Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 238 Both in this world and in that world!
"Do you want to leave the hall?"

Zhao Qi'an didn't waste any words and stated the purpose of his visit today directly.

When he said this, Zhao Wuwen's eyes lit up instantly.

But soon, her eyes dimmed again, and she smiled bitterly: "Foster father, look at me...how can I leave the hall?"

She still has some understanding of herself. She is the reincarnation of a real unlucky star and a star of misfortune.

This bad luck made it almost impossible for her to even leave the house.

In this charity hall, she is looked after by many masters and protected by her adoptive father, which is why she can live in such good health and safety until now.

But if I left the charity house and left the protection of my adoptive father, I would probably not even know how I died.

Zhao Qi'an knew her concerns and sighed softly, "You are different from others. You can't keep the last name Zhao forever. You have to leave here eventually."

This sentence made Zhao Wuwen look very disappointed. His little head drooped and his eyes became a little confused.

She...is reluctant to leave here.

But what her stepfather said was right. She did have her reasons for having to leave. It was just a matter of sooner or later.

Zhao Qi'an said: "Now I have found a good teacher for you. If you are willing, I will take you to be her disciple. With her help, I believe she will be able to suppress your special physique. In the future... she will be able to help you better than I can."

"I...I don't want to leave."

Zhao Wuwen mustered up his courage and said this.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head again like a child who had done something wrong, kicked the stones at her feet, and whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Fifth Brother said he would write to me, but I haven't received his letter yet..."

"And Sixth Brother...Sixth Brother needs someone to be with him. I have to take care of him."

"me……"

She racked her brains to think of a reason to stay in the charity house.

But in the end, Zhao Qian'an's words made her completely silent.

"You don't want me to get involved in your affairs and put me in danger?"

Zhao Wuwen wanted to deny it, but when he looked up and met Zhao Qian'an's serious gaze, he did not dare to lie in front of him for a moment.

She was indeed worried about this.

Zhao Qi'an patted her head and said softly, "Since I dare to take you in, I have already made preparations in my heart. I will clear away all the obstacles in front of you, so don't worry."

He smiled and said, "Don't worry. Now I'm just asking you to learn skills from the teacher. It's not that stage yet. Don't think too much."

"really?"

"Has your godfather ever lied to you?"

Zhao Wuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became much more relaxed: "Then I will follow my foster father's arrangements."

Zhao Qi'an gently touched her head, then looked towards the small courtyard beside him: "You just said that your sixth brother woke up?"

Zhao Wuwen shook his head: "I don't know, but people can enter Sixth Brother's yard. But I just called Sixth Brother a few times in the yard, and he didn't respond to me."

Zhao Qi'an looked towards the small courtyard next door again, his eyes becoming more serious.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhao Wuwen, "You stay here, I'll go in and take a look."

Zhao Wuwen asked with some concern: "Foster father, do you want me to ask Master Chu to come over?"

Zhao Qi'an shook his head: "No need, I will be fine."

He walked towards the courtyard gate, pushed it open and walked in.

……

The several adjacent courtyards in the backyard of Yangshengtang are all of the same style.

But the courtyard where Zhao Qi'an was now was completely different. Half of the courtyard looked like scorched earth after a prairie fire, while the vegetation on the other half was growing wildly.

On a tree by the courtyard wall, only half of the sapling has grown. This side is full of lush and vibrant leaves, while the other half is bare branches.

The entire courtyard is clearly divided by an invisible line.

After each step Zhao Qi'an took, he would pause for a long time before taking the next step, as if every step contained great danger.

But nothing happened until he arrived at the door of the small courtyard house.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door in front of him creaked open by itself.

Zhao Qi'an was slightly startled, but still stepped in.

Although it was noon outside, the house was pitch black. All the doors and windows were sealed with wooden boards, and molten iron was poured outside, so not even a little light could get in through the gaps.

Something moved in the darkness.

Then there was a "sizzling" sound, and a flame lit up in the room.

The flame fell on the candlestick and lit the candle, and the whole room became clearly visible.

Zhao Qi'an only saw a figure holding a candlestick with his back to him, and called softly, "Wang'er?"

It was only then that the man turned around and revealed his true face.

He was a young man who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was so thin that only a bag of dry bones remained. His face was pale as if he had not seen the sun for a long time. He had very thin lips and a straight nose. His whole face looked angular under the candlelight.

There was still some youthful childishness on his face, but his eyes were extremely deep, as if they had seen all the changes in the world.

He looked at Zhao Qian'an for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he seemed to remember who was standing in front of him. He placed the candlestick on the table beside him and bowed deeply to Zhao Qi'an: "Godfather, it's been a long time since we last met. You haven't aged at all."

Zhao Qi'an looked at his sixth adopted son Zhao Wang who was kneeling before him. After a long moment, he slowly asked, "The last time we met was three years ago."

"Has it only been three years?"

Zhao Wang's eyes flashed with confusion, and he murmured, "Time is messed up over there again. As far as I can remember, the last time I met my foster father was eighty-seven years ago."

Zhao Qi'an's expression gradually became solemn, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, Zhao Wang’s panel quickly appeared in front of him.

【Name: Zhao Wang】

[Bone age: 16 years]

[Soul Age: 138 Years]

[Life: Visitor from another world (gold), Traveling between two worlds (gold), Pain tolerance (purple), Long-term illness makes a doctor (blue), Tenacious spirit (blue), Optimistic attitude (white), Unacceptable by heaven (black)...]

【Loyalty: 78】

[Qualification: B-low (can be expanded to view attributes such as root bone, comprehension, and fortune)]

【Cultivation: Three Corpses Realm】

[Do you want to lend him your life? After lending him your life, you will have the opportunity to randomly draw one of his life entries]

When Zhao Qi'an saw Zhao Wang's "soul age", he knew that what he said was not false.

Among all Zhao Qi'an's adopted children, the most special one is probably his sixth adopted son, Zhao Wang.

In another unknown world, he has another life, a world that is completely different from this world and full of bizarre things.

He is both in this world and in that world!
