114: Mysterious Letters from Father Maureen (Subscribe)

After leaving the house, Mo Fan headed straight towards the outskirts of the East City.

On the way, he bought a fruit basket.

Well, an empty basket.

Then, he took out some spirit fruit from the system space and put it inside.

Half an hour later, a detached courtyard with a sense of age came into Mo Fan's view.

In front of the vermilion gate, a huge plaque covered with red silk was hanging.

On the plaque were written two vigorous and powerful characters: Sun Residence.

He was here to visit his father's close friend, Second Master Sun.

When his father was still around, he liked to run over to Second Master Sun's house to play chess and drink.

Sometimes when he got drunk, he would make Mo Fan run over to pick him up.

However, after his father left home, Mo Fan rarely came over, only visiting during the New Year and holidays.

Of course, under normal circumstances, he was planning to visit on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

But a while ago, when Mo Fan was staying at home in the Spirit Herb Garden No. 20, he received a call from Second Master Sun.

On the phone, Second Master Sun asked Mo Fan to come see him as soon as he returned home.

Mo Fan didn't know why Second Master Sun was looking for him.

But he guessed it was very likely related to his father.

So, as soon as he found some time, he rushed over.

After pondering for a moment, Mo Fan stepped forward, reached out, grabbed the bronze knocker on the door, and knocked.

The bronze knocker was connected to a doorbell.

Grandpa Sun, are you home?

After knocking on the door, Mo Fan waited quietly.

Before long.

The gate creaked open.

A figure in a light blue silk dress, with exquisite features, a tall stature, and a slightly cold temperament, came into Mo Fan's view.

Mo Fan subconsciously cast an Appraisal Technique on her.

[Sun Shan, 18 years old, Xiantian First Level cultivation, freshman at the Capital Martial Arts University, possesses extraordinary talent for Cultivation.]

Well, Sun Shan, Second Master Sun's Granddaughter, and Mo Fan's childhood playmate.

When they were both little kids, Sun Shan often followed behind Mo Fan, whether it was catching fish in the river or climbing trees to dig for bird eggs, they were almost inseparable.

Of course, after they grew up a bit, their relationship gradually became distant.

After entering high school, Sun Shan followed her parents to the provincial capital for school, and the two drifted even further apart, almost never contacting each other again.

Long time no see, Mo Fan said with a smile, greeting her.

Long time no see. Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and responded politely.

Is Grandpa Sun home? Mo Fan asked.

He is, he's in the courtyard sunbathing. What do you need him for? Sun Shan said, looking at Mo Fan.

Nothing important, I just haven't seen him in a while, so I came to visit, Mo Fan said.

I see, then follow me. Sun Shan smiled, pulled the gate open, and led Mo Fan into the courtyard.

Passing through the long corridor.

Walking along the stone path lined with pine and cypress trees, listening to the tinkling of a clear spring, Mo Fan arrived at the courtyard where Second Master Sun was, and saw the aged figure lying on a rattan chair sunbathing.

Before walking over, Mo Fan quietly cast an Appraisal Technique over.

He had always felt that Second Master Sun was not an ordinary person.

Now that he had the Appraisal Technique, he could finally know the truth.

If Second Master Sun was not an ordinary person.

Then his own unreliable father who had left home was also likely not an ordinary person.

Soon, a bright blue Virtual panel flashed.

[Sun Weiguo, 128 years old, Guiyuan Peak cultivation, formerly one of the five great guardians of the Human Race, skilled in blade techniques, known as the Blade God. Guarded the south for decades, deterring billions of demons, ensuring the stability of the region.]

[Twenty years ago, to block invading demons, Sun Weiguo was seriously injured, his Primordial Spirit Light was almost exhausted, his strength less than one percent of his Peak, and he could only return to his hometown to spend his remaining years.]

Seeing this appraisal information, Mo Fan was stunned, almost petrified on the spot.

He had thought that Second Master Sun might be a bit extraordinary.

But he didn't expect the other party to be extraordinary to such a degree.

This background is too outrageous, right?

Guiyuan Peak cultivation, one of the former five great guardians, a being standing at the Peak!

But soon, Mo Fan sighed slightly.

It's a pity that Second Master Sun, who once stood at the Peak and protected billions of people, had now become a fallen hero, covered in injuries and illness, and could only stay in this small place, Jiang City, to retire and wait for death.

For a once nearly invincible powerhouse, this was somewhat sad and helpless.

Of course, Mo Fan also thought of another question.

My unreliable father is on such good terms with Second Master Sun, could he also be an amazing big shot?

Just as Mo Fan was stunned, Second Master Sun turned the rattan chair around, smiled at Mo Fan, and beckoned him over:

Xiao Fan, come here quickly, Grandpa Sun hasn't seen you for a long time.

Mo Fan took a deep breath, calmed his mood, smiled, and walked over carrying the fruit basket.

Grandpa Sun, this is for you. Eating more fruit is good for your health.

You child, just coming over is enough, why bring things? Your dad never brought me anything. Second Master Sun shook his head and said with a smile.

Mo Fan scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Give the fruit to Shan Shan, let her go wash it and cut some for us to eat, Second Master Sun said.

Mo Fan nodded and handed the fruit basket to Sun Shan.

Sun Shan pouted, took the fruit basket somewhat reluctantly, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

After Sun Shan walked away, Mo Fan turned to look at Second Master Sun and said:

Did you ask me to come over because you have clues about my father?

Hearing this, Second Master Sun first nodded, then shook his head.

Uh? Mo Fan looked puzzled.

Finally, Second Master Sun sighed and said: I still haven't found any trace of your father, but a while ago, he had someone send a letter over.

A letter? Mo Fan asked, puzzled.

Second Master Sun nodded and continued: In the letter, he reminisced with me and asked me to give this to you.

As he spoke, a thin black piece of paper appeared in Second Master Sun's hand, who knows when.

He carefully pinched the edge of the black paper and handed it to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan looked puzzled, and also carefully took the paper, pinching its edge.

This thing looked like a black blade, but it was only two fingers wide and ten centimeters long.

What was surprising was that the black paper, which looked ordinary, erupted with a brilliant, dark light the moment Mo Fan took it.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure appeared out of thin air.

Hum—

With a humming sound, the air seemed to solidify, and visible ripples appeared.

The clear sky, which had stretched for ten thousand miles, darkened in an instant, making it impossible to see one's own fingers.

Fortunately, after a moment, everything returned to normal.

As if that moment just now was just an illusion.

Hiss— Second Master Sun couldn't help but gasp, his whole body trembling with excitement.

His originally cloudy eyes became bright at this moment, and he muttered to himself.

He actually really took that step? Incredible, simply incredible, forty years old, he is only forty years old—

On the other side, Mo Fan stared blankly at the black paper in his hand, unable to recover for a long time.

Finally, he took a breath, focused his mind, and cast an Appraisal Technique on it.
