Chapter 955 - 954: The Storm Raised by the Couple
After Elder Jing’s burial, Jing Changle had just over two thousand yuan left. The funeral this time was one of the most lavish in the surrounding ten villages. Everyone guessed that the money was saved by Elder Jing himself, and no one suspected Jing Changle.People even praised Jing Changle, saying that he must have used all of Elder Jing’s savings to organize such a grand funeral.
They thought it was well deserved considering Elder Jing raised him, much better than that ungrateful child, and spending it on the funeral was more comforting than giving it to that ungrateful child.
Because of Luo Yirui, the two tried to walk through less crowded areas. However, with Jing Changle by his side, Luo Yirui had cover. After all, they were searching for one child earlier, and now there were two.
Although Jing Changle was born and raised here, he actually didn’t know which region this belonged to, only the name of their village and the nearby larger village.
Luo Yirui decided that while trying to contact his family, he also needed to figure out where he was. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find the place even if he managed to find them, and he would be lost.
But when thinking of his father, Luo Yirui knew that even if he didn’t know where he was, his father would find him through this one phone call.
Thinking of his parents having such great abilities, Luo Yirui felt very small and immature. He hoped that he could become as strong as them.
While taking a rest, Jing Changle would play with the black bead. It indeed looked like a marble, black and ugly. If Elder Jing hadn’t mentioned it, Jing Changle might have forgotten about this bead.
Thinking it wasn’t anything significant, it turned out to be something his mother left for him.
Jing Changle used to wonder why his parents abandoned him. Now he finally understood; it wasn’t that his mother didn’t want him, but that she had died. As for his father, he still knew nothing.
Luo Yirui looked at the bead, feeling something was strange about it, but he couldn’t pinpoint what.
"Let me see," Luo Yirui said, taking the bead from Jing Changle’s hand.
He examined it carefully, and then looked at it in the sunlight, tilting his head with a frown, "This is not a marble."
Jing Changle rolled his eyes, "Of course it’s not a marble."
Luo Yirui knew Jing Changle didn’t understand what he meant, but he couldn’t express it clearly, so he kept silent.
Jing Changle also didn’t know what this thing was; round and rollable, it looked like glass but wasn’t, metal perhaps? No, not that either.
He guessed it wasn’t anything particularly useful, maybe a keepsake for recognizing family, so he kept it carefully.
He initially thought if his family recognized him, would he go back? But then considering that his mother had to give birth to him alone in a remote countryside, she must have faced a drastic change. If it was because of the family, he wouldn’t return for his mother’s sake.
If not, then why did no one look for his mother all these years?
Thinking this way, his feeling for this so-called home faded. If it was a den of wolves, he would be better off alone.
Besides, with Elder Jing’s words, he also wanted to be with Luo Yirui. He had seen Luo Yirui’s parents; they were incredibly skilled uncle and aunt.
Besides, the aunt invited him to study with Luo Yirui, and he wanted to learn such incredible skills, so he planned to follow Luo Yirui to his home first.
"Let’s be cautious about entering larger villages, especially those with good communication setups. I’ve heard from uncles who work outside that the police have their own system that connects online. As soon as someone is wanted, everywhere will know!" Jing Changle said.
Luo Yirui frowned; he had heard about it too. Even if his father was in Beijing, he could find someone no matter where they were, although the police were far from being as capable as his dad. They probably had their methods to pursue criminals.
That being said, Luo Yirui suspected it wasn’t that severe. He knew clearly that he was just a child. If he became a wanted person, it might attract attention from all sides, but those villains, being so secretive, definitely didn’t want to draw attention.
With that in mind, Luo Yirui suddenly thought of a plan. Since those people didn’t dare make a big commotion or truly put out a wanted notice for him, he would find a way to completely expose himself to everyone. This way, even if they wanted to catch him, they would have to think it over.
Luo Yirui’s eyes lit up, feeling it was a great idea, not only letting those people hesitate but allowing his parents to see him.
But how to fully expose himself to the world?
He shared this idea with Jing Changle, who thought for a moment and said, "It’s very risky, even if we do it, it must be fast, expose yourself all at once, so everyone knows you, or else you’ll be in big trouble."
Luo Yirui understood that point, knowing they wouldn’t miss any chance if given.
It was evident from their relentless pursuit.
Sigh, nobody knew what Uncle Yuan’s situation was.
He was really worried, with so many bad guys; how could Uncle Yuan handle them all...
Thinking about this made him anxious, wondering if his mom found out Uncle Yuan’s whereabouts yet.
Little did he know, his mom and dad were already close to losing their minds with anxiety.
After learning of his and Wei Zhongyuan’s disappearance, Beisitian and Luo Xudong immediately rushed to the scene of the incident. However, all traces were deliberately erased, and given the time had passed, even Luo Xudong had difficulty discovering anything.
With their son missing, Beisitian was beside herself with worry, mobilizing everyone to search for Luo Yirui’s whereabouts. Both the Wei Family and Qin Family, along with Heavenly Blessings from various places, put all available resources into action.
The loss of Qingyu’s young master didn’t only alert people within Qingyu. The Shi Family, hearing the news, immediately mobilized everyone, using all available networks.
Not just the Shi Family, previous collaborators with Beisitian like the Ancient Wood School and some smaller families and sects, all initiated mobilization to search for Luo Yirui.
Naturally, there were those trying to curry favor and those eager to connect with Qingyu, all seizing this opportunity.
Unexpectedly, even the Yunquan School from the south initiated a search, as the location where Luo Yirui went missing, although north of the Yangtze River, was close to the southern part.
The Mystic Doctor Association also issued a significant missing person task, a self-initiated task. Besides them, a special team from Hawkeye was dispatched to search.
The entire Mystic Medical World was shaken. Previously, Qingyu was seen as a rapidly rising major sect, with Beisitian being an extraordinarily powerful yet young head. But perhaps due to their low-key nature, most perceived Qingyu as resembling an upstart.
This time, Qingyu astonished everyone.
