Time Travel and Love

Seeing him lose so much weight in just a dozen days, Chu Qingmeng felt a little sorry for him. After all, love hurts, and the world's twists and turns never stop. "Go and rest. You've been through these past ten days, and it must be exhausting."

Kui Wenzhong closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened his eyes and turned back to signal the young man to come forward, "Master, this is my son, Junchuan. Chuan'er, greets the master."

Kui Junchuan was bewildered for a moment. His father had never said that his master was a woman. She even looked younger than him. However, he still followed his father's instructions and knelt down to pay his respects. "Junchuan greets the master."

"No, there's no need to be so polite to me." Chu Qingmeng reached out to stop him, but Wen Zhong grabbed her arm, shook his head, and then spoke, "Master, I would like to ask for your grace to keep him with you in the future. Master, don't worry, his martial arts skills are no worse than Wu Qing's."

"It's okay. Just take care of this little thing." Chu Qingmeng felt uncomfortable with Wen Zhong's attitude today. He had never seen him so humble since he met him. He frowned slightly and looked at Shuang Cheng. Shuang Cheng just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. Perhaps his elder brother still hadn't recovered.

Wen Zhong shook his head again, "Master, please excuse me for a moment."

Chu Qingmeng followed him to the corridor, and Wen Zhong finally spoke, "Master, I want him to be your death warrior."

Chu Qingmeng looked at Kui Wenzhong in shock, "Are you crazy?! He is your only son!"

"Master, he will succeed me as the clan leader in the future, and I will train him to be the head of the building. Since he is my son, and our clan swears allegiance to you, Master Jiu, until death, he must do this for me."

Chu Qingmeng sensed something was wrong and was terrified. "What do you want to do?! Hey! Wenzhong, wake up! I'm warning you, your life now belongs to me, not yours! You have no right to decide your own life or death!"

Seeing Chu Qingmeng's expression of having seen a ghost, Kui Wenzhong laughed. It was the first time he had truly laughed in the past ten days. "Master, you worry too much. What I mean is that you are young after all. I am your age and can be loyal to you until old age."

"..." Chu Qingmeng let out a long sigh, "You're going to scare me to death while I'm talking?"

"You're overthinking it, sir." Kui Wenzhong looked at Chu Qingmeng, who looked like he was about to die of fear, and chuckled softly, with a hint of sadness in his laughter. "I'm not worthy of the word 'die for love'. His mother doesn't want to see me."

"She wants you to live well. Otherwise, why would she send such a well-educated child to you?" Chu Qingmeng patted his shoulder. "As for being a death warrior, there's no need for that."

"Master, when employing people, you must always avoid future troubles."

Chu Qingmeng was stunned again. Shuang Cheng had said this to her, but Qin An, Qin Feng and the others were their subordinates, and Jun Chuan was Wen Zhong's only son. "Wen Zhong, blind loyalty is not acceptable."

"What we are waiting for is the sword in my hand. Only blind loyalty can make a sword that will never kill its master. Once the blade becomes powerful, it will have ambitions, and with ambitions, there will be a day when it will kill its master. Therefore, I want you to eliminate this trouble forever."

This was the first time Chu Qingmeng had grasped the importance the ancients placed on the word "grace," and also the first time she understood their understanding of "loyalty." They would rather sacrifice their lives and children than betray their gratitude. Chu Qingmeng felt unworthy of their loyalty, stunned and speechless. She instinctively took a step back, reaching back to grab the backrest of the bench under the long corridor, but her hand found nothing. Shuang Cheng swooped in to support Chu Qingmeng, then frowned at Wen Zhong. "Brother, you've said too much!"

Wen Zhong sighed as he watched Chu Qingmeng, who was so shocked she couldn't stand still. He had been so anxious about teaching his son these past few days that he hadn't controlled himself and had spoken harshly. He reached out and helped Chu Qingmeng sit on the bench. "Master, I was too aggressive."

Chu Qingmeng waved his hands, trying to calm himself down. "It's okay. I just... just... didn't react quickly enough. It's okay."

Kui Wenzhong sighed, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Chu Qingmeng, "Master, he has already taken the medicine. This is the mother Gu, please keep it."

"..." Chu Qingmeng looked at Kui Wenzhong for a long time and sighed, "Why are you doing this?"

Kui Wenzhong said nothing more. The Kui family was determined to repay their debt, even until the day their clan was exterminated. He had already asked Junchuan about this, and Junchuan understood his intentions and knew how to repay a favor, so he naturally agreed.

"You should go and have a rest. After all, you've been busy for more than ten days and have lost a lot of weight. Refresh yourself before dealing with things." Chu Qingmeng still wanted him to take a break before working.

Kui Wenzhong still shook his head. He needed to keep working to fill himself up so that he wouldn't overthink. "I have nothing to do. If you don't tell me to, I'll take my son back first."

"Well. Go ahead." Seeing that he insisted, Chu Qingmeng didn't continue to persuade him. After all, he had his own ideas.

Chu Qingmeng returned to the pavilion, and the two of them bowed and took their leave, this time still walking out.

"Mother, it is a big taboo to not discipline your subordinates." Although Mo Jiangli felt that he should not say this, he still spoke. The man's martial arts skills were very high. If he killed his master one day, there would be no one around his mother who could deal with him.

"It's okay, I know my limits." Chu Qingmeng just smiled at his reminder and didn't continue the topic. "Can Jiang Li ride and shoot?"
