"Oh?" Cangming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled warmly, tapped his fingers on his knees, and said with a light smile: "Why don't you want to go back?"

"If you don't want to go back, you don't want to go back, do you need a reason?" Chen Bai smiled slightly, tilted his head and asked.

Cangming didn't speak, just looked at him lightly, his expression seemed to be smiling.

The atmosphere became awkward for a while.

After a long time, Chen Bai couldn't stand it anymore, let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay~! I surrender! I am an orphan with Lan Baixing, there is nothing worth taking to heart, and I have no contribution to the country, there is no more than me, no less than me, there is no point in me going back." ”

"However, you seem to have a lot of affection for the director of your welfare home. ”

......

Cangming only used one sentence to make the atmosphere that had just eased up to the extreme embarrassing again.

This time Chen Bai was also silent, he was really silent.

Back then, he promised the old man that he would be the old man's son in this life, and he would provide for him in his old age.

But since he crossed over, it was clear that the oath was about to come to naught.

"Hehe, if the old man is still alive now, he should be in his nineties, an old man of this age, he must have many people to take care of his daily life, and he doesn't need me at all. Grinning, Chen Bai muttered, not knowing if this sentence was said to Cangming, or just to comfort himself.

Cangming on the other side gradually put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Contrary to what you imagined, after your dean is old, no one around him is willing to give him a pension, and no one wants to stay in that welfare home, the current welfare home is just an empty house with an old man in his nineties." ”

"How is it possible?!" Chen Bai stood up suddenly, his face was full of disbelief, his voice became sharper, and he said urgently: "The welfare institute is a public welfare institution set up by the state, how could the old man end up like this?!"

"That welfare home was not set up by your country, but a place set up by that person to vacate his own house, put all his income into it, and set up a place at his own expense to take in wandering orphans like you, because you don't have a real welfare home there, so over time, the local people habitually called it a welfare home, and any orphans were also stuffed over. ”

Cangming's face still had no expression, cold without a trace of temperature.

In fact, this is him, who has lived for countless years, he has long been accustomed to all the joys, sorrows and sorrows in this world, and he has no waves about everything.

The reason why he did that just now was purely because Chen Bai was a special existence, and it was not so meaningless to him.

That's all.

Clenching his fists, Chen Bai asked tremblingly, "What about those who were raised by the old man in the welfare home?"

"Hehe, they, just like you, never looked back at the old man again. Cangming smiled, a little sarcastic.

Opening his mouth, Chen Bai was about to scold angrily, but stopped the scolding words in his mouth.

Because it occurred to him suddenly. That's right, it's not just these people who haven't gone back to see the old man, but also him, a person who has no feelings.

Cangming looked at him quietly and didn't say a word.

Finally, after a long time, Chen Bai finally raised his head, looked at Cangming and said, "Senior, what can you do to let me go back?"

"Hehe, you've decided to go back?" Cangming smiled lightly, and he couldn't hear anything in his tone.

Nodding, Chen Bai looked up to the sky and sighed, and then said self-deprecatingly: "Without an old man, Chen Bai would have already turned into a dry bone on the side of the road, even if I give up everything, I don't have the qualifications to put the old man down." Even if I go back and send him an end, it's better than it is now. ”

Cangming looked at him, the smile on his face finally became sincere, he stood up and waved his hand, turning the space into an empty space again, and then waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will send you to your blue and white star, I hope everything is still too late after you go back." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Bai only felt that his eyes were black, and then he lost consciousness.

......

Cold, long cold, maybe it is not very appropriate to describe it in these two words, but now in the chaos of Chen Bai, he only feels this feeling.

Finally, when he slowly opened his eyes, the coldness slowly faded.

"The main quest fails, the host leaves the underworld, and will permanently lose connection with the system. ”

"Chen Bai, I'm very disappointed in you. ”

Noah's voice rang in his ears, and the first sound was mechanical, as usual.

The second voice was very cold, it was the Noah who had been accompanying him on weekdays.

Looking up at the ceiling, a little pain flashed in Chen Bai's eyes.

The main quest failed, and this sentence pierced into his heart like a sharp needle.

He touched it in his arms and found the familiar soul lamp, but he didn't speak.

The soul lamp released a faint purple light as always, very soft, without any mood fluctuations, and the two spirits in the soul lamp did not seem to notice that her husband had given up the idea of continuing to resurrect her.

Holding the soul lamp in the palm of his hand, he slowly placed it on his chest, feeling the softness coming from under him, Chen Bai stared blankly at the ceiling.

The ceiling was white, slightly yellowish, but not the shabby yellow of the previous rental house, and it was clearly dyed yellow with yellow paint.

He vaguely remembered that when he was still in the welfare home, the ceiling of his room was like this.

With a wave of one hand, tightening the storage space of the Eternal Soul Lamp, he got up from the bed and looked around.

It's confirmed, this is the house he lived in when he was in a welfare home.

Looking at everything around him, he clenched his fists tightly.

As long as the old man is alive, everything will still be in time.

After all, he has the law of life and death.

Thinking like this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, and then he tried to mobilize the life source in his body.

However, before his smile could fill his entire face, he froze completely.

The number of life sources in his body that should have been extremely large had long since disappeared at this time, leaving only an endless source of death, and the black occupied the common position of the original source of life and death.

"Noah, what's going on?!" Chen Bai was shocked and couldn't help blurting out.

......

Nothing miracles happened, and Noah really didn't reply to him.

As the saying goes, the system has lost connection, and perhaps, is already looking for the next host.

At the same time, an extremely weak but familiar voice sounded: "Is it Bai'er?"

This voice is not loud, but for Chen Bai's cultivation, there is no difference from exploding in his ears.

Hearing this, Chen Bai was struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled from top to bottom, and then he rushed out of the room like an arrow and rushed towards the third floor.

In memory, this is where the old man lived. The home has three floors, the first floor is used for the children's daily activities, there are also some children's dormitories, and the second floor is all children's dormitories.

Now, it's all empty, and a lot of places are dusty, apparently deserted for some time.

He had just reached the third floor when the door to the familiar room slowly opened, and a thin old man walked out from behind the door.

If it weren't for the fact that the Earth Fairy Realm was far beyond the observation of ordinary people, it would have been difficult for him to overlap this thin old man like a piece of firewood with the chubby man with glasses back then.

"Old, old,... Old man?" his lips trembled a few times, and Chen Bai finally spoke softly.

Hearing his words, the old man, who was originally a little surprised, smiled, and his thin face looked a little terrifying, but in Chen Bai's opinion, it was so warm.

"Xiaobai, you kid still have some conscience, and you still know to come back and see me, a dying old man. Ahem, ahem!~Ahem!!" The old man laughed, and then coughed violently, his chest heaving like a tattered bellows.
