242: Chapter 246 Taking him to the Qingyang Sect
At the same time.
The child's father slowly regained his senses.
The previous memories became clear in his mind.
He quickly looked around.
As if searching for something.
Just then, he heard a voice from behind him.
"Father!"
His son was standing there.
Healthy and sound.
Still alive.
Tears instantly streamed down his face.
The little boy, Wang Ning, ran straight into his father's arms.
The man knelt down.
He hugged his son tightly.
Both of them began to cry uncontrollably.
After a while.
Little Wang Ning told his father what he remembered.
It was the big brother standing over there who had saved him.
Although the father was just an ordinary person.
He was no fool.
He understood what it meant to be able to fight against those demons.
Save his son.
And still stand there completely unscathed.
As if nothing had happened.
That person was definitely not an ordinary man.
He immediately bowed deeply to Lu Chen and said.
"This humble one thanks you, My Lord, for saving my son."
At this moment.
He still didn't know that Lu Chen had also saved him.
Then.
A vendor nearby walked up.
And whispered something in his ear.
Upon hearing this, the man.
Immediately fell to his knees.
He kowtowed like he was pounding garlic.
"Your Lordship's great kindness is beyond repayment. My Lord, from this day forth, my life belongs to you."
Lu Chen replied.
"I don't need your life. But I noticed that your son is somewhat special. He might have the chance to become a Cultivator. Are you willing to let your son follow me to the Sect?"
Boom.
In an instant.
Everyone around felt as if a bolt from the blue had exploded in their minds.
Even Wang Ning's father was dazed by the shock.
"My child has a chance to become an Immortal?"
His expression was vacant.
He muttered to himself.
His voice was filled with disbelief.
Unconsciously.
Tears flowed from his eyes.
He turned to his son and said.
"Ning'er, do you understand what His Lordship means? Do you want to go with him?"
Wang Ning looked confused.
But he still answered.
"Father, I don't understand, but I like big brother. If he wants me to follow him and you agree, I will go with him."
Wang Shi's expression turned joyful.
His wife had passed away while giving birth to their son.
Since then.
The father and son had relied on each other for survival.
Since he was young, his son had been exceptionally sensible.
More mature than others his age.
Now, heaven had shown mercy.
He had finally been chosen.
Giving him a Spiritual Root.
Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction.
He liked children who showed filial piety.
Then he walked up to Wang Ning and said.
"My name is Lu Fu. Wang Ning, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."
Luo Nianwei blinked in surprise.
Why would Lu Chen use the name Lu Fu in this world?
But she said nothing.
Because she knew she would find out later.
Wang Ning hurriedly bowed and said.
"I'm also glad to meet you, big brother. My name is Wang Ning."
Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Wang Ning, I think your Physique is very special. Perhaps you will have the chance to become very powerful in the future. Do you want to seize this opportunity?"
Wang Ning's small face became determined.
He nodded firmly and said.
"I do, big brother. I want to become as strong as you, so I can protect my father."
Lu Chen smiled.
"Good, you have ambition. Now you must come with me. We are going somewhere very far away."
"You might not see your father for a very long time. Are you ready?"
This time.
A look of hesitation finally appeared on Wang Ning's face.
For the past six years.
He had always lived with his father.
Leaving him suddenly now.
Not being able to see him.
Was a heavy blow to his young heart.
Seeing his son's conflicted little face, Wang Shi.
Hurried forward and said.
"Go, son! If you become powerful, you can come back to see me anytime."
Wang Ning's eyes lit up.
The hesitation on his face vanished.
Replaced by a look of determination.
Then he turned.
Looked at Lu Chen and said.
"I'm ready, big brother."
"Alright. We will leave in two hours. You can go say goodbye to your friends now. Come find me here in two hours."
Wang Ning nodded.
And immediately began running toward home.
Wang Shi shouted from behind him.
"Slow down! Don't trip."
But by then, Wang Ning had already run far away.
Wang Shi turned back to look at Lu Chen once more.
Bowed deeply again.
And only then followed after his son and left.
The surrounding vendors and commoners.
From beginning to end.
Watched the entire process with wide eyes.
From the moment Lu Chen healed Wang Shi.
To the conversation about taking Wang Ning to cultivate.
It all felt like a dream.
They were just a group of ordinary people.
Trying to live their normal lives.
Now.
One of them had suddenly been chosen by an Immortal.
To do something extraordinary.
This filled them with awe.
And heartfelt envy.
However, no one dared to look directly at Lu Chen.
Fearing they might accidentally offend this deity.
Everyone began to leave quietly.
Too much had happened today.
No one was in the mood to stay here any longer.
After the crowd dispersed.
Luo Nianwei couldn't help but look at Lu Chen with confusion in her eyes.
She asked.
"Why are you using the name Lu Fu instead of your real name?"
Lu Chen saw her eyes go wide.
Looking like a curious baby.
She looked very cute.
