Chapter 399 – Secret Love; Knowing the Truth (8)
The words of Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun’s engagement came out of the blue right when almost every single disciple of the Clan of Magical Swords was about to head toward Willow Village. The news crushed many people’s fantasy.
Finally, the news of Clan Master Qin being at Willows – no, the now Sacred Land Zhongyuan – spread. That had finally quelled the clamoring from the disciples of the Clan of Magical Swords.
They might really want to take the Cheng’s possessions but they still wouldn’t dare to touch the place where Clan Master Qin was currently location. They knew that nothing good would come out of that if they tried.
When Luo Junhao first heard the news, he almost took a trip to Sacred Land Zhongyan along with his fellow disciples, but as he received the letter from his parents, he decided to pay them a visit first.
As now that he was home and learned that this place that all the disciples had been talking about turned out to be family of his second sister, he wasn’t sure how to react to that. He felt as though the was dreaming.
If he hadn’t found that out directly from his mother, he never would have believed it. He’d assume that he was being pranked.
“Jun-er, you should take a trip to Qing’an Province and pay your second sister a visit. It has been over 10 years and we’ve heard that even your niece was already engaged, and mom hasn’t even met her yet!” Mrs. Luo felt a sense of loss.
“Okay, I will go pay second sister and second brother-in-law a visit in the next couple of days!”
Luo Junhao glanced over at his father and nodded in agreement when he didn’t see any objective from him.
Of course, Luo Zhengde wouldn’t object to it. Deep down inside, he was already regretful about his past behavior and had a lot of guilt toward this younger daughter of his. He never should have turned his back to them while they were down on luck.
“That being said, mom, dad, what’s going on with big sister and her family. Why are they all staying here with us?”
Luo Junhao wasn’t asking about them because he didn’t like his big sister. Certainly, he wasn’t a big fan of hers, but they were siblings after all. But as she had married in Mingdong sect many years ago, he felt it was odd that her entire family was staying at his parents’ place.
“Aye, this big sister of yours was such….”
Mrs. Luo grumbled a little, then, she proceeded to tell him about how his big sister and her family were eyeing the Cheng’s possessions and went to their place; how they were so rude that they were kicked out; and how they were not able to complete the assignment given to them from Mingdong and had no choice but to come and stay with them for the time being!
After hearing his mother’s recounting of the event, Luo Junhao looked about as unhappy as he could be; if they weren’t his family, he would have kicked them out of their place too.
“Junhao, I trust that you know what the two young men of the Tian’s want from you.” Luo Zhengde chimed in slowly. Looking at his son, he continued, “Even though they are my grandsons and it’s probably wrong of me to say this: they are not morally sound individuals, if you really take them to the Clan of Magical Swords, I worry that they will drag you down sooner or later, or, worst, bring out incidents that would threaten your life. You should just ignore them.”
“Well, I didn’t really know them that well in the last few days, but now that I am aware of their true colors, naturally I would not keep them around me. Mom, dad, it is probably not a good idea for them to stay with us long term. Why don’t we pay them some money so they can purchase their own house, anywhere but our place!” said Luo Junhow, somewhat ruthlessly.
“That….”
Mrs. Luo felt bad about it, after all, this was her own daughter. Luo Zhengde, on the other hand, nodded and said, “I agree with Junhao. It was, indeed, not a good idea to keep them around in this house. Just look at our maids, all of them were avoiding the brothers of them like they were lepers.”
