After running for more than ten hours, Long Chen finally found the traces left by Xiaoxue. This is where Xiaoxue was teleported.
It was already very far away from the Yin family's ancestral land. Long Chen followed the traces left by Xiaoxue and continued to chase for a day and night, and finally saw a small town.
In an inn in the city, Long Chen met his parents and sister. When Long Chen arrived, there were only Long Tianxiao and his family in the entire inn.
Because after Xiaoxue arrived, the other guests were scared away. This is just a remote town with a population of less than 100,000. Usually, people in the Yijin Realm are already considered strong, and in the Bone Forging Realm, they are peerless experts. When have you seen five people?
A level monster?
When Long Tianxiao came in, riding on Xiaoxue, even the innkeeper was so scared that he was about to run away. The aura on Xiaoxue's body made them tremble.
Tell Long Tianxiao directly that he can live in whichever room he likes. If Long Tianxiao hadn't comforted the shopkeeper, he would have run away long ago.
"Chen'er"
Seeing Long Chen's arrival, Mrs. Long hugged Long Chen and cried with joy. Long Tianxiao's eyes were also red. He thought he would never see Long Chen again.
"Mom, my child is unfilial and I'm hurting you all," Long Chen couldn't help but choked up. He went out to practice on his own, but he made his parents suffer. At this moment, his heart hurt like a knife.
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? Come on, come here and meet your sister. This is your sister. I gave her the name. She is called Long Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, come and meet your brother. He is what your parents have always told you.
Brother," Mrs. Long said, pulling the little girl.
"elder brother……"
The little girl looked at Long Chen with her big watery eyes. She was a little scared, but also a little curious. She hid behind Mrs. Long's thighs. Some didn't dare to look at Long Chen, but she really wanted to see him.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, Xiaojiabiyu, mother, are you afraid that your sister will run away?" Long Chen couldn't help laughing. It can be seen from the name that his mother does not want Xiaoyu to achieve anything, she only hopes that she can live quietly in her own life.
Be a well-behaved child around you.
But when he heard Xiaoyu's name, a figure slightly older than Xiaoyu appeared in Long Chen's mind. It seemed that she had reported her name before, and it was very similar to Xiaoyu, but he had forgotten the details.
"Come on, Xiaoyu, can you let me hug you?" Long Chen squatted down, 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 lovingly and stroked her little head.
"But, he...is different from the portrait...a bit fierce." Xiaoyu looked at Long Chen and whispered in Mrs. Long's ear.
Xiaoyu's words immediately made the three of them laugh, but Long Chen smiled bitterly. He knew what the portrait Xiaoyu was talking about was.
It was a picture album that was very popular during the Fengming Empire. At that time, Long Chen was still a young man. Now, more than two years have passed, and Long Chen has grown up.
Not only did his appearance become more resolute, but he also competed with strong men and killed countless people during his cultivation. The evil spirit in his bones was difficult to conceal.
Although Long Chen has restrained that kind of aura, Xiaoyu is a child and is very sensitive to this kind of aura, so he naturally feels that he is fierce.
Seeing that Xiaoyu did not 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-building and bone-building pill, using only a stick of incense.
Within seconds, Long Tianxiao gave birth to a new arm.
"Chen'er, are you suffering outside?" Long Tianxiao patted Long Chen's shoulder with his big hand and sighed.
Although Long Chen is now as tall as Long Tianxiao, in Long Tianxiao's eyes, Long Chen will always be the child under Cheng Huan's knees. Looking at Long Chen's resolute face, Long Tianxiao feels sour in his heart.
Behind the fortitude, only Long Chen himself knew the sadness of sacrifice.
Long Chen resisted the tears and said with a smile: "Dad, it's not hard for the child. The outside world is very exciting. I have many confidants and many passionate brothers..."
Long Chen briefly told Long Tianxiao about his experience, but he only picked out the exciting parts and omitted all the sad and helpless parts.
"Chen'er, I'm both happy and sad about your choice today. I'm happy that you have gone through so many hardships and still haven't changed your innocent heart.
What's sad is that you have experienced so many killings and you still haven't changed your cruelty. I'm afraid that one day the same thing will happen to you again, and I'm afraid that by then, you will fall." Long Tianxiao sighed.
Long Chen attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and his righteousness is very important. This is something he is very happy about, but with this kind of nature, he is really at 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 planning to return to Fengming. I am planning to find another small town like this, settle down, and live here peacefully with your mother and your sister.
Think about it, these years of marching from east to west have never brought you anything. This time can be regarded as an epiphany.
I want to try to be a mortal, hunting and farming every day, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, relaxed and at ease," Long Tianxiao said with a smile.
"father……"
"Chen'er, don't be sad. Instead, be happy for dad. This time dad has really realized that life itself is a practice.
Some people care about the results, but they forget that the process of practice is sometimes more moving than the results.
When I was young, I only thought about how to become stronger. I cared too much about the results. Now I understand that the results are unknown, but the process is in my own hands.
No matter what the result is, I now want to make my process more exciting. 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 must cherish this opportunity and watch her grow up little by little.
Chen'er, there is a saying that goes like this: A pony feels the road is narrow when it first travels; a roc spreads its wings and hates the sky; your world will be farther and higher.
Don't mess up your Taoist heart because of us. Everyone has their own pursuit. You should be happy for us because we have found our own pursuit." Long Tianxiao patted Long Chen's shoulder and said sincerely.
Long Chen looked at Long Tianxiao, and he saw calmness and indifference in his father's eyes, without any reluctance.
"Yes, Dad"
"Okay, go play with your sister for a while. You are her idol. She keeps talking about you."
"But, she thinks I'm cruel"
"Hahaha……"
The family spent three days here peacefully. 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 from 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 fight to the death?
In this peaceful town, Long Chen felt an unprecedented sense of peace in his heart, as if he was far away from the endless battles.
But Long Chen knew that this calm was only temporary, and he still had to return to the bloody torrent and continue his life.
Because he doesn't fight, he doesn't know his own life experience. He can escape from this kind of fight, but that would be too cruel to his biological parents.
Unknowingly, the purple jade pendant appeared in my hand again. I fumbled with the writing on it, and I couldn't help but feel a little painful. I didn't know when I would see my biological parents and whether they were 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.
"I……"
"I know that my brother is a great hero. He wants to save the whole world and fight against all the evil spirits. When he defeats those evil spirits, he will definitely come back to see Xiaoyu," Xiaoyu suddenly said excitedly.
"This...who told you?" Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
"Mom said it, and dad said the same thing. By the way, brother, why do you call daddy or father?"
Xiaoyu's words changed so quickly that Long Chen couldn't keep up: "When I was a child, I also called me daddy, but later... I called me father because my brother is older and it is not appropriate to call him that way anymore."
Long Chen remembered that when he was the same size as Xiaoyu, he would follow his father around all day long, calling him daddy. But after his father left, the title became unfamiliar.
"Xiaoyu, please don't grow up. I will always call you daddy, and daddy will always pamper me. Brother, let Xiaoyu give me a kiss." Xiaoyu suddenly stretched out her little hand to wrap her arms around Long Chen's neck, and kissed Long Chen on the cheek.
remember.
Now Xiaoyu and Long Chen are familiar with each other, and there is no longer any strangeness and fear before. Instead, Xiaoyu has become the closest to Long Chen, even ignoring his father and mother.
"Brother, let me tell you, I really hate my father."
"Why?" Long Chen was stunned.
"Because my father's beard is very prickly. Even if he shaves it clean, it will grow out in a short time. It's like a hair brush, and it hurts when pricked," Xiaoyu said secretly.
"Ahem, Xiaoyu, it's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs." At some point, Long Tianxiao came behind the two of them and happened to hear what the little guy said.
"Daddy hugs"
Seeing Long Tianxiao's arrival, the little guy opened his arms. Long Tianxiao's face, which had just straightened up, immediately became dumbfounded. He picked up the little guy. Obviously, this trick of the little guy was tried and tested.
"Okay, okay, it's time to eat."
Mrs. Long's voice came from the room. The family gathered around the square table. Although they ate just ordinary vegetables and tofu, they were enjoying themselves in a plain and ordinary way.
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 farewell scene, and Long Tianxiao also said that after Long Chen left, he would also leave and find a peaceful place to live an ordinary life.
After finding a larger city and paying a large amount of teleportation fees, Long Chen stepped onto the teleportation array and ran directly to Xuantian Branch. Brothers, I, Long Chen, am back.
