A martial king, his face was grey and pale, his eyes listless . He looked like he could stop breathing any minute .
That night had impacted him profoundly .
So profound that even this cold-blooded person couldn’t handle . Everything was fake . It was all but a mistake of his .
“Housemaster…”
The horses walking side by side, they were the once Third and Fifth Elders and the only elders left of the Cheng’s . They were all worried that their housemaster wouldn’t be able to go on .
“……” Looking over at slightly . Cheng Yutang’s eyes moved and he questioned them silently .
Third Elder looked at him and asked in a deep voice, “Housemaster, have you decided where we are heading yet? This is a big world . Are you sure we want to resort to hiding out in the mountains?”
“Why can’t we?!” Cheng Yutang’s voice was horribly hoarse, as though his throat was shattered . His voice grating to the ears .
“Housemaster, even if we hide out in the mountains . What about the others? Are we going to turn everyone into hunters?” asked Third Elder bitterly .
Fifth Elder glanced over at the two of them and said, “We have nothing left . It will be difficult for us to settle down no matter where we go, unless…”
Hearing his voice, the other two looked over at him . Fifth Elder carried on bitterly, “It might be easier if we go to Qing’an Province . At the very minimum, we won’t be walked all over . ”
“Impossible…” There was no emotions in Cheng Yutang’s voice .
“Housemaster…”
“If we don’t go and stay in Qing’an Province, I am afraid the dozens of people here will no longer be around in less than six months,” said Fifth Elder solemnly .
“Housemaster, your duty is to ensure that the Cheng’s will carry on . That is the first and foremost . I urge you to give this proposition serious consideration . ”
“……” Cheng Yutang wasn’t moved by his words at all, as though he didn’t care about the lives of those in his group .
The two elders exchanged a look and were able to see the resignation in each other’s eyes .
Finally, Fifth Elder thought about it for a bit and finally said, “Housemaster, you should know that Madam Housemaster is still alive . If we are right about it, she was saved and taken away by Cheng Biyuan and his daughter . Do you not want to go look for her, Housemaster?”
Cheng Yutang, looking downward, seemed to finally has a change in his emotions, but he still didn’t say a word .
They’ve already brought out the trump card and it the person in front of them still wasn’t moved .
All they could do other than sighing was to smile bitterly .
Both of them were up there in age and their residence in Capital City had been destroyed . And even if it wasn’t destroyed, they still couldn’t bear to stay there anymore . After all, with the scale of what had happened at the Cheng’s, how could they face those in town anymore?
And if they have to leave Capital City, they needed a new place to stay . So, the question was, where could they settle down in for some resemblance of a peaceful life? They had been talking about it for a long time and had yet to figure something out .
Not that they couldn’t think of any places, but more they knew what kind of troubles they would face in the future .
Everybody had heard about what had happened to the Cheng’s . As much, they would probably receive very little help no matter where they went . Contrarily, many would try to take the opportunity to take advantage of them . Their days would be difficult no matter where they went .
Not to mentioned that they only have several hundreds of taels remaining between all of them . How’d that be enough to for them to settle down at a new place? Several hundred of taels wasn’t even enough for them to get a place to live in . Not to mentioned that they wouldn’t last much longer with their expenditure on room and board recently .
And then what?
