Blind Rebirth (BL)

Father and son

Yun Shizi was a really interesting person. Chuan Hu concluded that, after they parted their ways. He met many people, yet never someone so 'contrasting' to what assumptions he made about the person. When he first saw the men, he was sure it was a women. Looking at a flower with such a tenderness it his eyes - and that face! His whole figure gave out this sweet-bitter aura, that made him mistake the men for a mourning women. When the tears fell from those deep eyes, he couldn't stop his heart from tightening. That's why he even bothered to talk to the 'ghost'. He never imagined such a sharp reply. His shock had gone even further when the offence in eyes of the stranger only grew. Was it this so called 'green tea bitch' that his wife warned him about, knowing his kind-hearted character, before he took off to the Hua clan? Maybe.

But than he realised it was a men. And remembered that truly hurt expression on the stranger's face when he looked at the flowers. After a bit of a thought he decided not to judge based on someone's appearance. The men still could have bad intentions.

Yet, as their interactions continued it was even harder to say. Was he good? Or was he bad? With those questions floating around his head, he answered those the stranger had for him. He sure was powerful, so no matter his character, Chuan Hu didn't want to anger him. Though, the things he asked about were... strange. The basics - most at least. But, it was rather suiting of his explanation - seclusion. He did not comment.

...

"Dad!" called a high pitched voice behind him. He turned around, just in time to catch his son, who wanted to jump on his back. "I've read the book you gave me!" the boy smiled and looked at the floating Yun Shizi questioningly. "Who's this?"

"He's..." Chuan Hu wasn't sure what to say. He turned to face the men. A friend? An elder? A ghost? All of those seemed inappropriate one way or another.

"I'm Yun Shizi. I came here to the family meeting, just like you" saved the purple realm cultivator, returning the smile.

"Eh... I thought you're one of those dead guys that my dad likes to talk to!" the child said cheerfully, completely disregarding the fact that the men was flying. "By the way, I'm Chuan Jiu!"

"He's my son. He also can see spiritual forms." introduced Chuan Hu. Yun Shizi extended his hand, and for a split second, he was afraid the men was gonna hurt them. He flinched, yet Yun Shizi only ruffled Chuan Jiu's hair in a friendly gesture. His eyes showed content mixed with amusement.

"Nice kid you have there, eh?" he was still eyeing the child. "What book were you reading?"

"Dad gave me a book on cultivation! It was very interesting!" Chuan Jiu jumped in his fathers arms in excitement. He was only 3 years old, so Chuan Hu could hold him with no problem.

"Oh? You'll go far, kid. Sir Hu, I hope you'll consider my request. For now, I need to take my leave, so enjoy your time together." He lowered his head in a silent goodbye and disappeared. After a while of silence, Chuan Hu looked at his son in contemplation.

"A-Jiu, if you ever meet that men again... Pay him your highest respects."

"Why? Is he a head of a clan?" the child looked at his father in confusion.

"No. Or rather I don't think so. But he's powerful and you wouldn't want to offend him." after a little more thought, he added "Also, be wary of him."

"Why? You said he's to be respected and stuff... Is he not to be trusted?"

"I'm not sure. He seems good and all, yet you never know if the power will one day not get to his head. So, just to be safe - don't bother him."

"Why?-"
