After running for more than ten hours, Long Chen finally discovered the traces left by Xiaoxue, which was where Xiaoxue was teleported.
It was already very far from the Yin family's ancestral land. Long Chen followed the traces left by Xiaoxue and continued to chase forward for a day and a night, and finally saw a small town.
In an inn in the city, Long Chen met his parents and sister. When Long Chen arrived here, there were only Long Tianxiao and his family of guests in the entire inn.
Because after Xiaoxue arrived, the other guests were scared away. This is just a remote town with a population of only 100,000. Usually, Yijin Realm is considered a strong man, and the bone-forging realm is a peerless master. When did you see a fifth-level monster?
When Long Tianxiao came in, he rode on Xiaoxue. Even the inn owner was so scared that he was about to run away. The breath of Xiaoxue made them tremble.
Tell Long Tianxiao directly that he would live in any room inside. If Long Tianxiao had not comforted the shopkeeper, he would have run away long ago.
"Chen'er"
Seeing Long Chen arrive, Mrs. Long hugged Long Chen and cried with joy. Long Tianxiao's eyes were red. He thought he would never see Long Chen again.
"Mom, the child is unfilial, I have implicated you." Long Chen couldn't help but swallow his heart even more. He came out to practice and actually implicated his parents in suffering. At this moment, his heart was as painful as a knife.
"Silly kid, what stupid things are you saying? Come here, come and see your sister. This is your sister. My name is Long Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, come and see your brother. He is the brother that his parents have always told you." Mrs. Long pulled the little girl and said.
"elder brother……"
The little girl looked at Long Chen with her big watery eyes, a little scared, but a little curious. She hid behind Mrs. Long's thighs, and was afraid to look at Long Chen, and she wanted to see it very much.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, mother, are you afraid that your sister will run away?" Long Chen couldn't help but smile. From the name, it can be seen that the mother did not want Xiaoyu to achieve anything, but she just hoped that she could live quietly by her side and be a well-behaved child.
However, when he heard Xiaoyu's name, a figure slightly larger than Xiaoyu appeared in Long Chen's mind. It seemed that she had once reported her name, which looked very similar to Xiaoyu, and forgot exactly.
"Come on, Xiaoyu, can you let your brother hug you?" Long Chen squatted down and clapped his hands and smiled.
"Mom...I'm afraid..." The little girl hid behind Mrs. Long's thigh and said timidly.
"Silly girl, that's your brother. Have you forgotten? It was my brother who saved us just now?" Mrs. Long looked at Xiaoyu with drowsiness and stroked her little head.
"But, he... is different from the portrait... a bit fierce." Xiaoyu looked at Long Chen and lay in Mrs. Long's ear and whispered.
Xiaoyu's words made the three of them laugh at once, but Long Chen did smile bitterly. He knew what the portrait in Xiaoyu's mouth was.
It was a popular album during the Fengming Empire. Long Chen was still a teenager at that time. Now more than two years have passed, and Long Chen has grown up.
Not only does he become more resolute in his appearance, but he also competes with the strong on the road of cultivation and kills countless times. The evil spirit in his bones is difficult to cover up.
Although Long Chen had restrained that breath, Xiaoyu was a child and was very sensitive to this breath, so he naturally felt that he was fierce.
Seeing that Xiaoyu didn't dare to get close to him, Long Chen smiled slightly and asked his mother to coax her. Long Chen found another room and gave Long Tianxiao a fifth-level muscle-generating bone pill. In just one stick of incense, Long Tianxiao gave birth to a new arm.
"Chen'er, have you suffered outside." Long Tianxiao patted Long Chen's shoulder with his big hand and sighed.
Although Long Chen is as tall as Long Tianxiao now, in Long Tianxiao's eyes, Long Chen will always be the child under the knees of Chenghuan. Looking at Long Chen's face full of firmness, Long Tianxiao's heart felt sour. Only Long Chen himself knew the sadness behind this firmness.
Long Chen held back his tears and smiled and said, "Dad, the child is not hard. The world outside is very wonderful. I have many confidants and many passionate brothers..."
Long Chen and Long Tianxiao briefly talked about their experiences, but they both selected exciting parts, and all the sad and helpless parts were omitted.
"Chen'er, I am both happy and sad about your choice today. What's so happy is that you have experienced so many hardships and still have not changed your innocent heart.
What’s sad is that you have experienced so many killings, but you still haven’t become ruthless. I’m afraid that one day the same thing will happen to you again. I’m afraid that at that time, you will die." Long Tianxiao sighed.
Long Chen values ​​love and righteousness, but he is very pleased with his righteousness, but his character is really a disadvantage outside.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not fall into such a trap again," Long Chen comforted.
"Your mother and I are not going to go back to Fengming anymore. I am going to find another town like this, settle down, and live here with your mother and your sister.
Think about the past few years, the East Expedition and West Station has never brought you anything. This time it is an epiphany.
I want to try to be a mortal, hunting, farming every day, working from sunrise, resting from sunset, and being relaxed and at ease," Long Tianxiao smiled.
"father……"
"Chen'er, don't be sad, but be happy for your father. This time, my father has really realized that life is a practice.
Some people care about the results, but forget that the process of practice is sometimes more moving than the results.
When I was young, I just thought about how to become stronger. I cared too much about the result. Now I understand that the result is unknown, but the process is in my own hands.
No matter what the result is, I want to make my process more exciting now. When you were young, I failed to accompany you to grow up, and that was my biggest loss.
God gave me another chance and sent Xiaoyu to me. I want to cherish this opportunity and I want to watch her grow up little by little.
Chen'er, there is a saying that when a little horse first walks, he thinks the road is narrow, and when a big roc spreads its wings and hates the sky is low, your world will be farther and higher.
Don’t mess up your heart of Tao because of us. Everyone has their own pursuits. You should be happy for us because we have found our pursuits." Long Tianxiao patted Long Chen’s shoulder and said earnestly.
Long Chen looked at Long Tianxiao, and from his father's eyes, he saw calmness and indifference, without any slightest bit of force.
"Yes, dad"
"Okay, go and play with your sister. You are the idol she admires. She has been talking about you all the time."
"But, she thinks I'm fierce"
"Hahaha……"
The family spent three days peacefully here. During these three days, Long Chen accompanied the little guy and played with Xiaoxue.
The little guy likes Xiaoxue very much and is not afraid at all. He even sleeps on Xiaoxue's back when he is tired of playing.
Long Chen leaned on Xiaoxue and stroked Xiaoxue's big head, his heart was filled with peace. In fact, happiness is very simple. Why do people have to make a life-and-death struggle?
In this peaceful town, Long Chen felt the peace that he had never experienced before, as if he was far away from the endless struggle.
But Long Chen knew that this peace was only temporary, and he would still have to return to the bloody torrent and continue his life.
Because he doesn't fight, he doesn't know his life experience. He can escape this kind of struggle, but that is too cruel for his biological parents.
Before I knew it, the purple jade pendant appeared in my hand again, groping for the handwriting on it, and I couldn't help but feel a little distressed. I don't know when I will see my biological parents and whether they are still alive.
"Brother, will you leave us?"
I don’t know when the little guy woke up and looked at Long Chen with his big eyes open.
"I……"
"I know that my brother is a great hero. He wants to save the whole world and fight against the evil demons of the heavens. When my brother defeats those evil demons, he will definitely come back to see Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu suddenly said excitedly.
"Who told you this...?" Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
"It was my mother who said it, and dad said it too. By the way, brother, why did you call dad dad or dad?"
Xiaoyu's words changed too quickly, and Long Chen couldn't keep up: "I also called Dad when I was a child, but later... I called Dad. Because my brother is older, it would be inappropriate to call him like this."
Long Chen remembered that when he was as big as a little jade, he followed his father's butt all day long, and his father called him, but after his father left, the name became unfamiliar.
"Then Xiaoyu doesn't grow up. I want to call him dad forever. Dad will always spoil me. Brother, let Xiaoyu kiss me." Xiaoyu suddenly stretched out her little hand and hugged Long Chen's neck and kissed Long Chen on the cheek.
Now Xiaoyu is familiar with Long Chen, and no longer has the strangeness and fear he used to be. Instead, he becomes closest to Long Chen, and even ignores his father and mother.
"Brother, I tell you, I actually hate my dear dad."
"Why?" Long Chen was stunned.
"Because my father's beard is so stubborn, even if it is shaved, it will grow out in a short while. Like a hair brush, it hurts so much," Xiaoyu said secretly.
"Ahem, Xiaoyu, it's not good to say bad things behind their backs." At some point, Long Tianxiao came behind the two and happened to hear the little guy's words.
"Dad hug"
Seeing Long Tianxiao coming, the little guy opened his arms, and Long Tianxiao's face, which had just risen, immediately became amused and crying. He picked up the little guy up. Obviously, this trick of the little guy was effective.
"Okay OK, okay, you can have a meal."
Mrs. Long's voice came from the room. The family surrounded the square table. Although they were eating ordinary vegetables and tofu, they were just plain and happy.
Long Chen stayed here for seven days, but on the eighth day, Long Chen finally left.
He did not leave during the day, but left late at night. He was afraid of seeing the scene of parting, and Long Tianxiao also said that after Long Chen left, he would also leave, find a peaceful place to live a normal life.
