After separating from Xiao Lin, Xiao Chen returned to the courtyard.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen, why was he absent-minded?
"ah?"
Xiao Chen woke up with a start and shook his head.
"Sister Fairy, I... met him today."
"He? Oh, your father?"
Ning Kejun was startled for a moment, then reacted.
Xiao Chen looked at Ning Kejun. He was not used to being called 'your father'. Even Xiao Lin kept saying 'him'.
"Have you met and talked?"
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Well, we just chatted for a few words."
Xiao Chen nodded, without hiding anything from Ning Kejun, and simply explained the process.
"Sister Fairy, I think he not only hid something from me, but also lied to me."
"What about your mother?"
Ning Kejun thought for a while and asked.
"Well, I specifically asked Uncle Qi. He said that my mother died in an accident, and he said that she was seriously ill..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Why don't you think Xiao Lin lied to you?"
Ning Kejun asked rhetorically.
"But I believe that your father lied to you."
"Will Uncle Qi lie to me?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"Why not? Maybe it's a white lie? Don't make any preconceptions and think that he lied to you."
Ning Kejun said softly.
"Aren't we going to meet again tonight? Let's have a good chat this time. He is your father after all, and you should be able to see how much he protects you."
"It wasn't like this back then..."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"You also said that that was back then, and it is already a thing of the past. You can't always be worried about what happened back then. At least you have to give him a chance, right? Maybe, as Xiao Lin said, he
Is there any unavoidable reason, and he can't tell you this reason yet, so he chose to hide it from you."
I would rather you say it seriously.
"Sometimes, when you let others go, you also let yourself go."
"When you let others go, do you also let yourself go?"
Xiao Chen repeated and nodded slowly.
"Sister Fairy, I understand."
"I won't tell you the truth. Everyone knows that if it falls on you, you may not be able to do it... However, I still hope you can let go of what happened back then! Blood is thicker than water, and everyone can change this.
It’s impossible, understand? He is your father after all!”
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen and said softly.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I'll have a good chat with him tonight..."
"Haha, no matter what, I hope you can be happy..."
Ning Kejun said with a smile.
"I will."
Xiao Chen looked at Ning Kejun, and when she smiled, she felt that the whole world was pale!
"Sister Fairy, you are so beautiful."
"Be serious... I'm telling you something serious."
Ning Kejun is a little speechless.
"Oh fine."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. Is there anything Xiaoyu's mother wants to see you and Ling'er for today?"
"Nothing, just a casual chat."
Ning Kejun shook his head.
"Xiaoyu's mother also hopes that you can put aside your prejudices and reconcile with your father... She said that your father's life has not been easy these years."
"Does she know something?"
Xiao Chen's heart moved and he asked.
"Probably don't know."
Ning Kejun shook his head.
"Don't think about knowing anything from her, she is Xiao Yu's mother."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and didn't think more about it.
The sky gradually became dark.
"Brother Chen, are you busy tonight? Xiaoyu asked us to go to town for a drink, will you go?"
They appeared in the white night and asked.
"I'm not going, you can go."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Okay, let's go then."
Bai Ye nodded and the group left.
Xiao Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. Will he... look for him tonight?
He was a little looking forward to it, but also a little... nervous.
About half an hour later, the sound of footsteps was heard.
"Young Master, the master of the house invites you to go to Xiantian Pavilion."
A man came in and said to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at this man, he was Xiao Sheng's confidant, and he finally came.
"Well, I understand. I'll be there in a moment. You can go back first."
"OK."
The man nodded and left.
"Go ahead."
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen and said to him.
"Remember, no matter what, he is your father. Don't do anything you shouldn't do."
Hearing Ning Kejun's words, Xiao Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "What can I do? Is it possible that I can beat him?"
"That's not a big deal, just keep your temper down."
Ning Kejun shook his head.
"Well, I understand, Sister Fairy, then I'll go."
Xiao Chen nodded, stood up and walked out.
A few minutes later, he arrived at Xiantian Pavilion and saw Xiao Sheng had arrived.
Xiao Chen paused and walked over.
"coming."
Xiao Sheng turned his head, looked at Xiao Chen, and smiled.
"sit down."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, but he did not sit down, but stood there.
"You used to like to go to the waterfall the most, and I like to go to Xiantian Pavilion the most. Do you know why?"
Xiao Sheng stood with his hands behind his hands and asked.
"have no idea."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"How's the view?"
"Well, Xiantian Pavilion can see most of Xiaoshan Mountain, and you can also see the waterfall... Look there."
Xiao Sheng said, pointing in one direction.
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen was startled and followed his hand and looked over.
Although it was already dark, he still saw the waterfall, the waterfall and the pool, shining brightly in the moonlight.
Xiao Chen looked at the waterfall and thought of Xiao Sheng's words. His heart was shocked and he seemed to understand something.
Could it be that...he used to look at me here?
"When you were a child, your intuition was very keen. Sometimes you seemed to be able to detect something when I was here."
Xiao Sheng also looked in the direction of the waterfall and chuckled, seemingly lost in memories.
Xiao Chen frowned. He thought about it carefully. It seemed that yes, he often felt like he was being stared at... He looked around and found nothing.
He had forgotten about this matter, and only remembered it now after Xiao Sheng reminded him.
In other words, his guess just now was true. When he was a child, Xiao Sheng would often look at him here.
"Later, I had no choice but to stop staring at you, otherwise you wouldn't even go..."
Xiao Sheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Chen.
"In a blink of an eye, many years have passed, and the child practicing martial arts under the waterfall has grown up."
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen trembled slightly and clenched his fists.
"Haha, I'm getting old too."
Xiao Sheng smiled and pointed to the stone bench.
"Sit down, let us two... have a nice chat."
Xiao Chen said nothing and sat on the stone bench.
Xiao Sheng also sat down: "I asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food. Tonight...have some drinks with me?"
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded.
“Do you know why this place is called ‘Xiantian Pavilion’?”
Suddenly, Xiao Sheng asked.
"Why?"
Xiao Chen asked subconsciously.
"It is said that an ancestor of the Xiao family was looking at the scenery in this pavilion, and suddenly he had an enlightenment and entered the innate world!"
Xiao Sheng said with a smile.
"Since then, this pavilion has been called 'Xiantian Pavilion'."
"So that's it."
Xiao Chen nodded. He knew this place when he was a child, but he didn't know why it was called this place.
"The Xiao family has been passed down for a long time. Even among the twelve generations of families, it is considered the oldest family... But I didn't expect that it would decline in my hands and become the lowest ranked existence. Speaking of which, it is also my fault.
"
Xiao Sheng sighed and said softly.
"I heard that when you took over as the head of the family, the Xiao family was experiencing internal and external troubles. It was the most critical time. It was not easy for you to keep the Xiao family alive."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Sheng and said.
"After all, there is no big achievement. I hope Alin can help the Xiao family rise."
When Xiao Sheng said this, he looked at Xiao Chen.
"I believe in him and I believe in you."
"I went to see Uncle Qi."
Xiao Chen felt that it was time to talk about business.
"He said that my mother died in an accident."
"You think I lied to you?"
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"He has been traveling outside for these years. Even if he comes back, he can't stay for a few days. There are some things that he doesn't know... Your mother is seriously ill. If it was really an accident, how could I not tell you."
"Sure?"
Xiao Chen stared into Xiao Sheng's eyes and asked again.
"Sure."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
Xiao Chen didn't say anything anymore. Could it be that Uncle Qi was wrong?
He shouldn't lie to himself about this kind of thing.
Xiao Sheng took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Send it up."
Then he hung up the phone.
"I asked them to bring wine and food, and we chatted while eating... I have been dreaming about it for many years, and one day, I didn't expect it to come true."
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile.
Xiao Chen said nothing.
"When things happen with the Xiao family, do you have any plans?"
Xiao Sheng asked.
"Go to the Duanmu Family."
Xiao Chen didn't hide it either, he was going to trouble Duanmu Hai.
"Duanmu Family? Yes, you had a conflict with Duanmu Hai..."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"I won't stop you, but you have to be careful. Every family has its own secrets."
"I know."
When Xiao Chen said this, he looked at Xiao Sheng.
"What state are you in?"
"The peak of the late stage of Huajin."
Xiao Sheng replied.
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Is this really the peak of the late stage of energy transformation?
Seeing Xiao Chen's reaction, Xiao Sheng thought to himself, I'm really not lying to you, the normal state... is the peak of the late stage of Huajin.
"Old fortune teller, did you know you were going to the Duanmu Family?"
"Know."
"OK."
Xiao Sheng nodded, the old fortune teller must have made some arrangements.
Furthermore, with Xiao Chen's current strength, there should be no problem.
Soon, someone came up with a food box, opened it, and placed the food and wine on the table.
After they set up the food and wine, Xiao Sheng waved his hand and said, "You guys should step aside first."
"yes."
Several people bowed and left.
Xiao Sheng picked up the jug and poured wine for Xiao Chen: "Come on, have a taste. You can't drink it outside. It's brewed by the Xiao family."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and picked up the wine glass. The wine was light amber in color and looked very mellow.
"I'll give you a toast."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Sheng was startled, and then smiled: "Haha, okay, okay, come on, let's do it."
