Chapter 2 – A Wish
When Qin Shi woken up from the daze, he was already being pulled by Liu Yan Bing to the front of a luxurious restaurant.
The name of this luxurious restaurant was known as Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant and was Desolate Town’s biggest restaurant.
Gazing towards the doorplate ‘Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant’, Qin Shi stared blankly on his current spot. This restaurant was once a place where he would come to visit often to kill his free time when he was still Qin Family’s Young Master. But right now, he could only gaze towards the restaurant while standing outside.
“Stone Brother, let’s go inside.”
Liu Yan Bing ignored the dazed Qin Shi and pulled him inside of the restaurant. After finding a table at a corner, she sat and shouted: “Waiter, bring all of your Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant most luxurious feast. I want everything.”
“Most luxurious feast?”
The shocked Qin Shi wanted to open his mouth to stop Liu Yan Bing but after thinking for a while, he thought to himself: “Bing Er is currently still in Qin Family. This kind of small expense to her should be insignificant. Also, its nice to let out some resentment. After getting kicked out of Qin Family, the people of this Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant face directly at me before.”
Thinking till here, he removed the thought of intending to stop Liu Yan Bing.
“Oh my! I thought who it was, so it turns out it is Qin Family’s Young Master.”
The restaurant’s waiter just walked up and was already talking in a tone of ridicule towards Qin Shi.
“I say, Qin Shi, did you make a mistake? With this kind of poor and sour appearance, do you think you are even fit to be eating the most luxurious feast here?”
“We asked you to bring the feast, so just bring the feast. Why spout so much nonsense.”
The displeased Qin Shi pointed at Liu Yan Bing and said: “You didn’t see my sister is right here? Still doubt we are not going to be able to pay up the money for a feast?”
Upon seeing Liu Yan Bing, the waiter obviously restrained himself and his tone also became more polite.
“So it was Lady Bing Er. That’s good, that’s good, I will order someone to bring up the dishes right away.”
“Stop speaking so much rubbish, quickly scram!”
Qin Shi bossily slapped down on his table and had a fierce expression on his face but inside he was delighted.
“Humph humph, that really vented out my anger. Never thought it would? There will come a day when i will raise back from this sorry state and gain back the respect i deserve!” Qin Shi thought in his heart.
Getting scolded by Qin Shi, the waiter angrily clench his teeth but due to the presence of Liu Yan Bing, he also did not dare to retaliate. Turning his body, he walked towards the kitchen.
Approximately after 30 minutes pa.s.sed.
Plates of dishes which smelled and looked wonderful was brought on to the table by the waiter. After placing all the dishes on the table, the waiter looked at Liu Yang Bing and said with a smile: “Lady Bing Er, all your dishes are here already. Say, shouldn’t we settle the bill already?”
Hearing the waiter’s words, Qin Shi wrinkled his eyebrows. The actions of waiter directly ignoring him and asking Liu Yan Bing to pay the bill, made him feel very uncomfortable. That feeling felt like the waiter saying: “Qin Shi, don’t need to think, I can also be certain that you are not able to afford this feast. You are just someone who live off a woman.”
“What? Still worried that I will actually run off after eating?” Liu Yan Bing snorted.
Shortly, Liu Yan Bing took off a golden hairpin from her head and said: “This golden hairpin’s entire body is embed with gold. To pay for your feast, it should be more than enough right?”
Seeing the golden hairpin, the waiter’s eyes shined brightly and quickly nodded his head and said: “Enough, enough, of course enough. Don’t tell me that Lady Bing Er you want to use this golden hairpin to settle the bill for this feast?”
“Bing Er, are you crazy?”
Upon seeing the golden hairpin, Qin Shi hurriedly s.n.a.t.c.hed the golden hairpin away.
“This golden hairpin was given by my mother to you. How can you use this to settle the bill? Did you not bring any money?
Hearing Qin Shi’s words, Liu Yan Bing trembled and bit on her lips with her upper teeth, tears flowing out from her eyes.
“Money? From where will we get money? Ever since Stone Brother stole away the Demonic Suppressing Jade and allowed the Evil Spirit to be revived, the back mountain got enveloped by Demonic Qi and has gotten filled with Death Qi. Because of this, Grandpa Qin in a rage expelled G.o.dfather and G.o.dmother out of the family.”
“Wh…what?”
Upon hearing this, only after a while did the shocked Qin Shi regain back his conscious and berated at her: “Then why did you still bring me here? Why did you still order the most luxurious feast?”
“I…I only wanted to let Stone Brother eat the best.” Getting berated by Qin Shi, Liu Yan Bing was scared and began shivering, and feeling wronged to the extreme. “Stone Brother, it’s time to wake up… Stop falling further downwards already.”
The few sentences fell heavily into Qin Shi’s ears, making him not able to help but feel absent-minded. His gaze staring blankly towards the front.
Seeing this, the waiter quickly grabbed the golden pin away from Qin Shi and retreat backwards.
Not paying attention to the waiter, after a few moments Qin Shi let out a sigh and asked what he was most concerned about: “Bing Er, my father and mother both got expelled out of the family? Where are they now?
“G.o.dfather and G.o.dmother are currently at Broken Rock Street.”
“Broken Rock Street?” Upon hearing this, Qin Shi was shocked.
Broken Rock Street was the most down and out street in Desolate Town.
“En, that’s right. Right now, they have already become handicapped and can only conceal one’s ident.i.ty to live. I…” After saying it to this point, Liu Yan Bing was already on the verge of crying again.
“What? My father and mother became handicapped?”
Qin Shi suddenly stood up. He still clearly remember that his father was a genius within Qin Family that could only be counted with one hand.
“My father is in Ninth Layer of Spirit Tempering Realm. What kind of person can harm him?”
“G.o.dfather did it himself…”
“My father broke his spirit vessel on his own? Why would he do this?” Qin Shi was more puzzled and questioned Liu Yan Bing.
Liu Yan Bing hesitated for a while before answering: “It was all because of her!”
“Her?”
Qin Shi’s mind suddenly flashed a figure and gripped his hand into a fist tightly and said: “Don’t tell me it’s her? Yu Lin Er?”
“That’s right. It was her. One year ago after she took the Demonic Suppressing Jade, she attempted to control the Evil Spirit. But because she was not able to use the jade, she thus came to find G.o.dfather and hoped G.o.dfather will tell her to how to use the Demonic Suppressing Jade…” At this point, Liu Yan Bing obviously got angry: “G.o.dfather of course would not tell her but who would have thought she was so vicious and merciless to actually find someone from Burning Sky Sect.”
“Burning Sky Sect!”
Hearing this, Qin Shi gripped his fist tighter. He gripped so tight that, it caused his slightly sharp fingernails to stab into his palm, bringing a painful feeling.
In Red Flame Empire, Burning Sky Sect is located at the middle of the north region and is also the biggest sect in the region.
Red Flame Empire is split into 5 regions. North, South, East, East and Center. The Imperial Capital at the Center is the strongest. Second strongest is the East region, followed by the West region, South region and the North region being the weakest.
Towards Burning Sky Sect, Qin Shi has an unspeakable hatred towards it.
One year ago, when he stole the Qin Family’s Demonic Suppressing Jade and gave it to Yu Lin Er, who would have thought that Yu Lin Er would be intimately involved with another man and that man was a Burning Sky Sect’s disciple.
His spirit vessel getting destroyed was also due to that disciple.
“Burning Sky Sect captured away G.o.dmother and used G.o.dmother to threaten G.o.dfather. They demand G.o.dfather to break his spirit vessel, if not they would kill G.o.dmother.” Liu Yan Bing sobbed.
“Bang!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi heavily slammed onto the table. He was so angry that his whole body was currently trembling.
“Good, good, good. Well done Yu Lin Er, She doesn’t even show a little bit of old affection? And Burning Sky Sect, my parents are already like this and they still actually dare to be so overbearing….”
“Stone Brother…”
“Bing Er, did you know? I originally thought that i should use the rest of my life to atone for my crime towards Qin Family but they actually forcefully pushed my crimes on my parents…” Qin Shi cut off Liu Yan Bing’s words and at the corner of his mouth appeared a trace of fierceness.
“Well done Qin Family! Well done Yu Lin Er and Burning Sky Sect!”
“I now finally understand, I cannot continue on like this. I must stand up, I must become stronger. Only like this then I can ma.s.sacre, ma.s.sacre all those who bully me, ma.s.sacre all those who bully my parents…” Qin Shi’s temperament soared, giving people an indescribable pressure.
Liu Yan Bing was shocked. The absent-minded her felt as if she was looking at the former Qin Family’s Young Master.
“Bing Er, I want to…see my parents.” After a while, Qin Shi calmed himself down and hesitated for a while before speaking. He wasnt sure if his parents would be willing to meet him, will they be willing to forgive this unfilial son.
Liu Yan Bing stared blankly and shortly stopped crying and smiled. Happily nodding her head.
“Stone Brother, we are all waiting for you. Waiting for you to go back home!”
…
After walking out of Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant, Qin Shi and Liu Yan Bing came to Broken Rock Street and walked to the front of a down and out residence.
This residence was extremely worn-out. The black wooden door was was barely standing. On the walls were also some distinct holes, looking at it would make a person feel abnormally wretched.
“Stone Brother, we are here…”
Liu Yan Bing bit on her lips, her eyes becoming moist.
“Pu Tong!”
Qin Shi stared blankly, gazing at the worn-out residence. Withdrawing back his usual unruly and stubborn behavior, he kneeled down on the floor. This kneel was filled with remorse and reproach. He never thought that because of him, his parents would suffer this badly and fall into this such a state.
“Father, Mother, Qin Shi is unfilial…”
The sky above desolate town suddenly get covered with clouds and mist. Rain drops drizzled down, soaking up the clothes of the two.
“The sky is laughing at me I presume!”
Qin Shi raised his head to the sky and ridiculed. No one was aware that, within his eyes, a drop of tear was wiped away by the rain.
“Yu Lin Er. You caused my family to fall into this state. If the heaven have eyes and let me recover my broken spirit vessel, I will surely kill you with my own hands….”
“Crick!”
At this moment, the residence door was suddenly pushed open. A weak and haggard woman slowly walked out from the residence. She was Qin Shi’s mother, Qiong Shu Yao.
“Bing Er, cough cough, you came…”
Just as she walked out of the door and was about to speak, she suddenly instead stared blankly on the spot.
“Mother…”
Qin Shi bit open his lower lip, gazing at the thin and haggard woman, his heart felt as if it was stabbed with a thousand needles.
It has not even been a year, he could already sense that his own mother had aged a lot. The previously jet-black and beautiful hair right now contained bits of whiteness on it.
“Shi Er?”
Qiong Shu Yao gazed at her son who she have not seen for a year. Gazing at his sorry figure, her maternal love bloomed out. Regarding the matter which occurred past year, not a word was spoken about it, but instead she rushed and hugged Qin Shi in her embrace. Crying and with concern said: “Shi Er, Shi Er, you finally came back. How did you make yourself look like this…wu wu wu…”
“Mother, you don’t blame me…?”
Qin Shi got hugged but he did not dare to look straight at his mother.
“Foolish child, no matter how many mistakes you have done, you are still this mother’s flesh and blood.” Qiong Shu Yao not only did not chastise Qin Shi but instead express a feeling of heart pain for Qin Shi.
“I really should die, I really don’t have the face to meet you all anymore.”
Upon hearing what his mother said, Qin Shi was immediately choked with emotions. He did not know how to express his own emotions. He was unwilling to raise his body. The more Qiong Shu Yao acted like this, the more his feeling of blaming himself grew in his heart.
“Mother…Shi Er is unfilial. You should scold me, beat me, I…”
Qin Shi had never demand for forgiveness. He would prefer Qiong Shu Yao to ruthlessly scold him instead.
“Humph, beat you?”
“What is the use of beating you? Can beating you stop the Evil Spirit? Can beating you revive the people who have died within the Qin Family?” At this moment, an imposing voice sounded out. From the residence walked out a middle age man. The man with his back bend while holding onto a crutch, looking very desolate.
“Father…”
Qin Shi gaze towards the man and dazed. “This elderly man really is my father? The former Qin Family genius, Peak of Ninth Layer of Spirit Tempering Realm, Qin Tian Qing…how did he fall into this kind of state?”
For a moment, Qin Shi gripped his fist tightly. The hatred within Qin Shi’s heart became stronger.
“Stand up!”
A soft roar. The crutch on Qin Tian Qing’s hand ferociously smashed onto the ground. Face full of grim and anger: “My Qin Family do not need cowards. If you are still my son then stand up. From where u fell down, Stand back up!”
Qin Shi trembled. His heart felt as if it was pressed down by a huge rock.
“From where I fell down, climb up from there huh?”
Qin Shi with great effort balanced his own state of mind and quickly stood up. He looked at his father with a shining eyes and said: “Father, I will do it. I will one day bring you and mother back to Qin Family and seize back everything that belongs to us.”
This sentence was filled with resounding strength and determination.
“To go back to Qin Family for now let’s not talk about it. If you still recognize me as your father then help me settle my wish. Or more precisely, to settle your own crime.” Qin Tian Qing opened his mouth. His words filled with an imposing aura.
Qin Shi did not hesitate at all and nodded his head.
“Father, what is it you want me to do. No matter what you want me to do, your son, I will not hesitate at all.”
“Good, right now the Evil Spirit has been revived. Heaven and Earth is facing a catastrophe, this is what you have caused with your own hands.” Qin Tian Qing said, bringing the topic to the Evil Spirit.
“I want you to repent for your crimes, go and stop the evil spirit.”
