Countless warriors rushed to Donglin, preparing to witness this unprecedented battle with their own eyes.
In the martial arts world, such a big event has not happened for a long time.
A few days later, all the masters from the four major families came out and came to Donglin City together.
Since Chen Hao could not be contacted, the three daughters of Du Xueqing could only greet him as family members on behalf of Chen Hao.
Speaking of Chen Hao's sudden loss of contact, everyone was worried, but no one could do anything but continue to wait.
Du Xing said: "Xueqing, you met the Lu family and the Chu family last time, so I won't introduce them to you. Come here, I met the Chen family. Their name is Grandpa Chen."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards a tall old man with snow-white beard and hair, who was calm and intimidating. At the same time, he bowed slightly, seeming to respect the head of the Chen family.
Du Xueqing quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Xueqing has met Grandpa Chen."
She was a little surprised. Although she had only glanced at it just now, she could still vaguely see that although the head of the Chen family was different from Chen Hao in appearance, he was somewhat similar in spirit.
But Chen Hao said that he has nothing to do with the Chen family.
Du Xueqing didn't dare to look closely, lest she be rude.
The head of the Chen family looked at her carefully several times and smiled: "Xingchao, you have a good granddaughter."
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for the compliment."
Du Xingchao looked happy as if he had been affirmed by a big shot: "I really didn't expect that you could come to Donglin in person this time. Thank you for giving me, Jianxun and Zhenyun face."
"Yes, the Hongmen's trouble this time has nothing to do with the Chen family. We are so happy that Brother Chen can come."
"Haha, our four major families have always been on the same page and are united in dealing with the outside world. Brother Chen must also be dissatisfied with those fake foreign devils in Hongmen and wants to teach them a lesson together with us."
Lu Jianxun and Chu Zhenyun smiled, with respect in their tone.
Patriarch Chen shook his head: "What you said is only half right. I came to Donglin not just to give you face."
Du Xingchao and the three of them were stunned.
The head of the Chen family smiled with a complicated expression: "Although I haven't met Chen Hao yet, I have confirmed that he is my grandson."
Everyone was surprised.
Lu Jianxun and Chu Zhenyun looked at each other and said in surprise: "Brother Chen, last time we asked Chen Hao if he had anything to do with the Chen family, he said no."
The head of the Chen family said: "What does Chen Hao, a little kid, know? His father, Chen Qingru, is my youngest son. Decades ago, he ran away from home for...some reasons and there was no news. I searched in many ways, but could not find it until a few years ago."
A few months ago in the Donglin battle, you two were defeated at the hands of Chen Hao. When you came back and talked about it, I became suspicious and sent people to investigate, and finally found out that Chen Hao is Qing Ru's son..."
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that Chen Hao was really from the Chen family, but he didn't know it.
Du Xueqing said in confusion: "Grandpa Chen, since you know that Uncle Chen is your son, why don't you go find him?"
The head of the Chen family said nothing, and a trace of sadness flashed across his old face.
Du Xingchao scolded: "Xueqing, don't ask random questions."
Du Xueqing also knew that she had made a mistake and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Chen, I didn't mean it."
The head of the Chen family waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. In fact, there is nothing to say in the past so many years. Back then, because of family interests, I forced Qingru to marry a woman he didn't like. He was unwilling and had a big quarrel with me in public. I
I was very angry and kicked him out of the house. Qingru also had a stubborn character, so he left and never came back. I have been looking for him for so many years, and now I finally found him, but I dare not see him.
I was afraid that he would not forgive me, so I had to come to see Chen Hao first..."
Speaking of this, his face showed a look of guilt and pain, and there were faint tears in his eyes.
For a moment, everyone suddenly felt that the person standing in front of them was not the majestic head of the family, but an ordinary old man who missed his son.
Du Xingchao, Lu Jianxun and Chu Zhenyun looked at each other in shock.
The head of the Chen family is the only master of the late stage of Huajin among the four major families. He has a great reputation across China and has always been known for his strength, majesty and violent temper. Although the three of them are also heads of the family, they all respect the head of the Chen family and regard him as the leader. Such a powerful person, I didn't expect to see the head of the Chen family showing vulnerability in public.
"Father, it's been so many years. No matter how angry I am, it will definitely be gone. You don't have to worry."
"Yes, except for my stubborn temper, my little brother is actually very gentle. Besides, he is living a good life now. I will definitely not blame you anymore."
Two middle-aged men who looked like the sons of the Chen family came forward to persuade him.
Patriarch Chen nodded silently.
Du Xingchao suddenly laughed, stepped forward and patted the head of the Chen family on the shoulder: "Brother Chen, please don't be sad. It turns out that my grandson-in-law Chen Hao is really from the Chen family. You should be happy to have such an outstanding grandson. Wait. When Chen Hao comes back, ask him to take you and us to meet the wise nephew of Qing Confucianism, and I will definitely reunite your family!"
"That's right, Brother Chen, we will take care of this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."
"No wonder Brother Chen came quickly as soon as we said that Hongmen was challenging Chen Hao. I thought Brother Chen was really loyal, but it turned out that he wanted to have his grandson. Instead, we became outsiders."
Chu Zhenyun and Lu Jianxun also laughed.
The head of the Chen family wiped his eyes and said gratefully: "Thank you three wise brothers. I lost my temper and let you laugh."
Du Xingchao smiled and said: "To be honest, Brother Chen, we have never seen you show such true feelings, but your behavior makes us feel more friendly and we are not as afraid of you as before."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
The sad atmosphere was swept away.
The head of the Chen family also laughed and said with emotion: "I used to pay too much attention to interests and neglected family ties, and as a result I lost a lot of things. Now that I am older, I realize that fame and wealth are just clouds. A family that can stay together is the most important thing." important."
Everyone nodded in sympathy.
Du Xueqing said obediently: "Grandpa Chen, I have met Uncle and Aunt Chen. They like me very much. I can also speak for you when the time comes. I will definitely make you father and son recognize each other and reunite beautifully."
The head of the Chen family said happily: "Okay, thank you, Xue Qing."
Du Xingchao said proudly: "Brother Chen, how about my granddaughter and your granddaughter-in-law? Not bad, right?"
The head of the Chen family smiled and said: "Does this need to be said? Chen Hao is lucky to be able to marry Xue Qing."
Lu Jianxun said angrily: "Lao Du, you are bullying me and Lao Chu for not having a granddaughter. What are you showing off to?"
Chu Zhenyun also rolled his eyes: "That's right."
Du Xingchao squinted and said, "What the hell, Lao Lu, Lao Chu, if you are not convinced, then let your sons have excellent grandchildren like Chen Hao and Xue Qing."
Lu Jianxun and Chu Zhenyun were immediately choked and speechless.
