After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Sheng was silent for a long time and shook his head.
Xiao Chen frowned when he saw Xiao Sheng's actions: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"There is no reason for it. I was wrong back then."
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"What you see is everything. I don't ask for your forgiveness. I just hope... that you can return to the Xiao family!"
"I told you that you didn't keep me when I left. Now you just want me to return to the Xiao family. Why?"
Xiao Chen's voice was a bit colder.
"At that time, it was better for you to leave than to stay...at least, if you left, your safety would be guaranteed."
Xiao Sheng said seriously.
"Huh, you mean that you asked me to leave the Xiao family just to save my life? So, how much more do I have to thank you for saving my life?"
Xiao Chen sneered.
Xiao Sheng shook his head: "I didn't mean that. I was just telling you that back then... it was the best choice for you to leave the Xiao family."
"I'm asking one last time. I want to know what happened back then."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Sheng still shook his head, he wouldn't say it.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, I will check it myself... Let me ask you again, is my mother still alive?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Sheng and asked.
"No more."
Xiao Sheng hesitated and said.
"No more?"
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen trembled.
"How come she...isn't there?"
"It has nothing to do with the Xiao family. It is a serious illness."
Xiao Sheng replied.
"Then...where is she buried?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"Why isn't it buried in the Xiao family?"
"At her request, she stayed in her school, and her school was in an independent space. Later, that independent space collapsed."
Xiao Sheng said to Xiao Chen.
"Collapse of space?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's body trembled again.
He has experienced the collapse of space, and everything will be wiped out.
In other words, no bones remain?
Just when he was about to ask something more, there was movement.
"Xiaoyu is back. I'm leaving first. We'll talk about it in the evening..."
Xiao Sheng glanced at the people coming and going, and after speaking to Xiao Chen, his figure swayed, hidden in the mountains and forests nearby, and quickly disappeared.
Xiao Chen looked at the direction in which Xiao Sheng disappeared and frowned. He was so fast?
What is his strength?
Could it be that he has hidden his strength?
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen thought of what Xiao Sheng had just said, the space collapsed and no bones remained.
No wonder when he was a child, he visited the entire back mountain cemetery and never saw his mother's tomb.
At that time, no one answered him as to where his mother was, whether she was alive or dead.
Although he had already made a guess, getting the exact answer from Xiao Sheng still made him feel quite uneasy.
Even if we don't get along or meet her, she is his mother after all.
Now that I know that she is no longer here, it can be regarded as a break from my thoughts.
"Brother, I'm back."
Just when Xiao Chen was thinking blindly, Xiao Yu came back.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yu noticed that something seemed wrong with Xiao Chen and asked.
"nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head, put away his messy thoughts, and looked at the direction Xiao Sheng left.
"Xiaoyu, let's start."
"good."
Xiao Yu nodded.
"Brother, what are you teaching me today?"
"You also use a knife, right? Let me teach you a knife technique."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said to Xiao Yu.
"Ah? But I forgot to bring the knife..."
Xiao Yu frowned.
"Haha, I have plenty here."
Xiao Chen said, took out seven or eight knives from the bone ring and threw them on the ground.
"See if there is anything you can use. If not, I still have some here."
"..."
Xiao Yu looked at the knife on the ground. He was speechless and at the same time very envious. He carried a treasure bag with him and had everything.
He chose a knife and waved it a few times: "That's it."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded, randomly selected a knife, and then put away the other knives.
"Look carefully, let me demonstrate it to you first."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Yu cheered up and looked carefully.
Xiao Chen took the knife and began to demonstrate. The light of the knife flashed and the wind roared.
At the same time, Xiao Sheng, who left the waterfall, found Xiao Lin.
"What? Did you see Xiao Chen just now?"
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Lin's eyes widened and he looked him up and down.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Sheng frowned when he saw Xiao Lin's actions.
"Let me see if he hits you."
Xiao Lin replied.
"..."
Xiao Sheng was a little speechless.
"You don't look hurt. What, what were you talking about?"
Xiao Lin withdrew his gaze and asked curiously.
"We didn't talk about much, just a few words."
Xiao Sheng shook his head.
"Alin, I came to see you because I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
Xiao Lin was curious.
"He asked me what happened back then. Did you say anything to him?"
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Lin and asked.
"Well, no, I just want him not to blame you. In fact, you also have your own difficulties."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"Don't talk nonsense to him. That kid will probably come to you. Then, you must not talk any more, okay?"
Xiao Sheng warned.
"Yeah, I know it well."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"I just said that I wasn't there at the time and I didn't know the specifics."
"Well, now he knows too much, which is not a good thing for him."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"Although he is strong now, but... it's not enough."
"You are leaving the Xiao family, are you going?"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Sheng, thought of something, and asked.
"You said he is not enough, what about you? Are you going to die?"
"Whether I die or not, I have to go... In the past, I couldn't leave because of the Xiao family, but it's different now."
Xiao Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Don't mind my business, just take care of the Xiao family."
"..."
Xiao Lin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say much.
"By the way, that kid even asked me about his mother."
Xiao Sheng thought of something and said.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Xiao Lin was startled and asked quickly.
"Did you tell him? No, if you had told him, you wouldn't have come to me."
"Didn't say."
Xiao Sheng shook his head.
"He asked me if his mother was still there, and I said she wasn't."
"Otherwise? What can I say? Only by saying that he is no longer here can we cut off his thoughts and not disrupt his current life."
Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly.
"Tell me, what would he do if he knew the truth?"
"Well, that's right."
Xiao Lin scratched his head.
"It's very troublesome, I can't say."
"So I can only lie to him for the time being. As for the future... we will talk about the future later."
Xiao Sheng said slowly.
"Have you ever thought that one day he will know the truth and that you lied to him... He will never forgive you."
Xiao Lin looked at him and said seriously.
"Sigh... well, let's talk about it. It's not certain whether I will be there or not the day he finds out the truth."
Xiao Sheng sighed and said softly.
"..."
Xiao Lin frowned.
"Okay, don't try to persuade me. There are some things I have to do... It's already been many years too late. After all, being late is better than doing nothing!"
Xiao Sheng seemed to know what Xiao Lin was going to say and waved his hand.
"Even if it takes my life, I won't regret it."
"Then when can I tell him?"
Xiao Lin thought for a while and asked.
"When he is born, or...I die."
Xiao Sheng hesitated and said.
"I see."
Xiao Lin nodded. In fact, he was not very clear about some things.
But he knew that there were some things that he should do even if his life was in danger.
Therefore, he could not persuade Xiao Sheng, even if he wanted to stop it.
"Okay, you can go about your business. Anyway, if he comes to see you, you know what to say."
Xiao Sheng planned to leave.
"Oh, and also, he asked why his mother was not buried in the Xiao family. I said she was buried in her master's space. Later, that space collapsed."
"You...you are quite thoughtful in your lies."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Sheng and was speechless.
The most difficult thing about lying is to tell a lie. A lie requires countless lies to tell a lie.
Xiao Sheng's situation was better. The space immediately collapsed and no bones remained... In this case, even if Xiao Chen wanted to take a look, he couldn't. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to tell lies anymore!
Clothes!
Xiao Lin was really convinced.
"No, brother, how did you do it? When he asked you, you could immediately come up with such a lie?"
Xiao Lin humbly asked for advice, but if it were him, he wouldn't be able to do it.
"You can do it after being the head of the family for a long time. I believe in you."
Xiao Sheng smiled, patted Xiao Lin's shoulder, turned and left.
"..."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Sheng's back and was speechless.
"Brother, are you and Xiaochen finished seeing each other? No more?"
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Sheng paused and turned around: "I have an appointment with him tonight. Let's talk about it then. Do you want to come?"
"I won't go. I'm afraid I won't cooperate well when you lie..."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"..."
Xiao Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, waved his hand and walked away.
"Originally...but I hope you and your son can reconcile."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Sheng walking further and further away and muttered.
Then, he turned around and got busy.
Two hours later, Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu stopped under the waterfall.
"Have you mastered it?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yu and asked.
"Yeah, okay."
Xiao Yu nodded.
"Brother, how did you do that big sword that's several meters long? That one looks very cool."
"Xuanyuan Zhan? Haha, I named it myself."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I can't teach you that right now. It was taught to me by a senior. It cannot be passed on to others without his permission... Furthermore, you won't be able to use it. You have to wait until you are at least half innate."
"Oh, okay."
Xiao Yu was helpless.
"Am I half-innate? I guess it will take at least ten or twenty years."
"How old are you? You can achieve half-step innateness in ten or twenty years. You are already a super monster in the ancient martial arts world... Look at Uncle Qi, isn't he only at the peak of the middle stage of transformation?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Brother, if you say that to Uncle Qi, won't he hit you?"
Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Chen.
"Qilinzi, when it comes to your mouth, it seems to be very bad."
"Haha, okay, that's it for today."
Xiao Chen laughed a few times, it was just bad, and I wasn’t wrong.
