In the city of Jiang City in July, the sun was blazing like fire.
In the bustling crowd, a thin young man was silently staring at this familiar yet strange city.
"It's been 15 years. I'm finally back. My seven sisters, are you all right?"
The young man murmured.
His name was Lu Yun. He was an orphan who grew up in an welfare home. He had seven sisters who were not related by blood. They treated him as their closest kin.
When they were little, their favorite game was playing a game with Lu Yun. They promised that they would marry Lu Yun together when they grew up.
At that time, Lu Yun was only five years old. He said in a childish voice, "We are not children of three or four years old. We have to keep our word."
So the sisters made a bet with him, and whoever went back on his word would be a puppy.
In this way, Little Lu Yun looked forward to growing up every day until a big fire completely destroyed his life.
In that big fire, the sisters could have run out, but in order to go back to find him, they were also trapped in the sea of fire.
Little Lu Yun was so frightened that he burst into tears.
But even in such a situation, Big Sister still held him in her arms and comforted him not to be afraid.
The fire was burning.
The eight children snuggled up tightly and soon passed out due to the smoke.
When Little Lu Yun opened his eyes again, he was still in the sea of fire, but the difference was that he did not know when an old Taoist appeared in front of him.
The old Taoist stood on the burning fire, and his clothes were intact.
Little Lu Yun was stunned, thinking that he was hallucinating. Until the old Taoist opened his mouth and said, "I can save your sisters, but the premise is that you have to acknowledge me as your master."
This sentence was like a life-saving straw. Little Lu Yun agreed without thinking.
At that time, he had not realized that his life would be completely rewritten.
After leaving the welfare home, the old Taoist brought Lu Yun to a Taoist temple to teach him medical skills, martial arts, and spirit arts. He even allowed him to practice a nameless magic skill.
He stayed here for ten years.
At the age of 15, Lu Yun thought that he could finally return to Jiang City. Unexpectedly, the old Taoist sent him to the border battlefield again.
He stayed there for another five years.
After five years of battle and bloody battles, an organization called 'Tian's Ao' had risen to power.
The 36 stars were all Godly Generals who were in charge of the four regions. From then on, no one in the Dragon Kingdom dared to offend them.
Their king, the Divine Emperor Yuntian, had quietly returned to his childhood memory—Jiang City.
...
Lu Yun recalled the past as if he were dreaming.
It was true.
If it hadn't been for the fact that it had happened to him, he would have felt that it was ridiculous to say such things from any person.
Sunshine erupting from the welfare home.
He was still there.
However, Lu Yun's feelings were extremely complicated.
The big fire 15 years ago had caused the welfare home to suffer serious financial consequences. The parents and their beloved people had taken the initiative to donate and rebuild the welfare home.
The previous blue brick houses had become the current small high-rise buildings. All kinds of facilities were much better than before, but after all, they were no longer the places that Lu Yun was familiar with.
However, when Lu Yun saw the children's smiling faces, the strangeness in his heart instantly disappeared.
He seemed to have seen himself and his sister when they were children.
It turned out that nothing had changed, and the welfare home was still a beautiful place.
Lu Yun found the staff of the welfare home and explained his purpose.
Soon, a woman wearing old-flowered glasses came to Lu Yun and looked at him in confusion.
"I'm the director of Sunshine Creation Company. Who are you looking for?"
"Are you the director?"
Lu Yun was stunned.
In his memory, the dean's surname was Wu, and he was a kind old man. He was definitely not the woman in front of him.
The old woman nodded and said, "I have been the director for more than a decade. Didn't you come to find me?"
"I'm looking for Grandpa Wu."
"It turns out that he is looking for the old executive. He has retired for a long time!"
Hearing that Lu Yun was here for the old dean, the woman dispelled her doubts about him and became friendly.
However, Lu Yun frowned.
"Grandpa Wu actually retired?"
And according to the woman's words, it seemed that Grandpa Wu had resigned from the position of Director more than a decade ago.
Could it be because of that big fire?
Lu Yun hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, do you have Grandpa Wu's address?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Wait a moment. I'll write down the address for you."
The woman turned and entered the room. After a while, she took out a note with an address and handed it to Lu Yun.
"Thank you!"
Holding the address given by the woman, Lu Yun came to a civilian room.
They saw an old man with gray hair bending over and cleaning the courtyard. Lu Yun recognized it at a glance. It was Grandpa Wu.
They hadn't seen each other for 15 years, but Grandpa Wu had aged so much.
Lu Yun's heart ached and he quickened his footsteps. However, what happened next caused the anger in his heart to gush out in an instant.
Just as Grandpa Wu was cleaning, a young man in a flowery shirt suddenly pushed him hard and scolded,
"Old thing, I know those women will send you money every month. Where's the money? Where's the money?"
In broad daylight, robbing!
Lu Yun was furious. He rushed over, grabbed the collar of the young man in a flowery shirt, and shouted, "You even robbed the old man of his money. Are you still a human being? You beast!"
"Cough cough..."
Obviously, the young man in the flowery shirt did not expect that someone would suddenly rush over. A trace of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly pretended to be calm.
"You... let me go. This is my family affair... What does it have to do with you?"
" Family affairs?"
This time, it was Lu Yun's turn to be confused. He turned to look at Grandpa Wu.
Grandpa Wu looked sad and sighed. "Young man, he is indeed not a robber. His name is Wang Gang, and he was adopted by me."
"Wang Gang?"
Wang Gang!
Lu Yun stared at the young man in the flowery shirt in front of him for a while, and finally recognized him.
No wonder there was such a sense of familiarity. It turned out to be Wang Gang, who often bullied her when she was a child and was beaten by his sisters.
Why was he adopted by Grandpa Wu?
Lu Yun was momentarily absent-minded.
Wang Gang took the opportunity to break free from his hands and coughed violently. It took him a long time to catch his breath.
"Bastard, do you want me to meddle in your business? If you know this is my family matter, get out of here!"
Wang Gang glared at Lu Yun fiercely, and then roared at Wu Wende,
"Old thing, since you adopted me, you should give me good food, clothes, and play. You can't give me the best. Why did you adopt me?"
"What about the money that those women gave you? Take it out! Why are you hiding it? Do you want to take it into the coffin to spend?"
"I think you won't be able to live for many years. In the future, you still have to rely on me to send you to the end. If you don't give me this money, who will you use it for? You're such a brainless old thing!"
Wang Gang went too far.
Wu Wenjie's body trembled violently, but he just lowered his head silently and endured Wang Gang's scolding.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand and slapped it.
Pa!
"This slap, I'll slap you in the face!"
Pa!
"This slap, I will repay your kindness with revenge. It's in vain for the people of the world!"
Pa!
"This slap, I hit you so hard that you have no eyes and don't know the real dragon!"
