67: Chapter 67 Old Master Luo 67: Chapter 67 Old Master Luo A sturdy figure hurried in from outside with a clangorous stride.
Before Luo Qingtong could even stand up, she was forcefully embraced by that towering and formidable figure!
“Qingtong!
My Qingtong, grandpa’s Qingtong!”
Upon receiving news of Luo Qingtong’s return, Old Master Luo rushed back to the Luo Family without even taking off his blood-stained armor.
All this time, he had been searching everywhere for Luo Qingtong’s whereabouts.
The Nine Witch Mountain Range was massive, and with the emergence of the Immortal Sect’s relics, even more people flocked there, making the search tremendously difficult!
Corpses were everywhere, and Old Master Luo spent each day oscillating between the anxiety of finding bodies and the fear of finding none.
Discovering corpses, he was afraid of encountering the death of his most cherished granddaughter.
Not finding corpses, he feared that Luo Qingtong might have perished without even a whole body left, her bones lost to the wilderness!
His days were thus steeped in continuous agony.
Now holding Luo Qingtong in his arms, feeling her warm body temperature within his embrace, his eyes suddenly brimmed with tears, streaking down the face of the man with eyes as fierce as a tiger’s.
“Qingtong!
I’m so sorry!
It’s grandpa’s fault!
Grandpa shouldn’t have left you alone at home!”
If he had been at home, Qingtong would never have gone to Jiuyu Mountain to attempt a breakthrough alone!
If he had been there, he would have stopped her for sure!
Thank goodness she was unharmed; otherwise, he would never have forgiven himself for the rest of his life!
Luo Qingtong, held tightly by Old Master Luo, couldn’t quite identify her feelings.
She could have actually avoided Old Master Luo’s embrace just now.
But for some reason, looking at the old man with his tearful eyes and bloodshot redness, she suddenly couldn’t move her feet.
“Grandpa,” Luo Qingtong called out softly, feeling the old man’s body shaking even more violently.
Her shoulder’s robe was continuously being soaked, evidencing Old Master Luo’s overwhelming grief and agitation!
Luo Qingtong remembered that in the original host’s memory, Old Master Luo was always very strict and solemn.
The original host was even somewhat afraid of Old Master Luo, feeling that he was too austere.
She preferred spending time with Luo Xinning and the Second Madam because they were kind to her!
Now, it seemed, who was truly good to her?
Luo Xinning and the Second Madam were kind to her, but after her death, they couldn’t wait to seize her identity and status.
Meanwhile, Old Master Luo, whom the original host perceived as stern and somewhat fierce, was searching for her everywhere, over hills and dales!
Wasn’t it dangerous in Jiuyu Mountain?
Old Master Luo, just a Marquis from a low-class small country, going up against the powerful from potent nations—provoking them could easily put him in jeopardy.
In this family, who was truly good to her, the original host was really blind!
“Grandpa, don’t cry, I’m fine.
Look, have I not returned safely?”
Luo Qingtong softened her voice.
In her previous life, she had no family at all.
She was abandoned at birth because of her innate pair of Blood Eyes, which were too frightening.
Luo Qingtong was raised by a beggar who scavenged for trash.
Only that beggar was too unfortunate; just as Luo Qingtong finally understood the power of her Blood Eyes and could have improved their lives, he died of a severe illness due to years of cold and hunger.
From then on, Luo Qingtong was alone.
She was unorthodox, bewitching, unrestrained, and did as she pleased!
Because in that world, there was no longer anyone worth her care!
After Luo Qingtong became famous, her biological parents once came looking for her, wanting to acknowledge her!
Too bad, she couldn’t have cared less!
Thinking back to that unpleasant experience, Luo Qingtong’s expression suddenly turned cold, then warmed up again as she was pulled back to reality by the old man holding her, sobbing intensely.
“Alright, grandpa, I’m really fine.
When did you become so childish?” said Luo Qingtong with a helpless look on her face, yet feeling slightly moved inside.
Original host, you didn’t cherish this affection, so give it to me then!
Your grandfather, I’ll take him!
