Just a Passer

Eastern martial conference is a competition which will be held in every three years by the eight immortal sect in eastern region and in that competition cultivators with cultivation base under nascent soul realm can participate. And the next great eastern martial conference will be held after two years as the last eastern martial conference was held one year back.

"Senior why do you say so." Xiu Luo asked because what does unknown item have to do with the eastern martial conference. 

"Actually the sect leaders of eight immortal sects decided to keep the unknown item as a reward in the eastern martial conference." Patriarch Zhu said.

"Then senior do you know after two years where will be the eastern martial conference will be held." Xiu Luo asked hastily.

"Well it hasn't been decided so I can't say for sure but before the competition you will be able to know it so don't be in a hurry." Patriarch Zhu said seeing Xiu Luo in a hurry.

"Thank you for guidance senior." Xiu Luo said thanks for the advice.

"Little friend, please don't take offence but I want to know whether you are affliated now with any sect or no ." Patriarch Zhu asked again politely because the latter said he doesn't want to talk about himself. So he asked in polite way.

"No senior now I am just a loose cultivator." Xiu Luo replied with poliite speech.

'Now' the patriarch thought may be Xiu Luo doesn't have eyesight so that's why he was expelled from the sect and yes he is half correct.

"How about joining our Zhu clan." Patriarch Zhu said as he look at his baby daughter and the latter is looking at Xiu Luo with expectations.

He could guess that his baby daughter has taken a liking to Xiu Luo so that's why he asked about his eyes and other things. And he also somewhat like this fellow except his shamelessness because s Xiu Luo is decicive, and has a helping nature and also he had saved his baby daughter and other ladies so it would be good to have a good son-in-law.

"Senior sorry for the offense, junior just want to roam outside." Xiu Luo said apologising as he bowed. Hearing this Zhu Jia get up and went away from the conversation.

And the atmosphere became silent and then Patriarch Zhu broke the silent atmosphere.

"How about marriage with Jia'er." Then Patriarch Zhu asked. Hearing this Zhu Jia who was going out stopped her movement and hid behind the pillar and her beautiful face had crimson shade with a silly expression on her beautiful face.

"Senior I am sorry." Xiu Luo got up and politely rejected.

"May I know reason." Patriarch Zhu asked Xiu Luo back because he thought that the latter will agree but he didn't expect that Xiu Luo would reject his beautiful daughter.

"Senior, junior is just a waste and Miss Jia is talented and beautiful, so I think I am not suitable for Miss Jia." Xiu Luo replied as he gets up from the seat and apologised to Patriarch Zhu as he rejected the offer.

Hearing this Zhu Jia's eyes became moist and tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Is this the reason... then I am disappointed, my daughter liked you because of your nature and I don't think she doesn't care about your eyes." Patriarch Zhu said and his voice became hoarse as he could see behind the pillar that his baby daughter is crying. 

"Junior love someone else." Hearing what Patriarch Zhu said Xiu Luo replied honestly. Xiu Luo had only loved Li Ningxue till now, may be they were separated and she doesn't love him but he still had feelings for her and he doesn't want to be in a relationship.

".....I see." Patriarch Zhu believed what the latter said as he is watching Xiu Luo closely. 

"Then when you are leaving." Patriarch Zhu asked because it would be good if Xiu Luo go away early so that his baby daughter forget about him. 

"Senior I will leave after talking with those ladies." Xiu Luo understood Patriarch Zhu intentions and politely bowed and walked away from the hall.

After Xiu Luo went away Zhu Jia came out from behind the pillar and walked in the direction of where Xiu Luo went.

"Haa..." Patriarch Zhu sighed as he saw his baby daughter running towards Xiu Luo. Now he look like a old man not a majestic Patriarch Zhu.

....

Xiu Luo is walking towards the guest rooms wwhere the ladies stayed.

"You are going without meeting me." Zhu Jia came to Xiu Luo and held his one arm tightly so that Xiu Luo doesn't shook her off.

"Well I came here to get some material for refining and I got it so I am going now." Xiu Luo replied awkwardly because Miss Jia is holding his arm tightly.

"Who is she?" Miss Jia asked biting her lips. 

"..." Xiu Luo stayed silent, he knows that the latter had listened to their conversation.

"Your golden eyes looks beautiful even without lustrous." Zhu Jia said as both are walking away, hearing this Xiu Luo stayed silent because he doesn't know as what to reply.

"When a girl compliment you should atleast say thankyou." Zhu Jia said as she peeked a glance at Xiu Luo.

"Thanks." Xiu Luo replied in low tone.

"You go and meet them I will stay here." Zhu Jia said as both came near the guest rooms.

Xiu Luo went silently without saying anything and came inside the garden. The garden looks beautiful as it have beautiful landscape. 

Seeing Xiu Luo came all the ladies hurried and came in front of Xiu Luo. "Savior" the ladies were about to kneel but Xiu Luo stop them by saying. "You don't have to kneel down everytime you see me and have you decided what you are going to do." Xiu Luo said in a deep voice and asked the ladies.

"Saviour we have decide to stay in the Zhu clan and work here." Lu Hua came forward and said and the other ladies also nodded.

"Alright I will respect your decision and I have talked with the patriarch Zhu and he told you could stay." Xiu Luo said and ladies became excited because they had decided but don't know how to say to the Zhu clan leader.

"Thankyou Saviour. " all the ladies expressed their gratitude and they wanted to kneel again but was stopped by Xiu Luo. "You don't have to thank, if you really want to thank then thanks Patriarch Zhu even if I didn't say he would have made the same decision, so try to repay his kindness with doing good deeds." Xiu Luo said.

"Yes" All the ladies replied in a sync.

"Remember this 'the past isn't the important part, the future is all that matters so think about the future and walk forward." Xiu Luo said to the girls and all the ladies became silent hearing what Xiu Luo Xiu Luo just said in their own thoughts.

"Alright, goodbye." Xiu Luo said and turned back to leave and the ladies woke up from their thoughts.

"Saviour we don't know your name." Lu Hua shouted as she asked.

"Xiu Luo." Xiu Luo replied without turning back. 

"Master Xiu Luo will we meet again." Lu Hua asked and her eyes became moist. But Xiu Luo didn't reply but just walked away and came out of the garden where Zhu Jia is waiting.

"You didn't replied her last question." Zhu Jia said to Xiu Luo as she heard the conversation between them.

"I am also connected to their past so its better for them if they forgot about me, then only they will flourish." Xiu Luo respond to Miss Jia calmly.

"No you just want everyone to forget about you." Zhu Jia denied what Xiu Luo said and came near to Xiu Luo.

"Miss Jia I will leave now." Xiu Luo said as he took steps back sensing Zhu Jia is coming closer to him. Seeing this Zhu Jia bit her lips and stopped her steps.

"Goodbye." Xiu Luo said turning back and walked away.

"May we meet again." Like Lu Hua, Zhu Jia also asked the same question with mist in her eyes. The only difference is Lu Hua thought of Xiu Luo as saviour but Zhu Jia like the latter.

And this time too Xiu Luo didn't reply as he walked away. Not getting any answer tears rolled down from Miss Jia eyes. And a shadow came behind Miss Jia and that is none other than her father, the Patriarch Zhu.

"He was just a passer by." Patriarch Zhu said as he patted his daughter with parental love. Then Miss Jia went back towards her room.

"Haa..." Patriarch Zhu sighed seeing his baby daughter because in this matter he could not do anything.
