Chapter 1124 - 1124 1084 Coming Back to Life

1124: Chapter 1084: Coming Back to Life 1124: Chapter 1084: Coming Back to Life In Cloud Sea City, within the public cemetery plot.

Huang Kai brought people from the manor here to hold a funeral ceremony for Huang Tiankang.

He knelt in front of the gravestone with a few family members, muttering something under his breath.

From a distance, Lu Chuan watched their silhouettes and couldn’t help feeling sentimental.

“So Huang Tiankang just died like that, it really makes one sigh.

This Huang Kai, I’m afraid he might not be up to the task.

The future in Cloud Sea City will surely be lively.”

Jyang Ran and Yu Qiming stood by Lu Chuan’s side.

“There’s no helping it, the dead cannot be resurrected.

Since it has already happened, we have to accept it.

If Huang Kai isn’t fit to be the City Lord, then the Huang family is heading towards decline,” commented Yu Qiming with emotion.

Jyang Ran continued, “That’s utterly no recourse.

The man’s dead, let’s leave it at that.

I think having Su Jingqian as the City Lord wouldn’t be bad either.

Or perhaps, you could take the role yourself.”

Yu Qiming shook his head repeatedly, “Now isn’t the time to talk about this.

Otherwise, people might think I’m taking advantage of the situation.”

“It’s a pity.

Huang Tiankang was a competent City Lord after all.

He dedicated his life for the safety of Cloud Sea City.”

Yu Qiming went on, “If only I could see him one more time, he surely had much to entrust to Huang Kai.”

But at that moment, a figure approached.

“I actually do have some things to say.”

Yu Qiming turned to look and let out a terrified scream upon seeing Huang Tiankang approaching.

“Ah!!!”

“Lord Huang!

How can it be you?

Aren’t you dead?

Are you a ghost?”

Jyang Ran covered her mouth, astonished, “You’ve actually come back to life.”

Huang Tiankang shook his head helplessly, “I never died in the first place, I escaped and hid on a small island in the lake, avoiding death.

I swam to shore this morning and made my way back to the city.”

Yu Qiming sighed with relief, “So it is, I thought I saw a ghost.

You really have great fortune to survive a disaster.”

Hearing this, Huang Tiankang could only smile wryly at the mention of good fortune; misfortune seemed to have fallen upon him instead.

He dared not look at Lu Chuan and did not greet him either, heading straight into the cemetery.

Lu Chuan watched his retreating back, feeling a touch of curiosity.

“Why does he seem so strange?”

Yu Qiming responded, “It’s quite normal.

A person often changes after experiencing life-and-death moments.”

“Just didn’t expect that his change would be so great that it caused him to lose his memory.”

Lu Chuan turned to Yu Qiming, “Amnesia?”

“He doesn’t recognize you anymore, isn’t that amnesia?”

“That makes sense.

Ordinarily, he should at least greet me.”

…

Huang Tiankang walked behind the crowd approaching Huang Kai’s figure.

At this moment, Huang Kai knelt on the ground, bursting into tears.

“Dad!

May you have a good journey!”

“Why…

I didn’t even see you for the last time.

If only I could see you one last time, I wouldn’t mind dying instead!”

Huang Kai cried out in pain.

Huang Tiankang came up from behind,

“Son, I’ve returned.”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Huang Kai quickly turned his head.

Seeing Huang Tiankang, his face was filled with joy, “Dad!”

“You’re actually alive!

I really get to see you!”

He quickly stood up, “It can’t be…

my turn to die, can it?

I’ve made a vow.”

“I never died at all, I just escaped by luck and survived.”

The others also stood up one after another, looking towards Huang Tiankang.

“Honorable City Lord, you’ve returned!”

“Family Head Huang, you’re still alive, that’s wonderful!”

“Cloud Sea City can finally stabilize, this is great!”

Huang Kai walked forward and embraced Huang Tiankang.

Observing this from afar, Lu Chuan and his two companions exchanged smiles and then turned away to leave.

On the way back, Lu Chuan furrowed his brow in thought.

“I have a feeling that something’s off with Huang Tiankang.

I suspect he’s encountered something, but can’t tell me about it.”

“Lu Chuan, aren’t you holding a grudge too much?

Just because he didn’t greet you, you’re convinced there’s a problem?” questioned Jyang Ran.

“It’s not about that.

It’s his evasiveness, not wanting to meet my eye.”

“Maybe…

he really didn’t see you.”

Jyang Ran speculated.

Yu Qiming immediately retorted, “That’s even less likely.

With such a big person standing in front of him, did he go blind?

How could he not see.”

“That’s also true.

Forget it, let’s not worry about this.

It’s normal for him to be a bit odd.”

Jyang Ran casually continued walking.

Lu Chuan returned to the Yu Family Manor.

Upon entering the courtyard, Gu Xiaorou quickly approached him.

“How was the funeral?

Did it go smoothly?”

She inquired.

“What could go wrong with a funeral…

But…

there was indeed some trouble.”

Gu Xiaorou immediately became curious, “Was there really an unexpected incident?”

“Yes…

you see, at the funeral, Huang Tiankang appeared.

He’s not dead.”

“What?

He’s resurrected?”

“He never died in the first place, so there’s no talk of resurrection.

He just happened to escape, but he didn’t reach the shore.”

“So, the City Lord of Cloud Sea City is still Huang Tiankang.”

“We don’t need to worry about this anymore.

Rather, we should be more concerned about who aided the flood dragon, and how we’re going to kill it,” Lu Chuan said as he sat in the pavilion of the courtyard, with Yu Qiming standing nearby beginning to report.

“Today I have already sent people to patrol the lake, but so far, no suspicious persons or traces of the flood dragon have been found.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “It seems unlikely to show up any time soon, let’s leave it at that for now.”

“Continue patrolling Cloud Sea Lake, we can’t miss any possibilities!”

“Yes!”

Yu Qiming stated solemnly.

Just then, the caretaker of the manor rushed over to the pavilion.

“Young Master Lu!

There’s terrible news, someone is looking for you!”

Lu Chuan quickly asked, “What’s the terrible news?

Who’s looking for me?”

“It’s Yuan Huan!

He says he has something important to tell you!”

Lu Chuan immediately stood up and looked at the caretaker, asking, “Really?

Yuan Huan is looking for me?”

Gu Xiaorou curiously asked, “Who is this Yuan Huan that makes you so excited?”

“He’s the one who collaborated with me to kill Patriarch Ming, allowing us to take control of the Ming family.”

“Quick, invite him in!”

Jyang Ran looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “His visit at this time, could it be that he has something to tell us?

After all, he lives on an island in the lake!”

Lu Chuan nodded seriously, “It’s very possible!”

“So, let’s wait and see what he has to say!”

Before long, Yuan Huan entered, striding toward the pavilion.

He had changed into a decent robe and walked quickly, looking hurried as if some great matter had arisen.
