BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 - The Scum Is A Sacrifice
Wu Fan slowly opened his eyes and saw Wu Yuan, Ming Ye and Luo Shi standing beside his bed. "I – " he said and sat up. Wu Yuan helped him up. He turned and saw Wu Yuan is wearing the sect leader\'s robe. He smiled and hugged his son tight. "Thank you – " he told him and sighed in relief. " – son." He said.
Wu Yuan blinked, his eyes slowly widened as he looked at his father. "Mn." He answered and hugged his father back.
Ming Ye and Luo Shi watched the awkward exchange between the father and son pair. They can\'t help but smile. "Ming-xiong." Luo Shi called.
Ming Ye\'s smile disappeared and was replaced by worry. It was five days ago since he, Xie Lan, Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin came back from the Shanliangde Sect. Fei Yin and Xie Lan helped Ming Ye with Wu Fan and Chen Jing while Cheng Sheng rested after he consumed his energy making the array that will take them to the Youxiwang Sect. After that and the three of them left, going back to the Xinfaxian Sect using the Youxiwang Sect\'s array for Cheng Sheng to not consume his energy again. Ming Ye then told Luo Shi and Wu Yuan regarding Wu Fan and Chen Jing\'s condition, as well as the plot of the demonic sect, leaving the truth about Cheng Sheng\'s soul. Wu Yuan the called all the elders of the sect, and the Wu and Chen family. Wu Fan\'s condition needed to be done by himself, overcoming his heart demon. As to Chen Jing, he needed an external help. And for someone to risk their life for him. This –
"I volunteer." Chen Qing said. They all turned and saw her. Then, they understood. The criteria were set for Chen Qing. Only Chen Qing can save Chen Jing.
There\'s no more room for discussion. Chen Qing was willing to be sacrificed. Chen Han and the Chen family disagreed, however Chen Qing was determined. It was all for their patriarch. If Chen Jing will die, then the Chen Clan will fall. Even the Wu family, they also wouldn\'t want that. Thus, Chen Qing went to infiltrate Chen Jing\'s soul. This lasted for one whole day before Chen Jing woke up. Chen Jing woke up seeing Chen Qing in a bloody state. Chen Qing was full of injuries. Even if the doctors wanted to help hr, she refused. She only wanted to talk to Chen Jing using her life remaining. After that, she said goodbye to Chen Han and Chen Fu and Chen Mie. She also left a message to Cheng Sheng, since she also knew she wouldn\'t make it if Cheng Sheng will make a trip to see her. Then, she left this world. No regrets and filled with satisfaction. As to what she had said to Chen Jing, nobody knew. Except for Chen Jing. They wanted to ask Chen Jing, but afraid to reopen the wounds left to him by his late ex-wife. Their divorce, it was like it was planned by Chen Qing since a couple of days after their divorce and she died. She willingly died, sacrificing herself for the Chen family to continue to live gloriously. Chen Qing is a brave woman.
Now, Wu Fan just woke up after overcoming his heart demon. What would Wu Fan react to this news… "Where is Chen Qing?" Wu Fan asked after he saw the doctor is different. "And Chen… Jing. Where is he?" he asked as he looked at Ming Ye and Luo Shi.
The room immediately fell silent. It\'s here! They all thought and looked at each other. The doctor checking Wu Fan immediately fled, leaving Wu Yuan, Ming Ye and Luo Shi with Wu Fan. "Wu-xiong – " Ming Ye called.
"You need to rest more." Wu Yuan said. "We\'ll tell you after you are fully recovered." He said, his tone leaving no room for discussion.
Ming Ye and Luo Shi\'s expression darkened. Even if you said that, but that leaves many things unsaid! They thought. Luo Shi hated this attitude of his taciturn disciple. However, it is effective. Wu Fan may be confused, but he followed his son. This leaves Ming Ye and Luo Shi relieved. The three of them immediately left the room to talk. They didn\'t know that they just left and Wu Fan opened his eyes. He didn\'t follow the three. Instead, he snuck out of his room. He went to the Chen Mansion. He wanted to see Chen Jing. Wanted to confirm their feelings. However, his heart sank when he saw the Chen Clan is in mourning. He then found out, after secretly listening around, Chen Qing died for Chen Jing. Wu Fan was shaken. First, Chen Qing, his friend, has died. Then, her death is for Chen Jing. Wu Fan felt his world became bleak. How am I qualified for Chen Jing? He thought. His tears fell. He went back to the sect. After leaving a message to the sect and the Wu family, he left, his destination unknown. He went in seclusion.
The next morning and everyone saw Wu Fan\'s message. They unanimously turned to Chen Jing who brought a bouquet of flowers for Wu Fan, ready to woo him. Only to see that Wu Fan already left before he could arrive. Twice. This happened twice before. One is during their study in Shanliangde Sect. The second time after they went back to Xiwang. Chen Jing felt ridiculous. It was like the fate is against them. But, he remembered Chen Qing\'s words before she left. Chen Jing had decided. He will wait for Wu Fan to come back, no matter how long he has to wait for him.
He left the flowers and the letter in Wu Fan\'s room, then went back to the Chen Mansion. The others watched him, pity in their eyes and heart.
Five days and it is more than enough for the Shanliangde Sect to deal with the strange corpses. After that and everything seemed to calm down. Yes. The calm before the storm.
