C28 The mystery of life
The Escort's originally bustling feast unhappily dispersed with the departure of the host. Of course, many of the escort teams also sent out people to assist them, while the Wuxing Escort Office had also sent out dozens of Escort. They were not here to help the host, but rather, they had injured Shen Kai.
Although hempen had injured Shen Kai, Shen Kai still felt a lot of confusion in his heart. Firstly, it seemed that the hempen didn't really want to kidnap Dong Yixin. If he really wanted to kidnap Dong Yixin, he wouldn't let Yu Er, who was accompanying him, leave and ask for help.
Secondly, Yu Er did not know any martial arts. From the time she had been called for help at the end of the alleyway to the time when she had met Shen Kai and Wang Zhengyu, hempen had been able to take Dong Yixin away.
Third, if the two suspicions from above were true, then hempen did not intend to harm Dong Yixin from the start, or did not intend to take her away from him from the start. Since she did not want to take Dong Yixin away, as hempen had said, he had an old grudge with Dong Mingzhuo. She had clearly told Dong Mingzhuo that there were people who wanted to deal with him, so Dong Mingzhuo must be on guard?
Fourth, why did you suddenly try to kill me? In the end, he could have killed me, but he didn't? What did that last smile mean? There was clearly no killing intent in his eyes.
These four questions lingered in Shen Kai's mind for a long time, but no matter how he thought about it, Shen Kai could not figure out the true purpose of the hempen. There must be many things that no one knew about between the hempen and Dong Mingzhuo, but Shen Kai did not plan to explore, because that was Dong Mingzhuo's problem, and the hempen's strength was way stronger than his, so he was still unable to come into contact with things of this level. Even if he knew about the secret behind the situation, it would not benefit him at all, and he was not interested in Dong Mingzhuo, so there was no need for him to understand all this.
Shen Kai returned to his room in the inn, and was about to look for medicine to treat the wound on his left arm that had been slashed by the sword aura. This kind of sword aura was different from normal wounds, the sword qi would destroy the life of a human, and if he did not treat the wound properly, it would have a huge impact on his left arm. If a martial artist lost their left hand, it was equivalent to losing half of their strength.
Dang dang dang, a series of knocks came from outside the door. "Xiao Kai, open the door." It was his father's voice.
Shen Kai opened the door and saw his father standing at the entrance, holding a medicine pot in his hands. On top of the medicine pot were several bottles of Gold Healing Medicine, gauze and scissors.
Seeing that his father gave him the medicine so late in the night, Shen Kai could not help but feel warmth in his heart. Although he and his father were not related by blood, his father treated him like his own son.
Shen Xing entered the room and placed the medicine bowl on the table, then said to Shen Kai: "Sit!"
Shen Kai sat down, and just as he was about to take the pill, he said, "You can sit, I'll do it." Hearing his father's words, Shen Kai withdrew his right hand that was reaching for the air.
Shen Xing also sat down and opened those bottles of Golden Sore Medicine. Shen Kai pulled up the sleeves of his left hand, revealing his wound, and carefully applied the powder on his wound.
As Shen Kai looked at his father's cautious appearance, he recalled how he was injured while fighting with someone else. Shen Xing was also like this, he carefully helped him apply medicine, and he would never scold Shen Kai. He would only scold Shen Feng, blaming him for not protecting his brother well, and injure his brother. The relationship between Shen Feng and Shen Kai at that time wasn't as stiff as it was before. At that time, Shen Kai loved to cause trouble and often fought with others. In order to prevent Shen Feng from getting punished, he tried his best to make himself stronger, and slowly he became a child king in that part of the Taixing Escort Office. Even some of the older kids couldn't beat him.
Recalling the interesting things that happened when he was young, Shen Kai couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at? Is father not well wrapped? " Shen Xing said.
Only then did Shen Kai realize that Shen Xing had already finished applying the medicine and was using a bandage to help bandage his wounds. And compared to the treatment that Dong Yixin had done for him today, it was much worse.
"Uh, no. I just remember when I was a kid my father helped me apply medicine. "
Shen Xing glanced at Shen Kai nonchalantly before he continued to bandage his wounds. "Shen Kai had long since gotten used to his father's stern expression. Father, am I your illegitimate child? " Shen Kai didn't know why he asked that, but when he said it out loud, he felt a burst of regret and also some anticipation.
Shen Xing's hands that were used to bandage the wound trembled, and then continued to bandage it. Shen Kai kept on looking at his father, but Shen Xing didn't look at him.
Silence descended into the room as Shen Kai waited for his father to speak.
"Originally, I wanted to tell you when my family comes to find you in the future. Since you asked, I'll answer you today." Shen Xing sighed and slowly said.
Shen Kai was first at a loss. He really wanted his father's answer, "Yes!" In Shen Kai's heart, he completely treated Shen Xing as his own biological father, even if they weren't blood related.
"In another two months, it should be the time for me to adopt you for eighteen years, right?" Shen Xing said slowly, his thoughts seemed to drift back to eighteen years ago.
"At that time, the Wuxing Escort Office had just been dissolved and I had coincidentally taken over the position of Taixing Escort Office. At that time, the spring snow was gradually melting and one morning, a man who claimed that he was your brother sent you to the Taixing Escort Office. He said that you were my benefactor's son and told me to take good care of you and not tell a third person about your identity."
"Why? Why did you send me away? " Shen Kai asked with his hoarse voice.
"Your elder brother said that someone was chasing after your father. He had listened to your father's orders so he sent you here. They didn't come to find you because they were worried that you would be targeted by the Chou family."
Hearing Shen Xing's words, Shen Kai's heart turned cold. One of the reasons that he didn't come to find was because he was afraid of the enemy finding him. Another reason might be that he had already lost his life to the enemy.
"Don't think too much into it, your father's High Strength is much stronger than the Dong Mingzhuo of today. There are very few people who are his match, and perhaps because of some things that were delayed, I have been asking for news about your father all these years. Although I did not manage to get any news on him, it's not like it's not good news at all."
His father was stronger than Dong Mingzhuo, but would the people chasing after him be weak? Eighteen years! There had been no news of him for eighteen years, so it was likely that his fate would not be good either.
Shen Kai laughed stiffly, showing that he did not think much into it, "Then what about my brother?"
"That brother of yours is strange. I don't think it's your brother?" Shen Xing said. Shen Kai did not understand the meaning of Shen Xing's words, and looked at Shen Xing suspiciously: "Your father's High Strength is extremely famous in the martial arts world, but I have never heard of him having a son that is already 15 or 16 years old. Even though your father has many female friends, he has yet to get married. If it wasn't for that youth who claims to be your brother taking out your father's keepsake, I might have even suspected your identity. "
