Back For My Daughter



"Hehe, I already had lost hope in people, but there would always be some who would make me think otherwise."

On sitting on the bed, the lady giggled and shook her head hearing Ye Qian's words.

With what had happened to her after seeing her son die before her eyes, she had seen the whole world change and so she had already lost hope in believing someone now.

Of course, there were a few times which made her discard that thought, but most of the time, it didn't matter.

"Tell it, I think I will be able to digest it."

The woman said while looking into Ye Qian's eyes.

She didn't think that it would be any harder than seeing her own son being mutilated before her.

"Hmm."

Seeing the look in her eyes which was indicating that she was indeed ready to accept anything that he was going to throw at her, Ye Qian nodded and then continued.

"I don't know if you will be able to believe this or not, but this dagger has a spirit and it told me that the reason why the Headmaster that you are talking about didn't simply give this dagger to you for taking your revenge, but for the purpose of killing the Corpse General."

"And it also told me that if I had not intervened when you wanted to use the dagger to kill the monster, it was also possible that you might have lost your life as well."

"The reason is that the dagger needs a specific kind of energy that is very hard to come by and the only way to substitute that energy is by using one's life-force, if not then the Headmaster would never have been willing to use such a world defying weapon, you can think of it with just some simple sense."

The look on the woman's face didn't seem to have changed, but Ye Qian could see the disappointment and regret in her eyes.

"I don't really care about my life and I would have been happy to lay my own life if that were to help me kill the monster."

She said with a smile on her face.

Ye Qian could see that she was not mocking, but her words were from the very bottom of her heart.

And in one way or the other, he knew that it was true.

That was also the reason why she wanted to finish her life just a few hours ago knowing that she had gotten revenge for her son, which was also the first and only thought that came into her mind when she woke up.

And from the looks of it, she didn't look as if she was hurt to be taken advantage of for her love for her son whom she wanted to have revenge.

"And I can also think that they wanted to do so to get rid of the monster so that they could go deeper into the mountains and look for their herbs even better."

A mocking smile appeared on her lips as she continued.

"To tell you the truth, I had also thought of this before when that old man said that he was willing to help me take revenge for my son."

She then shook her head and breathed.

"I am a mother, or at least I was..."

"..."

Ye Qian couldn't think of what to say at this point and decided to only let her continue.

"I can tell who really feels sad for me and my son and the ones who just want to make use of my sadness and anger."

"For someone to give something that had been guarded for so long to someone who was nothing but a complete stranger was anything but suspicious and even knowing that it was strange, I still chose that and you know why I did so."

She then looked at Ye Qian.

He could see the pain, guilt, regret, remorse and every single emotion that she had been holding deep within her heart these two years.

"I am sorry..."

That were the only few words that he could think of and say to her knowing that besides them there was also nothing that he could come up with.

He was not good with words and at times like this even bad.

"It's not your fault, you only proved to me that the possibility that I was thinking was not just a possibility and even the people who might act benevolent and helping would have other motives in the face of wanting to help you."

She shook her head and looked out the window.

"I think you should go now, there should be a few people waiting for you, I have no one really waiting for me."

Ye Qian could only shake his head and sigh in his heart and nod at her before he glanced at the dagger that was in his hand as it started to disappear right from his hands into nothing but thin air.

"Hmm."

Although this was nothing new to him, Bo who was standing right beside him hearing him all this long carefully, couldn't help but have his eyes widened.

'Young master never forgets to surprise us!'

That was the only thought that came into his mind as a wry smile appeared on his face not knowing what to say.

"I will take my leave now, if you need help or any support, you can always talk to them first and they will contact me."

Standing up, Ye Qian said while Bo nodded to his words.

It was indeed right, the problems related to money were something that could be easily taken care of by their team, one had to know that they were a group of guards that were under direct orders from the Old man Yuan, and so even if he was not there anymore, no one could really question if they were in need of some money or wanted to have some.

In fact, more than 2 million Yuan were given to them each year for their salary while another 3 million were allotted for other expenses.

And the bills and others were not even counted in them.
