Long Chen bid farewell to the mirage of nothingness and returned to Duan Zhu's house. I saw Duan Zhu sitting in front of a portrait, staring at the person in the portrait with teary eyes.

"Yun'er, what's wrong with Auntie?"

Yun'er shook her head and said softly: "I don't know, every year today, A-Niang seems to be very painful, as if she is thinking about someone." ”

"Missing someone?" Long Chen suddenly remembered that when he first came here, Aunt Duan Zhu told him about the deeds of an uncle surnamed Xiao, she said that Uncle Xiao could not exist in this world, and she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but today I heard what the teacher said, he didn't belong to this world, which seems to be somewhat similar to the meaning of Uncle Xiao that Aunt Duan Zhu refers to. Then, he took a closer look at the image hanging on the wall, and the soul phantom of the teacher he saw today, although it was not very real, but it did have some similarity, could it be that there was some connection between the two?

After a long time, Duan Zhu walked out of his grief and wiped away his tears.

"Aunt Duan Zhu, are you thinking about Uncle Xiao again?"

Yun'er helped Duan Zhu sit down, and said while wiping her tears: "Auntie, I have always been so sad since I was a child watching you every year today, and my daughter is also very painful in my heart. ”

Duan Zhu hugged Yun'er and stroked her hair, and said lovingly: "Yun'er, don't worry about your mother, your mother is fine." ”

Then she said: "Chen'er, Yun'er, do you know why I am so sad on this day every year? ”

Naturally, the two didn't know.

"Back then, in order to track down the great villain who killed his teacher, father-in-law, and mother-in-law, I accompanied him to the ends of the world, and finally traced the whereabouts of the great villain in a place called Xiaojinghu.

Although my father has never had a day of fatherly love for me, he is my father after all, so I had to disguise myself as my father and go to the appointment for my father, but he died in the hands of Brother Xiao, and then came to this world in a leisurely manner. Although I was reborn in this world, the memories of my past life have always been hidden in my mind, so every year on this day, I recall the pain of the choice I made back then. ”

Long Chen was surprised: "It turns out that Aunt Duan Zhu was not in this world in her previous life. ”

Duan Zhu then said: "I know that Brother Xiao is more painful than me after learning the truth, he has a deep hatred of blood, chasing the great evildoers in the world, he was born in the Khitan, grew up in the Great Song Dynasty, has feelings for both sides, it is difficult to choose between both sides, my most painful thing is that I can't share the worries by his side, I can only let him bear all the pain alone, his life's wish is to go with me to the outside of the Saiwai to herd horses and sheep, but unfortunately all this has come to naught." ”

Hearing Aunt Duan Zhu's statement, Long Chen could almost conclude that the teacher was Aunt Duan Zhu's sweetheart, but the teacher could only appear in the image of a soul now, and could only be confined to the Void Devouring Ring.

He really wanted to tell Aunt Duan Zhu about the teacher immediately, but first, the teacher had explained that he couldn't tell the world about the Void Swallowing Ring, and secondly, after all, things are the same, people are similar, and the teacher must be Aunt Duan Zhu's sweetheart? There is also the fact that the current teacher is a soul body, and he has no way to send Aunt Duan Zhu into the Void Devouring Ring to meet the teacher, so for the time being, don't tell Aunt Duan Zhu the truth, after the treatment teacher confirms, help the teacher restore his true body, and then tell the truth.

"A-Niang, don't be sad, Yun'er will always stay by A-Niang's side." Yun'er snuggled into Duan Zhu's arms and cried.

"Yun'er, you and Chen'er are the closest people to my mother, and my mother is really happy to have you by my mother's side."

Long Chen was also touched by the affection of Duan Zhu's mother and daughter at this moment, what he has always lacked the most is family affection, Aunt Duan Zhu has always treated him like his own son, why don't he recognize Aunt Duan Zhu as his godmother? So he turned over and bowed down.

"Chen'er, what are you doing here?" Duan Zhu hurriedly went to help Long Chen up.

"No, Aunt Duan Zhu, if it weren't for you these days, I would have starved to death, you are closer than my biological mother, from now on you are my mother, you and Yun'er are my closest people."

Duan Zhu was moved to help Long Chen up, and said with tears in his eyes: "Child, it is not in vain for a mother to have these two children of you, but Chen'er, in fact, you ......" Speaking of this, Duan Zhu's words came to an abrupt end.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing, you'll find out later."

Yun'er said a little sourly: "Brother Chen will be my mother's child from now on, that is, my brother." ”

How could Duan Zhu not know what Xiao Nizi was thinking, she had a deep affection for Long Chen, thinking that she would not be able to go further after becoming a brother and sister.

"Silly child, how can A-Niang not know what is going on in your heart? You can rest assured. ”

With her mother's words, Yun'er hid in the room shyly.

After dinner, Long Chen returned to his room, and he once again activated his mind to enter the Void Devouring Ring, but the mirage's soul body did not appear.

"After all, the teacher is a soul body, it is impossible to appear at any time, and if you have the opportunity to ask the truth in the future, it is better to improve your cultivation first." Long Chen came out of the ring.

"What is the power of fire? What is the power of ice? Long Chen looked at the cultivation secrets that Mirage had left for him, the Ice Palm and the Red Flame Fist, but he never understood the power of fire and ice, so he thought of Long Gucheng.

In the early morning of the second day, he sneaked to the roof of Long Gucheng's house. With his particularity, he was naturally able to avoid the Yuan Force search of the Dragon Lonely City.

In the cultivation ground, Long Gu City, Long Gu Mountain, and Long Huan each stood according to their positions. But looking at Long Huan's expression, he looked so reluctant. Long Gushan's expression was even more indignant.

"Big brother, I can't get used to Long Xiaowu's arrogant face, and I don't want to kill them if I work for them." It turned out that the three brothers, father and son, were discussing whether to serve Longjiabao. Long Gushan has a distinct personality and is extremely disgusted with the high-level of Longjiabao.

"I also agree with the second uncle's opinion."

Long Gucheng sighed: "Second brother, Huan'er, no matter what, we are still the clansmen of Longjiabao, although there are many injustices among the high-level people in Longjiabao, but there is a dragon word on our heads after all. ”

"On weekdays, they show off their might, but when the disaster is really coming, it is really shameful and ridiculous to beg us!" Long Gushan was expressionless, and he had a lot of resistance to the family in his heart.

"We are not serving the high-level of Longjiabao, let alone serving Longxiaowu, but if Heiyun Fort really wants to subvert Longjiabao, will we watch the lives of tens of thousands of people in Longjiabao be taken by them? We can adopt an attitude of escapism in order to be stable, and we can hide from it in one day or two, so can we hide from it in one month, two months, one year, two years? But will the people of Black Cloud Castle let us live in peace? ”

Long Gushan and Long Huan were speechless.

"Second brother, do you remember what the old patriarch said to you and me when he retired?"

Long Gushan sighed: "Yes, the third uncle did say to us when he was leaving, asking us to do our best to protect the family bloodline when the family is in trouble." ”

"Yes, when Elder Kun was talking to us last night, he had already secretly stuffed a note over, hoping that we would put the interests of the family first, put aside our past grievances, and regard it as repaying Elder Kun's affection."

"Okay, big brother listens to you this time, when the day comes, we will look at the dragon word above our heads!"

Long Gushan's thoughts were solved, and Long Gucheng couldn't help but look at his son.

"Since the second uncle has no opinion, then I will listen to my father and second uncle, but I don't want to have anything to do with the upper echelons of Longjiabao."

"You don't need to say that, we are still who we are, and nothing has changed."
