The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 40: Zhong Liang's erased past! (2)

The baby's name would be Song Yan if it was a boy and Song Ji if it was a girl, Ji means happiness, and Yan means to swallow or nobleman.

That year the couple did not leave and they had their son there, later Lan Ruan discovered that this couple was part of one of the great families of the Celestial Sword sect, but they lived traveling the world. The couple already had three children, before the birth of Song Yan! Wow, it was practically a miracle that powerful cultivators had 1 child, but this heavenly couple had 4 children now!

But the difference in the age of the children was very large, almost 10 years for the birth of each child, sometimes more, which shows how difficult it is for powerful martial cultivators to breed!

The baby was so beautiful when his mother, he looked like he would be even more beautiful when he grew up, although the heavenly woman said that this child looked like his father and not her, which Lan Ruan could not believe, after all, her husband this beautiful woman had a very ordinary look and had no special features.

That year Zhong Liang started his way in cultivation, so the emotions that were strongly displayed by a child were fading little by little, but the handsome face had not suffered any facial paralysis. Then there were times when they could see the cute, innocent smile of this junior brother. However, Zhong Liang was not very good with outsiders, his appearance was always serious and indifferent, which made Song Yan's mother laugh, saying that the child was shy and cute, who could not express himself correctly.

Everyone said that over time he would improve his social skills, but of course that did not happen, on the contrary, it was getting worse each year, Zhong Liang spoke less and was indifferent much of the time, his master said it was for account of Dao's martial path of the emotionless sword, but also because Zhong Liang was wrongly cultivating.

Lan Ruan asked why the master did not take Zhong Liang to the right path of cultivation, but the master said he was powerless about it, as it was something only Zhong Liang himself could see the problem and solve, outsiders would not help with that.

When baby Song Yan turned two, the couple went back to travel and the baby was taken care of by Elder Han since the other children were already big and independent and could not look at their little brother, besides, the heavenly woman was not trusted her husband's family a lot. So baby Song Yan stayed in the Heavenly Sword sect, being spoiled by many powerful people, sometimes the older brothers came to visit their little brother and spent the week there, in short, their master's mountain got very excited!

Yes, the responsible was Elder Han, but his (Lan Ruan) master seduced Elder Han Yie Cough Cough I say persuaded Elder Han to stay on his mountain so he can help take care of the baby better!

Zhong Liang, who saw Song Yan as his little brother, loved the idea the most, when the 13-year-old was not growing, he was taking care of the baby, sometimes Lan Ruan saw him persuade the baby, when the little one didn't want to eat, It was such a cute scene that he recorded it on a special engraving stone!

All was well, once a month the couple came back to see baby Song Yan and talk to the other children, but then there was a time that the couple disappeared for a whole year! However, no one cared much about it, as the couple always traveled far, so people just thought that this time they had gone even further.

Baby Song Yan was 4 years old and as handsome as an angel, he was very cute and lovely, with the beauty of the mother and the magnetism of the father, it was very difficult not to like this lively child! Then the couple returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect on a stormy night, the next day baby Song Yan had been taken by their parents, who simply disappeared from the map.

Lan Ruan and Zhong Liang's master, along with the sect leader and Elder Han climbed the Song Family mountain, wondering where the couple was, only to find that the other three children had also disappeared. The couple left a letter for Elder Han and the others, but Lan Ruan does not know its contents, it was only clear that the couple found something incredibly dangerous and they needed to go away, they took the children because they were afraid that their enemies identify through the bloodline the location of their children, which would endanger all people.

Later Lan Ruan discovered by chance while wandering in the library books in the most secret and forbidden part, a section on the emergence of the Celestial Sword sect, in addition to the founding master, there were the families who supported this master in the ascent. There was some partial and important information written in one of the books, the Song Family did not have a specific blood lineage, but the soul lineage was quite powerful, all Song Family children could awaken the sacred energy of their soul lineage, to a greater or lesser degree, even so, it was a secret to break the sky and reverse the earth!

Therefore, the Song Family did not leave with the couple, as there was no way to reach them through the bloodline! The soul lineage was not so easily tracked, in fact, if one tried to track down, it would be much easier to kill who was trying to track down, after all, what is a group of people compared to a family of hundreds?

Unfortunately, a year later the news came that the couple and baby Song Yan had died in an unknown way, the oldest daughter disappears, but the two other children were found and brought back to the Song Family, being cared for by the younger brother Song Yan's father.

This news was very devastating for the 15-year-old Zhong Liang!

Everyone who knew the couple was shocked by the news, the only one who did not believe their death was Elder Han. However, everyone just looked sadly at Elder Han, for it seemed more than he just didn't want to accept the death of his best friend.

Zhong Liang was in shock for a long week, seven days, he was in a corner looking out of nowhere, in the second week he saw all the stones engraved with scenes from baby Song Yan and sometimes of the couple, in the first days he cried, At the end of the week there were no more tears. In the third week he destroyed all the engraving stones and went out of the sect to destroy a small mountain, it was the first time emotions had gained from his ice facade and indifference, it was also the first time he had suffered such a deviation from Qi severe.

He was in a coma for a few weeks, when his consciousness returned, Zhong Liang gained his permanent facial paralysis! He had sealed the sweet memories of his childhood and adolescence, falling headlong into the cultivation of the Emotionless Sword Dao, after the death of this couple and baby Song Yan, Zhong Liang's cultivation shot into the sky and he, who was already famous in the sect, became famous across the continent and even outside the realm of the Celestial Sword Sect. The demonic beasts feared him, the devils hated him, the mages on the neighboring continent envied him, and the cultivating humans admired him!

However, he, Lan Ruan, and his master became increasingly concerned about Zhong Liang, who increasingly ventured into reckless adventures that had too much risk and too little reward. It was as if his life was not important!

The only thing Lan Ruan was relieved about is that he made many copies of the engraved stones, so he still had the cute images of baby Song Yan and young Zhong Liang! When he was so overwhelmed by the sight of this junior brother's paralyzed face, he would secretly see his collection of engraved stones, watching the cute scenes of young Zhong Liang and the cute baby.

He needed to heal his heart!

"Now is not the time to think about the past. I need to be sure about the health of my junior brother, and I need to know if the master told him the truth about Song Yan, "Lan Ruan thought worriedly, approaching his indifferent junior brother, who seemed very focused on his reading.
