There was a little light on the oil lamp, and the room was very quiet. The old man with a white beard sat cross-legged on the simple bed, closing his eyes and concentrating.
"Come in."
He suddenly whispered, and saw a black figure appear outside the dark house, and then the wooden door that had been in disrepair made a harsh sound.
"grandfather."
The person who entered the door was Chen Sheng's grandson, Chen Bufan, a genius who was regretted by others. At this time, he still had a fist mark on his right eye.
"It's so late, what do you want from me?"
Master Chen said lightly, and Chen Bufan gently closed the door. He did not take another step forward, but gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and asked, "I want to know how my parents died."
Hearing this, the old man opened his eyes. He looked at his grandson and saw a pair of eyes full of hatred.
The old man's eyes were stunned and he asked quickly: "What are you talking about? Are you thinking wildly again?"
"No, grandpa, I already know everything, but I want to hear from you the real cause of death of my parents."
"Really... they participated in the war..."
"No! You still want to lie to me, grandpa, don't you hate it? That's your son!"
"Shut up!"
The old man roared angrily, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and his aura was extremely terrifying.
Chen Bufan gritted his teeth, but he didn't flinch.
"Tell me, what do you know? Who has such great ability that makes you believe him and be stunned for a while?"
The old man stared at him and asked.
"My parents were killed by the second prince, right?"
Hearing this, the old man was shocked and his brows suddenly raised.
Seeing his expression, tears suddenly flashed in Chen Feifan's eyes.
"Sure enough, you know."
"Bufan! Don't mess around!"
"I won't mess around, but he killed my parents and I must take revenge. Grandpa, don't you want to take revenge?"
Chen Feifan's words made the old man frown and said, "I warned them not to participate in the struggle for royal power, but they still chose that path. My child, put down the hatred in your heart and accept this fact."
"I can't let it go! What if I let it go! What's the use of the martial arts I learned!"
He roared and slapped a wooden stool in the room, smashing it into pieces instantly.
The old man took a deep breath.
"Then what are you going to do? Kill him? Duel with thousands of masters? Or compete with the magic cannon to see who's stronger? That's not revenge, it's just death."
"I won't do that, grandpa. I'm not fighting alone. As long as I become the champion, I will have the opportunity to join the second prince's Dragon Guard."
Hearing this, the old man raised his head.
"You can't win. You can't win even a woman. Who can you win?"
His words obviously stimulated the other party. Chen Bufan clenched his hands into fists, took a deep breath, and suddenly knelt on the ground normally.
"Grandpa, if you are a real grandfather, if you still regard me as your grandson, teach me how to defeat her."
"You can't win, Feifan, accept the fact. Although you are very smart and talented, there are people who are better than others, and there is a better world. Forget it this time. As long as you start practicing hard now, you will win in the next competition.
I can already defeat her."
"I know what you are thinking, grandpa. I know you too well. You want to stop me, keep me here, and protect me like a child. But I have grown up, grandpa! Look at me, I
Now that I'm an adult, can't I still do what I want to do? Grandpa! I know that you are the master of the eldest prince."
"Shut up!!"
Master Chen roared loudly, and his old body suddenly erupted with terrifying power. The candle was extinguished instantly, and the room was dark. Suddenly, a pair of fingers appeared in the darkness, and then a flame suddenly appeared, lighting the candle.
The old man was already standing in front of the table, his face serious.
"You know it all."
Chen Bufan nodded and said nothing.
"Then you know those people who tell you these things are just using you to get you to die. You think you are doing some great heroic deeds, but I tell you, you will find that you are nothing in the end.
Everything you do is a joke to others."
The old man pointed to the door and said: "Look at the people outside, what did they think when the eldest prince died? Do they think the second prince is a bad person? Have you ever thought about fighting for the injustice of those who died due to royal battles? No!
Let me tell you, the second prince is now the savior of the Dragon Boat Empire. If you take action against him, then you are a damn rebel. You will be eaten alive. You are the bad guy who disturbs everyone's stable life. In this regard, you
What does that little desire for revenge mean?"
Chen Bufan lowered his head and breathed heavier.
"Let me ask you, how do you know that the people telling you these things are going to make this country better, not worse?"
The old man withdrew his fingers. He wanted to put his hands on the other person's shoulders, but hesitated for a moment, clenched his fist again, and carried it away.
Chen Bufan gritted his teeth and frowned, saying, "I finally, I finally know why that adult didn't come back to you."
"who?"
Before the old man could react, Chen Bufan rushed out of the door and disappeared into the darkness.
Master Chen slowly sat down, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Who is that adult?
In the dark night, his eyes seemed to see memories of the past.
Every prince in the Dragon Boat Empire has many teachers in his life. From the beginning of literacy, they have to undergo high-intensity learning and training. Perhaps this empire now feels like it relies on advanced magic technology to become powerful. However,
What most people don’t know is that kings throughout the ages still followed the
Selection is carried out according to ancient rules. Every heir with inheritance rights must start a war for inheritance rights when the old king is sixty years old. Except for those who voluntarily give up, only one person who participates in this fight can
The one who survives will be the next king.
Chen Sheng thought of the eldest prince. At that time, he was still the eldest prince's martial arts teacher. He would never forget the battle for royal power. The princes brought their elite troops to fight with each other, like wild beasts, fighting in the duel field.
They were fighting each other to the death, while the king was sitting on the high platform, watching his heirs killing each other.
The duel lasted for a day, from morning to night. Except for the sixth prince, the seventh prince, the thirteenth prince, and the fourth princess, the only ones left were the most powerful eldest prince and the second prince.
The difference in strength between the two is not too big, but the eldest prince is stronger. When the red moon hangs high in the sky, there are seven subordinates beside the eldest prince. Among them, Chen Sheng's son, Chen Bufan's parents, are also there.
in.
There were only three of the second prince's men left, and the result seemed to have been determined. According to the strength of his martial arts, the second prince was definitely no match for the eldest prince. However, no one expected that the second prince Xianglong still had a trick up his sleeve.
Explosion, it was a big explosion that shocked the entire arena. Three of the second prince's men implanted bombs with explosive magic in their bodies. They rushed up and died together with the eldest prince.
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible. In that case, they can't survive."
Master Chen covered his face and said.
The next day, the roar of the train cut through the sky and came to the city. On the bustling train, people were sending off the contestants participating in the competition. The place was crowded with people, and no one noticed a man wearing a strange one-eyed mask.
