After leaving the waterfall, Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"tonight?"
Xiao Chen thought of what Xiao Sheng said and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I may have something going on tonight, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. If you have nothing to do, just find a place to drink."
Xiao Yu shook his head.
"Brother, if you have something to do, just go ahead and do it."
"Well, you can find Xiaobai and the others. I have something to do tonight."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"good."
Xiao Yu agreed.
"Okay, you go back first. If you have nothing to do, study the sword skills and footwork I taught you. Especially the footwork, it can save your life in critical moments."
Xiao Chen warned.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely practice more."
Xiao Yu nodded and left.
After Xiao Yu left, Xiao Chen did not go back, but went to find Xiao Lin.
There were some things that Xiao Sheng didn't want to talk about, so he planned to ask Xiao Lin.
When Xiao Lin saw Xiao Chen coming, his heart skipped a beat, and he really made sure that his father had come to him.
"Boy, why are you here? Is something wrong? If nothing happens, just go and do whatever you want. I'm busy right now."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and wanted to send him away.
"Uncle Qi, I have something to ask you."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Ah? There's something wrong, okay."
Xiao Lin had no choice but to say that something was going on and he couldn't drive people away anymore.
"Come on, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
"good."
Xiao Chen agreed.
After sitting down, the maid brought tea. Xiao Lin picked it up and took a slow sip. He went through what Xiao Sheng told him again in his mind. Only then did he feel that he was prepared and there should be no flaws.
.
"Xiaochen, why are you here to see Uncle Qi?"
Xiao Lin put down his tea cup and asked.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin, a little strange. Uncle Qi seemed weird today?
However, he didn't think much about it: "Uncle Qi, didn't you tell me not to blame him? Did he have any difficulties back then? I want to know what difficulties he had."
"Well, this..."
Xiao Lin was a little speechless. Why did he go straight to the topic as soon as he started talking?
"Actually, I'm not very clear about what happened back then. Didn't I go out on a trip? When I came back, you had already left the Xiao family."
"Uncle Qi, then you must know something to tell me that, right?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"Then, I feel that as a father, you can't care about the life and death of your own son, right? He didn't care about you at the time and asked you to leave the Xiao family. He must have had difficulties..."
Xiao Lin said this and took another sip of tea.
"Xiaochen, as a human being, we have to look forward. It's pointless to pursue what happened back then... Do you think that when you come back this time, has he done what a father should do? Even if Xiao Mian was there at that time
,Ahem, the Fifth Patriarch said that he would be deprived of his position as head of the family, but he doesn’t care and wants to protect you.”
"..."
Xiao Chen thought of the scene a few days ago, and he was quite shocked at that time.
He never thought that Xiao Sheng would protect him even if he split the Xiao family for him.
It was precisely what happened at that time that he didn't know how to face Xiao Sheng.
"Think about it, this time he risked his life to protect you. He didn't care about you back then. He must have had difficult reasons. Otherwise, why would there be such a big difference between the two times, right?"
Xiao Lin said seriously.
"Uncle Qi, you really don't know?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and asked again.
"I really don't know. After I returned to Xiao's house, I heard what happened and went to see him... At that time, I found that he was also in pain. He told me that he had difficulties, but what was the specific reason?
I don’t know.”
Xiao Lin shook his head and said irresponsibly.
He felt that he should leave the matter to Xiao Sheng first. As for how Xiao Sheng told Xiao Chen, it had nothing to do with him.
You can even talk about the collapse of space, just make up something to deal with Xiao Chen, Xiao Sheng should be able to do it!
"Then you didn't ask again?"
Xiao Chen didn’t give up.
"I asked, but he didn't say anything. What can I do? Let's not talk about whether I can beat him. Even if I can beat him, I don't dare to beat him. He is the head of the Xiao family, right?
"
Xiao Lin felt that if you talk less, you will make fewer mistakes. If you don't say anything, it is good. Let Xiao Sheng talk about everything.
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen thought: "Uncle Qi, what kind of strength is he?"
"What strength? It should be the peak of the late stage of Huajin, right?"
Xiao Lin thought for a while and said.
"What's wrong?"
"The peak of the late stage of Huajin?"
Xiao Chen frowned, he felt that Xiao Sheng should be more than the peak of the late stage of energy transformation!
If Hua Jin reached his peak in the late stage, it would be impossible to hide it in the dark. It would take a long time for him to discover it!
Furthermore, because of the cultivation techniques, he can still sense the realm of the ancient warriors.
Especially for people who are not as strong as him, his perception is generally not wrong.
Although the peak of Huajin in the late stage is higher than him in terms of realm, his current combat power is not that of Huajin, so he can still feel it.
But he couldn't feel Xiao Sheng!
This doesn't allow him to stop thinking about it!
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Actually, he is also very talented. It's just that in these years, because he was in charge of the Xiao family, he delayed his cultivation. Otherwise, there would be no problem with Dzogchen."
"Uncle Qi, have you ever seen him take action?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked.
"It's been a long time. He didn't do anything in the past two days."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"how?"
"I think he has hidden his strength, not just the peak of his late stage strength."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Hmm? Hiding his strength? Has he achieved Dzogchen?"
Xiao Lin's eyes widened.
"Can't? Why hide his strength? The stronger he is, the stronger his control over the Xiao family will be!"
"I don't know either, this is just my guess."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"It's also possible that my guess was wrong."
"I think you are wrong. He has no reason to hide his strength."
Xiao Lin said to Xiao Chen.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Uncle Qi, my mother...is gone?"
"Yes, no more."
Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Chen, nodded, and sighed.
"Well, you asked me several times before, and I don't know how to tell you. After all, you were still young at that time..."
"Why wasn't she buried in the Xiao family?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"This...I don't know very well. I wasn't at the Xiao family at the time."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"If you want to know, you can ask him...he started to take care of these things."
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless. If I could ask him, why would I ask you? Isn't this because I want to know if he lied?
Xiao Lin also muttered in his heart, what should I say, I should leave the lying matter to one person.
"Then what, Xiaochen, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will go and get busy first... Your seventh uncle and I are busy now, and we are not as free as before."
Xiao Lin was afraid that Xiao Chen would ask more questions, so he was ready to leave.
"Oh, come to think of it, it was you who pushed me into the fire pit."
"Haha, it's a good thing that Uncle Qi is in charge of the Xiao family. I also believe in Uncle Qi's ability."
Xiao Chen smiled and stood up.
"Okay, then I won't disturb Uncle Qi and leave first."
"Okay, let's go, let's go."
Xiao Lin nodded and was about to leave.
"By the way, Uncle Qi, how did my mother... die back then?"
Before Xiao Chen left, he thought of something and asked again.
"How did you die?"
Xiao Lin was startled, a little confused, how did he die? My elder brother didn't say anything just now, how should I answer?
"Yes, how did you die?"
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Xiao Lin.
"It seems like...an accident? Yes, an accident."
Xiao Lin hesitated and said something unexpected.
He thought it was good to say accident. This word meant too much. When the time came, Xiao Sheng could just find an 'accident' and be able to cope with it.
"Accident?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"What accident?"
"I won't ask about this. If you want to know, you can ask him... Xiaochen, you are back. It's time to have a good chat with him. After all, you are father and son, right?"
Xiao Lin patted Xiao Chen's shoulder.
"Okay, I'll get busy first."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, watched Xiao Lin go away, and narrowed his eyes.
Accident?
Is serious illness an accident?
Doesn't count.
Who deceived himself?
After walking far away, Xiao Lin took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Sheng.
"Alin."
Xiao Sheng's voice came from the receiver.
"Brother, you are right, that boy came to see me just now."
Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Xiao Sheng asked.
"I just don't understand when I ask three questions. If I say less, I will make less mistakes. If I don't say anything, it's good... I just dealt with a few words and got over it."
Xiao Lin was a little proud, I was so clever.
"That's good……"
Xiao Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two chatted for a while, Xiao Lin was about to hang up the phone: "Oh, by the way, brother, there is something I have to remind you. Xiaochen asked her why her mother died, and I said it was an accident... As for what
I didn’t say anything about the accident, I’ll make it up when you see it.”
"..."
There was no movement from Xiao Sheng's side.
"What's wrong, brother? There are many accidents, such as car accidents, this and that, it's not difficult to make one up."
Seeing that Xiao Sheng was silent, Xiao Lin helped with advice.
"I told him that he died of a serious illness..."
Xiao Sheng said quietly.
"ah?"
Xiao Lin's eyes widened. Damn it.
"What, is serious illness an accident?"
"What do you think?"
Xiao Sheng's breathing was a little difficult.
"No, this kid is nothing. You told him that he was seriously ill, but he still came to ask me?"
Xiao Lin stared.
"Okay, hang up... I have to think about how to connect your accident with your serious illness."
After Xiao Sheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Xiao Lin scratched his head, how the hell can he be contacted?
What disease is an accident?
"This little brat..."
Xiao Lin muttered, forget it, let Xiao Sheng have a headache, who told him not to tell him before!
"Boy, Uncle Qi didn't mean to lie to you. These are all white lies. You are still too weak now. We are all doing this for your own good..."
After saying this, Xiao Lin thought about Xiao Chen's death and then thought about his own strength. Alas, I can't stand it anymore.
