"Are you blaming me?"
Gu Qing looked at Xiao Yuan and asked.
Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a little nervous."
"Nervous about your new identity and new life?"
"That's right. I want to know, will I forget everything now?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"I have to do this in order to make others feel at ease about you." Gu Qing replied.
Xiao Yuan nodded again.
"The demons...are they really that scary? What exactly are they afraid of? What exactly are they afraid of?"
"The demons were mortal enemies of the human race back then. In a sense, the demons were the invaders and the human race was the invaded. The demons caused too much harm to the human race, so until now, the human race is still afraid of the demons, even those who have demon blood, such as you. Your mother is just an ordinary demon woman. When your mother and I were just together, we were hunted down by someone. If it weren't for my strength, we might have died long ago." Gu Qing said with a wry smile.
Xiao Yuan said, "Well, I understand. I will practice hard in the future. Even if I no longer remember my identity, even if I am no longer myself, one day I will return to the Central Region and become a figure like my father. I will make them fear me as much as they fear the demons. I will make them never dare to disrespect me again!"
When Xiao Yuan said this, his expression was extremely serious, without any childish look, as if he was making a great oath.
Gu Qing patted Xiao Yuan's head and said, "Son, no matter what choice you make, your father will support you. But you must remember to protect yourself in the future. No matter what humiliation you suffer, only by living can there be hope. Only by living can you regain your dignity. Everything is based on your survival. Remember your father's words, understand?"
"Yes! Father, I understand!" Xiao Yuan nodded vigorously.
Gu Qing suddenly felt a little sad. "If I were still the same person I was back then, I would definitely not let you go through this. Unfortunately, I can't do that anymore. Father is old and can no longer protect you. I hope you don't blame me."
"No! I have never blamed my father, and he never owed me anything."
Gu Qing smiled, and his eyes gradually became moist.
…
Three days later, there was heavy rain with lightning and thunder.
Chi Hao sat in front of the hall in a daze, with unconcealable grief in his eyes.
Xiao Yuan knelt in the center of the hall with his head bowed deeply.
"Brother Gu...is he really gone?"
Chi Hao felt like something was stuck in his throat.
"My father just passed away. Before he left, he told me not to tell my adoptive father." Xiao Yuan said.
"Did you leave any message?"
"My father told me to have my adoptive father drop me off somewhere on the mainland, as remote as possible, erase my memories, and give me a new identity so I can start a new life."
"What do you think?" Chi Hao asked.
"I will do whatever my godfather says."
Chi Hao nodded and said, "Don't be too sad. Your father is a true peerless genius, a legend. You should follow his example and strive to surpass your father."
Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Father is indeed a legend. Perhaps no one can surpass him, not even me."
"You have to believe in yourself. You inherited your talent from your father. As the saying goes, the disciple is better than the master. You have to believe in yourself." Chi Hao encouraged.
Xiao Yuan shook his head and said nothing more.
"Godfather, my father has passed away. You will be in charge of the next things." Xiao Yuan said suddenly.
Chi Hao naturally knew what Xiao Yuan was talking about, so he nodded and said, "When do you plan to leave?"
"Right now."
"Now? So anxious?" Chi Hao asked with a frown.
"Father has passed away. The outside world doesn't know this news yet, but I'm sure they are all waiting, waiting for Father to leave. If I stay one more day, it will be more dangerous, and it may also bring trouble to the Chi clan, so let's do it now."
Chi Hao thought about it, then nodded and said, "In that case, I won't say much."
"Godfather!"
"Hmm? Anything else?"
"Just keep it a secret from her about Yu'er," Xiao Yuan said.
"Okay!" Chi Hao nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Then... come on."
The next day, the Chi clan leader announced that he would sever ties with his adopted son and expel him from the Chi clan.
At the same time, the power that Chi Hao had secretly arranged began to operate continuously.
…
Eastern Region, Shuihan Empire.
Looking at Xiao Yuan who had fallen into a deep sleep, Chi Hao's soul power swept over him like an overwhelming force. After making sure there was no danger around, he put him on the ground.
"Xiao Yuan, just have a good sleep here. When you wake up, you will have a brand new memory."
Chi Hao slowly stretched out his hand, a ball of white light appeared above his right hand, and then gently merged into Xiao Yuan's head.
"This is a fragment of memory I created. I hope you will never remember the previous memory."
Chi Hao murmured after letting out a breath.
After looking at the sky, Chi Hao stood up and left.
At night, a couple passed by and saw the child sleeping on the ground, so they took him home and named him Gu Yuan!
…
"Miss, it's already late, you should rest."
An old figure suddenly appeared, waking up Chi Yuer who was still reminiscing about the past.
It was pitch black outside the pond, and I felt a little dazed.
"Grandpa Tian, do you think he will go to the Central Region?" Chi Yuer asked.
