Annette then also echoed “Praise my dear god Enseith, for his great mercy and grace.” as she, and the man hidden in the shadows, bowed for a brief moment, before righting themselves back up. Lain, on the other hand, not being a worshiper of Ensieth could only quietly contemplate the contents of Hui Shi’s story, on the side, while waiting for him to continue.
The group then continued walking unknowingly towards the man in front of them, as Hui Shi continued his speech, “Years back, the old man gave birth to a gifted child. After realizing the potential of the child, him, his wife and his two older children went through hell working to help that poor son of his get into a mighty sect in the area. After 5 years of hard, gruesome work, his son was finally accepted into the sect, using the money the entire family raised to bribe the officials of the sect to let his youngest son in.”
Pausing to take a deep breath, as the weird feeling of being watched by something slightly irritated him, Hui Shi continued, “The son was then raised by the sect, and came home once a year for a visit. One of the years that he came for a visit home, the old man, being too drunk after a night of celebration, blabbered on about a secret treasure that his father hid somewhere, back in the days when he was a grave robber. Due to the treasure being unique, and easily identifiable by the powerful noble family that it belonged to, his father warned that it would lead their family to its downfall, if anyone were to ever find out that the treasure was stolen by his father from a coffin of their deceased loved one.”
Looking around in confusion, and finding no one in sight, Hui Shi couldn’t help but continue speaking, as the other three listening, also looked around as well after seeing his actions, in futility as they couldn’t see anyone in sight, other than the four of them, and the chariot being pulled beside them. Even though, the old man was still a few distances ahead of them, standing still, while they walked towards him.
“His youngest son, hearing his words, became obsessed with finding the location where the treasure was hidden, but the old man, listening to his late father’s words, could only keep the secret location of the hidden treasure buried in his heart in fear of his father’s threats. After years went by, and he wouldn’t tell his son the truth, the son could only come up with a devious plot.
He ordered a few of his friends within his sect, to attack his parent’s home, on the night he was to return from the sect. His friends then attacked and tortured his elder brother, and sister, as well as his mother, as they asked them individually where the secret treasure was hidden, in hopes that his father had divulged the secret accidentally to them. But it was fruitless, as only the father knew the secret. The friends driven into desperation could only torture them to death before their father’s eyes. 7Please respect copyright.PENANAPk6mkQIsAl
