At the same time, the Fu Clan — entrusted with the care of Sheng Hanxu — discovered the boy was missing.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGaYZ1ec1T
Panic rippled through the estate. Disciples searched frantically, servants whispered, and the elders could only tremble when a messenger arrived at dawn:
“The Sheng Clan Head is coming.”
When Sheng Zhenwei arrived, the entire Fu household fell silent. Even the air seemed to freeze under his aura.
“Where is the boy?” Zhenwei demanded, voice sharp as a blade.
The Fu patriarch stammered, bowing until his forehead touched the ground.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ981eBkIhpk
“C-Clan Head… we— we don’t know. He vanished in the night. We searched every corner, but—”
A cold fury rippled from Zhenwei. “You lost my bloodline?”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULpsbR6w56
The ground cracked under his step. “Find him. Even if you must tear the land apart — find him.”
But days passed. There was no trace of the child.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xG3oDDTAX
At last, overcome by anger and guilt, Zhenwei returned to the Sheng Clan in silence.
Meanwhile, at Tianlong Sect
Far away, within the serene mountain peaks of Tianlong Sect, the boy who had vanished was safe.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauWnahEfjh
Xing Liuyue’s aunt, Tianlong Yuhan, and his uncle, Xing Lianchen, had begun training him — just as Liuyue had instructed before his departure.
The boy, now twelve, trained from dawn to dusk. He was spirited, reckless, and endlessly curious — traits that reminded everyone of the woman whose name he didn’t even know.
And beside him, always laughing, always pulling him into trouble, was Huo Yulian, the fiery young heir of the Huo Clan.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9CtqbAZx1
Together, they turned even the strict courtyards of Tianlong Sect into their playground.
Hanxu’s past was a shadow to him — one he didn’t question. The Fu Clan had only told him his mother had died when he was born. He didn’t know her name, nor why he had been sent away. The word “father” was nothing but a sound he had never used.
Until that day.
The Arrival of Xing Liuyue
On a quiet afternoon, the mountain breeze carried a strange tension.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkee3pzAg91
Hanxu and Yulian were sparring in the courtyard, wooden swords clashing under the fading sun, when the world seemed to pause.
A cold yet commanding aura swept through the sect gates — like winter wind cutting through still air. The disciples turned immediately.
From the sky descended Xing Liuyue, his robes trailing frost, his expression unreadable.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XgWuqtbxd
Even without a word, his presence silenced the courtyard.
Tianlong Yuhan approached, her tone warm but steady.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszX8RO9cCL
“You’ve returned, Liuyue.”
He bowed slightly. “Aunt.”
Her gaze softened. “He’s inside — the boy. We’ve done as you asked.”
Liuyue’s eyes flickered — faint emotion breaking through his calm. “Thank you.”
