Tang Lian was also a knowledgeable person, not an ordinary citizen. She immediately realized what was going on.
There are many rules in the ancient martial arts world. When traveling outside, the first thing is not to reveal the secrets of the sect. Sometimes you are not even allowed to mention the origin of your apprenticeship, to prevent unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, she could understand why her son had kept the matter of apprenticeship a secret and never mentioned it.
However, when he said it again at this moment, Tang Lian couldn't help but hesitate: "So... now you..."
Of course Ye Xingyu knew what she wanted to say, so he explained: "I am telling you this now without Master's consent, but you are my biological mother after all. I can't hide it from you forever, and I have to confess to you in the end.
"
There is a certain truth in what he said. Paper cannot contain fire, but gold must always shine. Unless he never uses his ability, then Tang Lian will not find out that there is something wrong with his son.
Once Ye Xingyu does something unbelievable, Tang Lian, as a mother, must pursue the matter. Failure to tell the truth will put a burden on Tang Lian's heart, which may lead to suspicion and illness.
Moreover, Ye Xingyu's words had another purpose, to induce Tang Lian to reveal his secret.
Since your son has confessed everything to you, even going against the teacher's orders, no matter what difficulties you have, you should reveal them, right?
Of course, Tang Lian's emotions have not yet calmed down, and he has no time to think about it. He only cares about the information his son said.
Ye Xingyu held his mother's hand and deliberately warned: "What I just said, it's fine that you know and I know. Don't tell anyone else, even Xue Qing, it's best not to say it!"
"I understand this, you don't need to explain it!" Tang Lian nodded repeatedly, and then asked, "Lord Martial God, where are you now?"
Ye Xingyu made nonsense: "His whereabouts are uncertain. The dragon has seen its head but not its tail. I don't know where he is."
The whereabouts of Wu Shenhua's magical power has always been an unsolved mystery. I'm afraid everyone will be curious, and Tang Lian is no exception.
But Ye Xingyu couldn't tell the truth, at least he couldn't say that the God of War was dead, so he could only make up his mind by saying, "The dragon has seen its head but not its tail."
After all, Hua Shentong was already invincible in the world back then, no one could kill him, and the lifespan of an innate strong person must be at least more than a hundred years. Hua Shentong is still under sixty years old, so it is impossible for him to ride a crane and return to the west.
After being shocked and excited, Tang Lian gradually calmed down and slowly sat back on the bed.
Ye Xingyu stared into his mother's eyes and said seriously: "Mom, let's talk about you, I want to hear it!"
This time, Tang Lian didn't hide it anymore, and finally revealed the secret in his heart, telling his son everything.
It turns out that Tang Lian is indeed a member of the Tang family in Sichuan, but his martial arts qualifications are very ordinary and he is not valued in the clan.
Ye Xingyu's father, named Ye Bugui, is one of the most dazzling geniuses of the Bashan Yesh clan and has been receiving intensive training.
Perhaps it was God's deliberate arrangement that the young and beautiful Tang Lian met the romantic Ye Bugui. The latter fell in love with the former at first sight and stalked her like a dog-skin plaster, launching a passionate pursuit.
Of course, children in the world are informal and have few scruples when they are young and frivolous. At that time, the two of them did not know each other's origins. Even if they found out later, they were already inseparable and it was difficult to separate.
The two deliberately forgot each other's identities, and secretly dated each other without telling their respective families. They even had a relationship, and Tang Lian became pregnant as a result.
When the unmarried Tang Lian became pregnant, the matter could no longer be concealed, prompting questioning from her family, but of course Tang Lian refused to tell the truth.
So, the clan sent people to spy on him secretly, and found that Tang Lian secretly ran out and had a private tryst with Ye Bugui.
Soon after, Ye Bugui's identity and origins were also thoroughly discovered by the Tang family, and they finally figured out who was responsible for the child in Tang Lian's belly.
Among the four great hermit families, the Tang family and the Ye family had long-standing grievances and the deepest conflicts. They disliked each other, so naturally they would not intermarry.
Now that something like this happened, the Tang family felt ashamed and locked up the pregnant Tang Lian, not allowed to leave the house, and even persuaded her to abort the fetus in her belly.
Ye Bugui, who often stayed nearby, received a stern warning from the Tang family and was not allowed to bother Tang Lian again.
Later, the Ye family also received news that Ye Bugui had fallen in love with a woman from the Tang family. However, their approach was exactly the same as the Tang family, and they also expressed their attitude and prevented the two from interacting with each other.
As a key training target in the clan, Ye Bugui attracted a lot of attention. The elders did not want to see him distracted by his children's personal affairs, leading to the ruin of martial arts, so they recalled him to the Ye family and restricted his going out, hoping to use this to make him more capable.
He forgot about Tang Lian.
Although Ye Bugui was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to return to his clan and practice in seclusion.
On the other hand, Tang Lian, who refused to abort her child, eventually gave birth to Ye Xingyu and became a single mother, staying at the Tang family without leaving home.
A pair of lovers who truly loved each other were torn apart by their parents, making it difficult for them to see each other again.
A few years passed by, and Ye Bugui, who never mentioned Tang Lian, finally came out of seclusion. His strength improved greatly, he gained the trust of his family, and he was able to leave home to practice again.
The Tang family also gradually neglected to take precautions. Thinking that the soft-eared Tang Lian no longer had other ideas, they lifted the restrictions on her freedom.
This gave Ye Bugui and Tang Lian a chance to meet again.
Ye Bugui, who had been lurking near Tangjiabao, finally waited until Tang Lian went out. After some persuasion, he eloped with her.
The two lost contact at the same time and disappeared, which quickly alarmed the two major families. They each sent people to investigate, but they could never find any trace of them.
This incident further intensified the conflict between the two ancient martial arts families and caused a dispute.
The Tang family blamed the Ye family, saying that Ye Bugui abducted Tang Lian.
But the Ye family counterattacked, saying that Tang Lian had seduced Ye Buji.
The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the quarrel was very tense, and they almost started fighting.
In the end, after many mediations and some pressure from imperial officials, the matter slowly calmed down.
Ye Xingyu didn't know about this matter because he was still young at the time, less than five years old, and adults wouldn't explain it in detail to a child like him, so he had no relevant memories.
After Tang Lian left, Xiao Xingyu, who had lost his mother, was taken care of by his uncle, Tang Lian's brother Tang Zhuo.
A few years later, the two people who had eloped were accidentally discovered. The angry Tang family immediately sent out several young masters of the new generation to prepare to capture the two of them.
At this time, Tang Lian already had a second child, a baby girl, who is now Ye Xueqing.
