Chapter 1635 - 611: The Great Live Person Transformation
As Su Mo’s words reached Yu Lingxin’s ears, a chill involuntarily crept into her heart.
She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Su Mo.
Su Mo simply frowned, looking at the two people inside the room.
Inside, Xing Ru Hai laughed and said:
"The Shadow Transformation Divine Skill is extraordinary.
"Transform the body into shadows, transform the qi into form.
"But if you can’t fix your bones, it’s hard to say that when you perform it, your bones won’t slip out from your flesh.
"So after every cultivation, I must set your bones.
"Haven’t I told you this long ago?
"Or do you not even trust your grandfather?
"The competition among the younger generation of the Xing Family is to see which of you can strive for the top.
"It’s a contest of martial arts, cunning, and strategy.
"Only by surpassing your peers can you take on the great responsibilities of the Xing Family.
"Remember, my child, when Heaven bestows a great task upon someone, it first makes them endure their muscles and bones, starve their physique, strain their minds, and exhaust their bodies.
"Although the Bone Setting Needle is painful, it can make your martial arts improve by leaps and bounds.
"In the future, when you rely on these skills to secure the position of Family Head, today’s pains will turn into tomorrow’s sweetness."
Listening to these words, Yu Lingxin raised her delicate eyebrows, thinking that this person’s claim is even more mysterious than Su Mo’s.
Su Mo said Xing Ru Hai was peeling his grandson’s skin.
Yet, Xing Zhan was obviously fine, with no signs of having been skinned.
It was indeed somewhat baffling.
But Xing Ru Hai’s words were even stranger...
What does it mean if the bones can’t be set, they’ll slip out from the flesh?
Can bones really leave home?
What on earth are the Xing Family old and young up to?
As this thought stirred in her heart, Xing Zhan had already stood up, bowed to thank grandfather for his teachings, and vowed to remember them.
Xing Ru Hai now, with a kindly look, gently smiled:
"All right, go on, you’ve worked hard enough, it’s rare. Go and rest well."
Xing Zhan agreed with a response and turned to leave.
Xing Ru Hai sat still, only quietly watching the direction of Xing Zhan’s departure, then slightly smiled:
"It’s about time...
"In three more days, the timing will be perfect."
At this moment, Yu Lingxin glanced at Su Mo, suddenly eyeing outside the courtyard.
She noticed that although Xing Zhan had left the yard, he hadn’t gone far, as if he had sensed something.
Using the terrain, Yu Lingxin then discovered that the Xing Family members around had silently completed a shift of guards.
Now, the entire area around Xing Ru Hai was left unguarded.
Seeing this, Yu Lingxin furrowed her brows slightly and set her gaze back on Su Mo.
Su Mo, however, ignored her, instead looking towards a corner of the courtyard.
There, two maids were carrying a tray slowly approaching.
Gently opening the door:
"Master, it’s time for tea."
Xing Ru Hai didn’t lift his head, only lightly replied with an ’um’.
As the two maids arrived, Xing Ru Hai then reached out, took the teacup, opened the lid, and gently sniffed, immediately smiling:
"Did you add An Shen flower?"
"Yes."
The maid softly replied:
"The master specifically instructed it. A few days ago, that group broke into the house, and your blade light was truly impressive.
"But the master still worries about your health.
"He heard that you’ve been resting poorly the last two nights, so he instructed us to add two petals of the An Shen flower to your tea."
"He is indeed thoughtful."
Xing Ru Hai nodded gently, blew on the tea water, and took a sip.
After savoring the taste, he perhaps found it satisfactory.
He finally drank it all, placing the cup back on the tray:
"You may leave."
"Yes."
The maid bowed and left, but just as she was about to exit the room, hurried footsteps were heard:
"Master, the family head is here."
"Let him in."
Xing Ru Hai’s voice showed some fatigue.
The sound of footsteps quickly reached the hall, and Xing Hao stepped inside:
"Father, your son has come to pay respects."
"What kind of respects are you paying at this hour of the night?"
Xing Ru Hai yawned and glanced at Xing Hao, who was kneeling in front, furrowing his brows:
"What is this about?"
"Father, Ming is missing."
Xing Hao spoke solemnly:
"I’ve searched all afternoon without finding any trace of the child. I’m utterly at a loss now."
"Stand up quickly, how does this look?"
Xing Ru Hai furrowed his white brows and gestured for the maids and servants to leave before speaking:
"You are now the head of the Xing Family, your every move represents our family image and sets an example for the younger disciples.
"Always crying and kneeling for help.
"Doesn’t this make others look down on us?
"As for Ming..."
At this point, he glanced at Xing Hao and lightly shook his head:
"Perhaps he’s off playing somewhere, after all, he’s just a child, don’t worry.
"He’s grown up enough; even if he doesn’t return overnight, it’s no big deal."
"But father... Ming has always followed the rules, he’d never act like this without reason."
Xing Hao gritted his teeth and said:
"Father... do you know where he might be?"
Hearing this, Xing Ru Hai’s face immediately turned cold.
He squinted at his son:
"What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting I hid your son away?"
"Your son wouldn’t dare."
Xing Hao quickly shook his head:
"But... but I know that today Ming wasn’t out for indulgence, he went to confront Xing Zhan.
"Yet after Xing Zhan returned, there was no sign of my son.
"Father, you even summoned Xing Zhan and spoke to him for an entire day..."
