Chapter 919: Chapter 920: We Are Family After All
After sitting down in the living room of the main villa, Lin Fei learned from Leng Ying that during the month he was in seclusion enhancing Qiansong Hechuan’s strength, people from all major sects and martial arts families in East Asian Country had visited the Qiansong family.
They all wanted to pay respects to Lin Fei and brought many valuable gifts, such as ginseng, pearls, bird’s nests, and so on.
However, when they learned that Lin Fei was in secluded cultivation, they dared not disturb him any further, and gradually, the Qiansong family regained its peace.
Finally, Leng Ying told Lin Fei, “Also, the new Sect Leader of the East Japan Sword Sect, Koizumi Tōru, also came looking for you, but upon learning you were in seclusion, he did not disturb you.”
“He said the East Japan Sword Saint is dead, and after you burned down the East Japan Sword Sect’s house, they have begun reconstruction at the old site.”
Lin Fei nodded, knowing it was inevitable that the East Japan Sword Saint would die from exhaustion after having all his martial arts power absorbed.
Lin Fei then asked Leng Ying, “And, have you found out what happened to Fujinagawa?”
“These days, I did go to Mount Fuji to investigate. Since you crippled the martial arts of Fujinagawa and Qinghe Sword, Fujishiro, Fujimura Mingxuan, and Fujishima Penggao, whom we released, have all left Mount Fuji, and all other experts have also completely left. The Fujishiro family is now only a shadow of its former self.”
Leng Ying shared what he knew: “Now, only Fujinagawa and Qinghe Sword are left on Mount Fuji; besides these two, there is no one else.”
Lin Fei nodded slightly, it seemed that after he crippled Fujinagawa and Qinghe Sword’s martial arts, the people of the Fujishiro family, fearing they would be implicated by Fujinagawa, had left completely.
The Fujishiro family could no longer threaten the Qiansong family.
Lin Fei then said to Qiansong Hechuan, “Uncle, now that the Qiansong family has no more issues, I should also return to Huaxia.”
Qiansong Hechuan suddenly remarked, “Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I returned to Huaxia, and I’ve heard that my mentor is in trouble, so I also wish to return with you to find him.”
He had already learned from his daughter Qian Songyixue that Lin Zheng was in the Western Regions, surrounded and severely injured by unidentified Martial Saints, and finally, to save himself, he had frozen himself in a lake using the Great Nirvana Heart Sutra.
Therefore, he very much wanted to go with Lin Fei to find his mentor.
Lin Fei said, “Uncle, now the Western Regions are covered in heavy snow, with lakes frozen over; searching for our mentor can only happen when the weather warms next year.
Moreover, the Qiansong family has many businesses in East Asian Country, and you might not be able to leave.”
Qiansong Hechuan smiled and said, “Lin Fei, you wouldn’t expect it, but I am a Huaxia person, and over the years, I’ve invested most of the Qiansong Group’s funds into Huaxia.”
“Whenever I want, I can return to Huaxia at any time, and as for the businesses in East Asian Country, even from Huaxia, I can control them remotely.”
Lin Fei had no doubt about Qiansong Hechuan’s business acumen, as the richest man in East Asian Country.
However, he was indeed surprised to hear that Qiansong Hechuan was a Huaxia person.
“Uncle, you’re a Huaxia person, but why is your name Qiansong Hechuan?” Lin Fei couldn’t help but ask Qiansong Hechuan.
“Lin Fei, my father’s name was Li Hechuan, Qiansong is my mother’s surname, and my grandfather was also my maternal grandfather. Back then, to protect you from being killed by Huaxia experts, my father took my mother, my brother, and me to the grandfather’s place in East Asian Country, taking my mother’s surname and settling there.” At this time, Qian Songyixue explained to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei was stunned to realize that Qian Songyixue’s father had moved the family across the sea to East Asian Country to protect him back then.
Does this mean he lived in East Asian Country as a child?
But why does he not remember any of it?
As if knowing what Lin Fei was thinking, Qiansong Hechuan said to Lin Fei, “You lived in East Asian Country until you were five years old, and then your mentor took you and Yixue back to Huaxia’s Kunlun Mountain to start teaching you martial arts and medicine.”
Lin Fei finally understood that he returned to Huaxia at five years old, which is why he had no memories of East Asian Country.
“Uncle, your life-saving grace and upbringing are something I, Lin Fei, will remember forever. Please allow me to kneel and bow to you.” Lin Fei immediately tried to kneel and kowtow to Qiansong Hechuan.
But Qiansong Hechuan quickly stopped him, saying, “Lin Fei, there’s no need for such formalities. Your parents were my senior brother and sister, and in recent days you helped the Qiansong family through life-and-death crises and even helped me enhance my skills. If anyone should be grateful, it should be me thanking you.”
“Alright, you two don’t need to keep thanking each other; we are family.” Qian Songyixue, feeling a bit overwhelmed, said to the two of them.
Qiansong Hechuan and Lin Fei looked at Qian Songyixue, and both couldn’t help but laugh, indeed acknowledging that they were like a family.
Because Lin Fei had lived with Qian Songyixue’s family when he was younger.
Qiansong Hechuan said to Lin Fei, “Yixue is right, we’re all family, so being too polite would make us seem like strangers. As long as you treat your senior sister well, I will be satisfied.”
Lin Fei understood the dual meaning in Qiansong Hechuan’s words; his uncle was entrusting his daughter to him.
“Uncle, rest assured, I will treat my senior sister well for my entire life,” Lin Fei promised.
A captivating blush appeared on Qian Songyixue’s face as she said to Qiansong Hechuan, “Dad, what are you talking about?~~~”
Qiansong Hechuan immediately pretended to be confused, laughing, “What did I say? I didn’t say anything.”
Everyone else couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
Then they all discussed returning to Huaxia since the Qiansong family no longer faced threats in East Asian Country, but Huaxia remained full of unpredictable dangers. Lin Fei ultimately advised Qiansong Hechuan to delay his return to Huaxia until a more suitable time.
Qiansong Hechuan wisely followed Lin Fei’s advice.
And naturally, Qian Songyixue would be returning to Huaxia with Lin Fei.
Two days later, Lin Fei, Qian Songyixue, and Leng Ying boarded a plane bound for Huaxia.
Outside Kyoto City, on Mount Fuji, the ancient temple halls and martial arts grounds once considered a sacred land of martial arts, no longer had the lively scenes from the past of experts practicing martial arts.
The desolate sunset shone on the martial arts grounds, where a high platform seated the withered, emaciated Fujinagawa with white hair falling down his face.
“Qinghe, my life is nearing its end, and while you are so young, you have been crippled of your martial arts, losing a promising future; it grieves me for you.” Fujinagawa weakly spoke to a young man standing beside him.
This young man was Qinghe Sword.
Since Lin Fei crippled his martial arts, he had been depressed, expressionless, and his gaze empty. These days, he couldn’t recover from the blow of turning from a genius into a cripple.
“Master, I want revenge, it was Xie Feng who harmed me!” Qinghe Sword clenched his fist tightly, his eyes sharp like a dog ready to bite.
“Xie Feng possesses the Beidou Array Map, a treasure that martial arts giants worldwide covet. Come closer, and I’ll let you know some people who can help you avenge your grievances.” Fujinagawa looked at Qinghe Sword and said.
Qinghe Sword immediately bent down, leaning closer to his master.
Fujinagawa then whispered something into Qinghe Sword’s ear with a weak voice.
After speaking, Fujinagawa looked at Qinghe Sword and asked, “Have you remembered all I told you?”
“Master, I have remembered,” Qinghe Sword nodded.
“Good, as long as you find these people and tell them Xie Feng has the Beidou Array Map, Xie Feng will meet an untimely end…” After saying this, Fujinagawa fell silent, his mouth agape, eyes closed.
Qinghe Sword looked shocked, then cried out in grief, “Master…”
