"Brother, what's going on tonight?"
After leaving the waterfall, Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"tonight?"
Xiao Chen thought of what Xiao Sheng said and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I might have something to do tonight, what's the matter?"
"Nothing. I just thought if you had nothing to do, you could go find a place to drink."
Xiao Yu shook his head.
"Brother, if you have something to do, just go ahead and do it."
"Well, go find Xiaobai and the others. I have something to do tonight."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"good."
Xiao Yu agreed.
"Okay, you can go back first. If you have nothing to do, study the sword skills and footwork I taught you. Especially the footwork, it can save your life at the critical moment."
Xiao Chen warned.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely practice more."
Xiao Yu nodded and left.
After Xiao Yu left, Xiao Chen did not go back, but went to find Xiao Lin.
There are some things that Xiao Sheng doesn't want to tell you, so he plans to ask Xiao Lin.
When Xiao Lin saw Xiao Chen coming, his heart skipped a beat. His father was right and he came to find him.
"Boy, why are you here? Is there something wrong? If not, go do what you need to do. I'm busy right now."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and wanted to send him away.
"Uncle Qi, I have something to talk to you about."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Ah? Something's up, okay."
Xiao Lin had no choice. He knew something had happened and he couldn't just chase the person away.
"Come on, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
"good."
Xiao Chen agreed.
After they sat down, the maid brought tea. Xiao Lin picked it up and drank it slowly. He went over what Xiao Sheng had said to him in his mind again. Then he felt that he was prepared and would not reveal any flaws.
"Xiao Chen, why are you here to see Uncle Qi?"
Xiao Lin put down the teacup and asked.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin, feeling a little strange. His Seventh Uncle seemed a little weird today.
However, he did not think much about it: "Uncle Qi, didn't you tell me not to blame him? Didn't he have his own difficulties back then? I want to know what his difficulties were."
"Well, this..."
Xiao Lin was a little speechless. Why did he go straight to the point right away?
"Actually, I don't remember much about what happened back then. I was traveling at the time, and when I came back, you had already left the Xiao family."
"Uncle Qi, you must know something, so you told me that, right?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"Well, I think that as a father, how can he not care about the life and death of his own son, right? He didn't care about you at that time and let you leave the Xiao family. He must have had his reasons..."
Xiao Lin said this and took another sip of tea.
"Xiao Chen, people should look forward. There is no point in pursuing what happened in the past... Look at you coming back this time. Did he do what a father should do? Even when Xiao Mian, cough, the Fifth Ancestor said he wanted to deprive him of his position as the head of the family, he didn't care and wanted to protect you."
“…”
Xiao Chen thought of the scene a few days ago, and he was quite shocked at that time.
He never expected that Xiao Sheng would be willing to split the Xiao family to protect him.
It was because of what happened at that time that he didn't know how to face Xiao Sheng.
"Think about it, this time he risked his life to protect you. He must have had his reasons for not caring about you back then. Otherwise, why would the two times be so different, right?"
Xiao Lin said seriously.
"Uncle Qi, you really don't know?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and asked again.
"I really don't know. After I returned to the Xiao family, I heard about what happened and went to look for him... At that time, I found that he was also in pain. He told me that he had his own difficulties, but I don't know the details."
Xiao Lin shook his head and said irresponsibly.
He thought that he should push the matter to Xiao Sheng first. As for how Xiao Sheng told Xiao Chen, it had nothing to do with him.
He could even talk about the collapse of space. Xiao Sheng should be able to make up some story to deal with Xiao Chen!
"So you didn't ask again?"
Xiao Chen didn't give up.
"I asked him, but he said nothing. What can I do? Not to mention whether I can beat him or not, even if I can, I don't dare to beat him. He is the head of the Xiao family, right?"
Xiao Lin felt that the less he said, the fewer mistakes he made; and the better off he was, he would leave everything to Xiao Sheng.
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen thought of something: "Seventh Uncle, what is his strength?"
"What strength? It should be the peak of the late stage of Hua Jin, right?"
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said.
"What's wrong?"
"The peak of the late stage of Hua Jin?"
Xiao Chen frowned, he felt that Xiao Sheng should be more than just at the peak of the late Hua Jin stage!
If he was at the peak of the late stage of Hua Jin, it would be impossible for him to hide in the dark and it took a long time for him to discover him!
Furthermore, because of the cultivation techniques he had practiced, he was still able to sense the realm of ancient warriors.
Especially when it comes to people who are not as strong as him, his perception is generally not wrong.
Although he is at the peak of the late stage of Hua Jin and his realm is higher than his, his current combat power is not at Hua Jin level, so he can also sense it.
But he couldn't sense Xiao Sheng!
This left him no time to think about it!
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Xiao Lin nodded.
"In fact, he is also very talented, but in recent years, because he has been in charge of the Xiao family, he has delayed his cultivation. Otherwise, he will have no problem reaching the Great Perfection."
"Uncle Qi, have you ever seen him take action?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.
"It's been a while. He didn't do it the past two days."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"how?"
"I think he has hidden his strength, which is more than the peak of the late stage of Huajin."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Hmm? Hiding his strength? Could it be that he has reached the Great Perfection?"
Xiao Lin's eyes widened.
"No way? Why would he hide his strength? The stronger he is, the stronger his control over the Xiao family will be!"
"I don't know either, it's just my guess."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"It's also possible that I guessed wrong."
"I think you are wrong. He has no reason to hide his strength."
Xiao Lin said to Xiao Chen.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Uncle Qi, my mother...is gone?"
"Yes, no longer."
Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Chen, nodded, and sighed.
"Alas, you asked me several times before, and I didn't know how to tell you. After all, you were still young then..."
"Why wasn't she buried in the Xiao family?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"This... I'm not very clear either. I wasn't at the Xiao family at the time."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"If you want to know, you can ask him... He was the one who took charge of all these things."
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. If I could ask him, why would I ask you? I just wanted to know if he was lying.
Xiao Lin also murmured in his heart, what should I say, let's leave the lying matter to one person.
"Well, Xiaochen, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go get busy first... I, your seventh uncle, am busy now and not as free as before."
Xiao Lin was afraid that Xiao Chen would ask more questions, so he prepared to leave.
"Well, come to think of it, it was you who pushed me into the fire pit."
"Haha, it's a good thing that Uncle Seventh is in charge of the Xiao family. I also believe in Uncle Seventh's ability."
Xiao Chen smiled and stood up.
"Okay, then I won't bother Uncle Qi anymore. I'll leave first."
"Okay, let's go."
Xiao Lin nodded and was finally about to leave.
"By the way, Uncle Seven, how did my mother die?"
Before Xiao Chen left, he thought of something and asked another question.
"How did he die?"
Xiao Lin was startled, a little confused, how did he die? Big brother didn't say anything just now, how should I answer?
"Yes, how did he die?"
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Xiao Lin.
"It seems like...an accident? Yes, an accident."
Xiao Lin hesitated and told about an accident.
He thought that it was a good idea to say "accident". This word represented too much. When the time came, Xiao Sheng could just find an "accident" to deal with it.
"Accident?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"What accident?"
"I didn't ask that. If you want to know, you can go ask him...Xiaochen, you're back now. You should go have a good talk with him. After all, you are father and son, right?"
Xiao Lin patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder.
"Okay, I'm going to get busy now."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, and narrowed his eyes as he watched Xiao Lin go away.
Accident?
Is serious illness an accident?
Not really.
Who deceived himself?
After they walked away, Xiao Lin took out his cell phone and called Xiao Sheng.
"Alin."
Xiao Sheng's voice came from the receiver.
"Brother, you are right. That boy just came to see me."
Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Xiao Sheng asked.
"I just don't know anything about anything. The less you say, the less mistakes you make. The less you say, the better. I just answered with a few words and got by with it."
Xiao Lin was a little proud. I am so smart.
"That's good……"
Xiao Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two chatted for a while, Xiao Lin was about to hang up the phone: "Oh, by the way, brother, there is something I have to remind you. Xiaochen asked how her mother died, and I said it was an accident... As for what kind of accident, I didn't say. I'll make one up when you see it."
“…”
There was no movement from Xiao Sheng.
"What's wrong, big brother? There are so many accidents, such as car accidents and this and that. It's not difficult to make up one."
Seeing that Xiao Sheng didn't say anything, Xiao Lin helped to give some advice.
"I told him that he died of a serious illness..."
Xiao Sheng said quietly.
"ah?"
Xiao Lin’s eyes widened, what the hell.
"So, is a serious illness considered an accident?"
"What do you think?"
Xiao Sheng was having trouble breathing.
"No, this kid is nothing. You told him that you were seriously ill, and he still came to ask me?"
Xiao Lin stared.
"Okay, I'm hanging up... I need to think about how to connect your accident to your serious illness."
Xiao Sheng finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Xiao Lin scratched his head. How the hell could he get in touch?
What kind of illness is an accident?
"This little bastard..."
Xiao Lin muttered, forget it, let Xiao Sheng worry about it, it was his fault for not telling him before!
"Kid, Uncle Seventh didn't mean to lie to you. These are all white lies. You are still too weak now. We are all doing this for your own good..."
After saying this, Xiao Lin thought about Xiao Chen's death, and then thought about his own strength. Alas, I won't say any more. My heart can't take it.
