Back in Chifeng Town, Ling Xi went to Zhao Hu's house first to see if Zhao Hu had gone home. Zhao Hu's family was very happy, especially Zhao Hu's father, the smile on his face was brighter than the sun, and he said that he wanted to hold a big banquet to celebrate. Zhao Hu's father told Ling Xi that Zhao Hu had gone out with the purple-clothed mother-in-law after he came back just now. Ling Xi also knew that he and Zhao Hu might not be able to meet so easily in the future, thinking of this, while he was happy for Zhao Hu, his heart was also a little empty.

"I'm back. ”

As soon as Ling Xi got home, he found that the house seemed to be much brighter than usual, and he was attracted by the tempting fragrance when he entered the door, and he found that the table was full of sumptuous meals, just looking at it, it made him feel a little hungry.

Ling Xi was confused, and he didn't know what was going on, how could there be such a sumptuous meal for no reason.

Just when Ling Xi was puzzled, Ling Lie heard his voice and walked out of the room, and said with a smile:

"I'm back. ”

"Father, what are you?"

Looking at Ling Lie who came out, Ling Xi was instantly stunned. Now Ling Lie is like a different person, his beard has all been shaved off, his hair has been cut short, he looks much more energetic, he has changed his sloppy and decadent image in the past, and his whole body is very clean. The key is that the hidden Junyi's face is also revealed, as if the handsome has been fermented for many years, and has become a more attractive and unique temperament, with a deep taste. Ling Lie's sudden change seemed to be more than ten years younger all of a sudden, so that Ling Xi almost didn't recognize it.

Ling Lie touched his chin and said with a smile:

"What, don't you get used to it?"

Sloppy for so long, and now suddenly cleaning it up, even Ling Lie himself is a little unaccustomed to it.

Ling Xi hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile:

"No, I'm much younger, like my brother. ”

Although he didn't know why Ling Lie suddenly made it like this, he no longer had that decadent feeling on his body. This made Ling Xi feel very happy, he felt that Ling Lie seemed to have figured out some things before these changes would happen.

Eating a hearty meal, Ling Xi felt very warm. Ever since he knew how to cook by himself, he had never eaten a meal made by Ling Lie himself, and he had long forgotten what it tasted like, but he remembered that it was delicious, and there seemed to be his father's love for his mother and him in it, which made him feel very warm.

After eating, Ling Xi happily washed the dishes and chopsticks, and called him after washing Ling Lie.

"Xi'er, come here. ”

Ling Lie called Ling Xi, asked him to sit down next to him, and said slowly:

"You've always wanted to know about your mother. ”

Ling Xi was a little surprised, this was the first time his father took the initiative to mention his mother, and he was a little nervous in his heart. Because he felt that his father had never wanted to mention his mother, maybe his mother had died. Although it was only a guess in his heart, he was really afraid that his father would say it now, even if he was already a little prepared.

"Maybe you think I don't mention your mother because she died, but no, your mother is alive, in a place that even I can't reach. Your mother is the most perfect woman in the world, and a lot of things happened between me and your mother, and we finally got together, but because of some things, your mother had to leave us after giving birth to you. ”

Ling Lie looked reminiscing, as if he was recalling the bits and pieces with Ling Xi's mother, and a rare happy smile appeared on his face.

Ling Xi looked at his father with a look of reminiscence, he felt that he could make his father smile like this, I am afraid that his mother was the only one in the world.

affirmed that her mother was still alive, but Ling Xi couldn't be happy, and her heart was more wronged, a full fourteen years of grievances.

"What the hell is that, Mother will leave us. ”

Ling Xi clenched his fists, his eyes a little moist. Since he was a child, he didn't want to run around his mother like other children, calling the word mother one after another. He is only fourteen years old, not twenty years old, and other children are not carefree at this age, even if the sky falls, there are parents who will support them. He was the only one who endured everything early and experienced the pain of reality. It is impossible to say that he has no grievances in his heart, but no one shares all this with him, so he can only hide it in his heart and digest it silently by himself.

"Over the years, I know you've worked hard, and I wouldn't want you to be like this if I could. ”

Ling Lie naturally knew how much his son had suffered over the years, and when he saw it in his eyes, it hurt even more in his heart. At that time, he promised his wife to let his son grow up carefree, but it backfired, he did not fulfill his promise to his wife, but let his son bear a lot early.

"Father, I don't blame you. ”

Ling Xi looked at the painful Ling Lie, and felt a little sad in his heart. Although he didn't know what his father was bearing alone, his father would never be like what he seemed on the surface, and Ling Xi naturally knew how depressed his heart was. So he didn't blame his father, but he couldn't help his father share some of the burden.

"I am very gratified that for so many years, even if you are alone, you have not gone astray, you are the same as your mother, the same kindness, the same strength. ”

Ling Lie looked at Ling Xi, for so many years, if it weren't for the fetters of his son, he would have gone to find his wife a long time ago. He also knew how terrible the consequences would be for him to do so. Fortunately, with Ling Xi by his side for so many years, he is not alone

The earth is alive.

"Mother's ......"

Ling Xi kept imagining what her mother would be like, she must be a great person who would make her father love so deeply and read so much.

"Back then, I tried my best and didn't bring back your mother, but at that time, your mother handed you over to me, saying that this is our family's fate, and it is your fate. ”

Ling Lie seemed to recall something, and there was something more in his eyes, like unwillingness and self-blame, unwillingness and self-blame for the original result did not bring back Ling Xi's mother, otherwise Ling Xi would definitely not have lived so hard.

"Fate?"

Ling Xi suddenly felt that all this was not so simple, just the two simple words of fate, like an insurmountable mountain, overwhelmed people, and separated him from his mother.

"I still can't tell you anything about your mother. ”

It may be that he saw through what Ling Xi was thinking, Ling Lie didn't continue, he felt that it was too early to tell Ling Xi all this, it would only add pressure to Ling Xi.

"Why can't you tell me?"

Ling Xi's mood was a little low, he thought that his father was finally going to say something about his mother. In the end, his father kept silent, and he didn't know when he would tell him everything.

"Because you are too weak, you have also decided to cultivate, so you promised me to go forward without stopping, and when you become strong enough, I will naturally tell you the truth of everything, and at that time, you will follow me to pick up your mother and reunite our family. ”

Ling Lie naturally knew how difficult it was to cultivate, and it was even more difficult to become a supreme powerhouse, and if he didn't pay attention to that process, he would lose his life. Telling Ling Xi something too early would only become an obstacle to his cultivation, and not telling him would instead become the driving force for his cultivation.

"How strong should I become?"

Ling Xi still knew a little about the realm of cultivation, and now he was bent on reaching the realm required by Ling Lie as soon as possible, completely unaware that his state of mind was already chaotic.

"You have to remember that cultivation is the most taboo to be ambitious, and if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and one step at a time is the most important thing, and you must remember this. When I truly recognize your strength, I will naturally say. ”

Ling Lie's brows furrowed slightly, he found that Ling Xi's mood was disturbed, after all, his son was only fourteen years old. And he also has some worries, Ling Xi is too attached to his mother, and he doesn't know if it's good or bad.

"However, I don't seem to be able to cultivate. ”

Ling Lie's words calmed Ling Xi's mood, and he himself realized the impulse in his heart just now. There was also the problem that he failed to resonate with the Qiyin Stone, which meant that he could not cultivate.

"I know it all, it's not that you can't cultivate, it's that you have one less thing and one more thing. ”

Ling Lie nodded, as if he knew in advance that Ling Xi would not be able to resonate with the Qiyin Stone, and did not ask anything specifically, but directly explained the reason for the incident.

"One thing missing, one more thing?"

Ling Xi didn't understand what Ling Lie was talking about, he never knew what he was more and what he was missing.

"It's that one thing that causes the strange reaction of the Seal Stone, that kind of thing is intolerable in this world, so the Seal Stone wants to destroy you. As for the missing thing, I don't know if I can get it back, I'll take you to solve it later, but the process will be extremely painful, so painful that you want to give up your life, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Ling Lie looked at the west, and couldn't help but worry about Ling Xi in his heart, after all, that process, even if he was at the beginning, he almost failed, not to mention that this time was many times more powerful than his time, and he didn't know if Ling Xi could persevere.
