Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 518

Chapter 518: 518

Lan could not help but look at Xue Wei during their travel down the streets of the busy town .

He had initially not intended to tell him about the situation with his family . It was very confusing and chaotic, and while he knew the facts, it was impossible to understand the emotions behind everyone’s actions .

Also, this did not actually concern him . He had no hand in what had happened, and had never involved himself before he came across Xue Wei and realized that he was a Rulebreaker .

However, they were now in the Ghost Realm . While his parents would be unable to remember the time they had spent in the world of the living, they were still his parents, and since this young man was willing to help him look for Li Zhiqing, he felt that there was nothing wrong with expanding their search, and try to locate his parents as well .

While he was unable to regain the loss he had experienced in his childhood, perhaps it would make him feel better to see the two of them at least, should they still exist in this Ghost Realm .

Xue Wei had been shocked upon hearing what Lan had told him . He had initially thought that his parents would be something he would forever miss, but never get to see, and when Lan offered that they also searched for them, he felt a mixture of emotions .

He had always accepted the fact that his mother and father were gone . He had lost his memories of his biological parents for a long time due to the interference of Xiao Lei, but when he remembered them, he was already a young man .

While he would lie if he said that he had never longed for family affection, he was not aware of how much this emotion mattered to him . He was of a mixed breed . He was the Holy Son of the Sovereign Beasts . But all of this was because of his parents .

When he was a small child, his biggest wish had been to become a hero who could bring humanity victory in the war, but reality had proven that the humans in the Chang’an Continent did not need him .

They had chased him, tried to kill him every time they had the chance, and even the beasts had schemed against him . He was a being with no place to belong, no place to call home .

Knowing that he might be able to get a family again, his heart was feeling excitement, but also slight worry as to whether or not they would be able to ever become a family again .

His mother did not know him . She was not familiar with him at all, as she had died upon giving birth to him . His father had known him for ten years, but he had been an innocent and optimistic child back then . The world had changed his personality and his view of the world .

Sighing, he took some time to calm his mind, and while he was tangled with the thoughts of what to decide upon, he suddenly remembered that, although he did not have his family by his side, he had so many companions who had been by his side for so long . Naturally, they were equal to family now .

Thinking about them, Xue Wei suddenly felt calm and collected once more .

He would not mind if he managed to get in contact with his parents in this world, but there was someone else whom he hoped that they could search for .

"Lan," Xue Wei called out, and Lan lifted his head and looked at the unusually solemn expression on the young man’s face .

"I had a friend once . He sacrificed his life to ensure that I could live on . His name was Tie Haolong, and if I were to search for someone within this Ghost Realm, I do think that I want to know what happened to him . "

The reason that Xue Wei made this decision was not because he was ignoring his parents’ situation, nor was it because he was uncaring about those who had brought him into this world .

The reason he decided to search for Tie Haolong was due to the reason why Tie Haolong had died .

Xue Wei’s parents had been aware of the consequences when they had gotten together . They knew that it was near impossible to give birth to a mixed-race child, but they had gone ahead with it anyway, fully recognizing that it would mean the death of one of them .

Xue Wei respected their decision and was eternally grateful for the two of them to bring him to life, but he was also aware that they had not died with grievances as this was a conscious choice they had made .

Tie Haolong, on the other hand, had a good life . He had befriended Xue Wei indeed, but it was due to Xue Wei’s identity that his life had come to an abrupt end .

If he had not met Xue Wei, he was very likely to be still alive, and for this, Xue Wei felt guilty .

He had never wanted anyone whom he held dear to risk their lives for his sake, but this young man was someone whom he owed so much, and thus he felt a need to ensure that he was not suffering after such a great sacrifice .

Lan knew of this sacrifice . He had followed Xue Wei’s growth for a long time, and he understood that this loss had a significant influence on him .

"I will help you," he said with a nod of his head . Xue Wei had entered the Ghost Realm for the sake of helping him, so it was only natural that he returned the favor .
