Xiao Yichen was tangled up in a fight with the man in black robes, his moves were fierce but restrained. The man in black robes had strange and unpredictable martial arts, his moves were sinister and vicious, but at the critical moment, he always avoided the vital points.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen asked sternly, with the tip of his sword pointing directly at the black-robed man's chest.

The man in black robe suddenly laughed wildly, his laughter was full of sadness and helplessness: "Who am I? I am the most pathetic person in the world. I watched my wife die tragically, but I was powerless and could only hide in the dark and live a miserable life!"

He suddenly lifted up his black robe, revealing a weather-beaten face. It was Chu Mengmeng's father, the head of the Chu family - Chu Tianxiong!

"Father!" Chu Mengmeng looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, her eyes blurred with tears.

"Mengmeng, I'm sorry. It's your father's fault for not protecting you, causing you to suffer so much." Chu Tianxiong burst into tears, filled with remorse.

It turns out that Chu Tianxiong was not dead. He was hunted down by his enemies and was seriously injured. It was the people of "Mingyuan" who saved him. In order to repay his gratitude and for revenge, he joined "Mingyuan" and became their leader.

The real goal of "Mingyuan" is not to rule the world, but to use the power in their hands to maintain the balance of the world. They secretly eradicate evil forces and protect world peace.

In the end, Chu Tianxiong chose to sacrifice himself and bury the secret of "Nether Abyss" forever. He looked at Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, his eyes full of love and hope: "Children, live the life you want, this world will eventually usher in eternal light..."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and passed away suddenly.

With the destruction of "Mingyuan", the world returned to peace and tranquility. People praised Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen for their heroic deeds, but they chose to return to their ordinary lives.

They returned to their shop with their daughter Ling'er and started a new life. Xiao Yichen still made delicious cakes every day, Chu Mengmeng helped in the shop, and Ling'er ran around in the shop, her laughter as clear and sweet as a silver bell.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. Chu Mengmeng and her family of three sat in the yard, enjoying the rare tranquility.

"Mom, Dad, look, what is that?" Ling'er pointed to the sky in the distance and shouted excitedly.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked up and saw a colorful light appear in the sky. The light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a beam of light, rushing straight into the sky...

"This light..." Xiao Yichen's face changed slightly, as if he thought of something. He stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of the light column.

Chu Mengmeng also felt something was wrong. She held Xiao Yichen's hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, but held her hand tightly, his eyes deep, as if he saw something through the beam of light... The colorful light gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to its former azure blue, as if nothing had happened. Chu Mengmeng looked at the sky, but a trace of indescribable loss rose in her heart. Xiao Yichen gently stroked her back and comforted her softly: "It's okay, he's gone."

Ling'er tilted her head back and asked curiously, "Daddy, who left? Where did he go?"

Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chu Mengmeng: "This is what he left behind."

Chu Mengmeng took the letter. On the envelope were simply written the words "Mengmeng Dearly ...

Mengmeng, when you see this letter, I will have left.

Thank you and Yichen for your trust in me, which gave me the opportunity to complete my mission. This world is full of unknowns and challenges, but I believe that you and Yichen will be able to protect it.

Ling'er is a good child. She has a kind and brave heart. I believe she will become someone like you in the future.

Finally, I wish you happiness forever.

——A passer-by

The letter slipped from Chu Mengmeng's hand. Her eyes were slightly red, and she felt mixed emotions. Ling'er picked up the letter, folded it carefully, and handed it to Xiao Yichen: "Daddy, keep it."

Xiao Yichen took the letter, put it solemnly in his arms, looked at Ling'er, his eyes full of relief: "Ling'er, do you want to be like your father and mother?"

Ling'er nodded without hesitation: "I want to make delicious cakes like my father, help those in need like my mother, and also be like..." She paused and looked at the sky where the light had disappeared, "protect this world like him!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen smiled at each other, their eyes full of hope. They believed that the three of them would walk together on the road ahead, and no matter how many storms there were ahead, they would face them hand in hand.

"Knock knock knock..." A series of knocks on the door broke the silence in the yard.

“Coming!” Chu Mengmeng responded, turned around and walked towards the store door. She had a vague premonition in her heart that something wonderful was about to happen...

"Squeak--" The wooden door opened. Chu Mengmeng looked at the people outside the door with a surprised smile on her face, "It's you..."

"It's you..." Chu Mengmeng looked at the villagers in front of her with surprise. They were the ones who were captured by the mysterious organization and later rescued by Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.

"Miss Chu, Mr. Xiao, we came to see you and thank you for saving our lives!" An elderly villager said excitedly, his eyes full of gratitude. Other villagers echoed him, carrying baskets full of fresh vegetables, fruits, and homemade cakes, all of which were delicious countryside delicacies.

Chu Mengmeng quickly welcomed them into the store and asked them to sit down at the table. "You are so polite, folks. This is what we should do." Xiao Yichen said as he poured tea for the villagers.

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know where we would be suffering right now!" A middle-aged woman's eyes were red. "You are our lifesavers!"

"Yes, yes," another villager took over the conversation, "Now everyone in the village lives a stable life, all thanks to you!"

Listening to the simple words of the villagers, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen felt a warm current in their hearts. They knew that everything they did was worth it.

Ling'er curiously shuttled among the villagers, her big eyes twinkling. The villagers all fondly touched her head and praised her for being cute and sensible. Ling'er also happily chatted with them, and the shop was filled with laughter.

As night fell, after seeing off the villagers, Chu Mengmeng and her family of three came to the top of the mountain. The night sky was clear and dotted with stars, like countless shining diamonds inlaid on the dark blue curtain, emitting charming light.

Ling'er pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly: "Daddy, Mommy, look, there are so many stars!"

"Yes," Xiao Yichen picked up Ling'er and pointed to the brightest star in the sky, "That's the North Star. It always points to the north."

Chu Mengmeng snuggled up to Xiao Yichen, looking up at the starry sky, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. They had gone through so many hardships, and finally ushered in peace and tranquility.

"Yi Chen, what do you think will happen in the future?" Chu Mengmeng asked softly.

Xiao Yichen looked down at Ling'er in his arms, his eyes full of determination: "No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together."

A cool breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and a few unknown birds chirped in the distance, breaking the tranquility of the mountaintop. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen turned their heads at the same time, looking in the direction of the sound, their eyes becoming alert...

Chapter 319 Eternal Light

The night wind blew gently, the shadows of the trees swayed, and a few strange bird calls in the distance broke the silence on the top of the mountain. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen exchanged glances, and both saw a hint of vigilance in each other's eyes.

"Daddy, Mommy, what's wrong?" Ling'er seemed to have sensed the change in atmosphere. She poked her little head out of Xiao Yichen's arms and looked around curiously.

Xiao Yichen gently put Ling'er down and said softly, "Ling'er, play with Xiaobai for a while. Daddy and mommy will be back soon."

Ling'er nodded obediently, picked up the little white fox that had been accompanying them, and walked to the other side of the hill to play. The little white fox seemed to have noticed something strange, and growled a few times in the direction of the woods.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen walked towards the woods side by side. The moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of mystery to the atmosphere.

"Who is there?" Xiao Yichen asked in a deep voice, his voice sounded particularly clear in the silent night sky.

A deep voice came from deep in the woods: "Hello, Miss Chu, Mr. Xiao."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other and became more alert. This voice was strange yet familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before, but I couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding?" Chu Mengmeng asked.

A figure slowly walked out of the woods, the moonlight illuminating his face. It was the mysterious man I had seen in the mysterious organization before!

"Why is it you?" Chu Mengmeng said in surprise, "You...you are not..."

The mysterious man smiled and said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the place to talk. Come with me, someone wants to see you."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow the mysterious man. They knew that since the mysterious man dared to show up, he must have some plan, and they also wanted to know what secrets were hidden behind all this.

After passing through the dense woods, the view suddenly opened up and an ancient altar appeared in front of them. Dozens of stone pillars stood around the altar, each of which was engraved with mysterious runes and emitted a faint light.

In the center of the altar stood a figure in a black robe. His face was hidden under the hood and his true features could not be seen clearly.

"Are you the mastermind behind all this?" Xiao Yichen asked coldly.

The man in black robe slowly raised his head, revealing an old and majestic face. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.

"Young people, you have done a great job. The world needs guardians like you." The man in black robe said, "I am here to thank you, and at the same time, to tell you a secret..."
