"Mother." A small pile of chopped firewood was neatly stacked at his feet. Ye Zechuan suddenly stopped the ax in his hand and gently called the woman beside him.

"Huh?" Ye Suxue raised her eyes and looked at him, asking softly, "What's wrong?"

Ye Zechuan stared at her face seriously for a while, and finally decided to tell her about the bad abilities of the others: "Mother, although the three children I met today are not very old, they should all have super powers.

The little girl by the lake just lifted the lotus leaf and pulled out the entire lotus root."

As he spoke, he pointed at the lotus root he had thrown aside.

Ye Suxue raised her eyes and was about to look over. When she caught sight of his transparent white fingers, her face suddenly changed, and her tone of question became much more severe: "Did you use the Ice Condensation Technique when you went out today?"

Hearing his mother's accusation, Ye Zechuan quickly took his hand back and quickly put it behind his back: "Mother, I..."

"Answer my question," Ye Suxue didn't give him a chance to explain. She looked at him coldly and continued to ask, "Yes, or no?"

Under his mother's stern gaze, Ye Zechuan slowly lowered his head: "Yes, but I..."

‘Crack!’

The loud and crisp slaps echoed throughout the backyard.

A slap hit him hard on the cheek, and immediately, red fingerprints appeared on his fair left cheek.

"How did you promise me in the first place? You said you would never use the Ice Condensation Technique outside. Did you forget it so quickly?" Ye Suxue looked at her son's red and swollen cheeks, and the pain in her heart was worse than him.

However, she had to harden her heart.

"Mom, I was wrong." Ye Zechuan didn't cry or try to explain. He just lowered his head and admitted his mistake to her.

He knew what his mother was worried about. Back then, his father was jealous because he was born with powerful ice condensation skills, and later died unexpectedly.

His mother was worried that if his ability became known, he might follow in his father's footsteps.

"Is it okay to just say 'wrong'?" Ye Suxue closed her eyes, and the mole in the corner of her left eye was like a teardrop hanging on her cheek.

She had worked so hard to isolate herself and her son from the entire Ye Island. Since the death of her husband Ye Mingjin, even her last ambition had been wiped out.

Nowadays, she doesn't care at all who becomes the clan leader, nor does she care about the overt and covert fights among the candidates. She just wants them, mother and son, to live in peace and quiet.

Although her life in Penglaiyuan was very poor and hard, she was content.

And now that the next heir lives here, it means that the Horai-in will not be peaceful in the future.

But this ignorant child actually revealed his abilities outside!

How can she not be angry? How can she not be worried?

"Mother, there is a sentence that I have been hiding in my heart for a long time. If I don't ask it out today, I'm afraid I will never be safe." Ye Zechuan looked at the disappointed and almost desperate expression of the woman in front of him, and slowly spoke, "Why should we?

Hiding here to survive? Since you said that my father was framed back then, why should we let him suffer such injustice? Why can't I use my strength to avenge my father? "

‘Crack!’
