Chapter 99

Luo Ru entered the room and Rex followed behind

When Rex entered the room he saw a middle aged man sitting on a wooden chair, the man was arranging the papers on the table in front of him when he saw Luo Ru he arranged the papers and placed them on the side

"Father is good" Luo Ru bowed and greeted him but Rex did not bowed

The man nodded than looked at Rex with doubtful eyes

"He is our sect elder, Elder Rex" Luo Ru explained

Hearing Luo Ru's reply the man looked a little relaxed

But his actions alerted Rex

'This man..what does that reaction mean Luo Ru and i look like we are almost of the same age so the first thought he could had was we have a relation or close friends and it looks like he was bothered by it

But when Luo Ru said i am elder he got relaxed… did he arranged little Ru's marriage or something' (Rex)

[You are just thinking too much….. if he did that how could Luo Ru didn't knew that]

'Hmm… i hope you are right but just to be sure keep analyzing all his facial expression and body language tell me if you think he is lying' (Rex)

[Understood]

'Appraisal: name and cultivation base' (Rex)

[Name: Luo Ba

Cultivation base: Soul Strengthening 6th stage]

"I have seen elder" Luo Ba greeted

Rex just nodded a little nothing else he did not had a good image of Luo Ba

"Father is there anything important i was going to see the grandfather" Luo Ru said

She was a little impatient to go to her grandfather even Rex could see that she was really close to her grandfather rather than her father

"This.. father is not in the condition to see you it is also the reason i was going to call you back from the sect" Luo Ba said solemnly

"Huh.. what do you mean father" Luo Ru asked anxiously

"The activity of black mountain bandits were decreasing day by day and recently they attacked a village near our town

Father was very angry because of that and headed out to stop them but later he came back with serious injuries i asked many physician to cure father but they weren't even able to do that fortunately an Alchemist from Puppet Sect visited town

On my request he had a look at father he said that only a vitality potion have a chance to cure father i asked him to make one he agreed but he said he did not wanted money but..." after saying that Luo Ba stopped and looked at Rex then at Luo Ru and hesitated

'There is something wrong i have a bad feeling' (Rex)

'Fast Clock' (Rex)

Suddenly Rex's thinking and analyzing speed increased by several folds, Rex often used this skill to get used to its after effects so that it won't affect him when it was used in a real battle

"Father why did you stop what did he asked for" Luo Ru asked anxiously

"Little girl do you still did not understand you are already sold by your father" Rex said in a cold tone

"Rex don't Joke around like that its a serious matter" Luo Ru shouted at Rex

Rex didn't look at her and continued

"Am i wrong?" Rex looked at Luo Ba

"No its not like that… he did ask for Luo Ru but i did not agreed i even sent a message to your elder sister in Snow Moon Sect to ask for help from her sect she said she will come here with her teacher to negotiate with the Alchemist they are supposed to come here today" Luo Ba hurriedly said

"Lie.. you just lied right now.. you said he asked for Luo Ru… hmmm or maybe he asked for one of your daughters… looking at your face it looks like i am right

And from what you said just now it looks like you already considered to give away Luo Ru as for giving away your other daughter you never even considered it.. is it because of innate talent…hmm. no its not but then what

And you said that they are supposed to come here today so what if they don't come like in current situation.. you wanted to sacrifice my girl for a useless potion no wonder you said you were going to call back Luo Ru from sect for this matter" Rex said as his tone continued to get colder

When Luo Ru on the side heard all these words she froze on the spot, her whole world crumbled in a moment she felt he heart breaking just like glass, tears began to fall from her eyes

She only came to meet her family when did she thought that things will turn out like this

"Are you really her father… don't you know what happens to a woman under an alchemist its worst than being in a brothel" Rex shouted

"Fa..ther… if..it…can .save.. gra.nd.fathe.r.. th.an …i" Luo Ru said as she tried to wipe the tears on her face but the tear did not stop coming

Rex wanted to scold Luo Ba more or even hit him but when he saw the pitiful condition of Luo Ru his heart shook he felt like his heart was pierced with countless needles and his anger disappeared in an instant he then walked near her

'Is it sympathy or did i really fell for her' (Rex)

For a while Rex did not know what to do or say anymore after all he never encountered a situation like that

In the end he gently placed his hand on her head then spoke

"Little girl are you ignoring my existence, i am here for you everything will be alright" Rex said as he put her head on his shoulder

Luo Ru did not said anything and kept crying with her face against his shoulder

[Shouldn't you stop her from crying its better to send her to a sleep state by using Mind Arts it will help her relax]

'No its better if she let it all out at once if she suppressed her feeling in her heart then it will become a long time problem for her its better to finish it all at once, my Little Ru is strong i believe she can recover from it soon enough as for that fukkking alchemist add it on top of my torture list' (Rex)
