Chapter 4 - The Boy Who Returned Over the next few days, Blue wandered around Chengdu aimlessly. Sa Gwan was never too far away. One night Blue found himself back at the willow tree. "What am I supposed to do now?" He shouted into the void. He sat in the lotus position. He tried to circulate his qi. [Denied] He tried again. [Denied] Again. [Denied] "LET ME FUCKING FEEL IT! FUUUUUUCK." The scream that followed was guttural. Birds flew from the tree, critters scattered away into the dark. Two hundred meters away, in the tree line Yeol, Cheng and Sa Gwan crouched. "This proves it...does it not?" Cheng asked. Sa Gwan nodded. "First. Why don't you ever speak Sa Gwan." Yeol looked at him. He shrugged his shoulders and disappeared into the night. Yeol sighed. Cheng looked at him. "We found no trace of a second family. That boy seemingly came out of nowhere. He used your families qi. Then faltered in front of your niece." "Which makes this all the more confusing." Yeol looked at Blue. "I suppose 20 years ago, if you said you saw a gate and monsters, you'd be considered a madman." "Which is exactly why, reincarnation isn't so far fetched. Shaolin already lives and dies by it. So." Cheng said. "I still don't believe it. There has to be a real explanation." Yeol replied. "Then we watch him for a few more days. If Gyeom can't find anything further, then we approach the boy." Yeol nodded in agreement and the two left Blue broken down, under the willow tree. The next few days went by like the last. Every night Blue ended up under the same tree, the same lot Yoryeon would train him in. Still trying to circulate his qi. Denied every time. The next night was different. Blue made his way to a hill just south of the willow tree. The hill was where his mother and father lay, next to them was a headstone for Yoryeon. Wu Cheng and Yeol hid in a tree not far away. They both looked at each other as if a divine revelation hit them at the same time. Blue looked at the headstones. Tang Jinho - Father and Son of Tang Tang Mira -Mother and Wife of Jinho Tang Yoryeon - Patriarch and Grandfather Blue knelt down and placed a hand on the gravestones. "I miss you guys. Im so lost. I lost you, now ive lost the one thing that kept me close to you. Please, guide me." Tears started streaming down Blue's face. Then two figures stepped beside him, knelt and bowed toward the gravestones. Blue looked to his left and his right. "Wu Cheng? What are you doing here?" Blue wiped his nose. "And who is this?" Blue looked to the man to his left. The figure dropped his hood. "Jiung?" "U...Uncle Yeol? Is that really you?" Blue exclaimed. Yeol looked over at Cheng. "You were right, old friend." "Oh, now I'm old friend, not old bastard." Yeol leaned in and embraced Blue. "How is this possible?" Yeol released Blue. "Really, how are you... back?" I... I don't know how. But I was reincarnated." Blue said. "Oh the monks are going to love to hear this." Cheng giggled. "Where have you been then? Why didnt you come find us? Why wait 15 years?" Yeol now was curious. "I couldn't, I was in another world entirely. I only just came back, through the golden gate." "Wait..." Cheng interrupted. "...A golden gate you mean, you have a system?" "I do." Yeol grabbed blue and shook him. "Then how the hell did you lose to that demonic brat?" "My system... it... sealed my qi. I cant circulate it, access it." Yeol and Cheng exchanged looks. "That explains the other night then." Cheng said softly. "The other night? You mean you've been watching me this entire time?" "We have. At first we thought you may have been a child from an extramarital affair Jinho had." Yeol said calmly. "What the hell? Why would you ever think my father would do that. He loved my mother and you know that!" "Put yourself in my shoes Jiung... Blue? What do I call you?" He asked. "Blue is fine uncle." "Imagine if some wanderer showed up using the Tang family qi. With no ties to the tang family. So yes we followed you, until Cheng t
