Chapter 301: Chapter 246: Last Wish_2
Su Yuan casually cast a Holy Light Technique on Ji Xiaoâan and said, âItâs inconvenient to talk here, come with us.â
âOkay⊠okay!â
Ji Xiaoâan immediately 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, âGo ahead.â
âThank you, Teacher Xia.â
âŠ
Liu Lin led the group to a secluded spot. As Su Yuan was weighing his words, Ji Xiaoâan, who had been full of emotions moments ago, calmed down.
âMy dad⊠something happened to him, didnât it?â Ji Xiaoâan 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 Xiaoâanâs eyes immediately reddened. He recognized at once that it was his fatherâs Space Ring. With trembling hands, he reached out and took it.
âWasnât he supposed to be a coach at the martial arts hall? I asked around, and people said he quit over a year ago!â
âI searched everywhere and finally found the guild where he was doing overseas business. But they said he had disappeared long ago.â
âI remember that personâs eyes were full of pity and sympathy when he looked at me. I knew⊠Dad, you must have been in trouble!â
âDad, you lied to me for so longâŠâ
âIf it werenât for not receiving your remittances for over two months in a row, I wouldnât have known you died out there!â
ââŠâ
At this point, Ji Xiaoâan couldnât hold back his tears anymore. They overflowed from his eyes and streamed down his cheeks.
Even though Ji Xiaoâan had mentally prepared himself, confirming the outcome still overwhelmed him with the grief flooding from his heart.
Su Yuan and the others remained silent. At such a moment, he needed to vent his emotions himself. Offering comfort would only have a negative effect.
The loss of a close family member was too heavy for a university student who had just turned eighteen.
Situ Qingyin looked at Ji Xiaoâan, who sat on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably with the ring in his hands. She couldnât help but clutch her chest and take several deep breaths.
Situ Qingyin seemed to deeply feel the boyâs 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 Xiaoâan to gradually suppress his sorrow.
âTh-thank youâŠâ Ji Xiaoâanâs voice was low. âCan I ask what exactly happened to my dad?â
Su Yuan pondered for a moment and then truthfully told him about the incident where they were ambushed by the white-haired girl in the Qiuyun Mountain Range.
At that time, 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 Xiaoâan 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 Xiaoâan remained silent for a long time, then suddenly asked in a deep voice, âBrother Su, do you know the background of that murderer?â
Su Yuan could see that Ji Xiaoâan was filled with some resentment.
After all, Ji Ping had been killed by someone, not by a fierce beast or a natural disaster.
Having resentment was normal. Without it, one would be heartless.
Su Yuan shook his head, âI donât know. However, she had certain unique traits. I have already asked my teacher to investigate, but it seems there has been no progress yet.â
After returning from Black Snow Country, Su Yuan handed the black-haired girlâs body and ring to Yang Yifeng. Yang Yifeng said he would report it for investigation, but so far, there had been no results.
Ji Xiaoâan looked at Su Yuan and pleaded, âBrother Su, if you find anything, please make sure to tell me.â
Su Yuan pondered for a moment and said, âThis matter seems quite unusual. If the situation allows, I will inform you.â
Ji Xiaoâan was already very satisfied with this and immediately thanked him, âThank you, Brother Su!â
Su Yuan nodded, his gaze falling on the ring in Ji Xiaoâanâs hand.
âYour father was very proud of you. Take a look at what he left for you.â
Ji Xiaoâan nodded. Holding the ring, with a thought, he took out everything inside it.
Besides some of Ji Pingâs personal belongings, there was a Blue Star Card, a Green-Grade Ice Element longsword, and a little over thirty Cent Star Stones.
Ji Xiaoâan was stunned. He picked up the Blue Star Card and the longsword. After taking a closer look, he couldnât help but bite his lip tightly.
The tears that had just stopped flowed uncontrollably once again, dripping onto the ground.
âDad!âŠâ
âŠ
A long time later, Liu Lin and Ji Xiaoâan escorted Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin to the entrance of the academy.
âThis is as far as weâll go.â Su Yuan cupped his hands in thanks. âVice President Liu, thank you for the trouble today.â
Liu Lin adjusted her glasses, âThe one who should be thanking you is me. Thank you both for making this special trip for our academyâs student.â
Despite still being immersed in sorrow, Ji Xiaoâan sincerely said to Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin, âBrother Su, Sister Situ, thank you. Thank you for avenging my father and telling me about him.â
Situ Qingyin stepped forward and encouraged, âDonât be too depressed. Living your best life is what your father would want to see the mostâŠâ
These were ordinary words of comfort, and Ji Xiaoâan didnât take them to heart at first.
But when he looked into Situ Qingyinâs eyes, his heart couldnât help but tremble!
Those who had experienced psychological trauma sympathize with each other.
Then, the one who had suffered more would comfort the otherâŠ
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 Xiaoâanâs.
Liu Lin couldnât understand, but at this moment, Ji Xiaoâan could deeply resonate with the sadness that Situ Qingyin bore.
Ji Xiaoâanâs pupils trembled slightly, âSister⊠Situ?â
Situ Qingyin reached out and ruffled his short hair, smiling softly, âIâve always believed this. I hope you can also grow stronger.â
After saying that, Situ Qingyin stepped back.
Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin nodded to Liu Lin once more before turning and leavingâŠ
As for the items in Ji Xiaoâanâs ringâŠ
After learning that Ji Xiaoâan 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 Xiaoâan 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 someone noble like Situ Qingyin might have influenced him. He didnât mind helping this young man.
The Ice Crystal Blast Slash was remarkable, but it was not crucial to him at the moment.
Ji Pingâs 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 manâs wishâŠ
