Zhan Xu is growing up day by day, and Zhan Chen tries to find time to be by his side, because he has lost his mother since he was a child, and he lost his father when he was young, and he knows the pain of loneliness deeply. It can be said that the first half of his childhood was full of sadness, and the second half was full of grief and anger. He vowed not to let this tragedy happen to his son again!

No matter how much he craves power and pursues martial arts, he has to spare a few years to be by his son's side and at least give him a good childhood.

Therefore, Zhan Chen often accompanied Zhan Xu to the mountains to practice in the morning, played games with him in the afternoon, and guided him to study in the evening, watching his son grow up slowly day by day.

With Su Yun and Zhan Xu, he gradually found the feeling of home, and began to taste the warmth unique to low-level martial artists. Those low-level martial artists, their qualifications are very poor, they know that their life is very short, so they know how to cherish it more than geniuses like themselves, and those big people at the top, they know how to taste this kind of happiness in tranquility, and they know how to enjoy this family happiness.

Sixteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, counting Zhan Chen's coming to the Xuandao Sect, it has been twenty years, and in these twenty years, Zhan Chen's cultivation has hardly increased, which is not the same as the kind of rapid progress and rapid change before he came to the Xuandao Sect.

Some people look at him taking care of his family like this, and they don't understand it, thinking that he is wasting his time. But in Zhan Chen's heart, he didn't think so, Emperor Wu's lifespan could reach more than 2,000 years, and as a genius with outstanding qualifications, his lifespan would definitely greatly exceed this number.

And 20 years is less than one percent of his lifespan, as long as he spends one percent of his time, he can leave extremely happy memories for his family, Zhan Chen feels that this transaction is worth it!

However, there will always be a day when the young eagle will harden its wings, and it will always stay in the cage, and sooner or later it will be reduced to a canary for others to enjoy, rather than an eagle soaring in the sky. Zhan Chen also knows this.

This morning, he looked at Zhan Xu who was standing on the top of the mountain and was stunned for a while, and a familiar scene appeared in his mind.

The son is already 16 years old, with a bear's waist, a wide forehead and a nose, eyes like stars, and long hair dancing in the wind.

Unconsciously, Zhan Xu had finished his morning class, came to his father and shouted affectionately: "Dad, what are you doing!"

Zhan Chen woke up at this time, looked at him with an innocent and innocent appearance that had not been deeply involved in the world, and a look of incomparable dependence on himself, his heart was ruthless, and he made a decision in an instant, and said to him: "Okay, let's go back today." ”

Zhan Xuqi said: "Dad, don't you go to class? Didn't you still ask me to learn some alchemist in the past, and I still have to take exams or something, don't you need it today?"

Zhan Chen squeezed out a smile, patted his head dotingly, and said, "No, let's go back early today, and ask my mother to cook you some delicious food at noon." ”

"Wow!" the son was so excited that he almost didn't jump.

Zhan Chen smiled slightly and scolded: "You, how old are you, and you still don't look like you are tall." ”

"What's this, you are an elder of the sect, as long as your father is there, the inner disciples of the sect are afraid of me!" Zhan Xu said very chicly.

Zhan Chen's body couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and said to him again, "Let's go." ”

The two went back early, Su Yun was taking care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and when she saw Zhan Xu and Zhan Chen coming from a distance, she couldn't help but be stunned, thinking, it's the sun coming out of the west today, why did Zhan Chen let Xu Er go so early?

Just thinking about it, she heard her son calling: "Mother!" Su Yun hurriedly straightened her sleeves, ran forward, and hugged her son tightly as usual, the two separated, and she stared at her son, who was now a head taller than herself, as if she hadn't seen enough in sixteen years.

But I heard Zhang Xu say: "Mother, Daddy said, make something delicious today!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you want to eat, my mother will cook it for you!" Su Yun smiled as she turned around and turned into the house to get busy, full of energy.

In the past, Zhan Chen would always follow the joy when he saw this scene, but now, somehow, he looked at this scene repeated every day, but he couldn't be happy.

After being full of wine and food, Zhan Chen called his son out, but pulled Su Yun aside. Su Yun knew at a glance that he wanted to discuss things with him in private, so he asked first: "Zhan Chen, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Zhan Chen's expression was very serious, and he asked rhetorically: "Wife, do you think it's really good for us to treat Xu'er like this now?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that Xu'er has grown up, it is no longer appropriate for him to stay with us, if we think about our son, we must let him out, as the saying goes: 'The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold'; I'm afraid that what we are doing now will hurt Xu'er. ”

When Su Yun heard him say this, she was also silent, she understood everything, but when she thought of pushing her son out, she couldn't let go of this feeling.

Zhan Chen saw that she was silent, and said: "Yun'er, in fact, I understand your feelings, and I am not willing to let Xu'er leave us, but what he needs is not to stay by the side of the two of us forever, he needs to get in touch with the outside world, he needs friends, he needs experience, he needs to find his own way, and these are all things that we can't find for him, he has to come by himself." ”

"Zhan Chen, don't say it, can you let me be quiet? ”

"Okay, Yun'er, my opinion has been said, I will wait for your decision. After Zhan Chen finished speaking, he left silently.

......

After this conversation, the atmosphere of this family when they were together became strange.

And Zhan Xu also obviously felt that his father and mother had different expressions in the past few days. One day, when the three of them were having dinner together, he finally asked the question in his heart: "Father, mother, why do I think you are weird these days?"

As soon as this question came out, Su Yun and Zhan Chen immediately stopped the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhan Xu felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, and asked urgently: "What the hell is going on!

Zhan Chen looked up at him, with a hint of firmness in his eyes, and asked, "Xu'er, I want to ask you a question, what is your ideal?"

Speaking of ideals, Zhan Xu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said: "Like my father, I will go to the Wanfa Continent in the future and make a career." ”

"Did you know that Daddy was there when he was your age?"

"You once said that at this time, you are still working hard to improve yourself and accept various experiences in a small sect in the Houyan Kingdom, the Golden Elephant Sect!"

"Yes, Xu'er, now that you have grown up, and the foundation you have now is a thousand times better than when you were your father, do you have the confidence to learn from your father and go to the Golden Elephant Sect to make a career?"

"Yes, Dad, I've wanted to go for a long time, but I haven't dared to tell you and Mom. ”

"Okay! The boy is determined to be in all directions, so you can leave in a few days. Zhan Chen turned his heart sideways, and just said that, at this time, he needed to make a decision.

"Hmm. ”

"But Father still has a few words to tell you, your mother and I both stayed in the Golden Elephant Sect back then, and the people there were very good to us, or received our favors. Therefore, when you get there, you have to change your name and surname, hide your identity, and go as an ordinary warrior, otherwise everything will be meaningless, do you understand?"

"Dad, I remember what you said clearly. Zhan Xu nodded solemnly.

During the conversation between the father and son, Su Yun kept silent with her head down, and she was actually the most reluctant at this time. The mother's attachment to her son is always deeper than that of her father, but she did not stop Zhan Chen, because she is a person who understands righteousness and understands that the decisions Zhan Chen is making now are for the good of their sons.

"Okay, you talk to your mother. Zhan Chen left a word, turned around and left the house, went outside to breathe, and left the opportunity to be alone to Su Yun and his son.

In the next three days, Zhan Chen and Su Yun were both busy, thinking about the various situations that their son might encounter when he went out, and preparing all the things he could think of for him.

Finally on the eve of parting, Zhan Chen and his son only chatted for an hour, then left the house, went outside the courtyard to look at the full moon in the sky and the beautiful scenery in the mountains in a daze, and gave Su Yun the last chance to get along with his son.

It was night, and the light in the room remained on until dawn, and if you passed by the side of the house, you could still hear the chattering sound coming from inside.

Early the next morning, Zhan Chen and Su Yun sent their son who had lived together for sixteen years down the mountain. The two of them sent it far away, all the way to the ferry port of Yunxian Island, until when their son got on the liner and disappeared on the surface of Yunzen Lake, the two of them still looked at the direction he left and stood for a long time.

At this time, a cool breeze struck, Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel a little chill on his body, came back to his senses, and said to Su Yun: "Yun'er, let's go back, the future road will be Xu'er herself." ”

Su Yun was still reluctant to turn around, and muttered, "Zhan Chen, do you know? I'm so worried...... I'm so worried......"

"I know everything. Zhan Chen couldn't help but put his arm around her shoulders......
