However, Yi Chen's face was covered with blood and dust, and his body was covered with shocking wounds.
Seeing this miserable look, Lu Qingmei's heart felt like it was being cut out with a knife, and she was filled with anger and pity.
"Your father's temperament has undergone some changes in this life, but his Taoist heart is still as indestructible as before."
Lu Qingmei said softly, "You are his child. Even if you don't have any feelings for him now, after all, you are the biological father and son whose blood is thicker than water. He will not deny you."
Yi Chen pursed his lips, and then said after a while: "Mother, I...can I not leave? Rather than meet a strange father, I want to stay with you, even if I die!"
Lu Qingmei felt happy and warm in her heart, but she said firmly: "You must go!"
Yi Chen's eyes suddenly darkened and he remained silent.
"Haven't you been fond of swordsmanship since you were a child? Your father is the unparalleled number one swordsman in the world in God's Domain!"
A hint of pride appeared on Lu Qingmei's eyebrows, "In the art of swordsmanship, there is no one in the world who can compare with your father, no one!"
"If you stay with him in the future, you will definitely inherit his mantle and go further on the road of sword cultivation."
Lu Qingmei showed a look of longing, "Mother can predict that Chen'er's future achievements in swordsmanship will surely shock the heavens and attract worldwide attention!"
"Mother……"
Yi Chen opened his mouth to say something.
"Listen to me."
Lu Qingmei's tone was gentle, "In the future...if something unexpected happens to me, remember not to seek revenge for me."
As if struck by lightning, Yi Chen opened his eyes wide and felt his heart clenching, "Mom, my child will not let anything happen to you! I will definitely!!"
"Don't worry, I will go see my father. I...I will definitely ask him to help you!"
As he spoke, Yi Chen felt unspeakable bitterness in his heart.
Why is he not proud and arrogant in his heart?
He has a proud character on his body!
It would be difficult for him to ask his father who had no feelings at all.
In fact, he would rather die than do this!
Can……
He cannot live without his mother.
For the sake of his mother, he would rather give up his integrity and dignity and ask for help!
Just like his mother risked her life to save him before, he... will risk everything to beg his mother!
Snapped!
Suddenly, Yi Chen received a slap on the face, and his face was burning.
He looked at his mother in disbelief.
This was the first time in his life that he was slapped by his mother, and he was stunned for a moment.
"I told you, don't beg him!"
Lu Qingmei's eyes were full of sternness, "What he looks down upon the most is people without spines. Even if you are his son, don't let him look down upon you!!"
Yi Chen's expression changed.
He could see that his mother was really angry.
Immediately, Lu Qingmei's expression softened and she sighed: "I know that if something happens to me, it will be difficult for you not to avenge me."

"However, you have to promise me that you will endure it until you have enough strength. Do you understand?"
Yi Chen lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, and remained silent.
"When a man is born in this world, he must know honor and disgrace, know how to advance and retreat, endure what ordinary people cannot endure, and do what ordinary people cannot do."
Lu Qingmei's eyes were in a trance, "Your father was hunted down by the gods and Buddhas in the past. How difficult the situation was. Compared with what you have suffered today, it is not worth mentioning."
"People must live a breath of life!"
"Even if you die, you can't let go of your anger, and you can't lose your pride!"
Yi Chen listened silently. He listened very carefully.
But his heart was filled with a sense of sadness that he couldn't get rid of.
Because, my mother's words are like a will before farewell.
When Yi Chen left the secret world of Zhushan, his mind was empty and he was lost.
My mother's words still linger in my ears, echoing for a long time.
Unspeakable grief, bitterness, anger, powerlessness... pounded his mind like turbulent waves.
But finally.
He firmly controlled the almost out-of-control emotions and went on the road alone.
…
after one day.
The boundless sea.
A treasure ship cuts through the waves.
"Is this the boundless sea?"
Yi Chen looked at the scenery he saw along the way.
You can see the endless blue sea, with occasional islands scattered on the sea.
But more importantly, there are all kinds of dangers.
Raging tsunamis cover the sky and the sun, violent rifts in time and space can swallow up an area of the sea, and where the weird gray mist spreads, the sea beasts dormant in the depths of the sea will turn into withered bones...
It's dangerous here!
Not to mention ordinary people, even gods crossing it will encounter unpredictable fatal threats.
However, this treasure ship was very stable all the way, riding the wind and waves, easily passing through various dangerous areas, and never suffered any storms.
The man driving the treasure ship was an ordinary-looking man in gray clothes with a mediocre temperament. If he was thrown into a crowd for safekeeping, no one would notice him.
But Yi Chen knew that the other party was a master!
"I'm sorry for the rudeness of my juniors on this journey. I haven't asked my seniors for their surnames yet."
Yi Chen spoke, breaking the silence on the ship.
It only took one day to leave the Zhushan Secret World, go to the Qilin Chamber of Commerce, and then use the continental teleportation array to travel from the Dongsheng Divine Continent to the Southern Fire Divine Continent until now entering the boundless sea.
From beginning to end, Yi Chen remained silent.
And this was the first time he spoke to the man in gray who was driving the treasure ship.
"Li Sanjiu."
The man in gray is also taciturn and cherishes words like gold.
"Senior Li, how long will it take for us to arrive at Qixia Island?"
Yi Chen asked.
Li Sanjiu said: "Two days."
Yi Chen nodded silently.
He also saw that Li Sanjiu was a man of few words.
He stopped talking and kept silently thinking about his thoughts.
When he thought of his mother Lu Qingmei's situation, he still felt anxious and sad.
And when I think of my father...
There was an indescribable feeling of confusion in his heart.
In the past, he only thought that he was an orphan and that his adoptive mother raised him.
Only now did he suddenly realize that his life experience was so bizarre and absurd.
The adoptive mother became the biological mother.
And his father is Su Yi, who died a long time ago and is now reincarnated.
Yi Chen has learned about some rumors and deeds of "Yi Daoxuan".
He also knew that his mother had become a Taoist couple with Yi Daoxuan, and everyone in the world said that it was his mother who harmed Yi Daoxuan.
Even my mother admitted this herself.
In the past, Yi Chen was just an outsider, and when he learned about these things, he didn't have much feelings.
But now, he is no longer an outsider!
He is the son of Lu Qingmei and Yi Daoxuan!!
His own mother harmed his father.
Now, it is his mother who asks him to seek protection from his father.
For a moment, Yi Chen didn't know how to deal with it!
To the father, the mother is the enemy.
For her mother, she is the murderer of her father. So for herself, where should that strange father be placed in her heart?
All of this is the reason why Yi Chen is at a loss.
He thought of Yu Xun's sarcastic words. Perhaps he was destined to be a tragedy from the moment he was born?
"You're upset."
Suddenly, Li Sanjiu said, "This is a taboo."
Yi Chen was startled, and then said with a complicated expression: "Senior, what do you think, how can you calm down your heart?"
Li Sanjiu glanced at him and said, "If there is any fetter, cut it off. If there is any confusion, break it. When you are unsure about something, just ask yourself and stick to your true self."
A very boring and plain talk.
But it shocked Yi Chen's mind, and he was stunned.
Ask yourself, stick to yourself?
Ask yourself, stick to yourself?
...I repeated this sentence over and over again in my heart. Gradually, the confusion in Yi Chen's expression disappeared, and his eyes became firmer little by little.
He has made a decision!
"Senior, I'd like to trouble you once and send me back."
Yi Chen said calmly.
"go back?"
Li Sanjiu said.
"Yes, go back."
Yi Chen emphasized his tone, with an unquestionable firmness.
He asked himself, could he really watch his mother suffer and do nothing?
cannot!
Just to survive, do you have to seek the protection of a strange father who has no feelings?
cannot!
My mother tried her best to keep herself alive.
But if my mother dies, what’s the point of living?
As for seeking help from that strange father...
Just a stranger.
Not to mention, if the other party still regards his mother as a murderer, how can he possibly help him?
As my mother said, if you ask him yourself... you are asking for trouble and humiliation!
So, Yi Chen decided to go back.
Return to mother.
Even if we die together, there is nothing to regret!
"I'm sorry, but I obey."
Li Sanjiu took out a jade slip and handed it to Yi Chen, "This is your mother's explanation."
Yi Chen took the jade slip and looked at it, and was stunned.
The content of the jade slip is very simple. Lu Qingmei requested the Qilin Chamber of Commerce to send Yi Chen to Qixia Island no matter what.
And it was specifically mentioned that if Yi Chen refuses, he can ignore it!
"It is very easy to seek death."
Li Sanjiu said, "But surviving in adversity... is really difficult."
At this point, Li Sanjiu said nothing more.
Yi Chen held the jade slip tightly and was in a daze.
Two days later.
It was dusk at dusk.
The sunset surges like burning flames in the blue-grey sky, and the light reflects on the sea, creating orange-red waves.
Sprinkled on Qixia Island, the peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains become particularly bright and red.
On the white beach where the waves are lapping, there is a man lying comfortably in a wicker chair, sitting alone on the reef, fishing.
The fiery red sunset reflected on that blue shirt, lengthening his shadow.
From a distance, when Yi Chen, who was standing on the treasure ship, saw Qixia Island bathed in the sunset, he couldn't help but feel a kind of beauty coming to his face.
The clocks of nature are beautiful, and the mountains and seas are picturesque.
And when I saw the figure in blue shirt leisurely fishing at the beach...
Not sure whether it was the sunset that was too dazzling or the sea breeze that was too strong, Yi Chen squinted his eyes and looked away.
Magnificent sunset.
For Yi Chen, it was not that good to meet his father who spanned past and present lives.
