A Word of Spell

When the words left Gu Jun, the weight on his heart instantly lightened. The ray of dawn fell on his body, and it gave him a semblance of warmth. But it was intensely quiet on Elder Tong's end… This made Gu Jun miss the drunkard.

After a long silence, Elder Tong finally responded in a hoarse voice, "That woman… is an extremely dangerous character. You must have seen the wounds I suffered back then. She delivered those blows. Not only that, she also stabbed me…"

The memory of Gu Jun's mother appeared in his mind. She was a soft and gentle woman; she would cook delicious food for him and play with him. But at the same time, the fanatical fervor in his mother's eyes when he was drawing those pictures of the foreign language branded itself in his mind.

He interrupted his confusing thoughts by saying, "Elder Tong, as you must know, I do not know my parents that well. In fact, I do not even remember much of my childhood."
