Chapter 1890: Family Reunion

~7 min read 1,206 words

Ma Xiaoling had not yet spoken.

Chang'e, who had been following Ma Xiaohu and waiting outside the door, thought something had happened to him and immediately poked her head in to look.

"Xiaohu, what's wrong?"

She asked curiously.

She did not expect that upon seeing Chang'e, Ma Dalong's expression would change drastically, becoming extremely furious, "Demoness, it's you?"

Hearing Ma my lord's address for Chang'e, Ma Xiaohu hurriedly explained to Ma Dalong, "No, no, the Princess is not a demoness. A lot of things happened today, really a lot, I'll explain it to you in a moment."

Unfortunately, Ma Dalong was unwilling to listen to Ma Xiaohu's explanation.

In his eyes, Chang'e was a demoness beyond any doubt.

Not to mention the various strange things manifested on her.

Just the fact that after Chang'e appeared, she ruined the important task he had been maintaining for over twenty years, causing him to miss the late-night opportunity to nail the unlucky ghost on Ma Xiaohu.

If he hadn't missed the best time to nail the unlucky ghost.

Ma Xiaohu wouldn't have been wanted, wouldn't have ended up in such a state, and wouldn't be so unlucky.

In Ma Dalong's view, all of this was because of the demoness Chang'e.

"Demoness, you still dare to appear before me!"

As a member of the Exorcist Dragon Clan Ma family, although Ma Dalong had no magic power, he possessed a determination to protect his child. He didn't know how Chang'e had bewitched Ma Xiaohu, but for the sake of his child, he had to drive this demoness away from Ma Xiaohu's side.

Ma Xiaohu sensed Ma Dalong's movement and immediately stepped forward, blocking Chang'e to stop Ma Dalong.

Although he was useless as a person.

But now, having finally met the princess he liked, as a warrior, he had to protect her well.

Seeing Ma Xiaohu defending Chang'e like this, Ma Dalong only thought Chang'e had fed Ma Xiaohu a love potion, and he became even more furious.

Seeing that the conflict between this father and son was about to erupt.

Ma Xiaoling frowned slightly; this result was not what she wanted to see.

What she wanted to see was a happy scene of a family reunion.

But what was this?

A brawl?

Fatherly kindness and filial piety?

Su Xuan also seemed unable to watch any longer and said, "If there are any conflicts, talk about them later."

As his words were spoken.

Ma Dalong immediately calmed down, and the anger in his heart dissipated instantly.

Ma Xiaohu also noticed the change in Ma Dalong's attitude.

He hurriedly explained to Ma Dalong, "Ma my lord, listen to me, the Princess is really not a demoness, she's not a bad person."

"Hmph!" Ma Dalong grunted, clearly not believing Ma Xiaohu's words.

Su Xuan looked at Ma Xiaohu and said, "Don't mind his attitude, come in first. Today, here, you only have family, no enemies. Some things cannot be explained standing at the door; you must come in to talk."

Ma Xiaohu had just opened the door and seen Ma Dalong, Ma Xiaoling, and the others, so at this moment, half of his body was still outside.

Upon hearing Su Xuan's words, Ma Xiaohu was stunned; he didn't understand what Su Xuan meant by "only have family."

He then looked at Ma Dalong, because this was Ma my lord's home.

Ma Dalong felt Ma Xiaohu's gaze, and his expression softened.

"Come in!"

And so, Ma Xiaohu brought Chang'e inside.

Out of respect for Su Xuan and his daughter, Ma Dalong did not continue to call Chang'e a demoness.

Su Xuan walked in front of Ma Xiaohu and greeted him with a gentle tone, "Hello, my name is Su Xuan!"

Although Ma Xiaohu was an ordinary person, his true identity was extraordinary; he was the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and hidden within his Primordial Spirit was the Book of Man from the Three Books. Su Xuan didn't mind greeting him.

Seeing Su Xuan take the initiative to greet him, Ma Xiaohu hurriedly said, "Su Xuan, hello, my name is Ma Xiaohu."

Su Xuan nodded slightly and said to Ma Xiaohu, "Let me introduce you."

As he spoke, he pointed to Ma Xiaoling, "This is Ma my lord's daughter, Ma Xiaoling."

"Ma my lord's daughter?" Ma Xiaohu was stunned after hearing Su Xuan's words, and then he said to Ma Dalong in disbelief, "So you have family? Why haven't I heard you mention it in all these years?"

And, why is the name Ma Xiaoling so similar to my name?

How could it not be! It was only one character apart.

Hearing Ma Xiaohu's words, Ma Dalong's expression became incredibly complex; he didn't know how to answer him.

Su Xuan said to Ma Dalong, "It is time, tell them everything!"

Ma Dalong took a few deep breaths, his gaze hopeful yet cautious as he looked at Su Xuan, "Is it really okay? Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

Ma Xiaoling didn't know what changes telling Ma Xiaohu the truth would bring, or what consequences it would lead to.

She didn't even understand why the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had instructed her father to do such a thing in the first place.

But she trusted Su Xuan.

Even if the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was a legendary being with great supernatural powers and an extraordinary origin.

Su Xuan was no ordinary person either.

Having once been the Taishang Daozu, in terms of origin, even the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was a latecomer.

"Rest assured, with Su Xuan here, nothing will happen," Ma Xiaoling said to Ma Dalong with a firm tone.

Ma Dalong understood the meaning behind his daughter's words.

In the end, he chose to believe his daughter.

Ma Dalong finally stopped hesitating, but with the words on the tip of his tongue, he didn't know where to start. So, he picked up his guitar again, pressed the strings with his left hand, plucked with his right, and played that special tune.

Ma Xiaoling had heard this tune once before when she arrived in front of the residential building, and this was the second time she heard it.

Hearing it again, she was now a person within the song; listening to it for the second time, Ma Xiaoling had a completely different feeling.

On the other side, after hearing this tune, Ma Xiaohu's eyes went straight, and he said tremblingly, "Why can you play this tune? Who exactly are you?"

He grew up in an orphanage, and the director told him that his father died before he was born, and his mother died in childbirth.

Among the belongings his father left him, there was a music score, and that score recorded this very tune.

So Ma Xiaohu was incredibly familiar with this tune; he never expected to hear it here at Ma Dalong's place today.

He was not stupid.

Combining Ma Xiaoling and Ma Dalong's words, many doubts arose in Ma Xiaohu's heart.

After finishing the tune, Ma Dalong looked at Ma Xiaohu and Ma Xiaoling, and said sorrowfully, "This tune belongs to you, so you should also know the story behind it."

"The story is about a useless man, and how he became a useless father..." ===== CHAPTER 1892 =====
