Chapter 908: Trust
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chang Xian placed the t.i.tle deed at his heart and stuck it there. He was by the door. The morning sun was rising and the light landed on him. It was warm and it warmed his heart.
He sat by the door for a long time. Suddenly, he was shocked again. He repeatedly took out the t.i.tle deed and looked at it. He repeatedly confirmed that this was really happening and not a dream.
He shed tears again and smiled foolishly.
!!This repeated many times. He was like a fool.
He ate well these days, and his body seemed to have improved a lot.
At night, he also touched the t.i.tle deed with both hands and fell asleep.
He dreamed of his deceased family. He cried and told them that he had taken it back. He had met a good person. He had taken back what was in the clan so that they would never feel guilty again.
His grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother all smiled gently and nodded to show that they were very sure of him. They touched his head and said that it had been hard on him.
This beautiful dream made him cry and laugh in his dreams.
He even knew that this was a dream. He was afraid that their reunion would be too short, so he cried and said many things in the dream.
His parents and grandparents listened kindly.
When he woke up from the dream, Chang Xian was in a daze for a long time. He could sense that his mental state had changed. There was a shackle that had shackled him for six years, but it had disappeared today.
He knew what it was. He understood that it would be different in the future. He knew it all. He smiled and got out of bed to wash up. After cleaning up, he went to the memorial and respectfully offered incense to his parents and grandparents.
He muttered to himself, “Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandma, I’m going to a faraway place. I won’t come back often in the future. Don’t worry, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, I won’t give up. With such an opportunity, I’ll definitely study hard, become stronger in the future, and help others.” With that said, Chang Xian kowtowed a few times to the memorial.
After doing this, he went to get food.
After eating, he tidied up and locked the door. He squatted down and tied his legs. He tied the seed that was used to isolate the ground to his legs and propped himself up with both hands as feet to go out.
He came to Old Chang’s house first and solemnly expressed again that he wanted to notarize the t.i.tle deed. He asked Old Chang to call the other families who had yet to move out and gather together to distribute it. Although many clansmen had left their hometowns, the family tree clearly recorded how many families the entire clan had in the past.
Since Chang Xian insisted, Old Chang and the others respected his choice.
Chang Xian even urged him to notarize it. He wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
In the next four days, Chang Xian settled this matter. He also asked Old Chang’s family to help manage his portion.
He had to wait now. When Su Xiaolu came to pick him up, as long as she came, he would follow her.
The five days were up.
Chang Xian had packed up early and was waiting.
Old Chang’s family also waited with him.
When the morning sun rose, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
They were all worried. What if Su Xiaolu did not come?
If she didn’t come, Chang Xian would be so sad.
Chang Xian kept looking in the direction he came from. Apart from that, he couldn’t see anything else. He thought to himself that if all of this was true, as long as Su Xiaolu came, his life would be hers from now on. He would believe in her for the rest of her life.
He held his trust in his palm and waited for Su Xiaolu to take it.
When Su Xiaolu rode her horse and appeared in front of Chang Xian and the others, Chang An cheered. “Beautiful sister is here, she’s here.”
Old Chang couldn’t help but tear up.
Everyone was happy for Chang Xian.
Chang Xian kept looking at Su Xiaolu. His heart was beating very fast, so violently that it seemed to be jumping out of his chest. She was here, she was here.
When the sunlight landed on her, she glowed. She was so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off her.
Su Xiaolu rode her horse over and dismounted. She took out the wooden wheelchair from the s.p.a.ce and asked Chang Xian with a smile, “Chang Xian, have you decided? Do you want to go to Guiyuan Academy with me?”
Without waiting for Chang Xian to answer, she put down the wooden wheelchair and said with a smile, “You’re not in good health. This is for you. You can remove the doorstep of your house. This will make it easier for you to go out.”
Chang Xian kept looking at Su Xiaolu and clenched his fists. He was clearly prepared and had already decided that he would say that he was willing when she came. However, when he really saw Su Xiaolu standing in front of him, he could not say it.
Chang An was a little anxious for him. He whispered, “Uncle, quickly say that you’re willing. The beautiful sister is here to pick you up.”
Old Chang smiled and said, “Miss Su, Chang Xian is willing to go with you. He’s just too shy. As you know, his body… He’s probably afraid.”
Chang Xian’s face gradually turned red. He was nervous as he stuttered, “Can
Guiyuan Academy accept someone like me? W-will I really recover?”
“Chang Xian, whether Guiyuan Academy can accept you depends on whether you work hard enough and if you’re talented enough. There’s an a.s.sessment every year. You can stay if you pa.s.s the a.s.sessment. Of course, you’ll recover. I’ll treat you. Let me ask you now, are you willing to come with me? Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Chang Xian seriously and said. She became serious and decided to take Chang Xian in as her disciple.
Chang Xian looked at Su Xiaolu and his eyes turned red. He choked and quickly nodded with difficulty. “Chang Xian is willing to acknowledge you as his master. Chang Xian is willing to leave with Master.”
After Chang Xian said that, his body trembled uncontrollably. He was too excited.
He clenched his fists tightly, using the pain to wake him up.
Su Xiaolu smiled. “Alright, we’ll have the Apprentice Ceremony now. After you serve tea, I’ll bring you with me.”
When Old Chang heard this, he immediately asked his family to prepare tea.
Several other families also came to take a look.
After the Apprentice Ceremony was completed.
Su Xiaolu grabbed Chang Xian’s wrist and said, “Chang Xian, I’ll perform the first acupuncture for you today. You’ll recover in half a year.”
With that, Su Xiaolu took out a needle bag and unfolded it before giving Chang Xian acupuncture.
The silver needle acupuncture technique was unique. Chang Xian was fascinated by it.
Su Xiaolu’s medical skills had long reached perfection. When she asked Chang Xian if it was pain or heat, Chang Xian was shocked. After one acupuncture session, he could already feel his legs heating up. This sign made him even more certain that he would recover.
Chang Xian looked at Su Xiaolu with grat.i.tude in his eyes. “Master, what have I done to be able to meet Master? I will never forget Master’s kindness in this life. I will remember Master’s teachings for the rest of my life and never let you down.”
“It’s good that you remember. I’ll leave you and your clansmen to bid farewell tonight. I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and said. She gave Chang Xian another night’s time.
After embarking on this path, his life would be different. In the future, it would probably be difficult for him to reunite with his clansmen. Even if they reunited, it would be different. Therefore, he cherished this moment..
