Chapter 397 – Secret Love; Knowing the Truth (6)
“Mom, dad, where’s second sister? How come second sister is not home?”
Ever since Luo Junhao had joined the Clan of Magical Swords, he had been cultivating behind closed door. Under the careful cover up from his parents, he didn’t entire know what had been going on with his second sister.
One could even say that he had no idea what had happened to Luo Yuqin.
However, he had always been closed to his second sister and he liked her a lot. Contrarily, he wasn’t a big fan of his older sister who had always tried to take advantage of him.
Now that he was home and noticed that his older sister and her entire family was there but his second sister was missing. He couldn’t help but thought that something unusual must have happened.
There had been too many visitors in the last two days so he never had an opportunity to ask the question that he had in mind; that was, until tonight.
Hearing his question, Luo Zhengde didn’t look too happy. He turned his head slightly and remained silent.
Mrs. Luo knew what he was thinking and shared the entire story about her second daughter, all the way up to them being kicked out of Emperor City’s Cheng’s.
After hearing the entire story, Luo Junhao’s look was stone-cold and a killer’s intent could be seen in his eyes. He said coldly, “These Cheng’s, they were all evil!”
Immediately after that, he looked at his own father dubiously, “Dad, why were you so against second sister to be with second brother-in-law? As long as they are in love with each other, why weren’t you supportive of them? Instead of letting second sister not being able to come home for over 10 years. Don’t you think that’s a bit….”
While Luo Junhao didn’t want to blame his father for anything, he cared too much about his second sister to not grumble at least a little.
“Junhao, your dad only had your best interest in mind!” Mrs. Luo proceeded to tell him about her husband’s plans.
“He wanted to marry second sister into Clan of Magical Swords?”
Luo Junhao was speechless. He genuinely couldn’t find the words. His father only objected his second sister and second sister-in-law to be together for him, but….
Thinking about the Clan of Magical Swords, Luo Junhao felt that he must cleared something up, “Dad, it was a good thing that you didn’t send second sister into the Clan of Magical Swords. Otherwise, she would have been long dead!”
“What do you mean by that?” Luo Guohui suddenly whipped around and asked.
Mrs. Luo was stunned for a second and, baffled, asked, “Junhao, why would you curse your second sister like that?”
“Mom, it was not my intention to wish any ill will upon second sister!”
Luo Guohao continued in a low voice, “Mom, dad, you have no idea what it was like inside the Clan of Magical Swords. You have no idea how brutal the politics were inside there. One wrong word out of you, it could be a life and death matter. I am not kidding. The idea of survival of the fitness was well observed within the Clan of Magical Swords. There were no reasonings. As long as you are strong enough, you can be completely unreasonably. Nobody would disagree with you. Quite the contrary, you would win the respect of others.”
“Of course we know that. What does that have to do with whether your second sister getting into the Clan of Magical Swords or not?” That was the crux of the fall out between Luo Zhengde and his youngest daughter; naturally, he was very concerned about what his son was telling them.
“It has everything to do with it!”
Luo Junhao took a deep breath, gave his father the most solemn look and said, “Dad, do you think there was a lot of difference between a man and a woman at a place like that? In the world of cultivators, everybody eyed the resources that would help them level up in their cultivators. The higher level you could reach, the more resources you would get. Dad, second sister was just a martial apprentice back then. What do you think was her odds of survival?”
“…..” Luo Zhengde was wordless!
“Never mind whether second sister would be blessed by being married to one of the sacred disciples. Even if she did, there’s no guarantee that she’d live either. Do you have any idea how many wives and concubines of sacred disciples die every year? Countless wives and concubines of martial spiritualist levels die mysteriously. What do you think they all died of? They were murdered!”
