Promise (2), Gu Yang

"How about it?"

His voice only reached Xiao Yang's ears, and the others were unable to hear.

Xiao Yang raised his cute face and met the eyes of the man who appeared in front of him and saved him.

"Can you kill him... but you want me to promise something?" He thought for a while and spoke back to the anonymous man.

"Hmm... I can kill for you and take revenge for your Grandma, but you have to promise something." The anonymous man didn't get angry at Xiao Yang's words but showed a smile to him.

"Oh... Ok, kill him. I want him to die in front of me, and I want his whole family to die with him. But you have to only cripple him, I will kill him personally!" A cold and indifferent voice came from Xiao Yang's mouth. It was not the words of a five-year-old child.

Even the anonymous man, who heard Xiao Yang's words, looked at him in amazement. He stared into Xiao Yang's icy-blue pupils, which were devoid of emotions. Although there was not even a hint of killing intent, there was a coldness that a child of five years could never possess.

"Hmmm...!" He raised his hand in the void, and the body of the wretched man who caused Grandma to die started to deform in front of Xiao Yang.

Puff... A few seconds later, the cultivation of the condensation realm was destroyed. The wretched man looked at the anonymous man in horror. He couldn't help but regret what he had done now.

He even thought of running from here, but he couldn't even raise his head comfortably and was spitting out blood from his mouth.

As for Xiao Yang, he picked up the kitchen knife from the stall of his grandma and went to where the wretched man was collapsed on his knees.

His little shadow fell on the body of the wretched man. He raised his head and looked into Xiao Yang's cold pupils, trying to retreat back, but he was fully collapsed, how could he move?

"I don't know why you killed my grandma. Since you killed my grandma, be ready to die by my hand. Not only will you die, but also your friend, family, and anyone related to you. For more than two years, I've been working with Grandma here and saw many times that you've done many wrong things to many families. Killing you today will only relieve my pain, but when I kill your relatives, then their revenge will be complete." Xiao Yang clutched the knife in his little hand tightly and directly penetrated his throat, and blood started to come out from the knife where it was stabbed.

He backed off and looked at the Lackey of the wretched man in front of him, who was already urinating due to the fear of death.

The anonymous man did the same, crippling him, and Xiao Yang came in front of him and showed a cold smile to the Lackey of the wretched man, saying, "Weren't you the one who slapped my grandma and caused her death? Now be ready to bear the pain of death." Xiao Yang didn't want to kill this man so quickly before, but he wanted to torture this guy for killing his grandma.

He stepped closer towards him and stabbed the knife into his right palm once.

"Ahh...ahh... let me go... I am sorry. I will never do this again!"

"Huh... never do this again? And sorry for what? Killing my grandma...? Can you bring her back to life?" Xiao Yang asked.

"This...!" he didn't know what to say.

"Then die...!" He tightened his grip on his knife and stabbed the man countless times.

After a few minutes:

The blood of the man spread on his cute white face and red silver due to blood and blue pupil and cold smile, adding a hint of charm to his immature face.

Looking at the dead man, he turned around and went to the body of grandma and said, "Grandma, I have killed your killer, but if there is even a slight chance of your revival, I will definitely revive you and let you see the world again. And I know, you died because of me."

"Senior, I hope you can bury my grandma!"

He said to the anonymous man.

"Hmmm...," the man nodded.

Eastern Region

Starlight Sect

Starlight Sect Hall

"What is your name?" The handsome man brought Xiao Yang from the Western Desolation region to the Eastern Region within his sect after burying his grandma.

"I don't have any name; my grandma always called me Xiao Yang," Xiao Yang said slowly, genuinely like a five-year-old child, not like earlier when killing the man.

"Hmmm... Ok, from now on your name will be Gu Yang," the anonymous man said.

"Hmmm...!" Gu Yang also nodded after taking this name.

"As for my name, My name is Chu Yuan. Or you can call me Sect Master Chu."

"As for the promise that I want from you, after you awaken your martial spirit, you have to protect her as long as you are in this World," Chu Yuan said to Gu Yang.

"Okay... although I don't know what a martial spirit is, but Gu Yang nodded in affirmation.

"Xiao Lan, bring Yue'r here!" Chu Yuan said slowly in a certain direction.

As he said, there was a ripple in the void. Two figures appeared in the void: a woman and a five-six-year-old girl beside the woman.

Then Chu Yuan looked at Gu Yang and said, "You have to protect her."

Pointing towards the little girl with black hair, Chu Yuan said.

Gu Yang turned his head and saw the little girl with the woman while holding her hand.

A five-six year old girl, petite body, with delicate features accentuated by her long, flowing black hair that cascades down her back. Her face radiates innocence and charm, with sparkling eyes that gleam with curiosity and wonder. Her adorable smile lights up the room, captivating anyone who crosses her path. Despite her young age, there's a natural grace to her movements and a sense of poise beyond her years. It's evident even at this tender age that she's destined to blossom into a truly stunning beauty as she grows older, captivating hearts with her mesmerizing presence.

Looking at her, Gu Yang nodded for a while, then turned his head towards Chu Yuan. He took a drop of his blood from his fingers and followed Chu Yuan's earlier instructions upon arriving in the Eastern region. "Okay, senior, as long as I am present in this world with her, I will protect her. Even if I have to sacrifice my own life to protect her, I will definitely do it."

Rumble...!

As Gu Yang spoke, there was a huge thundering in the sky. Although it was covered by the roof of the hall, a mark was condensed on his left palm. It was the mark of the blood oath taken by Gu Yang to protect the girl, witnessed by heaven. Breaking it would lead to Gu Yang's death.

"Hmmm.....!" Chu Yuan nodded in confirmation.

"Yue'r, lead Gu Yang to his room! And remember to come back soon!" Chu Yuan called his daughter to escort Gu Yang to his new room.

After that, Chu Yue, the daughter of Chu Yuan, came in front of Gu Yang and said, "Come with me!"

Hmmm...! Glancing at Chu Yuan, Gu Yang followed Chu Yue into his new room.

As Chu Yue led Gu Yang to his room, they ventured into another area adjacent to the hall of the sect. Here, amidst the tranquil surroundings, stood the residence of Chu Yuan and his family, a haven of peace and serenity in the bustling sect.

The path they traversed was lined with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, their sweet fragrance filling the air as if welcoming Gu Yang into their midst. The gentle rustle of leaves and the melodious chirping of birds provided a soothing backdrop to their journey.

Chu Yue walked gracefully, her movements fluid and graceful, like a dancer gliding across the stage. She exuded an aura of elegance and poise, her demeanor a reflection of her noble lineage as the daughter of the sect master.

Gu Yang followed closely behind, his eyes taking in the beauty of his surroundings with wonder and awe. He marveled at the intricately designed architecture of the buildings, their towering structures adorned with intricate carvings and colorful banners fluttering in the breeze.

As they approached the entrance to Gu Yang's new abode, Chu Yue turned to him with a warm smile.

Gu Yang nodded gratefully, his heart filled with gratitude towards Chu Yue for her kindness and hospitality. "Thank you, for your guidance."

With that, Chu Yue opened the door to Gu Yang's room, revealing a cozy and inviting space bathed in soft, warm light. The room was adorned with elegant furnishings and adorned with delicate tapestries, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

"Please make yourself at home, Gu Yang. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Father and I are here to support you," Chu Yue said warmly, gesturing for Gu Yang to enter.

Gu Yang stepped into his new room, feeling a sense of peace wash over him. As he settled into his new surroundings, he knew that he had found not just a place to stay, but a family who would stand by him through thick and thin.

With a grateful smile, Gu Yang thanked Chu Yue once again before closing the door behind him. As he lay down on his bed, he felt a sense of contentment wash over him, knowing that he was finally home.

In the Inn Sect's hall...

"Husband, will it be good for Gu Yang? Did you not see his cruelty when he killed the man?" Xiao Lan, Chu Yuan's wife, asked as both Gu Yang and Chu Yue left.

"Haha....you are thinking too much. Now Gu Yang is bound by the blood oath. Even if he wanted to escape, he can't. As for cruelty, if someone killed me, I would not spare him. And don't worry, I am doing this for Yue'r. After all, I am sure her talent will definitely be at the divine level, and she will be able to inherit the sect in the future, and Gu Yang can be a good assistant to her in these," Chu Yuan raised his head and said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Lan sighed for a while then asked again. "What if Gu Yang's talent is not good, and if he wants to be Yue'r's assistant, he needs talent of at least level 9. And what if he is not talented and Yue'r falls in love with him? Will you agree to Yue'r's choice?"

"Don't worry, I have already thought of these! As for his talent, I am sure it is at the level of Yue'r or even better. And if his talent is divine level, it is even better if they fall in love with each other," he waved his hand and said.

"Okay....!" Xiao Lan couldn't do much about this, so she only sighed and nodded.

"Okay, let's go back! We were out of the sect for a few months, searching for herbs for Yue'r but still unable to find." As he said, both disappeared from the void.

[A/N : Ahh....I am sorry dear readers. My mobile was dropped from the rooftop to the ground and it was broken. And my father wants agreeing to repair the mobile phone. And fortunately yesterday, it was repaired. And I have already commented in the previous chapter about my phone, with my another account. And another reason was, this Gmail account was only in this phone, not even in my pc. And it has dual step verification, so it was impossible to login in another phone.]
