62: Chapter 62 Son Beats Father

Luo Yunkai was comfortably lying flat—no, lying in a rocking chair, basking in the sun and taking a nap.

With a 'bang,' his courtyard gate was forced open.

Luo Yunkai sat up instantly.

What's going on? Did someone attack? Why didn't the Formation trigger?

He looked up and saw his Good Eldest Son.

He relaxed and lay back down, "Tian'er, why are you being so rash?"

Xiao Tian rushed to Luo Yunkai's side like a whirlwind and squatted down.

Jin Fugui, seeing this scene from behind, couldn't help but hold his forehead.

He had expected to see Xiao Tian pointing at Uncle Luo's nose and scolding him, but this was it?

"Old man, did you ever pick up a woman?"

Luo Yunkai was baffled. He flicked Xiao Tian's forehead, "Your dad hasn't even left the house, where would I pick up a woman?"

Xiao Tian became anxious, "Not now, it was... it was..."

He quickly turned back to seek help, "Big Brother Jin, how many years ago was that?"

"Twenty-five years ago."

Xiao Tian turned back and stared intently at his father, "Old man, did you hear that? Twenty-five years ago, did you ever pick up a woman?"

Luo Yunkai had recalled his romantic history not long ago. This woman he picked up, while perhaps not the most beautiful among all his women, had a very unique entrance and exit. Of course, he remembered.

He stroked his chin and looked at Jin Fugui, "You recognize her?"

This statement confirmed it.

Xiao Tian's eyes turned red, "Old man, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

Luo Yunkai was confused, "What about me?"

He could accept Su Xin, Ye Fan, and the two older siblings whose whereabouts were unknown, but why couldn't he accept this one?

"She was severely injured, Old Man, how could you bring yourself to do it?" Xiao Tian questioned him fully.

Luo Yunkai suddenly realized that his Good Eldest Son's sense of justice was overflowing, thinking his father had taken advantage of someone in need.

He couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't take advantage of her; we were mutually attracted and in love."

Su Xin was suspicious, "Father, do you know her identity? Would she have been mutually attracted to you?"

There was one thing Su Xin didn't say: Couldn't you at least make up a more believable lie?

Luo Yunkai saw the three sons looking at him with expressions reserved for scoundrels and felt deeply wronged.

"Although your father is a philanderer, when it comes to women, it has always been mutual consent; I have never forced anyone!"

Xiao Tian believed him.

"Then, Old Man, tell us what happened back then. Did you have relations with her? Is that Chen Xuanfeng one of our brothers?"

"Chen Xuanfeng?" Luo Yunkai caught the name, his eyes lighting up slightly, "He should be one of your older brothers."

"Back then, I found her near the outskirts of the Yunyin Forest. She was covered in wounds, not from Yao Beasts, but inflicted by people."

"I was worried that bringing her back to the Yunyin Market would lead to her pursuers discovering her, so I arranged for her to stay in a cave and took meticulous care of her."

"I admit, I was moved by her appearance."

"She was gravely injured, and even with my care, it took three days for her to wake up."

"After waking up, she had forgotten everything—she didn't know her name or who she had offended."

Jin Fugui suddenly understood, so that's how it was.

"I told her the circumstances of how I found her, and she examined her own injuries. She made the same decision as me: not to go to the Market."

Jin Fugui mumbled, no wonder the City Lord of Dan City searched frantically back then and never found his daughter.

"We stayed together in that cave. Since I was the first person she saw after losing her memory, developing feelings was also a natural progression."

"A month later, her injuries had healed, but her body was still very frail due to the previous trauma."

Jin Fugui inwardly calculated: How could this be healed? Only the external injuries were healed; the internal injuries were untouched. Well, that made sense; a Golden Core level injury—what decent healing resources could Uncle Luo find in a small place like the Yunyin Market?

"Perhaps worried that I would abandon her, she said she wanted to become my Dao Companion."

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow as he said this, "I had no reason to refuse, did I?"

"Since we were Dao Companions, naturally, we did everything we should and shouldn't have. However, two months after we became Dao Companions, one day when I went out hunting Yao Beasts and returned, she was gone."

Saying this, Luo Yunkai looked towards Jin Fugui, "Fugui, do you know that woman's identity? Who is she? Where did she take my son?"

Well, mainly the son; as for the woman?

Luo Yunkai subtly pressed his lower back, still feeling a bit sore.

Forget it, forget it. He was old now and not that desperate for women.

Jin Fugui was almost certain that the woman Luo Yunkai spoke of was the only daughter of the City Lord of Dan City.

"Uncle, is this her?" Jin Fugui used spiritual power to conjure an image in the air.

Luo Yunkai didn't dare to confirm upon first sight of the face.

Because the arrogance and impudence radiating from those eyes were hard to reconcile with the gentle and considerate woman from the cave back then.

But the face was indeed the same face.

Luo Yunkai said uncertainly, "The face is right, but the eyes..."

Jin Fugui was amused, "Amnesia naturally causes changes. It is her, then. Uncle Luo, I must say, you are the best!"

He gave a thumbs-up, filled with admiration.

"Do you know who she is?"

Luo Yunkai: "Is her status very high?"

Jin Fugui nodded, "Very high, more than just generally high. The daughter of the City Lord of Dan City. Uncle Luo, you are blessed."

Luo Yunkai fell silent.

"Ahem, Fugui, before I get the supreme grade spirit cleansing pill, could you please keep this secret?"

Jin Fugui burst out laughing, and his joyous laughter echoed above the courtyard.

"Hahaha, Uncle Luo, you... the son-in-law of the City Lord of Dan City, are you afraid you won't get the spirit cleansing pill? Hahaha..."

Luo Yunkai's face darkened.

He slowly stood up and stretched his neck, "Fugui, my cultivation has increased too quickly recently, and my Foundation is unstable. Why don't you spar with your Uncle?"

Jin Fugui's laughter abruptly stopped. He probed with his Divine Sense and discovered that Luo Yunkai had somehow already reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

He expressed some concern, "Uncle Luo, cultivation must be gradual; you shouldn't seek quick success."

Luo Yunkai nodded and flew forward to engage Jin Fugui.

Seeing this, Jin Fugui didn't even bother taking out his abacus and engaged Luo Yunkai directly.

He was very confident, believing he could easily defeat Luo Yunkai.

This confidence quickly vanished under Luo Yunkai's offensive.

"Uncle Luo, I'm getting serious now!" Jin Fugui shouted after being kicked flying once again.

Luo Yunkai smiled, "Come on!"

Jin Fugui took out his abacus, and the beads streaked across like golden meteors.

A five-colored barrier rose in front of Luo Yunkai, solidly blocking the abacus beads.

Not only did it block them!

The moment the abacus beads collided with the five-colored barrier, golden light flashed, and then, half of the beads suddenly reversed direction and flew towards Jin Fugui.

"Crackling..."

Jin Fugui was bombarded by his own Magical Artifact all over his body and face, leaving his forehead red and swollen.

Seeing more and more uncontrolled abacus beads flying towards him, Jin Fugui shouted:

"Uncle, show mercy! I won't fight anymore!"

The abacus beads hovered above his head. Luo Yunkai's tone was low and steady, "Fugui, will you help Uncle keep this secret?"

Jin Fugui was on the verge of tears and raised his hands in surrender, "Yes, yes, I'll help! I never said I wouldn't help!"

What sin had he committed? First, he beat the son, and now he was being beaten by the father!
