After separating from Xiao Lin, Xiao Chen returned to the courtyard.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen, why was he so absent-minded?
"ah?"
Xiao Chen woke up in shock and shook his head.
"Sister Fairy, I met him today."
"Him? Oh, your father?"
Ning Kejun was stunned at first, then he reacted.
Xiao Chen looked at Ning Kejun. He was not used to addressing him as "your father". Even Xiao Lin kept calling him "he".
"Have you met and talked?"
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Yeah, we just chatted for a few minutes."
Xiao Chen nodded, and without hiding anything from Ning Kejun, he briefly explained the whole process.
"Sister Fairy, I feel like he not only hid something from me, he also lied to me."
"About your mother?"
Ning Kejun thought about it and asked.
"Well, I went to ask Uncle Seventh specifically, and he said my mother died in an accident, while he said she was seriously ill..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Why don't you think Xiao Lin lied to you?"
Ning Kejun asked back.
"But I believe that it was your father who deceived you."
"Will Uncle Seven lie to me?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"Why not? Maybe it's a white lie. Don't assume that he lied to you."
Ning Kejun said softly.
"Aren't we going to meet tonight? Let's have a good chat this time. He is your father after all, and you should be able to see that he protects you."
"It wasn't like this back then..."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"You also said that it was back then, and it's all in the past. You can't keep brooding over what happened back then. You should at least give him a chance, right? Maybe, like Xiao Lin said, he has some unavoidable difficulties, and he can't tell you about this difficulty, so he chose to hide it from you."
Ning Kejun said seriously.
“Sometimes, letting go of others is also letting go of yourself.”
"Letting go of others is also letting go of yourself?"
Xiao Chen repeated and nodded slowly.
"Sister Fairy, I understand."
"I won't tell you the truth. Everyone knows it. But if it happens to you, you may not be able to do it... However, I still hope you can let go of what happened in the past! Blood is thicker than water, and no one can change that. Do you understand? He is your father after all!"
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen and said softly.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I will have a good chat with him tonight."
"Haha, no matter what, I hope you can be happy..."
Ning Kejun said with a smile.
"I will."
Xiao Chen looked at Ning Kejun, and when she smiled, it seemed that the heaven and earth had lost their color!
"Sister Fairy, you are so beautiful."
"Be serious... I'm telling you something serious."
Ning Kejun was a little speechless.
"Oh, okay."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. Xiaoyu's mother came to see you and Ling'er today. What's the matter?"
"Nothing, just chatting."
Ning Kejun shook his head.
"Xiao Yu's mother also hopes that you can put aside your prejudice and reconcile with your father... She said that your father has not had an easy life these years."
"Does she know anything?"
Xiao Chen's heart moved and he asked.
“I don’t think I know.”
Ning Kejun shook his head.
"Don't think about learning anything from her. She is Xiao Yu's mother."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and didn't think about it anymore.
The sky gradually darkened.
"Brother Chen, do you have anything to do tonight? Xiaoyu asked us to go to the town for a drink, do you want to go?"
Bai Ye and the others appeared and asked.
"I'm not going. You guys go."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Okay, let's go then."
Bai Ye nodded, and the group left.
Xiao Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. Will he... come to see me tonight?
He was somewhat expectant, but also a little... nervous.
About half an hour later, footsteps were heard.
"Master, the master invites you to Xiantian Pavilion."
A man came in and said to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at this man, who was Xiao Sheng's confidant, and who finally came.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be there in a moment. You can go back first."
"OK."
The man nodded and left.
"Go ahead."
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen and said to him.
"Remember, no matter what, he is your father, don't do anything you shouldn't do."
Hearing Ning Kejun's words, Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What can I do? Can I beat him up?"
"That's not the case. Just keep your temper down."
Ning Kejun shook his head.
"Okay, I understand, Sister Fairy. I'll go then."
Xiao Chen nodded, stood up and walked out.
A few minutes later, he arrived at Xiantian Pavilion and saw Xiao Sheng had already arrived.
Xiao Chen paused, but still walked over.
“Here I come.”
Xiao Sheng turned his head, looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.
"Sit down."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, but did not sit down. Instead, he stood there.
"You used to like going to the waterfall the most, but I like coming to Xiantian Pavilion the most. Do you know why?"
Xiao Sheng stood with his hands behind his back and asked.
"have no idea."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“Is the view nice?”
"Well, Xiantian Pavilion can see most of Xiaoshan Mountain, and you can also see the waterfall... Look there."
Xiao Sheng said, pointing in a direction.
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen was startled and looked over in the direction of his hand.
Although it was dark, he could still see the waterfall, the cascading waterfall and the pool, which sparkled in the moonlight.
Xiao Chen looked at the waterfall and thought of Xiao Sheng's words. He was shocked and seemed to understand something.
Could it be... that he was watching me from here before?
"When you were a kid, you had a very sharp intuition. Sometimes when I'm here, you seem to be able to sense something."
Xiao Sheng also looked in the direction of the waterfall, chuckled, and seemed to be lost in memories.
Xiao Chen frowned. He thought about it carefully and it seemed that it was true. He often felt that he was being stared at... He looked around but found nothing.
He had completely forgotten about this matter, and only remembered it now after Xiao Sheng reminded him.
In other words, what he guessed just now was true. When he was a child, Xiao Sheng would often watch him here.
"Later, I had no choice but to stop staring at you, otherwise you wouldn't go..."
Xiao Sheng retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Chen.
"In a flash, many years have passed, and the child who practiced martial arts under the waterfall has grown up."
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen trembled slightly and clenched his fists.
“Haha, I’m old too.”
Xiao Sheng smiled and pointed to the stone bench.
"Come sit down, let's have a good chat."
Xiao Chen said nothing and sat on the stone bench.
Xiao Sheng also sat down: "I asked the kitchen to prepare some wine and food, tonight...will you drink with me?"
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Do you know why this place is called 'Xiantian Pavilion'?"
Suddenly, Xiao Sheng asked.
"Why?"
Xiao Chen asked subconsciously.
"It is said that an ancestor of the Xiao family was looking at the scenery in this pavilion, and suddenly he had an epiphany, and he entered the innate state!"
Xiao Sheng said with a smile.
"Since then, this pavilion has been called 'Xiantian Pavilion'."
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Chen nodded. He knew this place when he was a child, but he didn't know why it was called this name.
"The Xiao family has a long history. Even among the twelve aristocratic families, it is considered the oldest family... I just didn't expect that it would decline in my hands and become the last in the ranking. Speaking of which, it is also my fault."
Xiao Sheng sighed and said softly.
"I heard that when you took over as the head of the family, the Xiao family was facing internal and external troubles. It was the most critical time. It was not easy for you to keep the Xiao family alive."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Sheng and said.
"After all, there is no great achievement. I hope A-Lin can make the Xiao family rise."
Xiao Sheng said this and looked at Xiao Chen.
"I believe him, and I believe you."
"I went to see Uncle Seven."
Xiao Chen felt that it was time to talk about business.
"He said my mother died in an accident."
"You think I lied to you?"
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"He has been traveling outside these years. Even if he comes back, he can only stay for a few days. There are some things he doesn't know... Your mother is seriously ill. If it was really an accident, how could I not tell you."
"Sure?"
Xiao Chen stared into Xiao Sheng's eyes and asked again.
"Sure."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
Xiao Chen said nothing more. Could it be that Uncle Seventh was really wrong?
He shouldn't lie to himself about this kind of thing.
Xiao Sheng took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "Send it up."
Then he hung up the phone.
"I asked them to bring up some wine and food, and we ate and talked... For many years, I have been fantasizing about this day, and I never thought it would come true."
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile.
Xiao Chen said nothing.
"What are your plans when the Xiao family affairs are over?"
Xiao Sheng asked.
"Go to the Duanmu family."
Xiao Chen did not hide it, he was going to cause trouble for Duanmu Hai.
"Duanmu family? Yes, you had a conflict with Duanmu Hai..."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"I won't stop you, but you have to be careful. Every family has its own background."
"I know."
Xiao Chen said this and looked at Xiao Sheng.
"What realm are you in?"
"The peak of the late stage of Hua Jin."
Xiao Sheng replied.
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Is he really at the peak of the late stage of Hua Jin?
Seeing Xiao Chen's reaction, Xiao Sheng said to himself, I really didn't lie to you, the normal state... is the peak of the late stage of Hua Jin.
"Old fortune teller, do you know that you are going to the Duanmu family?"
"Know."
"OK."
Xiao Sheng nodded, thinking that the old fortune teller should have made some arrangements.
Furthermore, with Xiao Chen's current strength, there shouldn't be any problem.
Soon, someone came up with a food box, opened it, and placed the food and wine on the table.
After they had set out the wine and food, Xiao Sheng waved his hand and said, "You guys can leave first."
"yes."
Several people bowed and left.
Xiao Sheng picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Xiao Chen: "Come, try it. You can't drink it outside. It's brewed by the Xiao family."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and picked up the wine glass. The wine was a light amber color and looked very mellow.
"I'll give you a toast."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Sheng was startled, then smiled: "Haha, OK, OK, come on, do it."
The two clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp!
