Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 293 Infinite Reincarnation (4/7)

This generation of Ghost Valley had no Master. The previous Master, however, possessed an Elixir that could add a hundred years to a person’s life. He had not consumed it himself. Instead, he gave it to Wu Fa, a seven-year-old child on the brink of death.

Wu Fa had never forgotten this kindness, and some of the Elders of Ghost Valley often spoke of it. For Wu Fa, Ghost Valley was an obligation he carried, a heavy brick in his right hand.

While Wang Cai was kind, the Wang family of Taiyuan was a different matter. This marriage was originally Wang Cai’s affair. Even if she permitted Murong Yezi and Wu Tian’s return, the Wang family of Taiyuan would not agree.

"If I were to die, would all these shackles finally leave me?" Wu Fa laughed loudly, even as blood streamed from his mouth, ears, and eye sockets.

In the end, his expression stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground.

"No!" Murong Yezi and Wang Cai cried out in grief.

Though both held grievances in their hearts, it was undeniable that they loved this man. They did not want him to leave this world so suddenly.

Wu Tian sighed and, with a wave of his hand, dispersed the Blood Mist.

Murong Yezi and Wang Cai wept. A trace of sorrow also appeared on Qin Yuhan’s face. The little one gritted her teeth, clearly unhappy. Did I just meet my grandfather, only for him to be gone already?

Xiao Tianzan and the others, having finished their business in the square, all came over. Seeing Wu Fa’s body, their expressions grew complicated. After all, Wu Fa was Wu Tian’s father.

Zhou Weimou swallowed hard, his face filled with disbelief. Is this... right? If it were him, he could not bear to watch his own father, Zhou Huguo, die before his very eyes.

Xiao Tianzan considered this for a moment, then sighed. "You are not a fish; how can you know a fish’s joy or sorrow? In other words, we are not Wu Tian. How could we possibly understand the life he’s led since childhood?"

Xiao Liang and Cui Chong nodded.

"I actually investigated Mr. Wu Tian’s past," Xiao Liang said. "In elementary school, his classmates often laughed at him. On several occasions, his teacher even denied him the Triple Excellence Student certificate because of his family’s situation."

The so-called Triple Excellence Student certificate from elementary school held little real merit. Some teachers handed them out based on personal preference, burying genuine talent. In some cases, even the scores on test papers were not necessarily accurate. At the time, the first, second, and third grades each had only a single class, operating at the "village" level.

"I have as well," Cui Chong sighed. "I also looked into Mr. Wu Tian’s history. When he started junior high, he finally began to show his true potential, leaving his foolish elementary school teachers in the dust. In his first year, he ranked sixth in his grade, while those who had previously overshadowed him achieved only mediocre results."

At the time, there were seven classes in his grade. With over forty students per class, Wu Tian ranking among the top meant he was a standout among nearly three hundred students. This just went to show that Wu Tian’s elementary school teachers were indeed foolish and had no eye for talent.

"His academic performance in junior high was excellent, but his life at school was not," Xiao Liang said, a hint of sorrow in his old eyes. "He was in Class Six. At that time, some students who relied on their connections and bragged about their backing in society began to bully others. They were the lowest dregs of society, yet they acted like kings in the classroom. Mr. Wu Tian was one of their victims, but his will was strong, and he endured it all—a feat beyond what most people are capable of."

Everyone could now imagine what Wu Tian’s early life must have been like. It was undoubtedly difficult. This was partly due to the social climate of the time, but it also had a great deal to do with Wu Fa.

...

Murong Yezi and Wang Cai were still weeping when something suddenly occurred to Murong Yezi. She looked at Wu Tian, her tone firm. "Save him."

Wu Tian’s expression was placid. He was already detached from Wu Fa, but he cared for his mother. Seeing her sorrow, he knew that if this continued, she might follow Wu Fa in death. That was something Wu Tian did not want to see.

How could he allow the mother who had toiled to raise him to beg? What kind of son would that make me?
