109 May the Seas Be Without Waves, May the Mountains and Rivers Be Safe, and May It Be Love at First Sight
25 years ago.
In the mountains of the Chu clan.
This was where the hidden Chu clan was located.
When ordinary people came here, they would only see a mountain range.
However, beyond the illusion, it was a terrifying family that had stood for 100,00 years.
A man in a white robe stepped into the mountain range in the dark night.
After passing through the mountains and the illusions, he arrived at the door of the legendary family.
The wind ruffled his clothes and hair, but Chu Shanhe stood there unmoving.
The door opened, and dozens of people rushed out.
“Chu Shanhe, you still have the face to come back?” A middle-aged man pointed at Chu Shanhe and rebuked him.
“The Chu family’s face has been completely lost by you! All the great ancient clans are talking about this scandal and treating us as a laughing stock. A man of the Chu clan actually left the Chu clan for a mortal woman. You’re not worthy of being a member of the Chu clan.”
Chu Shanhe opened his eyes and scanned the crowd.
His lips moved slightly.
“Where’s Qing’er?”
An elder pointed at Chu Shanhe and rebuked, “Bastard! You’re still thinking about that mortal woman? Do you really not put the Chu family and me, your uncle, in your eyes? The Chu family has always been particular about matching social status. Your marriage partner is a daughter of the Tian family!”
“I’ll ask again, where’s Qing’er?!”
Chu Shanhe extended his hand, and a sword slowly materialized!
“Impudent! You dare to show your weapon to the Chu clan?!” The old man looked at another old man beside him and said, “Chu Jianghai, you’ve raised a good son!”
Chu Jianghai looked at Chu Shanhe. His lips moved, but in the end, he did not say anything.
“That woman is in the Chu clan. If you can, take her away today!”
After hearing this, Chu Shanhe’s body was filled with hostility.
Whoosh!
He directly rushed into the Chu clan!
“Stop him! Don’t show any mercy!”
“Got it!”
A group of experts went up to confront him.
Chu Shanhe’s figure flickered in the crowd like a ghost.
When he rushed to the door, the group of people had already fallen to the ground unconscious or were wailing in pain.
Everyone’s eyes narrowed.
This kid’s strength was really terrifying!
Chu Shanhe’s eldest uncle, Chu Mingwei, narrowed his eyes.
“Where are the guardians of the Chu clan?!”
Dozens of figures fell into the night sky.
“Control him!” Chu Mingwei ordered.
“Dust-Sealing!”
Chu Shanhe’s eyes narrowed as his aura exploded!
In the night sky, the sound of weapons colliding at an extremely high frequency and specks of cold light could be heard.
“Don’t let him enter the Chu clan!”
After a long time…
A figure covered in blood and tattered clothes rushed into the Chu clan.
He was surrounded by dozens of people from all directions.
Gulp!
Chu Shanhe’s eldest uncle, Chu Mingwei, and the others gulped.
“He’s only 25 years old. How could he have such terrifying strength?”
Chu Mingwei wiped the cold sweat from his wrinkled forehead and said, “What’s the point? He’s already heavily injured. Stop him!”
Chu Shanhe held his sword in one hand and dragged his staggering body forward.
The people in front of him were full of fear.
As Chu Shanhe moved forward, they subconsciously retreated.
The people behind Chu Shanhe only dared to approach slowly with their swords in their hands. No one dared to make a move.
In front of him, a woman was tied to a wooden pole and kneeling with her head lowered.
“Qing’er!”
Chu Shanhe shouted when he saw her.
The woman slowly raised her head!
There was a ten-centimeter knife wound on her face, and blood stained her cheek.
Chu Shanhe’s eyes widened at the sight!
“Chu Shanhe…”
The woman’s eyes turned red when she saw him.
“What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up! He’s already an arrow at the end of its flight!” Chu Mingwei shouted.
Everyone looked at each other and then rushed forward.
Chu Shanhe gripped his sword tightly.
“Ah!”
He let out a long roar toward the sky, and his violent aura burst out.
“No… Shanhe, don’t.”
The woman sobbed and shook her head.
“Chu Shanhe, my good big brother, this is enough! Let’s end this!”
A man about the same age as Chu Shanhe rushed over!
Chu Shanhe remained where he was, but his sword flew out.
“Ah!”
An arm flew into the sky and landed on the ground.
Tens of thousands of sword shadows appeared in the void!
Everyone raised their heads!
Their pupils contracted!
“This is…”
Boom!
The sword shadows fell!
Dust filled the air!
When the dust settled…
Everyone was lying on the ground, covered in blood and struggling to survive.
Gulp!
In the distance, everyone from the Chu clan widened their eyes in fear.
Chu Shanhe looked up at the woman in front of him, his blood-red eyes finally calming down.
He dragged his tired body and ran over to hug her without anyone stopping him.
“Qing’er!”
Chu Shanhe reached out his bloodied hand shakily and touched her cheek that had been cut by the knife. His eyes were red.
“Shanhe, I’m not worth it. I’m not worth it.”
The woman sobbed and shook her head.
“Let’s go,” he said.
He untied the woman.
Chu Mingwei swallowed his saliva.
“Chu Jianghai, aren’t you going to attack? Do you want your son to destroy the Chu family? You’ll be the Chu clan’s eternal sinner!” Chu Mingwei said to Chu Jianghai angrily.
Whoosh!
Chu Jianghai’s figure disappeared.
Chu Shanhe had just helped the woman up when he suddenly swung his sword behind him.
The tip of the sword was right in front of Chu Jianghai’s nose.
“Shanhe, enough!” Chu Jianghai looked at Chu Shanhe and said calmly.
“Father…”
“Look at how many people you’ve hurt in the Chu clan. How many more sins do you want to commit?”
Chu Shanhe’s blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings. The people were covered in blood and wailing in pain.
The sword in his hand fell to the ground.
“Come back and I’ll let bygones be bygones.” Chu Jianghai said as he looked at his son.
“Father!”
Chu Shanhe looked up at him.
“What did I do wrong?”
Chu Jianghai sighed.
“Sigh, you were born into the Chu family. This is your fate.”
“Hahaha, what a good life this is!”
Chu Shanhe laughed out loud.
Then, he looked at Chu Jianghai, and his lips moved slightly. “Father, your grandson is very cute. You should go and see him.”
Chu Jianghai did not say anything.
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Speak,” he said.
“Qing’er is innocent. A child can’t live without a mother.”
“I know.” Chu Jianghai nodded. “If you come back, I’ll make sure your lover is safe.”
“I hope your grandson won’t be involved in the disputes of the so-called unparalleled wealthy families. Leave him in a beautiful and quiet place, okay?”
“No problem,” he said.
“Thank you, Father.”
Then, Chu Shanhe looked at the woman behind him.
“Qing’er…”
He reached out to caress her tear-stained face, his face full of tenderness.
“Didn’t you want me to give our son a name? I’ve decided. I’ll call him Chu Bai. I hope he’ll have a pure and flawless life without any disputes and without any worldly grievances. I hope he’ll live a clean and relaxed life.”
The woman nodded while crying.
“Chu Bai…”
Chu Shanhe smiled, and then his lips touched her forehead.
“I love you,” he said gently.
Then, Chu Shanhe turned to look at Chu Jianghai, Chu Mingwei, and the rest of the Chu family!
“I’ll pay back what I owe the Chu clan today. From today onward, my Chu family will have nothing to do with the Chu clan! All grudges have been cleared!”
After he finished speaking, he pointed his middle and index finger at the sky. The sword on the ground flew into the sky and headed straight for his heart!
The sword pierced through his body.
“Shanhe!”
The woman’s pupils shrank as she shouted.
“My son!”
Chu Jianghai rushed over, but he was pushed back by a force.
Plop!
Chu Shanhe kneeled in front of Chu Jianghai with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
“If there’s a next life, may the rivers and seas be without waves, may the mountains and rivers… be safe… May it be love at first sight…”
…
Chu Bai suddenly sat up on the bed.
He hammered his head.
“Why am I having this dream again?”
Chu Bai frowned.
