Chapter 307: 171, 172. Secretly Control Dashang, No One Can Rival Shou (Seeking Subscriptions)_3

Between her full head of black hair, a strand or two of inconspicuous gray hair had begun to appear... a clear sign of overwork.

And all of these were reminders to Song Cheng of one thing: his loved ones and his beloved were all aging and eventually, they would die.

When that day really came, he didn’t know how much sorrow he would feel.

So...

"When we reach the Imperial Capital, you and Madam Tong should practice martial arts together, practice hard until you reach the Qi Realm. Once your body is healthy, everything will be all right," he had said.

"What about the Yingui Association?"

"You should find some deputy directors, establish some protectors, messengers, and so on... The bigger the power grows, you can’t possibly shoulder it all alone."

"But the secret of Ting, it must not be known to others."

"Then we’ll just stop here, and let Ting return to being the obedient little girl she once was..."

...

...

"Hoot..."

"Hoot hoot..."

"Hoot hoot..."

The brown owl was perched on an ancient tree in the wastelands of the north.

The wind blew, the tree swayed, even though it was the season of warm spring flowers, there wasn’t a hint of warmth here.

"Hoot hoot..."

"Hoot hoot..."

The owl kept making its sound, low like a muffled drum, yet like a sinister laugh.

In the night, it was like a sharp needle piercing through the eardrum.

Under the moonlight that scattered everywhere, its feathers reflected a degree of coldness.

The owl was bowing its head.

Under the ancient tree, a kind-looking old man with a walking stick was tilting his head up.

A man and a bird faced each other, as if both were extremely curious to have encountered the other here.

After a long look, the old man took the initiative to bow, paying respects to the bird with a gentle salute.

The owl responded with a "hoot hoot hoot," as if laughing.

The old man spoke in a kind voice, "So the senior has really succeeded... It seems, it truly is possible."

"Hoot hoot hoot..." the owl laughed.

Seeing that the other party was not interested in talking, the old man bowed once again, turned around... and disappeared...

The owl watched the old man leave, then lifted its slightly trembling legs, spread its wings, flew off into the distance, and vanished.

...

...

Creak...

Song Cheng pushed open the door and saw Ting still painting; he sat down next to her, glanced at her work in the moonlight, and said, "An owl."

"I can already paint lots of things now..." Ting made a cute sound, but her voice trembled slightly.

Song Cheng smiled and praised, "Ting is amazing," then said, "In a few days, our family will move to the Imperial Capital. Once we’re there, daddy will take you out to play."

He had decided to put aside many things for now.

No matter how busy he was, he needed to make time for his daughter.

"Daddy..."

Ting, waving her hand, suddenly said, "Just now, I saw an old man. He was very scary, and I was terrified, but the old man didn’t move, so I didn’t either. We just stared at each other...

Then the old man suddenly said ’The senior has actually succeeded’, and I just kept laughing. After a while, the old man ran away. And I ran away too."

After speaking, her face turned pale, and she quickly added, "It was far in the north, where it’s impossible for people to be..."

After all, she was still a child, and the old man had exuded an immense oppressive force on her, even greater than any of the many dead she had seen.

This tremendous pressure made her involuntarily seek help from her closest family member.

Song Cheng’s pupils narrowed as he asked, "What did he look like?"

Ting started drawing frantically.

In no time, the likeness of an amiable old man appeared on the paper.

This face was the same one that Song Cheng had encountered in the Extreme Joy World, the "Physician."

Song Cheng asked for more details.

But Ting’s encounter with the physician was purely coincidental, and the whole process was very mysterious.

Song Cheng held Ting, whose face was pale, and couldn’t see how his daughter resembled a "senior" in any way.

It must have been a misunderstanding by that "Mysterious Doctor."

However, why he had made the mistake...

What had Ting succeeded in doing?

Song Cheng narrowed his eyes.

This unexpected incident further solidified his resolve to leave the north quickly and took the protection of the secret of the "North Fall Sect" a step further.

If the "Mysterious Doctor" found out that Ting was not the "senior" he had mistaken her for, the consequences... unthinkable.

Luckily, Ting was clever enough not to say anything like "Mom told me not to talk to strangers."

That night...

Ting, who had been frightened, snuggled up with her parents and had a sleep before continuing to sit coldly in a dark corner, painting.

Sister An and Madam Tong were preparing for the relocation, striving to finish within a few days and then depart.

In the meantime, An Chenyu had issued a special decree for the Yingui Association — the "North Fall Sect" was the forbidden secret of the Yingui Association, and anyone who carelessly discussed it would die!

After establishing this rule, An Chenyu ordered all the Medicinal Humans: those who recklessly spoke of the North Fall Sect would be killed without mercy.

...

...

Song Cheng then looked for Su Mengzhen.

He wanted to persuade his elder sister-in-law to move the whole clan to the Imperial Capital.

At that moment, the elder sister-in-law didn’t seem cooperative, just leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, saying, "So you’re just going to pull up your pants and leave?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Song Cheng really couldn’t figure out the elder sister-in-law...

Sometimes she was noble and graceful, other times coarse and vulgar.

Therefore, he sighed lightly and said, "I’m from the Immortal Tower, and now I have acknowledged my ancestors and returned to my clan."

Su Mengzhen was stunned for a moment and then suddenly asked, "You mean the Immortal Tower of the Mysterious Lady?"

Song Cheng didn’t know why his elder sister-in-law was bringing up his lady right now, but he nodded his head.

Su Mengzhen said, "You want my Su Family to move with you to the Imperial Capital. I might not be able to do that because the other clan members probably won’t agree...

But Yu and I should be able to carry the Ice Coffin and follow you. Plus, the old man Su Houzhang is already dead, his Ice Coffin is empty, you can take that too.

However, I have a condition."

Song Cheng really didn’t want to smile wryly, but he had a premonition about what Su Mengzhen would request.

Indeed, Su Mengzhen said, "I want to meet the Mysterious Lady."
