sect Leader, and it’s better to speak obliquely on matters concerning Madam Wen.
Hearing the words ’arranged marriage’, Wen Ping instantly understood, "Of course, besides a king-sealing expert, the Long Family wouldn’t consider any other choice. Alright, continue with your work. Also, if an upper realm expert from the Heaven-Concealing Tower shows up at the Black Domain Battlefield, report it immediately."
"Yes, Sect Leader, I shall take my leave."
Chen Xie complied, slowly put away the Sound Transmission Stone, and then coldly reminded his top confidant who stood by his side, "Forget all about the matters of the Long Family now. If you can’t forget, I’ll have the Ancient Nine Heavens Ape Dragon ’help you’!"
The mid-realm expert who had just joined Jinji Building and pledged loyalty to Chen Xie nodded alarmedly, "Rest assured, Master Lou, I never remember what I shouldn’t!"
Chen Xie nodded with satisfaction, walked up to him, and with a bang, slapped him on the shoulder, "Hope you don’t let me down. After all, I treat you as my right-hand man. Losing an arm is not something to be happy about."
On the other hand, after hearing that Wuqi King was the intended marriage partner for Madam Wen, Wen Ping remained calm without losing his temper or displeasure.
Because the marriage between the Long Family and Wuqi King was never going to happen, there was no need to get angry over something impossible.
However, the fact that Wuqi King dared to have designs on his mother, even passively, could not go unanswered.
"Mother, once father returns, we’ll head back to the Immortal Sect. Rest assured, you can do whatever you want going forward, without any concerns about him." Wen Ping’an comforted Madam Wen with gentle words.
Madam Wen nodded harmoniously, without any worry in her eyes, but rather a hint of pride, and remarked, "Thinking back two years ago, you even needed your father to force you to practice boxing with a stick, always running off to mingle with those little brats in Cangwu City."
At this point, Madam Wen paused for two breaths, her mind filled with scenes of Wen Ping’s exchanges with Chen Xie, then she further reflected, "Now you not only bear the heavy responsibility of the Immortal Sect but also steer your crew through the river in stormy weather like an experienced captain. Your father and I are so proud of you!"
Back in the Immortal Sect, she did not wish for or force Wen Ping to become a formidable figure, not because she didn’t want her child to succeed.
But because she understood the world’s harsh truth.
She knew the difficulties of cultivation.
So, she just wished for Wen Ping’s happiness.
But her child really grew up into a dragon.
How could she not be proud?
How could she not be excited?
Wen Ping’s heart skipped a beat at his mother’s praise, then he spoke solemnly, "Mother, rest assured, from now on, no one can force you to do things you dislike. Should the Long Family dare, I will not hesitate to act righteously! Should Wuqi King dare, I will kill him!"
"With your current strength and the foundation of the Immortal Sect, who would dare force me to do things I dislike?" Madam Wen couldn’t help but laugh.
However, there was still a proud tear at the corner of her eye.
Following that, Wen Ping chatted with Madam Wen about the Immortal Sect, talked about the current people in the Immortal Sect, until Long Ye arrived in the courtyard bringing Wen’s father.
Boom—
A sudden white light descended.
Wen Ping’s laughter ceased abruptly.
The expressions of the many elders of the Long Family also froze.
Because they recognized Wen Yan.
Wen Yan once served as a servant for Long Ye and for Long Xue as well.
Only Luo Liuxin seemed unaffected, looking at Wen Yan with a calm expression, as if she had known all along.
"Old Yan!"
Madam Wen’s voice rose.
Upon stepping out of the white light, Wen’s father immediately turned joyfully towards his wife and son upon hearing the voice, "Xue, you look haggard."
"Missing you makes me so."
"I missed you too!"
The two of them jogged a couple of steps and tightly embraced each other.
Wen Ping helplessly coughed, "Are you two really blind to our presence?"
"We’ve seen you for over ten years now." Wen’s father retorted unexpectedly, and then turned back to hold Madam Wen, feeling her warmth.
Luo Liuxin had initially been waiting outside with the Long Family people, but witnessing this scene, she promptly signaled everyone to disperse.
This made Wen Ping even more fond of this Long Family matriarch, Luo Liuxin, for her high emotional intelligence and knowing when to do what.
Thus, he felt awkward to trouble this ’fake’ granny of his.
However, if she continued being this smart, doing things that always put him at ease, perhaps he might genuinely consider not troubling this ’fake’ granny.
"Father, you keep hugging. I’ll go clear out everyone in Celestial Sun City, so you two can enjoy your time together."
With that, Wen Ping really turned to leave.
His father finally released his arms and hurriedly grabbed Wen Ping, "You brat, how does hugging my wife bother you?"
"No bother at all, you keep hugging. I’m leaving now and definitely won’t interrupt you. I’ll wait till I finish up, then give you a welcome gift. You wouldn’t know, but to get that, a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm Demon Ancestor had to die... But looking at you, I guess you’re not interested."
Wen Ping sighed regretfully, lightly freeing himself from his father’s grip and stepped outside.
Upon mentioning a welcome gift,
and that it required the death of a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm Demon Ancestor to acquire, Wen’s father instantly became spirited.
He quickly released Madam Wen, caught up to Wen Ping in two steps, and eagerly asked, "Where’s my good son’s welcome gift?"
"Aren’t you hugging anymore?"
"What’s it to you—"
Wen’s father looked annoyed, amusing Madam Wen to no end.
Wen Ping chuckled, "I wouldn’t dare intervene! The gift, it’s already with my mother. If you dare, go snatch it from her."
Wen’s father glanced at Madam Wen, saw her nod with a smile, and gave up, quickly asking, "What did this boy give you?"
"A Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm Demon Servant," Madam Wen answered truthfully.
Wen Yan was shocked.
A Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm Demon Servant!
Wow!
This boy has grown to this level?
On the battlefield, even in the entire You Country, a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm Demon Ancestor could dominate all beings, yet in the Immortal Sect, it’s already reduced to a Demon Servant!
"Where is it?"
Wen’s father quickly asked.
Madam Wen glanced at the Primordial Vast·Emperor of Sky Splitting, "It’s him."
Wen’s father stared intensely at the Emperor of Sky Splitting, filled with excitement. When Primordial Vast·Emperor of Sky Splitting called Wen’s father ’master’ at Wen Ping’s behest, Wen’s father was both terrified and overjoyed.
Heaven Unrestricted Demon Servant!
And it’s a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm Demon Servant!
It’s like a dream come true.
(That’s it for the warm moments... I’m not good at being sentimental, so I’ve written a different kind of reunion scene. Besides, reunions should be joyful and happy.)
