Night falls quietly, with stars dotted on the night sky. A crescent moon is cool in the mirror, and the moonlight passes through the cover of dense leaves and falls in the woods.
Next to a large tree with dense leaves by the stream, Ye Chen and others were sparsely sitting around the tree, while several secret guards stood among the treetops, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
The Wasteland looked even more gloomy at night, with roars of monsters coming from time to time, and the strong smell of blood still lingering in the air.
At this moment, the sound of crackling sounded from the fire. Ye Chen and others were leaning against the tree pole, breathing calmly. They were obviously practicing. After a short treatment, Ye Chen also recovered a little strength, but the injury
Still, it would not recover for ten days and a half. Regarding this, Ye Chen was quite helpless.
Lone Star was sitting on the treetop, looking extremely lazy, squinting his eyes slightly, looking around from time to time, fearing that those men in black would suddenly attack.
Lone Star looked down from time to time, glancing at Ye Wan'er sitting on the ground, with a loving look in his eyes.
Ye Wan'er's injury was not serious. After a short rest, she was fine. She sat there blankly, holding her chin with her hands, staring at Ye Chen thoughtfully.
The crackling sound continued, and Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flickering. The injury this time was really beyond his expectation. He climbed up while holding on to the tree pole. When he noticed Ye Wan'er's gaze, he frowned slightly and said calmly: "Is something wrong?" See you.
Ye Chen suddenly spoke, and Ye Wan'er's face flashed with a hint of crimson. She lowered her head, fiddled with the corners of her clothes, and said softly: "Well, I'm sorry!"
Sorry? Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said calmly: "Yeah!"
"I shouldn't have been like that before, I really shouldn't have been like that!" Ye Wan'er's fragrant shoulders trembled slightly, and her somewhat suppressed sobs sounded in the quiet forest.
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes around him, Ye Chen walked straight over with a calm expression, patted Ye Wan'er's shoulder gently, and said softly: "I know!"
After saying that, Ye Chen turned around and walked back to his original position, closed his eyes tightly again, and entered into practice. Ye Chen didn't know Ye Waner's regret, but could he go back to the past with just an apology? There were cracks in the mirror, no matter what
Repair, that crack has always existed, and it was destined that the relationship between the two would never be the same three years ago.
The moment Ye Chen turned around, a few lines of clear tears dripped down the corners of Ye Wan'er's eyes, wiping away the tears that were about to fall. She bit her red lips lightly and looked at Ye Chen blankly.
The surrounding Ye family disciples all sighed sadly, shook their heads, and looked at Ye Wan'er with pity. Sometimes some mistakes are irreversible.
"Ye Chen, this kid actually treats Wan'er like this!" Lone Star stood up from the treetops, frowning slightly, and immediately jumped from the tree hill to the ground. Feeling the fire energy in Ye Chen's body, he spoke after a while:
"An Qi, how are your injuries? If you can still walk, come with me!" After saying this, he turned around and walked forward without waiting for Ye Chen to respond.
"Oh!" He responded softly, stood up, and patted the dust on his knees. Ye Chen followed Lone Star closely, and their figures disappeared into the surrounding lush jungle.
A few moments later, Lone Star's figure stopped on a hillside. Under the moonlight, that figure looked indescribably lonely.
He jumped with both feet and jumped beside Lone Star. Looking along Lone Star's line of sight, there was a jungle below, from which the roars of several monsters could be heard intermittently.
"Captain, what do you want to do with me?" Ye Chen closed his eyes again, and his Qi flowed through his fingertips, constantly controlling the Qi to change into different shapes. This was also Ye Chen's way to practice his Qi control skills.
"Well! An Qi, the map is in your hands now!" He put his hands behind his back, his long black hair flowing in the wind, turned his head, and Lone Star smiled at Ye Chen.
"Well, I have the half of the map in Ye Tian's hand and the one in Ye Qian's hand. Why, the captain wants it?" His heart tightened. Ye Chen rarely opened his eyes and looked at the lone star.
, this map is related to the Sword Tomb. If Huo Qilin hadn't explained it in advance, Ye Chen wouldn't have cared so much.
"Haha, no!" Lone Star shook his head and smiled: "As the next head of the family, you are naturally qualified to keep that map, and your strength is not weak!"
"Do you know that place?" After a pause, Lone Star suddenly pointed to the front of the hillside and asked Ye Chen.
Looking in the direction pointed by the lone star, there was still a jungle, but it was much more lush than the jungle just now. Shaking his head, Ye Chen smiled and said: "I don't know!"
"Every night, I like to stand on a high place and look in this direction!" There was a hint of reminiscence in Lone Star's eyes, and he looked calmly ahead. At the same time, several geese calls suddenly sounded.
, rows of wild geese flew into the distance, and the sound of the wild geese drowned out the roar of the monsters below the jungle.
"That place, haha, you must be familiar with it. That direction is where Luoxia City is located, and it is also where the Ye family is located.
." When Lone Star talked about Luoxia City, Ye Chen obviously felt the yearning in Lone Star's words. Despite the doubts in his heart, Ye Chen always remained silent and stood aside quietly.
"Thirteen years ago, I left that place! I really miss that place. Haha, as I get older, I just feel a little more emotional!" Lone Star suddenly said this, and Ye Chen chuckled. He had just arrived at the middle school
Even though he was old, Lone Star also chuckled: "Let's call you Ye Chen! An Qi, this name is a bit difficult to pronounce!"
"Ye Chen, can you promise me something?" Lone Star paused, staring at Ye Chen. After seeing Ye Chen nodding slightly, he continued: "Even if you are pretending, don't be so cold to Wan'er.
, after all, she was still young and ignorant at that time!"
His eyes changed slightly. Ye Chenruo looked at Lone Star with deep meaning. He originally thought that he was looking for him because of the map, but unexpectedly it was because of Ye Wan'er! Moreover, Ye Chen could also feel Lone Xing's eyes looking at Ye Wan'er.
It's a bit weird, like the look in the eyes of a loving father looking at his daughter. Could it be that Lone Star is Ye Wan'er's daughter?
Ye Chen clearly remembered that he had never met Ye Wan'er's father in the Ye family for more than seven years. He had also asked Ye Wan'er before, but Ye Wan'er had only a vague understanding of him.
Sensing the surprise in Ye Chen's eyes, Lone Star smiled and said, "Wan'er is my daughter!"
Although he had already guessed it, he was still a little unbelievable. Rubbing his forehead, Ye Chen muttered: "No wonder I haven't heard Ye Wan'er talk about you before!"
"Boy, logically speaking, you should call me cousin!" Seeing Ye Chen accept the news after just a few breaths, Lone Star couldn't help but flash a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Cousin? In terms of seniority, the lone star in front of him was really his cousin. Ye Chen reluctantly called out: "Cousin!"
"But, doesn't Ye Wan'er know that you are his father?" Now that Lone Star and Ye Wan'er have met each other, Ye Chen asked in confusion whether Ye Wan'er didn't recognize Lone Star.
"Alas!" There was a sigh from Lone Star in the evening wind, and the whistling sound of the wind resounded in his ears. After a few moments of silence, Lone Star raised his head, with a trace of guilt on his face; "She is indeed
I don’t know, but since I joined the Secret Guards in thirteen years, I have never returned to the Ye family. This is the first time I have seen her in thirteen years, and the same is true for her!"
Haven't seen each other for thirteen years? Even though Ye Chen knew that after joining the Dark Guard, he could no longer use his name unless he left the Dark Guard, Ye Chen was still surprised.
"Isn't it strange?" Lone Star took out a bottle of wine from his arms, raised his head and drank it, the guilt in his eyes became thicker, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he said: "In the past thirteen years, I have gone out to perform countless missions, and I have also
I passed by Luoxia City many times along the way, but I never went to see them, mother and daughter, because I was afraid. I was afraid that I would not be able to let go of them and the warmth of home. I knew that the moment I became a secret guard, I
I knew there would be such a result. Wan'er's mother passed away seven years ago. Haha, I remember listening to my servants. At the last moment of her death, Wan'er's mother still called my name and looked forward to my future. However, I still
While on a mission, I didn’t show up even at her funeral, haha!”
The corners of his eyes gradually became moist, and Lone Star sat lonely on the ground, looking at the stars in the sky. A low and hoarse voice surrounded Ye Chen's ears. Ye Chen sighed softly, patted Lone Star on the shoulder, and said softly: "Then
Do you regret joining the Dark Guard now? Maybe, you didn’t join the Dark Guard...".
Before Ye Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lone Star: "Boy, I know what you are going to say. Do you regret it? No, I have never regretted it!"
Those eyes that were like stars were full of determination. At this moment, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of Ye Leng's words: "Every generation of secret guards will always be forgotten, and the only ones that survive are the secret guards."
The will of the army is to protect the family. There are people they cherish most in the family, and they protect the people they cherish the most. Although the people they cherish don’t know, every generation of secret guards will die, and another group will replace them and take over their legacy.
Will - protect the Ye family!"
"I promise you!" Ye Chen said firmly with a smile on his face.
Regardless of whether it was due to Lone Star's life-saving grace or from the secret guards, Ye Chen had no reason to refuse Lone Star's request!
