X-Dragon Era-Chapter 503 - s 364-366 Continuous Surprises_3

With a helpless shake of his head, Xin Yun said resolutely, "Alright, if you truly insist, then I agree, but..."

Hearing Xin Yun’s initial words, Luo Fu couldn’t help but be overjoyed, yet the latter part with "but" made Luo Fu furrow his brows. Based on his experience, it was always at times like these that things took a turn.

Indeed, after a slight pause, Xin Yun continued, "Do you think they’ll be safe with this arrangement? Can you guarantee that what happened today won’t happen again?"

"This... I!" Luo Fu stuttered in response to Xin Yun’s words. Indeed... unless he could tie his sons by his side, incidents like today’s were simply unavoidable.

Taken aback, Xin Yun continued, "You have seven children, you can’t possibly take perfect care of them all. You’ve already trained them to be warriors like yourself. You should know that such warriors must always face endless life and death trials. How many of them do you think can successfully reach your current level!"

Listening to Xin Yun’s words, Luo Fu was utterly speechless. Initially... of the hundreds of Luo Clan youths who ventured out with him, as of today, only he remained! And even that might well be because he had been in seclusion for over a decade. Without that, he might have died long ago.

Luo Fu knew his own children well; they were just like he had been, wanting to make a name for themselves in the Jianghu, unstoppable in their desires. In fact... Luo Fu couldn’t even stop himself, so how could he attempt to stop others?

Upon further thought, Luo Fu understood. Their nature involved bloodshed, and they were not tolerated by the world. Losses would easily occur. Excluding the possibility of sheer luck, all seven of his children were likely not to live long.

Looking at Luo Fu, Xin Yun added, "It’s the same for your wife. Was the last incident not lesson enough? Can you guarantee that the place you’ve sent her to is truly safe? That no one will harbour ill intentions towards her? Should she be wronged and you’re not by her side, do you wish to experience that agony again?"

Hearing Xin Yun’s words, the little woman clung nervously to Luo Fu’s side, her pale hands gripping his arm tightly. Though she remained silent, her pursed lips and pale face revealed her fear.

At this point, Luo Fu finally fell apart. Yes... he couldn’t avoid these issues. Even if he were by her side at all times, how could a frail woman survive in this chaotic world?

Seeing Luo Fu on the verge of collapse, Xin Yun smiled and said, "The reason I want them to stay at my place is not to control you. Since you’ve joined us at Dragon Gate, I already consider you one of us, my most important partner. If that’s the case, why would I guard against you? If I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t have invited you at all!"

"You... You’re serious!" Hearing Xin Yun’s words, Luo Fu was finally moved.

Noticing Luo Fu’s anxious demeanor, Xin Yun laughed heartily, "You don’t need to worry too much, I’m not the person you imagine. Furthermore... if I were plotting something, do you think you could remain hidden?"

At Xin Yun’s words, Luo Fu was taken aback and just as he was about to speak, the quiet little woman raised her head and looked at Luo Fu gently, "Luo Fu, since he saved our son, we owe him a debt of gratitude. It must be repaid, so you don’t need to worry about anything. In light of such a favor, you cannot betray him!"

Upon hearing the little woman’s words, Luo Fu was momentarily stunned, then nodded. Generally speaking, once he decided on something, no one could change his mind—except for one person, Xia Youxuan, the beautiful and gentle girl, Luo Fu’s wife.

Xia Youxuan was a lady of high birth, knowledgeable and discerning. Therefore, having understood the whole story, she could never tolerate her man committing the act of ingratitude, and this was precisely what Luo Fu admired most about her.

People always appreciate things opposite to themselves. The rebellious Luo Fu, however, was fond of the morally upright Xia Youxuan, an anomaly that surprisingly had a significant influence on him.

After hearing his wife’s words, Luo Fu was slightly startled, then began to smile, murmuring, "Yes, as long as I have no intention to betray, there won’t be any problems. With the sect’s protection, they might even live better lives!"

"No, no, no..." Xin Yun couldn’t help but laugh and cry at Luo Fu’s words, protesting, "Why do you always assume the worst? This is a benefit for you, understand? Others may cry and scream to join, but I wouldn’t accept them. Now when it comes to you, you make it sound like a hardship!"

Saying this, Xin Yun shook his head, "Alright, I offer my goodwill, but you treat it as if I’m guarding against you. If that’s the case, do as you see fit."

Hearing Xin Yun’s words, Luo Fu was once again startled, and upon careful reflection, he realized that Xin Yun had indeed been considering his welfare all along. Everything was done to help him eliminate future worries. It was just that Luo Fu, defensive by nature, had misunderstood everything. If Xin Yun was truly being sincere, he might really have wronged him.
