In the quiet and quiet pine forest, the sun casts mottled light spots through the branches, making Chen Xi's cheeks flicker, just like his turbulent mood at the moment.
Those distant things were full of swords, swords and intrigues. Although Bai Wanqing's voice was plain, Chen Xi could hear a thrilling flavor in it.
He didn't say much, he just clenched his fists secretly and pursed his lips without saying a word, but he kept it all in mind and didn't dare to omit even a single detail.
Bai Wanqing's voice was sweet and low, with a gentle and gentle flavor, "When your father's strength has reached the ultimate in this world, your mother finally decided to go to find the treasured river map, and this decision was made by your parents.
The beginning of the quarrel with Zuo Qiufeng."
Chen Xi suddenly remembered something and said, "Did they go to Beiminghai?"
Bai Wanqing was startled and said in surprise: "Have you heard about it?"
Chen Xi nodded and said: "When I was in the Jiuhua Sword Sect, a senior told me that more than three hundred years ago, Miao Yunji, the headmaster of the Ascension Holy Land, hosted a Miaohua grand event, and many great figures who had reached the heavens participated.
Among them, the purpose is to find the mysterious star cave." (Note 1)
After a pause, he continued: "Later, they, the top figures in the Xuanhuan Domain, were defeated by my mother alone on the Beiming Sea. If my father hadn't come forward, they would have died."
Bai Wanqing nodded and said: "You are right. There were many powerful characters in Bei Minghai that time, but after all, they were just big shots in the human world, far from being your mother's opponent."
"Later, your mother successfully obtained the Star Cave. As you know, everyone thought that the treasure River Map was hidden in the Star Cave, and Zuoqiu Feng was no exception. So, on the way back from Beiminghai, Zuoqiu Feng
Feng finally took off his disguise and launched a sneak attack on your parents."
"At that time, even if your parents fought against Zuo Qiufeng together, they still suffered heavy losses."
"You can imagine how it felt when your own brother suddenly tried to kill someone and silence you. That feeling almost made Zuo Qiuxue end her life by suicide, but in the end, she didn't do it and chose
To escape."
Speaking of this, Bai Wanqing raised her head and stared at Chen Xi, saying, "Do you know why she is in so much pain and insists on surviving despite being so seriously injured?"
Chen Xi pursed his lips and said, "For my father?"
Bai Wanqing shook her head: "No, it was for you! Because she was already pregnant with you at that time. If not, your parents would have died together with Zuo Qiufeng."
Chen Xi sat motionless, his fingers clenched tightly and turned white, his nails dug deeply into his palms, and blood dripped out drop by drop.
Bai Wanqing didn't need to explain, he already knew what happened next. His parents, who were seriously injured and dying, fled back to their hometown of Songyan City, gave birth to themselves and their younger brother, and then...
Then Zuo Qiufeng came after him, kidnapped his mother, and destroyed the entire Chen family. His grandfather's cultivation was deposed, his father's whereabouts were unknown, and he became a well-known broom star in Songyan City!
Chen Xi took a few deep breaths, then forced himself to suppress the extremely complicated emotions in his heart, and suddenly asked: "Why did they let grandpa, brother and me go back then?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed something and said in a daze: "It's because..."
Bai Wanqing nodded, with a trace of deep self-blame and guilt on her beautiful face, and said: "Yes, it's because of me. Unfortunately, I came a step too late and could only save the three of you. And with my strength
, I can only rely on my identity as a member of the Zijin Bai family to threaten Zuoqiufeng, and I am unable to change anything."
Chen Xi was silent for a long time, then suddenly knelt down on the ground and silently kowtowed to Bai Wanqing three times.
Bai Wanqing helped Chen Xi up, and she couldn't help but shed a few lines of tears in her eyes. She shook her head and said: "You should hate me. I was too willful back then and was unwilling to practice. I was so weak that I was useless.
A waste, if not for this, your mother would not have been captured."
Speaking of this, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and forced herself to smile: "All this is over, and you have grown up. I believe your parents will be extremely happy when they learn all this."
A firm look emerged in Chen Xi's eyes, and he said: "Aunt Bai, don't worry, I will definitely save my mother."
Bai Wanqing smiled, with a look of relief on her face. After a while, she suddenly said: "You... don't hate your father, do you?"
Chen Xi was startled, shook his head and said, "I used to hate him, and I didn't even want to think of him."
Bai Wanqing sighed: "Don't blame your father for leaving without saying goodbye. With his strength back then, he could indeed leave you various top-notch techniques and Taoist techniques, but he still didn't do it after all. Do you know why?"
Without waiting for Chen Xi to answer, she already replied: "Because he knows that once you or your brother have mastered the power, they will seek revenge, and facing a behemoth like the Zuoqiu Clan, the possibility of success is too high.
He just wants you and your brother to live in peace and not get involved in this turmoil. It is enough for him to bear all this alone."
Chen Xi only felt that there were lumps in his chest, so heavy that it was difficult to breathe. He understood his father's intentions, but he could not accept such an arrangement for the moment.
If there is any kind of suffering, can't we face it together? Do we have to bear it alone?
"Actually, you and your father are doing the same thing, aren't they?" Bai Wanqing looked at Chen Xi and suddenly said, "You will bear everything on yourself, and you don't want your brother to suffer the same suffering as you."
Chen Xi smiled bitterly, but didn't know what to say.
"Okay, this is all in the past." After a moment, Bai Wanqing regained her energy, took a deep breath, and said: "With your current ability, you are qualified to know all this."
Chen Xi's heart trembled, and he gathered all his thoughts and completely sobered himself up. He knew that what Aunt Bai said next was the most important thing!
"Your father has sneaked into the fairy world through the teleportation array of the Ascension Holy Land, and I can't find out his whereabouts." Bai Wanqing said slowly, "But I have some clues about your mother."
…
Iris Fairy Prison.
When leaving the courtyard where Bai Wanqing lived, Chen Xi only had the words "Iris Prison" in his mind.
This name represents one of the most mysterious and terrifying prisons in the immortal world, which is in the hands of the Zuoqiu family, an ancient powerful force in the immortal world, and Zuo Qiuxue is imprisoned in it.
According to Bai Wanqing, if Zuoqiu Clan cannot find the treasured River Map in one day, Zuoqiu Xue will not be in danger of her life. In addition, she was the eldest daughter of Zuoqiu Clan back then, even though she is now imprisoned in Iris Prison.
, and there is no risk of being persecuted.
It's just that it's impossible to escape again.
Because this fairy prison has a famous title even in the fairy world - "The immortals and demons can change things, and the sacred cannot shake it"!
…
"How's it going little guy?"
Not long after Chen Xi left, Bai Jingchen suddenly appeared in the quiet pine forest and sat down opposite Bai Wanqing, exactly where Chen Xi had been sitting before.
"One-third resembles Ah Xue, and one-third resembles Chen Lingjun." Bai Wanqing replied casually.
Bai Jingchen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not asking about his appearance."
"Then what are you asking about?" Bai Wanqing was not polite to her brother.
"Of course he is his disciple." Bai Jingchen smiled playfully and didn't think there was anything wrong at all. He still had the demeanor of the head of the family.
"I didn't ask." Bai Wanqing answered simply.
Bai Jingchen was stunned, and said with a sad face: "Look at you, are you still angry with me? At that time, those bastards from the Zuoqiu family suddenly descended from the realm, and I had no choice but to send you to the battlefield outside the territory."
"What about now?" Bai Wanqing raised her head and glanced at him.
"Now, of course I will drive them away. They are just a bunch of Zuoqiu's minions. If it were not for Zuoqiu's face, I would have killed them long ago."
Bai Jingchen said carelessly, with an extremely domineering air in his words.
"If you do this and Zuoqiu becomes angry, what will you do to our Bai family?" Bai Wanqing asked seriously with a straight look on her face.
"What else can we do? The worst we can do is kill him and return to the immortal world." Bai Jingchen replied casually.
However, Bai Wanqing knew the weight of this sentence, which almost put the entire Zijin Bai family in opposition to the Zuoqiu family.
She took a deep breath and considered, "Am I... too willful?"
Bai Jingchen stood up, his burly figure like the backbone of the sky. He smiled slightly, showing his neat white teeth, patted Bai Wanqing's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I will still be there.
.”
After that, he strode away.
"Brother!" Bai Wanqing blurted out and called out.
Bai Jingchen froze and stood still, feeling in a daze. After so many years, he was finally willing to call himself brother...
"Where are you going?" Bai Wanqing seemed to realize something was wrong, and returned to her quiet and gentle look.
"Go and have a good talk with your elder brother. Since you have decided to help the little guy, it's time to settle some things." Bai Jingchen took a deep breath and said slowly.
"He... is indeed the descendant of Shenyan Mountain." Bai Wanqing said.
"I already know." Bai Jingchen waved his hand without looking back, and the tall figure quickly disappeared outside the courtyard.
"Huh! If you had known, you would have asked me." Bai Wanqing wrinkled her nose, but a smile from the heart appeared on her lips. At this time, she seemed to have returned to those careless years, no matter how willful she was.
Diaoman, no matter how big a disaster he gets into, he still has his brother to help him carry it.
"Axue, Xiao Xi has grown up, and the Earth Immortal Ancestor is much stronger than Lingjun back then..."
After a long time, a faint sigh sounded in the quiet pine forest, which was soon drowned out by a burst of rustling pine waves, and tranquility returned.
