BOSS Transmigrates as a Little Cutie - Chapter 152.2 - Return

Chapter 152.2 – Return

“Eh? You guys are actually here?” Qing Chen’s voice rang out, disrupting the room full of inexplicable grief.

“We saw that there was actually a tablet here, hence we came over to have a look.” Ming Yan explained to Qing Chen, but a pair of eyes were still fixed on Qing Yun who had suffered a huge shock.

Qing Chen turned to the tablet on the offerings table and also fell silent. He walked over, wiping the dust off the tablet with practice, then offered a stick of incense to the tablet. He smiled and explained: “The two of you should also know about the relationship between Qing Yun and our Qing family, right?”

“This tablet is precisely an effigy of Qing Yun’s father, the Qing family’s 53rd clan head. He was also the clan head with the highest cultivation and contribution in the entire history of our Qing family.”

“Oh? Then why have you all placed him here?” The one who voiced the question was Qing Yun. His voice carried an unusual rasp.

“This was the final wish of Clan Head Qing Zhan himself.” Qing Chen was puzzled as to why the previously indifferent Yun Qing would ask about this, but he had always been magnanimous and did not feel that this matter was anything to be hidden. Hence he continued explaining: “In the beginning, after Clan Head Qing Zhan and his wife birthed Qing Yun, someone spread rumours in the cultivation world that their son was an ill omen, forcing Clan Head Qing Zhan to kill Qing Yun. But Clan Head Qing Zhan stood his ground against the opinion of the masses, raising Qing Yun in the ancestral hall. The Clan Head’s wife also seemed to leave the Qing family because of this.”

“After Qing Yun had reached adulthood without any mishaps, the Clan Head let him out. No one expected the bloodbath that happened after.” Qing Chen shook his head, omitting the later events, only saying, “After Clan Head Qing Zhan’s death, we never managed to find his body. However, via the Family Clan’s secret method, we retrieved the scene of the Clan Head’s death and also learned about his final wish. That’s why we placed the tablet here.”

“Nevertheless, maybe at that time, the members of the Qing family were still blaming him for the matter of Qing Yun and thus neglected its maintenance. Or someone simply forgot about this room, up till when my father became the leader and moved the Qing family back here again. That’s when we found Clan Head Qing Zhan’s tablet here.” As Qing Chen spoke about this, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

“My father’s family branch is a side branch of the Qing family, back then he had been well nurtured by Clan Head Qing Zhan, thus Father has always been grateful for the Clan Head’s kindness. Now that the Qing family has fallen into decline, the tablets have always been maintained by me and my father. But currently, because I’m in the Heavenly Pure Sect, while Father has gone into seclusion, we have wronged Clan Head Qing Chen.”

As Qing Chen said all of this, Qing Yun kept silent and did not raise his head.

“Let’s leave for now, Brother Yun, the match between us still……”

Before Qing Chen could complete his sentence, he was interrupted by the housekeeper who had rushed in: “Young Clan Head! Bad news, Sacred……”

Seeing that there were still outsiders behind him, the housekeeper cut off his half-spoken sentence abruptly. Only when Qing Chen came over to him, did he then explain the situation in detail: “The Sacred Dao Sect came again, this time they actually want to take away all Qing family members who are younger than 20. Young Clan Head, please leave quickly and seek the protection of your sect!”

“How preposterous!” Qing Chen immediately gritted his teeth. How could he abandon his family and leave on his own? He instantly brushed the housekeeper aside and strode out.

After taking two steps, he did not forget to remind Qing Yun: “It is my bad this time round, to prevent the matters of the Qing family from implicating Brother Yun, I am requesting Brother Yun to leave early!”

After that, Qing Chen immediately stepped onto his sword and flew outside, while the housekeeper could not be bothered with anything else, chasing after him promptly.

They thus left the two people in the ancestral hall and did not worry too much about it. Although every single tablet in the ancestral hall preserved each Clan Head’s deathbed scene and these were the Qing family’s most treasured assets, only those with a strong enough Qing family lineage would be able to open them. It was also for this reason that the Sacred Dao Sect had not taken these tablets away from them since their raid.

“Let’s go.” Qing Yun had sorted his feelings out. Right now, he was desperate to leave the Qing family residence, as the location of Qing Zhan’s tablet had already brought an extreme blow to Qing Yun, making him rethink all the things that occurred back then.

Did he……overlook something back then?

Ming Yan sighed and nodded in agreement. Before Qing Yun left, he touched the tablet with a finger. A flash of light, and that tablet became as clean as new once more; the two characters “Qing Zhan” also was bursting with light.

But Qing Yun’s finger touched some place, and suddenly a stream of light projected out from the tablet, and a vivid image burst out.

Qing Yun was stunned, he was supposed to have already returned all of the Qing family’s lineage1, it was no longer possible for him to……

“Baby, this current body of yours was reconstructed by your soul.” Ming Yan gently reminded Qing Yun. Even though his old body had returned all of the blood lineage, Qing Yun’s soul was still conceived by his parents, and no matter what, that connection cannot be severed.

In the next second, Qing Yun already had no mood to pay attention to anything else. The reason being a very familiar location showing up on the image, that location precisely being the Qing Hong Sword Sect. And the silhouette of someone wearing a concealment robe also appeared.

Qing Chen hurriedly made his way to the main hall of the Qing family. At this moment, the people brought by the Sacred Dao Sect had already completely surrounded the Qing family in a dense circle. The Tribulation stage elder from the Sacred Dao Sect was pompously seated on the head seat. Seeing Qing Chen approach, he immediately laughed: “Look, here comes another one! Capture him for me!”

“Be merciful, Elder! Could you please let me know, what wrong has the Qing family committed again, to be punished in such a way?”

Qing Chen’s father, Qing Jin, had placed down all of his dignity as the Clan Head, asking the elder from the Sacred Dao Sect with a compromising attitude.

“Committed what wrong? Hasn’t your Qing family been in the wrong all this while? Producing Qing Yun is precisely all of your faults!” The Sacred Dao Sect elder snorted, then ordered his subordinates, “Capture Qing Jin for me! A Mahayana stage cultivator can still fetch a good price.”

Qing Chen was completely provoked into anger by the insulting tone, he questioned the Sacred Dao Sect elder: “The Qing family is in the wrong just because we produced Qing Yun? Back then when Qing Yun was alive and killed every Sacred Dao son, why did you all not say this? Why did you all not dare to take action against the Qing family?”

“Tch, what a pity that Qing Yun is long dead. Even if this family branch of yours wants to be closer to Qing Zhan and Qing Yun, there is no use whatsoever. As a matter of fact, it is now the fault of you father and son!”

The surrounding Qing family members took his words as truth, aiming disapproving glares at Qing Jin and Qing Chen. Nevertheless, Qing Jin’s mind was not tossed into a state of turmoil by the words from the Sacred Dao Sect. He raised his head to say: “Qing Jin has been the Qing family Clan Head for less than a hundred years, meanwhile Qing Yun has passed away for more than a thousand years. During these thousand years, our Qing family has had over ten different Clan Heads, and no matter their attitude towards Qing Yun, none of them could escape your Sacred Dao Sect’s abuse! Do not use Qing Yun as your Sacred Dao Sect’s reason for committing all sorts of crimes!”

Qing Jin’s bellow immediately woke those Qing family members. That’s right, after Qing Yun’s death, the Qing family came under attack. Instead, when Qing Yun was alive, even if there were people who pointed at and gossiped about their Qing family, not a single person dared to treat their Qing family like this!

Seeing that the Sacred Dao Sect used brute force to capture all the young people of the Qing family, and even wanted to sell the women and the rest of the cultivators as slaves, Qing Jin understood that at this moment, the Sacred Dao Sect had already made up their minds to bring down the Qing family. No explanation will help!

There’s still one more part to this chapter, splitting it so that I can have some semblance of a stockpile *sweats*

hello! I thought of picking up this novel since there are only 7 chapts left (but oh god those chapters are long… I pasted the very last chapter onto a gdoc and it’s like…25 pages of CN characters help me)

I have not read the full novel yet, just relying on the previous translators’ translations for names, locations, etc. so if I get anything wrong (including plot interpretation stuff), please do tell me (in the comments or ping me on discord!)

updates might be a bit slow since I have school starting on 8 Aug. I tried my best to get this out before I started school again ^^;

if you would like to support me or my translations, do consider giving me a kofi at:

Cheerios! ~astrid83

1. I’m not entirely sure what this means, I saw the previous tl was “exhausted the Qing family’s bloodline” which… does not make sense. I’m guessing this is like Qing family produced him, and he returned his physical body & blood (by destroying it) back to the Qing family, thus having no relation to them anymore. Another interpretation would be he had already made up for his sins to the Qing family by destroying his own body/removing his root bone? Please do correct me if I’m wrong.
