Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 656: Xiao Muen’s Letter

On the same evening, the Chen Clan’s mansion had fallen into chaos.

The mute male servant of the youngest master, Chen Yunlan, had gone crazy. On the night the youngest master was punished by the madam and the guardian from the youngest master finally couldn’t hold back and started killing. No one in the clan was spared, the guards and servants of the house also have the same ending.

Xiao Muen was able to kill a few people connected to the madam but this madam also didn’t have an ordinary background. Just before Xiao Muen raised his sword to kill her, a few death warriors appeared from the shadow protecting her. Chen Yun wasn’t that much protected compared to the madam. Xiao Muen was able to scratch his face and cut off a whole arm before he was defeated.

The Madam upon seeing a long scar in Chen Yun’s face screams, "Ah! Husband!!!"

Hahahaha~

"Chen Yun, you might be able to hide Lan’er’s death to her family but never to Xue’er! When she comes back you will lose everything all over again!" Xiao Muen said.

Chen Yun’s thoughts: ’Xue’er? Is he talking about Lady Yue? Is she back? She will never be able to forgive me. I hope she spares my second wife’s life.’

The name Xue’er mentioned by Xiao Muen gave Chen Yun fear that is engraved in his bones. Only a few who had met this Xue’er would know her real identity and if not for his first wife, Ru Lanyu meeting this person is impossible in his whole life. When his second wife schemed to kill his first wife without his permission his blood turned cold at the sight of his first wife’s body.

Even though his first wife comes from an ordinary family, she has a few sworn friends. Two more female friends and a male friend. One female friend stays abroad to be exact; she lives in Korea with her family. Her husband is Korean. As for the male friend, his name is Xiao Muen. A quite famous cultivator of sword from the Xiao Clan.

However, after offending the clan behind his second wife, the whole Xiao Clan was killed. This includes Xiao Muen’s mother and wife. To protect Xiao Muen his first wife, Ru Lanyu, pretended to hire him as their son’s guard. At that time Chen Yun agreed and this was the last wish he had fulfilled for Ru Lanyu before she was killed by his second wife. He was hopeless against his second wife and regretted that night he fell for her all over again.

Chen Yun’s second wife was his first love. But this first love didn’t end well as the family of his first love was not ordinary. He can never be with her so she gave up. It was then when he had chosen to move on that he met Ru Lanyu and fell in love with her.

The feeling between Ru Lanyu and Chen Yun at this time was real. He truly loves her. It can be said that he loved her the most at this time. Who would have thought that a few years later, his first love would come knocking in his place and say that she is pregnant with his child. She wanted to be the legal wife of Chen Yun. Normally, Chen Yun would disagree but upon meeting his first love he suddenly couldn’t control himself.

This is the beginning of the nightmare. Ru Lanyu already had Chen Yunlan at that time and she couldn’t let her son grow up without a father. Ignoring her pride, Ru Lanyu chose to accept this woman as Chen Yun’s second wife. However, this is the worst decision Ru Lanyu made. This not only caused her life but also affected anyone around her. Ru Lanyu’s family was the most affected because she had fallen into depression. In the end, she died. Whether she was killed or died naturally, Ru Lanyu was still gone.

Xiao Muen hated Chen Yun for failing to protect Ru Lanyu and causing the destruction of his own family. For him, his nephew, Chen Yunlan was the only living family he had left and to see him get tortured like this in this family made him lose his temper completely.

He actually had no other attachment to this world except Chen Yunlan. His family and wife are gone. His friends Ru Lanyu and Lin Ruri had also gone ahead of him. Yue Xuexia hasn’t come back yet. Chen Yunlan was the only reason Xiao Muen is still alive. But who would bear seeing your own nephew being beaten by his own family without his father protecting him. This is so ridiculous, at least in the eyes of Xiao Muen. That’s why he decided to buy some time for the young man to escape in exchange for his life.

Meanwhile, in Chen Yunlan’s room.

He finally wakes up after suffering from being caned by his own family. Chen Yunlan was expecting to be in pain when he opened his eyes but unexpectedly there was no pain on his legs at all. He sat up and checked on his leg at the murky mirror in his room. He was shocked to see no wounds to his leg at all.

Looking at the reflection on the mirror, Chen Yunlan can only see his malnourished state. Bone and skin that his handsome face looks hideous to look at. He was about to avert his eyes to look somewhere when he saw an exquisite safety lock hanging on his neck.

The safety lock was made of gold with high quality jade engraved on it forming his name, Yunlan. There are also cute moon shaped designs around his name. He knew that this safety lock is a treasure one with defensive formation and teleportation.

Chen Yunlan checked the safety lock closely and the name on it was definitely his. But he doesn’t remember anything about this safety lock nor knew who gave it to him. He was about to return to his bed when suddenly he noticed that no one was in his room and that his uncle was gone. He saw a letter and picture locket left on his side table.

Seeing the written strokes on it he recognized that it was his Uncle Xiao’s writing. He immediately opened the letter.

The contents of the letter are:

{Dear Xiao Lan,

If you are reading this letter that means that Uncle is waiting for you to use the functions of the Safety Lock your Godmother, Yue Xuexia, had given you. Your father has gone strange and your mother is already gone. If you stay in this family you will not live until you are an adult. Uncle wishes to see you grow up and become a good man in the future.

The safety lock is the very first gift Yue Xuexia has given you. You haven’t met her as she had left this world before you were born. However, she knew that you would exist in the future and gave you this safety locket. Yunlan is a name your mother gave to you even before you were born and she had engraved it on this safety locket.

The functions of this locket are simple. First is protection. It can protect you from any attacks under Mahayama Realm. Your god mother is quite powerful. Before she left this realm she was already at Huashen Realm. That’s why anyone within and under Huashen Realm will not be able to touch you as you wear this safety lock.

The second function is long distance communication. Drip your blood on it and it would activate the ruins in it. If your god mother is around she should be able to sense you and hear your words. This is what I wanted you to do. I want you to try calling your god mother through this device and ask her to bring you away. This is also your mother, Ru Lanyu’s last wish.

At first, we had hidden your god mother’s connection to us. After the foreign cultivators had taken over our realm, a lot of the companies in this country were owned by your god mother. If the enemies wanted to seize it those connected to her would suffer. That’s why your mother and I, your uncle, choose not to tell you about her until the right time.

Who would have thought that your father would become a fool after meeting that woman! Your mother had suffered a lot, but she didn’t want you to end up like her. Her talents in cultivation were mediocre. It was only at the level of mine and your other Godmother Lin Ruri. That’s why we didn’t agree to accompany your Godmother Yue in her journey to the Cultivation Realm. We didn’t want to drag her down and lied to her that we wanted to live just as ordinary cultivators in this realm.

In reality, your Godmother Yue wouldn’t have cared if our talents for cultivation were low. She would have helped us get stronger until we reach the peak of our limits. She is overprotective by nature. She wouldn’t care even if we drag her down but because of this very reason we choose not to leave this realm with her. We don’t want to become her burden. That’s why she didn’t know that we had lied to her.

If you meet her in the future, apologize to her for me. Xiao Lan, the world beyond this house is big. You don’t need to stay here. I know you are much more talented than I or your mother. That’s why I don’t stay in this kind of place. Live the life of freedom and forget about this Chen Clan who has become your prison.

If you leave the country and head to Korea once, go find your elder sister Haerin. She is the Heir of the Han Clan. If you told her you are the son of her mother’s friend, Ru Lanyu, she would recognize you.

Live freely Chen Yunlan

Sincerely Uncle Xiao.}
