The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Chen Xiuyuan got up early, and after punching in the courtyard a few times, Zheng Dan called him to eat.

Today is the day of Chen Xiuyuan's mother's burial, in fact, it has been four days since Fang Yulan passed away, Chen Xiuyuan has been in a coma for two days, and Zheng Dan is helping him do many things, she is completely handling the funeral for Fang Yulan as a daughter and a daughter-in-law, Chen Xiuyuan is very grateful in his heart.

After dinner, Chen Xiuyuan took his mother's urn and drove with Zheng Dan to his hometown, Anning Town, a quiet and peaceful town in the easternmost part of Linquan City, which is also where Chen Xiuyuan grew up.

......

There is a lush cypress forest in the northwest of Anning Town, in the middle of the forest there is a most vigorous and tall ancient cypress, an ancient cypress tree with nine thick branches, the people of the town call this cypress tree Jiugu cypress, it is said that this cypress tree is 900 years old. And the tomb is in the shape of a ring around the nine-strand cypress.

In the place near the periphery of the forest, a new tomb has now been erected, Chen Xiuyuan and Zheng Dan are standing quietly in front of the tomb, and there is a middle-aged man who is a little blessed next to him. The other villagers and friends who came to help with the funeral have already left, and even Shang Wenruo, who came to worship, has also returned.

"Yanming, are you really not going back? It's a big loss for us for a talent like you to leave the company!" the middle-aged man said to Chen Xiuyuan very sincerely.

"No, Mr. Zhou. Chen Xiuyuan's face was flat, but his tone was extremely resolute, "The other colleagues in the company are very good, you can find another person from among them to replace me." I don't think they will disappoint you. Thank you for taking care of me and promoting me over the years, but I'm really tired and want to take a good rest. ”

"Hey......" Zhou Yucheng sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry, Chen Xiuyuan was promoted by him, and Zhou Yucheng was very clear about his talent, so it was only two years before he became a manager. But now that Chen Xiuyuan's mother has passed away, he must be very sad in his heart, in fact, he also planned to let Chen Xiuyuan rest for a while, but he didn't expect that Chen Xiuyuan was going to resign instead of taking a vacation. Although he regretted it in his heart, he had no choice.

"I also feel sorry for your mother's affairs, but the deceased is gone, you still have to take care of it, and cherish what you have. After speaking, Zhou Yucheng smiled at Zheng Dan and nodded, "Miss Zheng, then I'll leave first, you better go back early, it's not too early." He patted Chen Xiuyuan on the shoulder again to show comfort.

After Zhou Yucheng left, Chen Xiuyuan remained silent, Zheng Dan gently hugged him from behind and comforted: "Ah Ming, don't be too sad, didn't you say it, if my mother is still here, she will definitely hope that we will live happily." ”

"Dandan, don't worry, I'm fine. Chen Xiuyuan turned around and hugged Zheng Dan lightly and said, "I want to go out for a walk." ”

"Well, you should have gone out and relaxed. You've been so tired, and my mother and I used to worry about you. Hearing Chen Xiuyuan's words, Zheng Dan knew in his heart that he might still be a little unable to let go, but he was still happy for him, "Then I'll go with you, I haven't been out to play for a long time." ”

"No, Dandan, you should stay at home with Uncle Zheng more, don't wait until you lose it to regret the pain. I have one more important thing to do. ”

"What's so important, even I take it. Zheng Dan couldn't help but pursed his lips and said angrily.

"A very important thing, after this is done, we will get married. It can be a long time, or it can be very fast. ”

"Really!" Zheng Dan's heart was suddenly filled with happiness, and he kissed Chen Xiuyuan lightly on the face, and didn't ask Chen Xiuyuan what was the matter.

......

The night is hazy and breezy.

Zheng Tianzhen called Chen Xiuyuan into his room and asked, "Yanming, have you made a good choice?"

"Well, I've decided. ”

"That's good, you can live here in the future. In Zheng Tianzhen's heart, it was natural to think that Chen Xiuyuan would choose to cultivate with him.

"No, Uncle Zheng, you misunderstood, I decided to leave here. Chen Xiuyuan originally wanted to stay in his heart, but he later found some evil sect cultivation exercises in his memory, although these exercises are evil path exercises, but in Chen Xiuyuan's opinion, there is no good or evil in the exercises, it all depends on what kind of person uses it. These exercises have very low requirements for aura, and they are very suitable for Chen Xiuyuan, who is in urgent need of strength, and the drawbacks Chen Xiuyuan decided to return to the cultivation realm in the future to find a way to solve them, but because these exercises are too evil to cultivate, Chen Xiuyuan wants to find a place with fewer people and a better environment to practice after leaving.

"Then have you figured out how to explain it to Dandan?" Chen Xiuyuan's answer made Zheng Tianzhen obviously stunned, and asked with a slight anger.

"Uncle Zheng, don't be angry first, I've already told her about Dandan, I'll tell her to go out and take a break, and then I'll do something very important. Don't worry, I didn't tell her anything. ”

"It's a very important thing, it's really important, but if you leave, do you know how to cultivate? The path of cultivation is very dangerous, and if you don't have someone to guide you, it's very difficult. In this way, how can you do such an important thing?" Zheng Tianzhen was dissatisfied with worry.

"Hehe, Uncle Zheng, don't worry, I have my own opinions on cultivation, but please forgive me for not being able to explain it to you clearly at the moment, and when I take revenge, I will give you an explanation. Listening to Zheng Tianzhen's words full of concern, Chen Xiuyuan's heart couldn't help but warm, but he also knew that there were some things that he didn't say, so he said apologetically.

"Hmph, you explain to me what to do, the key is that you have to give Dandan an explanation. How long will it take you to come back after leaving this time?"

"It's five or six years if it's slow, or one or two years if it's fast, it's hard to be sure. Chen Xiuyuan hesitated slightly.

"Hey......" Zheng Tianzhen sighed, "No matter how many years you leave, I can wait, but Dandan can't wait, she has been with you for five years, how many five years can she wait for you again." I know you're vengeful, but I have to be honest with you, your hopes are too small. And the Shang family gave me a cherished Shengyuan Dan to ask for marriage from Dandan, I don't know if they came for Dandan or me, but this is definitely not a good sign, so you don't have much time. Actually, I really hope you can marry Dandan first. Chen Xiuyuan felt a lot older all of a sudden, but he deeply felt Zheng Tianzhen's doting on Dandan. If it was the previous Chen Yanming, he might have agreed, but Chen Xiuyuan, who was already a new student, had his own plans.

"Uncle Zheng, I'm sorry. I'm afraid that my mother's incident will happen to the people close to me in the future, so I have to have enough strength to protect them. I feel like I'm just out of college now, I think the world is very beautiful, but the reality shows me the bloody cruelty, I worked hard and finally got a career, I thought I could make my mother happy in the future, but the reality played a joke on me again, a joke that was not funny. I don't want to go on like this, I want to be strong, I want to be truly in control of my destiny. The once weak Chen Yanming has passed, and there will only be Chen Xiuyuan in the future, since God has shown me a new world, then let me go further. Chen Xiuyuan couldn't help but get more and more excited, and at the same time, accompanied by a momentum from the soul and from the Yuan Shen, Zheng Tianzhen suddenly felt a feeling of suffocation, and looked at Chen Xiuyuan, who was obviously very excited at this time, in shock, speechless for a while, in his impression, the momentum of a heaven-level master was nothing more than that. He didn't know what happened to Chen Xiuyuan, but he probably knew why Chen Xiuyuan chose to reject him. At this time, he couldn't help but be full of expectations for Chen Xiuyuan's future, maybe it would be the birth of a heaven-level powerhouse!

Chen Xiuyuan saw Zheng Tianzhen with an inright face, only to find that he unconsciously forcibly exercised the power of the Yuan Shen, and his mind couldn't help but be a little dizzy, he hurriedly collected his momentum, smiled apologetically at Zheng Tianzhen, and said slowly: "Uncle Zheng, can you help me change my information, and in the future, you will also call me Xiuyuan." ”

Zheng Tianzhen, who was relieved, nodded subconsciously, "Well, okay, I don't know what happened to you, but I expect you to really do what you want to do." After a pause, Zheng Tianzhen asked again, "Have you figured out where you are going?"

"This ...... I want to go to the Central Plains first. It is the birthplace of martial arts, and I want to see more profound martial arts there. Chen Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied, in fact, he had already made his own decision, and now he was just looking for a better excuse.

"Well, that's fine, although I respect Lingwu now, but after all, it has evolved from various martial arts, I will write you a copy of some of my cultivation experience and exercise cheats, I hope it can help you." ”

"Then thank you Uncle Zheng. Seeing that Zheng Tianzhen had agreed, Chen Xiuyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look forward to the wonderful days in the future.

......

"Tianxiang, you won't blame me. In Zheng Tianzhen's study, a middle-aged man who looked very similar to him sat opposite him, it was Zheng Tianzhen's younger brother Zheng Tianxiang.

"Big brother, our parents died early, you brought me up, without you, there would be no me today, and this family business is almost entirely built by you, I just helped the handle at most, even if you want to destroy it, I will support you. What's more, the Shang family may not necessarily get into trouble with us because of this matter. Zheng Tianxiang heard his eldest brother's words and returned with some excitement.

"As long as you don't blame me, I'm relieved. Zheng Tianzhen patted Zheng Tianxiang on the shoulder, and his heart was very warm. On the day Zheng Tianzhen made his choice, he had already returned the Saint Yuan Pill to the Shang family, although the Shang family did not express it obviously, he could feel Shang Longsheng's dissatisfaction, and was worried that it might cause trouble to the rest of the family, so he asked from this, in fact, he also knew the feelings between his brothers, and Tianxiang would definitely support him unreservedly.

......

Two days later, Chen Xiuyuan, who was fully prepared, stepped on the train to the north and embarked on a road to the strongest under the farewell of the Zheng family and some other friends and colleagues......
