Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 20: Sadness and Reminiscence

What could Liu Feiyun say about his elder sister Liu Qianqian describing the trip to the capital as a journey of suffering? He could only nod in agreement.

Seeing that her brother didn't respond to her words, Liu Qianqian's voice turned cold and she said, "My little brother! Now that you have entered the sect, you must practice well! My sister's lifelong happiness is all entrusted to you."

Liu Feiyun said “Ah…” to express his confusion.

"Before I left, my mother told me that if I don't make a name for myself in business school and can't support the family, she would have to find me a suitable family to marry into and ask them to protect my Liu family in the future." Liu Qianqian said with a lonely look on her face.

Liu Feiyun said “Oh!” to show his understanding.

"Oh what? What do you know, little brat? If that happens, I will have to marry someone I don't like at all, someone I've never even met, and spend my whole life with him. It's scary to think about it! I will cry to death then. Little brother! Do you want to see me cry every day?"

Liu Feiyun shook his head like a rattle.

"Before your condition got better, my father, the butcher, forced me to wield swords and practice martial arts all day long. And my mother made me learn arithmetic whenever she caught me. Oh my God! How could a girl learn those fighting and killing things all day long? And those disgusting numbers give me a splitting headache. Little brother! I'm so tired!" As Liu Qianqian said this, she was about to cry.

Liu Feiyun nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"What do you know, you little brat? You're just nodding your head! Listen, you must practice hard in the sect and learn a lot of skills so that you can support this family in the future. By then, I won't have to live such a hard life."

Liu Feiyun sighed in his heart after hearing this: Over the years, his elder sister has not lived much happier than himself. When he was young, he was diagnosed with premature death. He saw many famous doctors, but they all said that he would not live more than one cycle, which is twelve years! After that, his mother gave birth to a younger sister, but she encountered a difficult labor, and since then, she has never been able to have children again. According to the laws of the empire, the titles and territories of the nobles can only be passed down to males, not females. If he does not live to adulthood or dies before getting married and having children, then the territory and titles of the Liu family will be taken back by the empire, which is an unacceptable outcome for the Liu family.

What is more important, the territory and title or the external things? If they are lost, they are lost, but what about Liu Shihao's children? Liu Feiyun has five siblings, but he is the only male. If Liu Shihao gets old in the future, what will happen to his children? After all, he has many enemies.

As the children grew up, Liu Shihao and his wife found that except for the eldest daughter Liu Qianqian who inherited her parents' perseverance and intelligence, the other two daughters were mediocre in both mental and emotional intelligence and martial arts aptitude, and could not bear the burden of supporting the Liu family. The youngest daughter was still young and could not see it. As for how long Liu Feiyun could live, they did not know, and they simply lived one more day, so they knew that their eldest daughter did not like martial arts and business but still forced him to learn these.

Seeing the tears about to roll out of her sister's eyes, Liu Feiyun stretched out his hand to wipe them away and said, "Don't cry, sister. Yun'er will definitely not let you down when she grows up. I will definitely learn the strongest skills in the sect so that I can support our Liu family in the future and let you marry whoever you want!"

After hearing this, Liu Qianqian burst into laughter. She covered her little hand with her hand, tapped his forehead with her finger and said with a smile: "You little brat, do you know what getting married is? You are so shameless! Don't worry! Although I don't know what kind of martial arts you practice, I can still see that that crappy martial arts is really torturous. If you can't stand it, give up. I'm here to support you. With my ability, Liu Qianqian, I will definitely learn a set of skills in the business school, and then find a husband of my choice to support this family and shelter you guys from wind and rain." After saying that, a slight blush appeared on Liu Qianqian's face. At this moment, if the young man saw it, he would definitely be intoxicated by it.

But at this time, Liu Feiyun had no intention of appreciating the beauty of the woman. He only felt bitter in his heart, thinking: How can a grown man like me let my own sister protect me from the wind and rain! These should be exchanged for doing! I wonder how my uncle-master has done the things entrusted by my father?

"What's wrong with me today? Why am I telling you all this? It seems that I was really pissed off by that damn Captain Xu today, and even my mind is a little confused. Saying these words to a little kid like you, who is only ten years old, is like playing the lute to a cow! Okay, okay! I won't torture your ears anymore! Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the Miyun Sect!" Liu Qianqian seemed to realize that she had talked too much today. After talking to herself for a while, she quickly fell asleep.

"Playing the lute to a cow!? Uh! Just talking!" Liu Feiyun was frowning.

Perhaps it was because of the tiring day's running around that Liu Qianqian was so sleepy that she started snoring soon after.

"It seems that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will snore!" Liu Feiyun listened to her sister-in-law's snoring, but she tossed and turned. She felt very tired, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind couldn't calm down for a long time:

Ten years! It has been ten years since I came into this world. Time flies by so fast!

I thought that I was just an ordinary migrant worker in the 21st century. I was so sleepy at noon that I took a nap on the construction site. But when I woke up, I found myself a child in this different world.

Traveled through time? Reborn? Or was he dreaming? He couldn't tell what was going on! But as time went by, he could only accept the reality helplessly. He really did travel through time. Fortunately, before traveling through time, he was just an orphan with no one to worry about. Traveling through time was just traveling through time. At least in this different world, he had parents and family, so it wasn't too bad.

Gradually, he realized that his parents in this life were obviously not ordinary people. In this strange world that seemed to be ancient China, not only were there groups of slaves and mansions in the house, but there were also warriors in armor scattered everywhere.

It turns out that I have traveled through time and space and become a second-generation rich, noble, or even a second-generation military officer! Could it be that I have become the protagonist of those time-travel online novels and will start a wonderful life?

But before he could be happy for long, he received some very bad news: his current body was born weak and sick, and he was diagnosed by more than a dozen famous doctors as a body that would die young, and he might not live to be 12 years old. When he traveled through time, he was already more than two years old, which meant that he only had less than ten years left to live.

The clear and bright sky suddenly became extremely gloomy. With only ten years of life left, and the ten years between the ages of two and twelve, what was the point of traveling through time like this!
