Chapter 139 - 139 Heavy Breath

139 Heavy Breath

Tears rolled down the principal’s face when he knelt. He did not expect his master to be alive and was very excited to see him.

Luo Jin’an seemed to recall some past events when he saw the older gentleman. Luo Jin’an’s face was full of melancholy as he hurriedly bent down to help the principal up. He said, “Mr. Kong, please stand.”

...

After gently pulling Mr. Kong up, Luo Jin’an said, “I am no longer your master.”

Mr. Kong choked up as he said, “Although your appearance has changed, we can still recognize you at a glance. You have suffered a lot.”

Mr. Kong knew what had happened that year but did not know the details. Still, his master must have experienced unimaginable things just to survive. Luo Jin’an used to be that kind of man, and everyone knew about him.

He was essentially a God in many people’s hearts. Unfortunately… Mr. Kong thought it was fortunate his master was still alive.

Meanwhile, Lin, the academy’s attendant, was also sobbing on the sidelines. In the past, he was an older man in the general’s mansion, but something happened later that caused the whole family to sacrifice themselves, so he followed Mr. Kong to Blue Mountain Academy.

That was an arrangement Princess Lin made before she died. She once said she would return and would meet her old friends there.

Everyone said Princess Lan was a bright and talented woman and felt she could predict the future when she was alive.

Luo Jin’an did not say anything at that moment, but the heavy aura he exuded carried a sense of tremendous pain.

“Master, something terrible must’ve happened that year. We don’t believe the general made a mistake in leading the army and that he died so easily. S-Still, his family…” Mr. Kong’s voice trembled when he spoke.

Luo Jin’an seemed to think of something as his eyes turned red. He said, “There are some things I can’t tell you yet, Mr. Kong.”

He refused to tell them anything because he was protecting them, and it was not the right time.

“B-But master…” Mr. Kong was anxious. It took a lot of effort for him to see his master again finally, so he wanted to do whatever he could for Luo Jin’an.

Luo Jin’an said firmly, “I have some plans, but now is not the time. I will redeem and avenge them one day.”

Mr. Kong revealed a determined expression. His master had done him a favor, so he would do whatever his master said. After talking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “Master, how did you make it here from the border? Did Princess Lan say anything to you before she died?”

Mr. Kong was careful when he mentioned Princess Lan, afraid he would upset his master. However, when he looked at Luo Jin’an’s expression, he realized Luo Jin’an looked calm when he heard Princess Lan’s name.

Luo Jin’an was not as sad as Mr. Kong imagined. He thought his master must have a hidden sadness in his heart and wondered if Princess Lan was still alive.

Before Princess Lan passed away, she said something only these three knew, and it was that she would return to meet them someday.

Luo Jin’an said faintly, “It’s a long story.”

…

In the meantime, Su Binglan felt a sense of familiarity as she walked around Blue Mountain Academy. It was as if she had been there before and seen its scenery.

She unknowingly walked to a secluded and quiet courtyard with a big tree. She seemed to hear someone calling her as she stood under it, “Princess Lan, why would you come here? It’s autumn, and the weather is cold. Your body can’t take it.”

“I’m fine. I simply came to see Blue Mountain Academy and am relieved to see it built.”

“Don’t worry, Princess Lan. We built Blue Mountain Academy according to your requests.”
