"Sorry kid, we're late. The mysterious man carried Yechen out of the ruins and said apologetically.

Ye Chen's eyes were still a little dull, obviously mentally stimulated. Seeing this, the mysterious man put one hand on Ye Chen's head and injected a strong and gentle Yuan spiritual power.

Yechen was covered in golden light, and his eyes gradually became smart, but there was still endless sadness hidden in the depths.

A deafening roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and a devastating sound wave appeared in the air, knocking down all the buildings in Lingxia Town and raising a cloud of dust.

The golden light on Ye Chen's body also dimmed a lot under the sound waves, and the mysterious man looked up at the crack in the sky above, his eyes full of melancholy.

"Kid, I'm sorry, I have more important things to do, I can't continue to be with you, you wait here patiently, the rescue force should be coming. The mysterious man squatted down, touched Ye Chen's head and said softly.

"Hopefully you'll wake up and forget about it all. ”

Ye Chen noticed that the golden light on his body was a little stronger, and his whole body was very comfortable, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally it was dark in front of him, and he fell asleep.

Ye Chen opened his eyes, and his gaze returned to the dormitory again, Lei Jingyuan was still standing in front of him, his fingers still against his eyebrows.

Everything is still the same, the only difference is that there are two more tear stains on the face.

What happened six years ago, finally looking back, Yechen even felt that all this happened yesterday.

Sadness, remorse, anger, and all kinds of negative emotions erupted in Yechen's heart, and for a while, it was difficult to calm down.

"At that time, a group of prisoners were secretly transferred, but they were attacked by unknown people on the way to transfer, and the fierce battle between the two sides tore a crack in the stable space tunnel, that is, the crack that appeared in the sky above Lingxia Town. Lei Jingyuan stepped aside and said softly.

"It happened too suddenly, Yunwu Ancient City, which is responsible for managing this area, sent troops to rescue at the first time, but it was still too late, it all happened too quickly, and it was unexpected. ”

"I may not understand your feelings, but everything in the past has become a thing of the past, and nothing can change the facts, so instead of drowning in grief, it is better to think about what the road ahead should be. ”

"Don't forget what has sustained you to where you are now, and why you are in pursuit of power, think about it all, and then come out of the shadows of the past and start a new life. After speaking, Lei Jingyuan strode out of the dormitory.

What sustained me to where I am now, and why did I pursue power?

Ye Chen clearly remembered that when he woke up again after falling asleep, he was already in the bed of the temporary medical center, his mind was very chaotic at that time, and he almost forgot everything that happened in Lingxia Town under the influence of the golden light of the mysterious man.

It wasn't until he walked out of the medical clinic and saw the ruins outside, the hometown he was most familiar with, that he had a splitting headache and finally remembered the tragic death of his relatives.

He hugged his head and wept bitterly, curled himself up in a corner, as if this was the only way to feel safe. Even when his parents found him, there was no trace of emotional fluctuations on his face, and his eyes looked blankly at his parents who were holding him and crying.

For a long time afterward, Yechen could not face this sad fact, the death of his loved ones and the ferocity of demons left a shadow in his brain, and he could only numb himself with physical exhaustion and pain, immersing himself in endless physical training.

The birth of his sister Ye Xiaoling did not attract much attention to him, and even after his sister learned to walk and talk, Ye Chen only lived a monotonous life of going to class, eating, training, taking medicinal baths, and sleeping, and rarely talked to his parents and sister.

Until that day, his parents went out, leaving him and his sister at home, Ye Xiaoling held a small leather ball by himself, playing in the backyard of his training, and when he was tired from training and sat aside to rest, Ye Xiaoling came over slowly with the leather ball and said to him timidly: "Brother, can you play with me?"

Seeing that his sister was a little scared, Ye Chen realized how much failure his brother had done, how much he didn't pay attention to this sister, and also remembered that he often pestered his brother and sister when he was a child, letting them play with him.

"Okay", he didn't refuse, Ye Xiaoling laughed happily, and that innocent smile also infected Ye Chen, making him rarely show a smile, and accompanied his sister to play with the ball happily.

When her mother Liu Rubing came back, she saw this warm scene in the backyard, the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, and her eyes were a little moist.

"Mom, my brother played with me. Ye Xiaoling happily walked up to her mother.

"Mom said that my brother would be willing to play with Xiaoling, is it fun to play with my brother?" Liu Rubing wiped the corners of her eyes, bent down and smiled.

"Happy. Ye Xiaoling nodded happily.

At that moment, looking at his mother and sister with smiles on their faces, Yechen's heart set off huge waves.

It was the first time in two years that he had seen such a reassuring smile on his mother's face.

Ye Chen staggered back a few steps, turned around and returned to the room, leaning against the door and crying loudly, as if to release all the unhappiness in his heart, and this was the first time he shed tears in two years.

He didn't know what he had been doing for the past two years, whether he was escaping reality or torturing his family.

Or maybe it's blaming their parents, when they are most helpless and scared, they are not around. But he knew better in his heart that even if his parents were there that time, it would only be two more corpses, and it wouldn't change any facts, would it?

So what exactly is he doing?

The death of a loved one, his parents should not be better than him, he should have survived should be a pleasant surprise, and his state is probably only heartache for his parents, and I don't know how many tears he secretly shed.

They did not continue to live in Lingxia Town, but moved to Yijing City, in order to let him get out of the shadows as soon as possible, on the one hand, to avoid touching the scene, and on the other hand, to find a skilled doctor to treat him.

And how many times did he refuse to cooperate with the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, blindly avoided, and closed his heart.

How many times did he lie on the ground in the backyard tiredly, scarred and unconscious, and when he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed with the wound medicine dressed.

How many times has he seen his parents smile at his sister, and he has only been full of worry when he sees him.

If it weren't for him, his parents would have been relieved a long time ago, and they wouldn't have remembered that sad thing just because they saw him, and they wouldn't have to worry about him again and again.

Without him, his parents and sister would have lived a happy new life long ago.

Before, Ye Chen had never seriously thought about these things, but this time he had figured it all out.

He wants to be free, but he can't die, his life was saved by his relatives, but he can't continue like this, because this is not the result that his relatives want to see, he needs to cheer up.

It was from that time that Yechen stepped out of the shadow of her heart step by step and integrated into the family, wanting to give her sister a happy childhood and her parents a warm home.

It was also from that time that he made up his mind to pursue stronger power, to protect everything he cherished with his own hands, and never to let the tragedy happen again.
