Chapter 041 is the second rebirth
Qi Xiuyuan's strangeness was not only discovered by Shen Yichuan, but soon, the head of the Qi family and his wife also discovered it.
At this time, the Qi family's team had returned to the imperial capital. On the way, the head of the family's wife, Luo Jiulian, couldn't help but look for Qi Xiuyuan.
"Xiuyuan, did you encounter any difficulties in breaking through to the Martial Master level this time?" Luo Jiulian asked cautiously.
Qi Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, why did you say that, mother?"
"These past few days, you've been in a daze a lot, and... don't you think you've become much colder towards Yichuan, Kongyang, and Mengxi?"
Qi Xiuyuan was stunned again. He instinctively wanted to refute, but remained silent.
Luo Jiulian grabbed Qi Xiuyuan's hand and stared into his eyes: "Xiuyuan, do you have any conflicts with Yichuan?"
"...No." Qi Xiuyuan said these two words with a little difficulty.
Luo Jiulian sighed and said earnestly, "Xiuyuan, although Yichuan is a son-in-law, we have seen everything he has done over the years and we all treat him as a family member. The two children also admire him very much. As for you, mother knows you are strong-willed, but you are married after all, and you can't always put cultivation first. You must always take care of your family, right? Didn't you see that Tianyang and Mengxi haven't been around you these past few days? If you continue like this, the two children will become estranged from you."
Qi Xiuyuan's brows finally slowly furrowed.
Luo Jiulian assumed the other party had understood and continued, "They are still young. Although Kong Yang's identity means he will need to learn more in the future, you still need to give him more maternal love while he is still young. You are his parent."
Qi Xiuyuan suddenly held Luo Jiulian's hand, which startled Luo Jiulian, and she looked at her son in confusion.
Qi Xiuyuan slowly pulled the corner of his mouth and said softly, "I understand, mother. I know my limits."
This seemed like he didn't want to talk anymore. Disappointed, Luo Jiulian opened her mouth to say something, but Qi Xiuyuan stood up and left. Finally, Luo Jiulian sighed deeply, not understanding what was wrong. Xiuyuan had always been aloof, but they'd seen his affection for Shen Yichuan and the twins. But after reaching the Martial Honor level... why did it feel like all her son's human emotions had vanished? Could this be a side effect of reaching the Martial Honor level?
Luo Jiulian was really puzzled.
Naturally, there are no such sequelae after breaking through to the Martial Honor level. However, Qi Xiuyuan’s problem was not that he had broken through to the Martial Honor level, but that... he had experienced two rebirths in a period of time!
That’s right, two rebirths.
The first time he was reborn was before he broke through to the Martial Honor Realm. He watched helplessly as his children were killed, his family was destroyed, and Shen Yichuan teamed up with outsiders to commit heinous crimes. At that time, he was extremely hateful and resentful. After his rebirth, he only wanted to kill Shen Yichuan, the culprit, for revenge, and he only wanted him to experience the most miserable things in this world.
However, gradually, as he approached the Snow Moon Forest and obtained the Sky-reaching Mirror, he had a second rebirth, or to be more precise, the memory of his second rebirth.
This second rebirth is the memory of his becoming a god but also falling.
He remembered that after his rebirth, he had taken revenge, brutally killed Shen Yichuan, eliminated all his enemies, and embarked on the path to becoming a god. That was a full thousand years. However, after a thousand years, at the last moment of becoming a god, he still fell, and this fall... was God's will.
Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan often looked up at the sky.
Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan lacks human emotions because he is... a god.
After leaving Luo Jiulian, Qi Xiuyuan looked up at the sky again with a cold look in his eyes. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and turned to walk towards where Shen Yichuan was.
At this time, the twins were surrounding Shen Yichuan, each holding an egg from the Cangshi Dragon clan in their hands, and were also talking about Qi Xiuyuan.
"Dad, is mom and dad sick?" Qi Mengxi asked while touching his balls.
Shen Yichuan raised his eyebrows: "Sick? Why would you think so?"
Qi Mengxi pouted, "Because Mom and Dad ignored us. If he wasn't sick...would he still be angry with us?"
Qi Kongyang also said, "Yesterday, when my parents were looking at the sky, my sister and I went to talk to him. The way he looked at us was... so scary."
Shen Yichuan smiled. Of course it's scary. If your mother and father aren't scary, then there's no one scary in the world! Not to mention you, his eyes make me creepy too!
However, even though he was thinking this, Shen Yichuan smiled very gently. Especially when Lu Yin informed him that Qi Xiuyuan was approaching, Shen Yichuan smiled even more gently and amiably: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Your mother and father have just broken through, so they are a little uncomfortable. How can it be scary? Don't look at your mother and father looking cold, but they love you the most."
The twins blinked, unsure: "Is... is it?"
Outside, Qi Xiuyuan paused slightly.
