Chapter 1 Return, King Tianchen!
The sun in Jiangcheng is scorching in July.
Amid the bustling crowd, a thin young man silently gazed at this familiar yet unfamiliar city.
"After fifteen years, I am finally back. My seven sisters, are you all okay?"
The young man whispered softly.
His name is Lu Yun. He is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. He has seven non-blood-related sisters who treat him like their closest family.
Their favorite game when they were young was playing house with Lu Yun, and they promised that they would marry Lu Yun together when they grew up.
Lu Yun was only five years old at that time. He said in a baby voice, "We are not children of three or four years old anymore. We must keep our words."
So the sisters made a pinky promise with him that whoever went back on his word would be a puppy.
In this way, little Lu Yun looked forward to growing up every day until a fire completely burned his life.
The sisters could have escaped from the fire, but in order to go back to find him, they were also trapped in the fire.
Little Lu Yun was frightened and started crying loudly.
But even in this situation, the elder sister still held him in her arms and comforted him not to be afraid.
The fire was blazing.
The eight children huddled together tightly and were soon choked by the thick smoke.
When little Lu Yun opened his eyes again, it was still the sea of fire, but the difference was that an old Taoist priest appeared in front of him.
The old Taoist priest stood on the blazing flames, but his clothes were surprisingly intact.
Little Lu Yun was stunned, thinking he was hallucinating, until the old Taoist priest said, "I can save your sisters, but only if you take me as your master."
This sentence was like a life-saving straw, and little Lu Yun agreed without thinking.
At that time, he did not realize that his life would be completely rewritten from then on.
After leaving the welfare home, the old Taoist priest took Lu Yun to a Taoist temple and taught him medicine, martial arts, spiritual techniques, and even let him practice an unnamed magical skill.
This stay lasted for ten years.
When Lu Yun was fifteen years old, he thought he could finally return to Jiangcheng, but the old Taoist priest sent him to the border battlefield again.
This stay lasted another five years.
After five years of fighting and bloody battles, an organization called "Tianshe" rose up.
The thirty-six Tianshen were all divine generals, guarding the four regions. From then on, no one dared to invade the Dragon Kingdom.
And their king, Lord Yuntian, had already quietly returned to the place of his childhood memories - Jiangcheng.
……
Lu Yun recalled the past, as if he was dreaming.
Really.
If it had not really happened to him, anyone would find it ridiculous if they heard such an experience.
Sunshine Welfare Home.
Still.
But Lu Yun's mood was extremely complicated.
The fire fifteen years ago brought widespread attention to the welfare home, and caring people from all walks of life actively donated and rebuilt the welfare home.
The former blue brick and tile houses have become small high-rise buildings today. The conditions and facilities in all aspects are much better than before, but after all, it is no longer the place that Lu Yun is familiar with.
However, when Lu Yun saw the innocent smiles of the children, the strange feeling in his heart instantly disappeared.
He seemed to see himself and his sisters as children.
It turns out that nothing has changed, and the welfare home is still that beautiful place.
Lu Yun found the welfare home staff and explained his purpose.
Soon, a woman wearing reading glasses came up to Lu Yun and looked at him puzzledly.
"I'm the director of Sunshine Welfare Home. Who are you looking for?"
"Are you the dean?"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment.
In his memory, the dean's surname was Wu, and he was a kind old grandfather, definitely not the woman in front of him.
The old woman nodded and said, "I have been the dean for more than ten years. Aren't you here to see me?"
"I'm looking for Grandpa Wu."
"So you're looking for the old dean. He's been retired for a long time!"
When the woman heard that Lu Yun was here to see the old dean, she dispelled her doubts about him and became more friendly.
But Lu Yun frowned.
Grandpa Wu actually retired?
And from what the woman said, it seemed that Grandpa Wu had stepped down as dean more than ten years ago.
Is it because of the fire?
Lu Yun hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, do you have Grandpa Wu's address?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Please wait a moment. I will write down the address for you."
The woman turned and went back into the house. After a while, she came out with a note with the address written on it and handed it to Lu Yun.
"Thank you!"
With the address given by the woman, Lu Yun came to a civilian house.
He saw a white-haired old man hunched over, cleaning the yard. Lu Yun recognized him immediately as Grandpa Wu.
I haven't seen Grandpa Wu for fifteen years. He has aged so much?
Lu Yun felt sad and quickened his pace, but the next scene made the anger in his heart burst out instantly.
Just as Grandpa Wu was cleaning, a young man in a flowered shirt suddenly pushed him hard and cursed:
"Old man, I know those women send you money every month. Where's the money? Where's the money?"
Robbery in broad daylight!
Lu Yun was furious. He rushed over, grabbed the young man in the flowered shirt by the collar and shouted, "You even robbed an old man of his money. Are you still a human being? You beast!"
"Cough cough..."
The young man in the flowered shirt obviously did not expect someone to suddenly rush over. A hint of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly forced himself to remain calm.
"You...you let me go, this is my family affair...what does it have to do with you?"
"Family?"
This time it was Lu Yun's turn to be confused, and he turned to look at Grandpa Wu.
Grandpa Wu looked sad and sighed, "Young man, he is indeed not a robber. His name is Wang Gang, and he is my adopted child."
Wang Gang?
Wang Gang!
Lu Yun stared at the young man in the flowered shirt in front of him for a while and finally recognized him.
No wonder there was such a familiar feeling, it turned out to be Wang Gang, who often bullied me when I was a child and was beaten on the head by my sisters.
How come he was adopted by Grandpa Wu?
Lu Yun was distracted for a moment.
Wang Gang took the opportunity to break free from his hands, coughing violently, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.
"You son of a bitch, why do you mind my business? Now that you know this is my family affair, why don't you just get out of here!"
Wang Gang glared at Lu Yun fiercely, and then roared at Wu Wende:
"Old man, you adopted me, so you should give me good food, good clothes, and good toys. If you can't give me the best, why did you adopt me?"
"Where's the money those women sent you? Take it out! Why are you hiding it? Do you want to take it into your coffin to spend it?"
"I don't think you'll live much longer, and you'll have to rely on me to see you off to the grave. If you don't give me the money, who will you give it to? You're such a brainless old man!"
Wang Gang's words became more and more outrageous.
Wu Wende's sturdy body was shaking violently, but he just lowered his head silently and endured Wang Gang's verbal abuse.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to slap him.
Snapped!
"I'm going to slap you for being so outspoken and disrespectful to your elders!"
Snapped!
"I'll slap you in the face for repaying kindness with hatred. You are unworthy of being a human being!"
Snapped!
"This slap in the face is for your blindness and your inability to recognize a true dragon!"
