Chapter 5: This Looks Like A Rune



Well, Chen Tian is a man with dignity. In fact, he had never asked his aunt for money; he had only ever accepted the money his aunt gave him.

He had always wanted to find a way to express his gratitude toward his aunt for her kindness.

\'If only I could cultivate once more,\' thought Chen Tian with unyielding passion. He firmly believed that if he were able to cultivate, he would ascend to the pinnacle of power and perhaps even surpass his previous strength.

His thoughts made him fall into reverie. He only came to his senses when he heard Leng Zhiqing\'s voice as she greeted her mother and older sister.

"Mom, sis," said Leng Zhiqing in a soft voice.

The younger ones should greet the older ones; that was the main rule in the villa.

"Um, aunt, sis." Chen Tian quickly greeted his aunt and Aria Wong after he sat down at the table.

But his rushed tone as he spoke only made his aunt and Aria Wong look at him even more strangely. In fact, they had been staring at him with strange eyes ever since he had appeared in the dining room.

The strangeness of his expression couldn\'t be hidden from their eyes.

"What\'s the matter with you, little brother? Why does your face look like you\'re in serious trouble?" Aria Wong suddenly asked,

She looked him in the eye as she spoke.

Unlike Leng Zhiqing, who always showed a cold expression, Aria Wong was a cheerful woman who easily communicated with everyone.

Apart from that, she also has quite a passion for playing games.

"Very rarely do you daydream like that." His aunt also spoke. "If you have a problem, you have to tell me. You know, in this city of Z, there is no problem that I can\'t solve." She smiled confidently as she spoke. But her eagle eyes stared intently into his eyes.

There, only Leng Zhiqing seemed indifferent.

"Nothing; I was just considering attending a party that some of my friends had invited me to." Chen Tian lied.

"Only that?" questioned his aunt. "Well, as long as you\'re not getting into any trouble."

"Of course, aunt, I will never get in trouble." He replied with a smile, but deep down he knew that trouble always found him, no matter how hard he tried to avoid it.

Even his aunt, Aria and Leng Zhiqing didn\'t believe him, as his aunt and Aria had a concerned look on their faces, while Leng Zhiqing just shook her head in disbelief.

"Okay, you eat first. After that, you can go."

Chen Tian nodded, and he started to take the food off the table. But his thoughts made his appetite disappear quickly. In the end, he only managed to swallow a few mouthfuls of rice as his aunt and two cousins finished their meal.

But neither of them spokes even after they finished their meal; they just kept looking at him and waited for him to finish his meal.

"Huh." Chen Tian sighed.

When Chen Tian was getting up from his seat, his aunt called out to him.

"Yes, Aunt?" he responded.

"Don\'t forget that tomorrow is your birthday,\' she reminded him.

"Oh, I completely forgot about that," Chen Tian realized that he had forgotten his birthday.

"We will be having a small party tomorrow, so make sure to be here. If not, I will be very upset," his aunt said, clenching her right hand into a fist.

"Haha, okay," Chen Tian could only nervously laugh at his aunt\'s threat and promise to be present at the party.

After that, Chen Tian left for his room, but after spending some time there, he became bored, so he decided to leave and get some fresh air.

He wore some sport clothes and went for a jog around the neighborhood, hoping to clear his mind and calm his nerves.

As Chen Tian ran, he felt grateful for the cool breeze and peaceful surroundings, and with each step he took, his worries slowly dissipated. He had already been jogging for about two hours and was now beside the forest that he always visited when he wanted to relax. After spending some time there, Chen Tian decided that it was time to return home.

As he made his way back, the ground beneath his feet began to glow in a formation with a pattern that Chen Tian recognized. "This looks like a rune...." he said to himself. However, before he could investigate further or even finish his sentence, Chen Tian suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Only the soft rustling of leaves in the wind was able to break the eerie silence that followed. It appeared as though the enigmatic power of the glowing rune had swallowed Chen Tian whole.
