Shadow Mask Group

97 - Wu Xianlun

The cloaked man who helped Zhang Jiangwu had now finished cleaning the 'corals'. To be exact, it was already finished helping teacher Zhang Jiangwu's adopted daughter. Zhao Yu's son had fainted. The bone wings on his back had already disappeared.

The way that the robed person did to make Zhao Yu's son aware, was the same as what Zhao Yu had told Zhang Jiangwu back then.

The robed man approached Zhang Jiangwu and helped him stand up. "Are you okay?"

Zhang Jiangwu was surprised, although his expression was still flat. The voice he heard was very clear. His voice was similar to someone he knew. Zhang Jiangwu stood up and looked into the eyes of the person who helped him closely.

"Hm.. You've been hurt like this. But your expression did not show any expression of pain at all. You're great too. But next time, don't fight someone like that. You're gonna be hard to beat him. Because you can't destroy it. You will only kill those controlled people" explained the cloaked man.

"Thank you," Zhang Jiangwu slightly lowered his head. He felt grateful because the people in front of him had helped him.

"Ah, no problem. Then you take care of the girl. I'll leave," the robed man turned his back on Zhang Jiangwu and intended to leave.

However, before that happened, Zhang Jiangwu opened his voice, "Who?"

The cloaked man turned around and looked at Zhang Jiangwu, "You can call me Steve," after saying his name, Steve immediately left the bewildered Zhang Jiangwu.

According to Zhang Jiangwu, that name was a strange name. He never heard of a name like that. Zhang Jiangwu was still focused on his mind. The voice he heard, the posture and eyes of Steve made Zhang Jiangwu astonished because he felt he knew Steve. But, from the name of the cloaked person, it was completely different.

Engghh

Hearing the muttering sound, Zhang Jiangwu turned his head back. He saw that his teacher's foster son was beginning to wake up. He approached her immediately.

The next day, Zhang Jiangwu and the daughter of his teacher were currently in a fairly large city. He had already told everything that had happened to his teacher's son ever since he came to his senses. His teacher's son was Zhao Wei. He looks 17 years old. But in fact, he lived 1,000 years ago. This happened because he was sealed at that time which made him still look young.

Zhao Wei looked sad ever since Zhang Jiangwu told Zhao Yu what had happened. He did not think that his adoptive father was dead. Zhang Jiangwu himself could not do anything to comfort Zhao Wei. He's not great in this field.

They had not yet reached the sky sword sect because it was located quite far away. Also, because now they walk like ordinary humans. This was due to Zhao Wei being unable to move quickly to slow down Zhang Jiangwu.

Zhang Jiangwu intended to bring Zhao Wei to the sect where he lived. Because there's no way he's taking Zhao Wei to the base. Because there are many secrets about the identity of each member of which no resident knows. He did not fully believe in the current Zhao Wei.

After walking for about 1 week, they finally arrived at the sky sword sect.

Flashback end~

Inside the headquarters, Liu Chen met Zhang Jiangwu in the main room. "Where are you head Guang (Zhang Jiangwu)? You have been so long" Liu Chen said.

"Urusan" Zhang Jiangwu said briefly.

Liu Chen raised next to his brows, "What business until you don't come back?"

"It's none of your business."

"I thought you would answer me like that" Liu Chen murmured. Although it was just a murmur, Zhang Jiangwu could hear it clearly. Because in the main room there was only himself and Liu Chen.

Liu Chen looked back at Zhang Jiangwu. He frowned, "Why are you watching me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

Zhang Jiangwu shook his head. It was impossible for him to say that someone was similar to Liu Chen. To be exact, the person who had helped Zhang Jiangwu was similar to Liu Chen.

"I'll leave," Zhang Jiangwu immediately stood up and left Liu Chen inside the main room.

Liu Chen just stared at Zhang Jiangwu's back which was getting further away. He stood up and left the room. He did not walk with Zhang Jiangwu. The direction of destination is both different.

Not far from Liu Chen, Wu Xianlun appeared to be walking towards Liu Chen. He carried something in his hand.

When Liu Chen crossed paths with Wu Xianlun, he greeted as usual. "Where are you going?"

Wu Xianlun raised his bowed face, he looked towards Liu Chen. "W-anu.. Chairman Xun.. Sa-I want to give this to you," Wu Xianlun thrusting a bowl filled with food.

Liu Chen accepted happily, "Did you make it?"

Wu Xianlun nodded. "Se-may chief Xun like. I learned to cook long enough."

"It looks good. I'm not hungry right now, but I'm gonna eat it. Thanks Hua. Study diligently," Liu Chen smiled. His right hand was stretched out and stroked the head of Wu Xianlun who was bowed again.

Liu Chen immediately passed away leaving Wu Xianlun. He did not notice at all the change in Wu Xianlun's face that had turned red.

Wu Xianlun immediately left quickly. He went in a different direction to Liu Chen. His heart was racing fast as if he had been in a marathon race.

Liu Chen sat down at one of the empty tables. He sat in the corner of the room. No member of the group dared to disturb Liu Chen's composure.

Liu Chen immediately stored the food bowl Wu Xianlun gave him. Inside the bowl was a meat soup that looked delicious.

When going to eat the soup, the table was suddenly kicked by someone to make some soup fall to the table. Liu Chen glanced at the person beside who had already kicked through his desk.

Turns out he was his best friend. "Qiangs. Why are you bothering me?"

Song Quon chuckled, "Hehe's sorry. I just wanted to surprise you earlier, "Song Quon is sitting opposite Liu Chen. He immediately grabbed the soup that was near Liu Chen. He even snatched the spoon the young man was holding.

Song Quon began to taste the soup from the food. "Uhukis.. Uhuk.."

"What's wrong?" confused Liu Chen.

"Why does it taste so salty? Are all kinds of salt put in here in large quantities? Actually who made this?! Because the taste of this food was so bad", Song Quon distanced the soup bowl. He also put his spoon back.

Liu Chen raised next to his brows, "All that made it. He said he made this. He also said that he had learned to cook for quite a long time, then this was the result. Is it that bad?"

"You try it yourself. It was like eating salt, "even though it didn't eat the soup anymore, Song Quon's tongue still tasted salty.

Liu Chen tried the soup, he also choked and coughed for a while. He pushed the bowl to the center of the table, "You're right. It's very salty."

"You better throw that soup away. You might get sick from eating such an amazingly salty food" Song Quon said.

"I can't throw it away. Hua made this hard. I told him I was going to eat this soup. When I throw it away, it means I don't appreciate it," Liu Chen brought the soup bowl closer to her again. He put the soup in his mouth again. "Uhukis.. Uhuk.."

"Have it, there is no need to force yourself to eat it. That's very salty. You can't possibly finish that meal."

Liu Chen did not listen to Song Quon. He ate the soup in front of him. Sometimes he coughed. Seeing that, Song Quon shook his head. "I'll go first" he stood up.

Liu Chen simply nodded in return. After that, Song Quon went to look for Wu Xianlun.

After a dozen minutes of searching, Song Quon finally met the woman in the garden of the courtyard of the headquarters. He approached her, "Hua."

Wu Xianlun who was sitting with her friend immediately stood up, "Yes? What's the matter, deputy Qiang?"

"You better not give any more food to Chairman Xun" Song Quon said firmly.

"Pulse.. How did Vice Qiang know?" inner Wu Xianlun. "Is there something wrong with my food, deputy Qiang?"

"Your food is very salty. Even so, chief Xun still forced to eat it. Several times he coughed because of the salty soup you made. He won't throw it away because he appreciates you. So you better never give Chairman Xun your homemade food again. Do you understand?"

Wu Xianlun looked glum. However he immediately nodded, "I understand, I won't give my homemade food to Chairman Xun again."

Song Quon nodded, "Good. Now he was in the dining room, "he left Wu Xianlun with a female friend.

Wu Xianlun's friend stood up and looked at Wu Xianlun's face, "What's the matter?"

"I gave food to Chairman Xun. Then, Chief Xun forced me to eat my salty soup. I felt guilty, "the corner of Wu Xianlun's eyes began to water like it wanted to cry.

His friend rubbed Wu Xianlun's back, "Don't blame yourself."

Wu Xianlun wiped the tears that somewhat came out. He immediately ran towards the dining room. His friend immediately ran after Wu Xianlun.

At the headquarters dining. Currently Liu Chen looked like he was in the spotlight of the members there. Because he coughed a few times. All the members did not dare to approach. It was not for fear that Liu Chen would become ill and pass the disease on to them. However, it was because Liu Chen himself said not to bother him.

Shortly after, Wu Xianlun came and snatched away the bowl that was in front of Liu Chen. This incident left the members shocked. Liu Chen himself was no exception.

"It is better that Chairman Xun does not need to eat this anymore" Wu Xianlun said.

"But I told you I'd eat it. I can't possibly-"

"I don't want you to why napa. So it's best not to eat my cooking anymore. I won't be angry at you, because it's my fault. Forgive me," Wu Xianlun immediately left Liu Chen.

Wu Xianlun's friend who followed him turned around. Because Wu Xianlun is leaving.

After the departure of the two women, the dining room instantly became silent. No one spoke a single word. Everyone is still digesting what happened. It's not unexpected. Even for Liu Chen himself. He did not expect something like this to happen.
