Chapter 988 - 988: Father and Son Reunion (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was said that the second son of the Wei family hid it well, but so did the fourth son of the Su family.
They were a pair of dragon and phoenix chicks.
When they heard that the Saintess had been injured by Wei Xu and had lost a trusted envoy and many puppet experts, they felt extremely happy.
Everyone listened attentively and suddenly realized that something was wrong. It was always Su Li who spoke. Wei Xu remained silent from the beginning to the end.
Li Wan was the first to look at her father-in-law.
As her father-in-law looked at the Wei brothers sitting beside him without blinking, his eyes were filled with sadness and complexity.
Li Wan tugged at Wei Qings sleeve, indicating for him to look at his father.
On the way back, Su Li had already told him about the Wei brothers.
He was pleasantly surprised to know that his eldest, second, and sixth sons were all alive. When he found out that his third, fourth, and fifth brothers would forever stay on the battlefield, he felt no different from having lost another son.
Wei Qing followed Wei Xus gaze and looked at his leg. He smiled and said,
Dad, Im fine now. I can stand up in a few days.
Recently, he felt that his legs had been recovering gradually. He was already trying to rehabilitate.
It was just that he had been in the wheelchair for too long and had lost the strength in her legs. She had to train them back bit by bit.
Wei Xus large palm landed on his skinny legs, and his eyes turned red.
Then, he looked at Wei Liulang.
Wei Liulang clenched his golden fists in high spirits. I like this arm very much. Its very useful and can even be used as a weapon.
Wei Xu slowly took off his sons mask.
Wei Liulang had used the medicine that Su Xiaoxiao had given him. The scars on his face had faded a lot and were no longer sinister and terrifying, but there were still faint marks. It was not difficult to imagine the pain when his appearance was destroyed.
Wei Xu asked with a swollen throat, How did this happen?
Wei Liulang whispered, I dont remember. I woke up like this.
Actually, he had already accepted it in his heart and did not think much of it when he mentioned it to his family.
However, after being asked by his father, he suddenly felt aggrieved.
He lowered his head and felt a lump in his throat. He choked and said, Dad it hurts
He turned out that as long as his father was around, he could be a child again.
He could feel wronged, cry out in pain, and not put on a brave front.
Li Wan carried Wei Xiyue over from Wei Xus lap.
Wei Xu held his sons face with both hands and pressed his forehead against his.
The G.o.d of War closed his eyes and a hot tear fell.
Although they had been separated for five years and Wei Xu had been found for a number of days, it was only when he recovered his memories that they would truly acknowledge each other as father and son.
They had many things to say to one another.
Wei Xiyue was a child, and Su Xiaoxiao was a pregnant woman. The two of them were the first to fall asleep.
Li Wan and Wei Ting each brought the two of them back to their rooms.
Compared to what he had experienced in the past five years, Wei Xu wanted to know what had happened to his sons.
They talked until midnight.
At night, there were many mosquitoes. The few of them moved from the courtyard to the house.
Su Li fell asleep on the table.
The three brothers lay on the bed and swayed, looking very much like when they were young.
It was as if they were still hobbling yesterday. In the blink of an eye, they had all grown into men and were independent.
Wei Xu sat on the stool and looked at the three of them for a long time, unable to get enough.
After a long night, he was actually tired.
But he couldnt sleep yet.
He had to see someone.
The capital at midnight was silent.
In Elder Lous residence, Princess Hui An and Mei Ji were sleeping soundly.
Mei Ji originally wanted to meet Sir before returning to the Cheng family, but Princess Hui An was alone, so she could only stay and protect her.
Su Xuan did not wake the two of them up and sat quietly in the courtyard alone.
On the stone table was an incense burner left behind by Elder Lou. Inside was a spice unique to the Southern Wilderness that specialized in driving away mosquitoes.
He sat there for the entire night.
Suddenly, a tall figure swept past the wall and landed behind Su Xuan. Su Xuans expression remained unchanged as he continued to take a sip of tea.
Were you waiting for me? Wei Xu asked.
He was trying to get used to talking. He spoke very slowly. You knew I was coming over?
Su Xuan stood up and looked at him steadily. Should I call you General Wei Xu or something else?
The puppets of the Holy Maiden Temple would all have their own new names.
Wei Xu is fine, Wei Xu said.
Neither of them sat down.
Wei Xu looked at him and said, Your martial arts attainment is not bad. Among my sons, only the eldest can fight you to a draw. Little Seven is the most talented, but he has practiced too little.
Wei Ting was well-versed in both civil and military matters, but in a military family, it was too rare to have a prodigy son.
Therefore, Wei Ting did not spend much effort on martial arts. Instead, he read and learned a lot.
How did you learn your martial arts?
Wei Xu could tell that Rakshasa had paid an unimaginable price for his martial arts. Perhaps he had already paid that price, or perhaps he had yet to fulfill it.
Su Xuan was unwilling to talk about this topic. General Wei Xu, you dont have to worry about that. Ill handle my own matters.
Wei Xu asked again, Do you still want to kill me?
Using the word still meant that he remembered his previous experience of being a.s.sa.s.sinated.
Su Xuan did not deny it and replied frankly, If General Wei Xu can stay lucid, I naturally wont attack. However, if General Wei Xu still becomes the Saintess puppet in the end, I can only kill you. Wei Xu said, You cant kill me.
Su Xuan said seriously, I have to kill you even if I cant.
There was no disappointment or surprise in Wei Xus eyes. Alright, I hope you remember what you said tonight. Once I completely lose control, you must kill me personally.
Su Xuan frowned and looked at him in shock.
Wei Xu waved at him. Come here. Ill tell you my weakness..
