I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-298

Therefore, when he saw the lord in luxurious clothes in front of him, Old Qian hesitated.

He knew that his grandson had always yearned for the outside world. After the doctor came to his house a few days ago, this child's heart became even wilder.

Huo Zhishang could clearly feel his heart beating faster and faster when he saw that Old Qian was not speaking for a long time.

"Sigh…"

Finally, Old Qian sighed and looked at Huo Zhishang.""Sir, may I ask where you came from?"

"Of course." Huo Zhishang nodded." I'm from Yunzhou County. Seven years ago, I lost my son because I was escaping from my enemies. Also…"

As Huo Zhishang spoke, he condensed a ball of greenish grey Celestial Chi in front of his chest."I am a cultivator."

Looking at the greenish-gray mystic qi, Old Qian nodded as if he had made a decision.""Little Dong, he... He's indeed not my biological grandson."

"Boom!"

Qian Dong and Huo Zhishang felt as if they had been struck by lightning in their heads.

Qian Xiaodong, who had already been " bombed " twice, felt a little dizzy. Too many things had happened in the past two days, and he couldn't accept it all at once.

"Grandpa! How could I not be your grandson! You are my grandpa!

After shouting, she threw herself into her grandfather's arms.

Hugging his grandson, Old Qian sighed and continued,""A few years ago, my son couldn't give birth to a child, and the whole family was very anxious. My wife almost jumped into the river. Later, there was really no other way, so my son contacted a tooth granny through the carpenter in the village. I bought Little Dong."

Huo Zhishang controlled his excited hands and continued to ask,""Did the old woman say where she got the child from?

"He didn't say. This is the rule. You can only buy it, not ask."

Qian Xiaodong was completely stunned by what he heard. He was actually bought by his father from the tooth granny…

Even so, Qian Dong still hugged his grandfather tightly and said,""No, you're my grandfather! No matter who comes, you're still my grandfather!"

Old Qian hugged Qian Xiaodong tightly and said with a smile,""Silly child, of course I will always be your grandfather."

Huo Zhishang looked at Qian Xiaodong and asked,""Your name is…Little Dong?"

Qian Xiaodong looked up at Huo Zhishang and shouted,""I'm not your son! My father's name is Qian Wangsheng!"

Huo Zhishang also knew that he couldn't make Qian Xiaodong accept this fact in a short time, so he wasn't in a hurry. He had waited for seven years. Was there still a little more time?

Therefore, he stopped asking Qian Xiaodong and started chatting with Old Qian.

After chatting for a long time, he found out that Old Qian's family did not live in this village. They had escaped from the drought in Boyuan a few years ago. Qian Xiaodong's parents had died on the way to escape.

Meanwhile, Huo Zhishang told them how his son had gone missing and all the stories he had told them about his search for his son over the past seven years.

During this period, Grandma also returned home. When she heard that someone had come to acknowledge her grandson, she quickly protected him and kept saying that Huo Zhishang must have made a mistake.

However, under Old Man Qian's repeated persuasion, Grandma also changed from scolding Old Man Qian for being old and muddle-headed to silently accepting this fact.

After listening to the story of Huo Zhishang's thousand-year-long search for children, Qian Xiaodong's resistance was no longer so strong. After all, he was a rational person. He knew that the man in front of him was also a victim. At the same time, he also saw that he really wanted to find him.

"Can I ask…How did you find this place?"

Huo Zhishang was so excited that his hands were shaking. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to talk to him.

"Hu…"

Huo Zhishang let out a long sigh and replied,""I went to the current Emperor, the new Emperor of the Sheng Kingdom, and asked him to help me find you."

"Do you know the new emperor?" Old Qian asked excitedly.

"I can't be considered to know him…We've met once before. He's willing to help me because of my friend."

"The new emperor is a great person now! If it wasn't for him, our village wouldn't have so many men to farm this year."

"Yes, yes." Grandma nodded repeatedly." Everyone hopes that the Emperor will never change."

After the atmosphere became lively, Huo Zhishang nodded and said,""The new emperor is indeed extremely wise, so I wanted to ask him for help. I didn't expect the results to be so fast."

After hearing Huo Zhishang's words, Qian Xiaodong immediately thought of the Taoist priest. He also understood why the Taoist priest suddenly came to their village. It seemed that it was because of the emperor.

"But…How can you be sure that I must be..."

As if he had expected Qian Xiaodong to ask this question, Huo Zhishang answered directly,""There's a way to prove it. You have a birthmark on your chest. It's on the left side of your chest."

On the roof, Jiang Beiran, who had been eating melon for the whole day, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart,""Good fellow! As expected of the main character, she even had a birthmark as proof."

The reason why he didn't follow Huo Zhishang to find Qian Xiaodong was because, according to his experience with the first two " main characters ", if he spent too much time with them, he would share their protagonist aura.

What Mystique Venerable One smashing his face, or cracking a big hole in the ground?

Anyway, it was as bizarre as it could be.

He had been with Qian Xiaodong for a day yesterday. If he had anything to do with him today, something strange would probably happen again.

That was why he decided to just watch and not get involved.

While Jiang Beiran was sighing in his heart, Qian Xiaodong, who was in the small house, shouted,""I don't have any birthmark on my chest."

Qian Xiaodong took off his shirt and revealed his chest. There was nothing on it.

"Yes... Usually, it won't appear. If it's like this..."

Huo Zhishang pressed his hand on Qian Xiaodong's chest as he spoke and poured a stream of Xuan Qi into his body.

In an instant, a palm-sized birthmark slowly appeared on Qian Xiaodong's left chest, like an eagle looking down.

'Good fellow…Damn it, this birthmark is encrypted?'

On the rooftop, Jiang Beiran had a good time eating the melon. He didn't expect to witness such a thing.

The second the birthmark was fully formed, Huo Zhishang could no longer control his emotions. He hugged Qian Xiaodong tightly in his arms."Kang Er! My Kang 'er!"

As he shouted, he started to cry loudly, as if he was trying to vent out all the oppression he had felt for the past seven years.

Qian Xiaodong struggled at first, but when he heard the man's crying, he didn't move because he could feel the longing from his crying.

When the birthmark on his chest that even he himself did not know about appeared, he knew that he was really the son of the person in front of him.

There was no mistaking it.

"Hu ~"

Hearing that the father and son had finally reunited, Jiang Beiran stopped listening and disappeared into the night.
